Chapter 37 The Heart of a Simp
After finishing his instant noodles, Pei Xiu looked at the leftover seafood porridge and felt that he couldn't go on like this any longer, so he and Zhou Hang went out to the mission hall to accept a mission.
He's a speed-based ability user, while Zhou Hang is a water-based ability user. To be honest, speed-based abilities aren't very useful at level one; at most, they just mean you can run faster than others when escaping.
As for water-based ability users, they are quite important, but unfortunately, the Southern Province base is not short of water, after all, it is located near the sea.
So the two of them were stuck in a mediocre situation, which was rather miserable.
They can't accept missions with many crystal cores, and they look down on missions with few crystal cores. They're really being a bit too ambitious and unrealistic.
After being brutally beaten by seafood, he finally faced reality and decided to get rich through hard work.
As soon as he arrived at the mission hall, Zhou Hang spotted a flash of white. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the same sick woman he had encountered earlier.
Pei Xiuzheng was calculating how many missions he needed to take on to level up his superpower to level two when Zhou Hang pulled him to look at something not far away: "Hey, is there really someone so reckless? Look at the way those men are looking at her, they're practically ready to tear her apart, tsk tsk tsk, what do you think she did..."
Before he could finish speaking, the reckless woman turned around and looked at him. Their eyes met, and she exclaimed, "Holy crap! Am I seeing things?"
"Indeed, she actually dared to come to the market alone wearing a skirt. Although she may be powerful, one must know that there are always people stronger than you, and there's always something beyond your reach. Can she claim to be the strongest in the base? No, she should just honestly and stealthily develop her strength, otherwise..."
"Smack—"
Zhou Hang covered his face and looked at Pei Xiu in disbelief: "Brother Xiu, why did you hit me for no reason?"
"How can you talk like that? My sister is the strongest. What's it to you if she wears a skirt?"
Zhou Hang was completely bewildered. Sis?
Is Brother Xiu trying to latch onto that woman? Has he finally decided to become a gigolo and skip twenty years of hard work?
Zhou Hang looked at Pei Xiu with a complicated expression: "Brother Xiu, you..."
"sister!"
Then he saw Xiu Ge, the man in his mind who was unmoved by poverty and unyielding to power, pounce on the woman like a peacock, all flamboyant and showy.
Zhou Hang: "..."
Although this woman is much prettier than that powerful figure in the base, you can't compare them like that. Look how thin she is; touching her feels like touching a bone.
Zhou Hang stated that his complaints were definitely not due to jealousy!
Some people don't want to be kept by a woman because they don't want to, but some people, guess what? They don't want to be kept by a woman because they can't afford to.
Zhou Hang is the one who can't have it.
Thinking this, he quickly ran over. What if the female boss didn't like people who were too flashy and preferred someone as handsome as him?
Ling Ran never expected that a casual glance would lead her to the younger brother that the original owner had been longing to find.
In the original owner's heart, even her own mother was not as important as her younger brother.
However important, she was not the original owner of this body, so when Pei Xiu lunged at her, Ling Ran slightly dodged, and he missed.
Pei Xiu didn't pay attention; instead, he exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, it really is you! Why are you wearing a skirt? It looks so good!"
The original owner rarely wore skirts because she was too thin. Whenever she went out, people would point and whisper that she was as thin as skin and bones.
Zhou Hang, who had just run over: "..."
That's not what you just said.
I never expected that you, Xiu-ge, would have such a simp-like heart.
Ling Ran looked up at him: "What are you doing here?"
No wonder Pei Yi couldn't find him; it turns out Pei Xiu had run off to Y City.
