Chapter 21 – Second Miss Su, Su Jinyan


“Ding~ Welcome to the Otherworld! Your current location is the Second World: Zombie Siege!”

A white light descended, and Zhang Yue was born in Nottingham City.

Without a second thought, Zhang Yue immediately set off for the garrison camp located in the western part of Nottingham City.

A ten-minute journey.

When Zhang Yue arrived at the garrison camp, he saw a vast camp with only one solitary figure hunting Flame Zombies!

Zhang Yue’s eyes lit up.

Because he saw that Su Jinyan was different from others when killing monsters.

She was attacking zombies while… dancing??

Tap tap tap tap~

Her light steps were full of joy.

She elegantly waved her staff, attacking the Flame Zombies.

Under the moonlight, she became a beautiful sight in Zhang Yue’s eyes!

Zhang Yue couldn’t help but smile and walked over.

“So cheerful.”

Zhang Yue’s greeting interrupted Su Jinyan’s dance.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Zhang Yue, Su Jinyan quickly stopped, her face turning red in an instant!

“When… when did you get here?”

“Just now.” Zhang Yue walked past Su Jinyan with his staff: “Nice dance, very rhythmic.”

“Let’s start the mission.”

Watching Zhang Yue’s back, Su Jinyan clutched her robe tightly, her face flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it.

Inner thoughts: “Oh my god! Su Jinyan, what are you doing!”

“You knew he was coming after dinner, and you were still dancing here. How embarrassing!”

“It’s over, my image is ruined…”

At this moment, Zhang Yue turned back to look at Su Jinyan and said, “We can start now.”

“Mm, okay!” Su Jinyan held her staff, looking down at the ground, too embarrassed to look at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue quickly got into the zone.

He locked onto a Level 12 Flame Zombie ahead.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

Ice Spike to start, freezing the Flame Zombie.

Fireball and Flame Missile, continuously bombarding the Flame Zombie.

A series of damage numbers appeared above the Flame Zombie’s head—

-475! Freeze!

-266! Burn!

-105! -105! -158 Critical!

A set of skills directly one-shot killed the zombie!

Seeing this, Su Jinyan was stunned.

“I’ve always had a question,” Su Jinyan asked Zhang Yue, “Why is your damage so high?”

“Because I’m a Mythic Grade Professional.”

Su Jinyan raised her eyebrows: “I don’t believe it! Mythic Grade Professionals cause phenomena during awakening, and there were no phenomena on this year’s Awakening Day. There were no Mythic Grade Professionals born this year!”

Su Jinyan was right.

What she didn’t know was that Zhang Yue’s profession didn’t come from awakening~

Knowing Su Jinyan wouldn’t believe him, Zhang Yue said, “Believe it or not.”

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk, Su Jinyan didn’t press further.

She started teaming up with Zhang Yue to hunt Flame Zombies.

Actually, Su Jinyan’s damage wasn’t low, because her Epic Grade profession had high growth, and the staff in her hand was a 2-star Golden Attribute early-stage divine weapon bought by her sister Su Jin Ya for a full hundred thousand on the black market!

But compared to Zhang Yue’s damage, it seemed much inferior.

With Zhang Yue as a magic turret, Su Jinyan obediently played support.

Each of her skills could immobilize enemies, giving Zhang Yue more room to output!

During the process, Zhang Yue couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your profession’s effect?”

“All control-type skills convert control effects to immobilization and increase control duration by 30%, and all skills add an extra second of immobilization and reduce all skill cooldowns by 30%.”

Hearing what Su Jinyan said, Zhang Yue thoughtfully said, “No wonder…”

This Epic Grade profession, while not the most powerful, was definitely terrifying!

Because her control power was too frightening!

“You know, I used to think I’d be an ordinary person for the rest of my life.”

As a Fireball spell helped Zhang Yue kill the current Flame Zombie, Su Jinyan said to Zhang Yue, “You gave me a chance to be reborn!”

“Being an ordinary person isn’t so bad.” Zhang Yue picked up a fire-type zombie core dropped by the Flame Zombie and said, “At least you don’t have to deal with the Grim Reaper every day.”

“But what’s the point of such an ordinary life?” Su Jinyan raised her staff, looking at the moon through the crystal-clear staff, and murmured, “It’s like a soulless shell.”

Because Zhang Yue’s damage was high, he usually got the last hit.

So, teaming up with Su Jinyan, Zhang Yue could still get 100% of the full kill experience.

But the copper coins and zombie cores had to be split with Su Jinyan.

However, with Su Jinyan, the Epic Grade Forbidden Mage, assisting, Zhang Yue’s efficiency in killing monsters increased significantly!

In the blink of an eye, it was 11 PM.

Zhang Yue had collected 100 fire-type zombie cores and reached Level 12, 91%.

Feeling sleepy.

Zhang Yue said to Su Jinyan, “Let’s call it a day, I need to rest.”

“Huh? It’s not even midnight yet…” Su Jinyan seemed a bit reluctant.

“Alright then~”

After a pause, Su Jinyan looked at Zhang Yue and tentatively asked, “So… will we team up again tomorrow?”

“Sure.”

Zhang Yue’s affirmative answer made Su Jinyan inexplicably happy inside.

But she pretended to be calm on the outside: “Okay, let’s head back then, I’m actually tired too!”

So, the two returned to Nottingham City and logged off.

Back in his rented apartment in the real world, Zhang Yue received a Feixin message:

“Su Ya has requested to add you as a friend through the Feixin group! Note: I’m Su Jinyan.”

Zhang Yue looked at the message and accepted the request.

Soon, Su Jinyan sent a message:

“Good night! (Happy)”

“Good night.” Zhang Yue replied.

Just as he was about to put down his phone and sleep, he accidentally clicked on Su Jinyan’s Feixin profile picture.

Might as well take a look…

So, Zhang Yue entered Su Jinyan’s Feixin space.

To his surprise, Su Jinyan, who hadn’t set any privacy restrictions, had her most recent post from three years ago!

Successful, yet not successful. Failed, yet not failed. (Frustrated)

It was clear that this post was made on the day Su Jinyan awakened her special profession, Plague Mage, three years ago!

Before that, Su Jinyan’s posts were mostly about food, drinks, fun, and many selfies with friends, showing she was a very cheerful and optimistic girl.

The Plague Mage profession shattered all of Su Jinyan’s happiness and dreams.

Until today… Su Jinyan updated her status a second ago:

Today is my rebirth day!

Go Su Jinyan, you are the best!

Below the caption was a selfie of Su Jinyan.

Long eyelashes, big eyes, and a sparkle in her eyes, with a smile on her face.

One had to admit, Su Jinyan was very beautiful!

And she had the kind of beauty that grows on you, making it hard to look away.

Zhang Yue turned off his phone, plugged in the charger, and went to sleep.

At the same time.

In the Su family’s villa in the western district of Coastal City.

Just after taking a bath and changing into pink bear pajamas, Su Jinyan comfortably lay on her bed, picked up her phone, opened Feixin, and checked her 99+ notifications.

Under the post she made twenty minutes ago, comments flooded in:

Pang Dahai: Yo, isn’t this Miss Su? Haven’t seen you post in three years! Rare sight!

Chen Xin (high school classmate): Even more beautiful, you’ve become someone I can’t reach…

Second Uncle (Su Hua): Congratulations, and also congratulations to our Su family for having the first Epic Grade Professional in history!

Sister (Su Jin Ya): It’s just the first day, don’t push yourself too hard, health is most important, rest early. Also, you’ve always been the best, believe in yourself!

Su Jinyan scrolled through the comments, but it seemed she didn’t see the comment she wanted to see…

Then she checked the likes, but it seemed she didn’t see the person she wanted to see…

Su Jinyan felt inexplicably disappointed.

Murmuring, “He must be asleep…”

Su Jinyan quickly shook her head.

“Oh Su Jinyan! What are you thinking? You just met him today!”

“Stop overthinking, you have to level up tomorrow, sleep!”
