"Hey, Wu Di, back to turn in your quest?"
Along the way, familiar faces greeted him, and Wu Di naturally responded with his usual habit, simply nodding his head in return.
This seemingly dismissive act was, however, seen as natural by others, for in this group, the young man's reticence was well-known, which was very different from that of his partner.
The latter seed to make up for all the words he didn't say by being loud and easily irritated.
Of course, Wu Di understood that, privately, there must be so not-so-kind idle gossip spreading around—
But he had never cared, as he understood far better than anyone the reason for his privileges at the base. They stemd from undeniable strength and not from being a smooth operator.
Wu Di wiped his wet hair with a dried towel, silently listening to the screams of rage from Liuli Yue coming from the entertainnt room far away—his partner was playing a mini-ga that was very popular among Invokers, Doto, a gadget relying on the Summoners System.
Though not complicated, it required a great deal of team coordination.
Of course, just by the sound of it, one could tell his partner's gaming experience was anything but pleasant. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the latter stord out with a sour face.
Before long, the door was "bang" kicked open with a loud noise, and behind it erged a little girl with an equally sullen face.
The little girl's outfit was quite distinctive.
She looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, yet she sported dreadlocks, wore a black leather eyepatch over her right eye tied around her head with a belt. Her top half was dressed in a tightly buttoned white blouse—though there was still no chest to be seen.
Topping it off was a tricorne hat that was too large, seemingly swiped from sowhere, almost completely covering her silver eyes.
She hurriedly pushed up her hat, careful not to hit her head on the doorfra. anwhile, she showed off her pearly white tiny fangs and squeaked at Liuli Yue in front of her:
"You lost again, it's all your fault!"
"How is it my fault, it's clearly your Anti-Mage playing as badly as a dog!" Liuli Yue turned around, fuming and shouted.
"What!? Blaming ? Fine then, tell , are you or are you not an idiot?" The little girl was so angry she was hopping, her voice loud enough to attract the attention of everyone in the base.
Wu Di saw his partner seed to be on the brink of a ltdown, but he also appeared not wanting to quarrel with the little girl, shrugging his shoulders shalessly: "You're right, I am an idiot, so what?"
"Well then, since you're an idiot, you should listen to , so however you put it, this loss is your fault!"
"It's none of my business," Liuli Yue pushed her away: "Get lost, little brat, I don't have ti for your nonsense."
The little girl trembled with rage: "Since you admit you're an idiot, why won't you listen to ?"
"Why would an idiot listen to you? An idiot can't understand you, an idiot won't take the bla." Liuli Yue thought for a mont, then decided to fully embrace the role of an idiot.
"I have no bla to take, so naturally it's yours, get it?"
The little girl was stunned by the powerful logic in this sentence for a good while.
Then she stomped her foot and yelled, "Liuli Yue, stop right there! From now on, I'm an idiot too, I'm not human anymore!"
The argunt between the two always managed to attract sidelong glances from everyone in the hall.
anwhile, Wu Di quietly watched these two, just gently shaking his head. As they continued their argunt while approaching, the topic varied but the essence remained the sa, revolving around the fundantal question of whether it was the egg that ca first or the chicken—and whose bla it was.
"Let borrow your terminal."
Liuli Yue strode over, not even asking for permission before snatching Wu Di's personal terminal, rapidly typing in sothing, then throwing it to the little girl:
"Here, this is for you, take a good look at it."
Wu Di glanced over and roughly saw what his partner had typed in; he had opened up an auxiliary software related to the popular ga and entered the words 'Anti-Mage' into the strategy search.
He wasn't much interested in gas, but knew that in Doto, this character was infamously known as a 'cancer' and 'orphan,' and this little girl seed to have a special affection for this role.
He clearly knew what this was all about.
This little girl, led astray by his partner, was nad Mu Xue, the true Little Princess of Silver Forest Spear.
It was said that she was the daughter of so high-ranking executive in the club, and theoretically, one would have expected her to be a well-bred young lady, but heaven knows how she ended up like this.
It was common knowledge in this place, and people generally gave her leeway, but the only exception was probably his own partner.
In Liuli Yue's words, he didn't want to spoil the young lady with bad habits; if capable, just fire him.
Of course, it turned out that his stubborn partner wasn't fired, and instead, it was the Little Luo who stubbornly didn't heed and actually got along quite well with his partner.
Which was quite surprising to everyone.
Of course, while they got along well, having a big fight every five days and a small argunt every three was also expected.
