Chapter 177: Medicinal Stone’s Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Based on the information Happy gained from All-powerful Medicinal Stone, he could finally prove that “that person” and Xu Yao had indeed deliberately approached him after they received orders from Class One Hall.

After obtaining the information, Happy was angry, but he also released a breath of relief.

In truth, he was still hesitant on whether he should attack the bastard couple and Class One Hall, but based on what he could tell, he had to deal with them at all costs. He could also never forgive Class One Hall, since it was the real mastermind behind everything!

“What do you intend to do?”

Happy cast a look at All-powerful Medicinal Stone, already changing his future plans.

Since the man took the initiative to search for cooperation, Happy could include him as part of his plan to enter Fox Cave. He just happened to need two helpers right then. With All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s fame as the Swordsman Thief from the previous life, it would not be a challenge for him to join Happy’s venture into Fox Cave!

All-powerful Medicinal Stone looked at Happy in surprise, but soon, he came to a realization.

When he heard that there was someone who wanted to get close to Happy in reality, he became angry himself too. Even though they were in a society governed by law and terrifying scenes such as bloody murder due to benefits in the game would not happen in reality, it was still not a pleasant thing to be targeted by someone.

He could understand why Happy was angry when he heard the news.

While Happy though, All-powerful Medicinal Stone cast Little North a glance.

“Little North, train by yourself for a while,” Happy said.

After all, they still did not quite understand him, and the two of them were about to discuss setting up Class One Hall, which was the greatest guild in the game.

“Oh, okay.” Little North also knew that it would not be suitable for him to be around for the time being. He nodded quietly and left into the distance with his two zombie puppets.

Once Little North left, All-powerful Medicinal Stone turned around. “He’s pretty good.”

Happy nodded.

Little North did not have any fame in his previous life. He only knew how to make use of the simplest advantage—numbers. He did not even know how to integrate battle strategies into his fights and was only at the level of a normal player. However, as of right then, as long as he developed with his current trajectory, it would not be much of a problem for him to become one of the top-tier martial artists.

Little North was also one of the important candidates Happy considered training and bringing into Fox Cave. With the astonishing defenses of his zombie puppets, it would not be difficult for him to gain a steady footing in Fox Cave!

“How much do you know of Class One Hall?”

“I don’t really understand them. More accurately speaking, my understanding of the game is very limited.” All-powerful Medicinal Stone smiled bitterly. “Honestly, I entered the game because of a random flash of interest. Later on, once I got this thieving skill from Marvelous-handed Sect and ran into some fortuitous events, I trained my high-tier martial art until I got pretty good with it. It’s only then that I became slightly interested.”

Happy said nothing, only listening quietly.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone chuckled with his head lowered. “But my aspirations are not toward the fights in the world of martial artists. I enjoy the gaming life more. I’ve also become addicted to stealing with these hands. But once Class One Hall chased me for a long time, I became really angry! I might not like fighting, but I dislike being manipulated and extorted as much, or even more, than everyone else.”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone had also behaved this way in Happy’s previous life.

If it was a grudge caused by his thievery, he would never fight head-on against his enemies. He would run if he needed to.

But if someone came causing trouble for him of their own initiative, he would definitely steal something from those people even if he had to chase them to the ends of the world. It was either that or he would stab them in the back when they were not paying attention.

He did not enter the game to gain fame. He had come to enjoy the game.

Hence, once many of the fighters in Happy’s previous life learned of All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s personality, they just pretended not to see him. They would not easily provoke the swordsman thief who could easily steal an item or two from them.

When Class One Hall provoked such a person so early in the game, Happy could only say that they overestimated themselves and underestimated the heroes of the world.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone paused for a moment, then his tone changed.

“However, based on my observations over the past few days, aside from Class One Hall’s hall master, who is now ranked first on the new Phoenix Rank and whom I do not dare provoke, there are also two other people who are very powerful.

“One of them is Barren Murderer, and the other is Blood Robes. They’re both vice hall masters of Class One Hall.”

Happy said nothing. Naturally, he knew this well.

Barren Murderer and Blood Robes…

Those two were Dream Clouds’ prided left and right hands and had even entered the top twenty of the Sword Among Us Tournament. They had stood above the others since the start of the game and walked ahead of everyone. They were very meticulous, and their efficiency in using various resources was incredibly great. Their comprehension was also outstanding. Even Happy did not have the confidence to handle them as of right then.

“Those three people are not easy to deal with,” All-powerful Medicinal Stone said with a solemn tone. “However, they’re keeping a low-profile right now and focusing on training. I heard that they’re working on reaching Mystical Realm, which means they will not get out to handle their guild’s affairs unless absolutely necessary.

“Dream Clouds is the one personally handling the operations and commands of the guild. She is even more terrifying than them, however. She has already sent out all her extraordinary internal members to recruit manpower and draw more people to their side to build new sects. As of now, Class One Hall has seven sects to the north of Changjiang. They’ve also built three sects in Jiangnan, and all of them have outstanding prestige in those areas!

Happy said nothing, only frowning slightly.

Even though he knew all of that quite clearly, he could not help but suck in a sharp breath while listening to All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s detailed descriptions. He found it especially unbelievable that it was all done by a woman. Previously, he had believed that Barren Murderer and Blood Robes, who had always kept a low-profile, had contributed quite a lot.

“Class One Hall is indeed not easy to deal with,” Happy lamented.

“That’s right, if we wanted to destroy it in a short period of time, it’d be just a pipe dream!” All-powerful Medicinal Stone paused for a moment before a fierce look appeared on his face. “However, no matter how strong they are, if they want to stand in this game and be able to do whatever they want without fear, I will make sure to cause trouble for them.”

“What do you mean?”

“We don’t have to deal with Class One Hall directly. We can cause trouble to their subordinate sects. We might not be able to take care of the vice hall masters and hall master of Class One Hall, but I refuse to believe that we can’t handle a normal internal member.”

When All-powerful Medicinal Stone said that, he sounded rather bold and heroic, and like he alone could achieve such a feat.

But he did not manage to maintain his demeanor for long.

“Of course, I will definitely not be able to do this alone. The people from Class One Hall can seldom be found without backup, and while I’m skilled in stealing stuff, I’m not very good at fighting…”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone could only laugh bitterly.

‘What he said is true…’ Happy laughed in his heart as well.

He had heard that plenty of people had suffered in All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s hands in his previous life, but the anger that filled their hearts was because they lost something important to them, not because they were indignant about losing.

“That’s why you came to me?”

No expression could be seen on Happy’s face. He looked very calm.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone nodded. “I believe that the only person who is strong enough and interested in helping me would be you.”

Happy thought about it for a moment in silence.

He then shook his head. “I can agree to your request, but it’s not very realistic for us to target Class One Hall’s subordinate sects. Forget about the probability of us winning against them. If we run around killing them with just the two of us, we’ll waste too much time on the road. The advantage we accumulated in the early stages of the game would be completely wasted. So it’s impossible for me to target Class One Hall with you, but I have a plan that I think you should consider.”

As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
