Chapter 7

The purpose of Milk Tea Small Crisp bringing Ji Xiao Li to the World Martial Arts Tournament was to a.s.sess his teacher's performance and pinpoint the problem with his operation.

Based off Ji Xiao Li's cultivation, he should be pretty good at Pk, not deserving of ranking only at the 18th level. In fact, ranking first on the top 119 jingji leaderboard wouldn't be strange.

But he is ranked 18 only.

【Milk Tea Small Crisp: Are you aware of the skills of a Huashan?】

Ji Xiao Li quickly opened up and each and every one of his skills to check, then with the fastest speed possible, responded:【Of course I know!】

【Milk Tea Small Crisp: Then what about the combos?】

Ji Xiao Li subconsciously wanted to search it up on Baidu.

[百度 (baidu) – China's most popular internet portal and search engine, similar to google/bing/yahoo,etc.]

　　【Milk Tea Small Crisp: You cannot go on Baidu.】

　　【Teacher Orders a Salute: ……】

….How could this unfortunate disciple resembled more of a teacher than him?

　　Milk Tea Small Crisp:【You are completely oblivious to the skills of a Huashan. Neither do you know how to properly utilize its combos and techniques. Therefore, every time you PK, you have never truly controlled the tide of battle. You've only……】he paused,【fought at your heart's whims.】

…. His playing modus was clearly playing here and there as he liked.

Disciple really is too good, still trying to save face for him.

Ji Xiao Li received the instructions helplessly with a guilty conscience.

Listening to Milk Tea Small Crisp patiently teaching him the various Huashan PK techniques, Ji Xiao Li felt he half understood what was said and half did not.

Slowly, Ji Xiao Li felt the time intervals between his disciple's responses began to lengthen.

　　【Teacher Orders a Salute: disciple, are you busy?】

　　After a short while, Milk Tea Small Crisp replied:【En, I'm occupied with something.】

　　Ji Xiao Li:【Ah, what is it?】

Milk Tea Small Crisp had not yet returned when a 4-yuan megaphone flew pa.s.sed his head.

　　【Megaphone】Bei Yuan: Milk Tea Small Crisp, look at your PMs.

　　Ji Xiao Li: "the f.u.c.k???"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ji Xiao Li's head for he didn't know when his family's disciple acquainted herself with the Emei-das.h.i.+jie. Soon, another megaphone was sent.

【Megaphone】Bei Yuan: Are you selling the boots?

Eh? boots?

Ji Xiao Li dumbly opened up his disciple's equipment panel to examine Milk Tea Small Crisp's boots.

【Equipment: Spring Jianxi, Jiuya Lingquan and Perilla Boots】

　　【Forger: Milk Tea Small Crisp】

　　【Gem: Sapphire lvl. 10】

　　【Attribute: Water attack +41】

　　【Ability: Hands of Rejuvenation】

[妙手回春 (miao shou hui chun) – magical hands bring the dying back to life]

　　Ji Xiao Li whispered: "I also have a level 10 gem, a water attribute of 41 might be a tad higher than expected and the ability is the 'Hands of Rejuvenation.' What. isn't it just the hands….of…. rejuvenation….f.u.c.k?!"

Ji Xiao Li pressed his face to the cellphone in horror, mulling over the last four words of the equipment disbelieving.

　　『Ability: Hands of Rejuvenation』

　　Ability……

　　The！Hands！Of！Rejuvenation！

In Knight Errant Road, the most effective way of raising your strength is by forging armors and equipment. Embedding gems, increasing attributes, and installing abilities were all ways of improving your equipment.

Among these, the ability of an equipment is its most metaphysical property.

Abilities of equipment are divided into four colored categories, namely: white, blue, purple, and gold abilities.

But in the minds of players, there were actually five types of abilities; for gold abilities were further divided into ordinary gold abilities and advanced gold abilities.

Everyday YueJian ChunHe would release megaphones to buy and sell gold abilities.

White and blue abilities can be obtained just by randomly walking around. Purple and golden abilities, however, can only be won by drawing lot, meaning money has to be expended in the process.

Jianghu has a little joke, Emei were divided into three categories: regular Emei, Emei bigshots, and Emeis with the Hand of Rejuvenation.

Ji Xiao Li was so jealous he could drop his phone to the floor.

【Small Cherry Blossom: Life Rejuvenating Hands. QAQ wuwuwu, mama, it's the Hand of Rejuvenation!】

【Emei Poor Disciple: how can the disparity between men be this big, Milk Tea da lao, I beg you to let me touch your boots just once! Our district's one and only Hand of Rejuvenation has finally showed up!】

[大佬(da lao) – big shot (leading some field or group); G.o.dfather.]

【Simmer-fried Chicken: Wicked European, truly a wicked European! The drop rate of golden abilities is only a measly 1/2500. Last week YueJian ChunHe wasted 800,000 rmb just to draw one garbage golden skill.】

*This is not meant to be racist. So European in Chinese is 歐洲人 (Ou Zhou Ren), and 歐 (Ou) is an chinese internet slang meaning someone with a rich air.

【Tribal Chief: You deceitful heavens! I am willing to live without a tintin in my next life so please give me a golden ability!】

Ji Xiao Li nodded his head profoundly in agreement.

He didn't really want to be without a tintin but he did really want to join in and scream: "wicked European!"

However this wicked European was his disciple.

Ji Xiao Li looked at the white-robed Emei in his mobile screen with complicated eyes.

　　【Disciple……】

　　【En?】

　　【Disciple……】

　　【wuwuwu, disciple, how are you so Ou*! Tell me truthfully, when exactly did you obtain the Hands of Rejuvenation? How much money did you spend, dammit! How much?!】

*I know this was literally like five seconds ago, but in case anyone forgot: " 歐 (Ou) is an chinese internet slang meaning someone with a rich air."

[嗚嗚嗚 (wuwuwu) – boo hoo; crying]

The money she spent was definitely in the thousands, just like the wicked YueJian ChunHe who spent 800k just to draw one!

【Milk Tea Small Crisp: I had it before I became your disciple.】

Ji Xiao Li was unable to react properly:【Wha?】

【Milk Tea Small Crisp: Every new player has a free draw for their first time.】

【Teacher Orders a Salute: ……】

His disciple took one try and immediately drew out the Hands of Rejuvenation. This luck was truly not bad!

As for him, the amount he spent on buying lotteries…

…actually, that is a story for another time.

Ji Xiao Li was unresponsive for a long while, forcing Milk Tea Small Crisp to send a "?"

A few minutes pa.s.sed.

【Teacher?】

【I'm thinking of how to evict you from the sect.】

【？】

【Our sect does not have a disciple who illegally immigrates to Europe like you!】

【……】

Ji Xiao Li was unaware but Milk Tea Small Crisp was in fact only half-listening to him.

The other half of his attention was wasted incessantly on deleting the bouts of PMs in his mailbox.

After news of his having the Hands of Rejuvenation was spread, not even half an hour later, at least 100 players have PMed him looking to suck some of his 'Ou' energy.

They pleaded desperately for Milk Tea Small Crisp to spread some of her 'Ou' breath so that they too can draw the Hands of Rejuvenation.

There were also a numerous portion of high-ranking Emei looking to buy Milk Tea Small Crisp's boots.

Milk Tea Small Crisp calmly deleted his PMs starting from those sent from the first ranked Emei, second ranked Emei, forth ranked Emei…..- all the way up to 21st ranked Emei.

He didn't even bat an eye at them, for he did not care what they said nor what price they offered.

Some of the Emei dlao found it hard to hold back.

【Megaphone】Small Buddhist Emei Nun: Milk Tea Small Crisp, have you checked your PMs yet?

【Megaphone】Pipe Tobacco: Milk Tea Small Crisp, I want to buy your boots, set a price.

Both were high ranking Emei-da lao.

Ji Xiao Li found it a bit bizarre:【disciple, are they PMing you?】

【Yes.】

【Are you going to sell your boots?】

Ji Xiao Li knows his family's disciple is well-off so perhaps she has no plans to sell it.

But immediately afterwards, he saw another megaphone appear on screen….

【Megaphone】Bei Yuan: I offer 100k.

f.u.c.kkity f.u.c.k f.u.c.k!!!

Ji Xiao Li bounced off his bed, ran to his computer, and opened up the game – typing ferociously:

【100k ah disciple! 100k!!!】

Even the nouveau-riche Ji Xiao Li was stunned dumb at the number.

Milk Tea Small Crisp did not respond causing Bei Yuan to unexpectedly release another megaphone.

【Megaphone】Bei Yuan: 200k. This time it is impossible for anyone to bid higher than me.　

Every player: "……"

Ji Xiao Li: "……"

He really wants to bind this disciple and sell her to dlao!!!

Milk Tea Small Crisp sent a private message to Ji Xiao Li: 【No selling.】

【Ah?】

Albeit initially confused, Ji Xiao Li quickly understood his disciple was referring to the boots and not the issue regarding selling her—ahem.

【Teacher Orders a Salute: ……No, disciple, 200k, do you see this number? Bei Yuan dlao is offering you 200k!】

【Milk Tea Small Crisp: Bei Yuan dlao? Weren't you just saying how much you disliked her two days ago?】

Ji Xiao Li shamelessly replied:【I can only kneel in face of her money……】

The white robed Emei suddenly moved, circling twice around Ji Xiao Li introspectively.

Ji Xiao Li couldn't understand what she was doing and only saw a sudden 4-yuan megaphone fly pa.s.sed his avatar's head.

【Megaphone】YueJian ChunHe: 300k.

A dumb look flashed across Ji Xiao Li's face, and then he saw the white-robed Emei squat down to his level.

Although the words that appeared next were clearly void of any emojis, he somehow felt like they were full of mirth, laughing at him.

【So……teacher, are you going to kneel for YueJian ChunHe too?】

Ji Xiao Li: "……"

Like h.e.l.l I will, you're mentally ill ah!!!
