Rivalry: Infinite Buff

Chapter 36- Generous Left-handedLove

Ivan slapped his face twice today, “Not now, Ivan!”

Thinking about the purpose of bringing everyone together, Ivan hurriedly said, "Left-handedLove, I think there’s some misunderstanding. FallenAngel is my friend, and I can assure you she will never have thought of stealing your weapon."

Left-handed love also recalled the reason why they were here today. He took the initiative, "FallenAngel, since you are Bishop’s friend, you’re my friend too! I am sorry for being rude before. Here’s my weapon!” Left-handed love presented his weapon to FallenAngel.

"Hum, save it.” FallenAngel turned her face away.

"Well, time is precious, let's focus on the business at hand. Left-handed Love, could you tell us about your plan?” Ivan jumped in.

Left-handed Love, without saying anything, transferred 100 gold coins to Claire, Leo, and FallenAngel, and 500 gold coins to Ivan. People were surprised by Left-handedLove’s generous gesture and started to believe he was a good guy.

Left-handed love continued, "I’ll tell it to you straight. Thank you for joining me on this trip. I just transferred 100 gold coins to each of you as I promised. Our target this time is a boss in the north of the mountains. I would say that boss is at least at Silver-level, but keep in mind, there is a chance it could be at Golden-level. We may face the risk of losing the level, but of course, you can keep whatever treasures you get after killing the boss.”

After a short pause, Left-handed love talked in a lower voice, “One more thing…I want to ask a favor.  Could you leave the guild token to me if there’s one?”

Ivan didn’t expect to hear this from Left-handedLove. He wanted to keep the guild token for paying the players with less than one thousand gold coins. 

However, Left-handed love quickly followed, "Of course, I won't let everyone risk their lives for nothing! If we’re lucky enough this time, I'll auction it off and share the money with everyone."

"Well, Left-handedLove, it’s okay! I believe you!" Ivan agreed.

"If Ivan agrees, we also agree." Leo and Claire followed.

"I don't care." 100 gold coins were already beyond FallenAngel’s expectation.

Left-handed love was happy with this situation, "Let's go."

The temporary team was organized after this short conversation. Ivan had to say he kind of admired Left-handedLove and his play for the pre-paid gold coins. 

On the way to the Explorer Foothills, many beasts, small or large, kept showing and disturbing the team. After a simple adjustment, Warrior FierceKiller led the team, following him was Left-handedLove. Even with the awkward encounter between Left-handedLove and FallenAngel, she had to admit he was a charming guy especially after seeing his social skills.

Behind the other two were Ivan, Claire, and FallenAngel, unexpectedly, Ivan was stuck between Claire and FallenAngel. Although Ivan was not happy with the arrangement, no one would care about the voice of a Priest, the most respected role in the game. Even the Ranger, Claire, was better than Ivan with defense skills.

"FallenAngel, I’ve heard your skill has reached Proficient. I don’t know if I had the chance to see it?" Ivan asked with curiosity.

"Well, what do you think I am? A monkey in the circus?” Said FallenAngel, rubbing her hair, “All right...let me show you the real skill!"

After saying that, FallenAngel braced her hands closely next to her body, and then bent down. To Ivan, FallenAngel looked like a bow, as if she could fly through the air at any second. However, before the team even realized what was happening, FallenAngel disappeared as they watched. They could only see grass on the side of the road blowing like there was a strong wind. Behind the grass, a wild deer was enjoying its lunch and then stopped. The deer looked up with anger but found nothing around, it then lowered its head and continued to eat. However, the next second Ivan saw the deer kneel down as it if it had been kicked, with fear in its eyes, it jumped up and ran away as if there was something chasing it.  

Suddenly, FallenAngel appeared right where she had been standing before she disappeared. 

"You..." Everyone opened their mouth in shock.

"As you can see, Breath Holding! My proficient skill!" FallenAngel broke the silence.

"How could that not see you when you kicked it? Oh, my Gosh! You’re doing even better than ToughBlazer! If I remember right, he never hid successfully in front of Mirage," Ivan signed.

FallenAngel smiled awkwardly, "Mirage? Are you talking about the boss around level 100? He couldn’t hide. I guess that's because of the huge gap between Mirage and him.”

Left-handed love was curious, "FallenAngel, the skill you just showed us, it must be not a normal hiding skill, am I right? I have seen Rogue trying to hide himself during the battle, but we could always see his shadow no matter how advanced his skill was. However, when you were around the deer, I tried but found nothing.”

Left-handed love looked at FallenAngel from head to toe.

FallenAngel laughed out loud, "Actually, this skill only works when I face the low-level players, but it doesn’t work well in front of high-level players or mobs. They will notice me immediately when I get closer to them. And I will show as well if I am attacked. Thank God, I am not a Rogue but an Assassin. Assassin is always better on the attack and agility, especially the agility. At least we can run away from the opponent."

"Of course, I could advance my skill if I could reach Holy or higher levels."

Ivan nodded.

In this virtual reality online game, players and the game were developing together. Some alert players could perceive the crisis through the changes in the surrounding environment, such as the swing of the grass, drop leaf, or the texture of dust on the ground. Of course, general people certainly did not have this awareness.

Seeing the skill of FallenAngel, the team had more confidence in the action.
