14: That's a bit too fast for you.
Su Chen was lying down resting; within ten minutes, the door was opened.
Turning his head to see Yang Junlong returning, he thought he had forgotten something.
However, seeing the two girls who followed him in, he felt a bit depressed.
How much time has passed, and you've already swapped for two more?
Wait, isn't this Xia Weiyu?
The newcomer was none other than Xia Weiyu; the other one was slightly less attractive but still had her merits.
The main point was that this girl was clutching Xia Weiyu's arm; she must be her friend or roommate, as they wouldn't be this close if they had just met.
This Yang Junlong really knows how to find people, even specifically finding someone familiar with Xia Weiyu.
It's understandable that he went to find Xia Weiyu's friend, but this speed... ten minutes, including travel time.
Seeing Yang Junlong standing to the side with an air of seeking credit, he felt he hadn't guessed wrong.
This girl who followed along might be his teammate; as for becoming Yang Junlong's Girlfriend, the probability wasn't high.
After all, it had only been ten minutes, including the time wasted on the road.
But he realized he had overthought it.
Yang Junlong spoke first to introduce them:
"This is Xia Weiyu, Boss, you should know her.
This is her roommate and also my current Girlfriend, Wang Xiaoting. Boss, do you think she's suitable for going on missions with us?
We're all acquaintances, so it'll be convenient for operations."
Su Chen didn't know what to say.
Ten minutes!
Not even counting the travel time, you managed to win over Xia Weiyu's roommate in just a few minutes, turning her from a roommate into a Girlfriend?
I really suspect if you're the Reincarnation of a saint of love... "Sure, I have no objections."
Wang Xiaoting gave a series of thanks: "Thank you! Thank you!"
[Ding! Gained favorability from Xia Weiyu, lottery ticket +100.]
[Ding! Gained favorability from Wang Xiaoting, lottery ticket +0.05.]
lottery tickets: 731.31
Lottery Wheel: Blue Quality
Why can't I feel happy even though the Empress gave me lottery tickets this time? Have I become numb?
No, I have to figure this out.
Figure out exactly what Yang Junlong did during the time he was out!
...A short while ago,
In an eight-person female dormitory, Xia Weiyu pushed the door open and entered.
Several people inside were busy with their own things, either eating takeout or drinking milk tea while binge-watching shows.
They didn't pay much attention to Xia Weiyu in her tattered clothes, just as they couldn't be bothered to care about a Xia Weiyu who hadn't completed a mission after they had finished theirs.
Only one girl with long hair draping over her shoulders stepped forward and asked concernedly:
"Weiyu, how did you get injured like this?"
"It's nothing. I was sparring with someone, fell a few times, and my clothes got torn."
Xia Weiyu didn't say much more and started packing her toiletries.
"Sparring? This is clearly being beaten up."
Chen Lili, who was nearby, didn't forget to mock her:
"Probably begged around for a team and annoyed someone.
I told you long ago to give up quickly. You didn't listen, and now you're suffering the consequences."
"Have some decency with your words!"
Wang Xiaoting also packed her things and quickly followed: "Weiyu, wait for me. I'll go wash up with you."
"Xiaoting, are you back from a mission?"
"Ugh, don't mention it. My last mission failed... Can you imagine? Working hard for over a month only to fail in the end. It was all for nothing."
"Now I'm still short two missions, and it's probably hopeless. I can't count on the others.
Have you considered which ordinary university to go to? We can go together then."
"No, I think I can still try to salvage the situation."
Wang Xiaoting knew Xia Weiyu hadn't given up yet. Back when Xia Weiyu was inviting people everywhere, no one paid attention to her, and the others in the dorm ignored her too.
She wanted to help, but she was busy on a mission with another team at the time, so she was unable to:
"By the way, have you found a teammate?
If not, let's team up. Although I'm also a dead weight, at least I have some experience.
I can't guarantee mission completion, but I can at least take you through the process.
But you should think it over; after all, there are penalties for mission failure."
"I found a teammate today."
"Oh? How's their level? What's their name?"
"Su Chen. I don't know his level, but I imagine it shouldn't be bad."
"Oh... Who did you say? Su Chen, the rookie king of our batch?
You actually managed to team up with him? You've really struck gold!"
...Inside the bathhouse, steam swirled around. It was still afternoon, so it was relatively quiet with few people.
Two people sat in a corner; one was scrubbing the other's back.
A hand would occasionally reach toward the front, only to be stopped every time.
The wandering hand was caught red-handed.
Xia Weiyu let go of Wang Xiaoting's hand again and complained:
"I can wash the front myself."
Wang Xiaoting chuckled: "You're too much, even guarding against your own people.
I'm checking your wounds for you. Your clothes were so torn I thought you were badly hurt, but surprisingly there's not a single wound on your body.
Are you serious? You were injured during the mission assessment, and Su Chen gave you a healing potion.
It must be an Advanced healing potion, at least Intermediate. I've had Elementary ones, and the effect wasn't this good."
"Is it expensive?"
Xia Weiyu had only seen the price for Elementary healing potions in the records; she hadn't memorized the others and didn't know the prices, but she estimated it must be several thousand.
Wang Xiaoting continued scrubbing her back while saying:
"I know the prices. Intermediate ones are ten thousand each, and Advanced ones are a hundred thousand each.
According to you, the moment you drank it, the wounds healed visibly.
Even the broken ribs didn't hurt at all, and now your body feels even lighter than before the sparring.
This kind of situation is likely an effect only an Advanced healing potion could have.
Even if an Intermediate one could, it wouldn't be this fast.
Furthermore, at a hundred thousand each, Advanced healing potions are available on the market but priceless.
Because the recovery efficiency is so high, it can save a life when one is near death. Having an Advanced healing potion is like having an extra life.
This potion is high-end stuff; it works great, but the downside is its scarce production—demand exceeds supply.
Without some connections, forget buying it; you wouldn't even see it.
By the way, since you've had it, share the feeling with me.
Does the Advanced one make your whole body feel refreshed? After all, just one small sip is a hundred thousand!
My parents would have to go without food or drink for half a year to earn that. Among the boyfriends I've had, even the richest one didn't have the boldness to just give it away.
Giving away something so precious just like that.
I really didn't realize Su Chen was so rich. He's wealthy yet low-key, on a completely different level from those rich second-generation kids."
"One hundred thousand..."
Xia Weiyu never thought it would be so expensive. If she had known, she wouldn't have accepted it for anything; it was too valuable!
She had to quickly do missions to earn money and pay him back!
Seeing Xia Weiyu dazed, Wang Xiaoting saw an opportunity, tossed her washcloth aside, and launched a surprise attack.
This feel, this elasticity and softness are real—they're real, yet you're still being so secretive and won't let me touch them.
If I were your boyfriend, I'd definitely hold onto them every night and never let go.
"Ahhh! It hurts, stop pinching! Weiyu, I was wrong!
Stop pinching, it hurts!"
