Chapter 167: Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Snowball

As the number of battles increased, coupled with his near-death combat experiences as well as the masocore Advancement Quest, Qin Ruo was no longer the “raw material supplier” that only meddled around in Kane Jungle and solely relied on selling raw materials to survive. Qin Ruo was becoming more and more aware of the capabilities of Aquamancer and his own combat strength.

With his current status, Qin Ruo was fifty percent sure that he was on a par with Slayer’s Heart if he had to take him on, let alone a Beastblood Berserker with normal equipment. No doubt, this was probably because Slayer’s Heart had shown him his strength without any reservation. If he had reserved his strength, that would have been a different story.

Therefore, when the Beastblood Berserker that he killed brought four other people with him as rushed fiercely toward him, Qin Ruo did not even bother to talk to him and immediately proposed a duel instead.

In the games, speaking with capabilities was far more effective than with words. Besides, it was a quicker way to solve most of the disputes among players.

As expected, right after Qin Ruo challenged him, the Beastblood Berserker immediately blurted out without thinking, “Great! I’ll let you make the first move?” As if fearing Qin Ruo would go back on his word, Beastblood Berserker agreed instantly and exited Savis Town, trailing after Qin Ruo and the others.

Although this Beastblood Berserker had suffered losses because of Qin Ruo at the Snow Domain, in which he was trapped by endless Frostramparts, coming from nowhere, and got killed by the Snow Giants and when he returned, he had quickly found a reasonable explanation for the previous incident. ‘

Perhaps Qin Ruo had been attacking me from behind the iceberg!’

In his heart, he did not really take Qin Ruo, an Aquamancer, seriously. After all, he had all the good equipment with high HP and high Magic Defense.

This group of people, with Qin Ruo and the three others in front, and Beastblood Berserker`s team of four trailing after, attracted the attention of some players.

Nowadays, not only did the people in the real world like to join in the fun, but the players in the virtual world too.

Once they learned that there was a PvP that was not in dueling mode, many players instantly followed them out of town—it was quite rare to see Tier 4 players PvP not far away from outside the town, so it would not hurt to have a look and decide whether to join in the fun or what. Moreover, if a red tagged player emerged in this combat, it would be very interesting.

Once they were out of the town gate, Violetmoon Devilite noticed groups of players gathered around watching the combat. She became nervous and glanced at Qin Ruo worriedly.

“Brother Qin, please, be careful later.”

“Devilite, you’re wrong now. Do you seriously think Qin Ruo is weaker than this dumbass?” Grandiose Dragon said. But the subject this time was not Qin Ruo, but the overconfident Beastblood Berserker. Then Grandiose Dragon followed them out of town.

After the whole afternoon of leveling, there was a huge, obvious change in Grandiose Dragon. Now, he not only clearly recognize Qin Ruo’s strength, but also corrected his previous I-don’t-care, not-serious gaming attitude.

Grandiose Dragon disdainfully glanced at Beastblood Berserker behind him, who was so full of himself and was constantly threatening to kill Qin Ruo, and sneered at him.

‘With his capabilities, he would not even be able to approach Qin Ruo from a regular distance, yet he is still thinking so highly of himself, pfft!’

Blue Princess agreed with him and smiled. “Devilite, we just keep our eyes on it. Brother Qin, use the method you dealt with Crackpot last time. Hehe, trap him! See if he can still laugh afterward!”

Hearing Blue Princess`s suggestion, Qin Ruo was covered in cold sweat.

‘What a joke, the opponent this time is Berserker, how can I use the same method that I used against a Priest to deal with him? A Warrior’s AoE attack will definitely overpower that “ice box 1”! Particularly the Charge skill which will break down Frostramparts.’

Without a doubt, Qin Ruo still admired Blue Princess’s optimism and sportsmanship.

At the same time, Violetmoon Devilite explained, “That’s not what I meant. I’m afraid that Qin Ruo would wrongly kill the Berserker. How about this, Brother Qin, you let him hit you first?”

“…”

Violetmoon Devilite’s naïve remarks rendered the players nearby speechless.

7.00 p.m.

Slayer’s Heart, Violet Orchid, Burning Rose, Little Apple, and iLittle Arrow. The five of them were gathered in front of Savis Town on time. Right when they wanted to send a voice message to Qin Ruo, they suddenly noticed a group of players gathered a couple of meters away from the entrance, and there were still many players rushing there.

“What happened?”

The girls were so curious. So they decided to look from afar.

Tall Slayer’s Heart only took a glance and was stunned. He blinked his eyes a few times and said coolly, “PvP, that guy… looks like it’s Qin Ruo…”

“Huh?! Where?” Burning Rose exclaimed excitedly. Once she knew it was Qin Ruo, her eyes lit up.

“Can’t see anything! Let’s go! Let’s have a look over there and see how Ruo Ruo is doing after these two days!” Little Apple and iLittle Arrow’s interests grew. Grabbing Violet Orchid and Slayer’s Heart’s hands, they ran towards the PvP area.

Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid had known that Qin Ruo was not online these two days. Even if there was some improvement in his capabilities, it would be very limited. However, Qin Ruo’s sudden choice of having a PvP in an area near to the safe zone had aroused their interests. They wondered who the unlucky fellow was.

The five of them squeezed themselves through the crowd. Fortunately, the fight had yet to begin. However Qin Ruo’s situation was not ideal—dozens of Tier 4 players had surrounded Qin Ruo and there were three others in the middle, all wearing menacing unfriendly faces.

“What happening here?”

Slayer’s Heart was stunned and exchanged a confused look with Violet Orchid.

“How dare they bully Ruo Ruo, hmph! Let’s go help him!”

Burning Rose and the two other girls had different personalities compared to Violet Orchid. When they saw Qin Ruo being surrounded in the middle, they immediately rushed to him.

In the crowd, Violet Orchid frowned. In a low voice, she asked Slayer’s Heart, “Do we need to go there?”

“No need. It is near to the safe zone. As long as Qin Ruo does not strike first, those people will not dare to do anything. It is better that we don’t meddle, or we won’t be able to watch how the drama unfolds.”

Violet Orchid nodded in agreement.

Exactly! With their identities as League members, these players without any background would not dare to keep pestering him once they interfered. This would otherwise sabotage Qin Ruo’s duel.

Therefore, two of them stayed, allowing Burning Rose and others to rush to the rescue.

***

Qin Ruo was now having a headache. At first, he wanted to teach these Beastblood Berserkers some lesson with a normal PvP. Unexpectedly, several players killed by the Wintry Vajra also came. Then the troubles became bigger and bigger like a rolling snowball. The number of players increased from a few people to a dozen.

Being surrounded by this group of people with loud voices and filled with anger, Qin Ruo was so dispirited that it was hard for him to even speak.

Right at this moment, some people suddenly pushed through the crowd.

Followed by some swearing, magical fluctuation rapidly rose. Then there were sounds of girls’ shouting and fighting. It seemed like there were some people already fighting nearby.

‘Uh? What happened?’

Amidst their astonishment, they all found that this combat was finished before it had even started. After a few short, horrible shrieks, Qin Ruo realized that the group of players around him was suddenly dispersed by a loud “bang”. A dozen pairsof eyes stared at the dead bodies on the ground and the three girls who had committed the murders cold-heartedly.

“Rose? Little Apple? iLittle Arrow? Why are you all here?”

Seeing appearance of the three familiar members, Qin Ruo was obviously dumbfounded. But what he did not expect was the three bodies on the ground. Seemed like their work… uh uh…

“We came to help you of course.”

Burning Rose glanced at him, annoyed. With her burning red staff, she pointed at those people around Qin Ruo and asked, “Who are these people? So arrogant!”

Qin Ruo started to break out in cold sweat.

Qin Ruo and the audience around them became speechless at the same time.

‘Who could possibly be as arrogant as you? Killing people without saying anything.’

Qin Ruo opened his mouth, about to explain, but when he saw that the players in the surrounding, all standing and staring in silence and warily looking at the three girls, he did not want to waste this rare chance and shouted at them, “Alright! Getting killed while gathering herbs in Snow Domain because of your own ineptitude. You can’t blame me. But I’m open to your revenge attempt too, on the condition that it is one person at a time! If you agree, we shall fight a duel! If I’m dead, I won’t ever look for trouble with you, but if you’re dead, my only request is that you disappear from my sight today! It’s fine too if you don’t want a duel. Once you’re out of this town and you make a move, I will fight you anytime!”

The players around instantly became the witness for his declaration and yelled, “Bravo!”

“Aquamancer, so bold! I support you!”

A group of players that liked to join in the fun would, of course, hope that this confrontation would intensify, as it was quite rare to see dozens of players taking turns fighting a duel with Tier 4 Aquamancer, particularly when it was a real person merciless PvP. Besides, what Qin Ruo said was also very pleasant to the ear—not looking for trouble after his own death and allowing them to seek revenge after their death was a proof that he dared to act and was courageous enough to take responsibility for it. Unlike some players who did not admit to it after causing harm to others.

Qin Ruo had won the support of hundreds of players with his remarks. The players who planned to take revenge naturally would not allow themselves to be at a disadvantage in the public eye.

Several people at the front nodded bitterly, “Deal!”

“I must warn you though, if you died in their hands, you must come out yourself to fight with us afterward!”

“A word spoken is an arrow released!”

Qin Ruo promised unequivocally, winning another round of applause. Among the crowd, even the few elite players like Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid could not help but laud Qin Ruo’s heroic spirit in the face of dozens of players despite his Level 40 capabilities.
