Part 8: Passing by

Wei Wei quickly puts those three LittleRain clan members to the back of her mind after returning to the area where she was collecting herbal ingredients.  But there’s one particular thing that she’s curious about, so she asks NaiHe while collecting: “How did you know that he was on a continuous quest?”

“I went online once in the afternoon and saw him posting on the world channel asking for seven kinds of feathers.”

NaiHe explains further for Wei Wei to understand.  NaiHe saw EvilBloodOath posting on the world channel asking for seven kinds of feathers in order to pass a stage in a quest.  Therefore, NaiHe knew that EvilBloodOath was on a continuous quest.

Wei Wei is a bit puzzled; how do finding seven kinds of feathers mean that he’s on a continuous quest?

“There are quite a few quests that require collecting feathers.”

NaiHe: “Mm, but the NPCs (Non-player characters) are different for each of the quests.  Collecting feathers is on the 36th stage.  I went to the NPC at the 36th stage, and he showed up soon after.”

Other than worshipping him, Wei Wei has no other thoughts.  He, he, he actually remembers which stage it was!  He actually remembers the NPCs of the different stages!  His memory is unbelievably amazing!  Knowing that she is still only up to the letter “p” in memorizing her English vocabularies, Wei Wei feels like crying; she praises him bitterly: “Your memory is too good.”

She suddenly realizes that the Great Master didn’t capture EvilBloodOath when he saw him in the afternoon; he estimated the time needed and purposely waited until night time on Celestial Mountains Snow Basins……

His calculative skills and scheming skills are just shocking……vicious >_< Read more

Part 7: LittleRain Clan

Thinking about this quest’s miserable experience, Wei Wei is a bit sympathetic towards him. But while she might be sympathetic, this person’s speech is, honestly, detestable. Whatever, let me slash him a couple more times first. In any case, this is done by the computer automatically; her hand will not be sore.

Thus, Wei Wei goes to steep tea and drink water. She chats a few lines with NaiHe, but it seems like NaiHe is also doing something else. His replies are not very fast. Wei Wei simply bows her head and starts working on problems.

After doing a page of reading, she lifts her head and sees that there are three more female players by the Celestial Mountains Snow Basins. Their IDs are LittleRainQingQing (LittleRainForeverYoung), LittleRainFeiFei (LittleRainSnowfall), LittleRainMianMian (ContinuousLittleRain.)

LittleRain clan?

Why are they here?

LittleRainQingQing is currently saying: “Hey, why are you ignoring us?”

Part 6: Wei Wei The Follower

Although they’re now married, this is how Wei Wei thinks of their relationship.

The Great Master and his follower.

= =

Of course, NaiHe is the Great Master while she is the follower who rushes to the front when monsters appear and runs all kinds of errands……As to why Wei Wei feels this way, it is without a doubt due to that set of divine items.

After all, she can’t just accept free items from somebody without giving back >o<.  Therefore, Wei Wei decides to work hard to pay him back the debt!

 

Not much has changed after getting married; Wei Wei still spends most of her time with YuGong and the others to complete quests to level up.  She and NaiHe only leave the team once in a while to have some time together as a couple.

And spending time together as a couple actually just means completing couple quests.

In “Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes,” after a male and female player get married, they will gain three couple abilities.  If they attack together, these three abilities will automatically boost their impact.  Levelling up these three abilities will depend on the couple’s intimacy level.  In order to increase their intimacy level, other than wasting time in the bedroom, the most efficient way is to complete couple quests.

 

Male and female players can actually get married after reaching level 30, so for Wei Wei and ASmileNaiHe who married late, the beginning quests for couples are simply a piece of cake.  The battles are so easy that Great Master NaiHe doesn’t even have to fight; Wei Wei can handle them all by herself.

As a result, the most common image is the heroine in red slashing her saber in the front, while the white robed musician sits under a tree by the riverside playing his guqin poetically.

……

No matter what you say, the imagery is very beautiful and makes others envious.

Part 5: The wedding

The Computer Science Department’s team wins the game in the end and proceeds to the semifinals.  The Computer Science department students cheer in victory, but Xiao Nai never shows up in the end, so the girls feel rather upset.

Wei Wei dashes back to her dorm room right after, logs into the game, and sees that ASmileNaiHe’s (WhyNotJustSmile) avatar is already lit up in her friends list.  Wei Wei sends him a message: “Sorry, I’m late.”

ASmileNaiHe: “No problem. Come to Yue Lao’s temple” (God of marriage and love)

Wei Wei rides a horse to Yue Lao’s temple, but she is shocked by the big crowd of people in front.  Thankfully, there isn’t as many people once she goes inside; only a few are standing and chatting to each other.

Wei Wei walks up to ASmileNaiHe: “How come there are so many people?”  Wei Wei didn’t call any of her friends to come because she didn’t take this wedding seriously, as well as feeling a little embarrassed to tell others that she is getting married again so soon.

ASmileNaiHe says: “You ask them.”

Wei Wei looks at the others, and one of them called, TimelyRain, says: “Heh heh, congrats, congrats.  I told everyone who has nothing to do in our guild to come.  It’ll probably be a grand sight when they all ride their horses and follow behind the marriage sedan in a bit.”

Another one says: “People from our guild also came.”

TimelyRain says: “Everyone is waiting for NaiHe’s red pockets, hahahaha.”

Wei Wei feels extremely embarrassed.  There are probably a couple hundred of people outside.  Hopefully, NaiHe doesn’t go bankrupt after giving out red envelopes to everybody.

Just at this moment, Wei Wei receives a trading request from ASmileNaiHe; a couple of equipment items are on the list.  There isn’t any need to review them in detail; just from their glow, she knows that they are all divine level items.  Wei Wei asks in surprise, “This is?”

ASmileNaiHe says simply: “Betrothal gifts.”

Is…Is this how it feels like when you hook up with a sugar daddy?

This is….This is truly, truly, truly fantastic!

Part 4: Eve of the wedding

Since the decision to get married is already made, then everyone is considered to be acquaintances.

Sigh, this sentence’s logic seems a bit weird…

Thus, during the following two days Wei Wei goes along with ASmileNaiHe and even joins ASmileNaiHe’s regular party. NaiHe’s party also consists of all masters. A couple of them have PKed with Wei Wei before, but she only knows them by their IDs anyway.

 

The first time Wei Wei meets up with them is like this.

MonkeyWine: “Hoho, new person.”

YuGongClimbsAMountain: “NaiHe, who is this girl?”

ASmileNaiHe: “My fiancee.”

He says it quite naturally. Wei Wei becomes speechless for a bit, and then types out a smiley face: “Hi, everyone ^_^”

MoZhaHim (Don’tHitHim): “Wow, third sister-in-law.”

YuGongClimbsAMountain: “Bull, the ten thousand year bachelor is also going to get married.”

Everyone starts talking at once, teasing them and congratulating them. Suddenly, someone says: “Third sister-in-law’s ID is a bit familiar.”

“Now that you say it, I also think so. Is third sister-in-law on the leaderboards?

Frank and outspoken, MonkeyWine says: “I remember now. Isn’t ReedWeiWei, RealWaterIsScentless’ ex-wife?”

The party immediately becomes quiet and the atmosphere became a bit odd. Just as Wei Wei is about to say that they are getting married because of the PK competition, she sees NaiHe, very flatly type out a line: “Mmm, your third sister-in-law actually married the wrong person before. Don’t discriminate against her, everyone.”

Wei Wei is choked by her potato chip.

Since then, Wei Wei is aware of one thing — when battling monsters or doing quests with brother NaiHe, never, ever, eat snacks or drink water. Otherwise, as soon as he says something astonishing, it’s either her being choked or the monitor being sprayed. Read more

Part 3: Receives a marriage proposal

Wei Wei has no way out of this dilemma. To run away and escape isn’t very heroine like. Standing there seems very much like a bandit. Thus, Wei Wei makes a quick-witted decision. She pulls up her clothes and sits down.

When characters sit down in “Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes,” they can rest, they can meditate to built up their inner powers, and another kind is like what Wei Wei is doing right now — sit down to set up a vendor stall for selling items.

When Wei Wei types out the stall name, “Medicine Convenience Store”, all the players around her cannot help but be speechless. Wei Wei quickly types out a ‘yell’: “Come and see, take a look, fresh out of the oven medicine made by a max level healer, selling it cheap at 20% off!”

Once this sentence comes out, all the players originally waiting to see the excitement, suddenly become fervent.

It must be a joke, there are no system bot run medicine stores that sell medicine made by max level healers, and only once in awhile can you get a drop from a monster. They are priceless valuables. Even though there are quite a few max level healers, they only serve their own guild. Very few ever bring out their own medicine to sell. Unexpectedly, there is cheap max level medicine being sold right now! The players on Vermillion Bird Bridge become excited and, immediately, rush up. In a blink of an eye, they drown out the heroine in red’s small figure.

 

The marriage sedan comes and the marriage sedan quickly leaves. For some reason, the marriage sedan that has been slowly proceeding the entire time, suddenly speeds up as it reaches Vermillion Bird Bridge. In a flash, it disappears at the other end of the bridge.

In the scramble for them, Wei Wei’s medicine is also sold out in a flash. Seeing there is no more excitement to see, the players scattered one after another. The lively Vermillion Bird Bridge that few people normally come to unless there is a wedding regains its loneliness.

Wei Wei closes her shop and stands up. She is just about to leave when she sees someone at the end of the bridge calling her.

“ReedWeiWei (HumbleReed).” Read more
