MMORPG: The Almighty Ring

Chapter 440: Trouble Came Knocking

One week passed by as Jiang Fei trained on his own accord. There was nothing much going on in the game. Most of it was due to Jiang Fei’s high level. The most difficult dungeon then had not become any easier but the experience points were low.

As for his training, Jiang Fei’s mastery of Thunder Palm was not showing much progress. In one week, Jiang Fei had only managed to get accustomed to the acupoints. He did read the other three books and found that it was much harder to find and master the acupoints.

Although Jiang Fei felt he was slow, compared to others, he was doing well. Most importantly, no one was there to guide him. Most of the people of the alliance shared one common thought. With a Level 5 master, how could Jiang Fei ask for guidance? The thing was that Jiang Fei had no master. He understood that and he would have to live with that fact. Even so, with daily training, his mastery of the skill grew. He understood the true hardship that every martial artist had been through. The blood and sweat that went into the training was not as simple as gaining strength simply by putting on armor and weapon from the game.

One fine day, when Jiang Fei was training Thunder Palm, Han Tianyu called Jiang Fei, bringing revelating news.

“Brother, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” asked Han Tianyu nonchalantly. It did not seem too grave at that moment.

“Hmm… Good news please,” said Jiang Fei.

“Remember the twins? Remember that you promised them to play with them in one month’s time? Yeah, they could not make it,” said Han Tianyu with a smile.

“Oh! That’s good news indeed!” said Jiang Fei happily. On one end, he did feel a little disappointed. Back then, when Han Tianyu planted obscene ideas inside his head, he felt a little intrigued on how to tackle a girl. Hence, he had begun to plan the day and was looking forward to the day the twin arrived. While he was disappointed at not being able to meet them, he was more than happy to escape their grasps! He remembered how the girls were rather troublesome and a date with them would not be worth the trouble.

“What about the bad news?” asked Jiang Fei.

“Okay. Ready? The bad news is… both Yang Po and Yang Qing will be coming to your class tomorrow. They had already transferred in!”

“Huh?! Wait. What?! How!? When!? HUUH!?”

“Hahahahahaha! You got too excited too early bro!”

Jiang Fei dropped to his knees. If he could cry right then, he would. Just when he thought that the twins would be out of his life, they had come back harder and stronger.

“I’d just bought an apartment for them in Manda Square! They are living right opposite your house! On the same floor!” Han Tianyu was trying really hard not to burst out in laughter.

“NOOOOOOOOOooOooOoooOooooOooo!” Jiang Fei shouted weirdly as if he was shouting with an opera-level vibrato.

“How could you agree to this?” cried Jiang Fei after he was done shouting at the top of his lungs. He had no idea what to do then. When Han Tianyu mentioned that the twins had transferred into his school, he had a mini heart attack. He calmed down after that since he realized that he had not been in class for a long time and it would not matter if they did. The real reason to panic was when Han Tianyu said that they were going to live right next door! There was nowhere to run now! The worst fear was having either Yang Po or Yang Qing accidentally snitching on him. Telling his parents what he had done and had been doing.

“Come on man… Put yourself in my shoes. Who am I? I’m just a second rate fighter. The twins are the next successor of a powerful Sect! How could I reject their request?” explained Han Tianyu as he laughed bitterly. Even though he was powerful amongst the “normal” people, he was only second rate in the alliance.

“What the f*ck do you want me to do?”

“What else? The girls are knocking at your door! Listen to me, open the door and take them in!” said Han Tianyu blatantly.

“If it was as easy as it sounds…” said Jiang Fei under his breath. When Han Tianyu was talking about the girls, Jiang Fei had thought that he could be all manly with the girls. Little did he know that when the girls came knocking on his doors, his balls literally shrank. The poor boy had never really flirted with girls before.

“Relax, I gotchu man! Listen to my advice and no girls would be able to resist your charms!” said Han Tianyu as he tried to encourage Jiang Fei. He had already known that Jiang Fei would be depending on him most of the time. The stronger Jiang Fei got, the better the benefits Han Tianyu would gain. In the future, when the twins had taken over the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace, Jiang Fei would have courted them. When that happened, Han Tianyu would have another “side-chicks” to depend on.

It was the reason why he wanted Jiang Fei to court the girls. If Han Tianyu had not been weaker than them, he would have already courted both the successors of the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace.

However, realistically speaking, the girls were standing on a stage that Han Tianyu could never ascend to. Be it his background or personal strength, Han Tianyu could only hope but never act on them. Luckily for him, he could place his hope on Jiang Fei.

As a naive young man, Jiang Fei’s thoughts were not as creative nor as mischievous as Han Tianyu’s. He still thought that the man was genuinely helping him out. Moreover, the girls were really just too cute that no man could ever resist their temptations. With a slight push from Han Tianyu, Jiang Fei gave in.

At this point, Jiang Fei was akin to the Japanese’s herbivore man. Even though he had a thousand ideas to try and “conquer” the girls, when it came to actually talking to them, Jiang Fei would crack immediately and fail, like the pathetic coward, anti-social man he was. Unless the girls had come up to him personally and shackled him to them, Jiang Fei would never be the person to take the initiative.

Naturally, Han Tianyu knew just what kind of man Jiang Fei was. He could not stand aside and let Jiang Fei continue being passive when it came to girls. He had purposely treated the girls like queens in order to have Jiang Fei succeed in courting them. Even though he had Jiang Fei’s Level 5 master in hand, a pair of twins being the successor of a powerful sect would be just as good. If Jiang Fei continued being the man he was, it would be years until the girls would be in his hands.

The situation was complicated. Even though the twins of the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace had come to town with purposes of their own, Han Tianyu could not just leave it to the girls to have Jiang Fei taking the first move. He was just a naive little boy when it came to girls. When the dream girls appeared and even plastered themselves to him and Jiang Fei was still passive, that was when Han Tianyu would just give everything up. Might as well ask the boy to be a eunuch. Han Tianyu wanted Jiang Fei to take the bait and get the girls. That way, Jiang Fei could be upgraded from a tiny pistol to a war cannon. The problem was that Jiang Fei was a NAIVE LITTLE BOY! Almost everything had to be planned by Han Tianyu.

“You stupid little brother! You’d better become a successful Overlord in the future! Or else, you’d better kneel down and beg for forgiveness from me losing my brain cells!” said Han Tianyu to himself after he was done talking to Jiang Fei.

“Oh man… What am I going to do?”

Jiang Fei panicked. He was an otaku for too long that he had developed the one weakness; whenever he dealt with girls, he would freeze and start to act on a whim. Sun Mengmeng was the same… What more when he dealt with the pretty pair of twins!

Jiang Fei started to think. Of all the females whom he talked to, excluding his mother, the only one that he could talk to without getting into a fit of spasm… would be the pool girl, Si Tuying!
