[Online Gaming] Love You 59 Seconds Chapter 17

Proofreader: Jesse

P.S: My internet connection got disconnected yesterday for the whole day so I was not able to update anything, and I don't like to do mobile update because I felt weird with it. Because I like to reread the chapter again before update it, so I can add more pictures or more explanation into the story if needs to. Therefore, until now that I was able to do any update after have studied for my exam and finished one term paper ^^ 

{Team}[Xiao Wu]: ......=口=

{Team}[Xiao Wu]: I'm heading back

{Team}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Sao Zi 88~ {Bye Bye}

{Team}[Xiao Wu]: =.=

{Team}[Xiao Wu]: Bye Bye

Wu Han Ying said goodbye to the team and then clicked on the button that would return him to Da Li City. The Little Wudang girl started to rub her hands together and then the screen changed to a different display.

When she reached Dali, Wu Han Ying suddenly thought of one thing...his bag was full of Yan Xuan Yu and it seemed that...he had forgotten to change the equipment -_-

Wu Han Ying hesitated for a long moment, he was thinking of moving the little girl from Da Li, to Luo Yang, then to Yan Nam and finally teleport to Yan Bei to change equipment?! After giving it some thought he decided that next time he needs to receive anything from Yan Bei, he will go there to change equipment too. After all he is still at level 50, so he is not in a rush to change the equipment.

Looking at the number 50 next to the avatar on the top left corner of the screen, Wu Han Ying thought it would not be that easy to level up from now on. Although it would be faster with the help from the others in the guild, he could not keep on asking them for help; everyone has their own things to do as well.

After he disbanded the team, Wu Han Ying continued to finish the quests by himself. He alone swept through all the quests in Cangshan and Erhai, he then moved onto the next place. Just like that, the Little Wudang fought off some monsters, after she was done she stopped to consume some bread to restore some HP and then resumed; he played the game in that routine and it quickly started to get dark outside.

He looked at the clock and it was not even seven o'clock, yet the sky outside was covered in a black curtain; the neon lights of a red, yellow, blue and green color flashed in a vague light.

Wu Han Ying stood up and stretched his body, after sitting in front of the laptop killing the monsters for a long time, his shoulders and neck were starting to get tired. He wondered to himself how had he agreed to accept this Wudang account with low HP from that guy?! Having a low HP was one thing, he had heard that the Wudang class has high damage, but he had yet to experience such power. The health and mana potions are really expensive and he really doesn't have much money in his bag, after he made one transaction for the potions it was all gone..

He moved his mouse and clicked so that the screen immediately returned to the login screen. Wu Han Ying looked at the character selection and only "Xiao Wu" stood there, suddenly he wanted to create a new character...

In the middle of the screen was the image of a male character with only a piece of rag clothing on him; he had to say that the male characters in TLBB are not as decent as the female characters. Wu Han Ying still firmly chose a male character.

At the lower left corner, the user can view the sect clothing for max level characters. Knowing this, Wu Han Ying's newly created "warrior" started to alter back and forth on the screen. He switched back and forth for a long time, yet none of the sect clothes looks too appealing to him, so he started to hesitate. For a novice player, it is hard to figure out which class is the most powerful.

Wu Han Ying took a long time to make his decision at the create a new character screen, the system notified him that the time was up and exited to the login screen. He named his character and entered the game. A small male character in green rag clothes appeared on the Da Li map, on top of his head was the name "Xiao Wu."...

Xiao Wu. excitedly jumped around to do some beginner quests. For other people who created a new character in TLBB, they would reach level 30 in two or three hours since the beginner quests are very easy to do. It is mostly just running around town and talking to NPC's, occasionally it would ask you to kill some low level monsters or something. Wu Han Ying spent two hours finishing the quests, at 9:30 he reached level 10...

The player can chose a class at level 10; Xiao Wu. went from one instructor to the next to read each class's specialty. He was definitely not picking the Wudang class this time around since it is hard to level up and it also uses up a lot of potions, which means he ends up spending a huge amount of money on them. After he had made the sixth round in the instructor area, his decision was made, he was determined to join the Emei class!

Wu Han Ying thought this class was perfect for him because it has great attacks and it can rebuff the health bar by itself. He would not have to waste money on the health potions which should allow him to save a lot of money for himself. Plus, Love You 59 Seconds' Emei character looked so handsome which had sparked a worship towards the character and this worship turned into him wanting to have one.

However, a novice player might not know this but the Emei class is the most expensive class in TLBB. Also, the Emei class at a lower level has weak attacks and its rebuff skills only recover a relatively small amount of health points. Not to mention that this class has to buy several skill books after level 35 and those skills cost a lot of money to level up*. In addition, when an Emei character gets into a higher level, it's essential to have a pet with a high HP so it can be used as a shield while it accompanies the Emei in training and themed dungeons..

{Translator Input: In this game, whenever you want to level up your character's skill you have to pay the fixed amount of gold in order to level them up. Buying the book itself is already expensive and then you have to pay each time you level up the skill. As the skill gets to a higher level the more expensive it is T.T I'm playing a Tianshan on a mobile game and I spent like a million of gold just to level up her skill; not to mention her gear is getting even more expensive when you want to get the rare and powerful one >.> and that is just for Tianshan (Assassin) class. I don't even want to think what it is like for Emei @[email protected] Also in this game, pets are not for show; each pet possess a different function, some pets are used to be the shield for the player, where the pet will take all the damage from the player. A pet is a luxury item; you can only buy them with ingot, game money that can be bought with real money.}

The kind of Emei that was like XC that can attack monsters and rebuff itself would only exist to make others feel jealous, but Wu Han Ying had forgotten that Love You 59 Seconds' attacking skill had always been first place in the server. Not to mention that Love You 59 Seconds is well-known for being one of the wealthy men in the game since he owned the other male character wearing a full set of level 7 stone equipment. Honestly, he could easily kill other players with just normal attacks...

Wu Han Ying struggled the whole night with the game and at 11 o'clock his Xiao Wu. finally got to level 25 and he remembered that this character could join a guild at this level. He ended up running over to the guild NPC, he turned page after page to find his guild and then clicked join.

Wu Han Ying was about to logout and then log back into his Xiao Wu account so he could add his small account into the guild, but before he could do that the system made a notification sound and the lower right corner guild tab was flashing nonstop. He clicked on it and saw that he had been accepted into the guild.

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Aiyo, this is Sao Zi's small account

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: This really is Sao Zi...

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Sao Zi, you are also training a small account

{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: Little Bangzhu, I really have nothing to say to you. You named this account just like a warehouse account*.

{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Oh, Sao Zi played a male account, and it's an EM(Emei)

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: Uh.

{Translator Input: Some gamers will create small accounts with the purpose of storing items since there is a limit to each character's inventory, even when you max it out there is still a limit. So by creating a new account, you can expand the inventory to double and store more items. I have like ten accounts in MapleStory, in which I stored stones and herbs in all of those accounts ^^}

No doubt, it must be Love You 59 Seconds who added him into the guild, after all he is the Deputy Lead.

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Whoa!!!

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Aaaaaaaa

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Evil Sao Zi T-T you and Lao Da are taunting us fujoshi ah

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Lao Da, hurry and come to Suzhou, come here and hug Sao Zi. We all want to take a screenshot of it

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: TvT I also want a screenshot, Sao Zi you're so nice

{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: .......you fujoshi people =.= really cannot be saved

{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Hugging shoulder, Xiao Yan, let's go to sleep. Let them go all haywire by themselves

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Ao Ao!!! {howling sound}

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Go Go Junzi!!!! I like that!!! Hurry and go to sleep!!! Ao wu wu

{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: (Furious Expression) You did it on purpose!

{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: I am logging out now, so you all can go haywire

{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Good night everyone, I am also logging out

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Waving handkerchief, sweet dreams~~Oh

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: What a wonderful night, hihi

............

It seemed like it was always this cheerful in the guild, Wu Han Ying felt 囧囧. Since it had passed 11 o'clock at night not many people were online now, but seeing that Xiang Zuo Kan and Qian Qian Junzi were being teased by everyone, he could not help but laugh evilly; after all it was better than having them tease him all the time.

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: Still on?

{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: Um

{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: The power is not out on the weekends, so I can play all night

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: Um

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: Why are you playing an EM?

{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: Uh...Wudang uses lots of potions, which costs a lot of money...

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: ......

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: You think that EM is not costly

{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: Yup

{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: EM can recover their own blood bar, so there is no need to buy health potions

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: EM use lots of mana potions...

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: EM class skills are costly

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: EM skill books are expensive

{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: EM has to buy equipment to boost HP

{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: ............

End of Chapter 17

Translator Note:

[1] "Xiao Wu." and "Xiao Wu"

Wu Han Ying created a new character named Xiao Wu.; please pay attention the [.] at the end of the name. If you see "Xiao Wu" - it's the female Wudang; if you see "Xiao Wu." - it's the male EM. Both characters are being played by Wu Han Ying; I want to make this note because it might cause a lot of confusion if I don't mention it ^^

[2] About EM in TLBB

I have to go over this a bit. Emei class in TLBB is comparable with Magician class in western games. As someone who has been playing magician in all of my games (mostly Maplestory), this class is really powerful and freaking awesome with great power and terrific damage at MAX LEVEL, meaning you have to be somewhere that your skill level is considered to be "powerful", then it's very fun to play. BUT at lower levels, magicians are the class that cost a god damn lot of money. Imagine that you attack 10 monsters and you're out of Mana Points; you have to refill, and as the rule goes mana potions costs more than health potions >.> So unless you have a main character with a lot of money (like me, I have like 500 million golds in my game bank which helps me manage three magician accounts), then magician class is just a piece of cake; if you don't have a stable financial backing, then good luck =.= Oh and the attack for magicians at a lower level is VERY low and it always exhausts your character out T.T That's why my best advice to all novice players, don't play magician class if you are just starting to play the game; start with a much better class where you use weapons that doesn't require a refill, meaning warrior or assassin (that uses swords, not throwing stars >.>)
