17 New Mission (1/2)

Suddenly it jolted on Jun that the person inside was Xintong.

”What is she doing in a chicken costume handing out fliers?” Jun thought to himself as he jogs over.

”Xintong why are you working in a chicken costume?” Jun asks.

”Oh Xing Lin what are you doing here?” Xintong asks while taking off the chicken head. She wasn't even the slightly embarrassed but her face was red hot from the costume.

”I came by to buy some food when I heard you.”

”How about I take you to grab some when I'm done. I'll be done handing out these fliers soon ,” Xintong said.

”Alright let me help you then,” Jun said without asking any unnecessary questions.

”No its fine you don't need to,” Xintong tried to say.

”Its no problem,” Jun answered grabbing half her fliers.

”Wings Out's grand opening soon! Come grab a flier for the grand opening discounts!” Jun shouted loudly. ”Hey miss you over there!” Jun shouted a girl ten to fifteen feet away. ”This wing place is opening soon. You look like you enjoy chicken wings. Come grab a flier for the coupons.”

The girl looks at Jun like he has mental issues but took one anyway. I do enjoy chicken wings through she thought to himself.

With Jun helping out they easily handed out all the fliers within the hour.

”Whew!” Xintong said feeling swamped as she sat down onto a bench with a cold drink. She then hands Jun one too. ”Thanks for the help by the way.”

”No problem,” Jun answers. ”Lets go get something to eat. I'm still starving.”

”Oh yeah. I know a good place. Let me hand my costume back to the boss. Give me one sec.”

In a couple minutes Xintong gave back the costume and got paid for her work.

As they walked toward the restaurant Xintong struck up a conversation.

”So what kind of food do you like?” Xintong asks trying to make small talk.

”Mhmm,” Jun replies pretending to think. ”Anything really but I do especially like ramen.”

”Ooohhh I love it too. There's actually a ramen shop nearby that makes the best ramen in the city. Follow me its actually pretty close right now.”

”Is it Ruka's Ramen?”

”Yeah how you know? Do you live here?”

”I recently just got back from adventuring outside when you met you all. My apartment is actually pretty close by,” Jun said half lying.

”Oh I'm surprise we never met before,” Xintong winks.

Jun shrugs.

”Hey I don't think I got your cell number last time.” Xintong said suddenly.

”Uh,” Jun stutters since he couldn't possibly give her his original cell. ”I don't currently have one.”

”...”

”It was broken when I was out adventuring. I'll be getting a new one soon,” Jun explains since in this day and age unless he was a weirdo then he would definitely have a cellphone.

”Its okay if you don't use one,” Xintong said trying to reassure him.

I really do have cellphone Jun wanted to shout.

”Did practice those three techniques yet?” Xintong asks changing the subject.

”Yeah I began the soul enlighten training. Its amazing. Your clan must be so strong if they cultivate in that.”

Xintong just gave a smile.

”Sorry I didn't mean too.”

”Its okay its been a long time but they were strong. Oh by the way are you going to take the exam for Ziren College next month?” Xintong asks.

”Probable not. I have no cultivation at the moment. I doubt I will make it in,” Jun said.

”The exam is not only on cultivation. You can try to get in through other fields like, alchemy, formation scribe, blacksmith, and even beast tamer.”

”Hahaha I don't think it will be easy for me to do any of these tasks without qi,” Jun chuckles.

”I think there's another way but I don't how you would feel about it.”

”What way?”

”The other way is as a servant. If one of us place in the top 10 then he or she is allowed to bring 10 servant with them. The servants can attend class and everything but they to have limitation.”

”I'll have to think about it. A month is a long time anything can happen from now till then. But why would you working? Didn't you just make a ton of money?” Jun asks.

”Oh yeah but the company is riddled with debt. I am just trying to speed up the process.”

”I think it be better if you spent that energy on acquiring customers,” Jun blurted out by accident.

”Your right but everyone is working so hard and I don't know what I can do to acquire more customers.”

”Yeah its tough,” he agreed.

”Oh we're here,” Xintong shouts cheerfully.

In front of them was a brick shop that was no bigger than a thousand square feet. When they went through the door the shop had a very homely feeling. It was small with a bar like counter. It was a fifty year old man behind the counter with his middle age daughter.

”Welcome to Ichi Ichi Ramen,” the girl greeted. ”Can I get you anything to drink to start off?”

”I'll take a glass of water,” Jun said as he sat down.
