Chapter 244: Bad News—Good News

Chapter 244 Bad News—Good News

Translator: ASB | Editor: _Lunaelle /EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Ruo who was hiding in the forest near Killer Bee Valley was relieved when he heard of the news that Xiaoxiao was rescued safely.

But at the same time, Violet Orchid had also brought him unexpected news that she had successfully tricked Xiaoxiao into joining Bauhinia Clan and had acknowledged her as her little sister. Moreover, she was planning to bring Xiaoxiao together tonight to Aricus Ruins to raise her level.

Qin Ruo quickly realized that since Xiaoxiao joined Bauhinia Clan would also mean that she was now a member of the League and if situations like today happened again, Ron and his mistress and Grieving Arrow would think twice before they do anything to Xiaoxiao again. Violet Orchid’s arrangement was able to solve most of his problems as he felt a burden was lifted. He immediately thanked her sincerely for her help.

“Sister Orchid, what you did today, I would like to…”

“Its fine, since you call me sister already, stop being so cheesy.”

Violet Orchid had stopped Qin Ruo from saying “thank you” and advised him.

“Today’s matter has been solved, but you should still be careful. Although Holy Clan won’t be taking any actions against you for the moment, the equipment that you took from Ron and his mistress are extremely valuable. They definitely still hold a grudge against you and will not let this go. Especially with your current red status right now where there is a large chance that your equipment will drop. So you should be extra careful and keep your guard up at the moment!”

Qin Ruo was stunned after he found out from Violet Orchid that Homme Fatale was also at the scene today. With his Supreme Master prowess, he had easily killed tens of their members. If this was not enough to intimidate Holy Clan from doing anything further, then the Clan lacked the ability to tell what was good or bad for themselves. Nevertheless, Qin Ruo understood that Homme Fatale giving a hand today meant that he had done him a great favor. However this favor of his seems to be too big that he was unsure how he could repay it.

After discussing with Violet Orchid for a while the latter could not help but rolled her eyes at Qin Ruo.

“Alright, you are just like Slayer’s Heart, so foolishly sentimental. Right now you should just bother about your own self, since you are still wanted for forty-two hours, you have to stay in the game for a whole forty-two hours to clear your red name. And in another forty-eight hours is the time that Graveyard of the Gods is going to open, you can possibly think of going in there in your current status?”

After being reminded by Violet Orchid, Qin Ruo suddenly realized about this fact.

‘Oh damn!

‘How could I have forgotten something so important?

‘A total of forty-two hours, if according to my usual online hours, I could only stay online for at most ten hours a day. This means it’s a total four days that I would take, damn, this means that the event of Graveyard of the Gods would have already passed by two days. What could I even accomplish in just one days’ time?’

Qin Ruo was at a loss of what to do.

Since the system notification was given, Qin Ruo had spent a lot of time thinking about the possible situation he could encounter. A different kind of Mythical Battlefield where the Angel and Demon Faction fight to the death. Should he use Mana Drain and Aquamorph to hunt the Demon Faction players or should he try to earn rewards by hunting the Boss monsters in the Graveyard of the Gods and completing the quests given?

He had even given thought about many other things such as the mysterious Divinity that could let Tier 5 players grow a pair of wings (After Tier 6 only does Divinity unleash its full capabilities and improves the relevant attributes), more variety of Herbs and the great rewards he could gain.

But now that he realized that it was all now just a dream for him. In only one day’s time, there was no way he could earn many rewards from this event!

‘Screw Ron and his mistress.’

Qin Ruo could only clench his fist in anger whenever he thought about them.

Qin Ruo’s short moment silence made Violet Orchid realize the predicament that Qin Ruo was in as she tried to console him.

“Are you worried that you cannot enter the Graveyard of the Gods? Its fine, cheer up, this is just a small problem. You don’t have to be so gloomy about it. I know several ways that you could quickly clear your current status.”

“Really!”

What Violet Orchid had said was a glimmer of hope in the darkness which lightened Qin Ruo’s depressed state as he eagerly asked, “What kind of way are there? What should I do?”

“First of all, you can give up going to the Mythical Battlefield. It would be too dangerous since reaching the Mythical Battlefield from Bailey Town would mean that you have to pass through multiple towns, which is too risky. There is another way which is killing more monsters. Although the Infamy Points reduced is negligible, but you could see the effects after a longer period of time. There is also another way but it would be too difficult for you to accomplish,” said Violet Orchid.

Qin Ruo was anxious to know.

“What is it?”

He understood that the possibility of going to Mythical Battlefield was close to zero, which meant that method was excluded. As for killing monsters it would seem too futile clearing weak monsters but if it was Tier 4 monsters, he would risk being discovered by the other players and he would have to stop hunting immediately which is a hassle and unsuitable for him currently. Now he could only put his hope on the last method that Violet Orchid had.

“My clan had spent a considerable effort to research about it and found out that every time you kill a Boss monster, your Wanted time is reduced significantly which is equivalent to clearing a group of monsters. But according to the Boss monster’s level and attributes, the time reduced is different, usually it would be at least a few minutes, the maximum time reduced would be thirty minutes.”

Violet Orchid’s information made Qin Ruo see a glimmer of hope.

But Qin Ruo quickly realized the difficulty that Violet Orchid mentioned about! It really was not easy to accomplish…

First of all, he would have to consider that Boss monsters do not commonly spawn, the respawn time of the Boss monsters, and if there are any other players around at the time. All these factors taken into consideration would make this method even harder and more dangerous than the second method!

Qin Ruo was totally bummed out.

Violet Orchid understand the difficulty of this method more than Qin Ruo and after pausing for a moment she asked, “Ruo Ruo, have the bandits from the Holy Clan fully retreated yet?”

“I have no idea,” Qin Ruo replied half-heartedly. Although several minutes have passed and not a single bandit has entered the range of his Water Veil, but he could not be sure that no one else was staying nearby on the lookout for him.

“Hmm, how about this?”

After pausing for a moment, Violet Orchid gave him a suggestion.

“Since you don’t have many MP Potions right now, find a place where there is an abundance of Water Elements first. It would be best if it is a place where there is no one around and kill some small creeps first at the moment or it will be troublesome if you had finished all your MP Potions.”

“When the sun has fully set, you will also be less conspicuous.”

Qin Ruo realized what she meant that nighttime was not bad timing to kill monsters since most players would have to use Illuminating Crystals which would make them easy to avoid. Furthermore, the Boss monsters that appear at night were not any less compared to morning as he could even get the chance to meet one or two.

‘Alright, this should work!’

Qin Ruo immediately begin to take action.

Under Violet Orchid’s guidance, he quickly familiarized himself with the terrain nearby Killer Bee Valley and found two locations that fulfilled the requirement of being abundant with Water Elements.

One of it was the Goblin Mountains.

The mines under the mountains usually had high humidity, and the abundance of Water Elements there is sufficient for the Elemental Perception: Water to activate. Furthermore, the mines were spread throughout the mountains. Some of the caves were rarely visited which would make a decent hiding spot. The only flaw was the level of monsters there Were too low, which would make staying there just a place to pass time.

Once Qin Ruo thought that if he had to spend forty-two hours together with Tier 1 and Tier 2 Goblins, he would definitely go mad!

The second location however was slightly better which was an area filled with Tier 3 and 4 monsters mixed together. But it was usually filled with players who want to go leveling which made going there in the morning suicidal. At night on the other hand would be much better, as long as he was careful enough when he kills the monsters he should be able to keep himself out of trouble.

***

Darkness had fallen.

Slayer’s Heart was finally online and he brought good news for Qin Ruo who was spending his time increasing his Mastery Points with Goblins in a secluded area in the goblin mines.

The rules and regulations of the Graveyard of the Gods event did not state that players in the red would be denied entry.

This would be like entering a hidden map with a red name, since entry tickets could be used anywhere in the game, red name players could also enter Graveyard of the Gods from anywhere outside.

The only problem is the great risk of doing so!

A red-tagged player would not only have to be on the lookout for Demon Faction players but also Angel Faction players at the same time. Who wouldn’t want to target someone who was fully equipped with Gold equipment like a Miniboss?

Furthermore, if you were killed in the Graveyard of the Gods, you would be immediately sent to the Underwater Prison in Sin City.

This on the other hand was news considered to be good enough for Qin Ruo. Since as long as he was careful when he entered and immediately activated Aquamorph, he should be safe from any dangers. Since they were randomly dispatched in the map, the possibility of meeting a champion who has a high Elemental Perception would be harder than winning a lottery ticket!

The best part of it was if he met any opposite faction players, killing them would considerably reduce his Infamy Points and Wanted duration. If he was lucky, killing opposite faction players with Honor Points would immediately reduce three hours of his Wanted duration.

It could even be possible that Qin Ruo could clear his Wanted status on his first day in the Graveyard of the Gods! This would be much faster than clearing monster and Boss monster to reduce his Wanted duration! And also much safer!

With the good news that Slayer’s Heart had brought, Qin Ruo could finally be at ease as he continued to raise his mastery points for skills that had not reached Master Rank yet.
