Chapter 312 (2/2)
He Yi silently walked up to the table and smashed it against the wood. She said, ”Mingyue, tell Little Tang to send over a new phone tomorrow evening. Also, get me a new SIM card under your name tomorrow.”
Finally, she sat down next to me and said, ”It's nothing, Lu Chen.”
”You call this nothing?” I pointed at the bits and pieces of her phone on the floor. ”Isn't this your favorite phone, a limited edition MOTO-CQ710? I even remember you telling me that the sh.e.l.l is platinum-plated and diamond-studded…”
He Yi curled her lips but said nothing.
Murong Mingyue smiled and asked tentatively, ”Did someone hara.s.s you or something?”
”Mn!”
He Yi nodded affirmatively. ”I wasn't even awake yet when I received that d.a.m.ned call this afternoon. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d even asked for my address saying that he would like to invite me to Jacky Cheung's live concert later this evening, hmph! Like come on, if I really want to hear Jacky Cheung sing, all I need to do is download an MP3…”
”...”
The incomplete explanation left both of us confused. I asked the obvious question, ”Who called you?”
”w.a.n.g Dongliang!”
”You mean that deputy director from Shanghai Shengyi? One of the Top Ten Youths of year 2023?”
”Mn.” A bit of disdain peeked out of He Yi's features. ”Top Ten Youths? They're all frauds and imposters. If a trust fund baby like w.a.n.g Dongliang could be a Top Ten Youth, then you could qualify for Top Ten Youths on the galactic scale, Lu Chen!”
I stared at her. ”I'm sorry to ask, but are you praising me or making fun of me?”
He Yi burst into a giggle. ”No… no I'm not. Anyway, let's eat, shall we? w.a.n.g Dongliang doesn't deserve our attention…”
Murong Mingyue smiled. ”That's true. Now that I think about it, how many people had confessed to you in the past couple years? Several hundred? A thousand? Anyway, most of them fancied themselves an outstanding person, but they were really just sc.u.mbags with pretty packaging. I already knew he had eyes for you since last night, but did you notice how he looked at you when he first saw you? He looked like he had lost his soul or something!”
”Who cares about him?”
He Yi waved a hand. ”Anyway, I'm getting a new SIM card. Worse comes to worst, I'll contact everyone I know and send them my new number. The contract with Shengyi is signed anyway, so I don't need to care about him anymore.”
”Mn!”
”We still have to go online and prepare for the Four Divine Sites, so let's finish this up quickly and try to level up once or twice before the big day!”
”Got it!”
……
I got online after lunch and appeared at Sky City's inn. I immediately received a series of system notices—
System Notice: Congratulations, the item ”Broken Bone Wristguard” you consigned for sale has been sold for 4500 gold. After deducting the 5% intermediary fee, you received 4275 gold!
System Notice: Congratulations, the item ”Snarling Skull War Boots” you consigned for sale has been sold for 5125 gold. After deducting the 5% intermediary fee, you received 4869 gold!
System Notice: Congratulations, the item ”Pathfinder War Boots” you consigned for sale has been sold for 48500 gold. After deducting the 5% intermediary fee, you received 46075 gold!
……
Tsk tsk, almost all of the items I had consigned for sale had been sold for a good price, netting me almost 90k gold total. The Pathfinder War Boots especially earned me almost 50k gold on their own because of their bonuses to attack speed, attack power and Tactics. I didn't know which hero bought it off my hands, but I wished them a long and happy life!
Personally, I wasn't expecting grinding high-level elite mobs to be this profitable, although the reason I was able to do so in the first place was all thanks to my level advantage. At any rate, I saw no reason to deviate from this wonderful path of wealth and power at all!
I got onto the exchange platform and converted tens of thousands of gold to money. It was safer this way, not to mention that life on this land wasn't an easy one. These days, everything such as health care, properties and fuel were all expensive as h.e.l.l, and even buying a grave to bury your loved ones could cost up to a hundred thousand RMB. My dad was no Li Gang and most certainly not the deputy director of anything, so it was up to me to put money in our bank accounts. I didn't want to shame Guo Jia more than I already did.
……
Beep!
System Notice: Player “From Water” invited you to the party. Do you accept?
Huh? Why is she inviting me to her party?
I was surprised, but I clicked ”Accept” anyway.
The moment I joined the party, He Yi's urgent voice immediately entered my ears. ”Lu Chen, come to Blackwater Bog right now! It's a war!”
”What war?”
”Xu Yang and Gui Guzi were grinding levels at Blackwater Bog until they were attacked by Flower Room's Li Le! The enemy is several hundred strong, and the situation isn't looking good for them!”
”I'm coming right away!”
I pulled out the Purgatory Sword angrily. Motherf.u.c.ker, how dare Flower Room bully my brothers at Sky City! Had those idiots completely lost their minds!?
