"Erm, I'm going to take a shower first." Although he had been alone in a room with Ming Xu countless times, he did not know why he was particularly nervous this time. Li Xiang felt that his speech had become a little sluggish.
Ming Xu was originally holding a classic Assassin's Doctrine. She had changed into her pajamas and had obviously finished washing up. When she heard Li Xiang's words, she jumped up from the big soft bed like a carp.
"I'll go with you!"
"Huh?" Li Xiang felt even more dizzy. Although it was not that he had never taken a shower together, at that time, it was because he was pressed for time and was busy with missions and cultivation. He did not take into account so much. This was the first time Ming Xu had taken the initiative to ask.
Moreover, she had already taken a shower.
"I can help you wipe your back or something." Ming Xu pinched the corner of her clothes, revealing a rare shy expression. She jumped off the bed and pushed Li Xiang to the bathroom. "I've already prepared the hot water."
Half an hour later.
The two of them walked out of the bathroom wet. Li Xiang asked Ming Xu to sit properly, picked up the steam hairdryer and gently helped her dry her hair. When his palm stroked Ming Xu's hair, it brought along a burst of mint fragrance that gradually filled the air and every corner of the room.
After drying, the two of them switched roles. Ming Xu helped Li Xiang dry her hair. Her movements were a little clumsy. From her various actions today, it could be seen that in daily life, Ming Xu basically did not involve herself in these household and personal matters. She should be fully responsible for these matters by her servants, or perhaps she did not care at all.
In the past twenty years of her life, most of her time was occupied by killing. For a long time, when she saw someone, her first reaction was whether to kill or not. Her emotions gradually became indifferent until they disappeared, and she became a killing machine.
Even the most difficult shadow magic was easily learned by her.
In Li Xiang's eyes, none of these things were pleasant, because they were all things that Ming Xu had lost in exchange for.
From his point of view, he only hoped that this girl's future life would be as happy as an ordinary girl, and that she wouldn't have to bear the excessive pressure. Let him bear the extra things for her.
"I … Am I stupid?" Ming Xu lowered his head and was a little depressed. "At home, I tried my best to learn these things from my teacher, but I'm so stupid. I can't learn it well no matter how hard I try. It takes me a long time to fold clothes."
"When I wash my clothes, I always forget to add detergent. The dishes I cook are either too salty or too bland. Sometimes, I even burn them all. I try to play with the children in the tribe, but when they see me … they run away in fear."
"I, I want to be Li Xiang's good wife. I worked hard, really hard, to learn and do it, but … I'm too stupid." Ming Xu sat on the bed like a young girl, as if she had encountered a big problem. This was a problem that she had never encountered in her cultivation and learning how to kill people.
It was even more difficult than becoming a player.
Her teacher always laughed at her for being clumsy. Apart from learning how to kill people very quickly, she was an idiot in everything else. Even so, her teacher still gently told her that she would definitely be a good wife.
However, today, she lost the confidence that she had worked so hard to build up.
Looking at Ming Xu's cute appearance, Li Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hesitated for a moment, then gently pressed down on her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
"It's okay. Even if you're clumsy, even if you're an idiot, it's okay. Because we have a life that's countless times longer than ordinary people. We can use this life to slowly get used to each other. If you don't know how to cook or wash clothes, you can do it step by step. One day, you'll be better than other people. Don't worry, because I'll always be with you. I'll always be waiting for you until you're satisfied, okay? "
"Mmm, mmm, mmm …" Ming Xu's next sentence could not come out because her soft lips were fiercely blocked by his.
She hugged Li Xiang tightly, unwilling to let go, unwilling to let go. She hugged him like this until the end of time.
The swaying oil lamp swayed and then went out. Accompanied by a low moan, it disappeared into the night.
The next afternoon, the two of them slowly woke up. A night of crazy tiredness had almost drained them of their energy. The satisfaction brought about by the spiritual connection quickly dissipated the tiredness after they woke up.
The learning process in the Human's Light was very relaxed and very simple. Other than the fixed classes, many classes could be taken through the communication device. Ever since they registered as players, the number of platforms they could use had increased by a lot.
In the circle of players, a lot of basic knowledge and research was shared. Even if the human camp had been constantly fighting for power, they still maintained a good tradition. They were not selfish when it came to cultivation resources and were willing to share them. As long as one had enough contribution points, they could even get the White King's cultivation experience and information.
After the physical and mental connection last night, Li Xiang also told Ming Xu everything, including the matter of being a transmigrator. Regardless of whether she understood or not, he didn't want to hide anything from this girl, his future wife.
After the blood of the two of them combined, the two assassination tattoos also interacted, increasing their understanding of assassination skills. In three months, Li Xiang estimated that he could learn all twelve assassination skills in the initial state of the Paradise of Annihilation, the purification and healing modes.
After becoming a player, he could also try to create Disaster Weapons according to the tactics left by Lancelot. In this way, the two of them did not need to go to the Goddess of Calamity to exchange for Disaster Weapons. So, they used all their contribution points to exchange for resources and the Occult magic that Li Xiang needed.
Occult magic was different from other types of magic. There were originally very few people in this field, and the magic that was passed down was even rarer. Moreover, it was very strange.
In the end, Li Xiang chose two spells that he could barely understand to learn.
[Occult Rune Enhancement], which could strengthen the basic player's carrier to a certain extent.
[Occult Mechanical Shikigami], which combined magic and machinery to create an activity dummy, had the combat power of a magician, and could be mass-produced.
Mechanical Spirit-branded Retainers were currently the most commonly seen humanoid puppets. This was also the reason why Mysticism Mages were so widely known. Mechanical Spirit-branded Retainers were far stronger and more destructive than ordinary mechanical creatures. In fact, they could even gain the ability to perform magic just like human magicians.
The two of them had very special assassination skills, so they did not participate in any of the Assassin's Basic Classes. The Human's Light reserved the right of all prospective players to choose. As long as they successfully reached the advancement standard within three months, they would be released. As for how to achieve it, no one would restrict them.
The player's carrier was related to the materialization of Occult substances, and many of them were confidential. Therefore, most prospective players would receive instructions from their families before coming to the Human's Light, and would not easily show their Occult substances in front of others.
The reason they came to the Human's Light was to learn some knowledge of the player circle, as well as to choose a territory and the division of support teams.
At the same time, just as Caitlin said, it was the last calm before the storm, and a good time for a vacation.
The two of them were together every day, and the others were too embarrassed to disturb them. During this period, only Baimiya deliberately came to disturb them. However, Ming Xu was very slow in this regard, so Li Xiang was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Sister Ming Xu didn't even say anything, so why are you rolling your eyes! If you don't like it, you can make that Mechanical Shikigami look like me, hmph. " Baimiya said, and then pulled Ming Xu to roll around on the bed. Li Xiang, who was making the Mechanical Shikigami, could do nothing about it.
In the end, he could only follow her wishes and really made the Mechanical Shikigami look like Baimiya.
"I heard that the owners of those Mechanical Shikigami all have strange fetishes, and would do shameful things with them. Disgusting, perverted!" Baimiya deliberately pretended to vomit, but still kindly told Li Xiang many of her values so that he could make it more perfect.
The Mechanical Shikigami was completed at the end of the first month, and Baimiya didn't come over again after that.
"Sister Mi Cha likes you a lot." Ming Xu looked at Mi Cha, who looked like a real person, and sighed. "She's such an arrogant person, but she actually wants you to be a Mechanical Shikigami that looks like her and stay by your side."
It wasn't that Ming Xu didn't understand, nor was he slow. He just didn't know how to help Li Xiang respond to this feeling.
Li Xiang shrugged and smiled. "You don't have to think too much about it. It's not like she's only been like this for a day or two. As time passes, she'll let go eventually."
"What if she never lets go?" Ming Xu looked at him with a puffed up face.
Li Xiang paused. "What do you mean?"
"I'll listen to you."
"I'll listen to you."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Their tacit understanding meant that they didn't need to say anything to understand each other's feelings.
On the first day of the second month, the allocation of player support teams was officially announced.
Basically, every player support team would do their best to group together players from different factions of varying strength. This was to prevent the team from having a family or faction structure.
Even though the human faction had never restricted player support teams, such as Bai Dongxue, who hadn't participated in any team activities or missions, this custom would never change.
This was the foundation of the human players.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu were all level 1 players with the strength of team captains. Thus, each of them was separated and became the captain of a player support team.
A message came from his communicator. The player support team he was in was numbered 1994, and the other nine were players he had never heard of before. According to the information, they were from different factions. The only thing that comforted him was that none of them were from an opposing faction.
The nine of them were from normal aristocratic families, not at the level of super aristocratic families. It seemed that Caitlin had secretly manipulated the situation so that Li Xiang wouldn't be disgusted by the player support team.
He created a group, and everyone briefly introduced themselves to each other. The team was officially established.
Ming Xu's situation was the same, but when she found out that she was the captain, Ming Xu pouted and clung to Li Xiang like a koala bear, begging him to find Caitlin and remove her from the team.
She really wasn't someone who was good at communicating with others.
"Alright, alright, this is also a training for you. Do it seriously, Captain Ming Xu." Li Xiang carried Ming Xu in a princess carry and threw her onto the bed. He couldn't let her act like a spoiled child. After experiencing this kind of pleasure, Ming Xu would become dependent on him. This wasn't a good thing for the two of them.
They would have to wait until everything was over.
The next morning, under Caitlin's recommendation, Li Xiang and Ming Xu, who had completed their promotion, got an off-road vehicle and started the engine. While it was still early, they went all the way to the players' territory at the foot of the Black Mountain.
The entire Frozen Continent was divided into distinct territories, staggered according to their level. The closer to the center, the higher the level of the players. The territory of level 1 players was at the outermost area.
Even further out were the towns where the workers who had settled down in the Frozen Continent lived. They had always been here to serve the player's territory. They only had one chance to visit their families every year. Basically, they were bound to the Frozen Continent for the rest of their lives.
Even so, there were still countless people who wanted to work here. After all, the basic treatment was enough to let their families live like nobles. For normal people, it was like heaven.
The infrastructure of the town was relatively old and hadn't been renovated much. However, the buildings and facilities were complete. The town was extremely lively and crowded. The town that could only hold a few hundred thousand people was stuffed with two to three hundred thousand people!
The pace of life here was very slow. People would only run to the player's territory when there was a major event. Usually, they would rest at home and hold various banquets and activities.
These towns were also the only places that the merchant groups of the other six continents could come into contact with. They couldn't enter the deeper areas of the player's territory, but these places were not restricted.
Because they were close to the player's territory, there would always be some gossip. Even if it was just a rumor, it could cause a small disturbance on the continent. These merchant groups came here to buy information. For this, they were willing to pay a high price.
Li Xiang drove to the gate of the city. There were busy workers on and off the city walls. They were renovating and strengthening the walls. There were also two new fixed mechanical turrets. The turrets were printed with the logo of Scarlet Heavy Industries. He didn't expect his own business to be here.
Scarlet Heavy Industries, which had mastered the most advanced mechanical technology and an unlimited supply of Elementium, had become the fourth largest heavy industry in the seven continents. This was especially true for weapons and equipment. New products were endless, and they were deeply loved by the upper and middle levels.
The two of them were wearing the long robes of the Human's Light Academy. When the guards saw their attire, they were scared out of their wits. They hurriedly opened the door to welcome them and quickly passed a message to the town's leader. The arrival of two Level 1 players was a rare event!
Li Xiang waved his hand and rejected their good intentions. He drove the car inside and minded his own business.
Whether it was the unruly mercenaries or hunters, the arrogant children of aristocratic families, or the merchant groups with complicated backgrounds, after seeing their long robes, they all had expressions of awe. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The two of them got out of the car and blended into the crowd, enjoying the festive atmosphere. They were like a group of young lovers. Wherever they passed, the crowd quickly retreated. No one dared to disturb them.
