Chapter 5 Chapter 5 “My friends and I are just like you…

When Qin Lang woke up, he felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest.

He opened his eyes and saw Xia Xifeng lying on his chest, staring at him. Seeing that he woke up, he put his bound hands in front of him.

"Are you going too far?" Xia Xifeng accused.

Qin Lang lifted up the childhood sweetheart who wanted to crush him, and said with a bit of anger: "Your ADHD from childhood has not been cured yet. As soon as you fall asleep, you have to lie down and do boxing. After all these years, you don't reflect on it? I think you will be single for the rest of your life."

Xia Xifeng put his hands together, shook off the noose, and muttered, "It's not like I move around all the time when I sleep. You talk too much nonsense."

Only then did he remember his bad habit. It had been so long since he had slept in the same bed with anyone that he had forgotten about it.

"But even so, tying me up is too much. Can't you just wake me up? Or give me a new quilt... Hey! Don't play deaf!"

Xia Xifeng chased after Qin Lang and kept nagging him, and pushed Qin Lang out of the bathroom door while he was washing up.

"Change clothes. Go out and kill monsters to level up."

Qin Lang slammed the door shut, almost hitting Xia Xifeng's nose, which made Xia Xifeng so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Xia Xifeng would rather Qin Lang quarrel with him than like Qin Lang's reaction of "I'll let you say whatever you want, and I lose if you don't respond."

This is cold violence! Cold violence!

If it were in the past, Xia Xifeng would not bother to pay attention to Qin Lang, as he had plenty of friends to chat with.

Now there are only him and Qin Lang left in this world. Qin Lang doesn't talk to him, and he feels uncomfortable.

Ahh ...

Xia Xifeng rubbed his hair frantically, sighed heavily, and went to change his clothes embarrassedly.

When the two left the room and went to have breakfast, Xia Xifeng was still dejected.

Leo whispered to Xia Xifeng, "Did you have a fight with Lang?"

Xia Xifeng said dejectedly, "How did you tell that? I'd rather he quarreled with me."

Leo asked, "You're going to argue with him, and he's ignoring you?"

Xia Xifeng was curious: "Can you tell this?"

Leo sighed, "My friend and I do the same. I'll introduce you to them later."

As soon as he saw Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang getting along, he felt very familiar and was convinced that they had a deep bond.

Halflings are very intuitive.

If it weren't for the familiarity that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang gave Leo when they were together, he wouldn't have immediately given the sunflower pendant to the two of them.

At least, we still need to observe it for a few more days?

Qin Lang heard the two people whispering and pretended not to hear.

His response made Leo feel more familiar.

After they finished breakfast, Leo immediately took Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang to meet his good friend.

Coincidentally, Leo and that person had been friends since childhood. However, that person didn't acknowledge their friendship and only thought Leo was annoying.

"Isn't Lang going to the forest to hunt? He just changed his job to a warlock, and we just happen to be short of a ranged warrior." Leo polished the two dwarf-made axes until they shined.

Xia Xifeng looked at Leo, who looked like a fairy-tale prince, holding two huge axes. The sense of incongruity made him want to complain.

Qin Lang watched as Xia Xifeng refreshed the system dialogue page again, and continued to search in vain for the block button.

"Pereira! Don't pretend you didn't see me!" Leo chased after him with two huge axes.

The halfling in a gray robe quickened his pace to escape.

Xia Xifeng turned to Qin Lang and said, "Why did Leo chase after me with an axe in hand? That's scary."

Qin Lang: "He's showing off his axe." A real halfling is more annoying than Xia Xifeng, the spiritual halfling.

Leo charged forward and circled in front of the short-legged warlock halfling: "Hey, why are you running away!"

The gray-robed halfling didn't stop in time and bumped into Leo.

Leo raised his axe: "Does my axe look good?"

The gray-robed halfling lowered his voice and said, "Get out!"

"No way. Long time no see, why are you still so bored? I brought you a lot of goodies, all of which you desperately need." Even if his friend didn't want to appreciate his axe, Leo still wanted to show off enough, spinning around in front of his friend, "By the way, I haven't introduced my new friend to you yet. Didn't you say you wanted to meet the God's Blessed One? Feng is the God's Blessed One!"

The gray-robed halfling stopped and tried to escape.

He turned around and found two long-legged people watching the fun, and his face immediately turned red.

The gray-robed halfling glanced at Leo, then smoothed his messy hair, smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, and half-bowed to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang: "Dear friends of the Sunflower Family, hello. My name is Perilla, and I'm a warlock."

Leo put the giant axe into his backpack and put his arm on Pereira's shoulder: "Pereira is my good brother."

"Get out!" Pereira gritted his teeth, but he didn't push Leo away because Leo brought him rare materials.

He was very curious about the God's Favored Ones and needed Leo to introduce them to him.

Xia Xifeng looked at Perilla curiously.

Most halflings have cheerful personalities, and Leo is particularly outgoing. While there are also quiet and elegant halflings, being approachable is the fundamental quality of halflings, and quiet and elegant halflings are generally gentle.

Pereira is special.

His face was rather pale, with a hint of indifference and gloom in his eyes. He looked not quiet and elegant, but rather like a lonely and eccentric person.

Every race has people with strange personalities. Xia Xifeng was just curious and didn't think much about it.

Although Pereira looked aloof, he was very polite to them. When Leo annoyed him, Pereira spoke harshly, but he accepted his fate and let Leo continue to annoy him, as if he was used to it.

Xia Xifeng glanced at Qin Lang.

Qin Lang knew Xia Xifeng was secretly teasing him, but he didn't think he was very similar to Perilla. Because when Xia Xifeng annoyed him, he could always remain silent. Perilla, on the other hand, was easily provoked by Leo and started to argue.

Although Perilla is a warlock, he enjoys studying spells and is more like a wizard.

If it weren't for his low perception of the magic network, he would definitely choose to become a mage.

As for what kind of warlock Pereira was, even Leo didn't know and wouldn't ask.

In this world, knowing the source of a warlock's power is equivalent to knowing their most fatal weakness. No one would be so rude as to ask.

Only gamers would put a big XX Warlock title on their heads and make their skill lists public.

Although it is unknown where Pereira's power comes from, he mostly uses nature spells, which players call "wood and earth magic", which are just right for hunting in the forest.

Perilla often used spells to help the halflings farm, so even though he was quiet, the halflings in the valley were very kind to him, thinking he was very promising and often praising him.

On the contrary, although Leo is cheerful and lively and is a halfling among halflings, he is often taught a lesson by the village elders because of his reckless temperament.

If there is no need to preach, those who are favored by God will generally not disclose which god they received the favor from.

Perilla naturally would not be impolite to ask about Xia Xifeng's privacy, she just wanted to watch the God's favored one cast the God's favor spell.

When hunting from the village, they can borrow horses from the village and return to the forest in just over half an hour.

With a team that has both long-range spells and melee blood cows, not to mention Xia Xifeng who has no fighting power, even Qin Lang can only do the job.

The two of them seemed to have hired a big boss to lead them in gaining experience, and the efficiency of upgrading depended solely on the efficiency of attracting monsters.

Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng quickly reached level ten.

Qin Lang did not choose the more combat-capable assassin as his first profession, but instead chose the bard, who had slightly weaker combat power in the early stages.

This is Xia Xifeng’s suggestion.

They were visiting a halfling village. Although assassins weren't bound to evil gods, they were still a profession that walked in the shadows, which didn't quite fit in with halflings.

In the game, if players choose a profession like assassin that walks in the dark, their efficiency will be reduced when they brush up the prestige of good faction races such as halflings and light elves.

However, if the player has a second profession, he can "disguise" himself and eliminate this debuff.

Qin Lang can choose the Bard at level 10 and the Assassin at level 20. He can then upgrade the Assassin's professional skills first, and then upgrade the Bard to the maximum level when the Assassin's professional skills are at the maximum level.

Although this is not the most utilitarian upgrade route, the game has become a reality. Qin Lang has a bard profession as a disguise, which is more suitable than walking the world as an assassin.

Qin Lang trusted Xia Xifeng's understanding of the game plot and adopted Xia Xifeng's suggestion.

Xia Xifeng was picking up materials while brushing up on his life skills.

When Qin Lang changed his job, he just submitted today's fur equipment order, which gave him a small amount of money, allowing Qin Lang to max out his professional skills.

Qin Lang successfully changed his job, and the system popped up a "Mission Completed" reminder for the first time.

Xia Xifeng: [Isn't the system assigning tasks to us, but directly distributing task rewards based on our performance? Does this mean that the system doesn't interfere with our behavior?]

Qin Lang: [I don’t know. But this is good.]

When playing games, players prefer precise task guidance so that they can have a clear direction for playing.

But in reality, neither Qin Lang nor Xia Xifeng likes to be led by the nose.

The system popped up a task completion reminder only after Qin Lang chose his career, which made the two people who had been worried about what tasks the system would issue breathe a sigh of relief.

The first task reward given by the system is exactly the drawings and materials of the professional suits and weapons that Qin Lang can equip.

Xia Xifeng stopped Leo and Pereira from bickering again over some inexplicable little issue: "We've been fighting for so long, let's take a break. I'll show off my barbecue skills. By the way, Pereira, I just gathered the materials and am going to make a set of equipment that might be more suitable for the divine favor skills you want to see."

Perilla asked hurriedly, "Can wind be produced here? Without seclusion?"

Xia Xifeng nodded: "But there are very few equipments I can make, and most of them are what he can use."

Xia Xifeng pointed at Qin Lang with a sour expression.

Apart from Qin Lang's professional equipment, he could only make general equipment. Although he knew that general equipment was for himself, he still felt jealous.

Just because he doesn't like fighting in games doesn't mean he has any dreams of becoming a fighting hero if he travels to a real fantasy world.

Perilla untied her hair and re-tied her silver-white low ponytail that had been accidentally messed up during the battle: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xia Xifeng said, "Please help me clear the bushes here. I need to put up a workbench."

"Okay." Pereira shook her staff, and vines grew out from the ground, covering the bushes in front of her.

After the vines have completely covered the bush, white roses bloom.

Then the white roses quickly withered, and the vines also withered and collapsed along with the bushes, leaving only broken branches and dead leaves on the ground.

Pereira shook the staff again, and the earth churned up, burying the dead branches and leaves underground.

The originally dense bushes turned into a flat muddy ground.

"Okay... huh? Feng, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Pereira asked with concern.

Xia Xifeng's forehead and temples were wet with cold sweat. His face turned pale instantly and he shuddered. He shook his head vigorously: "No, no... No, uh, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I'll leave for a while!"

Xia Xifeng ran towards a big tree not far away.

Leo touched his chin and said, "I told you not to eat berries carelessly, but he didn't believe me."

Perilla said angrily, "You shouldn't be stuffing berries into your mouth while you're saying that. Why don't you have diarrhea?"

Leo patted his belly and said, "Because I'm awesome!"

Perilla rolled her eyes in disdain for Leo's answer.

Qin Lang moved a little further away from the two of them and sat on the ground to wipe his dagger.

Xia Xifeng: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]

Xia Xifeng: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]

Xia Xifeng: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]

Xia Xifeng said nothing, but just let out a meaningless scream.

But Qin Lang knew why Xia Xifeng screamed.

Thorns are common, white roses are common, but the thorny white roses that grow and wither at any time are too familiar, and can be seen everywhere in the novice dungeon "Sun Valley Ruins".
