“Cough—cough! Cough...”
Qin Huai choked on a mouthful of hot soup, his handsome face turning red from the intense coughing. He immediately dropped the spoon and hurriedly closed the video interface.
The video screen froze on a piece of meat from a White Flower.
“Cough—damn knife, how could it... cough—”
“Cough! Miss, I didn’t mean for you to see that, really—it's the knife, um, my friend, he seems to have misunderstood me. What was on the video just now was...”
Yan Yan: Expressionless.jpg
The girl remained expressionless, silently watching him throughout.
His awkward gaze had nowhere to land.
His pink ears were flushed with embarrassment.
“Did you hire someone to do this?”
Revenge Money Double Heart and Qian Beirong were part of her plan, which she hadn’t shared with anyone.
“Well, last time at S Institute, your expression when facing her didn’t seem like it was just because she slapped your sister. And back at the entrance of the instance, your first choice was to eliminate her instantly. I thought maybe you had some old grievances with her, and since a friend happened to receive a mission, it just happened to work out... cough...”
“Why?”
In Yan Yan's dark, bright eyes, there was confusion, surprise, and deeper still, a sense of helplessness.
Meeting such a gaze, Qin Huai felt a pang in his heart, softening him. He sighed and said, "Silly girl, all I seek is your happiness."
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened in shock.
Clearly, their first encounter had been as strangers, then as enemies. The subsequent entanglements should not have evoked such emotions from her. She had always feared that his ulterior motives were her deepest concern. Now, as his straightforwardness lay bare before her, there was no joy—only a heavy sense of dread.
What right did someone like her, who had clawed her way out of hell, drenched in blood, have to offer anything to this seemingly charming yet unexpectedly pure-hearted person?
Lowering her gaze, she stiffened, her body rigid.
Seeing her like this, Qin Huai stood up. In the cramped basement, his tall frame felt even more confined. "The first time I bumped into you," he began, gesturing to indicate her small stature up to his chest height, "you were holding the Courage Longbow. At that moment, I thought—everyone else on the leaderboard with a bow I recognized except for that mysterious person who was the first to leave the village. I figured it must be you. Well, it was quite a surprise."
He paused for a moment before his expression shifted to one of caution. "The second time we met was at the entrance of our instance. The sparks were flying back then—"
"So the matter with the Golden Treasure Chest and the Slime of the Snail was eaten by a dog, right?"
"Uh—"
Scratching his head, the usually composed Rascal now appeared anxious. "Yeah, it was eaten by a dog. I ate it."
"Pfft—"
Unable to hold back her laughter, Yan Yan pressed her lips together, trying hard to maintain an expressionless demeanor.
"Ah—you're smiling! I'll take that as you admitting I've won," he teased.
"With someone ready to be a dog, if I don't give in, wouldn't that be too cruel?"
"Come with me to the area—" As soon as she heard the mention of the zone, the girl's eyes darkened. "No need," she paused for a moment, "if you had come just a bit later, I would have already left the D Zone."
Pulling out the Light Screen, the identity verification for the S Zone revealed the girl before him.
Recalling her recent windfall of millions, Qin Huai nodded, not probing further. He shifted the topic, saying, "The Merge Area is coming up soon."
Yan Yan calmly glanced at him and nodded. She picked up the spoon that had been tossed on the table and cradled the fish soup, taking a sip.
"The spoon—"
Her muted voice abruptly stopped. The clarity in her peach blossom eyes shone brightly. "Cough cough, if you drink it all, I'll be leaving first."
"Wait—"
"Hmm?"
The tips of her ears remained flushed with a rosy hue.
“Old Steed in the Stable There’s definitely no time to deal with the dungeon right now. It would be a waste to let the Magic Resistance Buff from the Elven Pool Dungeon go to waste. If we log in within half an hour, we still have fifteen minutes left. Let’s go in and clear it, then we can work on Level.”
As expected, Beichuan would surely come looking for her soon, and what followed would require Level.
She had gained half a Level in the Abyss Level Elf Pool Dungeon. A trip to the Simple Level should easily get her to level 4.
“Alright, see you in the game.”
She set down her spoon and watched as the other person hurriedly left, a faint smile curving her lips.
The coldness in her stomach began to warm up with the comforting fish soup, spreading warmth through her limbs as if she had been bathed in warm water, making her feel entirely cozy.
After tidying up, she put on her Game Helmet and entered the game.
There were still 16 minutes left for the Elven Pool Dungeon Magic Resistance Buff.
Without hesitation, they entered the Simple Level difficulty.
With just a minute to spare, they exhausted all their Special Items, finally taking down five Bss. Unfortunately, they hadn’t cleared any monsters along the way or followed a proper route; they simply took the shortest path and pushed through all the Bss. As a result, they didn’t achieve any dungeon accomplishments.
However, both of their Levels had increased by 4 levels, and they had nearly completed a full set of dungeon gear.
Just as they stepped out of the dungeon, a message from the Information Broker popped up.
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: You made your own bed, now lie in it!
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: The Beichuan President has set a mission at our Reincarnation Shop to ruin our reputation! Why aren't you back to handle this?
As expected.
Yan Yan put away her Ink Longbow, tilted her head slightly, and said, “Beichuan is currently looking for someone to take on Bss at the Stormbird Nest. Are you going?”
“Are you going?”
Qin Huai raised an eyebrow and asked.
She nodded.
“Let’s go~ It’s a good chance to see what the third Guild Establishment Order looks like.”
“You know about it?”
This time she was genuinely surprised.
“The movements at the Auction House, followed by the performance in the dungeon, isn’t it just the news about the Guild Establishment Order that Beichuan has? It’s understandable that they’re anxious,” he said, blinking as he stared intently into the girl’s dark eyes. “Isn’t it true that when they initially agreed to help raise the price at the Auction House, you would hand over the Misinformation to them instead of choosing Old Steed in the Stable?”
“No way. Even if they had agreed back then, I wouldn’t have considered it. Besides, Jiang Wulang did a fantastic job with the price-raising task.”
"Turns out, at that time, Huo Suixin was not alone."
"Sui Xin was with Sister Amiao."
"The one from the Zhang Family?"
"Yes."
Beichuan was a person whose rationality surpassed emotions, skilled in calculations and deeply unfathomable.
In contrast, Old Steed in the Stable valued emotions over reason. He appeared cold and tough, but in reality, he was more loyal and righteous than anyone else. With his iron will and straightforward nature, entrusting Misinformation to him temporarily was the best choice.
Reincarnation Shop.
Mission Provider: Beichuan
Mission Content: Secure the Stormbird Nest within two hours.
Mission Reward: One hundred thousand.
"Hey there, my dear! You finally made it—" The Information Broker directly threw the Quest Interface in front of her. "A level thirty-five Stormbird Nest?! The highest player level right now is only five, that's a full ten levels difference. How do you plan to handle this, huh?" (To be continued.)
