Chapter 9 (2/2)
Ji Meng glanced at his bag. In it was all sorts of rubbish, and he nearly threw them all back in a fit of anger.
”After we get back, go sell all this junk! You're not allowed to keep a single one of them!”
”Don't worry, I'll definitely do that!” Ling Xiaolu patted his chest in a.s.surance, and even took the opportunity to flatter him. ”There's so many fun things in your bag!”
Ji Meng pretended as though he did not hear anything. After a while, he feigned indifference and said, ”Just take anything you need.”
”Oh… Huh?” It took Ling Xiaolu some time before he registered what he said.
”What are you huh-ing about?”
”Really?” Ling Xiaolu was delighted. ”I can really take anything?”
”I've already said it, why are you still talking so much?!”
”Hubby, you're the best!” Ling Xiaolu shouted excitedly.
Ji Meng's expression immediately turned strange. ”What did you call me?”
Ling Xiaolu looked troubled. ”Hubby? Doesn't everyone call you that? You don't like it? Then what should I call you? Ji Papa also doesn't sound nice.”
Ji Meng's face flushed, then whitened, extremely interesting. After a long time, he finally gritted out, ”Whatever!”
”Oh.”
Ji Meng turned around and continued clearing the instance. Before he even took two steps, he turned back and said fiercely, ”You can't use the last one1!”
”…”
With an unlimited inventory, Ji Meng's speed at killing monsters (Ling Xiaolu's speed at picking up items) sped up a lot. In less than fifteen minutes, the two people soon reached the boss of the instance.
The boss was a spider beast. Just as it was about to recite its lines, it got turned into slag by a few strikes of Ji Meng's lightning. This game experience was very poor.
”Go touch it.” Ji Meng motioned at Ling Xiaolu.
Touching the corpse of the boss, Ling Xiaolu got an attribute pill and a pair of underpants that improved agility.
”The pill is for pets, you can't use it for now. Just keep it first.”
”Understood.” Ling Xiaolu stored the pill in his own bag.
Ji Meng remembered that Ling Xiaolu had a track record of eating pet food. ”Don't eat it yourself.”
… I'm going to do it!
He had a huge harvest this instance. Ling Xiaolu thought, after selling everything he collected, he would definitely go purchase a larger inventory.
The two people exited the instance.
”Let's…”
Before the ”go back” left his mouth, Ling Xiaolu saw Ji Meng draw a strange symbol on the entrance to the instance.
”Repeat.” Ji Meng said, and the entrance to the cave flashed. A whirlpool appeared, then it returned to its original appearance.
”What is this?” Ling Xiaolu did not understand.
”Resetting the instance.”
”Why must we reset it?”
”Of course to do it again.”
”Hold on, why are we doing it again?”
”Is this your first time playing a game?”
”Yes!” Ling Xiaolu said self-righteously.
”Who would only do this sort of low level instance once after coming all the way here?”
”Me!” He sounded even more self-righteous.
Knowing that he was a newbie amongst newbies, Ji Meng could only restrain himself and explain, ”Small instances are used to grind for gear.”
”But I already got it.” Ling Xiaolu patted the underpants he had just changed into, extremely satisfied with them.
”The boss would drop different items each time. How many times you repeat the instance, that's the number of items you'll drop. People will try to gain a full set.”
”I don't need a full set, this is enough for me.”
Annoyance could be detected in Ji Meng's voice. ”How is that enough? Only the lower half of you can barely be considered decent, but your upper half is still dressed so shoddily!”
Ling Xiaolu was indignant, ”Why are you looking at my bottom half?! I didn't ask you to look!”
”…”
This was the first time he had decided to charitably bring a new account to clear an instance. At first, this was the scenario Ji Meng had imagined:
Ling Xiaolu, ”Wow! Hubby, you're great! All the monsters here are no compet.i.tion for you!”
Ji Meng, ”Now you know how impressive I am?”
Ling Xiaolu, ”I was wrong to run away immediately from you before. Can you bring me along to do more instances?”
Ji Meng, ”No, I'm tired.”
Ling Xiaolu, ”No, no, it won't be tiring, I'll ma.s.sage your legs~”
Ji Meng, ”Forget it, forget it. I really don't know what to do with you. Fine, we'll do one more instance!”
…
”Hey, hey hey!” Ling Xiaolu saw that Ji Meng had suddenly zoned out, falling silent. He poked at him in incomprehension. ”When are you going to bring me back to the county?”
Ji Meng snapped out from his trance, ruthlessly grabbing Ling Xiaolu's naughty wrist.
… Oh no, this plot seems a little familiar.
Ji Meng's lips quirked up, revealing a threatening sneer. ”Go in!”
Ling Xiaolu was once again dragged forcefully into the instance, feeling upset. He only wanted to distance himself from Ji Meng, why was it so difficult to do so?!
This time, Ji Meng released his pet to fight the monsters. When Ling Xiaolu saw that chubby little thing, he recalled how Ji Meng took its photo. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he decided to take his revenge. Secretly, he activated his camera function, and called out to Ji Meng from behind him. ”Hey, hey!”
As expected, Ji Meng turned his head back bad-temperedly. ”What?!”
Ling Xiaolu blinked furiously, snapping Ji Meng's murderous expression.
”Nothing, I was just calling out randomly.” Ling Xiaolu feigned innocence and shrugged.
Ji Meng could not help but feel suspicious about him, but he could not think of what sort of tricks he could be up to in the dark. As such, he could only pretend that nothing had happened, and continued venting his feelings by killing monsters.
Ling Xiaolu deliberately took a few steps back. He turned on the photo-editing function, selecting the fiercest looking photo, and added two lines underneath.
— I'm going to catch a kid now to go into an instance
— Let me see, who will be the lucky one?
Ling Xiaolu then shared the edited image onto his own social page.
Although I don't have a single fan, I'm still going to blacken his name! Ling Xiaolu gnashed his teeth.
”Why are you so slow again?!” Ji Meng discovered that he was missing again, and had to return to look for him. He could not believe that Ling Xiaolu was able to fill up his unlimited storage!
”No,” Ling Xiaolu swiftly exited his social page. ”We've been grinding for too long, I'm a little tired.”
”You're tired?” Ji Meng strode over, looking at him. ”Want me to ma.s.sage your leg?”
He leaned in closer, so close that Ling Xiaolu could feel his breath on his face. ”I guarantee that your leg will be ma.s.saged broken.”
”… I'm not tired, I'm not tired,” Ling Xiaolu was so frightened he backed up and shook his head. ”I still have the strength to do this instance 10 more times.”
