Chapter 51: Innocent Lele

“That guy’s such a big spender!? He actually spent 10 gold to gamble at the pawnshop and buy those things that no one reclaimed.” ThornyRose said amazed after hearing the whistleblower, Lil’Dino’s report.

“According to what my sister said, it’s a mechanism made for gambling for random equipment. The risk is too big.” FrozenBlood said after thinking it over.

“Can we go have a look too?” GreenDew was tempted.

ThornyRose nodded. They arrived at the pawn shop, and wasted 5 gold coins, only getting 2 pieces of fine quality accessories. On the way out, they slammed the door shut. If they knew the stats on Ye Cang’s ring, they would probably become even more flustered. Their only comfort was that the items weren’t completely useless, otherwise it really would have been a complete waste.

Really New Village, early morning, in Rica’s general store. Ye Cang’s group was resupplying. He upgraded his arrows to normal arrows, graduating from those shoddy ones he used before. FrozenCloud discovered that when these guys bought things here, it was cheaper than usual. She was amazed at how well they got along with Rica. Lin Le even played with her grandson Jesse.

“Granny Rica, were the black werewolves really people from the village?” Ye Cang looked at Rica who was knitting a sweater and asked. With her age, she would definitely know the truth.

“Mm, at that time I was still very young. After the wolf god degenerated, it was a catastrophe. My significant other also died in that battle against the werewolves. The mayor at that time was our current mayor’s father. Under his guidance, we managed to drive them away, but that was just the beginning of the nightmare. The depths of the northern forest has become their paradise, so you all should be careful. Those things have already lost all human nature.” Rica stared blankly, thinking back to those times, then looked towards them and warned.

Ye Cang crossed his arms and nodded. He suddenly realised that every time they visited, they had never brought a gift. He took out a large drumstick from the monstrous bird and put it on the table. “You can make something good for Jesse with this.”

“It’s actually a monstrous bird! It’s been so many years since I’ve eaten it. It’s too precious, I can’t receive it.” Rica looked at Jesse’s hungry eyes, and quickly took out her money pouch. Ye Cang reached out to stop her and shook his head. “Don’t mind it. Granny Rica, you always take such good care of us when we visit. This is our heartfelt thanks.”

“Exactly! Granny Rica, don’t be a stranger.” Zhang ZhengXiong smiled brightly.

Rica looked at the four people’s smiles and faintly smiled back. They’re all such good children. She didn’t continue to refuse.

Ye Cang tidied up his arrows and brought the three others to the doorway. “We’re going now.”

“Be careful on your journey!” Rica waved as she warned them. Little Jesse also waved at them frantically.

The door chime rang, and the four of them left the general store.

“Bro, our food delivery is here, let’s get off and eat breakfast.” Zhang ZhengXiong reminded him. Ye Cang looked towards FrozenCloud. “Lil’Dino, you should also go eat breakfast, then come meet us back here.”

FrozenCloud hadn’t eaten breakfast in a long time as she usually skipped it, but she still nodded her head. Seeing the three of them go offline, she leaned against a fence and closed her eyes to rest.

Ye Cang slowly got up from bed. Zhang ZhengXiong was at the door getting their food. Lin Le pointed at Wu Na was still in the game and looked like she was fighting an intense battle. Ye Cang was full of curiosity as he sent a message over. “Breakfast time…”

“You guys eat first! I’m fighting a boss over here! Save me a portion! Ok, no more talking. Eat my lesser wind blade!” Wu Na quickly replied.

Ye Cang faintly smiled and closed the chat. “This silly girl… she’s fighting a boss. Let’s eat first.”

After eating breakfast, the three of them returned to the game. They met up with the waiting FrozenCloud and arrived at the northern exit of town. ThornyRose and the three girls were already there to waiting for them. They called from afar: “Yo, where are you guys going? Are you ditching us to finish the follow up quest?”

Ye Cang frowned and thought: “Were they stalking us this whole time? Impossible, if there was someone following us, either me or A’Xiong would feel it. And I didn’t tell them where we were going. Don’t tell me!?” He quietly whispered “There’s a spy amongst us…”

FrozenCloud watch as Ye Cang turned his head and carefully examined each of them with sharp eyes. Finally he looked at his own chest. Her heart sank, did he find out!?
