Chapter 157: Cozy and sweet
The next morning, when I woke up, I saw that there was a little beauty waiting beside me. Who else would it be if not Ling Xue?
Ling Xue looked at me and said with a teasing smile, "Did you sleep enough? Un, it's only ten in the morning. Do you still want to sleep? I can keep waiting……"
I immediately stood up and put on a shirt, "I don't have a hobby of being watched while sleeping and you're not my mother……"
Ling Xue curled her lips and said, "Stop wasting words and get up. I'll wait for you outside. You have to be ready for me in half an hour!"
I gave a nod and immediately got up. After washing up, I changed into a set of clean clothes.
In the end, Ling Xue looked at me before coming forward to reach her hands out and helped me fix my collar. I could feel the speed of my heart beating doubling!
"Un, although you aren't very handsome, it's barely good enough to go out with……" Ling Xue sized me up before giving this conclusion.
Downstairs, Ling Xue got in her car and waved at me to get into the passenger seat. Then she said, "We'll get to the school in ten minutes!"
I was a bit surprised, "Impossible, you'll kill people at that speed! Forget it, I'll drive!"
"Oh?" Ling Xue was a bit surprised, "Little fool, you have a driver's license?"
"No, but I'm very stable when it comes to driving……"
"Oh, alright then. Come and sit beside me!"
As she said this, Ling Xue gathered up her pink skirt and crawled into the passenger seat.
I was very speechless, wasn't this a bit too much!
I carefully moved to the left, but the space wasn't that big. Ling Xue's arm accidentally bumped into the steering wheel and she fell down into my embrace! With the warm jade feeling, I panicked as I grabbed Ling Xue's waist and blurted, "It's so elastic……"
Ling Xue's face turned red and she immediately moved off my body to the seat. She glared at me with her beautiful eyes and angrily said, "You're still speaking, you're so dumb!"
At this time, an old lady with a walking stick came over. Seeing Ling Xue and I in the car, she shook her head and said with a sigh, "Young people nowadays……Not knowing when is the right time. It's early in the morning, can this glass really block everything?"
Ling Xue's face turned even more red in shame and she angrily said, "It's all you! Now I'm being misunderstood by the grandmothers downstairs!"
I said with a smile, "A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, you're not losing anything……"
"That is right……"
I took the keys from Ling Xue and started the car, slowly driving it out of the neighbourhood.
The sun was bright in the sky and it was very warm. I lowered the temperature of the air conditioning. Ling Xue looked at me and said with a smile, "Little fool, I really couldn't tell! You really do drive very steady!"
"That's right!"
Following Ling Xue's directions, I stopped the car in a restaurant's parking lot. This restaurant wasn't that big, but it was definitely not a cheap place.
Arriving at the booked room, we saw that there were quite a few people inside. Jiangnan Small Bridge and Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance were already there, as well as some other boys and girls. I quickly looked around and saw that the girls looked alright, but compared to Ling Xue, they couldn't be compared.
The boys and girls also revealed surprised looks after seeing me. It was clear that Ling Xue didn't tell them in advance that I was coming.
One girl's mouth opened wide before saying in a pleasantly surprised voice after a while, "This handsome brother, are you Xue Yue's Easily Angered Bookworm, the legendary Dragon Whisperer expert?"
Ling Xue nodded with a smile, "That's right, but there's no prize!"
I then nodded at them with a smile, "I am Easily Angered Bookworm, you can just call me Bookworm!"
Jiangnan Small Bridge and Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance nodded. We already knew each other, so I just introduced myself to the others.
Injured Wind, level 46 assassin who was the thin boy.
Flying Fire Firefly, level 48 assassin. He was a very energetic boy with a very loud voice.
There were the other three berserkers that I met last time. One girl was called Seeking Dream, a level 44 cleric who seemed very delicate and the other was a girl called Quiet Grass, a level 45 magician. Along with Jiangnan Small Bridge, the three girls were Ling Xue's roommates.
So everyone sat down on their own, with Ling Xue sitting beside me. I could see some envy in the eyes of the other boys, but it was a good thing that it was just envy and wasn't hatred.
Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance said with a smile, "I never thought that in just a few short days, Ling Xue would reach the top of China's level rankings! Truly powerful! We had planned on looking for Ling Xue to join our team for the King's Return tournament, but now it seems like we're not qualified……"
Ling Xue said, "Thank you for your good intentions, but our Xue Yue Studio is forming our own team."
Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance nodded with a smile, "Un, forming a team with experts like Easily Angered Bookworm and Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon is the smart choice. Then our group will have to create a team by ourselves……"
I said, "There's no need to be polite, how about you also join Xue Yue? Anyway, we're all on the same side and there are many things that we need everyone's help with in the future!"
Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance said with a laugh, "That's right. It seems like Bookworm's relationship with Ling Xue is quite good?"
I was surprised. Ling Xue on the side hit the table with her cup before saying with a smile, "Hey! What relationship I have with Bookworm, you don't need to ask! That is personal information!"
Xiao Qiao looked at Ling Xue and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, you don't even look at all the handsome guys at our school, so it was like this……"
Ling Xue's face turned red, "It was like what? Xiao Qiao, don't think random thoughts, it isn't what you think!"
Xiao Qiao wouldn't believe this as she teased Ling Xue with a smile. The other girls were also interested in this. It was most likely because Ling Xue had never revealed this kind of expression.
I felt a bit of pain in my arm as Ling Xue glared at me and said in a small voice, "It's all you, you don't even help me say anything!"
I said in a voice filled with schadenfreude, "Is there a need to say anything? Everyone already thinks it's like this……"
Ling Xue groaned a bit before ordering dishes, ordering a full table to get revenge. Then the boys ordered some wine. When Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance raised his wine, I shook my head with a smile, "I have to drive later, so I'll replace the wine with tea!"
Raising the cup, I found that it was filled with yogurt filled by Ling Xue. Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance looked at the cup and I could only awkwardly say, "It's not tea replacing wine, it's milk replacing wine……"
The girls immediately broke out in laughter.
After the meal, I had some understanding of these young students. They were not bad, all of them being filled with youthful energy and having ambition to become unique in their generation. Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance drank too much and even raised his cup to vow, "I will make Xue Yue the number one guild in the world and rule over the Chinese players……"
Ling Xue covered her smile before saying to me, "Little fool, if you say these words to my big sister, she will definitely be very moved! She might even give you her body!"
I said with a smile, "Alright, I'll say it when I get back!"
"You dare!" Ling Xue brandished her snow white fist like she was threatening me.
Jiangnan Small Bridge and the other girls didn't drink as they supported Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance and the others out. I went to settle the bill and the table of dishes with the wine was only around a thousand. The place by the school really wasn't that expensive!
The sun was still in the sky and the asphalt on the street was about to melt as it was soft to walk on. Ling Xue raised her small hand to block the sun as she said to me, "Little fool, walk faster!"
I quickly went forward as Ling Xue hid behind me, using me as an umbrella for the sun!
When we returned to the studio, Ling Yue and Bing Cha were currently playing chess, being killed very hard. Ling Xue immediately came forward to observe as Qin Yun took my hand and said, "Bookworm, come grocery shopping with me! We'll prepare dinner early and log on after eating to do as much as we can in White Cloud City!"
I nodded. When we went out, it was three in the afternoon, which was the hottest time.
We went to the grocery store on the opposite side of the neighbourhood. Qin Yun was in a goose feather yellow skirt that made her look like a blooming flower. The neighbours couldn't help looking at her and the auntie selling cucumbers praised, "Little fellow, your girlfriend really is beautiful!"
I was surprised. When I wanted to explain, Qin Yun quickly reached out to take my arm and said with a smile, "What did you want to say?"
"Nothing……You really are beautiful today!" I casually said and didn't awkwardly pull back my arm. After all, it would embarrass Qin Yun and I couldn't do this.
Qin Yun looked at the prices and asked me, "Bookworm, do you like cucumbers?"
I said, "They're not bad. Summer might want to use them, so buy a few……"
Qin Yun couldn't help saying with a smile, "You're so bad!"
I gave a laugh. It was much easier to talk to Qin Yun since a mature 24 year old like Qin Yun knew more than Ling Xue and Ling Yue, there was no need to beat around the bush for many things.
After going around, we bought many vegetables and some meat which were all carried by me. Qin Yun looked at me and said with a smile, "Let me carry a bit as well!"
I shook my head, "It's fine. Let's go back?"
"Un."
When we returned to the studio, Qin Yun quickly started cooking. The other girls didn't feel good about sitting and waiting to eat, so they all helped. Zi Yue said she wanted to kill the fish, but in the end, the black carp jumped from the bucket of water onto the ground and then back into the water, cheerfully jumping like a diving athlete.
Zi Yue was dumb enough, she couldn't even take care of a single fish. I came forward and broke the fish's neck before draining its blood. Zi Yue's mouth opened wide in surprise, "Bookworm's skills really are as deep as a well!"
Then I sat face to face with Ling Xue peeling the beans. Ling Xue looked at me with a sweet smile and I smiled back, but that caused me to throw the beans into the garbage and the bean shell into the bucket, which made Summer look down on me.
Dinner was much earlier than usual and the sun was still up. We gathered around the table to eat and everyone was very lively, so it was very fun. Qin Yun's cooking was impeccable and Bing Cha praised her, "Whoever marries big sister Qin Yun in the future will have used up eight generations of luck……"
Qin Yun secretly looked at me and I was very pressured. I can't say that Qin Yun wasn't good, but who told me to meet Ling Xue first? There were some things that couldn't be forced, although I did envy people who took wives and concubines. If I could take all the girls in the studio into a single room, un, it would be a beautiful scene all around!
Because Spirit of Grief's servers would restart at six at night, everyone was excited, so we ate fast and finished all the dishes in less than half an hour. Then everyone sat there drinking some tea as we waited for China's first grade main city, White Cloud City to open!
Ling Yue asked, "If you are the first to enter the main city, what will you do?"
Ling Xue said, "I'll first see what kind of magical items the equipment shop sells……"
Bing Cha said, "Take all the quests!"
Qin Yun said, "See if there are any high grade magic potions. The MP potions in Sunset City are too lacking……"
I said, "Leave the city and first take out one of the first spawned bosses in one of the leveling zones outside the city!"
Ling Yue couldn't help revealing a faint smile, "Bookworm has a different view than me. But, quests are important and we should get the quests first."
I nodded. I was joking just now because doing quests to get prestige was the way to go, everyone understood this.
In the last ten minutes, under Ling Yue's orders, everyone returned to their rooms and waited for the servers to open.
Putting on the gaming helmet, I looked in front of me and I appeared in the nothingness. There was a countdown for the game's release in front of me, so I could only just wait. Watching the seconds count down, I couldn't help being surprised. Why did time pass by so quickly with Ling Xue like a day was a year? The theory of relativity really was profound!
Finally, there was a ring from the system after ten minutes.
"Ding~!"
System announcement: There are 10 seconds left before the servers open!
Counting the seconds, when it reached 1, I immediately pressed the enter the game button!
"Shua!"
It lit up in front of me and I appeared in Sunset City's square. I was a part of the first batch of players, but as white lights appeared, there were more players that logged on. There were even some that were pushed out and could only wait for people to move to log on.
I went forward and talked to the transport staff. This old magician raised his wand with a shaky hand and said, "Young man, do you want to go to the legendary human alliance main city, White Cloud City?"
I pressed confirm and immediately heard a system notification.
"Ding~!"
System notification: Your prestige is over 2000, you can go to White Cloud City. It costs 100 gold coins to open the transport spot and 1000 gold coins to transport. Do you accept this transport?
I was a bit surprised! The requirement to enter the main city were this strict! Without 2000 prestige, did they have to go through Sunset City's mountains and walk to White Cloud City? The location of White Cloud City could be seen in the game's basic information, it would take at least ten hours to get there. It cost 100 gold coins to open the transport, but then it cost 1000 gold coins to transfer there. Moon Monochrome really were evil merchants that ate people and didn't spit out the bones!
After thinking about it, I said forget it and spent the money! Anyway, I could easily make money, so entering the main city first to seize opportunities was the path of the king!
So when I clicked confirm, my gold coins were taken and I was pulled away by some magic energy. Then with a flash, I appeared in the new White Cloud City. All around me were large human buildings and there were marble tiles that paved the roads of White Cloud City. There were high level NPC guards holding large swords that were currently patrolling around.
"Hua!"
With a flash of light, there was a warrior wearing fire red armour that appeared by me. Looking at his name, I couldn't help being surprised. Hell Flames!
