After the money in the credit card had been used to buy the two robots, he was only left with a fraction of it. He still needed to support himself. Thus, after finishing the breakfast his lover had prepared, Gu Yan gave a notice to the other before lying in the game capsule.

Either way, he could still see him in the game.

But the moment Gu Yan went online, other than being bombarded by a bunch of private messages, he was still being hugged by the Abyss Demon King who was sitting on the Demon Throne. He heard the low and hoarse voice by his ear saying, "Qiuqiu can support Ah Yan."

This should be something that he needed to do. To be a considerate partner, Asa was strictly carrying this out.

"How many credit points does Ah Yan want?" Bringing the youth's hands and placing it on his own horn, the highest existence of this 'World' asked this question seriously.

All the federal union banks were also operated by him. The youth in his eyes can have as many credit points as he wanted..

He only needs to tamper with the numbers. To the light brain, this kind of thing was simple.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment. He never thought that his family's lover still cared about this problem. He broke into laughter and fiddled with the horn, "Just selling some rare materials in the game is enough for a few days…"

He stopped and thought over it for a while before he added, "Those materials are things that originally belong to you, so Qiuqiu is already supporting our family."

This answer made the Abyss Demon King narrow his dark purple eyes. His pale and handsome face stuck close to the youth and rubbed, "En".

He had received more than 60 messages in his inbox, most likely coming from the people of the Seventh Heaven Guild. Gu Yan read through this pile of messages from the beginning.

The private messages were received last night, and the ones who messaged him were basically the same people.

[PM] [Silver Raven]: Great God, we haven't distributed the equipment yet. Send me a '1' whenever you get online, I'll send you a list of things the previous BOSS dropped."

[PM] [Peaceful Revival]: We previously said that for every BOSS, you have the priority to choose one item from the loot. Silver Raven will send you the list of dropped items, just tell me when you've decided. I'll mail it to you.

After skimming through most of the messages, Gu Yan even saw an invite from the guild master of Shelter of Dawn/Daybreak Assist, but he set it aside for now.

He replied '1' to Silver Raven, and very quickly, he received a chain of drops records.

Every player can only see their own virtual screen, but this rule was obviously not tenable for the light brain.

Resting his jaw on the youth's shoulders, the Abyss Demon Kings that ruled over the Netherworlds used a low and hoarse voice and asked by the youth's ears, "Which equipment does Ah Yan want?"

Who cared about fair competition or whatever, he was this 'World's' rules.

When Gu Yan, who was browsing the record of loots dropped, heard this question, he understood his family's lover's meaning. He touched the horns on the demon-king's head again and explained, "It's more meaningful to get such items through my own hard work."

"Moreover, compared to equipment, I'm more interested in this world that Qiuqiu created. There are many places that I want to see." This was also the truth. Gu Yan was interested in this 'world's' various cultures, for example the spirits and dragons…

This was probably something that most writers would be curious about.

He chose two forging materials from the drop list and something called [Void Spirit Magic Gown], a magician's equipment. Gu Yan messaged Peaceful Revival accordingly.

[PM] [Peaceful Revival]: Okay, the mail's been sent, happy cooperation. There will be more chances to work together in the future.

Seeing the last sentence, Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, feeling like there was some other meaning behind it.

But as long as the remuneration was decent, he did not mind temporarily joining the other's party as external help.

[PM] [Sen Luo]: Happy cooperation.

He needed to return back to town to receive mail. Gu Yan had bound his Stone of Return1 to the human's main city, 'Justenya'. It would be simple if he wanted to return, he just needed to rub the Stone of Return and everything would be solved, but as for his family's Qiuqiu…

There was no problem bringing the other away, dungeons were all in countless individual pockets of spaces anyway. Parties that opened up a dungeon map would not come across a situation where the final BOSS was missing.

The problem was that he could not leave with him in this form, otherwise when the other players in the human city who saw this **OSS appear in front of them, they would probably cause a huge commotion.

"Meow"

Just as he thought about this problem, Gu Yan heard a low sound. A silver tiger-striped round and tiny ball of velvety furred animal was lying on his shoulder, using its body to rub against his neck.

"Qiuqiu…" Gu Yan carried the furry animal into his hands and suddenly saw a chain of words on its forehead.

[Sen Luo's pet], while the row with the name wrote 'Asa'.

Oh, this definitely solved the problem. He carried the little kitten on his head down for a kiss, before Gu Yan used the Stone of Return.

The human city, Justenya.

This was an ancient and imposing city of humans which didn't fall behind times

In this city was the East Continent's most famous School of Magic. Every Magician classed player had to finish a chain of class quests that were as long and as stinky as a foot binder.

So to Magician classed players, this part of the game was the one that gave them one of the deepest impressions.

To find a mailbox in the city was easy. The mailboxes' set locations were at the Inn, Bank, or the entrance of the Auction Hall. With a round little kitten lying on its stomach on his shoulder, Gu Yan walked towards the Inn.

"So cute——"

On the way there, Gu Yan often heard words similar to these. The kitten on his shoulder opened its eyes and rubbed against his neck, the purrs coming from him had never stopped.

"Qiuqiu, be good." Knowing that the other was attracting his attention, Gu Yan received his mail with one hand and stroked the kitten's back with the other.

"Meow" Calling out, this small round ball of fur climbed up the magician's head, and went back to lying on its stomach there. Quietening down, it waved his tail lightly.

Ever since yesterday's movie when the youth had carried him and placed him onto his head, this kitten suddenly felt like he particularly liked this position.

The weight on his left shoulder had transferred over to his head. Gu Yan had no opinion on this, he just raised his hand higher to touch the two little horns on the kitten.

"Small Crystal Stone, Desolate Jade…" After putting these two rare forging materials into his inventory, Gu Yan prepared to wait till the afternoon, after he went offline, to sell it on the game's forum. Like this, these two items can sell for at least 30,000 credit points.

As for the Void Spirit Magic Robe, Gu Yan immediately equipped it after receiving it. While its INT/intelligence attribute points could not be compared to the one he was wearing, Gu Yan had his eye on another very rarely seen attribute that this piece of equipment had: [Movement speed +10%].

Magicians typically didn't have movement skills and the flying broom's additional movement speed was also unable to completely compensate for this weakness. The situations in dungeons required fast movements which could easily disrupt a magician's casting. Thus, it made players of this profession less effective.

If it wasn't for magicians having the one and only crowd controlling skill, this class might have only been a reserve player. The type where players would only use once in a thousand years ever since it was released.

The bells ringing from the cathedral resounded throughout the town. Right now, everyone in every corner of town could clearly hear this heavy and solemn sound, while the Griffin Knights patrolling the skies above town would stop and gather, waiting for the bell to finish ringing before continuing their patrol.

At this moment, Gu Yan entered a tavern called "Golden Casks". He had replied last night's message from the guild master of Wings of Dawn after he had finished receiving his mail. Very soon, they confirmed a place to meet.

"A glass of Honey Liquor," Gu Yan randomly ordered something when he was asked for his order.

Entering a tavern but not ordering any alcohol was inexcusable. If the owner was a dwarf with a short temper, he would be chased out within minutes.

As to why this holographic game was named 'The World', one of the main reasons was its degree of realism. Even if they were NPC's, they would still have their own lives, operating just like reality.

Gu Yan chose an empty and spacious corner to sit, and not long after he had ordered, a cup of amber colored drink was placed on the wooden table.

Just then, the young ball originally quietly lying on his head jumped onto the table. Gu Yan hadn't even reacted in time before he saw the kitten approach the vicinity of the cup, made a sniffing motion, before sticking out its tongue to lap at the drink.

"Qiuqiu—"

At once, he carried the kitten back into his embrace. Even though he knew that this was not reality, and the one he was carrying in his hands was also not a normal cat, Gu Yan still did it out of reflex.

Lowering his head, the round ball of fluff purred and rubbed against the youth's body, before lightly reclining into his embrace. Yes, it reclined, instead of laying on its stomach.

Gu Yan: …

He felt like… His family's Qiuqiu was drunk. Drinking alcohol in the game would have the same effects as in reality, and honey liquor was hard liquor.

Watching the above scenario happen, a human carrying a heavy broadsword on his back smiled as he sat opposite of the magician.

"Sorry, my Stone of Return was not bound to Justenya. Rushing from the Flaming Canyons took some time." After expressing his apologies, Ke Zhou very quickly directed the conversation to the main topic. "This morning, Silver Cross Crusader's elite party successfully attacked the Netherworld's last BOSS into phase two. They are the first party to be able to persist under the Death God's attacks and last seven minutes before wipeout."

Gu Yan nodded. This was something he knew. After all, in the plot that he had written in the past, the party to get First Kill for the Death God was also Silver Cross Crusader.

"What went wrong for them was that just when they entered phase two, the BOSS went berserk. This BOSS' berserk mechanism is probably a special case, only giving us seven minutes to fight." Speaking till this point, Ke Zhou spread out his arms and loosened his shoulders. This BOSS's extremely strict requirements for tanks could be forgotten, but now, its requirements for DPS was also reaching the limits.

Firstly, cutting down numbers was definitely a no go. The moment numbers were cut to fight this BOSS then everything would collapse, this meant that the required awareness of the damage dealer must be extremely high. The stress on the healers was also huge.

This seven minutes berserk mechanism was also another thing to go crazy about. The party's DPS output per second needed to be above 35k to be able to topple the boss within the time limit, otherwise, it would go berserk and wipe out the party.

What kind of concept 35k damage per second? Every guild would only have four to five damage dealers that could put out that kind of damage, and after taking away those whose awareness did not meet the target in real combat, the numbers would drop to three.

For every guild's elite party, wanting to pull in those remaining tens of players was something that would waste god knows how much time. Thus, while the news of the seven-minute berserk mechanism was being released, the top-ranking guilds straightforwardly raised talk of an alliance.

After explaining the above situation, the human warrior coughed. "I lost in dice so I'm responsible for pulling in the number one most reliable magician. Death God… this BOSS needs a magician's crowd dispersing skill, but to find one that can hit 35k damage per second is simply too difficult…"

It was basically impossible to find one.

"After taking up the number one ranking in the Arena for so long, the most reliable magician that I can think of is only you. I don't know if you're interested in joining our party made up of three guilds. Of course, after defeating the BOSS, you'll have priority selection in the loot." The moment he finished speaking, Ke Zhou sent a party invitation to the magician in front of him.

The little kitten reclining in his embrace was purring non-stop. Gu Yan accepted the party invitation, then helplessly rubbed the soft stomach of this kitten.

There was a class quest belonging to a magician that had to be opened up in the Netherworld, so Gu Yan would obviously not reject this invitation. It was just that he had a question he wanted to ask this ball of fluff reclined in his embrace, but this would probably have to wait until the other was clear-minded before he could ask…
