Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Wen Qian is very enthusiastic about his cooking skills...
Wen Qian was well aware of her cooking skills. While eating, she didn't even look at the other dishes, but stared at the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table.
After dinner, Jiang Zhi discovered that the layout of his neighbor's house seemed to be different from his own.
I always feel a little cramped.
Is it because there are too many rooms that the living room looks smaller? Jiang Zhi guessed. After all, it was someone else's home renovation, so he couldn't ask about it, so he simply kept this doubt in his heart.
"What happened just now." He paused, somewhat fixated on the other person's earlier words about expanding the house. "If you want to bring others home, it's best to do it when your family is present."
"But I live alone." Wen Qian said casually. After he finished speaking, she raised her head in confusion. And where did the other people come from? Him?
Live alone?
Jiang Zhi frowned, finally realizing the subtle sense of incongruity. From the moment he came in until now, every piece of furniture he saw looked like the style that someone living alone would choose.
But having said that, the layout of this house seems a bit strange.
There are two households on one floor, so her house should be about the same size as his.
Jiang Zhi didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know that as long as he opened his mouth, the girl in front of him would tell him the truth.
——For example, the different sizes are because the house still needs some space for further upgrades.
Of course, the home system cannot be capped at just one level, there must be some room left, so that players can work hard for the game... ahem, keep working hard.
When he was leaving, he stood at the door and caught a glimpse of a not-so-obvious blue light near the girl's ear from the corner of his eye.
"Thank you, the food you cooked is delicious." Jiang Zhi listened to the footsteps of Wen Qian following closely behind him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little.
"If you need any help in the future, you can come to me." He lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the girl's face. "...The earrings are very beautiful and suit you very well."
"Really?" Wen Qian's eyes curved, "It's really good."
She said happily: "Someone gave it to me. Oh, by the way, you know him too."
"Chu Lingyu picked it."
The player agreed with the NPC's taste and said that she was really good at giving compliments. She even praised the best equipment on her. She had good taste.
Jiang Zhi's expression paused for a second, then he naturally passed over the topic.
"It's too late, let's go home first." He did not enter his own front door, but prepared to wait for Wen Qian to come home before going in.
As he watched the girl's back completely disappear, the faint smile on Jiang Zhi's face slowly faded.
Was it given by Chu Lingyu?
No wonder it's so dazzling, that's all his taste is.
The relaxed mood he felt when spending time with the girl completely disappeared at this moment. Jiang Zhi slowly repeated her name in his heart, Wen Qian.
Chu Lingyu’s girlfriend?
This is really... He bent his knees and leaned against the window, and suddenly the girl's surprised look as she stood on the balcony and looked at him appeared in his mind.
The sound of the night wind whistling outside the window was blocked by the glass. In the silent room, one could almost hear the mixed sounds of heartbeats and blood flowing.
Jiang Zhi lay on the bed, his cold expression revealing no inner turmoil.
"It seems like I should keep my distance from her." Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes, as if talking to himself, "She's someone else's girlfriend."
But... he lazily raised his arm and placed it on his forehead. When he met her, he didn't know that she was Chu Lingyu's girlfriend.
She didn't seem to like the guy that much either.
There's really nothing to like about that guy.
——————
As the monthly exams approached, the atmosphere in the academy became slightly different. For Wen Qian, this change had only a small impact on her.
That is, the tasks assigned by NPCs have changed.
Previously, the number of tasks that could be accepted in the academy was limited, and it was always the same few NPCs issuing tasks.
The monthly exam is coming soon, and there are a lot more people posting tasks, most of which are related to the monthly exam.
Looking for books, teaching difficult problems, and occasionally having to find time to skip classes, Xiao Wen's daily life is really a bit too busy.
All this busyness was not without any reward. At least it gave her wallet, which had been squeezed to the point of being left with only a sliver of blood after the house upgrade, some breathing space.
Carefully avoiding the patrolling student union members, Wen Qian waved to the white shadow on the tree.
A pigeon with the label "Mailbox" flew down and landed on Wen Qian's arm with the college newspaper.
Although it is the college daily newspaper, perhaps because the mailbox is lazy or for some other reason, this newspaper is not delivered on time every day. So far, Wen Qian has only received three copies.
The first one I got was when I drew the beggar profession. There was no important information in that newspaper, just some news about the activities in the college - such as what awards the various competitive clubs won.
Things like clubs had nothing to do with Wen Qian, so she simply treated the newspaper-taking as a way to make extra money - the recycling price for a newspaper was one gold coin.
It’s not much, but giving it away for free is making money.
At least it is much better than discarded cans that are sold by weight.
Recovering from his thoughts, Wen Qian looked down at today's newspaper handed to her by the [mailbox].
She vaguely remembered that the last newspaper seemed to have written a warning report about a student in the college falling in love with someone from another school and secretly bringing the person into the college.
The school rules of Holy Thorn are very relaxed and do not have high requirements on students' private lives. That person just violated Lu Yanbai's taboo - bringing people from other schools into the school without any notice, so he was warned.
This kind of gossip is also quite interesting. Wen Qian praised the writing style of the person who wrote the newspaper. Just a few simple lines can make people feel as if they are there.
It's much more interesting than information about award-winning societies. It would be better if there were more reports of this kind.
Picking up the newspaper, the first few prominent columns still contained the honors recently won by various schools. Wen Qian pretended not to notice anything that was not related to games and quickly scanned to the last column.
Xiao Wen, who was just preparing to see if there would be anything fun to watch this time, froze when he caught a glimpse of the purple shadow on the photo attached to the last column.
She quickly unfolded the newspaper and carefully read what was reported in the last column.
——Recently, a mysterious purple figure has appeared in the academy, roaming around. It's suspected to be a student prank, and it has attracted widespread attention...
In short, this purple figure has been targeted by the Student Union.
Who is he?
The player had a blank expression on his face: Mysterious businessman, why are you still here?
Is this thing actually a permanent NPC, rather than a limited-time NPC that is refreshed with important events?
The news that can be delivered to her should not be gossip reports, but most likely a metaphor for the game, such as what good goods have been refreshed in the cargo box of the game merchant.
Players who didn't think the mysterious merchant would be so embarrassed as to be hunted down by other ordinary NPCs believed that this was a hint from the game.
Wen Qian put away the newspaper, quietly walked around the student union members, and quickly headed towards the area where the mysterious businessman had been frequenting recently, as stated in the newspaper.
Perhaps because of the widespread attention it attracted, the mysterious businessman gave up his very unmysterious behavior of wandering around the road in front of the school gate.
Wen Qian wandered around for a long time before he found him.
—At that damn wisteria railing.
Looking at the mysterious businessman who was waving at her excitedly, Wen Qian walked towards him with dead eyes and couldn't help but say, "You really know how to find a place. We don't have to worry too much about being discovered here."
Not to mention the student union members, at least there is less threat from security.
After all, this place is specially marked by the system to block the security version of the truancy route.
"Sir, it's been a long time since we last met. I've been waiting for you." The mysterious businessman ignored Wen Qian's complaints and said his opening remarks.
"I don't know what you want to exchange from me. Haha, please note that I don't offer returns or exchanges on my goods."
Forget it. It's pointless to chat with this guy who obviously can't pass the human-computer test.
Wen Qian treated the person in front of him as just a cargo box that was refreshed everywhere. He opened the cargo panel and carefully studied the goods he brought.
Looking at the various stamina-boosting potions with strange and bizarre flavors, Wen Qian was somewhat disappointed.
She didn't need potions that could restore her strength. This was just a casual game, and she didn't need to save the world, so there was no point in stockpiling such things.
Moreover, the bowl of beef noodles that could increase her stamina was still in her backpack. Before using up this item, she would not waste money on buying stamina items.
Of course, it doesn't mean that she can't afford it, no.
Wen Qian, who thought there was nothing to buy this time, unconsciously quickened his breathing when he saw the last special item.
【Props——Mobile Phone
This item needs no introduction. As the name suggests, it is a mobile phone.
It doesn't need any sales pitch; just lying there is enough to attract Wen Qian's full attention.
There is no need to think about it anymore, now players only need to do one thing.
That means sacrificing your wallet to save your poor phone from the evil shipping box!
"How much?" Wen Qian looked at the mysterious businessman with a firm gaze. The businessman smiled slightly and made a gesture.
Not more, not less, just enough to empty Wen Qian's wallet.
After working hard for several days, we are back to the time before liberation.
Wen Qian closed her eyes and made up her mind. Facing the phone, she couldn't make any other choice.
I'm sorry, wallet. I won't let you go broke next time.
I'm sorry, noodle shop owner. Next time I will definitely consider upgrading the noodle shop first... Let's forget about this.
After handing over the money and receiving the phone, Xiao Wen turned around happily. Before he looked up, he heard a low cough.
Zhao Fu looked at Wen Qian and the mysterious businessman behind Wen Qian with a complicated expression.
Two people caught by the student union: ...
The player had never seen such a useless NPC. She was about to run away, but when she turned around, she saw that the mysterious businessman had actually followed Zhao Fu obediently.
She was so shocked that she slowed down and the road ahead was blocked.
Generally, small problems between students would not be reported to Lu Yanbai - he did not have the time to deal with these small matters.
But this time, several ordinary student union members who followed Zhao Fu unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Fu actually took Wen Qian to Lu Yanbai's lounge.
Along the way, Zhao Fu looked at Wen Qian several times with an indescribable look, which made Wen Qian a little impatient.
She turned her head to look at him: "Do you want to tell me something?"
He's opened his mouth several times, what on earth do he want to do?
Zhao Fu hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.
"You...are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Really?" Wen Qian asked in surprise.
She didn't even run away on the spot, but followed him here. Does this count as having a problem with him?
Of course, it cannot be denied that she followed here honestly because she received a new system task, so she gave up the option of abandoning the mysterious merchant and escaping alone.
"No?" Zhao Fu looked even more surprised than she was. He couldn't help but ask, "If you don't have a problem with me, then why do you pick those irises every day?"
God knows how he felt when he saw Wen Qian's undisguised act of picking flowers on the surveillance camera.
During the time he collected surveillance footage, he suspected a number of people, carefully observing each of them for several days, and each of them was suspicious.
However, the surveillance video slapped him in the face. The culprit turned out to be someone he never expected.
So many complicated emotions finally turned into one sentence - why is it her!
