Chapter 7: The Terrifying Strength of Top Experts
Name: Shu Yi
[Occupation: Archer]
[Level: Lv.65]
Looking at the player information displayed after the purchase, Lin Nanxing finally understood why Da Rong was afraid.
This guy has been dominating the desert for so long that he probably hasn't encountered a player of a higher level than himself. He's just bluffing.
"Can I go in now?"
A deep, magnetic male voice rang out, drawing Lin Nanxing's attention back. She hurriedly handed over the bracelet in her hand, "Of course, you can just swipe this bracelet on the sensor next to the door to go in. The showers and toilets inside are free to use."
As soon as the bracelet was handed to the man, a three-hour countdown began. After confirming it, the man turned around, grabbed his bow and arrows, and headed towards the pool area.
After watching the man's back disappear into the door, Lin Nanxing breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. She looked down at the banyan tree spirit hiding in the corner of the table and coaxed, "Alright, alright, he's already inside. He won't notice you. Come out now."
Lin Nanxing tried to coax the banyan tree spirit for a long time, but it refused to pay any attention to her and was clearly throwing a tantrum.
Lin Nanxing knew what was going on. She was just angry that she let people in before business hours, but when business comes, she couldn't just turn them away.
But seeing its contracted partner's fear of the strong, Lin Nanxing understood its emotional state and had no choice but to patiently squat down and reason with it.
"Da Rong, that's not right. This is a swimming pool, and we'll have a lot of customers coming in the future. Do you mean I should refuse entry to anyone who's better than you?"
"Besides, the more customers there are, the faster I can speed up the process, and the more water you can drink. Wouldn't that be better?"
The banyan tree spirit slowed its shaking of the branches, as if it were pondering the meaning of Lin Nanxing's words.
It was only eight o'clock in the morning, so Lin Nanxing wasn't in a hurry to do anything else. He patiently squatted on the ground and waited for the banyan tree spirit to come to its senses.
A familiar male voice sounded from above, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Boss, what are you doing?"
It was that extremely high-ranking guest who had returned. Lin Nanxing jumped up, and the banyan tree spirit, who had relaxed, shrank back into the corner once again.
She got up too quickly, causing insufficient blood supply, and Lin Nanxing suddenly felt dizzy. She closed her eyes and held onto the table, still remembering to greet the guests, "Excuse me, please wait a moment."
When she finally recovered and looked up to speak, she was so stunned by the beauty of the person in front of her that she was speechless.
When this guest named Shu Yi came in, he was completely wrapped in a protective suit, so Lin Nanxing couldn't see his face, but he could tell that his level was extremely high.
But now he has removed his protective suit, and his hair is still damp, obviously he has taken a shower. His face is a typical Eastern face, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a clear jawline, and a straight and well-defined nose.
If this person were to become a celebrity in peacetime, their face alone would be enough to attract a lot of fans.
Shu Yi was completely oblivious to the girl's amazed gaze. He rubbed his stomach and, seeing that the shop owner remained silent, he, who was not good with words, was forced to continue: "I heard that you also sell instant noodles here. I wonder if you still have any in stock?"
"Yes, yes, of course!" Lin Nanxing's backpack now contains 99 packs of instant noodles. With Da Rong as her precious treasure, she will never have to worry about not having instant noodles again.
Lin Nanxing deftly took out five instant noodle boxes, intending to use them as the quota for today's sales, but the man bought them all.
Seeing him eagerly start making instant noodles, his handsome face was still so good-looking that it was hard to look away, even when doing such a simple thing.
Lin Nanxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I also have a serving of braised pork and a bottle of beer here. Do you want some?"
Shu Yi's eyes lit up, and he replied without hesitation, "Yes."
This guy had only been here for less than an hour and had already spent 900 game coins. He was obviously not short of money, but Lin Nanxing didn't intend to rip him off. The price of braised pork and beer, as well as instant noodles, was 150 points per serving.
Shu Yi's only pursuit in life is food; making him eat that nutritious mud would be worse than killing him.
In order to buy those expensive foods in the system store, he hunted monsters desperately to earn game currency. Ten years of hard work made his combat level far surpass others.
Starry Territory was paradise to him.
One person received more game currency than expected, and another person got the food they had always dreamed of. Both were very happy, except for the banyan tree spirit who was still squatting in the corner trembling.
In the end, to Lin Nanxing's astonishment, Shu Yi finished three buckets of instant noodles, a large bowl of braised pork, and a bottle of beer. He even drank the broth from the instant noodles.
After eating and drinking his fill, Shu Yi planned to swim a few laps in the pool. When he stood up, Lin Nanxing subconsciously glanced at his stomach, which was still flat, as if he hadn't eaten anything.
Is this person's stomach connected to another space?
Shu Yi also noticed Lin Nanxing's gaze. He didn't understand the meaning in her eyes, but out of politeness, he nodded to her, then pushed open the swimming area gate and disappeared from Lin Nanxing's sight.
Lin Nanxing snapped out of her daze, awkwardly touching her neck and inwardly cursing herself. "Lin Nanxing, what are you doing?! Luckily, she has a good temper, otherwise, the way you were acting just now would have made her think you were a pervert."
Time slowly ticked by until 9:30. Looking at the still door, Lin Nanxing idly leaned against the service counter, swiping his fingers in circles.
Shu Yi had been in the swimming area for an hour and still hadn't come out. Seeing that the guy who was higher level than him was gone, the banyan tree spirit finally mustered up the courage to come out from the corner of the table.
Although it was a tree, Lin Nanxing could sense its cautiousness in its movements. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Da Rong, you're a level 50 powerhouse, how come you're so timid? Do you hide from everyone who's higher level than you?"
The banyan tree spirit understood her words, shook its branches indignantly, and then, as if trying to prove something, suddenly grew larger and leaped out of the gate.
"Huh?!" Lin Nanxing was caught off guard by its actions. He followed it out of the swimming pool and didn't have time to stop it. He could only watch it run away at high speed.
"Could this guy have gotten angry and just run away?"
Two minutes later, the enormous figure of the banyan tree spirit appeared in Lin Nanxing's sight. Just as Lin Nanxing was about to wave happily, he noticed that a bunch of things that were constantly moving were tied to its branches.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Nanxing realized it wasn't an unidentified object, but a living person. Terrified, she cried out, "Da Rong, who did you kidnap?!"
