Chapter 67
But what does it matter?
In any case, Jiang Yunu still has no idea what kind of misunderstanding others have towards her.
After putting on a new look, Jiang Yunu ended a period of "wild and free" time in the game world. He was finally able to explore the world after the online interactive function was activated with the members of the Crystal Core Team.
The "heterosexual phobia" that had previously doubted her completely convinced Jiang Yunu of her record of completing the game the moment she actually saw her in the game. She also understood that Jiang Yunu had truly passed the novice trial at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
If Jiang Yunu hadn't been so unruly when she first appeared, the impact she left on others might have been even stronger.
Her entrance look was so unique and stunning that it struck the unfortunate classmate in the head. After a moment's pause, he finally recovered and reconsidered what it meant to see Jiang Yunu in the game—it meant that Jiang's record was truly impressive! As a freshman, Jiang had at least proven her incredible gaming prowess!
That’s right! It’s really awesome!
...But the fact that Jiang Xuemei doesn't care about her own image is also... equally amazing!
Jiang Yunu may really not care about her personal image at the moment. This can be seen from the fact that she initially cut her hair with a knife on the isolated island for convenience.
"Did you fight particularly hard in the novice trial?" asked a member of the Crystal Core Team.
Including Jiang Yunu, the temporary four-member team is exploring the valley map.
Jiang Yunu thought for a moment and replied, "Yeah."
Every time a new elemental beast is unlocked, Jiang Yunu has to find a new way to fight it, using close combat to explore the location of the elemental crystal core.
Although it was a novice trial, Jiang Yunu thought she had passed it not easily.
The team leader showed an understanding look on his face: "Looking at your expression when you were first pulled over by the team props, I can guess that you must have fought very hard."
It looked like it was completely damaged in battle.
The casualties were particularly severe. If Jiang Yunu had not been still alive and well after being teleported to their side and still breathing loudly, they would have thought that she was seriously injured.
Fortunately, the only serious injury was probably the appearance.
"Herophobia" No matter whether Jiang Yunu was injured in the battle or not, he dared not look directly at her as a member of the opposite sex, whether online or offline.
He was the only one who didn't speak to Jiang Yunu. He was holding a long pole-shaped object with a small speaker-like accessory on the front, and was walking at the front of the team, sweeping it back and forth.
Jiang Yunu was attracted by the other party's actions: "What is he doing? What is that?"
The team leader explained to her, "He's exploring for traces of elemental beasts near the river valley. He's using a handheld detector."
There are a variety of props in the game, but Jiang Yunu has not seen most of them yet, so she is curious about every new prop she sees.
The leader of the Crystal Core Team told her that after leaving the Novice Trial, there is a chance of encountering elemental beasts anywhere in the game, except in maps such as villages, towns, and cities that are classified as human settlements.
Moreover, the elemental beasts in different maps are of different types, and the elemental beasts on the same map also have different levels.
"Detector" can help players check the surrounding area with themselves as the center and explore in advance whether there are any traces of elemental beasts nearby.
"The higher the item level, the wider the detection range," another team member added. "There's also a directional enemy attraction item in the game. As the name suggests, if you know what elemental beasts are on a map, you can use the item to attract the type of beast you want to fight."
Jiang Yunu became very interested when he heard this and immediately asked how to obtain these props.
"Usually, you buy them at the trading house," the team leader said. "But if you've enabled the player exchange feature, you can also exchange items with others through the trading house. You just need to pay a small platform fee to the trading house."
Because this is a game world, the so-called "platform fee" naturally does not mean spending the star coins in the real account, but spending the tokens in the game.
As for how to obtain tokens, we have to return to the "old business" of the Crystal Core Team - fighting for crystal cores, and then trading crystal cores in the game to obtain tokens.
Jiang Yunu understood after hearing this: it seems that both crystal cores and tokens are considered "hard currency" in the game.
At this moment, the "heterophobia" who was concentrating on exploring suddenly made a noise: "Hey!"
His two friends immediately turned around and asked, "Did you find out?"
The River Valley map is a map near human villages and towns. The elemental beasts in the map are not very high in level, and a battle will not take too much time to complete - especially suitable for the Crystal Core Team who have limited computer time tonight.
"I've found it," said Heterophobia, "but the level might not be ideal."
The team leader leaned over to take a look and found that the accessory at the front end of the detector was flashing green.
It's a richer green.
"Hmm." said the leader.
Jiang Yunu also leaned over.
Jiang Yunu rarely used game props, so her reaction wasn't as quick as someone who frequently used a detector. She was a little puzzled by her leader's reaction: "What's wrong?"
"The color of the detector's feedback can be used to determine the elemental beast's attributes and strength," the team leader said. "Green indicates an earth element."
Another team member said: "But with this concentration of green, the level should be quite high... We seem to have found the mini-boss of the map."
According to the Crystal Core Team's previous combat experience, when they go to the small boss of the map, they must have at least a team of about 5 people, and they must be prepared to fight a team battle for 40 minutes to an hour.
But there are only four people today, and one of them is a junior who just finished the novice trial.
The team leader hesitated for a moment and subconsciously looked at the remaining game time for today.
Just when he was unsure whether to open this monster today and whether to give up this round of detection results, the school girl next to him who had just finished the novice trial figured out the current situation and held the strange prop that the other party had been holding since her appearance.
"The map's mini-boss!" Jiang Yunu said excitedly, "Shall we go and take it down now?!"
Team leader: “…”
The team leader always felt that the junior girl’s speech was a little subtly rough.
But even more uncontrollable than Jiang Yunu's language style are her actions.
Team leader: “!!!”
While the experienced team members were still assessing the situation, the schoolgirl who had just unlocked the new map took the lead, grabbed her strange props and rushed out!
Heterophobia can only look directly at the backs of the opposite sex. He glanced at the detector in his hand, then at Jiang Yunu's rapidly shrinking back: "...Does she know which way to run?"
"She knows." The team leader suddenly came to his senses, his tone a little exasperated - directed at himself.
"I just taught her how to see!"
Jiang Yunu grabbed the spatula and headed straight for the direction of the mini-boss on the map indicated by the detector.
The Crystal Core Team passively followed. While following Jiang Yunu's actions, two team members exchanged glances with their leader who seemed a little tired, and saw an emotion called "forget it" in each other's eyes.
Forget it, forget it.
Today, they had witnessed the fastest Novice Trial completion in history—at least, as far as they knew, the fastest anyone around them could come into contact with. Witnessing a fresh record set by a fellow schoolmate, even if they couldn't defeat a small boss in two hours tonight, it would only mean a few less boss cores.
It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ve already gained something else tonight, so it’s not a loss even if I don’t have the crystal core.
All members of the Crystal Core Team held this idea in mind, adjusted their mentality, and then arrived in front of the small boss of the map more than one step slower than Jiang Yunu.
Their first thought was: ...This schoolgirl runs so fast!
But then no one paid attention to the running speed.
Jiang Yunu swung the thing in her hand that they regarded as an ordinary prop and charged directly at the small boss of the map that appeared.
How to describe that scene, and how to describe the psychological impact it brought to several "crystal core collecting veterans"?
Before Jiang Yunu smashed the object in her hand heavily on the earth elemental beast that was over two meters tall, no one expected that she was holding a weapon!
...No one could have imagined that she could jump up from the spot to half the height of the elemental beast without a running start! Then, the object in her hand slashed down from top to bottom, directly at the elemental beast's crown!
A team member muttered to himself, "What kind of fighting style is this... What kind of weapon is this? There are such magical weapons in the game?"
The team leader stared at Jiang Yunu's weapon for a long time.
Finally, it was Heterophobia who spoke the truth: "...That's a spatula, right?"
But the three men's stunned state did not last long. Soon, they joined the battle based on their long-trained teamwork instincts.
And I got something totally unexpected - I defeated the mini-boss before the logoff time and successfully got the boss's crystal core.
This was Jiang Yunu's first team battle, but strictly speaking, it could not be considered a proper team battle.
The battle situation can be simply described as follows: Jiang Yunu rushed forward like a violent Bigger that had broken free from its rope. Unable to predict her movements, all members of the Crystal Core Team had to do their best to chase after her and deal damage and finish off the enemy.
The fight was very disorganized.
But miraculously, the small boss was defeated.
Jiang Yunu finally scooped out the elemental beast's crystal core with a shovel. Her movements were very smooth and it was not the first time she had done such a thing. However, in the eyes of bystanders, it seemed particularly bizarre and "touching".
"Did you see that?" a member of the Crystal Core Team said, "The junior girl fried the Crystal Core from the top of the Elemental Beast's head like an automated robot cooking in the cafeteria."
"..." the team leader said, "Shut up and say less."
The crystal core that was "fried" fell into Jiang Yunu's hands, and she handed it to the team leader.
This was the result of teamwork. The crystal core team was more skilled in how to list the crystal core on the trading platform and exchange it for tokens. The team leader promised Jiang Yunu that once the crystal core transaction was successful, the tokens would be transferred to her game account immediately.
"Okay." Jiang Yunu said, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
After defeating the elemental beast, the school girl no longer looked like a violent little wild beast. She became so polite and cheerful that it was shocking.
After hesitating for a while, Heterophobia finally glanced to the side before everyone else logged off, and asked hesitantly, "Is your weapon really a spatula?"
He really cared about this issue throughout the entire battle!
Jiang Yunu immediately picked up her "trusted spatula" and made no secret of her cherishment for it: "Of course, I relied on it to pass the novice trial."
All members of the Crystal Core Team: "..."
What a strange weapon!
Such unreasonable fighting power!
