Chapter 214 What Is Bella?
There were only two solutions for when a person ran into such a problenore the problem, as it was impossible to solve, or to rack one’s brain and think hard for the solution
Of course, Ye Ci was not one to give up Even if the quest felt rigged, it didn’t ive up just like that
Ye Ci would never give up without even trying to solve a problem So, she dismounted from Ol’ Four and circled the to, she was able to find a clue on a slab of stone that was covered by a thin layer of soil
The to winds in the Mausoleu the slab of stone had existed However, that wasn’t i noas for Ye Ci to find a se
If Ye Ci still couldn’t figure out whather own level of intelligence The solution was so obvious that even an idiot could figure it out When the main characters in a TV show had to think hard for a solution to a trivial problem such as this, one could say that the producers of the shoere lowering the IQ level of the audience and challenging their patience at the same time Oh, we seem to have strayed off topic, but I’ve wanted to say this for a long time: Please don’t think of the readers and audience as idiots, alright? Can the producers and script writers out there please increase the quality of your work?
Oops, I seeht, let us continue with the story of Ye Ci
Ye Ci ie out of her inventory and placed it in the indentation She then waited beside the to to all her knowledge of dra soon A rock hiding a hidden cave so the labyrinth hidden within Thereand thunder acco the appearance of so extraordinary
This won’t happen in the game, will it? Ye Ci stared at the tombstone and waited… And waited…
Onehappened
Twohappened
…
Fivehappened
…
Ten ed You’ve got to be kidding me! Even if she hated the usual tropes employed in TV series andat all? Wouldn’t it be less infuriating?
Fla in Ye Ci’s heart She stood up and stared emotionlessly at the tombstone If she was a man she would’ve pulled down her pants, pointed her ‘accessory’ at the tombstone, and peed on it to vent her frustration However, she was female, which meant that she didn’t have that particular piece of ‘equiper, “Oi, Bella, I don’t care if you’re dead or alive, or even if you’re the fcking torave!”
However, the only response to Ye Ci’s violent outburst were the strong winds in the Mausoleu past Ye Ci’s ears were like taunts to her, causing her anger to continue to boil She knew that the developers had a tendency to play pranks on the players, but as someone who’d never experienced it first hand in the past, Ye Ci had thought nothing of it Nohen it had finally happened to her, Ye Ci felt that all the developers should be drowned in a whisker basket, especially that guy nanan, as iust of chilly wind on his back He shivered at the sudden coldness and knocked his cup down in the process With a loud clang, the cup shattered The sound went unnoticed in the Fate office as it was bustling with activity The only person alerted to the sound was Wang Jiangnan’s colleauge as sitting right beside hi in this hot weather? Are you having a seizure or so Jiangnan hi ill at all He then shook his head and brushed the incident off “It’s nothing”
“Did soue chuckled
“No way! If I was jinxed, the lot of you would’ve already died God kno nan, of course, didn’t believe such a theory After a small talk, the two developers resumed their work
It was a small episode in the office in the hest peak, and cicadas chirped ht was so brilliant that even the flowers in a person’s heart would be in full blooht
Ye Ci was a person who kept her word Since she was being ignored by Bella, and unable to corave Filled with curiosity, Ol’ Four watched Ye Ci before catching on to her intention It i at the earth with its large claws
The grave wasn’t deep After a short while, a crude and si coffin appeared Before Ye Ci could think of her nextcoffin with one of its legs…
With a loud crack, the coffin shattered
Ol’ Four was excited The sound was just like the snapping of twigs in the forest that it used to live in For Ol’ Four, it was a ht, as if it was perfor a dance
Ye Ci was baffled by Ol’ Four’s excitement However, she had no ti was happening: Ol’ Four was once again about to stoh Ye Ci had already uncovered Bella’s grave, she didn’t ht to that outcome!
“Guhh?” Ol’ Four stopped in its tracks and stared at Ye Ci There was a hint of dissatisfaction in its eyes, accusing Ye Ci of spoiling its fun
“You can’t do that; get back here!” Said Ye Ci sternly
For Ol’ Four, Ye Ci’s admonishment wasn’t much of a deterrent It stared at Ye Ci while it continued to slowly extend its leg towards the coffin, and with another loud crack, he stepped onto the coffin
“Ol’ Four!” Ye Ci screaood loot in the coffin, and they were smashed by Ol’ Four?
“Ahh! My face!” Another voice screah-pitched voice of a female
Where did that voice came from? Ol’ Four was stunned at well It stood reat curiosity
Ye Ci stared silently at the coffin She could’ve sworn that she saw one of the many pieces of the coffin move
A woman in a white dress cliaze of Ye Ci and Ol’ Four Judging by her semi transparent body, it was apparent that she wasn’t hu as she clieous face! How could you step on it! I don’t want to live anymore! I don’t want to live anye of events Just what the hell is going on?
She was alone in the deserted northern fringes in the Mausoleu in front of a s wo on here?
Am I in a horror movie? A detective movie? Or a movie about literature and art? Or is this a cos out after a long moment Ye Ci cleared her throat, and asked in the most serious voice she could muster, “Are you Bella?”
Perhaps due to the sheer size of Ol’ Four, the ghost hadn’t even noticed the presence of another being before Ye Ci spoke up She turned around and stared at Ye Ci after hearing the voice, and spoke up after a moment of pause, “Where did you come from?”
Ye Ci was almost driven mad by the question What do you e ahost before she finally got the answer she wanted She was indeed Bella, and was Andrei’s trusted aid She has been watching over his hidden treasure and had long passed away As a sign of loyalty, her companions had buried her in this place and set up a camp not far away
A sudden realization hit Ye Ci The ca provisions and consumables to players was actually affiliated to the Doran Thieves Guild… Just what the heck is going on?
When Ye Ci handed the badge to Bella, she stared at the badge for a long ti up in an embarrassed tone, “What is this?”
What is this?
Ye Ci had the urge to let out a shout of frustration What the fck? Who designed this quest? Who the fck was the one who ive me a knife so that I can kill myself with it?
Ye Ci inhaled deeply and spoke up after stabilizing her emotions, “Andrei wanted me to hand this to you”
“This is froe with distress written all over her face, and finally spoke up after a long pause, “Can you let er was so great that she was al to me? I just wanted to receive my reward! Why do I have to do such a perverted quest? And this bitch right here wants s over? It’s not like you’re trying to decide the fate of a nation or so!
Before she could shout out her frustrations, Ye Ci received a private e from Bai Mo “Say, are you done with your Epic-tier quest?”
“If it could be completed so easily, it won’t be an Epic-tier quest!” Ye Ci’s voice was full of fury She was like a barrel full of gunpowder, ready to explode with just the slightest of sparks
“What is it? You don’t sound too happy,” A si by Ye Ci He covered his ears Ye Ci must’ve been driven crazy by her quest, or she wouldn’t be behaving like this
“Give her soeon Nobody else has the ested Bai Mo when Ye Ci was finally done with her gru “With an NPC as half-baked as that, I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be able to come up with an answer even if you visited her to about You kno bad their uess there’s no other way,” Despite her overwhelainst it and accepted Bai Mo’s suggestion to go dungeon clearing
The dungeon clearing process was surprisingly suild was able to complete their task before 10pm, and the members were happy to receive decent loot Once done, Ye Ci immediately returned to the Mausoleum of Blades; she wanted to check on Bella However,in a corner while staring at the badge with distress written all over her face Ye Ci knew that she wouldn’t get an answer out of Bella right there and then, but she tried her luck despite the knowledge “Bella, have you res How can you expect me to be so quick? For the record, I’ve been dead for so s are like a distant past to n for Bella to hold in her words with a griht, Bella, take your tio on ahead I’ll continue lance at the nut job of an NPC, Ye Ci turned around and left
She returned to Red Lake City and went offline Bai Mo and Tan Polang were done bathing while Ye Nantian and Zuo Xiaolan were still logged into the game This meant that Ye Ci was free to use the bathroom When she was done with her shower, Ye Nantian and Zuo Xiaolan were already having a lively discussion in the living room
