Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 282 Taking Lin Qingying to the Video Arcade
With a sharp pain, my body was engulfed by black light, and a large damage number floated above my head—

"186726!"

It's obvious that this is an instant-kill skill, with no intention of giving players a chance to defend or activate a shield to escape. Perhaps in the hard design, this move is a guaranteed death once it's used!
"Depend on……"

After being resurrected in an instant, I quickly retreated while holding the pink bomb gun, firing continuously behind me. I had to hurry up and deplete the Crystal Core Tyrant's health as soon as possible, otherwise, if the black light devoured my resurrection grimoire a few more times, it might not be enough!

Of course, this kind of move should be the BOSS's ultimate move, so it should have a relatively long cooldown time.

Never mind, I'll just teleport away when I've used up the last two copies of the Resurrection Codex!

At this moment, I suddenly remembered my conversation with Lin Qingying before I left. I promised her that I would not use the Resurrection Scripture if I could avoid it, but now I am risking the consumption of the Resurrection Scripture to conquer a sixth-tier alien!
As the saying goes: a man's words are deceitful!
……

Behind me, the Crystal Core Tyrant roared repeatedly. It used its hands and feet to move its huge body like a wild beast, desperately chasing after the crystal cluster in the underground cave. Unfortunately, its attacks required aiming before it could unleash its crystal and prism lasers. My shots, on the other hand, were pre-aimed, and I moved quickly the instant I hit it, completely blocking the Crystal Core Tyrant's line of sight!

Ten minutes later, the Crystal Core Tyrant suddenly convulsed, and the crystal clusters around its body rapidly contracted, about to use the same trick again to unleash the Black Light Devouring skill!
We can't just sit here and wait to die this time!

I immediately waved my hand and activated my burst technique—Absolute Space!
"Shh!"

A golden halo appeared around, forming an invincible field. At the same time, he switched to the power sword, activated Battle Cry, Heavenly Craftsmanship, and Unstoppable Force, and charged in to unleash a burst of extreme damage, instantly cutting off nearly a million of the opponent's health. Afterwards, he switched to the bomb gun and continued to shoot while using the camera angle!

I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If I could have predicted it in advance the first time and released the invincibility skill, I could have saved a resurrection scroll.

There's no way around it; the next Resurrection Scripture is bound to be used.

"drop!"

At that moment, a message came from Zhang Ruolin: "Ding Han, haven't you come back?"

"No, I'm still in the underground cave of the El Crystal Mine, trying to solo the pink crystal core tyrant."

"I go……"

Ruolin was shocked: "Can you beat it? That thing is said to be able to kill people instantly. Players from the Crimson Cloud Alliance and the Ember Domain have been killed in an instant."

"We can fight, and we can use the camera angle to slowly grind."

I hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to concentrate and not get distracted, or I'll be easily defeated."

"Well, come on!"

Meanwhile, lines of comments were floating on the star map, mostly from the guide's announcement of the event. Although they had wiped out the forces guarding the El Crystal Mine in Dark Tide Town, they were ultimately wiped out by a pink BOSS. Moreover, the guide and the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group had already fled, and this S-rank mission seemed to have been shelved.

I have nothing to say about this, and will continue to diligently grind down the Tyrant's health.

I have to say, getting to the pink boss stage was really painful. You couldn't fight it head-on at all, so you could only win through this kind of opportunistic war of attrition.

However, if we can actually defeat it, the reward will definitely be good, because this will be the first kill of the pink BOSS. In the previous kills of the pink BOSS, the players played the role of assisting in the kill. The pink BOSS has never been truly killed by players before!
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the Crystal Core Tyrant's ultimate move was fully charged. With a long hiss, it was unleashed!

Fight!

With a determined look, he activated both the Annihilation Armor and the Stardust Wall, while simultaneously clutching a medkit in his hand, ready to use it as soon as he was alive!
Unfortunately, once the black light passed, a tingling, liberating sensation spread through my body.

"147768!"

Great, it's still a 100% sell-out with absolutely no room for negotiation!

The Resurrection Scripture emitted a gentle, subtle sound, swiftly reviving the physical body on the spot. At the same time, all the skill icons lit up simultaneously, and the cooldowns were reset, including invincibility!

Come again!

Carrying his explosive gun, he continued to diligently fly his kite!

Ten minutes later, the Crystal Core Tyrant roared and unleashed its Black Light Devouring skill for the fourth time!
"Shh!"

An invincible aura emanates, I unleash a devastating attack with my sword, then run away!

However, the BOSS still had a lot of health left, and its health regeneration speed was unusually fast, which made me wonder if the Crystal Core Tyrant would not have lost any health if I had used the orange bomb gun instead of the pink one.

……

Time passed slowly until I used up the fourth Resurrection Tome. Finally, the Crystal Core Tyrant's health bar was reduced to a sliver. Seeing that the opponent's health bar was down to 1%, I didn't hesitate any longer. I activated Invincibility and Unstoppable Force, and went forward with my Power Sword. A set of ultimate output directly cut off the last bit of health from the Crystal Core Tyrant!
"Hiss~~~"

At the moment of death, the Crystal Core Tyrant's body trembled incessantly, and the crystals on its surface were frantically annihilated, on the verge of exploding!
"Pong!"

Its flesh and crystals emitted a blinding light, then exploded with a deafening roar. The shockwave swept across the entire cave, and I was the first to be hit, involuntarily taking several steps back. Fortunately, my invincibility effect lasted for two seconds, so I did not suffer any damage.

The next second, several incredibly pleasant ringtones sounded, and it was finally done!

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Crystal Core Tyrant (pink BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Crystal Core Tyrant (pink BOSS), gaining 16000000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 8000000 experience points!]

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player *Shadow for successfully defeating the Crystal Core Tyrant (pink BOSS), achieving the first kill of a pink BOSS in *Star Abyss*! Rewards: Achievement +6, Charm +2! Additional reward: *Resurrection Scroll* (S-grade recovery item)!]

……

The pink first kill reward was distributed directly through a server-wide announcement, and to everyone's delight, it also included a Resurrection Tome.

I used up 4 of my 6 Resurrection Scriptures in one battle, but I was rewarded with 1 more, so I still have 3 Resurrection Scriptures in my storage space. I just feel a little less secure.

"Fuck..."

Cai Cai was shocked: "Boss, you didn't leave? You actually defeated that pink BOSS!"

"Wow, what a manly guy..." Hoya Asahi, Hobing Zhiri, and the storyteller exclaimed in unison.

I laughed and said, "We were lucky. We fell into the underground cave with the BOSS. There were perfect conditions here to use the camera angle to our advantage and kite the BOSS, which is why it took us almost an hour to defeat him. Haven't you guys returned to Huaining City yet?"

"Nope."

The fat man said, "The phase teleportation core has traveled too far from Xicheng and is heading back."

"Everyone, please be safe."

"Ok!"

The next second, "Sword Like a Dragon" sent a message: "Ding Han, Ding Han, how did you take down that Crystal Core Tyrant? Wow, you actually soloed such a powerful BOSS."

I brought up the issue of using camera angles again.

Gun Out Like a Dragon said happily, "Great! We almost missed our chance for this mission. Although we wiped out the Dark Tide's garrison, the crystal mine was still occupied by the Crystal Core Tyrant. Now that you've killed the Crystal Core Tyrant, the problem is solved. I'll report to the guide right away and let them retake the crystal mine. We'll definitely get the mission rewards."

"Okay, that's good."

I nodded and ignored him. I took out the pink treasure chest dropped by the Crystal Core Tyrant. This pink treasure chest was extremely valuable. Not only was it the first kill of an S7-level BOSS in the entire server, but I also dealt almost 100% damage by myself. In addition, my charm value was as high as 46, which meant that all kinds of buffs were stacked up. It would be an injustice if it didn't contain anything good!

A little excited, I carefully opened the treasure chest, and immediately a super pleasant ringtone rang in my ears—

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Torch] (Pink - Second Generation Power Sword)!

……

"Fuck!!!"

Standing in the cave, I was so excited that I shouted out loud: a pink weapon, and a second-generation power sword at that! I was so excited that I yelled "Ahhhhh!" for ten seconds before I calmed down a little.

"call……"

Looking down, I turned my gaze to the other-dimensional storage space. In the corner, a gray longsword lay there. It was immediately obvious that the blade was much longer than the Wind Chaser, but not as wide. The shape of the Blade of Fire had a bit of the feel of a Han sword, extremely majestic!
The next second, the power sword attribute appeared gracefully, which was exciting—

【Spark】(Quality: Pink)
Rank: Fifth Tier

Type: Star-class Power Sword II

基础参数：攻击4450-5200，攻速1.5次/秒，耐久度5000/5000

It is exceptionally powerful and once displayed its might in the war to save the country. It is a famous sword that symbolizes the unbroken bloodline of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom!

……

"Fuck..."

Looking at the attributes of the Flame, I felt like my heart was about to stop beating.

Wow! That's incredible!
The weapons in "Star Abyss" are simple and straightforward, without any unnecessary attributes. Just look at the two main effects: attack and armor penetration. The Firewood is undoubtedly the best among pink weapons, with an attack cap of 5200, an extremely high attack speed, and the unique attribute of a destructive force field that ignores defense, making it virtually invincible!

"call……"

I suppressed my excitement and immediately removed the Wind Chaser and replaced it with the Flame!
"Crack!"

In an instant, a bell rang—

[Congratulations! Your Overall Combat Ability has successfully surpassed 50000 points. As you are the first player to break the 50000 mark, you receive the following rewards: Achievement +6, Charm +2!]

If I remember correctly, my combat power was a little over 4 before, but it instantly jumped to 5 after I equipped the Flame of Life. How much combat power did that add?!
Opening my personal attributes panel, I felt a surge of joy.

【Chasing Shadows】(Starry Sky Super Weapon - Sword Specialization - Tier 5)

Rating: 50
Attack: 8315-9596
Defense: 3780
Life: 76300

Overall combat capability level: 50952
Potential Point Allocation: Strength 1244 / Agility 845 / Spirit 737 / Stamina 432
Achievements: 93
Red Dragon Kingdom Faction Reputation: Exalted
……

Strong, too strong!
Looking at these stats, I could barely contain my smile. The base attack has reached 9500+, plus a 40% bonus from sword-type super weapons and a 60% bonus from all cyan equipment. With another Battle Cry, the attack power is increased by 130%, bringing the true attack power to over 2 points. Plus, there's the Fire's ability to ignore defense.

From now on, when you go out and kill someone, a normal attack will cost at least 2 damage, unless the opponent has very high damage reduction!
Unfortunately, the achievement reward for breaking through 5 combat power is too poor; there was nothing at all. Last time, when I broke through 1, I was rewarded with a god-level skill like Stardust Wall!
But it doesn't matter. I got a pink second-generation power sword, the Firestone, on this trip. What more could I ask for? I'm satisfied!
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his ecstatic joy, he channeled his Yuan energy into the fire.

"Om~~~"

In an instant, the force field generator inside the power sword began to hum, and the originally gray sword body instantly turned into a dazzling blood red light. Compared with the previous dark blue color of the power sword, the killing intent was much stronger!

It's alright, perfectly acceptable.

So I put away the torch, leaped out of the cave, and climbed along the crystal mine to the surface. The moment I stepped out of the mine, I saw armored vehicles speeding towards me through billowing dust.

The guide and the members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group have returned.

"Ding Han!"

The guide jumped out of the car, his face beaming with joy, and said, "You're such a pleasant surprise! I never imagined you could single-handedly kill a sixth-tier mutant like the Crystal Core Tyrant. You've really impressed me!"

"When you distribute the S-rank mission rewards later, give me a little extra, Guide," I said.

He immediately looked embarrassed: "I really can't decide that. All I can do is use my world contribution points to exchange for a batch of rewards and throw them into the prize pool, but who gets the rewards depends on the system, and I can't intervene."

"Ok."

I nodded: "This crystal mine is ours now. You go ahead with your work. I'm heading back to Huaining City now. Killing the Crystal Core Tyrant was too exhausting, I need to get some rest."

"Well, let's go!"

The guide nodded and then led a group of players into the crystal mine. I took out my off-road motorcycle, said goodbye to Cai Cai, Ruo Lin and the others, and then set off on my way home.

Not long after, a bell rang in my ear—

[Congratulations! You have completed the regional quest "Attack the El Crystal Mine!" (S-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +2200 million, Reputation Points +2500, Charisma Points +1, and additional reward: "El Sword" (Quality: Cyan)!]

"What the hell?"

Slightly taken aback, another sword appeared. Could it be a power sword?

While riding the motorcycle, I glanced into the interdimensional storage space and saw a longsword with a bluish luster lying there. Hmm, it's not a power sword. What kind of luck is that? Who knows when the next power weapon will be released in the Chinese server.

As for the attributes of this cyan longsword, they're not bad!
【Sword of El】(Quality: Cyan)
Rank: Fifth Tier

Type: Single-molecule longsword
基础参数：攻击1200-1750，攻速1.3次/秒，耐久度5000/5000
Strength: +40
Agility: +38
Length: 1.1M
Weight: 15KG
Blessing: Lifesteal +6%
Specialty: Armor Penetration, ignores 29% of the target's armor.

Strength required: 700
Details: The Sword of Elsword, a masterpiece crafted by a master.
……

Although it can't compare to the Flame of Fire, the cyan longsword's 1750 attack power is actually quite good. After all, the orange power sword Wind Chaser with its attack power maxed out only has an attack cap of 1800. Without a power sword, the El Sword is currently the top choice among first-tier sword-type super weapons!
Yes, this needs to be sold, and preferably for a higher price.

So, I posted the attribute guide for El Sword directly on the dark web in Huaining City, leaving a message for those who wanted it to message me privately.

As a result, less than ten minutes later, a ringtone sounded in my ear—

[Player "是瑶瑶吖" has requested to become your friend. Do you accept?]

Someone is coming!
He accepted his friend's invitation while riding his motorcycle.

This woman looks familiar. She often makes outstanding appearances at various events in Huaining City. In addition, she ranks among the top ten in the sword-wielding super weapon professions in Huaining City, second only to me and a few others such as Yu Shi Wu Zheng and Jin Yu.

"drop!"

She sent a message directly: "Ding Han, I want your El Sword. Delete the post. When are you going back to the player black market? We can talk face-to-face there."

"can."

I nodded: "See you at the player black market in two hours."

……

After that, he continued to gallop through the dangerous wilderness like a free spirit.

At 4:30 PM, we successfully arrived at the teleportation array and returned to the player black market in Huaining City.

They arrived earlier than several members of the team. So far, only Ruolin, Koumei, Huobing Zhiri, and Gushi have returned, but since they came back early, they didn't wait and went home after trading and resupplying.

So I texted Yao Yao, and she told me she was waiting for me in booth number 03 at the Black Market Cafe.

Led by a pretty waitress, we arrived at the private room. The moment the door opened, we saw several beautiful women sitting inside, giving off an impression of being in a particularly beautiful setting.

"It's coming!"

Yao Yao smiled and said, "Ding Han, what would you like to drink?"

"American latte, extra sugar!"

"OK, just a second!"

The waiter smiled and left, then soon brought over a cup of coffee that could be sipped in one go. Sometimes I just can't understand these bourgeois sentiments; I actually prefer the kind that's plentiful and filling.

"Ding Han".

Yao Yao laughed and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yao Yao, and I am the leader of the Tea House Guild in Huaining City. The two next to me are my girlfriends who used to slack off at work and play games with me. As a result, we were accidentally sucked into the Star Abyss. Now we can only stick together for warmth and depend on each other for survival."

“They’re all the same…” I said, deeply agreeing.

All three of them possess sword-type super weapons. Yao Yao is the alliance leader, and the other two are vice alliance leaders. One is called Lazy Sleepy, and the other is called Your Little Rou. Hmm... these game IDs are quite something.

"Ding Han, my name is Lanlan, can we add each other as friends?"

"Ok."

"Ding Han, my name is Xiao Rou, I also want to add you as a friend."

"Uh-huh."

With a friendly expression, I added her as a friend and then narrowed my eyes, saying, "Yaoyao, the IDs of the core high-level players in your guild are something else, they sound pretty..."

At this point, I'm a little embarrassed to continue.

"So manipulative, isn't it?"

Yao Yao laughed and said, "To be honest, we named it that on purpose. Otherwise, why do you think our guild is called 'Tea Tasting Pavilion'?"

"Hahaha, what a twisted sense of humor!"

Several female gamers also laughed.

"Ding Han".

Yao Yao asked, "Did you get this sword from a boss, or as a quest reward?"

"It's a reward for completing a task."

"Wow..." Yao Yao revealed a meaningful expression. If it's a mission reward, it means the BOSS might drop even better items. My gains from this mission are unimaginable.

"How much are you planning to offer for this Sword of El?" she asked.

"This level of cyan weapon is currently available but unavailable on the market."

I smiled slightly: "I estimate the price is at least 200 million, so I won't rip you off. Let's just trade at the lowest price. 200 million star coins isn't expensive, is it?"

"It's really not expensive."

Xiao Rou nodded, then looked intently at Yao Yao.

"Stop looking, I don't have enough money."

Yao Yao said helplessly, "Can you all chip in for me? I currently have 130 million. Can you all take out some of your private savings and help me get this sword first? How about that?"

"alright."

The two best friends readily agreed, and each contributed 35, eventually raising 200 million.

I then drew my sword, El, and handed over the money and goods, thus completing the transaction happily.

"I'm leaving now; I still have a lot to do."

He immediately stood up and said to the three beautiful women, "Let's chat again when we have time!"

"Okay, we're off too."

……

Leaving the coffee shop, I dragged Lao Ma straight to his office.

After pulling out a bunch of cheap goods dropped from the El Crystal Mine, Old Ma looked at me with a strange expression: "That's all? That doesn't make sense. When did your transaction volume, Ding Han, drop to this low?"

"These are all secondary; my main purpose this time is to purchase goods."

I coughed and said, "Old Ma, do you sell power sword hilts here?"

"Those things are cheap, they're all universal, 200 yuan each, you can buy them at any hardware store on the street."

"Damn it, give me one."

"OK, anything else?"

"that……"

I pulled out a stinger missile launcher from my interdimensional storage space and asked, "Do you have missiles for this thing?"

"Holy crap, a bee sting!?"

Old Ma almost jumped up: "This thing is a rare commodity. Shoulder-fired missile launchers have a low success rate, and it's said that the starting equipment is at least orange-grade. Huaining City doesn't have a single one yet. Yours seems to be... cyan?"

"Ok!"

"Awesome!" He gave a thumbs up.

"Does it exist or not?"

"Hahaha~~~" Old Ma revealed a smug expression: "Let me tell you, the reason why our player black market business is so booming is because there's nothing we can't get if you can think of it. We actually have these stinger missiles, but the price is a bit high, so you'd better be prepared."

"How many?"

I smiled slightly: "An RPG rocket launcher costs only 8000 per round, so how expensive can a stinger missile be?"

"Sorry, it's 100,000 per shot!"

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

I was shocked: "100,000 per shot? Did I hear that right? Old Ma, when did your player black market change owners? Is it run by some African now?"

"Nima..."

Old Ma said helplessly, "That's a missile, brother. How can the power be the same? Are you playing house like a child? Have you ever calculated how much a missile costs in our original world? Have you ever thought about the price of a PL-15 or a PL-17? An ordinary person might not earn enough to buy one in a lifetime. Now you're telling me, is 10 yuan a missile expensive?"

"That's true, but..."

I felt a little awkward. Earning money is really not easy, and I can't afford to squander it like this!
"Take it easy, my good brother!"

Old Ma patted my shoulder and said earnestly, "As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. This Stinger missile is a treasure, and besides, your launcher is blue, so its firepower is definitely off the charts. Think about it yourself. In the future, when you're fighting, you can use precision laser guidance and send your enemy flying several kilometers away with a single missile. Isn't that awesome? Isn't this money well spent?!"

"Holy crap, Jack Ma, stop talking, just buy, buy, buy!"

I was immediately tempted, and after a moment's hesitation, I said, "Give me 50 rounds!"

"grass!"

Old Ma slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "Big business! Here, boss, have a cigarette!"

"No, I'm a model citizen, I don't smoke."

"Okay, I'll have someone go get the goods!"

Soon after, boxes of missiles appeared before my eyes, a total of 50 missiles, neatly arranged. I immediately used the storage function of my extradimensional storage space to put them away, and then took out 425 million star coins and handed them to Old Ma. Although the 15% reduction was due to the worship reputation level, it still hurt my heart!

This reputation level needs to be raised!
In an instant, my personal savings returned to the 800 million level, which was a bit disheartening.

Old Ma went out first, while I took out the Firewood from his office and immediately removed the hilt with the words "Riding the Wind" from it and attached it to the Firewood. Then, looking at the universal hilt I bought from Old Ma and the hilt I removed from the Firewood, my head was a little confused.

Huh? Why should I buy a new hilt? Wouldn't it be enough to just attach the hilt of the Firewood to the Windseeker?

……

After leaving the player black market, he stood by the roadside and sent Lin Qingying a message: "Qingying, I'm back. Want to have dinner together tonight?"

Half a minute later, she replied: "Okay, I heard that a hot pot restaurant opened in the square. Let's go and try it. You can come find me in a bit. I'll try to leave work on time."

"it is good."

I took a taxi straight to Yuening Group.

He closed his eyes in the car and spoke to Zhang Ruolin: "Ruolin, are you there?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to Yuening Group now. I'm having dinner with Xiaoying tonight. Do you want to come along?"

"I?"

Zhang Ruolin said with a cheeky smile, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Doesn't this disturb your time together?"

"If you're not coming, fine. I'll just sell this Windseeker."

"What?"

In an instant, Ruolin's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "You mean... you got a power sword that's even better than the Windseeker?"

"Ah."

I nodded and sent her the illustration of the Flame of Fire via private message.

"I go……"

Ruolin was astonished: "These stats are absolutely incredible! What kind of luck is this? Such a great pink power sword... it must be the best weapon in the entire server right now, right?"

"Without a doubt."

I chuckled and said, "In our team, Bingzi can also wield a sword, but he's a mental class and can't drive a power sword on his own. So you're the perfect candidate to be the next master of the Windseeker. You're lucky."

"it is good!"

Zhang Ruolin said, "However, I won't take your power sword for nothing. How about this... I'll use all my savings of 140 million to exchange for this power sword. Although I know the power sword is worth far more than that, I've already done my best."

"Ruolin, there's no need for us to say these things."

I laughed and said, "After I escaped from the Dark Tide, the first player I met in Xicheng was you. You are my mentor, and we are comrades-in-arms. We have a long road ahead of us. What is this mere S5-level power sword? In the future, we will be able to wield S10-level or higher power swords. Just wait and see!"

"Ok!"

Ruolin smiled and said, "Then I'll be right there. Let's meet downstairs at Yuening Building and then go up together to pick up Ying'er?"

"Okay!"

……

Shortly after, they arrived at the foot of Yuening Building, and a few minutes later, Ruolin also arrived.

"Deal first."

I went up and opened the trade panel, putting the Wind Chaser up there. Ruolin put up a bunch of money, two Tier 3 skill manuals, and an orange-tier piece of equipment. It was clear she had really put in her best effort.

"You..."

I said with a sigh, "Just give me the money, there's no need for anything else. I'm not really that poor."

“They’re different, one thing at a time.”

Ruolin said seriously, "As the top player in Huaining City, you must have consumed a lot of resources. Moreover, you sold off a lot of the dropped equipment to us at a low price, which will definitely slow down your snowballing pace. We, your teammates, are not heartless; we all remember it. As for me, you don't need to worry at all. Once I get the Wind Chaser, I'll take off. Do you think I'll be short of money in the future?"

"Haha, that makes sense!"

I nodded emphatically: "You are a shield-type super weapon, so your tankiness is not a problem. Now that you have the Power Sword, you won't lack damage either. The Power Sword can trigger two special attack effects: critical hit and decapitation. From now on, you will definitely have the ability to fight bosses alone. In short, it's a good thing. From now on, our team will be a dual Power Sword combination. Sooner or later, we will be unparalleled in the world!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Ruolin turned around and saw a figure walking out of the Yuening Building, so she smiled and said, "Shen Man is here. Let's go and visit Xiaoying's office."

Upstairs, in the CEO's office.

Zhang Ruolin was shocked. She looked around and touched everything, saying, "I've never seen such a big office before, really..."

Beside her, Lin Qingying smiled and said, "Sister Ruolin, if you're free in the future, you can come and play often. You can also find a manager for Moshang Huakai and come work at Yuening. I'll arrange a suitable job for you."

"Really? But I don't know anything..." Ruolin said with a fake humble expression.

Sitting on the sofa, I said, "You can come and be the security supervisor. After all, when it comes to fighting, I reckon none of Yuening's security team can match you."

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Ruolin is unaware that Lin Qingying already knows the truth about my identity, and given my close relationship with Ruolin, she must have already guessed that Ruolin is also a player.

I was too lazy to point it out, since there might be surveillance cameras here, so I kept quiet.

After a while, an assistant brought over a contract. Lin Qingying signed it and immediately picked up her bag: "Let's go, time to go home!"

"go!"

I helped her carry her laptop, and the three of us strode away from Yuening, drove to the underground parking lot of the square across the street, and then went into the hot pot restaurant that Lin Qingying had mentioned.

"Order whatever you like, this meal is on me," I said.

"Oh?"

Lin Qingying glanced at me and asked with a smile, "Is there some good news?"

"Ok!"

I lowered my voice and whispered in her ear, "I got an amazing piece of equipment today!"

"That definitely deserves a celebration! I've picked the expensive ones!"

"Order!"

Soon after, we started eating. This hot pot restaurant had a unique flavor, the kind of spicy Chongqing hot pot. Although it was a bit tough on the stomach, it was still quite enjoyable to eat.

The meal cost over 1000 yuan, which is quite extravagant compared to the consumption level of this era.

"Ying'er".

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Ruolin took Lin Qingying's hand and said, "I'm going to the restaurant now, I won't disturb your date. You two must be very sweet together!"

"Well, let's go."

After watching Zhang Ruolin leave in a taxi, Lin Qingying looked at me and asked, "Now, what do we do?"

"If you're not busy tonight, shall we go see a movie?"

"OK……"

So, he took Lin Qingying to the cinema, only to find that there were no good movies to watch.

"What should I do? I can't watch the movie." She was slightly disappointed.

"Who said that?"

I said, "There are a lot of video arcades in the alley behind here. Let's find an empty one and watch it all by ourselves!"

"what?"

Lin Qingying was both amused and exasperated: "Are we really going to rent out the entire video arcade?"

Given her background, she certainly wouldn't have been allowed to go to a place like that before, since her family had everything they needed.

"It's okay, let's at least try it once. Let's buy milk tea first, and then go to the video arcade and book the whole place."

"Ok!"

So, each of them drank a cup of Bo Ya's Broken Strings, and then came to a slightly messy alley, which was full of life. In the distance, they saw a middle-aged man with tattoos on his arm eating a bowl in front of a video arcade.

When Lin Qingying saw the video arcade owner, she looked a little scared, probably because she thought he was a gangster.

I didn't care at all. None of these people were as good as our player community. We were the kind of people who would wield power swords and hack and slash at anyone. These so-called thugs were as innocent and naive as little white rabbits in front of us.

"Boss, are we having any customers right now? We'd like to book the whole place."

"Oh, perfect timing, nobody's around!"

The boss hurriedly put down his rice bowl and said with a smile, "However, renting out the entire theater is a bit expensive, 50 yuan per movie. You can consider it."

"Bag!"

I immediately pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it over: "We're only watching one movie, so don't let anyone else in."

"Understand!"

The shop owner winked at me, then his gaze swept over Lin Qingying, revealing a look of surprise. It seemed that no woman like her had ever patronized his shop before.

Indeed, Lin Qingying has such a strong aura; she doesn't look like the kind of delinquent girl who goes to video arcades to watch movies at all.

As for me, at this moment I felt exactly like that young punk who tricked a rich heiress into going to a video arcade...

Afterwards, they chose an old romance movie starring Rosamund Kwan called "My Wife Is Not Human". Although the movie was quite old, the content was still pretty good. Lin Qingying liked it very much after watching it. The two chatted about the plot all the way home, then washed up and rested separately.

……

a few days later.

Feiyang Internet Cafe Huaining Flagship Store has reopened.

Early in the morning, Lu Xiaobei was handing out a stack of flyers at the entrance of the internet cafe, promoting the reopening discounts. In a sense, she was really career-minded.
