Chapter 704: Finding a way to live

Night, second floor, I ate with Lin Xi and Ruyi.

“I saw Shen Mingxuan.”

I raised my head and looked at them, “She said that she was going on a date with a handsome guy. She is going for dinner and movies. Is that real? Who has so much charm to be able to get her out?”

“Don’t know.”

Lin Xi shook her head, “She didn’t tell me, weird...”

Ruyi licked her lips and blinked, “Would it be Dawn, that Song Yan?”

“Shouldn’t be...”

Lin Xi frowned, “Mingxuan kept saying that she doesn’t feel much for Song Yan and he doesn’t attract her at all. She likes those that don’t think she is special and those that do not take special care of her.”

“Is she a masochist?”

I laughed, “But Song Yan really takes good care of her and is willing to do everything for her. From how he looks at her we can tell that he really likes her.”

“En.”

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, “I can also tell but love is two way, it is not a one way street.”

“Right.”

Gu Ruyi smiled, “I have been telling Mingxuan to find someone she really likes and if that person likes her then they will get together. She must not settle.”

I stared at her, “Ruyi you are so pretty and your chest is so big, you do have the rights to say that.”

“What!”

Gu Ruyi’s face flushed red, “I am not talking to you, eat!”

Lin Xi smiled.

I bit onto the mantou and said, “Mingxuan won’t be leveling with you all so I will come along, let’s crush everybody.”

“Really?”

Lin Xi and Ruyi raised their heads in surprise.

“En.”

I nodded, “Dragon Region’s building work is nearly done and they don’t really need me next. Moreover, I have been spending time alone and didn’t accompany all of you. Since Mingxuan is not here, there is no one to quarrel with so I can accompany you all to have fun and get points. Is there any good spots?”

“There is!”

Lin Xi smiled, “Eat quickly and then let’s go online to have fun!”

“Great---”

......

After eating, each person had a cup of orange juice and then we went online.

“Shua!”

I appeared in Dragon Region and from afar, there were rows of Dragon Region soldiers that were training in the snow. At the north of Dragon Valley, many of them were standing beneath the dragon pillars to absorb dragon energy to merge into their bodies. As for within the dragon pillars, there were many dragon crystals. These were crystals that came from the corpses of dragons and had large amounts of dragon energy. This was also the main source of the Dragon Region army’s dragon energy.

One could say that without these crystals, Dragon Region soldiers couldn’t cultivate Fire Dragon Stab, Dragon Defence Pillar, Ice Dragon Wing etc skills. If they lacked the source power, they wouldn’t be able to train decent skills.

But my goal wasn’t Dragon Region but to spend time with Lin Xi and Ruyi so I used a Winter Sun City return scroll and in the next moment, I was in Winter Sun City. I repaired my equipment and bought up large amounts of energy potions before waiting at the gate. Not long later, Lin Xi and Ruyi came back side by side.

“Is the location far?” I asked.

“Outside the north wall.”

“Okay, you ride the White Deer and bring Ruyi, I will run after.”

Not long later, the cavalries galloped over. Ruyi and I went all out. Along with Lin Xi’s Ancient TOtem and Sword Tempest, the forest was covered in our skills. Many Fire Spirit Cavalries fell and turned into experience and merit points. The merit point notifications from the system didn’t stop at all.

......

An hour passed quickly and we had attracted a total of 7 waves. Lin Xi looked at the data and smiled, “If I am right, we got around 670 thousand points, so good---”

Ruyi was in bliss, “Close to 700 thousand an hour. If we just stay here and continue, at 12 we would get 4 million, so much!”

“Happy right?”

Lin Xi smiled, “Continue, let’s try to get the Country Protecting General soon enough!”

“Wishful thinking...”

I dissed, “We need at least 15 billion points to get there, even if we earn 10 million a day that would take 1500 days. How many years is that?’

Lin Xi was stunned, “Won’t that... Be forever?”

“That might not be.”

I laughed, “mid and late game quests and events would have extra rewards. The monsters would also drop more points. If we go all out, we would get 20 million a day. Along with various rewards, that time can be shortened. But even then, if would take at least half a year to get there. To get Commander in Chief or Marshal, the time would be even longer.”

“Hearing you say that, it really feels so far away...” Ruyi smiled.

“No worries, take our time.”

I smiled, “We will have a long time together.”

Ruyi seemed a little sad and she looked at us, “Sometimes I just want to play games with all of you for my entire life, although I know it is tough.”

“That might not be.”

Lin Xi smiled, “You must be confident. Once we solve our life issues and have enough money, we can decide the life that we want to live.”

“En!”

Ruyi nodded, “Find a way to live and then find a way to love!”

“Who did Ruyi learn that from...” I dissed.

Lin Xi said, “Most probably from some show...”

Ruyi’s face flushed red, “Actually I don’t know where.”

“continue continue, I will go draw the monsters.”

Lin Xi dashed forwards.

......

I was hunting until 10pm. Maybe I drank too much so I went offline to pee.

When I came out from the washroom, the lift opened and Mingxuan walked out. She smiled at me, “Hi, With You’s top handsome, I brought you some milk tea. Will you drink it?”

“Of course, hand it over!”

When I took it, I saw that the area on her right cheek near to her ear was slightly red. I asked, “What happened to your face?”

“No... Nothing?” She turned her head anxiously.

“You were hit?!”

I held her shoulder, “Don’t move, let me see.”

“Lu Li...”

Her eyes turned red and she didn’t dare to have eye contact with me.
