Online Game: Don’t Heal the Others

In the workshop, Master Di was matching the names on the list to the materials brought by Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng had him list it out because it would be a waste of time if he did the tasks one by one. With Master Di Wuya watching, and with Xiaofeng’s position as the Archbishop, Master Di agreed to that request.

“Not bad! You’ve got all we need here! Now we can start the refining earlier! You’ve impressed me, young man.”

Master Di was very satisfied. He watched and admired Xiaofeng; at the same time, Xiaofeng received the system prompt that Master Di’s favorability points toward Xiaofeng had increased by 10 points, and now was at the amity level.

“Now that we can start the refining, I’ll be available now. I’ll forge the special equipment for you, Mr. Archbishop.” Master Di Wuya touched his beard and laughed. He knew that was why Xiaofeng had been waiting for him here.

“All right, tell me, young man. What do you want me to forge? I’ll help you. With Di Wuya working with me, everything would be quick and easy, as long as you’re not expecting an artifact.”

“I need spatial equipment, in which I could store things.” Xiaofeng took the Space Stones out. Master Di still hadn’t paid him for the serial task, and this might be the chance he was waiting for.

“While you have a lot of Space Stones, all of them are of low purity. They could, at best, be forged into just one immortal piece of equipment,” said the frowning Master Di, with eyes on the Space Stones in Xiaofeng’s hands.

“That will be enough for me,” said Xiaofeng. Obviously, he wasn’t much of a greedy guy.

“Well, what kind of equipment do you want me to forge? Belts, or accessories (ACC)?” Master Di Wuya asked.

“Can you do a ring for me?” asked Xiaofeng upon hearing that. Among all equipment parts, rings were the rarest ones.

Moreover, he was aiming for the Dragon Suit, an artifact. The suit would have a belt, so he didn’t want that part occupied.

“You want a ring? That’s fine, but that will only cost you 50 Space Stones. You can have the rest back.” Master Di took 50 Space Stones and gave the rest to Xiaofeng.

“Spatial equipment is rarely seen and difficult to forge. You’ve got the major materials but you still need a Void Crystal. It’s the core to merge the spatial power,” Master Di Wuya added.

“That won’t be a problem because I happen to have a Void Crystal. I’ll give it to the kid as a gift,” Master Di said.

“What? Isn’t that Void Crystal one of your most cherished treasures? Why are you giving it to someone else?” Master Di Wuya asked with surprise.

“Just take it as a reward for having helped me so much. No matter how much the material is cherished, it’s just a piece of junk if it won’t be put to use,” said Master Di, looking a little reluctant to give it to somebody else.

At the same time, Xiaofeng had received a system prompt that should’ve arrived long ago, saying that the system reward had arrived.

“Hey! You have successfully completed the task given by Master Di. A piece of Void Crystal will be given as the reward.”

However, the Void Crystal didn’t go directly into Xiaofeng’s backpack. It was still in Master Di’s hand. Although Xiaofeng had no idea what a Void Crystal was, he could tell by the conversation between Master Di and Master Di Wuya that it had to be something nice.

“In that case, Mr. Archbishop, we will start the forging now. It will take us a while, so please come back to us at the same time tomorrow.” Master Di Wuya’s words were a little disappointing to Xiaofeng because he would then miss the all-server event tonight.

“Wait, young man, do you want to learn forging skills from me?” asked Master Di. He stopped Xiaofeng just before he left.

“Forging? Not really.”

Xiaofeng shook his head without much hesitation. Forging was a life skill, too, but few players could be forging masters because practicing forging cost a lot.

Forging was making equipment by using collected monster fur or rare minerals, but usually, the learners could only make equipment without any extra points when their skill level was low. Even ordinary players wouldn’t buy that; therefore, they could only be sold to the system store. Unfortunately, the materials always cost a big fortune, so the investment and return were not proportional. It was hard to improve proficiency without huge financial support.

“Hey, young man. You’re so ungrateful. Everybody on the Land of God knows my name, Dilu. Do you really think my forging skills are the same as the ordinary ones?” Master Di was so angry as he glared at Xiaofeng.

“Still no.” Xiaofeng didn’t care how great his forging skill was because he had no interest in life skills and professions at all.

Xiaofeng had no interest in those life skills except for the Scouting skill, which could help him in fights. Other life skills cost both a lot of time and money.

“You’ve pissed me off, young man. Now get out of here! What an ungrateful brat!” Master Di turned back into the man that Xiaofeng had met the first time, an unfriendly man with a strange temper.

Xiaofeng didn’t stay there for long and he went straight back to Tianlong City. He had spent so long in the Blackrock that Midsummer’s encampment defensive war had almost started. Liu Qiangwei had texted him many times, maybe because she was worried that he wasn’t there.

Liu Qiangwei decided that the camp of the guild this time would be on the Vast Plain. The site was near the old one that had been destroyed. When Xiaofeng arrived, the war was going on like chaotic tides and waves. He checked the level of the waves of monsters. 25th level. Judging by that, they had gone through half of the monster waves.

It seemed that the vast expanse of the monster tide was going to drown the whole campus site of Midsummer. The whole site was being sieged. Roars and screams echoed to the clouds and woke the dead.

Midsummer was still crowded with people. They had formed four human walls, firmly protecting the rudimentary guild encampment behind.

Although the members were still many, it was easy to see that the scale looked much smaller than days ago.

Without the priest’s BUFFs, the 25-level monster wave was hard to eliminate quickly; therefore, the war now became a tug-of-war. They were resisting the monsters with the huge crowd, waiting for the attacking time to come to end, and then the monster waves would retreat by themselves.

The disadvantage of Midsummer was now exposed. In the encampment defensive war days ago, they had gotten enough members and could resist the last few waves before they entered the passive defense stage, but now, the 25-level monster wave was already tormenting them.

Xiaofeng wasn’t a member of the guild, so he couldn’t enter the encampment through the temporary Transmission Formation. He wanted to approach the camp from the outside, but he gave up that idea after he saw the endless monster and human waves. So he called Liu Qiangwei.

“Did you arrive? Where are you?”

It was unusual for Liu Qiangwei to change her intangible tone. It seemed that she had been waiting for Xiaofeng for long and finally she felt a release.

“I am out of the monster wave now, looking for other guilds nearby,” Xiaofeng answered. He was wondering if there were other guilds that were going to loot the burning battlefield.

“Not necessary. Xiaojing had already looked for it. Other guilds were trying to stay out of this. On one hand, they were too busy farming to get the treasure token; on the other hand, that’s partly because of you,” Liu Qiangwei said with a light expression.

“Well, then I will go inside the encampment.” Xiaofeng nodded and he knew why that was partly because of him. After Midsummer failed in the first encampment defensive war, all the guilds in the Huaxia District knew about the hostility between Master Healer and Midsummer. They had heard that Midsummer had established the new camp, but none of them seemed to care about it because they were all waiting for the Master Healer to make a big splash and destroy the camp once again.

Whether they came or not wouldn’t make any difference; moreover, they needed to take their time to farm and get more tokens so that they could win more places for the guild. In that war, few guilds cared about the second encampment defensive war of Midsummer anymore.

“Where are you now? I’ll have Xiaojing pick you up,” Liu Qiangwei said and hung up the phone after she heard where Xiaofeng was.

“I thought you were kidding.”

After a while, Si Yejing exposed herself from stealth and looked at Xiaofeng with excitement.

“Why ask? Am I not welcome?” Xiaofeng asked casually.

“No, not at all. Just come with me. My cousin’s been waiting for you,” said Si Yejing as she shook her head. Then she led Xiaofeng to the direction of the guild encampment of Midsummer.

Xiaofeng arrived at the camp safe and sound right before the point when the monster wave ended, and the monsters went back to the refresh point. The camp was still simple and crude, no better than the one like a town Xiaofeng had seen last time. This one looked like a village, and that might have been because Midsummer still had the system reward from last time.

“How’s it going?” asked Xiaofeng. He was on the second floor of the encampment. And that was the highest place in the site with the widest view. He met Liu Qiangwei there.

There were only Liu Qiangwei and Midsummer Lily on the second floor. Other supervisors of the guild had existed. And that was mainly because Xiaofeng might be recognized by them no matter how he was disguised. That would cause lots of troubles then, like two enemies meeting together. Xiaofeng had really left a deep impression on those senior managers of the guild, including the president and the vice president. They hated his guts.

“That can’t be good. That was only the 30th wave and we’re already feeling labored. Any good ideas?” Liu Weiwei shook her head and asked Xiaofeng.

“What ideas could he possibly have? No matter how powerful he is, there’s no chance that he could resist thousands of monsters on his own.” Midsummer Lily was murmuring. She still held resentment for Xiaofeng.

“No more useless talking!” Liu Qiangwei said and stared at Midsummer Lily, frowning.

She had made lots of efforts inviting Xiaofeng here. She was afraid that he would leave in anger. She started the encampment defensive war only because she trusted Xiaofeng. Now that Midsummer wasn’t defending well, Xiaofeng was the only one they could count on.

“Well… how about we evacuate half of the men on the east and west side, and send them to help those on the south and north side?”

Xiaofeng suggested after he had seen what was going on in the plains. It was the 30th wave now, and there would be another 6 waves, let alone the BOSS. For the members of the Midsummer Guild, it was more than a difficult danger now; they were facing high risks. If they failed to defend any side of the camp, the loophole would end up breaking down the whole formation.

“Reinforce the number of people in the south and the north. That would surely ease the pressure of both sides, but wouldn’t the east and west side be too weak then?”

Liu Qiangwei was hesitating and Si Yejing was surprised. Midsummer Lily stared at Xiaofeng. She remained silent after Liu Qiangwei’s warning, but her suspicious eyes were saying that she was eager to ask if Xiaofeng was here to set them up.
