"Didn’t you say your boss cooks better?"
Chuzheng asked the young man after ordering.
"Yeah." The young man nodded.
"Then let your boss cook."
The young man glanced at the boss sitting across from him; seeing Xi Mu didn’t oppose, he then said, "If the boss cooks, it will require extra points..."
Chuzheng didn’t ask how many and nodded generously, "Okay."
Xi Mu looked at Chuzheng for a few seconds, snatched the nu from the young man’s hand, and stood up to walk to the back.
The young man quickly followed but still reminded Chuzheng, "Please wait a mont."
-
The serving speed was faster than Chuzheng expected; the dishes were served quickly.
Xi Mu personally carried out the last dish of cola chicken wings; he wasn’t wearing a chef’s uniform, just had his sleeves rolled up.
This person looked less like a cook and more like a celebrity posing under the spotlight.
Xi Mu sat down opposite and put down his sleeves, "Please."
Chuzheng tried the cold appetizer first; the taste was peculiar, cool and crisp.
Then ca the hot dishes, which she had ordered before, but the taste was entirely different.
This flavor seed more authentic and delicious; the soup was rich, and the at was tender.
But the portion seed smaller than before.
She hadn’t had a few bites before it was gone.
Xi Mu leaned back in his chair, watching Chuzheng eat.
Chuzheng rembered sothing and looked up at him, "Your injury..."
"It’s healed."
"That fast?" A wound that deep, how could it heal so quickly?
Xi Mu explained to Chuzheng, "The cabin has a dical room for fast wound healing; as long as you’re not dead, it can bring you back in one breath."
"Is it that advanced here?" With such impressive technology, it could dominate the world outside.
Xi Mu: "It’s not to be viewed with common sense here."
Healing wounds is understandable, but resurrecting players?
How do they manage to bring deceased players back to life...
Chuzheng thought of this too.
Chuzheng asked him, "Are we really here physically, or is this virtual?"
Maybe, like in movies, they had an accident outside, and their consciousness exists here.
Xi Mu shook his head.
Players here feel pain, hunger, and even sickness.
No different from the outside world.
So speculate they’re virtual entities.
But this speculation cannot be proven.
The Prop Card that resurrects a person only rembers the last second before their death and what they saw after being revived.
"How long have you been here?"
Xi Mu squinted his eyes for a while before pulling the corners of his mouth, "Can’t rember."
"Xi Mu!!"
Jih Youtang entered from outside the store, scanning the interior.
A few players dining saw Jih Youtang co in, not as frightening as in the ga, but still quietly watching without daring to move.
Jih Youtang saw Xi Mu and headed straight over.
"Hey, little sister is here too!" Jih Youtang waved at her with a smile, "Xi Mu, are you finally going to blossom?"
Xi Mu, who was known for not liking won, now sat with a girl; how curious!
Chuzheng didn’t quite understand how Jih Youtang, who seed older than Xi Mu, could say "Brother Xi Mu" so flirtatiously.
Could he be after my Good Person Card?
Xi Mu’s previously calm face now showed annoyance and unwelconess, "What did you co here for?"
"Brother Xi Mu, don’t be so fierce. You can’t fight anyway." Jih Youtang dragged a chair over and sat down, "You don’t mind, do you?"
Xi Mu: "..."
Chuzheng: "..."
You’ve already sat down, isn’t it a bit late to ask if we mind!
First rule of being a jerk: Shalessness.
Fighting is prohibited in the cabin, so even if there’s a grudge in the ga, in the cabin, they have to sit at the sa table to eat.
Xi Mu can only endure him now.
Jih Youtang chuckled, "I’ll show you a treasure."
"Not interested, get lost!" Xi Mu pointed outside, "Leave now."
"Don’t be like that," Jih Youtang looked hurt, "I haven’t shown it to anyone else, see how nice I am to you."
Xi Mu: "..."
Xi Mu’s gaze swept towards Chuzheng.
Chuzheng ate, indifferent, but secretly eavesdropped.
Jih Youtang insisted on showing Xi Mu the treasure.
Chuzheng watched him fumble around his waist; just when she thought he might get into trouble, he pulled out sothing wrapped in gauze.
Cylindrical and about thirty to forty centiters long.
The gauze bore traces of blood.
Chuzheng’s instincts told her it wasn’t anything good...
Sure enough, Jih Youtang unwrapped the gauze, revealing a bloody bone.
Jih Youtang bead sweetly, "Xi Mu, doesn’t this resemble the rib you once broke of mine?"
"Jih Youtang, are you leaving or what?" Clearly, he ca to disgust him; he does this every ti, and Xi Mu is used to it.
Jih Youtang held the bone and blinked, "Brother Xi Mu, don’t you like it?"
Xi Mu got up and left.
If you don’t leave, I will!
Staying longer, Xi Mu felt he’d end up fighting Jih Youtang.
Fighting in the cabin has serious consequences.
There’s no punishnt for being hit; it’s bad news for the one who starts the fight.
Jih Youtang repeatedly cos to provoke him to fight, truly malicious.
"Hey..." Jih Youtang didn’t chase after, instead turned his attention to Chuzheng, "Little sister, what were you talking to Xi Mu about earlier? Tell too."
"I said you’re a creep."
"Little sister, you’re not too different from a creep yourself." Jih Youtang knocked on the table, "See, you’re still able to eat."
"..."
Man cannot live on bread alone; skipping als makes one starve. I can’t skip a al just because you brought a bone!
"Take it away."
"As a side dish?" Jih Youtang seed intent on gifting it to Chuzheng, "Rest assured, little sister, it’s just a dog bone, not human."
"Your dog mutated?"
A dog’s body doesn’t have such bones.
"Mutated indeed, from a ga instance," Jih Youtang explained.
"..."
Chuzheng stared at Jih Youtang.
Jih Youtang smiled, his eyes curved.
Chuzheng set down her bowl and chopsticks, slightly leaned back, resting against the chair, "Did you just want to tell Xi Mu this?"
"Little sister, you’re really clever." Jih Youtang praised her.
Except for the items they took into the instance themselves, nothing can be brought out.
Yet Jih Youtang claid the item ca from an instance...
What does this indicate?
There’s an issue with ga instance defenses, or is the ga upgrading?
"It’s a pity Brother Xi Mu didn’t listen to ." Jih Youtang looked disappointed and left, carrying the bone he had offered Chuzheng.
Chuzheng: "..."
Wasn’t he going to give it to !
Second rule of being a jerk: Unreliable speech.
"Oh right."
Jih Youtang turned back.
"Little sister, how did you manage to take that person down earlier?"
Xi Mu slipped away, leaving her alone, managing to take soone down?!
"What’s it to you?"
"Let’s exchange so ideas."
Chuzheng, with a cold face, "Not interested."
"What are you interested in? I’m familiar with here; I can show you around. We’re friends in the cabin, can’t fight anyway, right..."
"Get lost."
"..."
