Three tall women emerged from the dark alley.
Liu Xu pinched her thigh hard to hold back her laughter: "Brother Lin, no one will recognize you dressed like this."
Lin Hu, of course, noticed Liu Xu's situation. He was in an awkward position and didn't bother to say anything to her.
Lin Hu waved his hand and cleared his throat: "Alright, we still have almost two hours. Let's go find some missions and see what we need to buy."
"Okay, Brother Lin, I'll go by myself then." Liu Xu nodded, glancing at the person behind Lin Hu out of the corner of her eye.
She was tall and slender with clear eyes and brows; all she could see now were her eyes and brows.
The moment their eyes met, the other person turned their head away without even realizing it.
Liu Xu felt a little confused, thinking that she was staring at people and making them uncomfortable.
After Liu Xu left, Wen Mofei quickly stepped forward, hooked his arm around Lin Hu's shoulder, and whispered, "Who was that beautiful woman just now?"
"Huh?" Lin Hu turned to look at the other person in confusion, only then remembering that Wen Mofei and Liu Xu were a couple.
According to the original storyline, the two should have met for the first time two years later, but this time it happened earlier because of him.
It seems that Wen Mofei has feelings for Liu Xu. Could it be love at first sight?
"My friend, what's wrong?" Lin Hu pretended not to notice the other person's thoughts and asked casually.
"What's her name?" Wen Mofei asked again.
"When they were here, why didn't you go up and ask? What are you doing now?" Lin Hu scolded the other person, his smile ambiguous.
Wen Mofei didn't say anything, and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Let me warn you, he's only 17." Lin Hu didn't say anything too blunt, just hinted that he was still a minor and would have to wait until he came of age to do anything.
"Yes, I know."
...
Lin Hu wondered if it was because of Cheng Yuan's special ability, but the tasks the three of them did afterward were all simple and easy.
How to help people mind their stalls, play with children, and feed chickens and ducks.
Meanwhile, the other players were getting anxious because they couldn't find him, unaware that Lin Hu was actually watching over a stall they had visited.
While doing a mission, Lin Hu discovered that he could buy live livestock from the locals, so he added some more animals to his island.
Buy one or two pairs of whatever you can get: free-range chickens, pheasants, wild chickens, ducks, geese.
After a successful harvest, he found about 20 different kinds of items, bringing him one step closer to upgrading his island.
The current situation is: livestock farming (38/50), crops (47/50).
[Ding! Attention players! The dragon boat race is about to end, three minutes remaining. Rankings will be announced at the top of the regional in-game page tomorrow morning.]
[Ding! Player, please...]
After being prompted three times, Lin Hu quickly handed over all the rice dumplings he had to Duan Linzhou.
He didn't know if this counted, but he only had about 60 zongzi, while Duan Linzhou had 157.
The other person, like him, had also been up the mountain and returned.
However, compared to other players who consistently complete tasks, they are still somewhat lacking.
[One minute countdown! 59, 58, 57...]
Lin Hu was standing at the street corner waiting for the countdown to end when a figure ran past him, stumbling slightly.
Lin Hu instinctively reached out and grabbed the other person's arm to support him.
"Are you alright..." Lin Hu's remaining words choked in his throat as he looked at the person he was supporting.
Qin Yaoyao!
Lin Hu was puzzled. Last time at sea, he thought the other party was doomed, but he didn't expect to meet him here now.
"You...it's you!" Qin Yaoyao wanted to say something, but she froze when she turned to look at the person who had helped her up.
Their eyes met, and she recognized Lin Hu.
Qin Yaoyao's eyes instantly filled with resentment and malice. She wanted to make Lin Hu pay for all the trouble she had endured.
[Countdown in ten seconds: 10, 9, 8...]
When Lin Hu saw that the other person was trying to hit him with the basket she was carrying, she immediately let go of the other person's arm.
Qin Yaoyao hadn't quite regained her balance when Lin Hu suddenly let go. She lost her balance and staggered a few steps before finally standing still.
When she turned to look at Lin Hu, she saw that he was also looking down at her, his eyes devoid of emotion and his face expressionless.
[Countdown: 3, 2, 1!]
In the last second, Lin Hu only saw Qin Yaoyao throw the basket in her hand at him without hesitation.
Fortunately, the countdown had ended, and the basket pierced through his body and slammed into the wall behind him.
The white light disappeared, and Lin Hu was already on his raft, with Duan Linzhou beside him.
this……
What deep-seated hatred? What profound grudge?
They even threw away the supplies they had in their hands.
Lin Hu said he didn't understand Qin Yaoyao's anger.
“You…” Duan Linzhou looked at Lin Hu’s face, speechless.
Lin Hu was well aware of how awful her current makeup was: thick eyebrows, bright red lips, and a face that looked like a monkey's bottom.
He was surprised that Qin Yaoyao could recognize him at a glance. Could it be that she studied his appearance every day?
"I'm going to wash my face," Lin Hu said, and quickly left. He hadn't even taken off this embarrassing makeup at the last second!
Duan Linzhou didn't go upstairs with them; instead, he sorted the items and put them in the warehouse on the first floor.
Lin Hu went straight to his room and took a shower. He had sweated a lot while hiking and still felt uncomfortable.
It was hot, so after he finished showering, he changed into a set of summer pajamas.
He went downstairs to make something to eat. It had been almost nine hours since he boarded the "dragon boat" in the afternoon, and he had only eaten some tea and pastries along the way. Now he was craving some hot food.
"You're downstairs. I'm going to cook some noodles. Would you like some?" Duan Linzhou said gently as he looked at Lin Hu coming in from outside the kitchen.
He also took a shower and came downstairs faster than Lin Hu; he was already boiling water.
"Hmm, have some." Lin Hu saw that someone was doing it for him, so he didn't have to lift a finger and didn't care what he ate.
Lying on the sofa, I hugged Boss Zhou and masturbated.
After they finished eating, they went back to their room to sleep. It was very late, so they decided to talk about everything when they woke up the next day, and it would also be good time to wait for the dragon boat rankings.
However, Lin Hu did not expect that what would wake him up the next day was not an alarm clock, but Duan Linzhou, who was up early, knocking on his door.
Lin Hu, with her hair all messy, went to open the door, her eyes not fully open yet: "What's wrong?"
Duan Linzhou lowered his eyes and reached out to tidy the other person's hair: "My dad told me that we've encountered an island and made a contract with it. He asked if we want to go and take a look now."
"Now? How do we get there?" Lin Hu asked, forcing himself to stay awake, his voice still hoarse from just waking up.
"Summoning cards." Duan Linzhou took out two summoning cards and showed them to Lin Hu.
"Where did this come from?" Lin Hu asked in surprise for a moment, then reached out and took it.
He's only ever gotten one summon card so far; I wonder which lucky person got it.
“My dad gave it to me; he bought it at the trading market,” Duan Linzhou said.
"Are there people selling this in the trading market?" Lin Hu asked curiously. If they didn't keep it for themselves but put it up for sale, the price must be quite high.
