117: Formal farewell

Sighing finished, time to get to work!

With Pigsy standing guard, those venomous creatures just caught would have to witness with their own eyes how their boss succumbed to Xu Shian's tyranny!

Ten seconds later, a flash of golden light passed!

The vat-sized Toad BOSS shrunk to the size of a bucket!

However, this thing is truly filthy!

If it weren't for the fact that this thing is actually useful, Xu Shian wouldn't even bother catching it!

After thinking about it, since it's a prodigy of the Frog race, I'll just call you Frog Emperor!

I hope you also understand the principle of not ascending...

The three-day respawn time is definitely not enough for Xu Shian to catch this BOSS again.

Fortunately, once in the main city, there will be other BOSSes to catch, so there's no need to rush!

Two hours had passed since entering the Poisonous Swamp, and Xu Shian walked out of the swamp area with a bountiful harvest!

On the way back to Novice Village, Xu Shian wondered if he should re-catch all the pets he had previously captured, starting from their lowest level?

After all... those fifty free stat points per level up are really not something to waste...

That settles it, the lowest level Goat, the lowest level Silver Wolf, Gray Wolf...

My place is big, I can do whatever I want!

Leaving at ten in the morning, Xu Shian stayed out until midnight before returning to Novice Village.

Today was another day of being too busy to go fishing!

It's fine, Xu Shian has already come to terms with it. If I didn't fish, I didn't fish, just consider it saving up luck for the next big explosion!

He woke up on time the next morning and even ran into An Xixi and the others at the place downstairs where they eat!

"You've already reached level eight? That's fast!"

Xu Shian praised An Xixi, who was sitting opposite him in a semi-conscious state.

"Hehe!"

"Don't sneer! Speak properly!"

An Xixi barely opened her sleepy eyes.

"A person who is level 10 at 99.99% is here complimenting me on having a high level... I have nothing to say, I'm flattered!"

"Hey, you unlucky kid, why are you being so sarcastic?"

Xu Shian moved his chair closer to An Xixi!

"I was already considering taking you to level up and then pass the trial... If this is your attitude..."

Xu Shian struck a pose of having the upper hand, then sat and waited for An Xixi to panic.

Xu Shian guessed the beginning, but didn't guess the ending!

Upon hearing Xu Shian's words, An Xixi did indeed wake up immediately.

With a solemn expression, she thought for a moment, then An Xixi shook her head and refused.

"Forget it, you should hurry up and pass the trial to get to the main city!"

Originally, Xu Shian was indeed hesitating; he didn't absolutely have to rush this time!

After all, it had been said before!

Flowing water does not compete for the lead, it competes for the endless flow!

This is a game that spans a lifetime, and it's not bad to occasionally stop and look at the scenery along the way...

This time, Xu Shian's day-and-night leveling rush wasn't for that bit of experience points!

What he was after was the two thousand plus years of extra lifespan he currently had...

Now that the version has been updated, whether or not to rush this time isn't that important to Xu Shian!

"Why?"

An Xixi rolled her eyes up, tilted her head, and started thinking about how to answer!

Damn... a head-tilt kill?

Xu Shian's mind stalled for a moment, and he could only stare blankly at the girl in front of him, silent.

"First, don't look at the fact that the experience points have been adjusted up now, we still need at least ten days to reach the level ten limit! Even with your help, it would take five or six days. If it were only one day, waiting would be fine!"

"Secondly, every 'first' in this game is almost always accompanied by huge rewards... If I miss out because of waiting for me, the loss would outweigh the gain!"

Xu Shian's mouth twitched.

"I don't care about these small rewards at all!"

"I care!"

Xu Shian was stunned; it was rare to see such a serious An Xixi!

"I understand! I will prepare everything in the main city and wait for you to come over..."

"Pinky swear!"

As soon as they pinky swore, Xu Shian couldn't help but pull the beauty in front of him into his arms!

He scanned the surrounding environment with a smile in his eyes...

Damn, mother-in-law?

An Xixi felt Xu Shian's stiffness and curiously tilted her head to look!

When she saw Liu Lili, she subconsciously straightened up and buried her head in fighting with her breakfast.

Liu Lili sighed.

"Don't look at me... the cafeteria is only this big, I can't exactly squat at the door to eat..."

Her voice carried three parts grievance, three parts teasing...

This situation was awkward, so Xu Shian coughed and decided to bribe Liu Lili!

"Sister Lili..."

Liu Lili's expression straightened, looking serious.

"Who are you calling sister? This child, no sense of propriety..."

Xu Shian: ...

Being scolded, he could only accept his fate!

Xu Shian handed over two pieces of equipment...

[Thorn Beard Robe] and [Thorn Heart Staff]

Xu Shian, who had already farmed the hell difficulty [Black Wind Forest] Dungeon until it was worn out, had five [Thorn Heart Staff]s alone in his hands!

Although he intended to sell these, timing was important!

It would be the time to maximize profits when all the aspirants were getting headaches over the trial...

But Xu Shian felt it was necessary to give one to Liu Lili to improve their relationship!

Liu Lili saw the stats of the equipment and subconsciously wanted to refuse!

"Mom, he gave it to you, so just take it..."

Liu Lili was stunned, she looked up and stared deeply at her daughter.

"Then thank you, Shian!"

Xu Shian was happy!

"We're all family, why thank me!"

The meal, although just ordinary steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, was eaten by Xu Shian with great relish.

In a good mood, he even ate a few more big meat buns!

After breakfast, Xu Shian and Hu Beiyu chatted for a bit at the door.

Looking back at the four women eating lively, Hu Beiyu sighed.

"Our team is becoming increasingly dominated by women!"

"This is a good thing that so many people can't even dream of? And you're complaining?"

Xu Shian gave Hu Beiyu a good roasting, then asked casually.

"What's the background of that [Little Glutton]?"

"I don't know, Auntie Liu found her!"

Speaking of this, Hu Beiyu hesitated.

"Does she have a problem?"

"No... just asking!"

He was indeed just asking; Xu Shian wasn't a detective, how could he see anything unusual from that energetic little girl?

At the entrance of Novice Village, the other four went ahead, leaving Xu Shian and An Xixi behind!

"Take these pieces of equipment; I see you seem to be missing just these few?"

"Thanks, I won't be polite with you!"

"If you're not going to be polite, why are you thanking me?"

"By the time you come back tonight, I estimate I'll already be in the main city!"

An Xixi was stunned, a trace of reluctance showing in her eyes!

"Have a safe journey! Once I leave Novice Village, I'll come find you!"

"It's a deal!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Xu Shian tentatively leaned in.

An Xixi's face flushed, but she didn't dodge!

After a long while, their lips parted!

"I'm going, otherwise they'll make fun of me in a bit!"

An Xixi hopped and skipped towards the direction of the team!

"Whoever dares to make fun of you, write down their name, and later this Guild Leader will make sure to make them wear tight shoes until they fit!"

Xu Shian raised his voice!

"Your Sister Lili, I'll wait for you to make her wear tight shoes..."

The voice drifted further away, the figure became more and more blurred!

This Novice Village is really something, everyone is an adult, why are there so many restrictions?

Can you still restrict us when we get to the main city?

Shaking his head, Xu Shian perked up.

First things first... go find Jia Hu and file a complaint!
