Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Shocking ’Bad News

Time until the Demon Hunt event starts: 19:21:18

Lin Yi heard the knock and logged out of the game to open the door.

Outside the door, Zhang Xinying handed a big bag of things to a bewildered Lin Yi,

“I ordered too much food and can’t finish it. Since you haven’t eaten, I packed some for you.”

“Ordered too much?”

Mu Lingxue suddenly popped out from the side, looking strange,

“How come I remember this is your back… mmm mmm mmm~”

Zhang Xinying quickly covered Mu Lingxue’s mouth and said to Lin Yi:

“Anyway, I brought it for you, don’t overthink it!”

At this moment, Mu Lingxue suddenly broke free from Zhang Xinying’s hand,

“I say, Yi Ling, if you’re being harassed, just let me know, I’ll help you report it to the police!”

Zhang Xinying, furious, dragged Mu Lingxue up the stairs,

“Xue’Er, what nonsense are you talking about!”

“I say Xinying, you don’t have a crush on him, do you?”

“How is that possible!”

“Then how come you’ve been so…”

Watching the two girls go upstairs, their voices grew quieter until they entered Mu Lingxue’s room and suddenly fell silent.

Looking at the big bag of food in his hands, Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile,

“This is way too much!”

Turning around and closing the door, Lin Yi headed straight to Red Eyes’ villa.

When Lin Yi entered, Red Eyes was in the living room watching TV with a little girl.

Hearing the door open, Wang Sijie turned to see Lin Yi,

“Wind Boss, you’re here.”

Lin Yi placed the food Zhang Xinying packed on the table and said:

“Have you eaten?”

Wang Sijie looked a bit embarrassed and said:

“I was just about to go buy something.”

“That’s perfect, no need to go out, let’s just have this. I can’t finish it all by myself anyway.”

Not sure what Zhang Xinying was thinking, Lin Yi brought back a whole grilled fish.

Even though I love eating it, this is way too much.

“Wow, grilled fish!”

Lin Yi looked at the little girl’s excited face,

“You like it too?”

Maybe it’s because of the food, but the girl wasn’t as standoffish towards Lin Yi as before and quickly nodded,

“Like it.”

Lin Yi laughed along with the girl,

“Then eat more.”

Before long, the three of them were eating heartily after overcoming their initial hesitance.

Luckily, the fish had no bones, so there was no worry about the little girl choking on fishbones.

“Has Zixin started school yet?” Lin Yi suddenly asked.

Before Red Eyes could answer, the girl showed a face of resistance and said:

“I don’t want to study, don’t want to go to school.”

At this moment, Wang Sijie explained from the side:

“Because my sister was born with Abnormal Eyes, she’s often teased by other kids her age, so now she’s very afraid of crowded places.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi looked at the girl’s delicate face, burdened with such a heavy psychological load. It made his heart ache — if even he as an outsider felt this way, how much more so her brother, Red Eyes.

“When you play games, is she always like this, by herself?”

Wang Sijie nodded helplessly,

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Lin Yi thought for a moment:

“Have you thought about letting her try playing games?”

“Playing games?”

Wang Sijie was momentarily stunned, then realized,

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?”

Lin Yi:

“She’s bored at home alone anyway, maybe she’ll make more friends in the game.”

“At least no one in the game will exclude her because of that.”

Wang Sijie nodded repeatedly,

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll order her a gaming helmet right now.”

Lin Yi stopped Wang Sijie’s actions and said,

“Don’t rush, wait two more days for the game capsules to come out, and I’ll order one for you both.”

“This…”

Looking at Lin Yi, Wang Sijie felt a string in his heart being plucked, emotionally gazing at the person before him,

“Wind Bro, thank you!”

Wiping away the tears welling up in his eyes, Wang Sijie said,

“How much is a game capsule? Maybe I should give you the money. You’ve helped us so much, I can’t let you spend more on us.”

“Hehe~”

Lin Yi picked up a tissue from the side and wiped his mouth, then patted Wang Sijie’s shoulder seriously,

“One day you’ll understand, these are all deserved by you.”

Just as Lin Yi was about to get up, Wang Zixin suddenly asked:

“Big brother, are you leaving?”

“Yes, big brother is full and needs to go back to sleep!”

“Wait, big brother!”

Wang Zixin tugged at the dazed Wang Sijie,

“Hurry and push me to my room.”

“Oh, okay!”

The recovering Wang Sijie pushed the girl back to her room.

After Lin Yi waited for a while, the little girl was pushed in front by Wang Sijie.

Looking at the shy little girl, Lin Yi crouched down and asked:

“What’s wrong?”

Suddenly, the girl opened her hands and handed a string of pearl bracelet to Lin Yi, while lowering her head and whispering:

“This is for big brother, I hope you like it.”

“This is my sister’s favorite bracelet, she never even let me touch it, it’s immensely precious.”

Seeing his sister’s action, even Wang Sijie, as her brother, was a bit surprised.

Seeing Lin Yi in a daze, Wang Sijie, worried that Lin Yi might dislike it, couldn’t help but explain.

Looking at the pearl bracelet in the small hand that seemed very cheap and ordinary, Lin Yi, after an initial shock, quickly came back to his senses.

Gently taking the bracelet, he carefully put it on his hand. Lin Yi smiled and patted the little girl’s head and said:

“I really like it, thank you!”

“Really?”

Upon hearing Lin Yi say he liked it, the girl was so excited that she raised her head, with a pure childlike smile on her face.

Lin Yi also started laughing, “Really!”

“Hehe, with that, we’re friends now too!”

“Mm.”

At this moment, Lin Yi said to Wang Sijie:

“Join the Famous Guild tomorrow, I have plans.”

Saying so, Lin Yi left the villa without looking back.

Standing outside the villa, a cold wind swept over.

Not knowing if it was the wind, there was a glisten of light in Lin Yi’s eyes.

Through the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the two siblings inside, smiling and happily enjoying their meal, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face.

Time before the demon hunting event starts: 6:30:46

Early next morning

Lin Yi got up, after a quick wash, was ready to go out for breakfast, but found a cup of soy milk, two buns, and an egg hanging on the door handle.

Glancing at the tightly closed door opposite, not caring whether the person could hear or not, Lin Yi shouted towards the other side:

“Thank you!”

After hastily eating breakfast, Lin Yi couldn’t wait any longer and logged into the game.

This bet was too important, and Lin Yi had to prepare in advance to avoid any mistakes.

Whether it was for the Elf Race or Aifula, he absolutely could not lose.

Lin Yi had just logged in when he received a voice request from Shuai Diao Zha.

After pressing cancel, Lin Yi sent a message to Shuai Diao Zha:

“I have something very important today, let’s talk about whatever it is tomorrow.”

After sending it, Lin Yi went to a secluded place to change into the Elf King’s Concealment.

When Lin Yi arrived at Cyan Dragon City, he found the city unusually lively today.

Moreover, he saw squads of city defense troops running outside the city amid exclamations.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi was somewhat taken aback,

Could it be that the Demon Race was attacking the city? Why even deploy the city defense forces?

At first, Lin Yi didn’t think much and directly contacted Shuai Diao Zha, asking him to meet at the tavern’s private room in the city.

As soon as they met, Shuai Diao Zha, looking aggrieved, said:

“Under the Elf King’s crown, the City Lord was too despicable, we are doomed to lose!”

Lin Yi was shocked,

“What happened?”

Shuai Diao Zha, looking full of grievances, said:

“Today’s scheduled stronghold defense battle has been postponed!”

“What?!”

Lin Yi (Elf King) immediately slapped the table and stood up, looking bewildered (serious): How the hell can this still be played like this?!

Originally, Lin Yi chose the Famous Guild precisely because of today’s stronghold defense battle?

As long as they won the stronghold defense battle, the guild would have an additional thousand people, and it would be hard to lose then!

But to Lin Yi’s shock, they unexpectedly postponed the stronghold defense battle?

The City Lord is really adept at this crafty move!

Just as Lin Yi was feeling a sense of righteous indignation over Babylon’s despicableness, Shuai Diao Zha shared even more despairing news:

“Moreover, all the leveling points around Cyan Dragon City from level 10 to 12 are now blocked by the City Lord’s Mansion’s military forces. No one can enter except for those from the Ice and Snow Illusion City.”

Lin Yi (Elf King): “Pfft~ Damn!”
