Chapter 1225: Eat More Bunnies
Translator: alyschu
Thud!
A couple of tiny rocks shattered beneath the Ghost Spirit War Boots as I zigzagged toward Soul Slayer like a lightning bolt in the night. The moment I reached the guild leader, I slammed my sword into his, spun around and punched his shield with Magic Piercing Punch.
Bang!
Soul Slayer turned green as the skill sent him staggering to the back. Because he had avoided fighting me throughout the battle, he had failed to grasp my true speed, accuracy and strength until it was too late.
The Devil Bell rang crisply as Lin Yixin appeared from behind me. "Letâs take him out together, Little Cheat!"
Understanding what she meant, I launched myself past Soul Slayer like a cannonball but didnât attack him despite having the chance to do so. Soul Slayer summoned a protective aura to protect himself while retreating, but he still had no idea what Lin Yixin and I were planning. I spun around and locked eyes with Lin Yixin for a second. Then, we both executed the helix maneuver and dashed toward Soul Slayer at the same time.
As our blades punched through Soul Slayerâs torso at the exact same time, an incredible damage number rose above his headâ
2167874!
Soul Slayer groaned and dropped to the ground, dead. It had been a long time since we used our combination skill, Intercourse, and the result had exceeded all expectations. Both of us had grown a lot stronger since the last time we used it, but we still didnât anticipate it to have grown this powerful.
Shabby Castle couldnât hold the fort alone, so it wasnât long before he was taken out by Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi. The system announced to all players that both Heroic Bannermen had been killed.
âŠâŠ
Standing atop the Ancient Divine Dragonâs back and floating high up in the sky, I said slowly, "This is it, brothers and sisters. Donât let even a single fly escape our net. Sunset City must pay for their daring to assist the Vietnamese!"
The rest of the battle was a cat-and-mouse game. After their two leaders were dead, Sunset Cityâs players were unable to form even the slightest bit of meaningful resistance. The ground was littered with bodies and equipment alike. It took another two hours or so, but in the end we were able to slay every single Sunset City within the forest. We then spent the time distributing the loot and enjoying the fruits of our labor, also known as equipment. Despite having been online for a dozen of hours, neither of us felt tired in the slightest. In fact, even I was brimming with a kind of high energy excitement that I hadnât felt for a long time. Up until this point, every war we fought had felt like a mountain that we just barely managed to throw off our backs. That was why a landslide victory like this was something we all craved.
I took my time to choose my equipment carefully. It was about time I started looking after myself anyway. My piggy bank had become a bit emptier after spending those millions to buy Beiming Xueâs BMW. Unlike He Yi, I wasnât a rainmaker who could make it rain gold everyday. I might have 10% of Raincubeâs shares in my back pocket, but that didnât mean I shouldnât strive to improve myself.

A while later, all the guild leaders and corps commanders came together at a clearing beneath the moonlight.
Sitting atop a dead trunk and holding the Chill of the Nine Provinces loosely in my hand, I invited, "Why so serious, people? Feel free to take a seat if you want toâŠ"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes looked at the ground once before replying, "Thanks, but no thanks. The ground is covered in dew, and we have no intention of drenching our clothesâŠ"
Ling Xueshang sat down beside me before starting. "Although weâve taken out the main force of Sunset City, it might not be over just yet. The Germans from Chariot City and the Koreans from Burning City both possess the manpower to attack us. That being said, they still havenât made any major movements up until this point, so thereâs a good chance they wonât be coming to Hot Sand Cityâs rescue."
He Yi agreed with her assessment. "Itâs probably because they know that there is nothing they can do to save Hot Sand City."
I said, "Yeah. Anyway, can everyone give me a casualty report? Maybe we still have enough players to do a little somethingâŠ"
"Sure!"
Another while later, everyone reported their situationâ
He Yi: "Our main guild and subguilds total up to 190k players. 29k of them are Dragonlight Cavalrymen, 12k are Zephyr Cavalrymen, and 14k are Dragonlight Archers."
Lin Yixin: "Snowy Cathayaâs main guild plus subguilds total up to 210k players in total. 9k are Kui Dragon Cavalrymen, and 37k are Purple Dragon Cavalrymen."
Stranger of Three Lifetimes: "Blazing Hot Lips only has a ragtag group of 70k left. Do whatever you want with themâŠ"
Ling Xueshang: "Same. We only have 110k players left."
Luo River God of the Capital: "Purple Lily is doing fairly well, I guess. We still have around 270k players, and our organization is relatively intact."
Indigo Collar: "Can I stay quiet? No? Oh well. We only have 40k players leftâŠ"
âŠâŠ
I smiled and rose to my feet after hearing everyoneâs report. "Not bad, not bad at all. Despite all the battles we fought, weâre still a million elite players strong. It looks like we can pull off one last heist big before the Nation War ends after all."
"What are you planning, Lu Chen?" Indigo Collar asked.
I answered smilingly, "Itâs a secret. For now, we should let our backup replace us and catch some well-deserved rest. Letâs meet up again in 8 hours, shall we? Itâs 4 am in the morning now, so letâs meet up here at noon tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
We all needed to catch some rest after tens of hours of fighting. And even if that wasnât the case, I could almost hear the groans of a million bladders desperately waiting for release.
âŠâŠ
I sent a message to Hot and Sour Noodles before I logged out of the game: "Uncle Zhang Chun, the battle at eastern front is more or less finished. Weâve taken out over 17 million enemies in total, destroyed Sunset Cityâs effective forces and a large chunk of Cyan Earth Cityâs as well. I trust that you, Candlelight Shadow, and Warsky will be able to hold the northern front while weâre gone? Also, Iâm planning to do a bit of something tomorrow afternoon, so Iâm going to log out now and take my rest."
Hot and Sour Noodles replied quickly, "Wait, Lu Chen. Let me tell you my report first. Our front has less intense battles than the western front, but we still hold the advantage because neither Titan City nor Hero City had dared to send their true elites against us. Iâm sure they know how bad the situation is and are unwilling to weaken the defenses of their main cities even more than they already are. The battle at Hot Sand City is still ongoing, and I think itâll be at least 10 hours before the city is taken. Finally, weâre still getting an endless amount of reinforcements from the Center."
"Oh. Good. So, can I log out now? I need to peeâŠ"
"Haha, sure. Candlelight Shadow and I will stay up for another 10 hours. Youâll take over after that."
"Okay!"
I set up a tent in the forest and logged out after that.
âŠâŠ
It was the wee hours of the morning, and Murong Mingyue had cooked us some porridge. We all went to bed after eating supper.
It wasnât until almost noon did I finally wake up, and even then I felt like I could sleep another 10. As expected, fighting non-stop for tens of hours was extremely exhausting. It was worth it though. We all needed a massive victory to remove the trauma that had been inflicted upon us during the previous Nation War.
Du du!
At 11:30 am or so, I received a call from Lin Yixinâ
"Hi, dear!" I greeted her.
Lin Yixin didnât say anything for 2 seconds before replying, "I want to murder someone!"
"Whatâs wrong?"
"Nothing. Anyway, Iâm treating everyone in the Frost Cloud workshop to lunch at J&W Restaurant, so get up now!"
"Ohh! What happened though, seriously? J&W isnât exactly the cheapest restaurant out there."
J&W Restaurant was a well-known restaurant both inside and outside Suzhou. Although it wasnât star-rated, its dishes were so pricey that normal office workers could only stare at it from afar. I used to be one of these people. Although I was rich enough to afford a table now, I was still afraid to check it out for fear that my natural scent of poverty would betray me.
Lin Yixin giggled. "Itâs nothing big. Snowy Cathaya performed so well in the Nation War that our Apple e-sports club decided to increase our salary. Our annual salary has been changed to monthly, and our total income is 30% higher than before. It wonât be long before I catch up to you, Little Cheat!"
I grinned. "So what? My CGL salary is still way ahead of yours!"
"You dare? Very well, you can stay at home while I eat lunch with Sister Eve, Sister Mingyue and Lian Xin then!"
"Noooo, you canât donât do this to me! Yiyi, Yixin, Xingâer, please take this humble one to J&W, please~~~"
"Mu. Youâre so cornyâŠ"
âŠâŠ
I stepped into the living room after I was done washing myself. He Yi, Mingyue and Lian Xin were of course excited that Lin Yixin would be treating them to lunch today. Murong Mingyue even held her tummy lightly and swayed her hips left and right, saying, "Thank goodness I didnât eat too much during breakfast, or I wouldnât be able to savor Beauty Linâs beauty todayâŠ"
I looked down at her tummy. "What, are you pregnant, sis?"
"If I am, itâs yours!" She puffed up her chest.
"And how on earth could it be mine?"
"Youâre the only one who came on to me recently!"
My eyes nearly fell out of my eye sockets at the baseless accusation. "Sis! Youâre taking the joke way too far!"
He Yi asked quietly, "Yeah, when did Lu Chen come on to you exactly? Confess now, or elseâŠ"
Murong Mingyue giggled. "Well, he supported me while I was carrying a pumpkin the other day. That counts as coming on to me right? You know, the physical contact and everythingâŠ"
After we were done jeering at Mingyue, we raced downstairs and vroomed to J&W Restaurant in excitement.
âŠâŠ
Lin Yixin had booked a table on the third floor, and it turned out that we werenât the only ones who were invited for lunch. Purple Marquis, Nangong Lexi, Clear Perfume and Shadow Chanel were present as well. There were nine of us in total.
A while later, after the delicacies were served on the table, I grabbed my chopsticks to placate my grumbling stomach and said, "Well, what are you guys waiting for? Please, donât hold back on my account!"
Lin Yixin cocked her head at me. "Whoâs the host here, you or me?"
I grinned at her and put a piece of rabbit meat on her table. "Here, Yiyi. You should eat more bunny meat so that your bunnies will grow creamier andâer, you guys totally didnât hear what I just said, did you?"
Beside me, Lian Xin suddenly let out an unnatural cough. "AhemâŠ"
I immediately picked up on her meaning and put a piece of rabbit meat on He Yiâs plate as well. "I havenât forgotten about you of course, Eve. For the sake of your bunnies, you shouldâah pooh! You guys didnât hear anything! Now eat!"
Despite my attempts, Purple Marquis and Nangong Lexi couldnât help but glare at me with exasperation and disbelief.
Shadow Chanel said with a giggle, "Itâs hard to be an excellent man, and even harder to be an excellent man with two excellent girlfriends, isnât it?"
I nearly shed tears there and then. "My soulmate! Where have you been all this time!?"
Lin Yixin burst into a giggle before forcing herself to say, "Enough! Eat your food already!"
