The next day, Zheng Xiaoguang went to work as usual, and Tong Xiangyang did not call her after work. This made her believe that her last blind date failed again.
She did not feel sad or pleased about that."Well, he doesn't like me. I don't care. I can go home to play games now!" she thought excitedly.
When she logged into her account, she was surprised to find out that Bluegreen-Clad had already forged her purple suit into a eight-star suit and upgraded all the Magic Stones on it from +6 to +8. She had once told him that she was willing to accept all his gifts, but she could not help but feel astonished now, as this equipment upgrade probably had cost Bluegreen-Clad tens of thousands of gold ingots.
She wondered, "Should I give the upgraded equipment back to Bluegreen-Clad? But he's a magician and can't use a doctor's equipment. Besides, if I give it back to him, he'll probably think that I'm hypocritical." She thought for a moment and then sent a Private Chat message to him.
[Private Chat] Flowing Light: [Laugh Out Loud] Hey boss, I'm strong and well-equipped now. Whenever you need my help and no matter how dangerous the situation is, you can just ask me to go with you!
Although she did not have any superb weapon, she was equipped well enough to protect herself. Besides, she was a doctor and could add blood for herself. She believed that no one could easily kill her now.
[Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: [Touch Head]
She thought that it was really a strange relationship. She and Bluegreen-Clad were strangers in real life, but in the game, he took such a good care of her and treated her as if she was his real wife. He never asked her to do anything for him in return, such as singing a song for him on YY, having a video chat with him or dating him.
After reaching level 90, she was no longer eager to gain levels for herself. She often teamed up with Bluegreen-Clad recently to venture into some dangerous places, searching for and slaying World Bosses, which were quite a lot in this game.
They were lucky today. After flying over the sand dune map for about 10 minutes, they spotted a level-85 World Boss, Banished Warlord Yellow Dog.
Yellow Dog was this World Boss' nickname, and his real name was Yellow Spring. He got this nickname because of a fighting strategy he often used, which was named "Close the Door and Unleash the Dogs". He could trap a player for six seconds and during this period of time, he would summon a group of wolf dogs to attack the player.
[Team Captain] Bluegreen-Clad: Wait here, I'll bring more people here to fight the World Boss together.
[Team] Flowing Light: Okay.
Bluegreen-Clad quickly brought his friends here. Among them, the level-98 female archer Han Meimei and level-100 male magician Li Lei were a couple. They had gained levels together with Flowing Light before in some region of level-90 monsters.
The last team member was a warrior and the main strength of the team, Son of Heaven. The moment he entered the team, he asked a strange question. "What? Our wet nurse is not Venus?"
Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought, "Looks like they often slay bosses together with Venus. And this Son of Heaven doesn't seem to like me."
[Team] Han Meimei: [Slap in the Face] Stop talking nonsense, Son of Heaven. Our gang boss' wife is a doctor. We don't need the other doctors anymore.
Zheng Xiaoguang found their conversation quite funny and thought, "Han Meimei is really a smart girl." She glanced at Bluegreen-Clad and discovered that he had changed his title from "Gang Boss of the League of Strong Families" to "Flowing Light's Husband". She thought for a moment and changed her title to "Bluegreen-Clad's Wife" without saying a word.
It was not an easy thing to slay a level-85 World Boss. They could not complete the mission while typing. As such, Bluegreen-Clad brought all his team members to his gang channel on YY where they could talk to one another freely.
"Let's get started," Bluegreen-Clad commanded.
Zheng Xiaoguang had never fought this World Boss before, so she just obeyed all the orders from Bluegreen-Clad without saying a word. As a doctor, she just needed to add blood for the other players and opened protective cover "Moonlight" for them when they needed to use some magic spells. As for the other team members, they often played together with Bluegreen-Clad and thus cooperated smoothly with one another.
When the World Boss had only 30% of his blood left, Zheng Xiaoguang warned the team, "I saw a sneaky player nearby." She did not want some other player to take this chance to slay the boss.
Li Lei said casually, "Come on, sis. Don't worry. No one dares to steal kills from your husband. Last time when someone from the Sacred Temple stole a kill from him, he hunted him down until he logged off."
"Yes, no one dares to steal kills from your husband, especially this time. If some unlucky guy does that, he or she won't be able to survive in this zone anymore," said Han Meimei. Her voice sounded sweet and crisp.
Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but exclaim secretly, "Wow, Bluegreen-Clad is fierce." The next moment, she wondered, "But what's so special about this World Boss? Can Bluegreen-Clad unlock something that he always wants by slaying it?"
According to the rules of the game, a player could not unlock anything after slaying an enemy who was 10 levels below him or her. That meant, if the team want to unlock something today, they had to let Flowing Light slay the World Boss in the end of the fight.
When the World Boss had only 1% of his blood left, Bluegreen-Clad asked the other team members to stop and then asked Flowing Light to kill the World Boss. Flowing Light felt somewhat nervous and prayed secretly, "Heaven helps me, I have to unlock something that Bluegreen-Clad wants."
Game Message: The brave Flowing Light slays Banished Warlord Yellow Spring. Golden Spring Spirit comes to the world again!
"Yes, we got it. It's a magical one," Bluegreen-Clad heaved a long sigh of relief and said on YY. With these words, he immediately picked up the golden cube on the ground.
Yellow Spring Spirit was an indispensable material in the making of a Yellow Spring golden weapon. Since the opening of this zone, it had come out for just a handful of times. It could be magical or non-magical. A magical one could be used together with some special materials to forge a Yellow Spring Sword, which was one of the most-loved equipment now. Magicians, doctors and summoners from all sects could use this sword. As for the non-magical Yellow Spring Spirit, it could be used together with different special materials to forge a Yellow Spring Dart for an assassin, a Yellow Spring Staff for a warrior or a Yellow Spring Bow for an archer. These golden weapon were also rare in this zone.
"So this is what Bluegreen-Clad wants. I'm really lucky," thought Zheng Xiaoguang. When she was about to say congratulations to him, someone said congratulations to her.
"Congratulations, Flowing Light!" Han Meimei said smilingly, "Our gang boss really adores you. He asked us to come here specially to unlock this Yellow Spring Spirit for you. And you're really lucky today, you unlock it at the first try."
"What? Bluegreen-Clad plans to give it to me?" Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised.
"My wife is such a nice person. No wonder she's so lucky. Honey, I'll forge an eight-star Yellow Spring Sword for you," said Bluegreen-Clad.
Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiaoguang finally thought of a joke that she had come across on the Internet before.
"In the living room, a young man asked his girlfriend what she was playing, and then he was surprised to find out that she was about to get married in the game. His girlfriend wanted him to agree to this virtual marriage, but he refused and accused his girlfriend of being so stupid to take a game seriously。
"His girlfriend flared up and retorted that he should not belittle her feelings and that the male player's feelings for her were also true. She said, 'Every time when I was about to be slain by a monster, he would come to my rescue in time but you would just sleep soundly beside me. He has spent 8,000,000 buying equipment for me in the game, but you even refuse to spend 800 yuan buying me some clothes!'"
Most people never took the virtual world on the Internet seriously and often mocked those who were addicted to online games, but Zheng Xiaoguang firmly believed that one could definitely tell who treated him or her well in the virtual world. Although the virtual world was different from the real world and the equipment in a game was nothing but some data, this equipment could still be sold for real money. Besides, 8,000,000 in a game was not necessarily less than 800 yuan in the real world.
Furthermore, this was not just about the money. Zheng Xiaoguang knew that people differed in income and wealth, but she believed that if a guy was willing to give you the best he could offer, he definitely adored you.
She thought this rule applied to both the real and the virtual worlds.
