Chapter 10: Asking to Rentshare (1/2)
Whew!
Taking off the helmet, I took a deep breath. My body could not quite stand being online for eight hours. Maybe because I had been buried in the soil for so long?
It was still drizzling rain outside. It was rare to have such gentle rain in the summer that made people's hearts ripple. I inwardly marveled. Rain can make my heart ripple? When did I become so sentimental?
I went downstairs and entered the small noodle shop. I shouted loudly, ”Boss lady, a bowl of sliced beef noodles, dry cut, the five yuan a bowl kind. Remember to put a bit more beef in!”
The boss rolled her eyes at me and went to make the noodles.
Not long after, a large hot steaming bowl of noodles was delivered in front of me. Yes, since three years ago when Suzhou's real estate market crashed, the price of food and restaurants had lowered greatly. Pro players like me could finally eat meat everyday.
I lowered my head and ate. There wasn't much beef, just a few pieces sliced as thin as paper. Damn!
……
After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, I rubbed my stomach and went upstairs. Already half-asleep, I entered deep slumber the instant my head touched the pillow.
In my dream, I was lying on a small mountain of golden coins, pillowed by an enormous Phantasmal Magic Stone, Purple Crystals underneath me. I held a divine Fire Sword in my left hand, a divine Dead Wind Blade in my right. I wore a set of top-tier Ghost Blade Armor. I had my legs crossed as I shouted down, ”Can you be more gentle and professional?”
”Apologies, Master!”
The soft and sweet voice of a female came from my feet. This was a young elf dressed in thin robe that was massaging me, kneeling by my legs. That abundant and tender body was enchanting. Yes, life was good!
In the distance, the marshal of the Night Creatures, an undead covered in barbs, knelt on the ground as he trembled all over. He pleaded, ”Great warrior, spare me. I came out to make a living, let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother, a nursing son and wife!”
My order came swiftly. ”Kill him!”
Countless gods descended, and cut the Night Creature marshal into eighty-one pieces. The pieces were strung together and roasted to be shared. As they ate, they shouted ”Long Live the King.”
At this time, a soft voice came by. ”Grapes? My king ...”
I turned and saw a purple grape held in a small crimson mouth coming toward me. An enchanting fragrance and sweetness entered my mouth. I could not endure it and looked up at the beauty giving me this grape but suddenly stilled. This beautiful face was one that I missed—He Yi!
”!?”
I shouted in shock and immediately sat up. ”Bo-boss, how can it be you?” ……
”Lu Chen, dammit! Wake up!”
I suddenly opened my eyes. So it was all a dream. The person sweating heavily in front of me was Du Thirteen, my good friend.
”What, am I not welcome?” Du Thirteen patted the luggage next to him which had a helmet hanging off the case. He grinned. ”I just started my vacation. It’s boring staying at home alone so I came over to live with you. We can play Heavenblessed together, level up together. So good, haha ...”
I looked around my room and said, ”This is a one-bedroom suite without air conditioning, where will you sleep?”
”I will sleep in the living room.”
”Then you will be responsible for the entire rent...”
”Damn! Aren’t you too black-hearted?”
Du Thirteen's eyes widened. ”Stop wasting words, what level are you? How about I boost you? I am halfway through Level 9, I can reach Level 10 this afternoon and leave the starting village, haha! Bro, you have three seconds of delay, you should at most be at Level 8, right?”
I smiled mysteriously. ”Wrong, my present level is—11!”
”What?!”
