Chapter 1 Game

Gu Yue Village.

Chen Manor, guest room.

The warm setting sun cast its rays on the face of a young man.

Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes.

"The sun hasn't set yet?"

Fang Yue was a little depressed. If the sun hadn't set, it didn't count as nightfall.

He got out of bed and tried to move his body.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that although the attribute bar still showed him as heavily injured, his body was free to move.

It was just that he couldn't exert himself, nor could he make large movements. Like a sick man, he could only move slowly, otherwise a blood-loss warning would immediately pop up on his head.

Even so, Fang Yue was very happy. He didn't have to lie in the room like a paralyzed patient.

Checking his condition, Fang Yue found that many people on his friend list had sent a lot of messages.

Shiwuliao: "Night bro, I heard you were seriously injured. I brought people to visit you, but Captain Chen stopped me. Are you okay?"

Niu Niu: "Night bro, did the villagers screw you over? Give me a name, and when my divine skill is complete, I'll deal with him!"

Tactical Breathing Fox: "Night bro, I didn't spread the news that you were crippled, just that you were seriously injured. By the way, is that meridian disorder really incurable?"

Others had also sent many messages of concern.

These messages were all sent shortly after he logged off.

Scrolling down further, to about two or three hours earlier.

Some people sent another message.

"Night bro, not online yet? Is there any way to get yangshou (lifespan)? Waiting online, it's urgent!"

"Pro gamer, I want to buy yangshou, do you have any for sale?"

"I'm buying yangshou at a high price, or a way to get yangshou, Night bro, any ideas?"

Obviously, the players he had brought into the village were also starting to worry about the problem of yangshou.

Yangshou was like a countdown to character death, making these players anxious as ants on a hot pot.

But Fang Yue was not online at the time, so he didn't reply, and no more messages were sent.

Only Shiwuliao, half an hour ago, suddenly sent another message.

"Night bro, contact me immediately when you see this message! I have a business deal to discuss with you!"

Business?

Fang Yue sent a message in doubt, and Shiwuliao immediately replied in surprise.

"Night bro, you're finally online!"

"Yeah, what's the business you mentioned?"

"It's like this, Niu Niu and some other players have teamed up to take on a mission from the patrol team..."

Fang Yue looked at the message sent by Shiwuliao and quickly understood what they meant. kanδん

The players in Gu Yue Village were being tormented by their dwindling yangshou and had reached a dead end.

They learned from Niu Niu, a prospective member of the patrol team, that taking on missions from the patrol team would earn them yangshou rewards, so they teamed up to take on missions.

At first, Niu Niu wanted to take on the mission alone, but considering the safety issue, he pulled in Shiwuliao, who then pulled in others.

The news inevitably spread, and it became the situation where five people were taking on the mission together.

But Shiwuliao still felt unreliable, so he thought of Fang Yue, the professional player, and wanted to invite him to oversee things.

A professional player who had achieved first kill on a strange creature could definitely handle this kind of small matter.

"A fixed price of 50,000 yuan! The patrol team is 6 people per team, and we 5 will each pay 10,000 yuan to hire Night bro to protect our safety and successfully complete the patrol mission! If we encounter a strange creature, and you can handle it, I am willing to buy the right to the final kill at a price of 1 strange creature/10,000 yuan!"

Looking at the price they offered, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

The problem was that Fang Yue himself had become a cripple, so how could he protect their safety?

"It's not that I don't want to take the job, it's that I'm seriously injured now, my combat power has declined, and I can't guarantee your safety, so I'm sorry."

"Night bro, is the injury that serious... Then when will you recover?"

"Not sure, maybe the injury will recover tonight, maybe it will never recover."

Shiwuliao was speechless when he heard this.

One was that it would recover in one night, and the other was that it might never recover.

That's a big difference.

"If it recovers tonight, what time roughly?"

"Not sure, maybe it will recover just after nightfall, or maybe it will recover just before dawn."

Fang Yue told the truth.

This time, Shiwuliao didn't reply.

Just when Fang Yue thought he had given up, the message suddenly came.

"Night bro, like this, we've decided to lower the price to a reward of 5,000 yuan, plus 50 qian (coins), to invite you to join the team to protect our safety. Don't rush to refuse, at this price, we don't require you to be at your peak, just be willing to join our temporarily formed patrol team to protect our safety."

Was there really such a good thing?

Fang Yue felt a little uneasy, it seemed too easy to earn this money.

"Night bro, don't be silent, we can pay first! You're a professional player, you can't not accept a job."

They could pay first?

"I'll take this job!"

Fang Yue replied instantly, then comforted himself in his heart.

"You have to believe in Night's Breath, this is a Human-rank talent, there's definitely no problem."

Shiwuliao was overjoyed when he saw the message and quickly sent the location, telling Fang Yue to hurry over.

Fang Yue didn't hesitate, he pushed open the door and was about to go out.

Creak.

As soon as the door opened, there was a scream from the door, followed by a bang, the sound of a ceramic cup falling and breaking.

Fang Yue looked down and saw a well-dressed middle-aged woman lying on the ground, looking at him in astonishment.

"Madam!"

"Madam!"

Behind the middle-aged woman, two maids panicked and hurried forward to help her up.

Madam?

Wasn't that Captain Chen's wife?

"Madam Chen, are you alright?"

Fang Yue asked with concern.

Madam Chen had regained her senses at this time, and smiled gently.

"I'm fine, but Young Master Ye, your injuries haven't healed yet, where are you going?"

"I feel much better, so I won't disturb you in the manor any longer."

"But Doctor Hong said..."

"Madam Chen, I really feel much better, we martial artists recover from injuries quickly."

"Alright then, I can't stop you either. I'll talk to my husband when he comes back."

"Then thank you, Madam Chen."

Fang Yue thanked her, then passed by Madam Chen and walked outside.

The two maids glared at Fang Yue's back.

"Ungrateful, the madam specially brought medicine, and he, a drifter, has this attitude."

"That's right, not knowing a good heart! A wolf in sheep's clothing!"

Madam Chen shook her head and said nothing.

She had no particular emotions about Fang Yue's recklessness, it was just that her husband had shown much concern for Fang Yue.

She was curious and personally brought the medicinal soup to see him.

Now that she had seen him, he was just an ordinary person.

Madam Chen bent down in front of the broken cup and reached out her fair right hand, spreading her fingers to grab the shards on the ground, preparing to clean them up.
