Weakling, you want to chase my sister too?

One-hit kill!

With its health bar depleted, a ball of light enveloped the Swordsman's body, and he was teleported away.

After the Swordsman vanished, an item was left where he had been standing.

[Ice Armor]

Required Level: 5

Grade: Green

Defense: 30-35

Ice Affinity: +0.1%

Description: Armor crafted from Ice Crystal Ore, possessing decent defensive capabilities.

"Not bad, a 0.1% elemental affinity bonus."

Picking up the loot, Xiao Wen's figure also disappeared in a surge of light.

Soon, he had gathered the four basic equipment pieces: top, pants, boots, and gloves.

Although all these items were green-grade and superior to plain equipment in stats, they were still far from having special attributes.

The combined value of the four green-grade items, even with the Ice Magic Staff, couldn't compare to the [Ring of Mountain's Might] Xiao Wen held.

Novice Village No. 76817. Xiao Ya logged into the game early and went to the teleportation array's entrance, waiting for Xiao Wen.

However, half an hour passed, and Xiao Wen still hadn't appeared.

"Xiao Ya, is your brother really coming? We've been waiting here for half an hour. Shouldn't we just focus on leveling up?"

Standing next to Xiao Ya was an Archer with a longbow on her back. She was also a female character.

She was Xiao Ya's good friend, Liu Fang.

Liu Fang knew Xiao Ya had a brother, but she had some reservations about him.

A grown man, capable and healthy, who had already graduated high school and gotten into college, yet he stayed home, leeching off his older sister instead of working part-time.

Such a man was utterly despicable!

"Fangfang, just a little longer. I believe in my brother; he'll be here soon," Xiao Ya replied with certainty.

"Xi Rou? Xiao Ya, why didn't you say anything when you logged in? As your Highness the Queen's most loyal knight, if you have any requests, I will charge forward without hesitation or regret!"

A Swordsman holding a longsword appeared before Xiao Ya, his eyes filled with fervor.

He was Xiao Ya's colleague, Zhang Fu, and also one of her most fervent admirers.

"Zhang Fu? What are you doing here? My friend and I are fine on our own; we don't need you. You can leave."

Upon seeing Zhang Fu, a flicker of disgust crossed Xiao Ya's eyes.

Being naturally beautiful was an advantage, but it also brought her a lot of trouble.

At least for Xiao Ya, she detested persistent pursuers.

Unfortunately, Zhang Fu was a prime example of one.

"Hey, beautiful, sorry I'm late."

Just as Zhang Fu was feeling dejected after being rejected by his goddess, a greeting was heard. It was a Summoner, who had emerged from the teleportation array empty-handed.

Who else could it be but Xiao Wen?

"I got delayed by something on the way, so I'm a bit late."

Xiao Wen scratched his head and his gaze fell upon Zhang Fu standing nearby.

Without his sister needing to say anything, he knew Zhang Fu was one of her many persistent pests.

Seeing Xiao Wen, Xiao Ya's face lit up with a smile.

"You brat, you're finally here. What did you promise me? Hurry up and give it to me."

Xiao Ya said playfully, then pointed to Liu Fang beside her, "This is my good sister, Liu Fang."

"Hello, Sister Fang," Xiao Wen said obediently.

"Good. Heh heh... good."

Liu Fang was momentarily captivated by Xiao Wen's handsome face.

Although game characters were virtually generated, a significant portion of their in-game appearance depended on the player's actual appearance, or rather, it was generated based on their real faces.

For instance, Yang Cheng was a fat person in reality, and his in-game character was also a fat person.

Seeing Xiao Wen's handsome face, Liu Fang's reservations began to dissipate.

"Good for what! Xiao Ya, who is this pretty boy?"

Zhang Fu, his face darkening, rushed forward to block Xiao Ya and demanded.

"Who is he, and what business is it of yours? We're not that familiar with each other," Xiao Ya narrowed her eyes and snorted.

Liu Fang, standing nearby, quickly intervened to smooth things over, explaining that Xiao Wen was Xiao Ya's younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fu's face immediately lit up with a smile. He scurried over to Xiao Wen with a fawning expression. "So you're my brother-in-law! I'm Zhang Fu, and I hope you'll guide me in the future. If you ever hit a snag in the game, just tell me, and I'll help you sort it out."

"Don't you dare not believe me. See this longsword? This is a green-grade weapon! With it, I've never lost..."

Zhang Fu ran his finger along the blade of the sword, saying with pride.

"But didn't you just lose? And you even lost a piece of green-grade armor."

Xiao Wen rolled his eyes, recognizing the man.

He was his very first opponent in the dueling arena!

The Swordsman he had instantly killed with two punches.

Now that they met again, he recognized him immediately.

After all, not everyone in the dueling arena had a dueling mask like Xiao Wen.

Zhang Fu's smile froze. For a moment, as if recalling something, his face contorted in horror.

"It... it's you!"

His pupils contracted sharply, and simulated sweat dripped down his forehead continuously. "You... you're not a Fist Master! You're a Summoner!"

"Weakling," Xiao Wen sneered. "You want to chase my sister? Talk to me again after you can beat me!"

"Sister, I brought your gear. But you didn't mention Sister Fang was here, so I didn't prepare anything for an Archer. I should have some white-grade items in my inventory, so Sister Fang, you'll have to make do."

As he spoke, Xiao Wen took out the five green-grade equipment pieces he was supposed to give to Xiao Ya from his backpack.

"[Ice Magic Staff]·Green-grade, [Ice Armor]·Green-grade, [Elemental Trousers]·Green-grade, [Exquisite Bracelet]·Green-grade, [Wind Strider Boots]·Green-grade."

Liu Fang covered her mouth, her face showing indescribable shock.

Five pieces!

A full set of basic green-grade equipment, and he had already gathered them all?

If this set of equipment were put on the market, it would sell for at least several hundred thousand, right?

"Gulp..."

Xiao Ya swallowed hard, her eyes also filled with shock.

"B-brother, am I dreaming? Are... are these things really for me?"

Xiao Ya blinked, feeling as if she were living in a fantasy.

Before, what was Zhang Fu relying on when he kept boasting about protecting women and becoming her most loyal and powerful knight?

Wasn't it the green-grade longsword in his hand?

But now, she also had green-grade equipment.

And a whole set at that.

"Sister, look at you, is it that serious? It's just a set of ordinary green-grade gear, not a set bonus. Is it really that moving? Although this equipment is a bit lacking, it's perfect for you right now. We'll get a better set when you reach level ten," Xiao Wen said nonchalantly.

These words, spoken so casually, made Xiao Ya and Liu Fang's eyebrows shoot up, wishing they could grab Xiao Wen and rough him up.

Is it that serious?

Do you think it's that serious?

We beauties worked hard all night and didn't even get one piece of green-grade equipment, and you brat come here with a whole set?

Enough said, I'm so envious!

Liu Fang looked at the green-grade equipment in front of Xiao Ya, her eyes full of envy.

"Sister Fang, this is for you. I didn't know you'd be here beforehand, so I only have some white-grade equipment. You'll have to make do with these for now, and I'll get you better ones when I find good items."

"I... I get a share?"

Liu Fang was stunned. Looking at the equipment Xiao Wen took out, she didn't know if she should accept it.

Although this set of equipment was white-grade, its combined value was nearly ten thousand.

And her salary was only eight or nine thousand a month.

"Alright, don't be so coy. Just accept it. Isn't my brother your brother too?"

Xiao Ya smiled and patted Liu Fang's shoulder, urging her to accept it.

Liu Fang accepted the equipment and was about to express her gratitude when a notification sound echoed in the air.
