Rebirth Of Wild Fire Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Old Man's Favor

Just as he logged in the game, Lu Yang's mailbox ringtone constantly played. He opened to take a look and found that it was a message from the Twilight Old Man.

“Brother, can I ask you a favor? I have yet to acquire all the materials you require, but I'm trying to conquer a dungeon here. Can you give me the shield ahead of time?”

Lu Yang did not expect that Twilight Old Man will put down his body to ask him for help. This was the boss of a guild of 30,000 members. In the future, he would become a well-known commander of the nation war. Yet he himself asked for help.

“What's the matter?” Lu Yang returned a message.

In a dungeon, the Twilight Old Man fought the boss of the first level for the third time. The vice president, Alcoholic Coolbreeze said, “Boss, we can't fight this way. Without a good shield, I can't act as the MT at all.”

MT refers to Shield professions or Shield Knight, who are the main players that are able to sustain the agro from a monster when conquering a dungeon.

“I know that. But I can't buy it, since Lu Yang has yet to come online. What happened to Dominator's side, till how much did they conquer?" The old man said.

Alcoholic Coolbreeze said, “He had already fought the second level dungeon boss.”

“d.a.m.n it.” Twilight Old Man couldn't help but swore and said, “No wonder this grandson didn't steal a shield from me this morning. He had already beaten the first boss.”

“Boss, we can't let Dominator conquer the first dungeon. This achievement will be announced in the whole game. The impact this will have on the future recruitment of players will be too great.”

“I know.” Twilight Old Man was also worried, but he couldn't help it. At this moment every major guild was trying to grab the first achievement. As long as there was a shield out, he would send his men to find and buy it. Being able to meet Lu Yang was very lucky.

While he was worried, he received a message from Lu Yang that he had logged in.

{{Brother, you are finally online.}} Twilight Old Man called excitedly.

{{Is something wrong?}} Lu Yang asked.

{{Don't mention it.}} Twilight Old Man hurriedly told about the setbacks he met in his quest of conquering the dungeon.

{{Who knew the dungeons of are so d.a.m.n difficult. our 20 most elite players can't even kill the first boss of a normal level 3 dungeon. You say how tough it is?}} The old man said.

Lu Yang did not feel it to be unexpected. was designed in such a way in order to not allow players to level up quickly. This was also to reduce the depreciation time of equipment. On one hand to restrict the production of equipment and on the other hand, to improve the difficulty of dungeons. A normal level 3 dungeon not only required 20 players to work together, but also required a certain equipment base, especially the main force MT. One can't simply clear a dungeon with the lack of proper equipment.

{{I can give you the shield first. I'll be at No. 7 Hotel in Dongcheng District, you can meet me here.}} Lu Yang said, he believed that the old man would not renege on his own words.

Twilight Old Man was still worried about Lu Yang's disagreement. He had been worried about using money as a guarantee to make him agree. But he felt that Lu Yang was not a person who cared about money. If he used money to convince him, Lu Yang would definitely disagree, but he was afraid that his words would not be enough to make Lu Yang agree. He didn't think that Lu Yang believed in his character so much. He agreed with no need of a collateral.

{{My brother, thank you for your help this time around. I owe you a big favor. If you need this brother's a.s.sistance in the future, I will do my best to help.}} Twilight Old Man said.

Lu Yang wanted to hear this sentence. He said, {{Alright, I will note it down.}}

{{Just wait for me there, I'll send someone right away.}} Twilight Old Man turned to his vice chairman, Alcoholic Coolbreeze, and said, “Go to the No. 7 Hotel in Dongcheng District. Lu Yang will be there. He agreed to give us the shield first.”

“Great, I will go.” Alcoholic Coolbreeze activated a Return Scroll and flew back to the main city.

Return scrolls were rare items. It was not sold by the system and could only be obtained occasionally from the drop of small group of monsters. The destination place the Return scrolls returns to was not decided by the player but the system designate it at the birthplace square as a default.

It was only two minutes from the square to the No. 7 Hotel in Dongcheng District. Before long, Lu Yang saw a young man running up to him. He remembered that this man was the player who followed behind Twilight Old Man in the morning.

“Master, I'm coming.” Alcoholic Coolbreeze shouted.

Lu Yang beckoned, waiting for the other party to come near. He asked, “You are Alcoholic Coolbreeze?”

“Yes, it's me, Twilight boss sent me here.”

As he spoke, Lu Yang sent out a transaction application. He saw the other party's name was correct and put the young dragon shield on it.

Alcoholic Coolbreeze's eyes widened as he saw the attributes of the dragon shield. He quickly accepted the transaction and said, "Master, thank you very much. With this shield, we can finally hope to conquer the dungeon.”

Lu Yang smiled and said, “I wish you success.”

“Thank you for your kind words.” Alcoholic Coolbreeze quickly rushed back to the dungeon after leaving his thanks.

Lu Yang sent away Alcoholic Coolbreeze and opened his interface. In the game friend search column, he entered the helmet code he bought for Xiao Liang.

Originally this helmet code was for the convenience of players to find each other. They did not expect that many players in order to meet new friends would randomly input helmet codes. In the end, this function had become a new friend software.

After entering the code “0019852476”, Lu Yang saw a name called the Black Armor Warrior.

“This brat is still the same.” Lu Yang thought and smiled. Xiao Liang had used the exact same name in his previous life.

At this time, Xiao Liang had already dashed to the monsters' area outside of the main city and joined the troop of kill stealing players. In the second day of the game, not only the quant.i.ty of players in the level 1 wild monster area did not decrease, instead it had increased a lot.

As an ambitious young man, when Xiao Liang heard that the game was going to be released, he fantasized about his future. He secretly vowed that if he got a game helmet, he would work hard to level up. And if he had the gam e helmet, he would be a golden expert.

But now, looking at the level 1 monster area on the map, there were four platers standing on the green gra.s.s on every square meter. Just a monster alone was suffering from six to seven wooden sword cuts simultaneously. Not only one had to fight the monster but must desperately rely on luck to get the last hit. If he fought from far away, he wouldn't be able to hit it. If he couldn't hit it, he wouldn't be able to kill it. To level up by a level, he needed to kill hundreds of these wild monsters. As he thought about it, Xiao Liang mood became depressed.

“Why is it so difficult?” Xiao Liang gloomily opened the ranking list. As he saw that the top player named Lu Yang had reached level 4, he gave out a sigh.

“Sigh, I really want to know how did this person levelled up so fast.” Xiao Liang thought.

At this moment, a friend request notification appeared, and this player's name was Lu Yang.

Xiao Liang looked at the names of the two players and found that they were exactly the same. He hurried to confirm them and called excitedly, {{Boss, is that you who are the first in the ranking list?}}

Lu Yang smiled and replied, {{Of course.}}

T/N: To distinguish the calls between players, I've used this {{…}}

If you have any better suggestions let me know.
