Chapter 13 Chapter 13 “When the apple tree first…
Leo was like an indestructible cockroach. He quickly got up from the ground and jumped up and down.
"Teacher, teacher, am I very awesome?" Leo said proudly.
Amuruo had a complicated expression, his eyes a mixture of disgust, relief and pride. In the end, this time he did not beat Leo to the wall when Leo called him teacher, and he couldn't get him down.
"Leo is such a genius." Pereira muttered to herself.
Qin Lang looked at Perella.
The jealousy and envy on Pereira's face were obvious, but the degree of curvature of her eyebrows and mouth corners was also obvious.
Qin Lang withdrew his gaze and his mind went blank.
Thinking about the plot is such a hassle. When Xia Xifeng comes, I'll give him the information I've got and let him do the work. Anyway, Xia Xifeng likes it.
Just as Qin Lang thought of Xia Xifeng, Xia Xifeng arrived.
As soon as he saw Qin Lang sitting in the corner, the fatigue in his eyes disappeared.
Xia Xifeng took two steps at a time and ran to Qin Lang, bent his knees and squatted, then poked Qin Lang's arm.
"Hiss..." Qin Lang, whose muscles were extremely stiff, shuddered instantly, and the handsome leaning posture he had managed to maintain was immediately distorted.
In order to help Qin Lang remember his "physical memory" and "recover" as soon as possible, Amuruo allowed Qin Lang to recover from physical fatigue on his own without relying on drugs.
Xia Xifeng's mouth turned into a cat's mouth with a smile, and his eyes were half-closed: "Hey, Qin Lang, what are you doing sitting on the ground? Why don't you stand up?"
I poke, I poke again, I poke the face, I poke the hands, I poke the waist, I poke, poke, poke...
"Xia, Xi, Feng!" Qin Lang really wanted to punch Xia Xifeng, but it was difficult for him to move his fingers now, so he could only let Xia Xifeng "bully" him.
"What do you want me to do? Ouch, why is your voice hoarse? Is there a leak in your throat?" Xia Xifeng continued to poke until Qin Lang could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, then he withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Xia Xifeng raised his head and found that everyone was looking at them with indescribably strange expressions.
Moment of embarrassment.
"I was just joking with him, I didn't bully him." Xia Xifeng tried to save face.
Leo and Pereira exchanged a look that showed they understood each other.
They didn't care about Xia Xifeng "bullying" others, they just felt that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were flirting in public as if no one was around, and their relationship was so good, so good that it made others feel a little shy watching.
In fact, if Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had been more open, they wouldn't have cared. But for some reason, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang slept together every night, their relationship so close that they could communicate with just their eyes, yet they insisted that they were just fellow villagers and not even friends.
These two people usually try to hide their feelings awkwardly, but when they are not careful, they can no longer hide their excessive tacit understanding and intimacy, which makes the onlookers feel embarrassed for them.
Leo and Perelado had mixed feelings after spending a few days with Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang. Amuruo and Su'er simply thought the current couples were being too clingy. As for Damon, he was beginning to consider changing his single persona.
But thinking about the many difficulties that couples face when adjusting to each other, Damon just thought about it. He didn't have any childhood friends, so he was impatient to adjust to strangers.
In the fantasy world of the West, sexual orientation is free. Straight men Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were completely unaware that their normal interactions would give people such outrageous misunderstandings.
The people present were all respectable and quickly looked away.
Xia Xifeng is a generous person. If others are not embarrassed, then he will not be embarrassed either.
Xia Xifeng pulled Qin Lang, who had been knocked to the ground by him, up and asked, "Is it over?"
Leo smiled and boasted, "It's over. You missed my awesome ultimate move!"
Xia Xifeng followed Leo's words and said, "How powerful is it?"
Leo gave a thumbs-up and said proudly, "The kind that can open the road to godhood is so powerful!"
Xia Xifeng was stunned for a moment: "The road to godhood? Aren't you unable to defeat even wild beasts?"
Qin Lang said: "He brought the power to suppress the rune."
Xia Xifeng couldn't believe it. Even with the power suppression rune, an expert was still an expert. Forget about combat experience, at least he had to maintain his master's dignity, right?
Which master, whose power level has reached the point of seeking the path to godhood, is being forced by a few wild beasts to scream for help?
What’s even more speechless is that this expert entrusted the proof of lifelong friendship to two newbies because they “saved his life”?
Xia Xifeng, who had always criticized Qin Lang for his prejudice against the Halfling race, now had to admit that the Halfling race was indeed strange.
Although Leo looked relaxed, his body had reached its limit.
Sur interrupted their chat and ordered the servants to move Leo and Qin Lang to the pool to recover some strength before having a big dinner in the evening.
Amuruo: "I just want them to fall asleep exhausted so that I can better temper their will."
Soul: "They are all good kids with strong spirits. They don't need this kind of self-torture."
Amuruo: "Do you know how to fight or do I know how to fight?"
Soul: "Me."
Amuruo gave up reasoning with Sul and gave the choice to Leo and Qin Lang.
Leo and Qin Lang, who possessed strong wills, chose to soak in the medicine pool without hesitation, resolutely refusing to abuse themselves.
Amuruo: "..." From now on, I will continue to not let Leo call me teacher. Shameful!
Xia Xifeng was curious about the medicine pool and wanted to try it too.
Su Er asked Xia Xifeng to soak in another medicinal pool that could restore his mental strength: "Each medicinal pool has its own use. The one that strengthens the body won't be of much use to you."
It's still useful, right? At least it can withstand a beating. Xia Xifeng thought regretfully.
He needs to improve his life skills as soon as possible so that he can make his own medicine pool and make medicine however he wants.
Although Perella and Damon did not receive training today, they also took a bath with Xia Xifeng.
The three of them chatted about a lot of things.
With so many books to read, Xia Xifeng's original plan to ask Su Er for life skills training had been postponed. After a day of information indoctrination, his head was filled with a lot of common sense unknown to players in this world, and his ability to talk about strategy on paper had reached a new level, shocking Pereira and Damon.
Only then did Xia Xifeng, who had relaxed, see Qin Lang's message.
Are Leo and Pereira about to enter the legendary realm? Xia Xifeng smiled, but his heart sank.
All acquired gods can only transform after entering the legendary realm. If Pereira is the evil god Yingsen, rather than the evil god Yingsen's follower, then the prologue of doomsday will not come until Pereira reaches the legendary realm.
Xia Xifeng thought that Pereira and Leo were at about the same level as him and Qin Lang, and were still far from the legendary realm. He and Qin Lang still had plenty of time to explore this world.
He thought of the information he had gathered and buried his head in the water, blowing bubbles.
You can't be complacent, you have to face reality no matter how uneasy you are.
After a nice bath, Xia Xifeng changed into the clothes that Suer had prepared.
Although he can make his own clothes, Su Er looks down on Xia Xifeng's current craftsmanship.
After checking Xia Xifeng's current "craftsmanship", Suer offered Xia Xifeng an order for unlimited purchases.
Although Xia Xifeng's skills are rough, they are just right for the vast majority of civilian combat professionals in the city.
System-produced items offer stable quality and excellent value at competitive prices. Xia Xifeng can gain access to this world's money and materials, while Suer can reduce the city's budget for acquiring low-level equipment by 20-30%. It's a win-win deal.
As for the clothes and equipment worn by Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, Suer would not allow them to mess around.
It would be fine when Xia Xifeng was able to hand-make better equipment suitable for them without going through the "God's Favor". Before that, Suer would never allow his younger generation (dragon eggs) to have any inferior products.
Unfortunately, high-level equipment requires strong physical and mental strength to support. Wearing equipment of a higher level is not only useless, but will also "suck dry" the wearer. Sulding wants to equip the two of them with the highest level of luxury equipment.
Now, he could only arrange the highest grade luxury clothes for the two of them.
Hearing that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were able to hide their equipment early, Suer firmly demanded that they must wear the best clothes every day.
Afraid of breaking it? Are you underestimating my craftsmanship?
Su Er has excellent aesthetic taste. The clothes he chose for Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are very suitable for their styles. The materials used are excellent, but the appearance does not appear exaggerated and luxurious.
On the contrary, Amuruo, who tried to participate in choosing clothes and accessories for Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, had an aesthetic that was a bit difficult to describe.
Xia Xifeng: [Speaking of which, dragons' aesthetics are more like those of nouveau riche, preferring to inlay the most precious and glittering treasures on their clothes, like a walking jewel rack. Elves are the most recognized and elegant race. How come Mr. Soul's aesthetics are like those of an elf, while the city lord's are like those of a dragon? Is the city lord kidding us? His own attire is perfectly normal.]
Qin Lang: [It might have been chosen by Mr. Suer.]
After pondering it, Xia Xifeng felt that Qin Lang's words made perfect sense. Given how much Mr. Sur valued the attire of these young people, he would definitely not allow City Lord Amuruo, who was wandering under his nose, to wear something that didn't suit his taste.
Su Er's care for Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang goes beyond just providing them with clothes.
While Xia Xifeng was reading hard, Suer had already helped Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang select the "Knight Territory" and summoned the craftsmen with the city lord's order.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang's knight territory was one of the most dangerous areas in the wasteland that needed to be developed, being the farthest from Green Sand City's core defenses. Consequently, it also had the best development prospects and the potential to become a rising city.
This area was originally patrolled by the halflings who lived in Sunflower Valley. Aside from farming and hosting banquets, halflings disliked other tedious matters, especially the socializing that was filled with hypocrisy and conflicts of interest.
Suer believed that the halflings would be happy to let Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang shoulder the heavy responsibility for them. The halflings would be the first residents of Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang's knight territory.
Su Er first helped Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang lay the foundation for the knight's territory, and helped them build the knight's castle.
The best materials are selected.
Su Er said to Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, who didn't want to owe anyone a favor, "If we just deal with it perfunctorily, it will be troublesome to demolish and rebuild in the future. It's better to plan it out first and follow the plan from the beginning. I will only help you build a place to live; you will be responsible for expansion. I will put the necessary building materials on the account, and you can pay it back over time. As for the clothes, they are gifts from the elders, and you can't refuse them."
Amuruo said, "Remember the proverb? 'Don't refuse a dragon's kindness.' Don't refuse. It's useless to refuse."
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang could only secretly record the large debt again.
The pressure of being in debt is really great.
Because Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were not used to living surrounded by a large number of servants - this was similar to Su Er and Amuruo. In Su Er's plan, looking only at their living area, it looked like a single three-story building in the fields, with servants only responsible for daily cleaning.
Sur added ten magic puppets to their bill, which could help them take care of all the housework and would not affect their life as a couple at all.
Sur gave Xia Xifeng the blueprint of the magic puppet, encouraging Xia Xifeng to develop a magic puppet with more functions - even though Xia Xifeng couldn't even make the parts of the magic puppet now.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were stunned by Suer's gift and the huge debt.
When the two settled down in the castle, their heads were still dizzy, and they didn't come to their senses until they turned off the lights and lay down.
Xia Xifeng stammered, "Leo and the others aren't surprised at all?"
Qin Lang: "Maybe I'm used to it."
Xia Xifeng muttered to herself, "What kind of gloomy dragon is this? She's clearly a super kind and doting dragon mother."
Qin Lang didn't like to say bad things about people behind their backs, so he just nodded in agreement in the dark.
After calming down, the two were silent for a while before sharing the information they had obtained today.
"Leo's unfinished move is the power covering the remaining wound on Yingsen's chest."
After listening to Leo's introduction of the concept of the move, Qin Lang confirmed it.
The legendary road is the road to "transcendence".
Taking combat as an example, gods are "conceptual gods" and ordinary people's attacks cannot harm them. The so-called "transcendence" is the transformation towards a "divine body", which can harm gods.
The difference between a demigod and a god lies solely in whether or not they have ignited the divine fire, completely detaching themselves from the world. Gods have higher limits than demigods, but not all gods possess greater martial prowess than demigods. Demigods can slay gods.
The fact that Leo was able to figure out the move that hurt Amuruo meant that he had found the key to becoming a god, confirming the player's guess that Amuruo had already been a demigod a long time ago.
Xia Xifeng tried hard to understand: "He figured out this move, which is the difference between being completely immune to damage and '-1-1-1' when you fight a boss?"
Qin Lang: "Yes. In Leo's prediction, the ultimate form of this move is that as long as his will is not extinguished, even if he dies, the wound created will never heal."
Xia Xifeng's breathing became short, and he muttered, "Is that so? Strange, isn't it? If Leo really did inflict an incurable wound on the body of the evil god Yingsen, he would have been famous even after his death. At least in Green Sand City and among the halflings, his reputation would have been very loud. What exactly happened?"
In order to whisper, the two of them temporarily stayed in the same bed.
Qin Lang reached out his hand, put his arm around Xia Xifeng's shoulders, and gently patted Xia Xifeng's shoulders.
Xia Xifeng, who is full of emotions, must be secretly shedding tears, which is really troublesome.
Xia Xifeng fought back tears. "I have some bad news, too. Do you remember the quest 'Red Wedding'? On the wedding day of the mayor's daughter, Blackrock Town was invaded and destroyed by corrupted monsters. There are many undead NPCs in the quest instance that you can talk to. One of the gatekeepers said that when the mayor's daughter and her lover first met, he planted an apple tree at the city gate. Five years later, when the apple tree bore its first fruit, and the mayor's daughter was getting married, he brewed fruit wine from the tree's first fruit as a gift to the bride and groom..."
Xia Xifeng saw the latest news about Black Stone Town mixed with a caravan advertisement.
Blackstone was originally a mining town. The local aborigines were skilled in making fruit wine. Now that the mines in Blackstone are nearing depletion, the new mayor has introduced fruit trees from around the world, hoping to transform the town into a tourist and wine destination.
The news said that with the help of the caravan, Blackrock Town successfully planted an apple sapling called "Love," and boasted about how red this variety of apple was, how sweet it tasted, how charming its aroma was, and how demanding and picky the growing conditions were.
Qin Lang remembered the mission, but not the words of the NPC undead.
Who, while speed-clearing a dungeon, would talk to every NPC undead that had nothing to do with the boss clearing? Even if it was related, Qin Lang would quickly click the skip button.
When Xia Xifeng mentioned this, Qin Lang guessed, "The apple tree at the city gate might have been planted now?"
Xia Xifeng took a deep breath and said, "Go take a look and you'll know."
If he really found the fruit tree, the time of doom would be clear.
The two stopped talking.
Their shoulders were touching, their body heat spreading through the quilt. Xia Xifeng closed his eyes, no longer letting his thoughts wander.
He overused his brain today and is very tired.
Just when Xia Xifeng was about to fall asleep, he felt a huge push and then his body turned cold.
"Go back to your bed and sleep."
"Qin Lang, you bastard! Do you think you'll die if I steal half of your quilt?!"
"You sleep terribly."
"whispering sound."
