Chapter 131: B-rank Game

"Well... it actually works!"

"Yu Xiaomo stared in shock at the female ghost Xiao Rou wearing black silk that doubled her attack speed, her eyes full of disbelief."

"\"How about it, I didn't say you could think of it? \""

"Zhang Jie raised his chin at Yu Xiaomo and said proudly."

"\"Indeed.... \""

"Yu Xiaomo, unusually, did not retort tsundere-like at Zhang Jie, but instead nodded in agreement."

"Then, Zhang Jie watched helplessly as Yu Xiaomo summoned a bunch of summons, then began continuously putting black silk on them."

"Zhang Jie:....."

"He looked at the stone golem over two meters tall, with a stocking on its head, and fell into thought...."

"Good news, Yu Xiaomo no longer needs to dress so strangely."

"Bad news, Yu Xiaomo's summons are going to suffer...."

"For humanoid female summons, it's fine—equipping black silk boosts their looks, but male summons and non-human summons are doomed."

"Yu Xiaomo simply put the black silk directly on their heads, turning the perfectly good summon legion into a bandit den."

"And Yu Xiaomo also successfully became the bandit leader."

"Thinking of the scene later where Yu Xiaomo's summons each wear black silk and fight, Zhang Jie couldn't help but want to laugh."

"This scene is too fantastical, simply unbearable to watch."

"Yu Xiaomo also seemed to realize this was a bit abstract, turned her head and saw Zhang Jie secretly stifling laughter beside her, and immediately her little face darkened."

"\"What are you laughing at! \""

"\"Sorry, I thought of something happy. \""

"\"Zhang Jie!! \""

"Yu Xiaomo, furious, immediately commanded her over-two-meter-tall stone golem to step forward and directly grabbed Zhang Jie."

"Zhang Jie, completely unprepared, had a dazed expression as the stone golem lifted him up, looking at Yu Xiaomo with a wicked grin, her small hands constantly pulling at a stocking, slowly approaching Zhang Jie."

"\"What do you want to do? \""

"\"Of course... \""

"Yu Xiaomo lunged forward instantly, spreading the stocking with both hands, aiming to put it on Zhang Jie's head."

"\"Showing off my ugliness!! \""

"Dong!"

"\"Ouch! \""

"A mere stone golem couldn't possibly restrain Zhang Jie; the next moment, a big bump appeared on Yu Xiaomo's head."

"\"You little brat, still want to mess with your brother Jie. \""

"Zhang Jie disdainfully clapped his hands, still saying \"Showing off my ugliness! \""

"\"Laughing to death, a panel monster with no mechanics, just numbers, could be toyed with by this little trick of Yu Xiaomo? \""

"Sniff...."

"Yu Xiaomo held her head, sniffling, looking at Zhang Jie with a pitiful gaze."

"\"Ouch!! \""

"I didn't expect Zhang Jie not to buy this; he gave another blow to the bump on her head, really hurting Yu Xiaomo."

"\"Are you still going to do the stunt? \""

"\"Not doing it, wrong... \""

"Yu Xiaomo became honest, then Zhang Jie satisfiedly clapped his hands."

"\"Alright, stop doing all that nonsense, quickly see if you can stack the buff. \""

"Soon after...."

"\"Not useful... \""

"Yu Xiaomo looked at the stone golem with thick black silk on its head, her expression inevitably somewhat disappointed."

"\"Alright, alright, it's normal for this not to succeed; otherwise what else do you want? \""

"Facing this greedy little female ghost who still wants to exploit a bug, Zhang Jie gave her head a moderate pat."

"\"Anything else? If not, I'm leaving—I'm quite busy. \""

"Now Zhang Jie has already advanced to D-rank intermediate player, having cleared 8 D-rank games, meaning he only needs to clear two more D-rank games to advance to high-rank player."

"Player rankings range from F to SSS, and each rank has its own player title."

"Specifically: Newbie Player (F), Junior Player (E), Intermediate Player (D), Advanced Player (C), Elite Player (B), Master Player (A), and the Divine Player (SSS) representing the highest combat power."

"Notably, the ranks from A to SS are uniformly called Master, and only SSS players deserve the Divine title."

"And the legendary \"Ultimate Player\" transcends even the SSS Divine Player, rated as \"X\"."

"Exactly, it's just a simple X, yet it carries the authority of the entire Dream Online."

"\"Wait! \""

"Seeing Zhang Jie about to leave, Yu Xiaomo pondered a moment, mustered courage, and called out to Zhang Jie."

"\"What's up? \""

"Zhang Jie turned around, but saw Yu Xiaomo walking up with a grin, clearing her throat."

"\"Cough cough! \""

"\"Zhang Jie! Want to team up with me to tackle a B-rank game! \""

"\"This miss sincerely invites you! How about it! Want to team up with me! \""

"Yu Xiaomo raised her head, as if reciting lines, speaking these sentences, her expression still somewhat unnatural."

Zhang Jie gave Yu Xiaomo a strange look, feeling rather puzzled.

What's this little brat up to again?

oioi! You little thing, when asking for help you need to show some attitude!

If you want me to bring you, just say it straight; don't mess around with all this unnecessary fuss.

Hearing Zhang Jie say that, Yu Xiaomo slumped down, constantly complaining in her heart.

Wasn't it said that showing some agreement and being a bit more proactive would be enough?

As expected, everything online is a lie! This trick simply doesn't work on Zhang Jie at all!

In the end, Yu Xiaomo still decided to discard all those random things said online and revert to the way she was most familiar with interacting with Zhang Jie.

Fine... alright!

Please! Take me with you, Jie Ge!

Ah, that's more like it!

Zhang Jie was extremely satisfied, turned around and walked back to Yu Xiaomo's side.

Speak up! What game do you want Jie Ge to guide you through?

Seeing Zhang Jie's smug look, Yu Xiaomo helplessly curled her lips and replied.

"B-grade open-world, 'Phantom Beast'"

'Phantom Beast', huh.

Zhang Jie pondered for a moment, and information about this game gradually surfaced.

'Phantom Beast', an open-world game whose main gameplay is capturing various powerful phantom beasts; players can capture phantom beasts to use as mounts, to fight for themselves, or even have them work for them.

And because of the game's inhumane way of using those cute phantom beasts, many players jokingly call it the 'Hey Slave Simulator'.

'If you won't do it, there are plenty of phantom beasts that will!'

This line became a catchphrase for countless players at the time, all teasing the phantom beasts.

Nevertheless, despite that, this B-rated game remains the top choice for countless players wanting to pursue a summoner build.

I suppose Yu Xiaomo thought the same, which is why she wanted Zhang Jie to bring her along.

'Alright, get ready; once I finish guiding these two D-grade games I have in hand, we'll go together.'

'Great! Thanks, Jie Ge!'
