After that week, they took another week off.
Lin Xi returned to her dorm, took off her mask, and was in an extremely good mood. She took out her phone, put on her earphones, and started playing music again.
After many days, her face was finally free again!
Once the three of them leave, I won't have to hide it anymore!
She'll have to go out on the street with that face on her back, just in case someone recognizes her brother. With her face that's about 60% similar to his, people will probably be able to tell at a glance that they're siblings.
However, Lin Xi's plan backfired.
For two months, their group did nothing but train, rest, and receive missions.
However, although this kind of life is a bit boring, all of them except Yang Qiwen have already leveled up and obtained the Silver Badge.
Yang Qiwen fiddled with her nails, not paying any attention to these things.
Chen Jin looked at her with a hint of worry in his eyes. Yang Qiwen raised her head, and for a fleeting moment when their eyes met, she smiled at him.
Chen Jin then realized that she really had no interest in these things. She probably joined the Wind Eagle Gang just because she was afraid of being bored by herself, so she joined to pass the time.
"Worried about her? No need. She's heartless." Uncle Lin saw through his little scheme and called him out on it directly.
Chen Jin couldn't resist being teased, and in no time, his ears turned bright red.
Uncle Lin burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Xu Youjia turned around, a barely perceptible smile playing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Jin became even more embarrassed. Fortunately, another person involved was hiding in the shade because the sun was too strong, so the situation didn't get any more awkward.
"By the way, just yesterday, Jiang Chuan's dark elemental ability leveled up to level four," Xu Youjia suddenly said.
Chen Jin's face was full of envy. He awakened his superpower relatively late and didn't have an advantage. After reaching level three, he did feel the difficulty of continuing to level up.
Lin Xi didn't speak. Her mental control had reached level four a little earlier than Jiang Chuan's, but the price she paid was extremely high.
The crystal cores she had stored in her magical pocket were almost gone.
For some unknown reason, based on previous experience, her Soul Search should have reached level three by now, but it has remained at level two without any progress.
The system explained that each time a new superpower is acquired, upgrading that new superpower becomes more difficult than before.
However, the system also said that, generally speaking, it's just that the upgrade takes a little longer, and it shouldn't consume more crystal cores.
Lin Xi sighed. She had squandered all her family's wealth! Now there was no one to unconditionally pay for her things. Come to think of it, she actually missed them.
These days, missions are mostly group missions, and she's always with everyone, so she doesn't have much extra time to hunt wild animals to replenish her gold reserves.
I heard that only those who possess a Gold Badge can accept independent missions, but I wonder how long that will take?
Lin Xi sat by the window, propping her head up with her hand, lost in thought.
What are you thinking about?
Yang Qiwen held a cup of coffee and leaned against the table.
"I'm wondering, when the zombie outbreak first started, they already had gold badges and even gem badges. How did they manage to get them so easily back then?"
Yang Qiwen smiled and said, "Little sister, you're overthinking it. When the zombie outbreak first started, everyone was in a state of panic. The ones who survived were all elites."
“But you’re right, upgrading your badge will only get harder now, since there are more competitors.” She took a small sip and looked out the window.
Lin Xi then realized, "Sister Wen, didn't you have an appointment today?"
Yang Qiwen smiled meaningfully, "Yes, but girls shouldn't be in too much of a hurry when going on a date."
"Why?"
"Why so many questions? You'll understand when you start dating in a couple of years."
Yang Qiwen's makeup was exquisite, and she had already changed her clothes. Yet, she appeared calm and composed, sipping her coffee slowly and leisurely.
Lin Xi shook her head. At this moment, Chen Jin was probably as anxious as a monkey.
Wow, that's high-level. But isn't this woman overthinking things for Teacher Chen?
He's incredibly honest and simple-minded; if he waited too long, he'd probably think something had happened to her and would rush over to knock on the door in the next second.
After finishing her coffee, Yang Qiwen tidied her hair again, picked up her small bag, and went out.
Lin Xi followed the sound until there was a clang, then she gradually looked away and turned her gaze back to the cup of coffee.
"Won't Chen Jin be completely under Sister Wen's thumb now?"
Are you kidding me?
Xu Youjia came out of the room at some point, glancing indifferently at the cup of coffee.
Do you know what the benefits of coffee are?
Lin Xi was a little puzzled, "Isn't everyone aware of that? It's a pick-me-up!"
Xu Youjia shook her head, "Women who are trying to lose weight love this the most; it can reduce water retention."
Lin Xi was taken aback, vaguely remembering that this function seemed to exist.
"You actually believed her nonsense?" Xu Youjia scoffed. "She's a fraud! She got up early this morning, all nervous, to try on clothes, put on makeup, and get her hair done. And she still has the nerve to lie to young girls!"
Lin Xi felt like her brain wasn't working properly!
What's the meaning?
Yang Qiwen actually values this date more than she appeared to.
I tried on a lot of clothes?
So she drinks coffee just to reduce water retention and make herself feel better?
What a mess! Who's got the upper hand over whom?
Wow! That's so exciting!
"But Sister Wen looks like someone who's been through a lot in relationships!" Lin Xi still couldn't believe it.
Xu Youjia scoffed, "Little sister, don't you follow celebrities? Don't you know what a persona is?"
She doesn't pursue him, but her roommate does, and she knows a little bit about that.
"Like the fake persona that idols create?"
“Yang Qiwen has been beautiful since she was a child, and she has too many suitors. She likes to pretend that she has never been in a relationship.” Xu Youjia glanced at her and said, “Only outsiders like you are fooled by her.”
"Huh? So when she first flirted with Chen Jin, was she just building up her persona?"
Xu Youjia thought for a moment, "No, she really likes this kind of gentle and delicate type."
Lin Xi felt deceived.
What is truly real left in this world?
She used to regard Yang Qiwen's views on love as gospel truth! She worshipped her! So she was just naively foolish?
Oh my god, thank goodness, I haven't had a chance to learn it yet!
If you learned this, you could probably persuade your crush to go out of your way.
Indeed, the ancients' saying that mutual affection is the truth.
However, on second thought, Sister Wen was actually quite successful, after all, she really managed to get this melon out of the water.
