I'm dizzy from the votes! Tonight, it seems I'm destined for insomnia!
Because tomorrow is the Champion Challenge's individual event, I didn't go online to level up today. Anyway, the main city teleportation function will be activated in two days, so it's not too late to level up then. It's rare to have a chance to relax for two days, and I don't want to make myself too tired. Just as Murong Shanshan said, too much is as bad as too little; there's no need to push so hard in a game.
Suddenly, I remembered Murong Shanshan asking me to treat her to dinner. I took out my phone and was about to dial when I found she had called me first: "Lin Fan, I need to go home tonight, and I'll only rush back tomorrow morning for the competition. So, you won't be able to'slaughter' me for dinner tonight. Treat me another time, no problem?"
I smiled: "Of course, no problem. Isn't your home in the new district? Be careful on your way back."
"Mm."
Murong Shanshan was unusually well-behaved for once, sweetly agreed, and then hung up.
After turning off the computer, I suddenly felt like going for a walk. Xin Yu and Lu Xuehan were busy helping Xu Lin prepare dinner. I said hello and left. It was only 4 o'clock anyway, and everyone had agreed to eat at 7...
The snow had already stopped, and melting ice and snow were everywhere on the streets. The cold evening wind made my skin ache. Looking at the crowds coming and going on the street, I suddenly thought: I wonder if Murong Shanshan wore enough clothes. It would be troublesome if she caught a cold on her way back; she might not even be able to participate in the preliminaries tomorrow.
The sound of someone selling roasted sweet potatoes came from nearby. I turned around and saw a person who looked like a retired worker, nearly 60 years old, calling out to pedestrians in the cold wind. His rough face was a bit red from the cold.
I walked over: "Master, I'll have one, a big one~!"
The old master quickly reached into the stove, pulled out a large sweet potato, weighed it, and said: "Half a catty, I'll just charge you one yuan."
Just then, two girls carrying books walked out of the bookstore behind and immediately gathered around, saying: "Old master, give us two sweet potatoes, the most fragrant ones!"
I looked back and saw that the two girls were also looking at me... "Isn't this..." One girl rubbed her eyes, and the other also looked incredulous.
I was stunned: "What is it? Don't go mistaking people!"
"Yeah, we must have mistaken him. Why would the top expert be out buying sweet potatoes at this time?" The girl in the red shirt pulled the other and said.
"That's true. Master, here's two yuan~" The girl handed over the money, then turned to me and said: "Handsome guy, we're leaving. Sorry about that just now, my classmate mistook you."
"It's fine, it's fine..." I waved my hands repeatedly, watching the backs of the two girls... Damn it, that one with the mole on her nose, I seem to have seen her somewhere?
That's right, it was downstairs at Murong Shanshan's teaching building, her classmate! No wonder she recognized me...
"Young man, are you playing moons constant?" The sweet potato master called out to me.
I was greatly surprised; how did he know?
"You... how do you know?"
"Haha, I can tell by your lack of sleep. While playing games isn't a bad thing, you should still go out and walk around more. If you walk west, not far away is the newly opened Digital Street, which is very suitable for young people like you. Go check it out when you have time."
I nodded. After walking about half a li to the west, there was indeed a new digital plaza, and an event was being held there~
The large electronic screen was playing the opening animation of moons constant, with a large group of young people gathered below, discussing among themselves. After the moons constant opening animation finished, the electronic screen suddenly flashed and showed a video of player PK. I looked closely, and wasn't the person in the deep blue armor me? And opposite me, the MM skillfully retreating while drawing beautiful arcs in the air with her sword energy, was none other than Murong Shanshan! A Thief was hidden in the darkness, and from the bystander's perspective, he could be clearly seen secretly poisoning his dagger. The blue-glowing dagger sent a chill down one's spine.
Isn't this the final we just played at noon?
I didn't expect this video to be broadcast in public so quickly. I quickly looked around; everyone was too focused on the video, so no one was looking at me. Good, safe!
"Brother Yang, Murong Shanshan, that brat, is doing so well now, she can even fight Qing Cai Bai Yu Tang, the second-ranked expert in the country, to a draw?"
A lewd voice came from behind. I turned around and saw a thin man talking to a burly middle-aged man next to him. The middle-aged man's face had a Y-shaped scar.
No, this scar... This middle-aged man is Kuang Zhan!
I never expected to encounter Kuang Zhan here. Looking at his powerful appearance, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. Although Ye Qiu and I used to be known as the 'Black Wind Double Fiends'—punching the Wuzhong Nursing Home and kicking the Suzhou Kindergarten—the few people standing behind Kuang Zhan also seemed to be with him. If a conflict broke out now, I'd probably end up in the hospital for a few days.
"Hmph, I, Yu Yang, will make that little girl kneel and beg me sooner or later. Damn it, that Bai Yu Tang isn't a good person either. I'll settle the score for killing me last time, sooner or later!" The middle-aged man squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Brother Yang, for tomorrow's individual competition, I reckon Murong Shanshan and that Qing Cai will still make it to the finals. In that case, their levels will be even higher, and wouldn't it be even harder for us to get revenge?"
"Hard what hard? Damn it, no matter how high his level is, he's just one person. If we bring more people, I don't believe we can't hack him to death!"
"Boss is right! By the way, how is your cousin's injury?"
"He's still lying in the hospital. He'll probably be crippled when he gets out. That kid is useless. You said just drug Murong Shanshan, wouldn't that be enough? Damn it, he had to force it, and that fierce woman beat him into that state. Isn't that shameful?"
"Mm, Brother Yang, we'll enter the main city in two days. Didn't you gather hundreds of brothers to join a powerful guild? I mean, who is the boss of that guild? He must be very fierce, right?"
Kuang Zhan chuckled and said: "Don't worry, can't you trust someone I call 'Big Brother'? What's Murong Shanshan? My Big Brother can deal with her in ten seconds, do you believe it?"
"Ah, Boss's boss is so amazing! Haha, from now on, we won't have to suffer Murong Shanshan's temper anymore!"
...I shook my head and turned to leave this dangerous place. Kuang Zhan and his group behind me were still laughing loudly.
Someone who can deal with Murong Shanshan in ten seconds?
He's probably not even born yet, Kuang Zhan, that idiot.
