49: Chapter 49 Recognizing the Identity

Li Qing screamed in terror.

The Butcher behind him, like a wronged young widow, wildly chased after him, brandishing two cleavers.

In that instant, the scene... was a bit comical?

At this moment, Jiang He, who had dodged to the side, was continuously 'feeding himself milk' without cooldown, like a dairy cow.

With the assistance of the other healers, his health had already recovered by seventy to eighty percent.

Inside the mine, two voices continuously echoed.

"Damnable human, when this King catches you, I'll chop you into a thousand pieces!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, please forgive my rudeness..." Li Qing was utterly terrified, his voice hoarse as he cried out.

Jiang He felt a bit awkward.

This guy actually apologized to the BOSS?

Seeing that the Butcher was about to catch him, Jiang He made his move.

First, he threw two Blood Speech Techniques, intending to pull the aggro back.

After all, he couldn't just watch Li Qing be chopped into pieces and fed to... bats!

But the next second?

The Butcher completely ignored Jiang He's attacks.

It seemed to only have eyes for Li Qing, chasing him relentlessly like a lover.

You are in me, and I am in you.

"No way? Just one insult? Aggro maxed out instantly?"

Jiang He was speechless. This Demon Butcher not only had a small stature but an even smaller mind.

In that case...

"Xiao Yao, full firepower output."

He no longer intended to keep up the pretense. Anyway, with Bai Luoyao's intelligence, his identity couldn't be hidden much longer.

Bai Luoyao secretly chuckled: Hmph, now he knows to call me Xiao Yao, didn't he just call me 'boss' a moment ago?

"Everyone attack!" But she still issued the command according to Jiang He's wishes.

Immediately, sparks flew, Fireball Techniques, Fatal Charges, Frost Spells, and Taunts all landed on the Butcher.

But the guy just kept targeting Li Qing.

Seeing that the Butcher was left with critical health, Jiang He stopped attacking.

Bai Luoyao delivered the final Frost Spell, and the Butcher fell with a look of regret in its eyes.

[Congratulations to player Luo Yao's team for defeating the hidden-level BOSS, Demon Butcher! Reward: All team members +1 level, First Kill Treasure Chest *13]

Everyone looked over; a golden light covered the ground in front of the Butcher.

Bai Luoyao immediately sent people to pick up the equipment.

She then leisurely walked towards Jiang He with Xiao Xue.

At this moment, Jiang He's face was flushed with embarrassment, still unsure how to explain.

Especially just now, Xiao Xue had cried so much, yet he hadn't revealed his identity.

"Ahem... Chuan Liu Bu Xi?" Bai Luoyao's lips curled into a playful smirk.

Jiang He scratched his head: "Xiao Yao, can you stop teasing me?"

At this moment, Xiao Xue walked over with a pouting mouth and tearful eyes, throwing herself into his arms and pounding his back with her hands.

"Wuwu... Stinky big brother, bad big brother, you even lied to Xiao Xue."

"Ah... this... I... sigh..." Jiang He truly didn't know what to say.

"Alright, Xiao Xue, your big brother has his reasons, you should understand him," Bai Luoyao said, trying to smooth things over.

Jiang He cast a grateful look at her.

Just then, Mumu walked over with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Brother, this person?" she asked, pointing at Bai Luoyao.

As Jiang He was about to speak, Mumu showed an expression that said, 'I get it'.

"Oh... is she your sister-in-law?"

Although Mumu was a gaming novice, she wasn't foolish.

Even though she hadn't been in the game world for long, she had guessed some things about her brother.

He had a hidden ID and even changed his appearance.

High combat power, abnormal equipment, and most importantly, he was rich...

To say he was a new player?

Only a ghost would believe that!

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Jiang He glared at her crossly.

Bai Luoyao lowered her head, not daring to speak, her cheeks blushing.

"This is your Sister Xiao Yao and Sister Xiao Xue..."

Through Jiang He's introduction, Bai Luoyao had already guessed Mumu's identity.

She walked over and held Mumu's hand: "Mumu, I believe you will wake up. From now on, big sister will protect you."

"And me, I'll protect you too," Xiao Xue immediately linked arms with Mumu, looking at her with great affection.

Mumu was naturally friendly.

Less than three minutes later, the three of them were walking hand-in-hand like sisters to watch others pick up equipment?

Jiang He awkwardly followed behind them.

After tallying the equipment, it wasn't bad.

Several Chaos-tier items and two Starlight-tier items dropped.

Just as everyone was preparing to return to Chang'an, Jiang He pulled Bai Luoyao aside, his face embarrassed as he said:

"Um... can I ask you for a favor?"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"I'm going offline soon. Could you please help me look after Mumu?"

Bai Luoyao was puzzled: "Why are you going offline again? Don't you have a game pod? Or should I mail one to you?"

Jiang He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's not that, it's my mom."

It turned out this was a rule set by Mother Jiang.

Although she knew that game pods could provide energy to the human body, making it unnecessary to go offline to sleep or eat.

She still disagreed.

"Humans are flesh and blood. If you don't eat, don't sleep, don't move your body, and just lie in a game pod, what's the difference from a dead person?"

However, it wasn't just Mother Jiang who held this view at home.

Even his uncle and aunt thought the same.

They also said that if he couldn't do it, they wouldn't let him go online to help Mumu.

Out of helplessness, Jiang He had to agree to them.

Every day he would go offline for a few hours to rest, exercise, eat, and shower.

Bai Luoyao nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Mumu. I absolutely won't let her come to any harm."

Jiang He thanked her, then turned and called out: "Qingzi, going offline."

"Alright, big brother, I'm logging off now."

Li Qing's heart rate was probably at 180 right now.

Just a moment ago, Bai Luoyao had told him to choose any equipment on the ground.

If he didn't want the equipment, he could also exchange it for money, either in-game currency or Huaxia currency.

Li Qing didn't even think about it and immediately asked for money.

The transaction went smoothly, and 150,000 was credited to his account.

He felt like it was all a dream.

He just cursed the BOSS twice and earned 150,000?

This money... was too easy to earn, wasn't it?

Exiting the game.

Jiang He took off his helmet.

Looking up at the ceiling, it was only nine in the morning in the real world.

According to the family rules, he could only go online after dinner in the afternoon.

The gaming helmet he wore was the collector's edition that Bai Luoyao had given him earlier.

Although it didn't have the function of providing energy.

It could put a person in a sleep-like state, so they weren't tired at all, but rather very refreshed.

Just as he was about to get up and take a shower.

The anti-theft door was knocked loudly.

Jiang He walked to the living room and opened the door.

Li Qing pounced on him like an excited monkey.

"Brother, do you know how much money we just made?"

Jiang He chuckled: "How much?"

Li Qing tremblingly held up three fingers, thought for a moment, then lifted one of Jiang He's hands and gestured: "Ten... one hundred and fifty thousand."

Jiang He pretended to be surprised: "That much? Then let's split the money!"

Li Qing nodded, still planning the steps for splitting the money in his mouth.

After his detailed and meticulous calculations.

He ended up keeping 500 yuan for himself.

Jiang He laughed. You calculated for so long? To keep five hundred for yourself?
