Sword Among Us chapter 1159 - the plot for dragon gate inn activated | English Novels Online

After the meal, the temperature in the desert dropped drastically by dozens of degrees.

The martial artists who entered Dragon Gate Inn also reduced in numbers.

The wind howled outside. It was cold. More than ten braziers were lit up in the hall, and it was only then that the people inside did not tremble from the cold. Even so, the cold wind that blew in through the gaps of the door still made the people inside tremble involuntarily. They were reluctant to be far apart from the brazier.

Dragon Gate Inn was not huge. It only had dozens of simplistic rooms, and once the Murong Clan and the people from the evil cult occupied all of them, the players had to camp out in the hall.

The people who arrived later were not even offered to stay in the inn, because it was too late, and the rooms had run out since a long time ago. They could only opt for second best and sleep one night on the floor.

Of course, Happy was the exception among the players.

One, he had already reserved a room before he even activated the quest. Two, no one would dare to challenge him and chase him out from his room.

But Dragon Gate Inn was destined to not enjoy a quiet night tonight.

The brazier in the room might be able to warm up the room, which was not very big, and chase away the cold, Happy had begun to frequently hear people walking on the roof at night ever since he stayed in the inn.

“When night arrives, no one is able to stay calm. Master, should I yank these people down?” Thousand-faced Human Fox stayed in one room with Happy, and he asked with a cold tone.

Happy shook his head indifferently, “Dragon Gate Inn has never allowed its guests to sleep peacefully. Just let them create trouble.”

“Understood.”

Thousand-faced Human Fox said nothing else. He walked to a corner of the room and sat down.

Even though he was in the inn, Happy’s spirit senses allowed him to clearly capture all movements around the inn. Naturally, he knew about the goals of the people sneaking around, flying on the roof and scaling the walls.

These people did not come for him or the desert palace.

Happy did not forget that Dragon Gate Inn itself had an ongoing plot-related quest. But the Embroidered Uniform Guards were so terrified by the elites in the dao of heaven and the powerful martial artists from all around the world that they did not dare say a single word.

Since it had nothing to do with the desert palace, Happy would not care about those things that had nothing to do with him and would just let them cause as big of a commotion as they liked.

If he readily interfered, he might reveal his identity and end up making himself not as imposing as before. He would also make others suspect him for no reason.

Happy slowly closed his eyes. No one in Dragon Gate Inn would dare to knock on his door, anyway, so he went to the other world.

Today, the various encounters in Dragon Gate Inn made him realize very suddenly that the world was big, and there were plenty of hidden elites lurking around.

Evil Emperor might have been blocked off the Chinese plains, but he would definitely cast his eyes on other fortuitous chances. If Happy wanted to prevent Wild Wolves from taking over the Chinese plains, the best method was to have both sides of the world attack at the same time. He had to form an army which could also leave the Chinese plains to fight!

In truth, Happy had been worried that it would be too early for him to form this army, and it would drastically slow down the army’s improvement once they left the Chinese plains, but now, he could cast aside this worry. After Thousand-faced Human Fox obtained the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains, he had been telling Happy many things about West Region. These places had not been discovered in the world three years ago, so instead of waiting for other people to get them, why shouldn’t he use them beforehand?

World of Martial Arts had already been operating for around two years in the world three years ago.

Happy logged out of the game, and he habitually got up to change. He used water to pat his face in the bathroom, and as he looked at his pale face, he held the sink and stood there for a few minutes.

Ever since this Chen Kaixin fell asleep, nearly half a year had gone by.

He had not woken up just yet.

There was a long period of time where Happy was worried that Chen Kaixin would regain control of his own body and take away Happy’s ability to move through space and time at will.

But as time passed, Happy had a feeling he did not know how to describe appear in his heart. He felt like he knew that Chen Kaixin might not wake up again.

But the clearer the feeling was, the more this unknown emotion affected him, making him agitated and uneasy.

The strange irritation caused Happy to overlook the sound of the guest room door opening.

“What’s wrong?”

Xu Xin’s hesitant voice rose from behind him. In that voice was a hint of worry and a quiver that surprised Happy.

He turned around in puzzlement.

Xu Xin’s face instantly turned pale, and she stood at the entrance of the bathroom.

Happy quickly understood what was going on.

“It’s me.”

He knew that Xu Xin must have noticed his abnormal reaction in the bedroom, so…

The familiar voice and tone caused Xu Xin’s heart to quickly calm down. A flush appeared on her pretty face, and she rolled her eyes at him in irritation.

“Did you call me out of the game for something?”

When Happy saw how quickly Xu Xin schooled her face to pretend to be calm, he was a little moved. Even though their interaction with each other had been drastically reduced, he could tell that Xu Xin was still very concerned about him.

“Yeah.” He composed himself and said, “I have some information here regarding West Region. Let’s talk outside.”

He went to the living room. As they talked in-depth about this, Xu Xin’s expression became more solemn, because she knew that the resources Happy spoke of were far ahead of its intended time of appearance in the game. In fact, it might cause a series of upheaval and unexpected changes to the game.

“These resources are very important to us. I hope that you can choose a group of people to enter West Region to gain those resources so that we can form a group that can fight against Wild Wolves. The process will be very complicated and hard, but you know that you’re the only person I can trust.”

“Didn’t you tell me that the progress of the players over here is much faster than the progress of the players over there? If we do this, won’t it be bad?” Xu Xin did not agree to it immediately. Instead, she frowned and started thinking about other problems. She spoke gravely, “Besides, you know that if we excavate too many things now, while it might be able to increase Mu Clan’s strength by leaps and bounds, it could also cause a butterfly effect in World of Martial Artists and increase the speed of the progression of events in the game. By then, it will not be easy to control the situation.”

While Happy watched Xu Xin frown and think with a serious expression, he suddenly felt like he saw light.

He felt incredibly relieved.

At that moment, Happy suddenly realized that this Xu Xin before him was no longer the Young Yu Yan who only knew how to solo the game a few months ago.

The current Xu Xin had already taken the initiative to take up the responsibility to manage Mu Clan. What he wanted Xu Xin to do, she was doing, and by the looks of it, she was doing really well. Now, Happy placed most of his energy in the world three years later, and as of current, Xu Xin was more qualified to manage the things over here.

“You’re right. Then, how do you think we should use these resources?” Happy wanted to test her. He wrapped his arms over his chest and stared at Xu Xin with a smile.

“The resources you provided earlier is already enough for Mu Clan to be ahead of the others in the game. We can keep these resources for now, and when the time is ripe, we can choose those which are suitable and offer part of them to the members.” She paused for a moment, and Xu Xin continued, “We can form the Imperial Army right now, actually. Mu Clan has a lot more advantages compared to the Lovely Land three years later. The number of elites we have are not that much lower than the number of elites in Wild Wolves.”

“Alright, we’ll do as you say!”

Happy felt completely at ease.

They spoke for a little while longer, until Xu Yao pushed open the door and came in with breakfast in her hands.

Right after Xu Yao came in, she saw Happy and Xu Xin sitting on the couch and talking excitedly to each other. She raised her hand and gestured at the bags.

“Perfect timing. Here’s your breakfast.”

“After Class One Hall is destroyed, Big Brother Thunderous Battle let me manage the headquarters while he went off to train. I asked Big Sis Yao to help me take care of the matters at the headquarters. If I were alone, I really can’t handle the situation.

“Okay.”

Happy also had an indescribable feeling to the Xu Yao in this world. When he heard this, he nodded and cast a glance at Xu Yao, who started stuffing herself with food after she put their breakfast down. He laughed wryly in his heart.

After taking a few bites, he suddenly felt his heart race, and he stopped moving.

Xu Yao had been paying attention to Happy. When she saw the strange look on Happy’s face, she quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking?”

“It’s nothing. I’m done eating. I’ll just lay down for a while.” Happy stood up swiftly and strode quickly into the bathroom.

Xu Yao and Xu Xin looked at each other. They knew that Happy must have noticed something had happened in the other world, which was why he left in such a hurry. They were not surprised by this.

When Happy returned to this world, he opened his eyes, and found himself still at Dragon Gate Inn. To his surprise, everything was the same in the room. But Thousand-faced Human Fox also had his eyes opened, and he was listening to something.

Happy said nothing. He quickly spread his spirit sense outward, and everything within and outside the inn was revealed before his mind’s eye.

Soon, Happy understood what happened.

Two groups of people in Dragon Gate Inn had started fighting against each other.

A Third Grade Leader from the Embroidered Uniform Guards had started fighting against Qiu Mo Yan outside the inn, and the fight was very intense.

The other Embroidered Uniform Guards did not remain idle either. They started fighting against Cao Huaian in another room in the inn, and they were also engaged in an intense fight, because their strengths were about the same.

“Master?”

Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly noticed that Happy had been shocked awake because of the movements in the inn. He hesitated for a moment before he spoke, “When we came here, I already noticed that the Embroidered Uniform Guards have quite a few decent items, should I get them while it’s…?” Even though he did not finish his sentence, the meaning behind his words was incredibly clear.

“There’s no need for that.” Happy, of course, understood Thousand-faced Human Fox’s meaning.

In truth, he was also a little tempted by the plot-related quests in Dragon Gate Inn.

The plot-related quests from Dragon Gate Inn were not simple quests. Many elites with unique and outstanding abilities were involved in it. In fact, many demon vessels were offered from the start to the end of the quests, such as Phoenix-tail Arrow and Barbed Canine Fang Arrow. They were all demon vessels designed by the organizations from the imperial court, and they were very powerful.

Cao Huaian’s sword technique and his seemingly useless short flute should be pretty good items.

There was also Jin Xiangyu’s employee, Young Wu. He had an extraordinary Bone Picking Saber Technique.

If it were not for the fact that the desert palace was about to be activated and Happy did not want to attract too many people’s attention, he would definitely not give up on the quests from Dragon Gate Inn.

However, even though Happy intended to give up on the quests here, it did not mean that Lovely Land intended to give up on the demon vessels in the quest.

Right now, Lovely Land did not have a sufficient amount of resources, and they needed these things to fill up their sect storage. He had called Silver Wolf and his party over here because he wanted them to complete the quests here in his place and obtain the benefits here!

“Looks like I won’t need to send a messenger pigeon to remind them of this…” Happy quickly noticed that Silver Wolf and his party had already split up to take action at different parts of Dragon Gate Inn.
