Chapter 160
Chapter 160: Undead Valley Examining closely while smiling, Murong Shanshan said: “This guy! He just purchased 24 guards and 24 archers in one go. If I didn’t remember incorrectly, each of these guards seems to cost 100,000 RMB. So rich, he threw out 4.8 million in one go. I don’t know what the use of these level 50 NPC guards is. I estimate each one gets a sword.” [1] Young and Frivolous humbly asked: “Then why do they not buy higher leveled guards?” “The base rank needs to be higher in order to purchase higher leveled guards.” Sun Never Sets explained. Murong Shanshan nodded and said: “Red Blood originally purchased the Guild Creation Certificate for the sky-high price of 400 million, thus it’s only reasonable that they don’t mind investing another 200 million. However, why haven’t they purchased this extremely valuable base yet?” Sun Never Sets a.n.a.lyzed: “If I haven’t guessed wrongly, Red Blood has long since known that the first guild to buy a base would become a public target, thus they have not been in any hurry to purchase this expensive base.”
Murong Shanshan pouted: “Right, Red Blood is hoping for someone else to raise the level of this station to level 3. Afterwards, they intend to use their superior guild strength to attack the city and forcefully s.n.a.t.c.h the finished station. This way they kill two birds with one stone by both avoiding being shot as the first bird and are able to save the huge sum of money that is 200 million.” [2] Young and Frivolous suddenly realized: “This Red Blood is well intentioned, huh.” [3] I smiled and said to Murong Shanshan: “Shanshan, you also have this idea, don’t you?” Murong Shanshan laughed sweetly: “Do I even have any other choice?” … … At this time, a bit of noise came from the front. All of Romantic World’s core members had come over. The person in front was the Guild Master of Romantic World that we had chased off three times. Romantic World had a lot of people who were congregated into a dark ma.s.s. However, our side only had a few hundred people. Most people’s faces paled. However, Murong Shanshan still had a smile on her face as if Romantic Master didn’t worry her at all. “Murong Shanshan, why did you guys come over here?” Romantic Master looked coldly at our group of people. “You can come and see. We’ll leave right away. You don’t mind, right?” Romantic Master laughed raucously while pointing at us and said: “You guys think that you can come and go as you please at my place?” Murong Shanshan smiled in disagreement and said: “If you dare to attack then do it. At most you can chase away the several hundred players here; however, after a bit I will bring all the people in our guild over to visit. I don’t know how you plan to resist – maybe with just these few level 50 NPCs?” Everyone watched Romantic Master. As long as he gave the order war would immediately erupt. After a long while, Romantic Master choked out a line: “Leave then. Give me one week’s time and I promise that you guys will no longer be able to be so arrogant.” Murong Shanshan smugly smiled and said to everyone: “Let’s leave, guys.” Romantic Master’s eyes were about to shoot out fire. Our group of people was terrified as we pa.s.sed through the village’s big gate. Not until everyone separated to go leveling did Murong Shanshan finally let out a breath. Patting her towering chest, she said: “Mother- that scared me to death!” I stared and said: “And here I thought you weren’t afraid. Earlier I was so scared that my legs almost went soft. You didn’t see but thousands of arrows were pointed at us.” “Are you so timid?” Murong Shanshan smiled coquettishly and said: “Let’s go find a place to level. I have less than 10% left before I reach level 51.” [4] I nodded and said while smiling: “I know of a good place that is pretty suitable for a party like ours to level.” “What place?” “Silvermoon Mountains’ northern side’s Undead Valley” “Ah?” Murong Shanshan looked at me in surprise and said: “That place seems to have be outside of Silvermoon City, right? I saw someone explain it on the forums. Everything there is an undead creature – there aren’t even any human NPCs.” “Because of that…” I clapped my hands and said, while licking my lips: “it is a good place to make a fortune. It has been so long since I last sold equipment. In two more days it will be the day of the auction. Getting some equipment ready to supplement household expenses would be good.” Murong Shanshan made a sound: “You really can’t see it, but you really know how to run a household, huh?” “Speak less nonsense, are you going or not?” “Going, of course!” … … Subsequently, the pair left the original small group and afterwards created a two-man leveling party. The Silvermoon Mountains made an arc around Silvermoon City’s eastern side. Between the city walls and the base of the mountain was a vast region of forest. This forest was known as Silvermoon Forest. Behind Silvermoon Forest was the Silvermoon Canyon that we have been overseeing. There were a large variety of monsters in Silvermoon Canyon, their levels ranging from 46-60. The base Romantic World applied for was in an open area of Silvermoon Canyon. It just so happened to connect the two valuable leveling regions, Silvermoon Canyon and Silvermoon Mountains. Our destination is to the north of Silvermoon Mountains. That place is still considered an unexplored region. It is said that the levels of the monsters all surpa.s.s 50, making it a place that normal players cannot withstand. Because Murong Shanshan studied matters involving the map online previously, she was in front leading the way while I followed closely behind her. “Ever since arriving at Silvermoon City, I have seldom had to encounter undead monsters. I am unsure if the monsters here will behave like the ones at Hurricane City.” Murong Shanshan pulled apart a th.o.r.n.y plant in front and said while grinning broadly. “Who knows? 《Moon Monochrome》 for these sorts of games, data is like treasure. For unexplored places, there will be no public information. This is what allows players to find out on their own.” [5] “Is that so?” Murong Shanshan smiled and said: “I heard that a small adventuring group wasn’t careful and ran into a level 100 dragon boss’s nest while exploring the map, resulting in all 11 players losing a level. There was another squad that entered the Misty Forest and walked for three hours without being able to come out. In the end, the players went offline to protest to the Moon Monochrome company. This resulted in the system giving each of them an old-fashioned compa.s.s. Is this what is known as letting the players explore?” “Don’t look at things in such an extreme manner.” I said gloatingly: “Gaming is the same as life. It is in solving one problem after the other that makes it interesting.” “Perhaps that’s the case.” The sky gradually brightened and another dark night quietly pa.s.sed. Murong Shanshan and I have also experienced an hour-long journey, finally arriving at our destination — Undead Valley. I pointed towards the front and said in a low voice: “Look at that gloomy area. There’s not even much gra.s.s growing on the rocks. Even if there is gra.s.s, it’s still that black-colored and practically rotten poisonous gra.s.s. Have you smelled it… the scent of corpses?” “Are you looking to die?” Murong Shanshan strongly thumped me and said angrily: “Don’t say these scary words. Living by myself in this big house, I would spend every night staring at the door unable to sleep if not for playing video games. Moreover, because I had already changed the games olfactory settings to the lowest possible setting, I did not smell the scent you mentioned.” I was disappointed for a while and could only say: “Let’s go. Let’s see what sort of things are ahead.” A small stone road led from the mountain road all the way to the canyon. However, this small road looks to have already been out of use for many years. Messy gra.s.s sprouts squeezed rocks out of the road surface. Perhaps this can no longer be considered a road. The thing that truly surprised me was something else. On the nearby st.u.r.dy tree trunks hung quite a few black human-shaped things. Each one had quite a few flies flying around. Perhaps it had something to do with how closely I was examining, but Murong Shanshan actually did not notice all of this terrifying stuff and was currently humming a song in front. Something in front of our eyes suddenly shook for a moment and a system notification appeared: You have entered the map – The Forgotten Village. Murong Shanshan asked in surprise: “What’s going on? Didn’t it say on the map that this place is the Undead Valley?” “I don’t know, let’s go instead and see!” I lightly said while looking at a rather dilapidated settlement in the distance. Several wild hares suddenly bolted out from the nearby forest. Immediately afterwards, a flock of birds also flew into the sky. The underbrush moved a little as if there was something inside. “Gudong!” Murong Shanshan gulped and was scared into stepping backwards a few steps. I frowned and daringly reached out my sword to brush apart the underbrush about half a person wide. “Wa~!” An ugly zombie jumped out from the underbrush. However, what really scared me was Murong Shanshan’s loud scream. “Elder sister, is there a need to scream so loud? It’s only a zombie. It’s not like you haven’t killed them before.” I pitied myself and raised my sword to slash this level 56 zombie. Murong Shanshan blushed and spoke while feeling wronged: “While it’s not very fearsome, the atmosphere earlier was just too scary.” “Alright alright, hurry and help okay? I expect there will not be a small number of these things nearby.” In two or three moments we got rid of the monster. This sort of zombie’s body breaks very easily. In just a short three seconds, the ground only had a gold coin and a few white paper-like things left. Murong Shanshan hurriedly picked up the loot. However, strangely there was one piece of paper she was completely unable to pick up. I thought for a long while until I suddenly realized: we had happened across a task that can be received by a party! I super quickly picked up that piece of paper and then got a message from the system: This is a piece of damaged paper that looks like it has something written on it. It is just that it has been too many years and I can no longer clearly read it. Maybe there are some other odd things nearby. Murong Shanshan also had a face full of confusion: “What does this count as? We neither received a prompt nor a task.” I touched my nose and said: “With my many years of gaming experience, this is likely to be a precursor to receiving a task. Search again nearby. I believe we will quickly get an answer.” Murong Shanshan nodded her head and at this moment, from the forest on our rightside, came a “Si Si ~ ~” sound. I suddenly felt goose b.u.mps on my neck. Could this place really be haunted? [1] The raw says 估计一剑一个 which roughly means “estimate one sword each one”. [2] The direct translation sounds sort of weird but it is pretty much a negative version of the early bird gets the worm. [3] The line he says is 这个血红好心机啊. I a.s.sume he is being sarcastic unless I translated that incorrectly. [4] I a.s.sumed here that the author meant 10% since it literally just said “10” in the raws. [5] It’s written like that in the raws so I just left it since it’s dialogue anyways.
