Chapter 49: Blue Star's First Supporter

Not crying? Xiao Feng saw she finally stopped, and let out a breath.

You big idiot, you dare use a town return scroll while red-named! Xing Yun Miao sniffed, wiping her tears as she stood up.

I did it on purpose. Xiao Feng pursed his lips, refusing to admit he was an idiot.

Xing Yun Miao rubbed her eyes, wiped her tears, and sniffled from time to time; her expression was completely lifelike, with no sense of being in a game world.

Seeing her pitiful yet somewhat stubborn look, Xiao Feng's previously gloomy mood eased considerably.

Ding~ You have a new friend request! the system prompted.

Xing Yun Miao suddenly applied to add him as a friend.

Counting up, this was the third time.

Xiao Feng thought it over and chose to agree.

Take me with you. Xing Yun Miao sniffed, her eyes red, and uttered two words.

Uh... what? Xiao Feng blinked in surprise.

Just moments ago they were fighting, yet suddenly they became friends and she asked him to bring her along—it felt a bit strange.

The girl pressed her lips, also not really wanting to play with him.

But the reward for this quest was too important for her; she really didn't want to give it up.

She could only endure it for now, lowering her voice and responding softly.

First clear your red name. Then we'll do the quest… My support is really strong—I won't leech off your rewards. she said.

Xiao Feng was not really willing inside.

He didn't like playing with women, unless it was like last time with Li Li and Zhang Fan accompanying him; otherwise he'd feel awkward.

But this quest was ultimately caused by Xing Yun Miao; he had seized half the opportunity, so not bringing her along would be hard to justify.

Moreover, the quest description clearly stated they had to go together.

Xiao Feng thought it over, seeing no way to refuse, and nodded: "Alright, I'll take you to the Abyss later. But we still have to wait an hour for the cooldown to reset."

He had a way to get to the Abyss: the bottom-level teleport gate of the level 75 dungeon, Silver Mine Cave, led straight to the Abyss World.

However, the main storyline dungeon allowed only one entry per day, and after more than an hour the game time would shift, refreshing the dungeon cooldown.

Join the party. Xing Yun Miao sent him a party invitation.

Afterward, they headed off in a direction.

Near Wind Fury City, monster levels were generally low; the two of them, one level 39 and the other level 59, killing level 20–30 monsters to clear their red names would take a very long time.

Therefore they could only choose to go to a more distant level‑50 monster map.

Walking along, Xing Yun Miao breathed in some cool air; her red‑rimmed eyes and nose gradually returned to normal.

Arriving at the monster area, she took out her magic book and cast a few skills at Xiao Feng.

Teammate Xing Yun Miao used 【Moonlight Blessing】 on you!

Teammate Xing Yun Miao used 【Night Sovereign】 on you!

Teammate Xing Yun Miao used 【Moonlight Guard】 on you!

The three skills are all beneficial buffs.

Xiao Feng opened his status window and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Moonlight Blessing: ATK +10%, physical/magic DEF +10%, recovers 50 HP per second, lasts 30 seconds.

Night Sovereign: ATK +30%, movement speed +30%, crit rate +30%, lasts 20 seconds.

Moonlight Guard: physical/magic DEF +30%, nullifies one instance of damage received, lasts 30 seconds.

The first state is fairly ordinary—it boosts offense and defense and gives an auto‑heal effect, but the values aren't high.

The latter two states, however, are quite strong!

Raising offense, defense, and crit each by 30% is equivalent to jumping up more than ten levels all at once!

Moreover, it has the effect of nullifying one hit of damage!

Isn't this the same kind of special shield that the Witch Mienieya uses to nullify his skill attacks?

This nullification seems to ignore the damage amount entirely—whether it's –1 or 100 million damage, it's simply disregarded, similar to a "Holy Shield" effect.

Under the three buffs, Xiao Feng's attack surged to 1141, and both his defenses rose greatly.

At this moment, he began to somewhat acknowledge Xing Yun Miao's claim of being the "top support."

A first‑transition priest's buff is merely a +15% attack Courage Blessing; even if he learns other skills, he can at most add around +10% defense.

But she, with three states in a row, already has an effect stronger than a second‑transition priest, even comparable to a third‑transition priest.

After casting the skills, Xing Yun Miao said nothing, silently throwing 【Moonlight Punishment】 to pull monsters.

But all the while she was secretly glancing at Xiao Feng from the corner of her eye, hoping to see a look of surprise on his face.

She was very confident in her own buff skills!

Without exaggeration, anyone who has received her buff will, after parting ways, miss the days of teaming up with her.

Even the person ranked first on the level rankings would surely feel awesome!

Xiao Feng's slight look of surprise had already been noticed by her.

"Hmph, such a tiny reaction—he's definitely pretending to be calm. Stupid guy, putting on a deep front!" Xing Yun Miao thought to herself.

Xiao Feng had already started killing monsters to clear his red name.

Lightning Arrow!

Fireball!

Magic Missile!

-31971991

-29810012

-14091983

One by one, huge damage numbers appeared above the monsters' heads.

Only monsters with less than 10000 HP could not withstand this astonishing damage, dying without leaving a trace.

Xiao Feng strode forward, seeking monsters and dealing damage while holding his head high and chest out, full of confidence.

While fighting, he also furtively glanced at Xing Yun Miao out of the corner of his eye.

His damage was terrifying; no teammate could remain calm after witnessing it.

It's no exaggeration to say that anyone who has teamed up with him will fondly remember the days of following behind him to leech experience!

Xing Yun Miao's face showed a hint of surprise, but she was still calmer than expected.

Xiao Feng was not surprised by this.

Because he knows women are petty; Xing Yun Miao suffered a loss here, surely hates him to death, so she deliberately acts calm to make him feel like his act of pretending to be cool has failed, thereby striking his confidence!

Little did he know, how childish this is!

The two remained silent, each with their own thoughts.

However, the efficiency of killing monsters to wash away red status was quite fast.

Xiao Feng used one skill per monster, occasionally casting Rainstorm Technique and Gale Technique to clear the whole map.

Xing Yun Miao initially used single-target damage skills to help pull monsters, but later she stayed still, only giving him a buff.

The Moon Witch's three support skills: only 'Night Sovereign' has a 40-second gap, while the other two, like Earth Elemental Shield, have a 30-second cooldown and can be perfectly chained without interruption.

Therefore, when teamed with Xing Yun Miao, Xiao Feng's constant attack power is 10% higher than usual, reaching 896 points.

Clearing 50 points of Sin Value is still relatively fast; in just 10 minutes, Xiao Feng recovered his White Name.

"Where to now?" Xing Yun Miao broke the silence, speaking first.

Xiao Feng checked the system time and replied, "There's still an hour until the reset; we can't enter the dungeon now, so let's do something else first."

"A dungeon?" Xing Yun Miao sounded doubtful.

He explained the connection between the Silver Mine Cave and Shen Yuan Shijie.

After listening, Xing Yun Miao nodded and said, "Alright, we'll go later. First, let's find someone."

"Find someone? Who?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Dai Ni Si."

Xing Yun Miao pursed her lips and walked back the way they came.

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng froze.

Dai Ni Si is that NPC girl who constantly asks for money and likes to stage fake accidents to extort others.

Having been scammed by her once, Xing Yun Miao means to go get her revenge.

"Your damage is high; help me subdue her and get the money back. We'll split whatever we recover." Xing Yun Miao said while walking.

"No need to split the money; it's just a trivial effort." Xiao Feng said indifferently.

"No way! I won't take others' benefits for free; if I help, I must be compensated!"

"Uh... fine, fine, whatever you say."

Recalling how she had blocked him twice over five silver coins, Xiao Feng decisively abandoned the idea of bargaining with her.

After a dozen or so minutes, Fury Wind City came into view.

On the small bridge outside the city, the blonde girl Dai Ni Si in a white dress still held a bouquet of wildflowers, wandering back and forth while humming an unknown tune.

Xing Yun Miao clenched her fists and softly hummed, "Come on, beat her!"
