Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 149 Lin Qingying's Gift (Bonus Chapter 30)

"What price? Oh my god, you scared your dad to death!" The fat man suddenly appeared in a sarcastic tone.

Immediately afterwards, Kou Mei's starry sky also began to twinkle: "We're all players, but why are some people so mean?"

"Little sister, you don't know this..."

An anonymous bystander commented: "One Slash to the Soul's real name is Huang Jinbo, from Yangzhou. He's never been a good person. It's said he owns a few foot massage parlors, the shady kind. People like him are only interested in bullying others and would never consider themselves part of the player community."

"really……"

Another bystander commented, "Some people are selfish by nature, and a fatal blow is a typical example of that!"

Suddenly, the Star Chart became lively, with many players who had been bullied by Ragnarok coming out to hurl insults and criticisms.

……

After a long silence, I finally spoke: "A single strike can kill. There's no point in talking tough. I'm making this clear today: from today onwards, whenever I go out into the wilderness map, if I see anyone with the words 'Ragnarok' above their head, I will shoot them dead without hesitation!"

Immediately, a commotion broke out within the star map, and many people were dumbfounded.

I continued, "Alliance Leader Long is right. We players are a vulnerable group in Star Abyss. We should unite instead of fighting each other for resources. Since your Ragnarok Guild is so unjust, don't blame us for being unjust. I hope all friends of the Ragnarok Guild will leave the alliance, or I will definitely keep my word!"

"Ding Han!"

The top liberal arts student from Zu'an roared, "Are you fucking threatening Ragnarok?"

"More than just a threat."

I said calmly, "If you were in front of me, I would have cut you down with a single sword strike without hesitation."

"Hahahaha~~~"

One onlooker laughed and said, "Damn, I love the domineering spirit of Boss Zhuying. What bullshit 'one-hit kill' and 'Ragnarok'? They're just a bunch of bullies who rely on their power. The player culture in 'Star Abyss' needs to be straightened out a long time ago. I unconditionally support Boss Zhuying. If we really have to go to war with Ragnarok, count me in!"

"That's right, count me in too!"

More busybodies raised their hands.

"And I!"

"I!"

"Count me in!"

The stars twinkled, and in the blink of an eye, more than three hundred players had appeared on the star map of Huaining City. It was terrifying!

"One strike to the soul, you should think it over."

I said calmly, "Brothers, let's go. There's no need to waste experience points here."

"go!"

Everyone logged off from the star map.

……

"drop!"

A WeChat message from Milo: "Han'er, is tomorrow your birthday?"

"Ah."

I replied, "How did you know?"

"I heard what others said."

Milo said, "I'll be busy with album work tomorrow and won't be able to go to Huaining. I wish you a happy birthday in advance! Be sure to have a good time and eat well!"

"Yeah, thanks a lot. You too! I wish you great success and hope you'll sign an autograph for me sometime!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Milo went about his business.

"drop!"

Another WeChat message, this time from Lu Xiaobei: "Ding Han, I can't celebrate your birthday with you tomorrow. When I got back to BH City, Lao Lu locked me up at home, saying I should reflect on my actions."

"Pitiful……"

I sent a laughing emoji: "How did you know it was my birthday? Did Milo tell you?"

Do I need someone else to tell me?

Lu Xiaobei sent a bomb-throwing emoji: "When you first came to work at Feiyang Internet Cafe, I saw your resident ID card, which had your birthday on it, so I remembered it. Now I'm asking you a question, I've also shown you my ID card, do you remember my birthday? You have 10 seconds, no checking allowed!"

July 1st.

Without thinking, I told her her birthday.

"not bad!"

Lu Xiaobei sent a happy jumping emoji and said, "I won't be celebrating your birthday with you this year. Next year, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal!"

"Hmm, you should stay home and reflect on your actions."

"Humph!"

She sent a disdainful emoji and then stopped talking.

I also felt very tired, so I soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, I went to work as usual.

"Ding Han, did you really book the Dark Gold Rose private room?" Xu Hao seemed to have a special bias towards this hotel.

"Ah."

I nodded: "What's wrong?"

"This hotel is amazing... most people can't afford to go there, you've really struck it rich!"

"good……"

"Is a private room for twelve people enough?"

Beside him, the fat man asked, "Besides Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, Kou Mei, Shen Yue, and Hao Zi, did you invite anyone else?"

"Yes, I have a friend."

I nodded: "She might come, just save a seat for her."

"Yeah, okay!"

So, as everyone was looking forward to it, it was finally time to get off work. Shen Yue drove her CC and took us to the hotel. Soon after, we arrived at the legendary Dark Gold Rose Hotel. It was indeed very high-end, looking like a rose manor. Although it was winter, it was decorated very beautifully, looking like spring.

Not long after entering the private room, Ruolin, Caicai, and Koumei arrived together.

"Wow……"

Xu Hao's eyes widened: "Ding Han, are all these your friends? You have so many beautiful women among your friends..."

"Ah."

I introduced them one by one: "This very feminine one is called Ruolin, this cute girl is called Koumei, and this dark-faced man is called Caicai. They are all my friends."

Then he pointed at Xu Hao: "This is Xu Hao, my colleague and Fatty's colleague in Luo Mei, a local native!"

Xu Hao, oblivious to the deeper meaning of "local native," laughed heartily and said, "Greetings, beauties and handsome men! I'm Ding Han's colleague, hahahahahaha~~~"

He gave an awkward laugh, making everyone feel quite uncomfortable. "Sit down, everyone, let's talk."

I gestured for everyone to sit down, and Ruolin placed a large cake on the table next to us. Including the one Fatty ordered, we now have two cakes today.

"Can we order now?"

The fat man asked, "When is your friend coming?"

"Let me ask."

So I sent Lin Qingying a WeChat message: "We've arrived. What time will you be there?"

"A meeting needs to be held suddenly, but it should be quick."

Lin Qingying sent a message: "Sorry... I'll finish this meeting as soon as possible, and I should be there before seven o'clock..."

"Well, wait for you!"

"Ok!"

Looking up at everyone, he said, "Let's chat for a while. My friend has a meeting to attend, so he'll be a little late, probably before seven o'clock."

"Let's order first, and then the kitchen can serve the food later."

"Row."

……

Xu Hao asked the waiter for playing cards, and a few people gathered around to play Guandan. I didn't understand it, so I played on my phone to the side.

It's 6:50 in the blink of an eye.

"drop!"

Lin Qingying sent a message: "On my way, will be there in ten minutes."

"Okay, I'll have the waiter bring the food. We'll wait for you."

"Ok!"

Ruolin finished her card game and looked up at me: "Ding Han, who exactly is your friend? He's being so mysterious. Do any of us know each other?"

"You probably... don't know him, right?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, I don't know you. None of you have ever met me before."

"Really?"

The fat man laughed and said, "Male or female? It's so mysterious."

"female……"

"what?!"

The fat man was dumbfounded.

Zhang Ruolin's expression tightened slightly: "Could it be... Lu Xiaobei?"

"No."

I shook my head: "That guy is grounded at home. BH City is over a thousand miles away, how could he possibly come?"

"Who is that?"

Ruolin smiled and said, "For you to value this so much, our relationship must be quite close, right?"

"It's alright, don't ask anymore, she'll be here soon."

"All right……"

Shortly after, the waiter pushed open the door to the private room, and with a series of footsteps, Lin Qingying, wearing a trench coat over her work clothes, appeared in everyone's sight.

She had a refined and beautiful appearance, and carried a subtle air of authority.

Furthermore, a man wearing a Dark Gold Rose lobby manager's badge followed behind, repeatedly saying respectfully, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect the guest in this private room to be your friend. Oh dear, if we had known Mr. Lin would be coming to our Dark Gold Rose today, we would have..."

"Manager Xu, you don't need to be so polite."

Lin Qingying turned to look at everyone and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I am Ding Han's friend, Lin Qingying."

"Lin...Lin Qingying..."

The fat man's face turned a deep liver color.

"what?!"

Shen Yue's expression also changed. As Luo Mei's employee, she naturally knew who the boss of their competitor was—the CEO of Yuening Group, who was now standing right in front of her!

"Come here and sit next to me."

To prevent Lin Qingying from feeling awkward, I asked Ruolin to move a seat so that Lin Qingying could sit between me and Ruolin.

"Everyone must be starving while waiting..."

Lin Qingying said apologetically, "Manager Xu, please serve the dishes quickly."

"Good good!"

Manager Xu said repeatedly, "The dishes in this private room are urgent, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment, they will be here shortly!"

He was too enthusiastic, but Lin Qingying remained aloof.

"Ding Han..."

Xu Hao shushed him, gave him a wink, and lowered his voice, saying, "I didn't expect you to actually bring President Lin here..."

"Ah."

I nodded, feeling like it wasn't a big deal.

"Ding Han".

At this moment, Lin Qingying took out an exquisite box from her bag and whispered, "Although you repeatedly emphasized that it's enough for you to come, I still want to give you a birthday present. I hope you won't mind."

"Oh? You're too kind..."

I was speechless, but I still took the box and opened it. It turned out to be a men's watch.

"!!!"

Not far away, Shen Yue stared in disbelief, gently nudged the fat man's arm, and whispered, "That Patek Philippe..."

I didn't hear you very clearly, but I asked, "This watch must be very expensive, right?"

"Not expensive, it's alright."

Lin Qingying smiled and said, "I think it suits you better, so I bought it."

"drop!"

The fat guy secretly sent a WeChat message with a screenshot of a luxury watch price list: "Ding Han! This watch currently has an official price of 26.9..."

"..."

I was stunned. Perhaps Lin Qingying was already thinking of buying a cheaper watch to ease my anxiety, but what she considered cheap was still too expensive for ordinary people.
