Chapter 96 (2/2)

“Boss!” Beiming Xue stared at me with a bright expression . “You look surprisingly okay for someone who always hides his face in the game!”

Her comment put an awkward smile on my face . The thing with the word “okay” was that it was cunning in nature . It could be good or bad .

“How old are you, Lil Beiming?” I asked .

“19 . What’s wrong?”

“Oh nothing, just making small talk . ”

Beiming Xue giggled at my reply . “Why didn’t you ask me if I have a boyfriend, boss?”

I spread my arms . “That doesn’t matter, b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries don’t discriminate between girls and women . Also, I’m not Du Thirteen . I would never ask something like that . ”

“Mu…”

Beiming Xue pursed her lips and made a noise to show her displeasure .

It was at this moment Du Thirteen walked over with a bag of ice creams and asked, “So, do you have a boyfriend, Lil Beiming?”

The only girl in our workshop froze like a statue . Some time later, she whispered to me, “Boss, you really are his brother…”

I snickered . Du Thirteen and I knew each other since the day we wore open-crotch pants . I could guess the exact number of hair he has on his body, to say nothing of his behavior .

A while later, a huge man with a curly beard all over his face appeared at Suzhou railway station . He had a lazy and harmless smile on his face . It was none other than Yamete, the healer we were all waiting for!

His real name was Ma Dai . It was a very courageous name .

“Welcome to Suzhou, Mamate!”

I walked up to him, extended my hand and introduced myself . “My name is Lu Chen, and my ID in Heavenblessed is Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand . In b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries, I am the Chief of Rooms, Head of Trash Management, and a.s.sistant Head of the Sub-District . You may address me as Head Lu from here on . ”

Yamete laughed loudly and shook my hand . “Please take good care of me, Head Lu . I’m a 25-year-old shut-in, and this is the first time I’ve ever traveled this far to live in a city . I’m sure I’ll be troubling you lots from here on . ”

I gave him a nod . “Don’t mention it . We are brothers, aren’t we?”

It was at this moment a smiling Beiming Xue walked up to us and asked, “Mamate, are you really only 25 years old? You look old enough to be Lu Chen’s uncle even though he’s only a year younger than you . ”

“Uncle…”

Yamete’s face twitched once before he forced out a smile . “You’re Beiming Xue, right? Here’s a sweet from your uncle . Be a good girl, will you?”

His smile was so vulgar that Beiming Xue actually took a few steps back . She nervously clung to my arm and said, “Boss…”

I consoled her . “It’s a joke, all members of b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries are upstanding gentlemen . Alright, we’ve dilly-dallied long enough . Let’s head back and get you both settled in first . Once the rooms are a.s.signed and the luggages are in place, we’ll go for dinner and celebrate your arrival . No one is allowed to go home without getting drunk tonight!”

“Alright!”

……

I relaxed when we finally arrived at the workshop and set down Beiming Xue’s luggage . I was sweating like a dog, to be honest . The amount of stuff a girl could bring with her on her travels was unreal .

Yamete exclaimed in pleasant surprise when he walked into the workshop, “Wow, it’s so vast!”

I nodded . “It’s a house with four rooms and a living room . The rent will be deducted from our operation funds . ”

“Okay . How should we a.s.sign the rooms?” Yamete asked .

The hearts of every man in the room skipped a beat as they turned to look at Beiming Xue . It was obvious that everyone was concerned with the only girl in the workshop, a beautiful one no less .

“Ahem…”

I cut off their delusions before they could take form and declared, “Beiming Xue will stay in the eastmost room, and I will sleep in the room next to hers . Thirteen and Mamate will share a room in the westmost room, and Gui Guzi, the room next to theirs . An extra bed should do the work . ”

Beiming Xue smiled sweetly . “Okay!”

Gui Guzi looked perfectly calm . He was more concerned about ways to improve himself in the game rather than room distribution .

Du Thirteen was disgruntled, complaining and objecting to the split of course, while Mamate looked at him with a kindly, fatherly expression on his face . I knew then that there would be no problems with our room distribution .

I helped Beiming Xue set up her gaming equipment such as installing the wires while she hung her clothes inside the wardrobe . It only took her a moment to fill it up completely . I could almost mistake her room for a dress shop .

I looked up and called out to her . “Beiming, you are connected to the internet now . ”

“Okay . Thanks boss!” Beiming Xue smiled in reply . She was currently folding a pink bra .

I froze for three full seconds before I smiled in return and ran out of the door . Behind me, Beiming Xue giggled like a silver bell .

……

It was past 7 pm in the evening when we headed out . Our destination was Happy House, Qin Lan Hall .

The table was covered in delicious food, and I even ordered two bottles of high-quality white spirit . Beiming Xue got a gla.s.s of fruit juice, of course .

Beiming Xue’s appet.i.te rose as she stared at the food . She said while holding her chopsticks, “It’s been a long while since I ate outside . There’s nothing like a restaurant’s food!”

I shot a look at her thin arms and smiled kindly . “Don’t hold back . You need to add some meat to your bones…”

“ . . . ”

Mamate laughed loudly at our exchange before holding up his gla.s.s . “Alright, should we drink one to b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries and our bright future?”

“Yeah!”

We clinked our gla.s.ses together and downed the contents in one gulp . Alcohol was an amazing thing that could get people drunk and loosen the mask a human normally wore to hide their true self . It was no wonder that the saying “in vino veritas” existed .

About three rounds later, everyone’s face was more or less red . Clearly, everyone except Beiming Xue was a little drunk .

Mamate wrapped his arm around Du Thirteen’s shoulders and said, “I’ve always been alone before this, so I’m really glad that I got to make a sister and brothers like you all! Would you like to go for another round, Lu Chen?”

“Let’s go!”

My stomach was positively burning after downing another gla.s.s of alcohol .  Man, this thing is seriously strong!

I suddenly decided that now was the time and got up to my feet . Gripping my gla.s.s tightly, I declared with a serious expression, “Brothers and sisters, there is something I must tell you all before we continue!”

“Oh?!”

Du Thirteen, Gui Guzi, and Mamate all looked at me with surprise . Beiming Xue also looked at me and asked, “What is this about, Lu Chen?”

“I want to tell you all the reason I founded our workshop in the first place!”

“I see . What is it?” Yamete asked with a wide-eyed look .

I answered, “If you played Spirit of Grief before, you probably remember a player named Falling Dust…”

“Falling Dust?” Yamete’s eyes turned serious . “Are you talking about that forgotten genius? The player who was given high praise by Lonely Grave?”

Beiming Xue also blinked her eyes knowingly . “I’ve heard of him too . If I remember correctly, the alliance leader of Time Is Water said this prior to his retirement: ‘If anyone is able to command Candlelight Shadow or Falling Dust, the virtual world is theirs to take!’ Am I right?”
