Putting away the documents that Xia Zichen had signed, the two of them sat facing each other and turned their attention into the game.
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: Wow, it’s so rare for the god to log in at this time.
‘Guild’ [One Season Blooming]: At a glance you can tell he’s accompanying the god’s partner.
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: Nose pick, asking for the truth.
‘Guild’ [Arrogant Healer]: I think the truth is probably the god and the god’s partner are together. Otherwise the god wouldn’t have such good interest to log in at this time.
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: This truth suddenly makes me so excited!
‘Guild’ [Three Times Falling in Love]: Excitement +1!!!
There were many student players in the guild. Now it was summer vacation, so everyone basically had nothing to do, and many people were online in the game all day. It was also the most lively time.
‘Guild’ [Hundred Grass Folding]: Why don’t I go upstairs and catch them in the act?
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: Ahhh, Vice Guild this proposal is great, please don’t hold back and charge up!
‘Guild’ [One Season Blooming]: Right, I heard Vice Guild and the god are in the same company. But speaking of which… if they are at work, how could the god’s partner be with the god?
‘Guild’ [Hundred Grass Folding]: Ahem, there is a place called the office, understand?
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: Understand!! Totally understand! I really understand!
‘Guild’ [Arrogant Healer]: Why do I suddenly feel evil, office something…
‘Guild’ [Three Times Falling in Love]: Definitely not just you! Vice Guild, hurry up and rush in to protect the god’s partner! The god is plotting something bad!
‘Guild’ [Chenxi]: …You’re all thinking too much…
Watching them wildly fantasize, Xia Zichen really had no way to let them continue, so he had to interrupt their imagination, to prevent these people from losing all their dignity today.
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: God’s partner, don’t be shy~
‘Guild’ [Arrogant Healer]: Vice Guild hurry hurry, take some photos to share. We want to see it with our own eyes!
‘Guild’ [One Season Blooming]: Agree, Vice Guild hurry up, for the safety of the god’s partner!
‘Guild’ [Dark Ink Without Trace]: Speaking of photos, I actually have quite a lot of you and Sword Roar.
A light, casual threat immediately made Hundred Grass Folding wilt. He had quite a lot of photos of Luo Ji and Mo Xiang. Of course, these were not taken by him voluntarily, but because Luo Ji himself was very obsessed with taking photos. When the three of them went out to eat, Gu Xu would inevitably be forced by Luo Ji to take pictures of him and Mo Xiang. Sometimes Luo Ji forgot his camera, so he would use Gu Xu’s phone. Among the three of them, Gu Xu’s phone had the best camera, and Luo Ji considered it “useful if not wasted.”
‘Guild’ [Hundred Grass Folding]: Ahem, I was just saying casually.
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: Vice Guild, you’re not serious… giving up just like that!
‘Guild’ [Hundred Grass Folding]: When under someone’s roof, one must bow one’s head.
Although Luo Ji and Mo Xiang’s photos were quite normal, he didn’t have the hobby of leaking photos. Even though Gu Xu only said it casually, he still didn’t dare guarantee that if he really rushed in and disturbed their “two-person world,” he wouldn’t be retaliated against.
From the moment Xia Zichen joined the company, everyone had been curious about him, constantly asking what kind of person he was. After all, being pulled into the office by Gu Xu like that, no matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t an ordinary relationship.
There were many young people in the company, so gossip was also plentiful. But everyone had a sense of boundaries and didn’t go too far. Most people thought Xia Zichen was Gu Xu’s relative, and he just listened and didn’t care much.
‘Guild’ [Arrogant Healer]: Actually I kind of want to see Vice Guild and Guild Leader, it would definitely be spicy~
‘Guild’ [Three Times Falling in Love]: God, please show photos! If you show photos, in future dungeons we won’t fight the god’s partner for loot. Even if the god’s partner is slacking, lowest healing, we’ll still give him the best gear!
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: Agree!
‘Guild’ [Greedy Bloodthirst]: Damn, why do I feel like you guys are getting more and more without dignity?
‘Guild’ [Three Times Falling in Love]: What is dignity? Can it be eaten?
‘Guild’ [Arrogant Healer]: For the photos, no dignity!
‘Guild’ [Greedy Bloodthirst]: …
‘Guild’ [Sword Roar]: Alright, you guys stop gossiping for a bit. If everyone is here, let’s run the dungeon later. Try to push the last boss today.
‘Guild’ [Arrogant Healer]: Tsk tsk, once it involves the Vice Guild, the Guild Leader immediately steps up to smooth things over.
‘Guild’ [Sunflower]: This is deep love, isn’t it!
‘Guild’ [Three Times Falling in Love]: Yes!
‘Guild’ [One Season Blooming]: Absolutely yes!
The guild members, while fantasizing, formed teams. Tianfeng Yage currently had more than forty people online. After subtracting those in dungeons or busy, there were still a few empty slots.
Xia Zichen checked his friends list; An Jing and the others were online, so he grouped them in.
‘Team’ [Deep Night Sneak]: I’m here again to leech your experience.
…
They entered the dungeon in a large group. Before starting bosses, Sword Roar placed a table, everyone ate buffs, then began attacking.
With the strength of Sword Roar, Hundred Grass Folding, and Dark Ink Without Trace, the early bosses went down quickly.
When they reached the final boss, everyone adjusted and prepared.
The boss had many mechanics. The first phase required everyone to jump to avoid a stun. Second phase had ground spikes and mobs. Healing became difficult due to multitasking.
Xia Zichen was busy healing and dodging.
Gu Xu suddenly said: “Chenchen, follow me.”
Xia Zichen immediately reacted and set Dark Ink Without Trace to follow.
Now Chenxi automatically followed wherever Dark Ink moved, making dodging easier.
With this method, the team quickly stabilized.
“Probably only you on this server would think of this,” Hundred Grass Folding said.
After more phases, they reached 20% HP. The boss entered a vulnerable phase. Then, during mechanics, a player got stuck and died, then another disconnected.
But Dark Ink Without Trace used a whip pull, bringing Chenxi into safety, splitting damage with another group.
Finally, after intense fighting, the boss was defeated.
‘Team’ [Chenxi]: I’m exhausted, I don’t want to talk anymore…
‘Team’ [Sunflower]: Vice Guild go loot!
…
The boss dropped high-level gear, including a top-tier weapon for Dark Ink Without Trace.
After distribution, everyone relaxed.
Xia Zichen leaned back, drinking cold coffee.
Gu Xu frowned: “It’s cold, change it.”
“No need.”
At that moment, a private message popped up:
‘Whisper’ [Lotus Consort]: Are you there?
