◎Special two-player mission◎

After the bug was fixed, the players who had been holding back for a long time immediately started to fight monsters and explore new areas in revenge.

Those who had not dared to leave the guild before now came out in droves, and they now had the courage to go to the Polar Abyss dungeon that they had not dared to go to before.

Through the world channel, Xia Li saw wave after wave of players enthusiastically forming teams to challenge the elite dungeon, and then wave after wave of players died, beating their chests and stamping their feet.

[Hey bro, does anyone have a walkthrough? Could you please post a link?]

[Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. Fathers, I kneel down here to you.]

[The boss in the third level is so disgusting. His regeneration skill made me vomit blood. What should I do?]

Players kept crying out for strategy on the world channel.

Xia Li couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth as she watched these conversations.

She admitted that having a ready-made guide was certainly a relief, but how could it be as fun as trying to figure it out on your own? Well, to encourage everyone's enthusiasm, she decided not to reveal the dungeon guide.

"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so happily."

The hillside behind the guild headquarters was covered with green grass, and a figure in white slowly emerged from the lush greenery.

Xia Li supported her hands behind her back and leaned back lazily. The sunlight shone on her face, and her mood became particularly relaxed.

"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time." She smiled at the person walking towards her.

The newcomer returned the favor with a cheerful smile. He gently spread out his coat and sat down on the floor beside Xia Li. "Yes, thank you for all the hard work you've put in."

From leading them to clear the linked dungeon, to opening the adventure scroll and getting the first kill, to forming a team to challenge the ruined city and thrillingly defeating the Rotten Elf King, her shadow is always present in every major event in Miracle.

It was also because of her seriousness and her hard work that Fengyun Tianxia was able to stand firm amidst turmoil time and time again. Not only did they successfully overcome every crisis, but their guild, which was famous for its priest group, also gained recognition from more and more players.

The rumor that "the school can only heal but not fight" finally collapsed bit by bit, and the mages and paladins who came to visit formed a long line at the door.

With the powerful fresh blood, the overall strength of the guild continued to rise, and Fengyun Tianxia finally moved from outside the top 10 to fifth place, making Mumu Xiangyang, Feizi Xiao and Beiming Youyu, who were previously ahead of them, take notice.

Baili Xi thought, it's probably time to bring it up.

Just at this moment, a breeze blew across her face, lifting the black hair by Xia Li's temples, and the thin hair gently swept across her face.

At this moment, Baili Xi seemed to feel something swaying in his heart.

"Ali, the royal city is holding a two-person event recently. Do you want to participate?" He stared at her intently.

"What two-person activity?" Xia Li turned her head suspiciously.

"It's a limited-time event. If both parties collect the 99 flowers required by the task within three days, they will be bound together." Baili Xi felt his throat moving up and down uncontrollably.

"Oh, binding..."

Xia Li seemed to be lost in thought.

She wasn't very interested in forming a bond or anything like that. After all, she had been accustomed to being alone for so many years, and now that there was suddenly another person tied to her, she felt uncomfortable.

"I still like someone."

After thinking about it, Xia Li expressed her thoughts clearly and concisely.

But during this process, she didn't notice that the person sitting in front of her looked dazed for a moment.

"...Oh, really... Then I won't participate in this event."

Baili Xi didn't know what tone he was using to respond to the other party. He just felt inexplicably stuffy, bitter, and astringent in his chest, which was an emotion he had never experienced before.

He took a deep breath, trying to get as much fresh air as possible into his lungs.

When he finally regained his composure, he couldn't help but look at her seriously once again, and for the last time.

Perhaps a sincere and determined alchemist really shouldn't be bound by anyone.

Three minutes later, Xia Li left.

Suddenly, Baili Xi was the only one left on the huge hillside behind.

“Hahahahahahahaha…”

A burst of laughter came from the side and behind.

Baili Xi's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Come out."

"Hahahahaha, Brother Xi, you have come to this day, hahahaha, a major general in the army, the leader of a group, was rejected on the spot by my dear big sister, hahahahaha, too funny!"

Steamed Fish demonstrated what it meant to laugh so hard that your stomach hurt. He walked out from behind the tree, his back bent, his laughter getting louder and louder.

"Steamed Fish, you're making a noise in my eyes." Bai Guo appeared from behind, with the word "noisy" written all over his eyes.

The muscles at the corners of Baili Xi's mouth twitched fiercely: "Just the two of you?"

"Of course not, President, how can we be absent from the melon feast?"

It was another familiar voice.

Yuese walked out with a smile, then waved back. Zero Degree, Dawn, and Ice Cream, three people walked out from behind the big tree one after another like a string of candied haws.

"President... President... I didn't mean to eavesdrop... Sister Yue Se said there were some good things to show us in the back mountain, so I followed her..."

Realizing that he seemed to have heard or seen something he shouldn't have heard or seen, Ice Cream was embarrassed and torn.

As if to prove that she wasn't lying, Dawn followed closely behind, "President, I can vouch for Ice Cream! We really didn't mean to eavesdrop. After all, this is your private matter, right?"

Baili Xi tightened his grip on the weapon.

"If you want to blame someone, blame Yue Se! She never does anything serious all day long, all she does is eavesdrop on gossip. Look what a mess she's made this time." Po Xiao, completely unaware that Baili Xi's expression had darkened even further, said while shaking his head, "But don't worry, President. We are all your good buddies and brothers. We won't say a single word of what we heard today!"

Baili Xi: Does that mean I should thank you?

"Ahem, okay, okay, it's windy on the hillside, everyone, don't gather here, hurry down." Yue Se, who was pointed out by everyone as the source of gossip, had a bad feeling about the atmosphere and quickly made expressions to the people behind him.

Ice Cream was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a piece of the guild headquarters with his toes. Seeing this, he grabbed Yue Se and ran away.

Poxiao wanted to explain further, but Lingdu and Baiguo held him on both sides, like a roasted chicken, and he disappeared with a whoosh.

Only steamed fish was left on the scene.

He rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Hey, Brother Xi, don't get angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. Look how hard you work for the guild. Today is a rare autumn day with bright and sunny weather. You should relax and unwind."

"So is it autumn or spring now?"

Steamed Fish: "Of course it's spring... Oh my god!!! Sis! Why did you make any noise?"

The steamed fish shrank back with a look of fear on its face, hiding its hands behind its back.

"Do you think you can hide it?" Baili Xi narrowed his eyes, his face showing a stern look.

"Hmm, Brother Xi, I was wrong..."

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have left the video on and let Yu Ziteng watch the whole thing..."

Baili Xi took a deep, hard breath; he felt like he was about to explode.

If this wasn't on his own guild's territory, he might have blown the steamed fish's skull off on the spot.

Qing Zhengyu couldn't see that Baili Xi was angry. He quickly turned off the video and took a small step forward in a flattering manner: "Brother Xi, Brother Xi, the eldest sister is not good enough, let's just change her. Look, Yue Se is pretty, right? Oh, but she is closer to Zero Degree. Forget it, let's change someone else. Ice Cream? Although she is the youngest, she is very cute. Brother Xi, I think you...ah, no, no!"

The priest's holy arrow is in place.

A strong sense of oppression hit Steamed Fish's forehead.

Baili Xi: "Roll or lie down, you choose."

"Get out, get out, I'll get out right now..."

Collect 99 designated flowers...

On the way to the East District, Xia Li kept thinking about this mission.

It's not about binding myself to anyone, it's mainly because the collection process is very addictive. I've been very tired recently, so it's a good opportunity to have some entertainment activities and relax my body and mind.

I just wonder if I can talk to the NPC and ask them to allow her to participate alone?

Back at No. 02, East District 1st Street, the originally bare piece of land had now been used to build the framework of a three-story building. Xia Li stood in front of the door of the small house, her mouth wide open in surprise.

When it was handed over to Pipixia, it was just a piece of vacant land. But within two weeks, not only was the foundation built for her, but even the outer frame of the house was completed.

What surprised her even more was that she originally thought that this piece of land could only be used to build a two-story house, but Pipixia used legal means to build a three-story villa for her.

This wave of money is well spent!

Xia Li walked around the house and saw players acting as workers carrying materials in and out. When they saw her, they all looked happy.

"Oh, it's Mr. Lihua. Look at the design of this house. It's quite good, huh?"

Xia Li smiled and nodded: "It's really good."

"Yes, Brother Pi is smart and cares a lot about your house. We have all seen it during this period of time." A young worker said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, it's as if Brother Pi is not good to us." The others slapped the young worker on the head.

"Oh, I didn't even finish my sentence, and you guys interrupted me," the young worker yelled back. "We all know Brother Pi is generous and treats us well, but let's be honest, we should also thank Mr. Lihua, right? He gave us a sufficient budget, so we dared to buy materials and start work."

"You're right, I've experienced this all too well. A few days ago, I took on a house-building job for another female gamer. Not only did she pay me too little, but she was also incredibly lewd and mean. I was so pissed I quit. I'm not going to serve her anymore!"

"Female player?" Xia Li asked curiously.

"Yes, a female pastor, wearing gold and silver, afraid that others would not know that she has money. Hiss, what's her name, four characters..."

"There are so many female pastors with four-character names. Can you remember any of them? Hahaha..." Others made fun of the speaker.

"Hey, stop interrupting me. I really remember that she's a member of the Blazing Fury and has been on the forum a lot before."

"I remember there was a word for snow, something like snow..."

Fiery Fury, Female Priest, four characters, one of which also contains the word "snow".

I'm afraid there is no such coincidence in this world.

Xia Li crossed her arms casually in front of her chest, her tone becoming more amused: "You mean the snow falling all over the sky?"

"Oh, yes! That's her! She doesn't have many skills, but she has a bad temper. I will never have any cooperation with her again."

The player was still angry when talking about what happened before, and it was obvious how unpleasant it was at that time.

But it's normal. After the previous life and this life, Xia Li has completely seen through the true face of this former "good friend".

Hypocritical, vain, and petty.

As long as the players are not blind, it is impossible to work with her for a long time. Over time, the name of Mantian Feixue will spread among the players, and she will eventually be squeezed out.

In fact, the words of other worker players later confirmed her thoughts.

"Oh, it's her. I know her. Her posts are still on the forum."

"What post?"

"It's just a dig into her joining the Flame Fury and all the scandals that happened after she joined. It's really exciting!"

"Then come and listen to it."

"Ahem, it's like this. At first, the old guild leader, Lieyan, didn't agree to her joining. The reason for her disagreement was very simple. She was too weak and not qualified at all. But then she made a deal with the old guild leader, and after hearing it, the old guild leader agreed."

"What's the deal?"

Everyone was curious. It must be a valuable deal to persuade the head of the first guild.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the speaker, and no one noticed Xia Li's micro-expression hidden in the corner of her eyes.

Including storytellers.

"Ah, the forum said she promised the guild leader to recruit a high-ranking player to the guild. It was said that player was very powerful and had caught the old guild leader's attention when the server was first launched. Unfortunately, he didn't agree to join in the end, so the deal was scrapped.

Because of this, the old president later became very annoyed with her and began to deliberately exclude her and not allow her to join the group.

It just so happened that there was a power struggle within Lieyanfuhuo at that time. You all know about this, so I won’t say much. Anyway, a rift appeared between the old president and his nephew Long Yan, and the new vice president Bo Hu Xi'an came to power.

It has to be said that this woman, Mantian Feixue, is really cunning. As soon as she heard that Long Yan had fallen, she turned around and defected to Po Hu.

But Bohu Xi'an is not stupid, so how could he not see her little thoughts?

So Bo Hu deliberately gave her more power and asked her to lead the team to clear the dungeon more often. However, she had a bad temper and poor strength. When she led the team, she messed up the mentality of many people. Everyone was so angry that they all ran to Bo Hu to ask her to kick her out.

Well, that's it. Actually, she was kicked out of the First Guild a long time ago."

The storyteller's face was filled with joy, and the listeners also felt that God had mercy on them and the ending was not in vain.

The players who had previously complained about Mantian Feixue being stingy and sour suddenly understood.

"No wonder. I thought her outfit looked pretty good, so she must be rich. But she ended up buying a piece of land in a remote corner of the West District, and the construction fee she offered was pitifully small. It turns out she has no backing at all. Tsk, she's just trying to be rich."

"Then, be sure to avoid her from now on, so as not to bring bad luck to yourself."

"Yes, don't take her orders either."

Several players came to a conclusion with each other, and finally, seeing that the time for chatting was almost up, they said goodbye to Xia Li, turned around and plunged into the pile of steel bars, and began to work hard.

She had just wanted to look at houses today, but unexpectedly she heard a story that pleased her.

Xia Li raised her lips and smiled with an especially comfortable look.

When leaving East District 1st Street, Xia Li decided to take a detour.

After going back and forth for a while, she finally found the NPC who posted the event among the crowd.

There were unexpectedly many players who wanted to come and establish a bond, and among them, only Xia Li came alone.

"Hello, would you like to claim the [Special Two-Player Mission]?"

The cute NPC in a beige dress tilted her head and looked at Xia Li.
