The rock was not too big and not too small, perfect to seat two people while simultaneously not separating them too far apart.
Fang JingXing specifically picked a love song and sang it for them with music to accompany him. The warm and gentle voice slowly dispersed through the air, the pleasant sound making people’s hearts tremble.
The fan’s blood boiled as they did their best to suppress the urge to scream.
During Captain Fang’s eight years of service, besides a leaked video from a certain game commentator of their championship KTV afterparty, where a person suspected to be Captain Fang was singing— in these many years, the fans have never heard him sing before.
Even during live streams, when he occasionally played lottery minigames, singing was never one of the choices, which made them both love him and hate him.
But what kind of luck was this right now, they could actually listen to him live!
The groom has already climbed up as well.
He didn’t actually mind the sudden and unexpected disaster all that much. To be able to listen to the Ace sing now, he felt even less ire and accompanied his wife to listen to the songs.
However, seeing how his wife was clutching onto his arm tightly and recalling how she was a voice-con, he actually gained a slight sense of concern, thinking to himself, it’s enough that the two Aces crashed the party, now they were trying to seduce someone else’s wife, wasn’t this a bit too excessive?
Jiang Chen was the closest in proximity. He felt like the voice was practically poured straight into his mind.
He turned his head unconsciously and listened unavoidably for a while. Then he looked uncontrollably towards Fang JingXing.
Fang JingXing pretended as if he only looked back after sensing the Wardcaster’s gaze and sang two lines of the song staring into the other’s eyes before turning back to look ahead to avoid exposing himself.
Jiang Chen continued to look at him, thinking that with his strength and that devilishly charming face, esports fans, face-cons, voice-cons…… he pretty much satisfied everyone. For him to be the League Adonis for so many years, it wasn’t without reason.
The League Adonis put forth 100% of his earnesty to secretly flaunt his feathers for the person beside him and slowly finished singing the first song.
The groom clapped and spoke up first: “Ace, you’re so talented. It’s enough though. Since it was just a misunderstanding, we won’t be delaying the two of you.”
The bride and the fans said simultaneously: “No way, there are still two songs left!”
“……” The groom glanced at his wife: “The auspicious time has not passed yet, you calculated this moment yourself.”
The bride said: “We can complete our vows and then listen to the songs.”
She looked towards the Aces, her attitude taking an 180 degrees turn: “Just wait a moment, you guys, hah, it’ll be quick.”
Fang JingXing was naturally willing to wait and told them to continue kindly. He asked the person next to him: “Did I sound good?”
For once, Jiang Chen gave him praise: “Pretty good.”
Fang JingXing thought, such a miracle, and asked: “Do you want to sing a song as well?”
Jiang Chen said: “Nope.”
As such, Fang JingXing opened the forums with a smile and searched the posts meticulously while chatting with him: “I looked around all over. Even now, no one has ever reported that jumping off a cliff can kill people. Can we count as the first to discover this then?”
Jiang Chen said: “Possibly.”
Fang JingXing pondered: “Do you think this setting will work in the PK arena?”
Jiang Chen: “We’ll know after we try it.”
Fang JingXing said: “You fall on me or I fall on you?”
Jiang Chan said: “I’ll fall on you.”
Fang JingXing, delightedly: “Alright, I’ll hold my arms out below to catch you.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Jiang Chen imagined that scene briefly. Feeling it was a bit too beautiful, he refused: “No need to hold out your arms.”

As such, Fang JingXing picked two more love songs. After he finished singing, he saw the fans wave at him, so he walked over cooperatively, asking despite knowing the answer: “Is there something you need?”
The fans suppressed their voices and said excitedly: “Are…… are you Captain Fang?”
Fang JingXing was very honest: “I am.”
He instructed: “Keep it a secret, otherwise I will be forced to leave again. Then you guys won’t be able to see me anymore.”
One fan complained: “You never left, alright?!”
Saying this, she realized something and glanced at the Wardcaster to the side. She said in a low voice: “You didn’t really come to pursue him right?”
Fang JingXing, innocently: “How could that be?”
He naturally wouldn’t let this kind of thing spread. To avoid causing trouble to the Wardcaster, he revealed to the fans in a sincere and warm manner: “I want to sign him into my gaming organization.”
He was very good at winning allies for himself: “It’s classified trade information, I’ve only told you guys. If you guys want the team to win a few more championships, definitely don’t tell anyone else.”
Sure enough, the fans nodded their heads vigorously and promised: “Don’t worry, Captain Fang. I definitely won’t say anything!”
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “Thank you.”
He bid farewell to the fans and returned contently to Jiang Chen’s side.
Jiang Chen said: “How did you fool the fans this time?”
Fang JingXing said: “This time I spoke the truth.”
He pointed at the Glimmering Lights River: “Let’s go die once more for love.”
The two people sank to the bottom of the river and faced each other, standing there until the oxygen bar reached zero. Slowly they drowned one after the other and selected to revive back in the city.
Meanwhile, Fang JingXing smoothly and logically “forgot” to switch voice again and accompanied the Wardcaster to hand in the task. Seeing the 5 parallel tasks that lit up instantly above their heads, they randomly picked one and left the Main City again.
As long as he didn’t get too close, Jiang Chen had no objections to him using his original voice.
As such, after Jiang Chen thought about it briefly, he didn’t remind the other until people from the guild kept logging in online and was calling for members to squad up for dungeons. To prevent Fang JingXing from speaking and exposing himself, Jiang Chen finally said: “You still didn’t switch your voice.”
Seeing that he’d been paying attention this entire time, Fang JingXing felt perhaps it worked and said in a happy mood: “Thank you, I forgot.”
He switched back to the system voice and replied in the guild chat: “We’re playing the Bounty Board. Have no time at the moment.”
Saying this, he looked towards the Wardcaster: “Let’s continue?”
Jiang Chen replied with an indifferent ‘En’.
The two people played for an entire morning and successfully advanced the two man task list to level four. During lunch time, they logged off respectfully to rest until it was time to return and continue playing. They obtained a bunch of rewards and points.
When the players logged into the game at night and stood in front of the Bounty Board, they instantly became wide-eyed.
They saw the two man task list lit up with a bunch of unlocked tasks, shining with a golden light, about to advance to level 5.
“Am I dreaming or something? Why do I remember it only reaching level 3 yesterday?”
“You’re not dreaming. I came here to collect vegetables this morning and took a glance. It was indeed level 3.”
“Then how is it suddenly about to reach level 5?”
“Is there an Ace forging ahead?”
“Uh…… perhaps several Aces are working together to clear them?”
The difficulty level of the tasks on the Bounty Board grew harder progressively. The game even specifically designed a bunch of powerful wild beasts for mode, which were even located in tricky locations. The purpose was to allow the players to experience the life of a bounty hunter fully. Starting from mid-level 4, these wild beasts basically dominated the tasks.
Not to mention, one level required 20 tasks. If only two people were playing and they had advanced it almost two levels in one day, that basically meant that they had played without taking a breather.
The players hastily looked through the scoreboard. Seeing the names of the two swiftly climbing Aces, they knelt down in awe.
“What is this? A bulldozer?”
“What did I say, it must have been the Ace. Sure enough.”
“From what I see, the other people’s score points are not changing much. So it really is only the two of them playing? Completing everything on the first try?”
“Not to mention, completing them smoothly, without grinding mobs.”
“Amazing. Considering their previous style, and then seeing this momentum, does it even make sense for them to not reach level 10 in one go?”
“Isn’t Level 10 a bit too arduous? The latter half of level 8 is completely 5 stars in difficulty.”
“In the server I was on previously, they only cleared to level 9 and they had to grind for half a day just to unlock it.”
“Ours as well……”
Ignoring the wind and rain outside, the two Aces teamed up and continued to forge ahead, spending 30 more minutes to reach the last row of tasks in level 4.
As usual, Jiang Chen ignored the materials. However, when he gave a cursory glance, he suddenly felt one of them looked a bit familiar and reached out a hand to point: “Didn’t we obtain this item before?”
Fang JingXing explained: “The Gold Iridescent Stone. Its drop rate is pretty low. Players usually have trouble gathering it, so the System placed it in here.”
But yesterday they were pretty lucky and obtained a drop. That’s why Jiang Chen had some impression of it.
Fang JingXing made some inquiries in the guild channel and learned that the stone was used up already. He smiled helplessly.
Avian Ruler: “Wow, you guys reached that level?”
Gou Cheng: “Just accept that task. We can clear it again. Coincidentally, we are looking for people to run dungeons.”
5cum: “That’s right, you guys fought monsters for an entire day. Aren’t you tired?”
Deep Love and Longevity: “Occasionally switching taste will help you make new discoveries. This applies to people as well~”
Jiang Chen was actually somewhat tired. He thought to himself, worst comes to worst, he’ll sit on the swing again, and said: “Alright.”
As such, the two people accepted the task “Collect the Gold Iridescent Stone”, met up with the guild members, and entered the 10-man dungeon.
Playing it once yesterday, Jiang Chen was now efficient and well practiced. Clearing the path with them all the way to Boss #5, he miraculously did not get picked first. It wasn’t his turn until the second time.
He sat on the swing and swayed a few times, then looked at the door of the cage up above. He discovered that it was just a latch. There wasn’t even a lock.
However, it was too high, basically impossible to climb up. He pondered for two seconds, got up and stepped onto the swing. Swinging forward vigorously, he wanted to use inertia to swing himself over there.
The squad members were busy fighting the boss when they suddenly heard a ‘bang’. Turning their heads in unison, they saw a certain Ace clinging to the cage and then sliding down slowly.
Gou Cheng and the others: “…….”
What’s he playing at?
Multitasking, Fang JingXing had watched the entire process and almost pulled a muscle laughing.
Jiang Chen stood up. He didn’t give up. Looking around, he turned to a person and yelled: “Savant Initiate.”
Savant Initiate shot him a glance.
Jiang Chen beckoned.
Savant Initiate fell silent briefly and then went over there: “This better be serious.”
Jiang Chen said: “Can you summon your puppet directly inside the cage?”
Savant Initiate said: “Don’t know.”
He didn’t waste any more time talking and summoned one to try. He discovered that he could place it inside.
Jiang Chen instructed him to place it next to the cage and then stepped onto the swing once again. Swinging twice, this time he threw himself on top of the puppet’s shoulders and then climbed upwards stepping on the other’s shoulders. He successfully reached the cage door, opened the latch, and jumped out.
Savant Initiate: “……”
Fang JingXing: “……”
Gou Cheng and the others: “……”
Amazing. Since the release of this dungeon, this was the first time someone successfully escaped the prison.
Before the group expressed their opinions, the boss went insane.
With an “ah”, she started screaming loudly, voice sharp and shrill: “Why are you running! Is staying with me so unbearable?! Why are you running!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she enraged.
Then she picked up a huge Dao the same length as her height from the bed behind her and swung it right at them.
The squad members: “……”
Oh fuck!
When the boss goes crazy, it’s impossible to resist.
She was basically one swing, a little friend, goodbye. After chopping them all to death, she covered her face and wept: “I know, none of you guys like me. No one likes me.”
Saying this, she ran off in tears.
The 10-man squad: “…….”
Fighting half-way, the boss ran off by herself. If they told others, who’d believe this?
The scene was utterly silent. With a wooden face, the culprit said nothing.
Fang JingXing was the first one to discover that he could revive on the spot. As such, he stood up. Seeing this, the other people followed suit one by one.
The next second, a golden announcement spread throughout the server: Congratulations to the players Total Annihilation, Abyss, Savant Initiate, Love Escapist, Gou Cheng, 5cum, Avian Ruler, Deep Love and Longevity, This Majesty is Most Beautiful, and Sprouting Old Wutong for discovering the hidden dungeon [The Imprisoned Bird]!
The 10-man squad: “……”
New hidden dungeon wooo!
Thank you for the chapter!🫶🫶
Boss having a poor me moment
Loool i think ppl from their server became already so numb to this kind of situation 😂😅
Another new hidden dungeon/storyline already 💀
Jiang Chen: Huh, there’s a latch at the top of the birdcage. Maybe I can get out?
He indeed gets out of the birdcage, but at the cost of his entire party- 😂
Well, they discovered a hidden dungeon to make up for it…?
Can’t sit still, even just swinging….lol
“Why are you running? Why are you running?” lmaooooo the meme instantly came to mind
OK, so first chapter was called “Glimmering lights, fractured star, and the bounty board.” Glimmering lights is the river, they got a quest from it. Bounty board is here now too. So what is fractured star?
OH, it’s been mentioned briefly. The Fractured Star City, that’s the name of the “Main City” they’ve been going in and out of xD
Oh, I see! I missed that!
AHAHAHEHAHAH thank you for the chapter
