Ye Shuangluo returned home, only to find an unexpected person at his doorstep.
“Yo, Brother Ye, you finally made it back.”
Ye Shuangluo tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, “Xiao Jianuo, what are you doing at my door?”
At this moment, Xiao Jianuo was dressed in a suit and tie, looking as serious as one could be.
“Of course, I’m waiting for you.”
Ye Shuangluo sized up Xiao Jianuo. He didn’t sense any malice, indicating that the other party had no hostile intentions.
“Is there something you need?”
“Ahem, actually, there’s nothing much. I just came to see you.”
(Hmm, that’s a lie.)
Ye Shuangluo looked at him with a half-smile and said bluntly, “We don’t seem to be that close, do we? Last time, I beat you up pretty badly.”
“Good hit! My family always taught me that without chiseling, jade won’t become a tool. At home, I basically get a small beating every three days, a double beating every five days, and a family bucket once a month. So, Brother Ye, hitting me is helping me. I came specifically to thank you.”
Ye Shuangluo tilted his head, silently thinking to himself, (This is an even bigger lie.)
“So that’s what you think…”
Ye Shuangluo put on a “moved” expression, as if he had found a kindred spirit, and excitedly took out [Mortal Kill].
“So, are you here for a beating today? Don’t be shy, let’s get started.”
“Ahem, ahem, this, this, this.”
Xiao Jianuo’s face turned extremely awkward; it seemed he had overacted.
“The beating can wait. I came to see Brother Ye for something more important.”
Ye Shuangluo nodded. This seemed to be the truth, indicating it was time to discuss serious matters.
He took out his key, opened the door, and casually said to Xiao Jianuo behind him, “Since it’s something important, come in and take your time. No need to change your shoes. But aren’t you able to fly? Why didn’t you just enter through the window instead of waiting at the door?”
(Ha, as if I’d dare.)
This was Xiao Jianuo’s inner thought, but what he actually said was, “Entering someone’s home without permission is impolite.”
(This is also a lie. He hasn’t spoken a single truth.)
Ye Shuangluo sat on the sofa, with [Mortal Kill] resting on his knees. While setting up a stall on Sky Island, he happened to be next to a player who had unlocked a secondary profession and was selling various trinkets they made. So he bought some special cloth strips for weapon maintenance to clean and maintain [Mortal Kill] after battles.
As he carefully wiped the blade, he casually asked, “If you have something to say, hurry up. I’m busy.”
Xiao Jianuo shivered all over. Even though he had completed three trials and become a full-fledged player, why did it feel like the gap between them was widening?
He spent a long time organizing his words, but ultimately gave up and said directly, “Brother Ye, some keyboard warriors don’t deserve to die. There’s really no need to go to such extremes.”
The young man continued to carefully wipe his beloved blade, answering without turning his head, “When did I ever say I wanted to go to extremes? I’m a kind person and never kill the innocent indiscriminately.”
Xiao Jianuo twitched his mouth. He would never forget the terrifying killing aura emanating from the other when they first met. A maniac who had slaughtered at least four figures of living beings claimed to be kind. Sorry, he’d rather believe that the great World Consciousness, the high and mighty server GM, Lady Gaia, would personally contact him.
As if sensing Xiao Jianuo’s skepticism, Ye Shuangluo slowly raised his head, his black eyes instantly turning blood-red, looking at him coldly and mercilessly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t deal with those keyboard warriors because I don’t have that much time. This time, killing a monkey to warn the chickens should keep them in line. If it doesn’t work…”
A gentle smile slowly appeared on Ye Shuangluo’s face, and the [Pluto] on his neck emitted a faint glow.
“Silver, I’ll need your help then.”
Before the words were finished, Silver, clad in silver armor and standing two meters tall, appeared in front of Ye Shuangluo. After appearing, he glanced at Xiao Jianuo indifferently and then knelt on one knee. The violent and terrifying aura emanating from Silver left Xiao Jianuo stunned.
Aren’t you supposed to be pure combat type? How can you summon a creature stronger than my summoning type?
Jealousy, he was so jealous he was about to split at the seams.
All summoning-type players understand one thing: a summon with growth potential doesn’t necessarily have intelligence, but a summon with intelligence must have growth potential.
“King, why not let me tear those wretches apart now? How dare they insult your noble self! I’ll rip all their limbs off and stuff them into their mouths.”
When Silver spoke, it was earth-shattering.
Xiao Jianuo really didn’t know what to say. Do summons take after their masters?
By this time, Ye Shuangluo had finished wiping [Mortal Kill]. He slowly stood up, walked over to Xiao Jianuo, and said, “Silver, no need to rush.”
After calming Silver, he patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder and said word by word, “Xiao Jianuo, you don’t want me to let Silver go on a rampage, do you? You know what to do, right?”
Xiao Jianuo looked at the violent and eager Silver, then at the young man in front of him with a gentle smile.
“…Of course, after tonight, no one in all of Kyushu will dare to say anything insulting about you. If anyone does… I’ll personally take care of it for you.”
Ye Shuangluo patted Xiao Jianuo’s shoulder again and said gently, “Then I’ll trouble you. Are you leaving now, or do you want a beating before you go? I’m very helpful and would love to chisel this piece of jade into shape.”
“Then I’ll trouble Brother Ye, after all, I’m already here.”
…
Before the fight began, Xiao Jianuo thought the battle might last ten minutes, five minutes, or even one minute. But he never expected that once the fight started, he would be completely defeated in just two strikes, falling into a near-death state. The first strike knocked off his “resurrection armor,” and the second left him severely injured.
It was too fast, so fast he couldn’t react at all. He didn’t even have time to summon the Flame Demon before he was utterly defeated. He could even feel that Ye Shuangluo was deliberately holding back during their fight to avoid accidentally killing him. This was an insult, a huge insult to him. But he had no way to resist, because in this battle, the other party didn’t even use the [Mixed Elements] that had defeated him last time.

His own guild name? Ye Shuangluo thought for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a name.
“Moon Chaser”
He couldn’t forget the Purple Moon he encountered in the zombie world. Just because it wanted to, it could treat a world as a toy, and rules were just little trinkets it could manipulate at will. That was the first time after entering the game that he had a goal. He wanted to have power equal to or even far beyond it. This guild name represented his ambition and original intention.
