In front of the restaurant, I watched Lin Yixin drive away in the car and shook my head. ”Such a great appet.i.te.”
Murong Mingyue gently b.u.mped my arm. ”Stop looking, she's already far away. Let's return. By the time we walk back, Lin Yixin should be near her dormitories.”
”Mn.”
……
As we walked along the street, I saw He Yi deep in thought as she walked next to me.
”What is it?” I asked.
He Yi pressed her lips and said, ”Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya's relations.h.i.+p is very good, right?”
”Yeah!”
I nodded and said, ”We have the same goals and enemies. Also, Beauty Lin just joined us for lunch offline. Either way, our relations.h.i.+p is strong.”
He Yi blinked and halted. After a while, she said, ”We allied together out of mutual interest. Then, if we defeat G.o.ds of Destruction, Mad Dragon, and Peach Garden, only Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls will remain in Floating Ice City. Will we fight then?”
”This...”
I stilled and then gently patted He Yi's shoulder, feeling relieved. ”Don't worry. I think that the super cities will open before we completely destroy G.o.ds of Destruction. Once the three main cities—Sky City, Vanished G.o.d City, and Wind City—open, status quo will naturally change. At that time, we might have to ally with Snowy Cathaya to fight other factions. The road is long, and Snowy Cathaya will be our ally from start to finis.h.!.+”
”Yes.”
He Yi smiled. ”That would be best. We need to set up meals together often from now on.”
”Oh, that's easy. Didn't you hear what Beauty Lin said before leaving…?”
”What did she say?”
”Call me when you go out to eat.”
”...”
……
After returning to the workshop at 1:30 pm, we immediately went online to start the quest!
Swhoos.h.!.+
It was night in the game, and my view was hazy. Streaks of moonlight penetrated the gaps in the tree crowns. The surroundings were silent as fireflies danced beautifully through the gra.s.s.
I crawled out of my tent and looked around, holding the Purgatory Sword. I discovered the players in the surrounding tents were awake, and seemed to have logged on already.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The tents disappeared, replaced by beautiful girls. The three women of the Frost Cloud workshop were the first to come online. Lin Yixin was the last. We dusted off the gra.s.s and soil on our clothes and prepared to depart!
I walked at the front. The team was such a scientific combination. One undead swordsman, one light wanderer, one magic knight, one priest, one dark archer. We had Attack, Defense, and HP. The only thing we truly lacked was a magic DPSer!
I couldn't help but lament, ”Our workshop needs a super strong mage. Otherwise, we won't be able to defeat high-Defense monsters.”
He Yi laughed softly. ”Leave this to karma. There are only a few top-cla.s.s mages in the China server. Luo River G.o.d of the Capital is the leader of Purple Lily, Shadow Chanel is in Beauty Yi's guild, G.o.d's Dance is Candlelight Shadow's, and our top mage... well, is temporarily studying abroad. There hasn't been any news from her yet!”
Murong Mingyue said, ”I haven't seen Lian Xin in a long time, I miss her so much. I don't know how the girl's doing now. Before she left, the person she was most reluctant to part with was you, Lu Chen. She even left you a multi-purpose tablet in the company, saying it was a gift!”
I was surprised. ”Hm? Tablet? Why did I never hear of it?”
”Oh, the logistics director lost it. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Eve fired him the next day...”
”d.a.m.n!”
I looked at He Yi. This vice president was really a butcher!
……
Lin Yixin held the Moonlight Sword and walked quickly to my left, listening to us chat. I felt that she was a bit unusual.
Suddenly, there was a beep. A message from Lin Yixin: ”Hey, stinky Lu Chen, you call me over for a quest. I came to your help, and now you ignore me and just chat with your beautiful boss. If you dare ignore me again, you're so dead...”
I laughed and tilted my head toward Lin Yixin. She was looking at me with anger in her purple eyes. Startled, she shouted, ”What are you looking at?!”
”Nothing, nothing...”
I didn't dare to tease her in a situation like this. He Yi, Murong Mingyue, and Beiming Xue were all here. It wasn't appropriate. If I dared to publicly tease Lin Yixin, the next time we went offline I would be thrown out our fifth-floor window by the three girls in the workshop. The consequences of that would be quite severe.
I sent a message to Lin Yixin: ”Yiyi, you ate so much today, the plate was covered in bones~~”
Lin Yixin flushed and glared at me. She sent a message: ”You ate a lot! Hmph, you drank more than ten bowls of soup, I look down on you!”
I responded, ”Speaking of which, what the two of us ate together may not equal what Sister Mingyue ate...”
”Exactly!”
Lin Yixin expressed her agreement. Then she and I looked together at Murong Mingyue. Murong Mingyue was shocked. ”Hm, why are you two looking at me like this?”
I hurriedly said, ”Nothing! Sister Mingyue, you look so beautiful today!”
”Really?” Murong Mingyue chuckled. ”Where?”
