Chapter 268: The Unserious Fairchild
Melody Monroe unleashed an ultimate ability, achieving the highest burst damage of the round.
The minions were all wiped out!
"Mr. Langdon!" Melody Monroe called out.
Zane Langdon used a skill, holding back the giant spider that had suddenly appeared.
"Its attacks are poisonous. Not only will they slow us down, but we’ll also constantly lose health. Leave this one to me."
"Jasper Rockwell, switch positions with me."
"Why?"
"Have some awareness as a healer, will you?"
"Zane Langdon is more than enough to handle this little demon. Why are you so worried?"
Listening to Jasper Rockwell, Melody Monroe thought he was acting strangely today. "This is just the first level. You think it’s that easy to clear?!"
"Who told you two to just form a master-disciple pair instead of getting married? The ’Tying the Knot’ instance is amazing! Otherwise, Zane Langdon would have taken down that number one ranked player long ago!"
"If we can’t clear this level, we can pick up the ’Tying the Knot’ quest when we get out," Zane Langdon’s voice rang out, sounding perfectly calm.
Melody Monroe heard him, but an indescribable feeling washed over her.
She didn’t want to accept that "Tying the Knot" quest. Even in a game, she couldn’t accept it.
Evan Fairchild gripped the pen in his hand. SNAP! It broke in two.
Just then, Tommy sent a message back.
"President Fairchild, I’ve contacted the player with the number one combat power. His asking price is very high." ’President Fairchild never plays games,’ Tommy thought, confused. ’Why would he suddenly want to buy an account?’
He remembered President Fairchild looking down on Master Rockwell for playing games, calling it a waste of time.
"How much?" Evan Fairchild typed back.
"Six hundred and eighty thousand." ’This guy must be crazy,’ Tommy thought. ’Is a game account really worth that much? He clearly just doesn’t want to sell!’
"Wire him the money. Make the transaction immediately. I need it within half an hour."
Tommy choked. ’Is this for real?’
’Was the person he was talking to really President Fairchild? This wasn’t the President Fairchild he knew!’
While messaging Tommy, Evan Fairchild was still paying close attention to what was happening on Jasper Rockwell’s end.
Zane Langdon actually wanted to marry Melody Monroe!
Even if it was just in a game, waves of anger surged within Evan Fairchild.
Jasper Rockwell didn’t care if Evan Fairchild was reacting; he was the type who loved to stir the pot and watch the drama unfold.
"Yeah, once you accept the ’Tying the Knot’ quest, you’ll level up from master and disciple straight to husband and wife. I heard there are all sorts of sweet couple-exclusive instances, too. If you two get married, it’ll probably cause a server-wide sensation!"
"Are you looking down on us? How could we not clear it? We absolutely can," Melody Monroe’s voice immediately rang out.
Hearing Melody Monroe’s voice, Zane Langdon’s hands froze.
He could tell she didn’t want to accept that quest.
Even though it was just in a game, it still mattered to her.
"Mr. Langdon!" Melody Monroe called out when she saw Zane Langdon wasn’t moving.
Zane Langdon immediately snapped out of it and started moving again.
On Evan Fairchild’s end, the anger that had been stuck in his chest finally subsided for the moment.
’If Melody Monroe had dared to agree, he probably would have beaten Jasper Rockwell, who was still playing on his phone, to death.’
Jasper Rockwell, who had thought Evan Fairchild wasn’t reacting at all, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He looked up and met Evan Fairchild’s death glare.
The first floor was cleared. Melody Monroe was no longer picking up everything in sight like she used to.
Now, the person running around the field picking up loot was Keith Coleman.
Evan Fairchild had already gotten the game account and logged in successfully.
He only took five minutes to completely understand the game.
His account only had five friends. One of them was the alt of the previous number one player, and this alt was also ranked in the top ten.
