It seemed that Lin Wan was about to turn away. The healer from Hanjiu Lihe showed a delighted look on his face. But before the smile could fully spread, he saw Lin Wan suddenly stop in her tracks.
The smile froze on his face, and everyone was taken aback for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhihang's voice emerged in the game. His gentle voice, as clear as a spring, instantly caused quite a few girls to exclaim.
"Sure, but it wouldn't be fair for you four to fight against two of us. And it would only bring you bad publicity. We'll also find teammates," Lu Zhihang said calmly, even with a faint smile.
Hanjiu Lihe was stunned. He frowned, and his heart tightened involuntarily. For some reason, this qin player always gave him a very familiar feeling, just like... just like the Shangsan Ruoshui who had always outshone him back then.
His hand gripping the mouse tightened involuntarily. Hanjiu Lihe stared intently at the character named Lin Shen Jian Lu.
Then he thought of something else.
Standing beside Lin Shen Jian Lu was that Longyan Jixu, the assassin who had once knocked Shangsan Ruoshui off the pedestal. Logically, Shangsan Ruoshui should have hated, even resented this assassin. He would never team up with this person!
Hanjiu Lihe secretly affirmed this in his heart.
At the same time, having figured this out, he regained his confidence. A sneer appeared on his lips. "Sure, four - on - four is fair. But I have a requirement too."
"Go ahead," Lu Zhihang replied indifferently.
"The teammates also have conditions. They must be well - known on the leaderboard, and their average online time should be at least five hours. Otherwise, who knows if you'll use your alt accounts and hire a power - leveler? We'd be at a disadvantage then," Hanjiu Lihe said.
A sarcastic smile curled up on Lu Zhihang's lips. He said casually, "I'm not sure about the five - hour online time. I don't even log in for an average of five hours a day. Your requirement is a bit too demanding. But I can guarantee they're on the leaderboard, and no one can say they're power - levelers."
Hanjiu Lihe thought for a moment and then readily agreed.
"Okay, give me three days to contact them. We'll have the PK in three days," Lu Zhihang said.
At this time, the swordsman who had been standing silently behind Hanjiu Lihe spoke up. "Wait. You just mentioned a PK. Don't you want to add some stakes? It'll be so boring otherwise."
These people's words were clearly mocking, as if they were sure to win. The sarcasm on Lu Zhihang's lips became more and more obvious. He said, "Sure. How do you want to play? I'll play along."
At this moment, Lin Wan finally couldn't hold back and spoke in the game, worried. "Is it really okay? If we lose..."
"Don't worry. We won't lose!" Lu Zhihang turned off the public microphone and softened his voice. He whispered to Lin Wan.
The words on the tip of Lin Wan's tongue got stuck in her throat and were never said. She pursed her lips, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, making her cheeks flush slightly.
"I remember Longyan Jixu played on the Jiangxian Platform before. The winning side gets all the equipment of the losing side, and they have to start all over again," the swordsman said slowly.
Lu Zhihang's eye twitched violently, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.
He really hadn't expected this!
That incident back then had always been a pain in Lu Zhihang's heart. If he hadn't been debugging other things back then, would he be having such a hard time chasing his wife now?
These people really knew exactly what to say to annoy him! They were just asking for trouble!
Lu Zhihang narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but rub his chin, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Longyan, do you trust me?" Lu Zhihang suddenly asked in the team chat.
Lin Wan was stunned. She hadn't been paying attention to the game just now. Now, suddenly being asked, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. Hastily, she could only say, "I trust you. You decide."
A smile curled up on Lu Zhihang's lips as he responded. Then he simply agreed to the swordsman's agreement.
Suddenly, there was an uproar all around.
"Damn it! He agreed?!"
"Did I mishear?"
"You're not alone, bro. I misheard too!"
"One - person petition. Please tell us the identity of this Lin Shen Jian Lu!"
"+1"
"+2"
"+10086"
"Let me tell you the truth. This is the person who teamed up with Longyan Jixu to clear the Sky City last night!"
"Holy shit! Really?!"
...
Hanjiu Lihe didn't expect Lin Wan and the other person to agree. For a moment, he was in a difficult situation. But since the arrow was already on the string, he had to let it fly. He could only tick the duel information and send it to Lu Zhihang.
Lu Zhihang quickly responded.
This PK information was broadcast twice in the system announcement, instantly making it known to everyone on the server.
Since the agreement had been made, Lu Zhihang and Lin Wan didn't stay there any longer. They quickly returned to the Fairyland on Earth and continued leveling up.
"Are you really sure?" Only now did Lin Wan finally come to her senses, still looking worried.
"Of course. I never fight a battle without being sure," Lu Zhihang said proudly. Just like chasing his wife. He didn't say the last part out loud, afraid that Lin Wan might run away.
"Then who are you going to find as teammates?" Lin Wan asked again.
Lu Zhihang smiled. His voice was like a feather gently tickling Lin Wan's ear. She couldn't help but take off her headphones and only then noticed that her ears had already turned bright red.
Putting on the headphones again, Lin Wan only heard Lu Zhihang's last words.
"Don't worry. Even if it's just the two of us, we can take down their four. I have a secret weapon."
Lin Wan: ...
So who are the teammates exactly?
Because she missed the information due to her own distraction, and being a quiet person by nature, Lin Wan was even less willing to ask again. She could only give a soft hum.
Lu Zhihang: ...
Shouldn't his wife be asking what the secret weapon is at this moment? Why does she seem so cold?
Helplessly, Lu Zhihang could only talk to himself. "Ahem, so, do you want to know what the secret weapon is?"
Lin Wan: "… Just tell me."
Lu Zhihang: ...
Although feeling a bit hurt, Lu Zhihang still tried his best to continue the conversation.
"Longyan, I'll accompany you to reset your skill points tomorrow. We'll change our playstyle," Lu Zhihang said.
Lin Wan was stunned and immediately frowned. Although many people reset their skill points, those at the top of the leaderboard knew that frequent resets weren't a good idea. It not only consumed gold coins but also made the player's operations messy.
After all, although there were many combat arts for each class in this game, each player was only familiar with one of them.
"I only know how to play an assassin with this combat art. I'm afraid I won't perform well if I reset," Lin Wan said.
"Don't worry. I'll teach you. I guarantee you'll learn it quickly. By then, you'll be able to take on Jing Nanheng one - on - one," Lu Zhihang said excitedly.
Lin Wan raised an eyebrow. "You seem to know Jing Nanheng very well?"
