Chapter 20: There's Still Room If You Squeeze Away
As for news from other people, he ignored it all.
People who are familiar with him also understand his character, so he sent the message just to join in the fun.
Bu Qianli wanted to take advantage of this free time to talk to Chi Dong alone.
After all, there were quite a lot of people staring at them right now. As far as he knew, there were already quite a few groups of people who wanted to see the excitement and bought the prop 'Thousand Mile Tracking' to come find them.
Fortunately, the use of "Thousand Mile Tracking" is limited to the same coordinate area. The map of "Heroes" is large and the area is dense, so it will take time for them to catch up.
Bu Qianli's guess was completely correct. Now the group of onlookers in the world were trying to track them in each area. Even Jiang Ying, who was kicked out by him, was looking for them.
After spending some time clearing out the monsters in the area, Bu Qianli turned around and saw Chi Dong digging herbs and the ground happily. It seemed that he didn't care at all why he was angry just now.
There is a special mechanism when collecting herbs in "Heroes", that is, every time you collect an herb, a layer of mud will appear on the hands and face of the game character.
Because of this, many female players are not willing to upgrade the pharmacist profession level.
Bu Qianli was so angry that he laughed at the sight of Dongdong hiding with his face covered in dirt.
He didn't expect that 'she', as a female player, would be so obsessed with collecting herbs. If it were another girl, she would have avoided it long ago.
He walked over helplessly, squatted down and handed over a white handkerchief.
“…Wipe your face.”
As the voice was heard, a trading column popped up on Chidong's game interface.
[System] Players will be given an ordinary handkerchief for every person they kill in 10 steps. Do you agree? [Yes/No]
Chi Dong finally came back to his senses from the ecstasy of collecting, hesitated for a while, moved the mouse and clicked "Yes", agreeing to his gift.
Because he just looked at the backpack for a while, he really didn't have any handkerchiefs left. If he wanted to buy one, he needed to go back to the non-combat area where there was a grocery store selling goods.
[Team] Dongdong hid: Thank you for the handkerchief, I will give you a new one next time.
"…Need not."
Bu Qianli didn't care about a mere handkerchief. He cared more about the inexplicable sense of familiarity that Dongdong's hiding gave him.
"And this, take it too."
[System] Players will be given Wings of Time (wing ornaments) for every 10 steps they kill. Do you agree? [Yes/No]
A trading column popped up in front of Chi Dong's screen, and on it was the rare pendant that dropped from the dungeon just now - the Wings of Time.
This time he didn't dare to click the "Agree" button, and hurriedly clicked "No" with a panicked look on his face. He would not accept such a valuable gift without any effort.
They said that this pendant is especially wanted by many female players, but the drop rate is very low, so once this kind of pendant appears at the auction, it will be sold out in seconds.
Most of the players who snatch it are male players. After all, it is hard to win the smile of a beautiful woman with a lot of money. Only rare pendants can make female players look at you with respect.
In order to obtain the "Wings of Time", some players hired special teams to farm it, while others waited in auctions to pick up bargains.
As for why the great god gave it to him, he didn't know the reason.
[Team] Dongdong hid: I can’t accept it, it’s too expensive.
Bu Qianli ignored her refusal and said in a tone that brooked no argument.
“…Take it.”
[Team] Dongdong hid: No, it really can’t be collected.
Chi Dong and the master have only known each other for a few days. If he suddenly accepted such a valuable gift, and if other people knew about it, it would definitely make the headlines on the forum.
He doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing again. The last incident happened not long ago. If it makes the headlines again this time, I'm afraid he will really be confirmed as the third party who "meddles".
Bu Qianli was silent for a while, then smiled softly, "It's not given to you for free. The subsequent missions require both of us to have wings."
Chi Dong opened the forum with some suspicion, wanting to find relevant information.
Why are there missions that require wings?
After searching around, he actually found several posts that involved wings. Some players even posted on the forum to criticize the game planner because they did not cause the mission to fail.
Since it was really required by the mission, he had no choice but to click the "Agree" button.
[Team] Dong Dong hid: ...Then I will return it to you after the mission is completed, or pay you the same price, but Master, you...
"Me what?"
Chi Dong hesitated for a while, then endured the shame and typed the question.
[Team] Dong Dong hid: Can you let me pay in installments? I will work hard to earn money and pay you back.
Bu Qianli was at a loss for words because of what she said.
"Let's talk about this later. There's no rush now."
Bu Qianli remembered that he was quite busy these past two days and couldn't help her level up, so he thought of asking Jiang Ying to help.
"I have something to do and won't be playing the next two days. If you encounter any difficulties, go find Po Ying."
[Team] Dongdong hid: It doesn’t matter, I have to go to a lecture tomorrow and can’t play the game.
Lecture?
Bu Qianli was stunned. Could the lecture that Chi Dong was talking about be the one he was going to give?
Is it really such a coincidence?
However, this is just Bu Qianli's guess, and it does not necessarily mean that they are really participating in the same event.
A trace of deep thought flashed across Bu Qianli's brows, and when he was about to say something, suddenly a beautiful figure dropped from the sky and appeared between the two of them.
The name hanging above her head was - Su Nisheng.
——The world chat interface also reached a climax again because of Su Nisheng’s appearance.
[World] Golden Pineapple: Everyone, let me tell you a very exciting news.
[World] News Network: What's the news? Tell me quickly.
[World] I’m here to eat melons again: That’s right, why are you beating around in circles? Let me be clear in advance, I won’t eat anything that’s not a big melon [cracks melon seeds].

[World] Immature Snail: There is no space on the left, please move back a little.
