Chapter 149: Fish balls and thick noodles


    Ling Xue revealed a faint smile and pulled Jiangnan Small Bridge''s as she said to me, "This is my ssmate that I room with. We all call her Xiao Qiao, so Bookworm, you can call her the same!"


    "Oh, hello beauty Xiao Qiao!"


    It was a good thing that in front of outsiders, Ling Xue never called me "little fool". Comparing it, it was better to call me Bookworm.


    Jiangnan Small Bridge was a slender girl wearing a pink mage robe that had a split in it, just like a qipao. It had a very Jiangnan style to it, so her name was very appropriate. She looked at me and asked with a smile, "Bookworm is a Spirit of Grief celebrity, it really is my honour being able to meet you. That, can this little girl shake your hand?"


    I was surprised as I looked at Ling Xue. Ling Xue''s eyes were filled with killing intent as she said in a low voice, "You can decide yourself!"


    I hesitated a bit, but Jiangnan Small Bridge reached her hand out to me with a smile on her face.


    In the end, I hesitantly took her hand and gave a quick shake before letting go. I looked over, but I saw Ling Xue''s angry expression.


    I immediately pulled my hand back and Ling Xue kept introducing the others, "This is one of the two gaming masters of our university and the one who has done the best Spirit of Grief out of among our ssmates, Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance. I''ve already forgotten what his name is"


    Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance was filled with awkwardness, but he still nodded to me and said, "Hello."


    I also nodded, "Hello"


    Ling Xue looked at the other two boys and said to me, "These two berserkersUn, they are noobs, so I can''t remember their names. You can just look at their in game names. I''m already dying from hunger, let''s log off and get something to eat!"


    The two berserkers wanted to die, wanting to m their heads into their axes. Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance quickly stopped them, "Brothers, think it through"


    Everyone noticed the little green ball floating on Ling Xue''s shoulder which was the Wind Spirit Beast!


    Normally speaking, girls didn''t have any resistance to these kinds of cute things. Xiao Qiao''s eyes immediately lit up as she said, "Xiao Xue, what is this! It''s so cute!"


    Ling Xue said, "This is the pet that I just got! It''s very powerful, it''s a Heavenly Grade Pet!"


    "What? Heavenly Grade Pet!?" Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance was shocked.


    Xiao Qiao came forward and reached out to pet the Wind Spirit Beast''s head, "Let big sister touch you."


    The Wind Spirit Beast didn''t y along and flew around, not letting Xiao Qiao touch it.


    I said from the said, "Watermelon, let her touch you. We should log off to eat"


    Xi Xi didn''t y along and finally after Ling Xue agreed, it let Xiao Qiao touch it for a bit.


    Ling Xue and I were about to log off.


    Jiangnan Small Bridge pulled on Ling Xue and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, we haven''t met in a long time, why are you going back to school? Let''s go get drunk together. Also, Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance and the other high level male ssmates haven''t seen you in a while. How about we find some time to get together, we''re also nning on joining the Xue Yue Guild!"


    Ling Xue said with a smile, "It''s fine to join Xue Yue, but I have to see about things like getting together for meals. I''m a very busy person right now"


    Xiao Qiao said, "I don''t care, just wait for my call and we''ll set up a date to go out!"


    "Oh, alright!" Ling Xue could only reply in a helpless voice.


    I suddenly noticed that Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance was still staring at me and he had been doing this for a long time.


    Xiao Qiao immediately tapped Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance and said, "Handsome brother Spring and Autumn? Why are you looking at Bookworm for? Could it be that you''re jealous of how handsome he is? Or are you jealous of something else?"


    Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance wasn''t moved by this. After staring at me for a bit, he said in a surprised voice, "Are youTang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties!?


    I was surprised. Sinceing to Suzhou five years ago, I had been working very hard and had done many jobs. I was no longer the immature young man from before, so how could I be recognized?


    "Youmust have recognized the wrong person!"


    Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance was doubtful, "How is that possible? I''ve seen you in the country wars before. Although your face has changed, your aura hasn''t really changed"


    Ling Xue was surprised before turning to look at me, "Little fool, who is Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties? I seemed to have heard big sister Bing Cha mention it before"


    I couldn''t hide the truth, so I said with a nod, "It was my past online name"


    Ling Xue was pleasantly surprised, "Ya, so you and ssmate Spring and Autumn were online friends!"


    I couldn''t help being speechless. Online friends, isn''t this word too insulting to me? Why did I feel that the words "online friend" and "hookup" were linked


    After receiving this confirmation from me, Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance revealed a passionate look as he said whileughing, "It really is you! It really is you! Ha, ha, the brilliance five years ago, the leaders all retiring one after another. Lin Fan faded away, there''s no news on Ye Qiu, and Sword and Rose and Lost Paradise haven''t appeared in Spirit of Grief! Ha, ha, I never thought that Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties would be here! Great! Great!"


    Ling Xue immediately red at him and said, "Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance! What are you so excited for? Could it be that you have a crush on Bookworm?"


    Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance was filled with excitement as he exined, "Ling Xue, you don''t know, you really don''t know, this online name for us Chinese yers, it''s something that we..worship! Really!"


    Ling Xue was speechless. She gave some gold coins to Xiao Qiao and then turned to me to say, "I''m hungry"


    I immediately said, "Alright, I''ll take you out to eat!"


    "Un."


    I immediately turned to say to Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance and Jiangnan Small Bridge''s group, "Ling Xue and I haven''t eaten all day, so let''s talk next time!"


    Spring and Autumn Chaotic Dance had still wanted to say something, but he felt too awkward to keep us here. Jiangnan Small Bridge waved her hand with a smile as Ling Xue and I logged off.


    After taking off the helmets, I stretched myself out. After ying for an entire day, my body really was sore!


    After going into the living room, I saw Ling Xue alsoe out. She was wearing a green dress that made her look very refreshing. The chest wrapped around those twin peaks and revealed those snow white legs beneath, which was too dazzling to look at. As expected, a beauty could wear anything and instantly kill people.


    Ling Xue red at me, "Stop looking and let''s go downstairs!"


    "Oh, alright!"


    After quicklying down, we looked around and found that the ce we normally ate at was filled with people, while also being slow to serve them. There were only unhealthy fast food restaurants around, so Ling Xue said, "How about we go to the noodle restaurant around the corner?"


    I nodded, "Alright, it''s your treat anyway."


    Ling Xue snappily said, "It''s my treat that we''re eating noodles"


    So the two of us ran to the noodle restaurant.


    The owner was an old man who came over with a menu in his hand, "What do the two of you want?"


    Ling Xue said, "I''ll trouble you for a bowl of fish balls and thick noodles."


    "There are no thick noodles!"


    "Is that so? Then one bowl of fish balls and rice noodles!"


    "There are no fish balls!"


    "Is that so? Then a bowl of cuttlefish balls and thick noodles!"


    "There are no thick noodles!"


    "......"


    I was stunned hearing this. How familiar this dialogue was, but Ling Xue was already lying on the table with a smile as she waved her snow white hands and said to the boss, "Two bowls of ramen with braised beef, quickly! Don''t tell me that you don''t have ramen"


    "Yes, yes!" The boss yed along and ran off.


    Not long after, two steaming bowls of ramen were carried out. I broke a pair of chopsticks for Ling Xue and then started scarfing down my food. In less than a few minutes, the bowl of ramen was finished and the soup was all gone. I almost even swallowed the bowl. Looking at Ling Xue, I found that she had only finished half of her food at a leisurely rate.


    Ling Xue looked at me, "Good fellow, you really can eat..Un, you''re hard to support!"


    I revealed an indignant look, "It should be me supporting you, why are you supporting me?"


    Ling Xue narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Che! I never thought that you were a chauvinist, I really look down on you~~"


    I was looked down on over a bowl of noodles, so I was very speechless. I raised my hand and vented my anger by saying, "Boss, give me another bowl!"


    After finishing off three bowls, I gave a burp and looked at the empty bowl as I said, "This bowl is too small"


    Ling Xue was very speechless. At this time, the boss came over with the bill.


    In the end, Ling Xue touched her pocket and revealed a stunned look.


    My heart skipped a beat, "Hey, don''t tell me that you didn''t bring money!"


    Ling Xue revealed an innocent look and gave a serious nod, "That''s right"


    I was starting to feel restless as I touched my own pockets. I left my wallet on my bed. It''s over, I only had a few yuan, but the price for these four bowls was actually forty yuan!


    There was no other choice, I could only stare at Ling Xue.


    "What do we do?"


    "I don''t know!" Ling Xue gracefully wiped her mouth before looking at the table to see a ck brick. It was my backwater phone!


    I felt a chill, "It can''t be that youwant me to leave my phone here, right?"


    Ling Xue said with a smile, "How could that be? I won''t force you. You can either stay here or leave your phone here, it''s your choice~"


    In the end, the boss carefully looked at the phone and said, "Is this even worth forty yuan?"


    I wanted to die, this really was embarrassing!


    Ling Xue pulled me out of the noodle restaurant as she said with a happy smile, "Hey! That phone is so old that even people from the mountains don''t want it, so how about you just give it up? I heard that those phones have strong radiation, so how about I buy you a better one?"


    I said, "Whether it''s an old phone or not, my SIM card is in there and it has your number."


    "Oh, then we have to get it back. Let''s go get the money now ande back right away!"


    "Un!"


    So the two who had just finished ran back to the studio and ran back to the noodle restaurant after getting some money. They found the boss sitting there ying a game on the phone, looking quite happy.


    After getting back my phone, it was already past ten.


    It was dark with a clear moonlight. Under the street lights, there was a silver glow on Ling Xue''s beautiful face. When I took a look, I couldn''t help being shocked as if I would fall down after a second nce.


    Ling Xue looked at me and said with a smile, "Little fool, we still haven''t reported our harvest today to big sister yet!"


    "It''s fine, when you go to sleep, you can tell Ling Yue."


    "Un!" Ling Xue said with a faint smile, "I want to reach level 55 in three days. I wasn''t that confident about the King''s Returnpetition, but after I equip the Thunderp Sword, I believe that any swordsman at the same level will find it hard to fight me!"


    I nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, the King''s Return''s rewards are too good! I also didn''t n on taking the championship, but with Ling Xue''s powerful equipment and the Profound Ice Sword Energy and the Water Moon sh skills that no one else has, I believe that getting the championship isn''t impossible."


    Ling Xue blinked and asked, "Then, which five members of our studio do you want to go?"


    I thought for a bit before saying, "You, me, and Ling Yue, all three of us have strong damage, so we have to be there. We need a healer, so naturally Qin Yun. As for the remaining spot, the stronger the better, but the people in the studioUn, Bing Cha is a warrior and we don''t need anymore of them, Quiet Rain Fall''s equipment are a bitcking, Summer is too nooby, Zi Yue''s equipment are considered alright and we''recking an assassin to hide in the shadows"


    "Oh? So you want Zi Yue to join us?"


    "Un, it''s just the most appropriate, but Zi Yue''s intelligenceAi, every time I see her, I feel like my intelligence is increasing"


    Ling Xue nodded, "Me too"


    After saying this, the two of them smiled at each other. Ling Xue stretched out her slender waist and said, "Let''s go back and sleep early today. We''ll get up early tomorrow to level, I want to reach level 55 as soon as possible!"


    "Un, alright!"


    When we returned to the studio, the girls still hadn''t logged off. It was a rare chance that I slept before they did. When I got back to my room, I logged onto the web and leaned in my bed. The lights of the city dimmed and looking at the stars in the night, I quickly fell asleep.


    The next morning.


    "Dong, dong!"


    With the knocking on the door, I heard Zi Yue''s voice, "Big brother Bookworm, wake up!"


    I stood up and put on my clothes. After washing up, I found Ling Xue and the othersing out of their rooms.


    Breakfast was very simple, it was bread with some cabbage in them. I was very confused why it was bread with cabbage and not fried dough sticks, but Qin Yun prepared breakfast and it was most likely the lifestyle she was used to.


    After it was prepared, Qin Yun sat down beside me and asked with a smile, "Is it tasty?"


    Biting into the cabbage, my face twitched as I forced it down, "It''s tasty"


    Qin Yun was very happy as she said with a smile, "That''s good!"


    I looked up to find the sisters Ling Xue and Ling Yue each with a piece of bread in hand looking at me.


    I asked, "Ling Yue, you logged off thattest night, what level are you now?"


    Ling Yue said, "Level 57. I should be able to reach level 60 in less than three days, but there are people faster than me. I estimate that before 12 today, a foreign maniac will reach level 60. Starting tomorrow, the two main cities of the Chinese Server should be open!"


    I nodded and said with a smile, "That''s also good. We''ve already gone to all of the leveling maps in Sunset City and even the White Bone Wilderness that no one else has gone to has been finished by us. All the resources of Sunset City has already been opened, so going to the main city early to build the foundations of the guild is a good thing."


    Ling Yue revealed a smile, "Un, but I think that the urgent matter isn''t to build the foundations of the guild, but rather get the championship of the King''s Returnpetition. We have to get the championship, this is rted to the might and prestige of Xue Yue! Bookworm, we have to work hard on leveling over the next few days!"


    Ling Xue said, "I''ll level with big sister today, what about you guys?"


    Bing Cha and the other girls wanted to party to level. I said, "I won''t party today. After breakfast, I''ll go and wander around the Dead Wood Coast."


    Ling Yue gave a nod, "Un!"
