26: Chapter 26: Heaven’s Net (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections) 26: Chapter 26: Heaven’s Net (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections) Editor: Henyee Translations Sending messages on the Sect Channel costs money!

The price of 10 gold per message is a substantial expense for players at this point.

Ye Weiming, since starting the game, hasn’t made any big purchases but has also only managed to save less than 20 gold.

Even pooling together their funds, Poached Pork Slices and his team would have more than Ye Weiming, but nowhere near enough to splurge frivolously.

You have to understand, all players in “Eternal Chivalry” start on equal footing, there’s no place for in-game purchases with real cash.

No one would bat an eye at spending 10 gold on equipment, but to use it on a sect channel message, that would be extremely extravagant.

Ye Weiming has yet to see anyone do that.

Yet, Poached Pork Slices did just that.

By spending 10 gold to broadcast Yi Yi’s acquisition of the Zhuge Crossbow across the sect, they have passed beyond harming others for their own benefit.

They have reached a new level of mischief, damaging themselves to harm others!

From start to finish, Yi Yi didn’t do anything to wrong them.

In fact, they were the ones at fault.

Yet now, they behave as if they’ll rest only when she’s down, no wonder she’s so angry.

Taking into account the time, Ye Weiming frowned, “Being angry now serves no purpose.

What we have to face now is the fact that a large number of Tang Sect players will soon arrive on horse carts to Hangzhou City to besiege you.

Even within the Tang Sect…”

“That’s impossible within the Tang Sect.” Yi Yi shook her head, “As soon as I enter the Tang Sect, high-ranking NPC’s of the sect will escort me.

If anyone attacks me there, the penalty wouldn’t be any less severe than if I were to lose the Zhuge Crossbow.

Ye Weiming, this doesn’t concern you…”

Interrupting her with a wave of his hand, Ye Weiming said directly: “No fussing if we’re friends.

Listen to me, we should do this…”

…

After parting with Yi Yi, Ye Weiming used the Qinggong movement technique ‘Eight Steps to Chase the Toad’ to swiftly return to Hangzhou City.

He encountered numerous Tang Sect disciples along the way, but since they knew Yi Yi was a female Tang Sect player, no one troubled Ye Weiming.

Maintaining his top speed, after a round in the city, Ye Weiming returned the same way he came, carrying the items he just bought in the city, and slipped into a small grove not far from the West Gate of the city.

“Are you sure your plan is really going to work?” Yi Yi, seeing Ye Weiming’s return, was still a little worried.

Just now, as per Ye Weiming’s plan, she circled outside the city, drawing out hundreds of Tang Sect players in pursuit.

Luckily she ran fast and knew how to use her surroundings as a special forces soldier to shake off her pursuers.

Otherwise, she may have already been caught…

“You’ve seen my movement technique.

Getting away from my pursuers definitely won’t be an issue.” Ye Weiming grinned, handing a set of light green clothes from the tailor’s shop and the Ghost Head Blade dropped by Chen Ming over to Yi Yi.

In return, Yi Yi gave him the Tang Sect crossbow she had been using.

And so, the two began to change their outfits.

Yi Yi, dressed in light green clothes, looked like a bit of a wandering martial heroine, a huge contrast to her previous grey, form fitting outfit.

The sight of a lovely martial heroine holding a Ghost Head Blade made for a rather peculiar image.

Meanwhile, Ye Weiming donned an outfit similar to what Yi Yi had worn before, a black tunic, of course in a men’s style.

The game doesn’t allow cross-dressing.

The program won’t permit it.

Clothed in the black form-fitting tunic with the Tang Sect crossbow in his hand, and wearing the hat dropped earlier by Chen Ming on his head, he looked just like a Tang Sect disciple.

However…

Looking up at Ye Weiming, Yi Yi chuckled, “You still look like a man, no matter what.”

“No problem, we have these.” As he spoke, Ye Weiming took out two white buns and tucked them under the chest area of his clothing on both sides, giving it a fuller look.

Yi Yi: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ…

Can you really do that?

“Hehe, up close it’s definitely full of flaws, but I won’t give them the chance to get near me.” Ye Weiming said smugly, “Time is of the essence.

Your task now is to follow the route I gave you earlier, and make your way to Longjing Village as quickly as possible, then take the horse cart there back to the Tang Sect.”

Without waiting for Yi Yi to respond, he launched into his movement technique again, rushing towards the West Gate of Hangzhou City.

Behind him, Yi Yi’s voice could be heard: “Ye Weiming, no matter what, I owe you one today!”

…

Before Ye Weiming could even get close to the city gate, a hundred or so players surged out from inside the city, closing in on him.

What?

If they had laid an ambush within the city gate, their chances of success would have been higher?

Don’t forget, there’s only one Zhuge Crossbow, who gets it if we work together and it drops?

Of course, like now, everyone relies on their own abilities, whoever snatches it, owns it.

Seeing the people inside the city gate starting the chase, Ye Weiming turned around and bolted.

The guys behind him pursued him with even more enthusiasm.

After all, if you run, doesn’t that imply guilt?

“Flank him from both sides, don’t let him escape!”

“Heh, the Zhuge Crossbow is destined to be mine!”

…

Suddenly, someone in the crowd noticed something amiss: “I think something’s off about this guy’s attire.”

Another person immediately responded: “He’s trying to conceal his intentions, attempting to slip under our radar.”

“Right!” Someone else also chimed in: “Did you think that just because you’re wearing a Conical Hat, I wouldn’t recognize you?

Fellas, the Zhuge Crossbow will belong to the virtuous warrior amongst us!”

Why did he address everyone as ‘fellas’ and not ‘brothers and sisters’?

Because in “Eternal Chivalry”, the player’s game ID doesn’t show above their character.

To learn the other player’s real name, they would have to join a team or befriend them.

Another option is to recognize them by face.

But not all players are from the Tang Sect, and how many really know Lili?

Therefore, more than ninety percent of the players hunting Lili are male.

Their hunting criterion is straightforward: Upon seeing female disciples from the Tang Sect, kill!

The first wave included those who passed on the news to them and then stayed outside the city to enjoy the spectacle, which included the team of Boiled Meat Slices and four others.

Three seconds of silence for them…

After all this commotion, no female disciples from the Tang Sect would dare to come to Hangzhou now.

Ye Weiming did not have the same level of pro battle experience as Lili.

Chased by more than a hundred people, he had no option but to run at full speed.

Nevertheless, he had one advantage: his speed was significantly faster than the average player.

After all, it was still early in the game.

After pledging allegiance to a guild, players’ cultivation was limited.

Given the circumstances, one would naturally prioritize enhancing Inner Strength and skill sets—two things that could directly bolster combat ability.

Who would want to spend hundreds of Cultivation Points on Qinggong?

The reason Ye Weiming managed to level up his Qinggong, “Toad Step”, to the third level was because his Inner Strength and Swordsmanship were already quite high.

His 800 Cultivation Points couldn’t harbor any improvements in these two primary combat abilities.

And so, Ye Weiming ran!

A large group of Tang Sect players chased him!

…

At the beginning, Ye Weiming only kept his speed just slightly faster than most.

But upon realizing the error in his escape route, which was leading him into an ambush, he had to speed up.

He was initially worried his sudden increase in speed would expose his shortcomings, but the loud chatter from the players behind him quickly put his doubts to rest.

“Why has she suddenly started running so fast?

Has she made a mistake?”

“Definitely not!

Don’t forget she just got the first kill of a boss, and besides being the target of our sect mission, Chen Ming is also a wanted criminal.

Add up the rewards for the boss kill and completing the bounty mission, she’s gotten at least six or seven hundred Cultivation Points.

That’s enough to level up her Qinggong twice!”

Hearing these conversations, Ye Weiming couldn’t help but mentally approve of the guy who spoke.

The power of imagination, three stages!

Meanwhile, Lili was on her way to Longjing Village.
