Chapter 572 [(*^▽^*)]
Wang Yi then looked up at him and said with a smile, "You're my darling, who else would I treat well if not you? Eat up, I've already tasted the food I made for you, it's delicious."
Yu Peng rarely showed a smile, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, "The taste is indeed quite good, can you put some more on my plate, I'll try some more..."
The two finished their meal chatting and laughing, looking like a newly dating, lovey-dovey couple—quite normal.
But as soon as he finished eating, Yu Peng revealed his true colors. When he got up to leave the restaurant, he deliberately circled around Lin Leyou and his group's table and lingered near them for a while.
This behavior confused everyone around them, while Lin Leyou and his friends were having a meal.
Yu Peng glanced at the food on their table and said, "Ha! People like you only deserve to eat this kind of food. You're not even as close as the two of us..."
He seemed to have just come over to make some threats, and then left. The waiter standing nearby looked at Lin Leyou and his companion with some concern, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that their expressions hadn't changed.
It seems these two guests have completely ignored Yu Peng and his companion. That's good, that's good, there won't be any trouble.
Lin Leyou also heard a waiter muttering, "We shouldn't let customers like this come again..."
"Where can we choose our customers?"
"I just wanted to pray, I had no other intentions..."
"Alright, keep your voice down. If those two hear us, they might tear our entire resort apart. That would be quite a sight."
"Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go and get to work."
Lin Leyou caught a word: "Our entire resort seems to have no problems, but you can actually taste something."
These waiters are probably villagers from the surrounding area, and they may even be shareholders in the resort.
However, this was none of their business. After dinner, Lin Leyou took Xue Rui's hand and went out for a stroll. They went wherever there was a road. They hadn't finished exploring the garden yet, so after wandering around outside for a while, they returned to the garden.
They found a secluded spot in the garden where they could rest, so they sat down and leaned comfortably against the back of their chairs, the two of them huddled together like that.
They chatted using the black jade ring, because they might occasionally mention player quests or dungeon items, and if players overheard them, they would be mistaken for players.
Although it wasn't a big deal, they didn't want to cause trouble.
They sat there quietly until evening before going to the restaurant for dinner. When they arrived, they saw that there were very few people in the restaurant.
It seems many players are busy investigating the dungeon and haven't thought about having dinner yet.
After Lin Leyou sat down, he asked, "What are the restaurant's opening hours?"
Waiter: "Well... this place is open 24 hours a day. To ensure that guests can eat anytime, we offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even late-night snacks. You can come and eat whenever you want. If you catch fish, shrimp, or crab outside, you can bring them to the restaurant and we'll help you process them."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Not bad, um... then we'll take these. Please hurry up and serve the food, we still have to go up the mountain after we finish eating, it will be difficult to walk after dark."
The waiter said, "Don't worry, the food will be served very quickly. And even if it gets dark, it's okay. All the routes marked on the map are lit by streetlights. There are also open-air viewing platforms at the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain where you can stargaze at night. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."
Lin Leyou had actually noticed this when he was looking at the map earlier. One of the two viewing platforms was halfway up the mountain, and the other was at the top. After he dismissed the waiter, he asked Xue Rui, "Which one should we go to?"
Xue Rui: "Let's go to the top of the mountain."
There should be very few people at the observation deck on the mountaintop.
Lin Leyou said, "Let's wait and see if there are many stars tonight. If it's cloudy and there are many stars, then we won't go."
Xue Rui: "Okay, will you come to my little house?"
Lin Leyou blinked. "Come to my little house."
Xue Rui's gaze fell on Lin Leyou, and after a long while, he nodded, "Okay."
Hut number five is located near the foot of the mountain, while hut number ten is located near the halfway point of the mountain. The higher the number of the hut, the higher it is located.
Fortunately, the mountain road is not difficult to walk. It only takes about an hour and a half to go from the foot of the mountain to the top, with stops along the way. If you walk fast, it can be done in an hour or even fifty minutes.
After they finished their meal, they took a walk and discussed going to the mountaintop to see the stars. By then, it was already dark, and the sun had completely set, leaving only a sliver of brilliant sunset on the horizon.
The streetlights along the road are about two people tall, and there is one every so often. Each streetlight looks a little different, and upon closer inspection, they are indeed different, with different landscapes, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other patterns on them.
The two walked towards the hill. Looking into the distance, the streetlights on the hill were like stars adorning the mountain. "It's quite beautiful."
Xue Rui looked at the hill not far away and said, "It is indeed beautiful. Let's go up to the top!"
As they climbed the mountain, they saw several players they had met before coming down. They exchanged glances, then passed each other without speaking.
These people were none other than Hang Qing and his three companions. "These two NPCs are quite affectionate; every time I see them, they're holding hands."
Su Tong said, "Let's go eat first. I'm starving after a busy afternoon."
Hang Qing: "Let's go, let's go. It feels so good to have a shower. It will feel even better to have a meal. I hope we don't run into those two stupid NPCs, or I'm really going to explode."
"I don't think so..."
As a result, they still ran into Yu Peng and Wang Yi. Besides them, there were two other friends, Yang Dong and Feng Xiuling, who came with Yu Peng and his group.
When Yu Peng saw Hang Qing and the others, his face, which had been smiling, immediately turned ugly, as if he had seen his mortal enemies.
Hang Qing walked past them with a smile on her face and entered the restaurant, as if Yu Peng and the others did not exist. After ordering, she chatted with her friends about some fun things.
When dealing with these intelligent NPCs, it's best to be a little more discreet, at least avoid openly discussing quests or similar matters. If you happen to disrupt their main storyline, it will be counterproductive.
Even the most foolish veteran player would understand this level of crisis awareness.
Unless it's intentional, I would never talk loudly in front of NPCs. Even if I had to say something, I would walk away and lower my voice.
Yu Peng gritted his teeth as he watched Hang Qing and the others' backs, his eyes gradually turning red, on the verge of exploding! But somehow, as if he had thought of something, he quickly suppressed his anger. Instead of going forward to cause trouble for Hang Qing and the others, he revealed a faint smile.
Wang Yi looked at Yu Peng and noticed a hint of bloodlust in Yu Peng's smile that went unnoticed by others.
He probably recalled some frightening scene and subconsciously took two steps back. Yu Peng noticed this and turned to look at Wang Yi. Wang Yi stiffened slightly, then took two steps forward to stand beside him and said with a smile, "Baby, let's go inside. Don't pay attention to those irrelevant people. They're just envious and jealous of you."
Yu Peng's expression completely relaxed. "You're right!"
"So many people in this world are jealous of me. Am I supposed to teach them a lesson one by one? Let's eat first. I'm starving. I'm going to eat all the good food later."
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, try them all."
And so, the two of them ordered a table full of food. Originally, Yang Dong and Feng Xiuling were also going to sit down and eat together, but when they were stared at by Yu Peng's dark eyes, they both felt a little uneasy.
Yang Dongcai tugged at Feng Xiuling's sleeve, "Forget it, it's not appropriate for us to sit next to them while they're eating together so affectionately. Let's sit alone."
Feng Xiuling's lips twitched, and she gave a cold laugh, but at least she didn't say anything. "Fine."
Hang Qing and the others were already used to this scene. The four of them seemed to be good friends who came on vacation together, but a closer look would reveal that this was not the case at all.
It seems that there's something hidden about the two NPCs, Yang Dong and Feng Xiuling, that we can uncover.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui had reached the viewing platform halfway up the mountain. The huge viewing platform was completely deserted. The two walked to the edge, leaned against the railing, and looked into the distance.
"There aren't many city lights to be seen here."
But in the distance, there were some scattered lights from rural homes, which were quite interesting to look at. The most beautiful sight was the countless twinkling stars in the sky.
Xue Rui said, "Although the view here is fairly open, there are some trees around that block the view. If you want to see the whole starry sky, you have to go up to the top of the mountain."
Lin Leyou strolled around the area, looking at the surroundings. "Let's go, let's continue our hike."
They were just looking around. Although there were huts, pavilions, tables, and chairs for resting, they didn't stop. Instead, they continued uphill. If they lingered too long and it got too late when they came down the mountain, they might encounter something bad. After all, they didn't want to get involved in the events of this instance.
The two of them walked towards the top of the mountain at a fast pace, reaching the summit in less than half an hour. Sure enough, as soon as they reached the top, they found that the view was extremely open, with nothing around them that could possibly obstruct their view.
Lin Leyou pointed ahead, "There's even a swing over there where tourists can lie down and look at the stars."
These swings near the viewing platform had no obstructions above them, making them perfect for resting and enjoying the scenery. They walked over and randomly picked a swing. The two of them sat on the swing, half-lying down so they could look at the sky. Xue Rui held Lin Leyou's hand and placed it on his stomach.
