Exiting the quest scene, Qin Ruo was standing at the warp portal, as if he was still in a dream. He kept staring at the Water-type Divinity in his backpack in disbelief—as though it was not true.

There was actually a reward of Divinity for the Advancement Quest!

Fortunately, Hollow Cast’s voice had transmitted over in a timely manner. While congratulating him on his advancement, he informed Qin Ruo that the Trading Hall had already notified the owners of the other five Divinity, and he was to immediately bring the Thunder Divinity to the Trading Hall.

After agreeing to go there, Qin Ruo suddenly felt like he did not know whether to laugh or cry…

He had passed the Advancement Quest, but suddenly two pieces of Water Divinity appeared at the same time. How was he to deal with the extra one?

Forget it, better to talk after he had gotten his hands on the Water Divinity!

With quick steps, Qin Ruo entered the bank vault located near the warp portal. As he was retrieving the Thunder Divinity Crystal, his eyes suddenly fell upon two Chromatic-tier items in the vault—a robe and bracers.

The bracers was a quest reward obtained from Darius of the Buried City. The Mystic Frost Robe was obtained from a trade made by Hollow Cast using the Darkscale Skelewing Robe with another player yesterday. Both items had surprisingly similar good attributes, and coincidentally both players belonged to classes that the other party needed to trade equipment from, thus the trade had proceeded quite smoothly.

Retrieving the two pieces of Tier 5 Legendary equipment from the vault, Qin Ruo bundled up the Blackwater Magic Robe and the Bladefrost Gauntlet before sending them to Xiaoxiao who had already risen to Level 45.

When the two Legendary equipment of the Robe and Gauntlets were attached to the body, the entire person’s image and grandeur would be increased by multiple-fold instantly.

When he came out of the bank, Qin Ruo felt that he was just like a thousand-watt light bulb. Wherever he went, he would attract the envious gazes of countless players.

Even when he entered Moonrise City, this situation did not improve. Instead, it seemed to have gotten more intense.

In the streets of Moonrise City, wherever he went, players avoided him one after the other.

Beneath the cover of his cloak, Qin Ruo could clearly sense the attention or fearful gazes cast upon him by the surrounding players. After reaching Level 50, his character information could not be viewed by ordinary players (except Bowmasters).

The eyes of these players were filled with doubt as they were guessing the identity and background of this Aquamancer armed with three pieces of Legendary and Dark Gold equipment each!

***

The moment he stepped into Casanova’s Trading Hall, it was filled with Champion-level players who were all struck in awe by Qin Ruo’s high-profile appearance.

“How is it that he’s here too?!”

“The Winter Demon!”

The majority of the players in the Trading Hall were not Bowmasters, so they could not view much information regarding Qin Ruo. However, based on the Dark Gold Water Dragon’s Staff in Qin Ruo’s hand, they correctly guessed his identity in an instant.

Following a few Bowmasters who had exposed Qin Ruo’s level, the entire Trading bustled with excitement within a split second.

“Tier 5 already?!”

“He has also advanced?!”

“This time, Netherspirit’s Claw would have a problem.”

“Three pieces of Legendary Grade and three pieces of Dark Gold Equipment; this brat’s family must be extraordinarily wealthy.”

Inside the lounge, players engaged in spirited discussions.

Qin Ruo did not bother with the players’ discussion of him in the lounge. With a faint smile on his face, he went up to greet Hollow Cast.

***

“Business is booming!”

“Haha…Thanks to your lucky influence!” Hollow Cast expressed his pleasant surprise as he took the initiative to greet Qin Ruo who had come over after having just advanced to Tier 5. The two tacitly reached out and shook each other’s hands.

‘This is not your style.’

Hollow Cast’s words reached Qin Ruo’s ears by through whisper.

The latter naturally understood the profound meaning contained within Hollow Cast’s comment, and with a glance at the complicated situation in the lounge, smiled gently. “Coming here to your Trading Hall; of course one must dress to impress. Otherwise, wouldn’t it make your Trading Hall lose face?”

Hollow Cast did not expect Qin Ruo’s reply to his comment. After stumbling a bit, he shook his head with laughter. Pointing to the corner of the lounge, he said, “Four have already arrived. You go on up ahead first, I will join you shortly.”

Qin Ruo nodded.

Inside the VIP lounge, very few players were vaguely aware that such unusual behavior of the Trading Hall was due to a good play that would be staged today. When they saw that Qin Ruo was also one of the Trading Hall’s invited guests, these few players all expressed shock and disbelief at the same time.

***

“Hey!”

Just as he had arrived on the second floor, a voice rang near Qin Ruo’s ears.

Qin Ruo turned around. He saw a Berserker similarly equipped with a few Legendary and Dark Gold equipment, with hands folded against his chest, leaning half a meter against the outside wall.

“So you’re the Winter Demon?”

“Qin Ruo.”

The nickname “Winter Demon” was what others had called him by after all. Qin Ruo stopped to provide his name.

“I know that your name is Qin Ruo. You’ve quite a reputation, it just so happens that you have also reached Tier 5… how about it? After imbuing Divinity… any thoughts of dueling with me?” The unknown proud Berserker seemed to be intrigued by the nickname “Winter Demon”. He had shifted his examining gaze away. Without another glance at Qin Ruo, he spoke with an air of extraordinary arrogance and issued a challenge against Qin Ruo.

Puzzled, Qin Ruo cast a glance at this unfamiliar Berserker in front of him. Qin Ruo knitted his brows slightly, feeling that this guy seemed to have a deep prejudice against him.

“Do you dare?”

The Berserker saw that Qin Ruo did not speak, and thus impatiently asked again.

“…”

His previous bafflement had turned into a bad feeling, so Qin Ruo quickly shifted his gaze away and walked into the lounge, heading towards Casanova who was waiting inside.

“Hey you! Stop right there!”

When the Berserker saw that Qin Ruo had rudely walked away, he ran up to him darkly and grumbled. “F*ck! Don’t tell me that you don’t even have the guts? Still have the nerve to be called the Winter Demon?”

Qin Ruo did not give any response at all. He merely shifted his gaze to look at the owner of this place, Casanova.

Being the owner of the Trading Hall, in addition to the fact that this was the VIP lounge where only the prestigious and top-tier players could enter, Casanova also felt extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Berserker.

“Psycho Demon!”

With a sullen face, Casanova stared at the Berserker who was chasing behind Qin Ruo. He then reprimanded coldly, “Those who had come here are all my honorable guests. If you do not want to be blacklisted by Casanova’s Trading Hall, then you better stop before going too far!”

The Berserker addressed as Psycho Demon immediately held his tongue. Facing H&G’s newest merchant, Casanova’s words nevertheless had a powerful force of deterrence. The moment he was seriously angered and decided to ban a certain player from entering the Trading Hall, that player would definitely be out of luck.

Being unruly did not mean that he was a fool. Behind Qin Ruo, Psycho Demon compromised by shrugging. He no longer spoke any words to infuriate Qin Ruo.

Casanova’s expression somewhat cleared a little, and after an apologetic gaze to Qin Ruo, addressed the five people present, “There is still a guest who hasn’t arrived. If there is no objection, let me introduce each of you first? How about it?”

At this time, Qin Ruo had secretly called out the inquiry system and searched for specific information about the Berserker. Based on his previous words, the other party had revealed a very important information.

Psycho Demon had also advanced to Tier 5.

However, he did not have any clan insignia on his chest, so this guy was either a solo player with absolute strength or a champion kept hidden by a certain group.

No matter what kind of person, Qin Ruo wanted to know why this guy always made him a target in his speech.

Psycho Demon:

Level 50 Titanwraith Berserker

Squad: N/A

Clan: N/A

Affiliated League: None

Has 207 Honor Points

Member of the Angel Faction

Aside from the Level and Honor Points which were more eye-catching, other information was practically useless.

Wrinkling his brow, he then saw that Casanova had cast a meaningful glance over, seeking confirmation whether he could announce personal information to the other people present.

Qin Ruo was indifferent, since Psycho Demon had already revealed his identity. Having no intention of concealing his identity, he nodded, and then looked at the two unknown men and a woman.

Five people had chosen to agree.

Casanova smiled and clasped his hands together. “That’s good! Let’s go according to the order of your arrival: Samsara Clan’s Leader Apocalypse, Level 50 Aeromancer, advanced to Tier 5 four days ago…” The man on the left of Casanova nodded, which was confirmation of his identity.

“Apocalypse. F*ck, the name sounds quite ambitious. Unfortunately the person and clan are not very famous.” Psycho Demon snorted behind Qin Ruo.

Although Qin Ruo could not see the expression on the Berserker’s face, judging from the expression on Casanova’s face, that bastard’s expression when he talked must be asking for a good thrashing. In contrast, the expression on Apocalypse’s face, being the one ridiculed by Psycho Demon, did not show even the slightest degree of emotional inclination, and was flatly staring ahead without even looking at the Berserker.

“Fine, fine… I won’t say anything more.”

Seeing Casanova glare at him, Psycho Demon also knew that he must not continue to provoke Casanova. Offend him, and one could not be sure that Psycho Demon would not be kicked out of the Trading Hall in the next second. At that time, who should he seek for Divinity?

“Blazing Angel Clan’s Field Commander, Corrupt Lord currently Level 49 Zephyr Swordmaster.”

‘Tier 4 player, how did he obtain Divinity?’ Qin Ruo frowned and eagerly glanced at the person. The equipment he had and his outward appearance did not stand out. It was a world of difference in comparison to the radiant female player beside him, who had almost entered the Trading Hall at the same time as him.

“Daisywave Level 50 Radiant Swordmaster, currently a lone ranger, pleased to make your acquaintance.”

The beautiful face took the initiative to report her own name, as a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the crowd. Her gaze finally stopping on Qin Ruo’s face, she smiled and said, “I think, Winter Demon Qin Ruo and the arrogant Psycho Demon need no introduction, as all of us here know your information too well.”

Qin Ruo was not expecting to hear this.

At this moment, he finally couldn’t help but turned around and glanced at the arrogant Berserker whose expression was asking to be spanked. Facing the smug expression of the latter, Qin Ruo slowly said, “Better to introduce yourself… The name Psycho Demon… It is my first time hearing it. ”
