Chapter 65 - Recruit teammates

  "Does it feel good?"

  "Mm, a bit faster."

  "Are you done yet? I'm about to give out."

  "Almost there, don't stop."

  "I can't take it anymore, I'm done, ah~"

  ....

  In the bedroom, Lin Feng lay comfortably on the bed, enjoying Fang Zhiqiu's shoulder and back massage service.

  After massaging for over half an hour, Fang Zhiqiu collapsed into a chair, refusing to continue no matter what.

  Lin Feng, still wanting more, said, "Finished so soon? We agreed on an hour."

  "Spare me, my hands are cramping. I'll make it up to you next time, okay?"

  "Alright, I'll hold you to that."

  Lin Feng sat up comfortably from the bed.

  Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiu immediately perked up and asked energetically.

  "Now can you tell me who the expert is? Who taught you the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand and Treading on Snow Without a Trace?"

  Knowing that Lin Feng had learned two Profound Grade martial arts in Seven Heroes Town, Fang Zhiqiu was envious and kept pestering Lin Feng playfully.

  Lin Feng decided not to tease her anymore and said, "Bai Zhantang from Tongfu Inn."

  "What? Isn't he just a waiter?"

  "That's just on the surface. In reality, he's an expert, at least Second Rate in strength."

  "That amazing? In a backwater place like Seven Heroes Town, there's someone above Second Rate?" Fang Zhiqiu was shocked.

  "That's because you haven't seen much. There are even First Rate experts."

  "Really? Then how did you get him to teach you martial arts? Tell me, I want to learn too!"

  Fang Zhiqiu urged.

  "My trick only works once. It won't work again. You can try mentioning my name, maybe it'll help. I have a decent relationship with him."

  Lin Feng wasn't sure if Bai Zhantang would teach Fang Zhiqiu martial arts. Logically, the chances were slim, but he suggested she try her luck.

  "I'm going right now! Bye!"

  Fang Zhiqiu said as she was about to leave, but Lin Feng grabbed her.

  Unexpectedly, Lin Feng pulled too hard and ended up pulling her into his arms.

  In Lin Feng's embrace, Fang Zhiqiu looked adorably confused, and the next second she realized what happened, her cute face turning red.

  "You, you, you... what are you doing? I'm your sister."

  Lin Feng rolled his eyes and helped her up, saying, "I have a favor to ask you."

  Realizing her misunderstanding, Fang Zhiqiu felt a bit embarrassed and stammered, "Oh... what is it?"

  "I heard you're a big shot on the forums?"

  "Of course, my ID on the forums is officially recognized as Dr. Know-it-all, with over ten million fans. My posts have received over a billion likes and been shared millions of times. It's not just an empty reputation."

  "That's great, help me post something. No one reads my posts."

  "Oh? Let me see."

  Fang Zhiqiu sat at Lin Feng's computer and couldn't help but laugh at his pathetic newbie stats.

  "Many people have been on these forums for over ten years. You joined so late, not even at level one. People probably think you're a scammer, haha."

  Lin Feng sighed, "That's why I'm asking you. Use your account to post for me."

  "No problem."

  After saying that, Fang Zhiqiu logged into her account. Only then did she curiously ask Lin Feng what task he wanted to post. Earlier, she was too focused on his post stats to check the content.

  When she heard Lin Feng wanted to offer a reward for finding the hiding place of the Southwest Three Poisons, she was surprised.

  "Why are you looking for the Southwest Three Poisons?"

  "You know about them too?"

  "Of course, the Southwest Three Poisons are poison masters who drifted from the southwestern wilderness to the Central Plains. They're brutal, bloodthirsty, and extremely skilled with poisons. The leader, Sai Ban, is a Second Rate expert. The second and third, Jin Hengluo and Wu Tugu, are Third Rate martial artists. The three work seamlessly together and are very troublesome. Many players have fallen to them. They're considered one of the top ten bosses in the novice map. Why are you looking for them?"

  "To take them down, complete a task."

  "Are you crazy? These three are known as the nightmare for novice players. Going after them is suicide!" Fang Zhiqiu quickly advised against it.

  Lin Feng knew that facing all three alone would be risky. To be safe, he asked Fang Zhiqiu, "Do you know any experts on the novice map?"

  "Of course, many people have asked me for advice."

  Fang Zhiqiu said as she searched her friend list.

  Since forum accounts sync with game levels and update the current map, finding people was convenient.

  In no time, Fang Zhiqiu found five candidates, all on the novice map and above level 25.

  "Ask them if they're interested in taking on a task. The reward is negotiable; they can name their price."

  Although Fang Zhiqiu opposed Lin Feng's reckless plan, seeing his determination, she messaged the five people. One replied almost immediately.

  "Wow, Dr. Know-it-all is asking me for a task? I'm honored. The reward doesn't matter. Your guidance saved me a lot of trouble back then. I owe you."

  The reply came from a forum player named [Lin Shiba], whose avatar was an anime hooded boy.

  Lin Feng said, "Tell him the task is to kill the Southwest Three Poisons and see if he's interested."

  Fang Zhiqiu nodded and sent the message.

  After sending it, the other party's status showed typing, but no message came for a while.

  Two minutes later, Lin Shiba replied with two words: "Holy crap."

  Then came a series of questions.

  "Seriously? Are you joking, big shot?"

  "You dare to kill the Southwest Three Poisons? You think too highly of me, big shot."

  "It's not that I don't want to help, but I'm really powerless..."

  "How about we change the target?"

  Fang Zhiqiu turned to Lin Feng with a helpless look, saying, "See, no one wants to take this task."

  Lin Feng didn't give up and continued, "Tell him someone else will handle the leader. He just needs to team up with others to take down the second and third."

  Fang Zhiqiu did as told, and after a few minutes, the other party replied.

  "If someone else handles the leader, I can give it a shot. But we need at least three more people with similar strength to mine; otherwise, there's no guarantee against the second and third."

  "Tell him we've already found four. He can come to the Capital City to join us anytime," Lin Feng instructed.

  Fang Zhiqiu was puzzled, "Where did you find four?"

  "We don't have them now, but we will when he arrives. We'll use this method to gather more people," Lin Feng said matter-of-factly.

  "You're too cunning. That's deceitful."

  "Relax, if they get scared, they can leave anytime. I'll cover their travel expenses."

  "Are you really going to kill the Southwest Three Poisons? You're not even a quasi-Third Rate yet."

  "Don't worry, I've got it under control. How about this, let me use your account for now, and you go back to your game."

  Ignoring Fang Zhiqiu's concerns, Lin Feng pushed her out of the room.

  With Fang Zhiqiu's account, posting tasks became much easier for Lin Feng.

  He immediately posted two bounties on the forum: the first to find the Southwest Three Poisons' location, and the second to recruit people.

  After posting, Lin Feng checked the time. It was dawn, meaning it was evening in the game.

  He picked up his phone and sent a message to Huang Xiaogui, saying he wouldn't attend class today and asking him to inform the teacher.

  Then Lin Feng re-entered the game.
