Chapter 201: Chapter 200: Exchange of Tips (Seeking Subscription)

Li Changhe and Bai Luohe were meeting for the second time, having first met during the [Chang’an Plague] plot.

Later, they unexpectedly formed an alliance with Mr. Bai, and it was then that they learned that Bai Luohe and Mr. Bai were siblings.

Although Mr. Bai appeared to be in his forties, he was indeed Bai Luohe’s older brother.

Now, Bai Luohe was wearing a beige ladies’ trench coat with a black scarf, displaying her tall figure to the fullest extent.

Her delicate face, coupled with her long, cascading hair, gave off a refined and elegant aura.

The black scarf wriggled a bit, transforming into a black cat. It perched on Bai Luohe’s shoulder and said to Li Changhe, "Yo, we meet again."

It was Bai Luohe’s Fantasy Species symbiotic body, Little Black.

Li Changhe immediately offered dried fish as a snack, since he would need to ask for its help later, so it was important to curry its favor.

He Feng and Wang Er looked at Bai Luohe and then at Mr. Bai.

"They don’t look alike at all, do they? Age-wise, it just doesn’t add up. I’d sooner believe they were father and daughter."

"Get lost. I told you before, I’m only in my early thirties, I just look older than I am. What’s wrong with having a twenty-year-old sister?" Mr. Bai clicked his tongue.

On the other hand, Bai Luohe looked at Li Changhe’s face and said, "I always thought you’d be older."

Back then, both of them were playing as ’characters’ in the [Plot], so even though they both used their real faces as [Players], their ages were set according to their ’characters’.

’Li Ba’ had a small mustache and was a 27 or 28-year-old warrior.

Moreover, Li Changhe acted ruthlessly in the [Plot]. He defeated the Rat Lord with flames, and Bai Luohe never imagined that in reality Li Changhe was a few years younger than her.

"I’ll take that as a compliment. Just don’t hold back later when we get started," Li Changhe replied as he began teasing the black cat with fish snacks.

"Brother Eight as well," Bai Luohe teased. From Bai Yi to Li Ba in [General Mountain], even though Bai Luohe was slightly older than Li Changhe and He Feng, she still had to call them Old Eight or Brother Eight when outside.

Everyone was just adding to the drama.

The reason everyone gathered here was firstly, because the location was relatively remote and had a [Spatial Disruption Array] for cover, which could be used for practicing or familiarizing themselves with [Skills]. It was considered [General Mountain]’s base.

Secondly, to welcome Bai Luohe. As allies, when she came back from her trip, everyone needed to meet up and get to know each other better.

Thirdly, to test Li Changhe’s new skills and tactics. Mr. Bai suggested that he and Bai Luohe should spar, which would also help fine-tune Bai Luohe’s skills and tactics. Sparring with friends was safer than clashing with enemies during [Tasks].

"Recently, I’ve tested soil from various locations, but none were satisfactory. When you guys enter [Plot Tasks], you can bring back some soil samples. If the cultivation is successful, we can reduce our consumption of medicine in the future," Bai Luohe briefed everyone about her plan after greeting them.

She unceremoniously assigned a new task - to collect soil, uh... dig soil.

However, Li Changhe and the others were not dissatisfied, and were, in fact, filled with excitement.

If [General Mountain] could cultivate those Mysterious System medicines, that would be incredibly beneficial.

After all, the [Mall] was just too expensive!

Currently, Li Changhe could only afford [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid] at 300 game coins per bottle.

For Li Changhe and other [Players] with a physique higher than 10 points, the healing effect wasn’t as significant as it was initially.

When Li Changhe first used it, his wounds healed instantly, but as his physique increased to 10 points, it took one to two minutes to heal the same type of wound.

As the [Players]’ physique increased, they needed to consume more advanced medicines. Higher-grade medicine like the [Super High-efficiency Healing Liquid] in the [Mall] cost 500 game coins, offering rapid recovery for those with a 13-point physique or lower.

Who could afford that? All of Li Changhe’s game coins could only buy one bottle, and while the price might be slightly cheaper at the [Trading Center], it was just not worth it.

But for such a low cost-to-effect ratio, why not spend the 500 game coins on something else? Wouldn’t it be better to purchase skills or synthesize materials?

Although it was indeed a life-saving item, it was just too expensive. It was more important to increase one’s own strength and reduce the probability of injury, otherwise, they would still end up gravely wounded even if they were saved.

[Sun Halo] Those [Player Organizations] can make their own imitation drugs.

As for [Great Wall], this official organization needs no introduction. [Black Great Wall] is the manufacturing factory of [Great Wall]. Their products are of good quality, but tightly controlled.

Once, Bai Luohe found a garden of a Transcendent during a [Plot Task]. He plundered a lot, but was said to be chased down miserably...

All three teammates turned against him...

But the gains were substantial, just that there was no suitable place to plant them.

If they can grow some Mysterious System fruits on [General Mountain], it would be an improvement for everyone!

After a brief chat, they went into the basement to experiment with their skills.

Li Changhe, He Feng, and the others were too familiar with each other, and had a good understanding of each other’s [Skills].

When they started fighting, they inevitably used some targeted tactics.

However, they lacked the sense of urgency to fight an unknown enemy.

Bai Luohe is LV7 with an unknown [Title Skill], and also with a Fantasy Species symbiotic black cat.

At this moment, Li Changhe is also LV7, and there isn’t much difference in attributes.

Bai Luohe doesn’t know about Li Changhe’s [Title Skill], and Mr. Bai, who has this in mind, naturally won’t tell her.

But Yun Ting’s presence might counteract the black cat slightly.

Overall, the two sides are evenly matched.

However, Mr. Bai and the others are quite clear that Li Changhe’s combat power is stronger; they have all witnessed his ruthlessness. If it’s a real fight, Li Changhe would probably win.

But the black cat isn’t an easy opponent either. It’s said that during a plot task, it swallowed a boss... The [Player] teammates were dumbfounded, wondering who was the real boss.

"It’s just a friendly match, don’t get too serious. Especially you, Li Ba! Don’t hurt my sister!" Mr. Bai and He Feng stood at the edge of the basement with medicine, preparing to rescue.

It’s not the first time, so they’ve restrained themselves during the exchanges.

When Li Changhe heard Mr. Bai’s words, he looked confused at the ordinary-quality steel knife and wooden bow in his hand.

"Tell that to Little Black. Ordinary-quality equipment can’t even break its fur."

They stood about twenty meters apart, with ordinary-quality weapons in their hands. Li Changhe wore the [Great Wall Mountain Armor] and [Ghost Face Mask].

Bai Luohe also wore a set of [Rare Quality] protective gear, which usually doesn’t get damaged.

This was the first time to fight against a [Player] with a symbiotic creature. He had to learn from the experience well.

In fact, when Li Changhe fought with other [Players], there were few situations where they were evenly matched and strategizing against each other.

During the [Sun Halo] battle, the opponents were worn out by [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers], or taken down by Brother Ting’s twenty-four knives.

In the fight against Tie Xiong, it was an overwhelming victory. With the help of He Feng and Wang Er, Li Changhe never let Tie Xiong get close, forcefully breaking his Physique and killing him.

It didn’t work against Fire Man and Hailing Mountain, as they were crushed miserably.

In fact, many teammates have very strong abilities, like Yang Dong, Moon God, Tiantong... They all have their own tactical plans. Compared to them, Li Changhe can only output and exchange blood through resilience, which is too inefficient.

Yang Dong can hold off Fire Man for five minutes, and Moon God reportedly fought a [Holder] and retreated unscathed. This is the difference in tactics.

A suitable tactical mindset for himself must be developed. At least when facing higher-level players, he can resist for a while.

On the other side, the black cat landed in front of Bai Luohe. Sensing Li Changhe’s fighting intentions, the black cat’s originally innocent and lovely voice suddenly became deep and authoritative: "Very well! Let’s do this!"

"Well... Let’s give it a try." Li Changhe took a deep breath. [Breath of Thunder] activated!
