The Geared Immortal 342 Merging Of Worlds 7

The birthday party

/*unedited*/

Auto Level Balance or ALB is a term in-game which means that a monster in-game would return to their supposed original level after an unexpected event.

This term is used in 'Merging Worlds' as an automatic balance to those proper quest takers.

In a particular part of the vast forest of one of the beginner's villages in the European server, six people are sitting on the ground surrounded by floating wisps. They look exhausted, but on their faces, one can see the happiness after a grueling and extraneous fight.

"Mister s.h.i.+n, you really are a great fighter. I can't believe that you can solo a Boss Kobold. And your level… my gosh, I didn't expect that you are a low-level player."

"Well, I guess your skills in the real world is really amazing. This is what I have learned from the news. I heard that at the start of the game, there are those professional gamers that have started to work out and practice just to prepare for the launching of this game."

"Haha… I guess you are one of them, right?"

Hearing the comments and questions of the party, s.h.i.+n Jiao just smile but didn't explain anything. But he can see the glistening views of the people in the party towards him.

'Friend invite… Friend invite…'

Five notifications appear on the upper right side of his view. Since he found these people a bit fun to be with, he just accepted them.

"Hey… How about the loot?" Aaron asked.

"If it's okay I will determine the share of each one of us," Cecile said.

As a party leader, the other party members trusted her. Plus Cecile would always timely give support to her teammates when necessary which made her a truly capable leader and support of the team.

After the agreement of all the party members, they all returned to town with a big haul.

"Do you think those guys would retaliate with us?" suddenly the timid Glen said while the party is walking back to town.

"Maybe, maybe not… Who knows? But I will never cower if they wanted a PVP challenges. Plus this is the beginner's area. Although PVP is allowed outside, the stats and skill debuff is annoying. Hehe… With s.h.i.+n's ability, it would be a cinch to defeat them." May sneered.

The party arrived in the village without a problem and reported their quest. Then s.h.i.+n Jiao noticed that his level once again raises to level 5, this only means that the quest gives off ma.s.sive exp. points. When s.h.i.+n Jiao saw the time overhead, he sighs…

He has enjoyed a full-blown fight inside the game which truly satisfied his cravings for an all-out fight which he cannot do outside as it would cause too much destruction. Hence to today is a really satisfying day for him.

s.h.i.+n Jiao logs out from the game after saying goodbye to his newfound western friends.

"Sigh… That was a very refres.h.i.+ng experience. I was right to create this game." s.h.i.+n Jiao heaves a happy sigh.

The time is already 5 a.m. but although he didn't get to sleep, his body felt relaxed.

"I guess this is the effect of the spirit Qi gathering array in the visor. Normal people would feel refreshed as if they just went to sleep and had a nice dream when playing at night." he thought.

After waking up, he did some tinkering as he wanted to give something to the old man the Nui family as a birthday present.

It was already 6 a.m. when s.h.i.+n Jiao was done with his gift. And from his sharp hearing, he can hear Susan Tang waking up from her sleep.

…

That morning at the office, there are already many people in the lobby who are waiting for the CEO of the NXT Element Company. They came here for the hope of having a partners.h.i.+p with the visor technology. Many of them are software companies that wanted to also integrate their software into the gadget.

Susan Tang and s.h.i.+n Jiao have already discussed this between them and wanted to accept those soft wares who wanted to partner with them. Plus hundreds of other companies who wanted to work with other projects from the NXT Element Company.

NXT Element Company is a private company. Susan Tang didn't want to tap on public funds yet for the growth of the company as it is still starting. Plus right now, money is pouring while the expenses are minimal because the company didn't need that much money for Ru0026D plus materials. Since that is already taken care of by s.h.i.+n Jiao and his crafting ability.

And so the progress of the company is good so far.

After the whole day of work, Susan Tang is clearly exhausted as she lies on the sofa and immediately fell asleep. s.h.i.+n Jiao carried her to her room and put her to bed. Looking at the time, it's only almost 6:30 p.m. but because of the non-stop work at the office, Susan seems to have been a bit stressed out. After casting a few arrays inside the room, s.h.i.+n Jiao went out.

He is going to the Hui family party today and quickly refreshes himself up and changes his clothes. He wore semi-formal clothes, a simple blue long-sleeve s.h.i.+rt, and black skinny slacks. He didn't want to act like a snub and just want to blend in with the crowd.

He arrived at the parking lot of the large mansion of the Hui's and saw that there are already many people inside.

"I guess people have arrived ahead of time." s.h.i.+n Jiao muttered after getting off the cab.

When he was on the gate, he was blocked by two large bodyguards.

"This is the Hui family party, do you have an invitation, sir?" one of the large men asked.

"Invitation? No, Jun Hui just called me and invited me to this party. He didn't tell me about any invitation." s.h.i.+n Jiao explained.

"Sorry sir, we can't let you in without an invitation." One of the guards politely said.

s.h.i.+n Jiao felt a bit annoyed, but because of the polite gesture of the guards, he didn't want to cause trouble. So he just dialed Jun Hui's number.

While waiting, a man's voice from behind him threw a sarcastic comment.

"Che, Acting like he knew one of the masters of the Hui family. Judging from his looks, he might be some random businessman who wanted to fawn over the Hui family business. Just get out of the way and let us pa.s.s through."

The man said as he walked pa.s.ses behind s.h.i.+n Jiao and flashed an invitation card to the guards.

Beside him are two gorgeous women wearing blue and white cheongsam, while the man himself wore an expensive-looking black and gold tuxedo. He looks like in his 40's with a neat hairdo, while the women beside him look like in their 20's with thick makeup.

 s.h.i.+n Jiao didn't bother with him and just let him pa.s.s through, as he steps aside.

With a sneer on his face, he took a glance at s.h.i.+n Jiao and felt a bit irritated. This is because s.h.i.+n Jiao looks really handsome, even his two escorts could not remove their eyes on him.

"Che, all looks and no money. I suspect that his suit is not even his." the man sneered.

The other people also saw s.h.i.+n Jiao's side view feature and was a bit surprised at his handsome features. There are many handsome faces in the people entering, but s.h.i.+n Jiao's feature is ethereal as he is a cultivator.

"Hey, you… you should kick that beggar out of this place. It's tarnis.h.i.+ng the prestige of the Hui family if that plebian loiters outside." The man continuously instigated.

This time, s.h.i.+n Jiao felt annoyed and looks at the man with a contemplating gaze. He is weighing in his mind whether to teach the guy a lesson or let him be. s.h.i.+n Jiao already knew that he is a very powerful being who came back to this planet. But that didn't give him the authority to bully or teach others a lesson just to exert his dominance.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to get beaten?" the man glared back at s.h.i.+n Jiao and took a step towards his position.

The two guards felt a bit uneasy as the man continuously instigated to create trouble.

"Sir, please calm yourself down. This gentleman is not doing anything." one of the guards said.

"You! Do you know I am? If not, then shut up!" the man suddenly roared.

He felt annoyed at the guard who doesn't know how to judge the situation. For him, as long as he wanted to act, no one can stop him. Even the Hui's themselves would think twice before offending him.

The man is Junjiang Hsu a well-known boss of City H, but he was a known gangster boss before and converted his business into a legit enterprise. But of course, this is only on the surface, behind the scene few knew that he actually holds one of the most notorious gangs in City H, the Red Scorpion Gang.

With his temperament, JunJiang Hsu always faces his enemy head-on and he would always rely on his brute force to fix his problems just like any other gangs.

However, the reason why his business improved is because of his younger sister who works in the background. And his younger sister is with him attending this party.

Before anything could happen, and a pet.i.te young woman wearing a dark gray body fit formal business suit step in front of JunJiang Hsu.

"This is not our turf behave brother." She said without taking a glance at s.h.i.+n Jiao.

JunJiang hesitated a bit but nods his head.

Without another word, the woman walks ahead followed by JunJiang Hsu, who glared at s.h.i.+n Jiao, and his two escorts.

Everyone in the gate showed a surprised expression looking at the beautiful and confident woman.

Even s.h.i.+n Jiao was a bit taken aback.

But then his attention was interrupted by the voice on the other line.
