Mu Lingxue sat on the sofa, preoccupied with her thoughts, while Chen Wei next to her watched the melodrama on TV with a smile.
"Weiwei, I'm so worried and yet you can still laugh."
"Not answering the phone either, who knows what could have happened by now."
Seeing Mu Lingxue's anxious expression, Chen Wei suggested:
"Why not play some games? Right now is when all the major guilds are recruiting, we can take advantage of the first kill fame to bring in some new players."
Chen Wei suddenly picked up her phone, which displayed a message, then glanced at the door behind her and handed the phone to Mu Lingxue to see,
"Look, the funds have arrived."
Although she should have been happy, Mu Lingxue showed no interest whatsoever,
"Could you please handle this for me, Weiwei? I'm really not in the mood right now."
Seeing this, Chen Wei could only shake her head helplessly,
"Then you wait here, I'll go into the game to handle the guild building matters."
"Thanks so much, Weiwei!"
Chen Wei affectionately tapped Mu Lingxue on the forehead,
"If you know how hard I'm working, then come help me."
Mu Lingxue covered the spot where she was tapped, grinning,
"I'll get on the game once Xinying comes back."
"Then I'm going up."
"Alright."
Right after Chen Wei left, Zhang Xinying walked in with a paper bag, smiling.
Mu Lingxue immediately jumped three feet high from the sofa,
"Xinying, you're back!"
Mu Lingxue then noticed what Zhang Xinying was holding and her eyes lit up,
"Shark fin rice from Yuding Ji!"
Without giving Zhang Xinying any chance to speak, she excitedly hugged her:
"You're the best, Xinying! All that worrying about you wasn't for nothing!"
Just as Mu Lingxue was about to take the takeout bag, she noticed Zhang Xinying smiling awkwardly.
Mu Lingxue seemed to sense something,
"No way, Xinying, is this not for me?"
But then she remembered she'd just eaten not long ago, so she didn't mind.
"Whatever, I'm on a diet, it's just as well it isn't for me."
Seeing Mu Lingxue act this way, Zhang Xinying felt a bit guilty,
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xue."
"It's fine, we're best friends, aren't we?"
"Really no hard feelings?"
Mu Lingxue acted magnanimous,
"Of course! Do I, Mu Lingxue, look like someone petty?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xinying said,
"Then did you see Lin, oh no, Yi Ling come back?"
Silence!
"What do you mean?"
Mu Lingxue was dumbfounded, staring at her best friend,
"What did you say? Say that again!"
Zhang Xinying shoved the takeout bag into Mu Lingxue's hands,
"Take this to him for me, thanks a lot, hehe~"
"Snap!"
At that moment, Mu Lingxue seemed to hear something break in her chest.
.........
"Bang bang bang!"
Lin Yi, who was just about to enter the game, suddenly heard someone banging on the door angrily,
"Yi Ling, you bastard, get out here."
Lin Yi was completely confused, who had she offended now?
When Lin Yi opened the door, she saw Mu Lingxue handing over a paper bag angrily and then storming off, muttering:
"The type who ditches friends for romance, hmph!"
"Uh, this~"
Looking at the shark fin rice that still had some warmth, Lin Yi was stunned.
Lin Yi certainly didn't think Mu Lingxue bought this for her.
In this house, it seemed there was only one person who would buy her food.
Looking at that tightly shut door, she probably hadn't discovered her true identity, right?
"No way."
Lin Yi shook her head, she had hidden her face both times, how could she possibly have guessed it was her?
And she got this for herself probably as a thank you for saving her.
Lin Yi smiled wryly, turned around to close the door, and opened the delicate takeout box.
Immediately, a rich aroma filled the air.
"Gurgle~"
Lin Yi only now realized that it was already five o'clock and she hadn't eaten since morning.
Lightly laughing as she picked up the spoon nearby, this might have been Lin Yi's most delicious meal in years (before her rebirth).
.........
Sitting upright at the dressing table, within less than half a day, the reflection in the mirror showed a self with an additional captivating smile compared to half a day earlier.
Zhang Xinying opened a drawer and took out all the cosmetics she'd thrown in there one by one, arranging them while talking to herself:
"You think covering your face would prevent me from recognizing you? Silly!"
Some things can be felt even without seeing them, like that unique aura that belongs to you.
Although he didn't know what exactly had happened to him, those things were irrelevant to Zhang Xinying.
As long as he is him, that's enough.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the smile on Zhang Xinying's face gradually faded,
"Lin Yi, I find I still can't stay away from you."
.........
After having a heartwarming meal, Lin Yi stretched his muscles a bit.
Seeing the empty wardrobe, he thought that when he logs out of the game tonight, he'd need to buy some daily necessities and a change of clothes,
When Lin Yi entered the game, he was unaware of the uproar on the game forum due to the raid's first kill.
In short, they were divided into two points.
One point was the introduction of the dungeon mechanism, which was the key to Lin Yi's first kill, sparking heated discussions among many netizens.
While everyone thought Lin Yi got the first kill through sheer skill, they couldn't have imagined such a mechanism existed, allowing him to exploit it.
The ones most enraged by this, of course, were the few major guilds. After all, while they were fighting tooth and nail in the dungeon, Lin Yi seemed to be "touring the mountains" and easily snagged the first kill rewards they desperately wanted.
We'll discuss this matter later. The other hot topic was about the final ownership of the guild creation order.
Almost everyone was guessing who Feng Hua's guild creation order would go to.
And which guild will become the first to establish a guild base in "Glory of the Gods".
The ones with the highest expectations, of course, were Shengshi Dynasty, followed by the drop-dead gorgeous Famous Clan and Xia Haitang's Ice and Snow Illusion City.
After all, these two people were the ones who did the raid with Lin Yi and got the first kill. It's not impossible for Lin Yi to prioritize selling the guild creation order to them.
Lin Yi had just come online when he was bombarded with messages.
There weren't many people in Lin Yi's contacts list to begin with.
When he opened it up, the one with the most messages was drop-dead gorgeous.
Next was Xia Haitang, and although their messages varied, their main focus was the same:
The ownership of the guild creation order!
Just then, a voice call request came from drop-dead gorgeous.
When Lin Yi picked up, he heard drop-dead gorgeous excitedly saying:
"Feng bro, you finally came online, you almost killed me from the wait."
Lin Yi, pretending not to know, smiled and asked:
"What's up?"
Drop-dead gorgeous knew Lin Yi was teasing him. After all, with so many messages, Lin Yi couldn't possibly have missed them.
So drop-dead gorgeous got straight to the point:
"Name your price for the guild creation order."
But much to drop-dead gorgeous's surprise, Lin Yi flatly refused:
"I can't give you this guild creation order."
Drop-dead gorgeous was a bit surprised,
"Can I ask why?"
He couldn't help but add:
"Whatever they offer you, I can top it until you're satisfied."
Lin Yi shook his head with a smile,
"It's not about the money."
Lin Yi took out the guild creation order made with special materials from his backpack,
"Right now, this thing is a hot cake for some people, but for Famous Clan it's a hot potato, it's not worth spending the money on it."
As he spoke, a subtle and intriguing smile appeared on Lin Yi's face,
"Besides, I know someone who needs it more than you do."
Since the game launched, drop-dead gorgeous has had quite a bit of respect for Feng Hua.
Since Lin Yi said so, drop-dead gorgeous didn't insist,
"If that's the case, I'll go take up a hidden profession first then."
"Wait."
Drop-dead gorgeous:
"Is there something else?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment,
"I want you to do something for me."
Outside Cyan Dragon City, upon hearing Lin Yi's request, drop-dead gorgeous got energized.
Gaining favor from Feng Hua was far more valuable than any guild creation order, at least to drop-dead gorgeous.
Without much hesitation, he said:
"Feng bro, tell me what you need me to do."
After hearing Feng Hua's instructions, drop-dead gorgeous patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, you can count on me for this task."
After hanging up, drop-dead gorgeous found Famous Clan I Won't Cry in his contacts,
"Drop everything and go do something for me, you must go personally!"
......
Just after finishing the call with drop-dead gorgeous, Lin Yi clicked on Proud Gaze Lord's avatar in his contacts, where there was a message:
Proud Gaze Lord
3019/09/02 13:41
Congratulations, my brother! Congrats on getting the first kill of the dungeon!
Seeing this message left Lin Yi a bit surprised.
He hadn't mentioned the guild creation order matter at all, and an average person might think he didn't care about it.
But is that really the case?
Lin Yi sent a voice call request to him, and soon Proud Gaze Lord answered,
"Congratulations, Feng Hua my brother, I knew the first kill could only go to you."
This old fox!
Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:
"One billion, the guild creation order is yours."
