Login Before Others: Stone Age

281 Chen Yixue

Most of the time, Su Ming only used the auction house to put up two pieces of equipment and then wait for the money to be collected.

Once he was done as usual, Su Ming looked at the Benben Turtle and Lin Can, who were not too far away.

At this moment, Lin Can was about to convince this turtle after continuously coaxing and pestering it.

When Su Ming saw this, he walked to their side.

When Lin Can saw Su Ming, he immediately stood up from his original spot, and the expression on his face became slightly nervous.

“Brother Su, I didn’t use any illegal methods. I was just trying to persuade him.”

Su Ming looked at Lin Can’s nervous expression and a faint hint of helplessness flashed past his face.

After shaking his head slightly, Su Ming said, “I didn’t come to you for these things. I wanted to tell you that I plan to go back first.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, Lin Can was instantly stunned on the spot. After a while, he lifted his head in disbelief.

“Are you going back now? Then, Benben Turtle, do you also want to run?”

When Su Ming heard Lin Can’s probing words, he simply waved his hand and said,

“I’m planning to leave it here. I don’t have a reason to take it with me.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, Lin Can was first slightly stunned, then he became even more puzzled.

“So you’re planning to leave it here? Isn’t this a little inappropriate?”

When Su Ming heard Lin Can’s question, he first cast him a glance, then let out a soft chuckle.

“What’s inappropriate about this? Since you still need it for the time being, then let it stay here.”

“After the matter here is settled, you should take some time to go back to the Elf Valley and bring this little guy back.”

When Lin Can heard Su Ming’s words, he looked at Su Ming again. Once he was certain that Su Ming was not joking, he nodded his head.

“Alright then, Brother Su, are you planning to leave now?”

When Su Ming heard this, he nodded his head.

Then, Su Ming walked up to the turtle.

“You can play here for a while and help this guy solve the problem here. Come back after the things here are over, okay?”

When the turtle heard Su Ming’s words, it first tilted its head and stared at him for a long while.

Su Ming also met its gaze.

After a long while, the turtle finally nodded and squeaked.

“Alright then, I’ll see you then.”

Once Su Ming received the turtle’s confirmation, he turned his head around and looked at Lin Can.

“Take good care of it. After the matter is settled, send it back to the Elf Valley.”

In truth, Su Ming was still a little worried about the turtle.

“However, it shouldn’t be in any danger here.”

After all, based on the combat power and ability to escape, it would be difficult for an ordinary tribe with a few hundred people to put it in danger.

At the same time, Su Ming did not want to waste any more time in Purgatory Valley.

Therefore, after he was done with his task, he returned to the Elf Valley.

Once he spoke to Lin Can about some other things, Su Ming set off on his journey back.

A day later, Su Ming also returned to the area near the Elf Valley.

However, the moment Su Ming returned to the sprite square on Da Bai, the portal before him suddenly flashed.

Su Ming did not pay much attention to these things at first, but the person who walked out of the cave immediately caught his attention.

The person who walked out was Chen Yixue, whom he had not seen for many days.

Chen Yixue had clearly not expected that she would run into Su Ming so coincidentally.

When she saw Su Ming, she was slightly stunned before she finally reacted.

“Great Prophet, you’re back?”

When Su Ming heard her words, he first nodded his head, then swept his gaze across Chen Yixue’s body.

Then, Su Ming asked, “Where did he go?”

Chen Yixue was stunned for a moment before she replied, “Oh, I didn’t go anywhere. I just went out to level up.”

Yet Su Ming was not satisfied with Chen Yixue’s answer.

Su Ming cast a glance at Chen Yixue and said in a low voice, “Tell me the truth.”

During this period of time, Chen Yixue had been hanging around outside and rarely returned to the Elf Valley.

Su Ming had originally thought that she was really training and doing all sorts of missions outside.

However, when Su Ming saw that Chen Yixue’s rank had not increased for a long time and was even surpassed by the person in third place, his guess was immediately shattered.

Based on Chen Yixue’s leveling ability, it was impossible for her to be surpassed by others while she was focusing on leveling.

There was only one explanation for this situation.

Recently, Chen Yixue had been stopped in her tracks by some messy things.

These things even affected her normal game rhythm.

When Chen Yixue heard Su Ming’s words, she was momentarily stunned, then she bit her lip.

...

After hesitating for a while, Chen Yixue finally opened her mouth and said, “I’ve been pestered by a guild recently.”

“I’ve been dealing with them all this time.”

Su Ming’s brows furrowed slightly. He walked up to Chen Yixue and said in a serious tone, “What’s going on? Speak properly.”

Chen Yixue cast a glance at Su Ming before her, then organized her words and said, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just a guild formed by players, and they want me to be a member.

“After I rejected them sternly, they began to use various ways to hinder my leveling progress.

“I had no choice but to fight them. As a result, the pace of leveling has slowed down.”

When Su Ming heard this, his frown instantly grew deeper.

“Why didn’t you mention this before?”

Chen Yixue scratched her eyebrows and said embarrassedly, “I was also afraid of disturbing you. You seem to have been very busy during this period of time. You shouldn’t have had the time to deal with such a small matter.”

When Su Ming heard Chen Yixue’s words, the originally unpleasant expression on his face instantly became even uglier.

“Let’s not talk about other things first. You must never have such thoughts in the future.”

...

“In our studio, you’re the second highest level player. If your leveling progress is blocked by these messy things, it will definitely be a huge loss for our studio.”

Su Ming paused for a moment before he looked at Chen Yixue and continued, “What’s the name of the guild that invited you?”
