At this moment, No One began to message the team members about what was happening.
Among the group, Lady Lam seemed the most emotional.
She appeared to be the most affected by this storyline.
"Terrible, just terrible!!! Damn developers! Who asked you to make me cry with these onions!!!"
No One gave a wry smile; Lady Lam had always been a romantic at heart. It wasn't surprising she reacted this way.
Lady Lam grabbed No One's shoulders and shook him.
"Alright! Spill it! What do we have to do?"
Everyone agreed they needed to help reunite the two.
If not for the story, then for the dungeon.
Phantom of The Immortal Blade no longer appeared in the dungeon.
At least not for the four who had triggered the Hidden Storyline.
"Now we will split into two groups instead of one like before. The four who unlocked the Hidden Storyline will focus on resolving it. Meanwhile, Sword of Love, TwinBird, Hana, and Hau Hau Noodle will form a team to face Phantom of The Immortal Blade, but in its Demonic form."
Everyone nodded.
Currently, Lady Lam, Cherished Dream, Ye Yu, and No One couldn't continue with the boss until they completed their task.
Allowing the other four to keep fighting the boss might hinder progressing the storyline.
That said, the team consisting of Phantom Blade, Musician, Falconer, and Ranger wasn't fully optimized yet.Sword of Love didn't see any problem; he had always preferred fighting bosses over completing quests.
TwinBird and Hau Hau Noodle felt the same way.
However, Hana was a bit hesitant.
She had just started playing and actually preferred the stories in the game over battling bosses.
But to help everyone, she remained silent.
Cherished Dream seemed to notice Hana's unease.
"Hana, do you want to do the Hidden Storyline?" Cherished Dream asked directly.
"Oh! Yes?" Hana was a bit surprised that Cherished Dream had guessed her thoughts.
"That's right, Hana has always preferred reading romance stories over farming monsters, right?" Sword of Love laughed heartily.
"Ouch!!!"
Hana covered his mouth, blushing, and stomped on his foot.
At this moment, Lady Lam patted Hana's head.
"If our little Hana wants, then we'll arrange a team to go through the Hidden Storyline again."
"Don't worry, Hana, our guild never forces anyone to do anything. I'm just assigning roles, but if anyone wants to do something else, we'll rearrange things. It's no problem," No One smiled.
"But if I leave, the team will lack a support role. Will that be okay?" Hana was concerned.
"It's okay, if you want to follow everyone to do the Hidden Storyline, just leave the boss fighting to me!" Sword of Love replied cheerfully.
Hana finally smiled and nodded.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Everyone began planning their tasks.
Then they dispersed.
At that moment, Ye Yu pulled No One aside.
"Senior Brother, so what should we do?""Brother, what do you mean by crossing the Sea of Flames?"
"Just crossing the Sea of Flames, that's all," No One pointed to the large ring of fire encircling the City of Azure Flames.
Ye Yu was stunned. He smiled, but still asked with a hint of doubt, "Really?"
He was excited. This was something everyone thought was impossible. The flames burned painfully, almost instantaneously causing instant death.
The impossible always has its own allure. Everyone wants to accomplish the impossible. But can they do it?
"Yes."
"But the master already said, the Sea of Flames is part of the fragment, how can you bring someone across it?" Ye Yu questioned.
No One opened his friends interface.
"With this."
"Hey, kid? What's up?"
Ye Yu was startled as Sword of Love suddenly appeared beside them.
No One pointed to the info panel that had just appeared on his screen for Ye Yu to see.
[Sword of Love has teleported to your location.]
Ye Yu's eyes widened.
Amazing!
Amazing indeed!
How can you even think of that?
"Senior brother, I bow to you as a disciple."
"You are something beyond human now."
Ye Yu began to kneel on the ground.
"Enough." No One directly kicked him away.
Ye Yu kept the smile on his face.
"No worries, I pressed the wrong button, go on," No One told Sword of Love.
Immediately, Sword of Love grabbed him by the head, slapped him a few times, and then left.
Ah, so that's how it is!
It's the friend teleportation system!
The game's friend system not only allows players to befriend other players, but also NPCs!
Many players are attracted to NPCs and spend a lot of money to increase their favorability points.
Upon reaching a certain threshold, players can invite NPCs to teleport to their location, just like with friends.
"The issue now is raising the favorability of the Heavenly Demon In Black."
No One pointed to the system panel.
【Heavenly Demon In Black - Favorability 125/10000】
【Favorability reward milestones:】
【Favorability 1000 - Heavenly Demon In Black Avatar】
【Favorability 3000 - Job Change Invitation】
【Favorability 5000 - Special Weapon Appearance】
【Favorability 7000 - Heavenly Demon In Black Outfit】
【Favorability 10000 - NPC Teleportation】
As No One thought, the developers definitely intended for the Heavenly Demon In Black to be a key character.
Normally, reaching 1000 would allow NPC teleportation already.
That's unbelievable.
...
10000?
Ye Yu was stunned.
When will that ever be done?
Master, we've been your disciples, and favorability is only 125?Oh no, senior brother has 125, but I only have 50.
"Senior brother... Does this mean that from now on I have to go meet the master every day to take on tasks to increase favorability?"
"No."
"No? Then how are we supposed to reach 10,000 favorability?"
"The Mystic Art Of Dollar Divine Palm."
Immediately, No One pulled out 10 Eternal Flower Bouquets.
Ye Yu was shocked.
What the heck?
Senior brother, you really know how to play!!!!!!
Eternal Flower Bouquet is a purchased item through in-game currency and can increase favorability by 100 points.
Wait a minute.
"Senior brother, isn’t one bouquet worth 360 Gold Ingots? My weekly allowance for breakfast is only enough to buy one bouquet."
Breakfast money?
Ye Yu, how old are you, really?
"Don't worry, we have a sponsor."
Ting
While Ye Yu was looking at No One's system panel, a letter was sent to him.
【You have a mail with attachments from Lady Lam.】
【Received 100 Eternal Flower Bouquets】
【No One: Lady Lam, I told you 90 bouquets were enough.】
【Lady Lam: The amount of gold ingots was an odd number, so I bought more to round it off. Just keep them.】
【If you need anything else, just let me know.】
...
Ye Yu couldn't say anything.
Big sister, please let me cling to your feet and live a luxury life.
After No One informed Lady Lam about his plan, she immediately sent him the items.
This event really hit the big sister’s weak spot, didn’t it?
"Alright, let's go—Ye Yu, what are you doing?"
Ye Yu had started recording in the game.
"I want to capture the scene of the Heavenly Demon In Black receiving 110 Eternal Flower Bouquets."
No One didn’t know what to say.
Do as you please.
.

"MASTER!!!!!!"
The Heavenly Demon In Black, sitting in the Grand Hall, was startled.
This fool, did he forget something?
She wiped her tears with her hand and stood up to look at him.
"What is it? I’ve already told you that no disturbances are allowed in my Grand Ha—"
Instantly, No One activated 110 bouquets.
Almost immediately, the entire Grand Hall was engulfed by the overlapping bouquet effects.
The dim hall suddenly seemed to glow.
The scene was absolutely magnificent, with countless flowers blooming throughout the Grand Hall.
The world channel also buzzed with notifications.
【Player No One secretly admires the Heavenly Demon In Black, gifting her 110 Eternal Flower Bouquets.】
A pink hue filled the Grand Hall.
【Due to the effect of 110 Eternal Flower Bouquets, the location Grand Hall will be illuminated by the Rose Effect for 110 days.】The once dim Grand Hall had now transformed into a sea of flowers.
"W-What..?"
The Heavenly Demon In Black was confused about what was happening.
"From now on, we're best buddies, damn it."
No One grinned widely.
Ye Yu captured the entire scene of the grand hall turning into a sea of flowers, unable to hold back a laugh, he covered his mouth.
