CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 90, SHALL WE GO TO THE HOTEL_1

"Of course, I didn’t participate in the first few times."

Angelina glanced at him. "Do you know how many Dragon Knights there are in the Nordic European Union? A full thousand! Do you know how many Angels there are in the Mei Zone’s Union? Do you have any idea how many Shikigami the Sakura Alliance has? You’re boasting before it’s even started!"

"Trust me, I definitely can."

"I’d believe in ghosts before I believe you! But you do still have hope; you’re the strongest person I’ve ever seen."

Jiang Chen was drinking. It’s just the Alliance War Games; I’m going to win first place for sure.

Jiang Chen made a call to Jiang Qiu.

"Little brother, where are you?"

"Eternal Spring City."

"Everything okay?"

"All good. Are you interested in military merits?"

"Military merits? What are you planning?"

"To participate in the Alliance War Games."

"What’s your level? You want to join the Alliance War Games? It’s full of hidden experts! There are Dragon Knights from the Nordic European Union, the Angel Army from the Mei Zone’s Union, and those with the Shikigami Class from the Sakura Alliance. I think you’ll get killed the moment you enter!"

"Who do you think you’re looking down on? I’m just asking if you’re interested in military merits. I plan to join the Dark Legion and help you guys earn some."

"Okay, that’s definitely a good thing. You can exchange them for Resurrection scrolls."

"Great. Get Hanna to join, and there’s one more person I want to add."

"Who?"

"A friend of mine, Angelina."

"A woman? When did you find a girlfriend? Thinking of starting a family already?"

"Just a friend."

"Get lost! You’re quite the flirt to find someone so quickly. But if you ever wrong her, just see how I’ll deal with you."

Jiang Chen was speechless. Are you really my sister or not? Whose side are you on, anyway? I’m beginning to doubt you’re my real sister... well, it seems you’re not actually.

"Where are you right now?"

"Just got back."

"Okay, I’ll be right there. Wait for me."

Jiang Chen hung up and returned to Shenlong Academy with Angelina. The Array Masters had stabilized the rift, bringing that matter to a close. It was time to head back.

「In the hotel.」

Jiang Chen met Jiang Qiu and Hanna.

Hanna said bluntly, "Jiang Chen, your sister told me. To earn military merits, you must get first place. It’ll be tough to achieve that if you’re the one representing the Legion in the Alliance War Games."

"No problem, let’s just give it a try!"

"Alright, I’ll add you and your friend to the Legion now."

「Soon.」

Jiang Chen’s badge changed.

[Dark Legion]

[Zero-Order Badge Attributes: None]

[Name: Jiang Chen]

[Class: Swordsman]

[Level: 29]

Hanna exclaimed, "How do you level up so fast? It’s only been half a month, and you’ve already advanced to Level 29! I remember you were only Level 21 when I left."

Jiang Qiu was also surprised. Level 29. It’s only been half a month. What kind of leveling speed is this? At this rate, he could reach the First-stage in half a year!

Jiang Chen hadn’t mentioned that he’d spent the first five of those days at Shenlong Academy. He had only spent six or seven days fighting monsters in the past half-month, which essentially meant leveling up one level per day.

Jiang Chen also saw their levels:

[Jiang Qiu: Level 78]

[Hanna: Level 80]

[Caroline: Level 79]

[Xueli: Level 79]

[Muriel: Level 77]

These levels were much higher than Jiang Chen’s.

Jiang Chen wondered, "Why doesn’t it have any Attributes?"

Hanna laughed. "We haven’t accepted any missions. If you want military merits, you can only get them by hunting down the evil warriors under the command of the Difiled god. Getting military merits isn’t as easy as you think."

Well, forget about a few minor Attribute Values!

Jiang Qiu looked at Angelina and smiled. "You’re so beautiful; my brother has good taste. If Jiang Chen ever bullies you, just tell me, and I’ll beat him up for you."

Angelina smiled. "Jiang Chen is very good to me; he won’t bully me."

"That’s good to hear. From now on, you’re my sister too. I still have some money on my card; I’ll buy you two a house so you can settle down."

Settle down? Big sister, you’re worrying too much, Jiang Chen thought.

He coughed. "I’m not thinking about that right now. She’s my partner, my most important partner. You’re overthinking things."

Jiang Qiu was about to get angry when Hanna laughed. "Come on, it’s their business. Why are you meddling so much? If you want to hold a baby, why don’t you have one yourself?"

"Get lost."

"Sister, I have something to talk to you about, just the two of us."

Hanna laughed. "I’ll wait for you downstairs."

Angelina added, "I’ll wait for you downstairs too."

They both left.

Jiang Qiu’s face flushed as she looked at her brother. "What is it that you need to speak privately about?"

Jiang Chen took out a Resurrection scroll and handed it to Jiang Qiu.

Jiang Qiu stared at the Resurrection scroll, stunned. Resurrection scrolls can only be obtained through military merits. How did Jiang Chen get so many?

Jiang Qiu questioned, "How did you get these?"

"Looted them, of course."

"You actually became a robber? Have you no shame?"

"Um... you don’t need to worry about that. These are for your protection. If you die, you can come back to life. I don’t want to lose you."

Jiang Qiu looked relieved. "These things are very precious; they can only be obtained with military merits."

Jiang Qiu silently accepted the Resurrection scrolls.

Even at Level 78, Jiang Qiu hadn’t possessed a Resurrection scroll. If she were killed, it would have been permanent death. But now, with Resurrection scrolls, she could come back to life even if she died.

These precious Resurrection scrolls weren’t available to ordinary people, not even to students of Shenlong Academy.

Jiang Qiu hugged Jiang Chen. "You’ve finally grown up."

"Sister, you’ve... uh... ’grown bigger’ too, after not seeing you for two years," Jiang Chen said, choosing his words carefully with a teasing tone.

Jiang Qiu punched him in the stomach.

Glowering fiercely, she snapped, "Are you looking for death?"

Jiang Chen was mystified. Did I say something wrong?

Jiang Qiu walked to the door, paused, then turned back and glared. "If you dare speak like that again, see how I deal with you!"

Seriously... this woman must be crazy! Jiang Chen thought.

Jiang Chen helplessly left the hotel.

Angelina, head down and blushing, asked, "Should we... go to a hotel now?"

Jiang Chen gave her a sidelong glance. "Go to a hotel? Why, when we don’t need to spend the money? We’re going back to Shenlong Academy to sleep."

Angelina stomped her foot in mild frustration but then followed Jiang Chen with a giggle, heading back to Shenlong Academy. She had joined Shenlong Academy and was even assigned a single room, an extremely good perk.

It was much better than Jiang Chen’s situation; she got a single room without spending any Score.

Jiang Chen even suspected Angelina might be the dean’s actual daughter.

「Room 9527.」

Jiang Chen entered his dormitory and lay on the bed. Tomorrow, I can reach Level 30, he thought. After Level 30, I’ll put on the new equipment and head to the Eilrus Rift to hunt the Golden Dragon. Facing the mighty and invincible Golden Dragon, I’m not sure if I stand a chance. Anyway, I need to reach Level 30 first. At Level 30, I’ll have to replace my Level 20 weapon. I really like my current weapon; its Attributes are great. But compared to Level 30 Diamond-grade equipment, it’s far inferior, not just in Offensive Power, but in other Attributes too. That Paralysis Attribute Skill is an overpowered skill! I can’t miss out on that; it’s a Divine Artifact for fighting bosses.

Jiang Chen sent a message to Black Phoenix, stating his decision to join the Dark Legion.

Black Phoenix replied with a single line: "Report to the dean tomorrow for the Alliance War Games."

Jiang Chen put down his phone, wondering how Fatty was doing.

He left his room and went next door.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
