RPG: The Divine Deconstructor - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Why Do You Look So Startled?

“Ring ring~”

Jiang Ming’s phone rang when he was driving like a mad horse on the road.

He took out his phone from his pocket. When he saw that it was an unknown number, he became curious. Who is this?

Although he didn’t know who it was, he still answered the call.

“Boss, I’ve finished the mission and we’re on the way back. You don’t have to come all the way here.” Chikage’s voice came out of the phone.

“How’s Xiao Wen?” Jiang Ming asked worriedly.

“She fainted, but she’s fine,” Chikage replied.

“She fainted?!” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but frown.

“Uh… Boss, it’s nothing big. I was the one who knocked her out because she definitely wouldn’t agree to following a cat. Plus, I can’t just talk to her suddenly. That would have been worse.”

That’s true. If his sister suddenly saw a cat talking to her, she might be in more shock.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked Chikage, “If my sister has fainted, then how are you bringing her back?”

“I drove for a while,” Chikage replied in a calm tone.

“You drove?” Jiang Ming was stunned. Although he knew that Chikage was a special cat, the scene of a cat driving a car was just unimaginable.

“Yeah. I only drove for a while. Zhao Long’s driver took over after that. We’re on the way back with them now,” Chikage said to Jiang Ming.

“Wow, okay. Wait… Why are you with Zhao Long?” Jiang Ming asked.

“I’ll talk to you about it when we get back.” Chikage did not answer Jiang Ming’s question.

“Sure.”

After hanging up, Jiang Ming was still wondering why Chikage was with Zhao Long. He had a feeling that Chikage was hiding something from him.

‘Forget it, I’ll ask him when he’s back.’

Then, Jiang Ming turned the car around and when he passed by a supermarket, he got down and bought some food. Since both Wen Dong and Zhao Long were in his house, he should at least make them dinner.

…

“Sister Xin, I already told you that Brother Ming went to the supermarket. Don’t worry. You’ve already asked me this for the hundredth time.”

“You’re lying. Ming would have told me if he was going to the supermarket. Plus, why would he take so long if he was going to the supermarket? Are you guys hiding something from me?!”

This was the first thing that Jiang Ming heard when he reached home. Then, a helpless smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, ‘Her sixth sense is still so accurate.’

As he thought to himself, he pushed the door open and said, “I’m back. Something happened on the way back, that’s why it took me so long.”

When Lan Xin and Wen Dong heard Jiang Ming’s voice, both of them turned around and looked at him.

Lan Xin had an annoyed look on her face while Wen Dong was shocked and confused.

“Ming, why didn’t you tell me that you went to the supermarket? I thought you…”

Lan Xin who was unhappy with Jiang Ming started complaining as she grabbed his arms.

“I saw that you were busy and I thought that it would be a quick trip to the supermarket. That’s why I didn’t inform you.”

Jiang Ming smiled and said to Lan Xin as he placed the food on the table.

“Fine, I forgive you.” Lan Xin smiled at Jiang Ming. Then, she saw all the food on the table and asked, “There’s only three of us, why did you buy so much food?”

“My sister just got back from overseas and I still have a few friends coming over later, so I thought I should buy a little more,” Jiang Ming explained.

“Oh.” Lan Xin nodded her head. As she looked around the house that she was in, she asked again, “I thought you were… how did you afford such an expensive place?”

“Collecting garbage?” Jiang Ming knew that Lan Xin was afraid of offending him and therefore, she didn’t mention what he was doing for a living before this. However, he didn’t mind. “This place isn’t mine, it belongs to a friend of mine. He’ll be coming over soon. As for the job that I had before this, I left! I’ve been playing ‘Divine Land’ and managed to earn some money from the game.”

“Really?” Wen Dong interjected into the conversation as he was surprised. “Brother Ming, are you serious? I’ve already wasted thousands just to buy equipment in the game. How did you earn money instead?”

“Hmm… even I used about five to six thousand and only managed to get a level 5 iron armour,” Lan Xin said to Jiang Ming.

When Jiang Ming heard what they said, he asked, “Really? I felt that it’s quite easy to earn money from that game. Both of you are top players. The game might be a little different from Glory, but it wouldn’t affect you both as much. With both your skills and abilities, it wouldn’t be that hard to get some decent equipment in the game.”

Lan Xin and Wen Dong were both top players from the Yama Guild. Although they were not as good as him, they were still considered top players among the others. Even if they didn’t make any money from it, it still wouldn’t cost them that much to get some decent equipment.

“Bro, don’t even get me started. The drop rate for the game is super low. Plus, most of the stimulator players aren’t established yet. They can’t even provide us with basic needs. Although the game doesn’t have much restriction, it’s still a really difficult game to play. Most of them that I know have already put in a lot of money just to play the game. I really haven’t heard of anyone who actually earned money from Divine Land,” Wen Dong said helplessly.

“Ming, what is your name in that game?” Lan Xin suddenly asked.

Then, Jiang Ming casually replied, “Misty River.”

“Misty River?!”

When they heard Jiang Ming’s name in the game, both Lan Xin and Wen Dong got a huge shock.

This definitely wasn’t the first time that they had heard this name. Not only was it heard over the server announcement, but his name was also all over the forum and it had always been on the top posts. It was difficult not to know who Misty River was.

“What’s wrong? Why do you both look so startled?” Jiang Ming couldn’t understand their reaction.

“Uh… Shouldn’t we be shocked? You are the first player to reach level 10, the first player to come up with your own skill. When most of the players were level 3, you already had bronze equipment. You even killed three players in the novice village. Not only that, you bought all the ores from the stimulator players which cost a total of 20 gold coins when the game just started. All these things together, don’t you think it’s enough to surprise us?” Wen Dong continued. “You bought the ores just so you can make some weapons of your own right? This means that your fusion skills should be very high by now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t waste your time buying the ores, you could have just directly bought equipment instead! Brother Ming!! Bring me along! I need equipment too!”

“Although everything that you said is not completely true, but you’re right. Most of my equipment is self-made. Just come to the number 8 premium store in Marketplace when you log into the game later. I will give you some of my equipment.”

Wen Dong’s analytic skills had always been good and he could always see the bigger picture which was why Jiang Ming wasn’t surprised when he could easily figure out why Jiang Ming bought all the ores.

“Hahahaha, then I shall be one of your followers then.” Wen Dong got excited upon hearing Jiang Ming’s reply.

“Sure, but you’ll have to join the demon faction,” Jiang Ming replied as he nodded his head.

“Hmm… you guys go ahead, I’ll get some plates for the dishes.”

When Lan Xin knew that Jiang Ming was doing pretty well in the game, she was delighted. She smiled and said to both of them. After that, she picked up the bags that were on the table and walked towards the kitchen.

“It’s okay. I can talk to him later. Let me do it. You’re still a little weak.”

When Jiang Ming saw Lan Xin walking towards the kitchen, he immediately stopped her and asked her to rest.

“Dingdong~~”

At the same time, the doorbell rang.

“You both can continue in the kitchen. I’ll get the door.”

When Wen Dong heard the doorbell, he shouted to both Jiang Ming and Lan Xin who were in the kitchen and went towards the door.
