Chapter 170: Neck and Neck
Chapter 170: Neck and Neck
Xu Xiangbei played Ancient Moon Red Dust for another half an hour, feeling anxious and on edge, finally barely leveling up twice.
As a newbie to the game, Xu Xiangbei had little experience, few coins, and his equipment was so weak it was embarrassing. He couldn’t even afford potions to replenish mana or health and couldn’t possibly defeat those high-level monsters.
After dying countless times, Xu Xiangbei felt depressed. Playing games was supposed to be fun, but getting utterly defeated by the computer was just frustrating.
He suddenly had an idea and, with a mischievous smile, called Liu Ningyan: "Ning Yan, do you have any cheat items? Leveling up one level at a time is so boring. I want to instantly level up by dozens or become invincible or something. How about it?"
Liu Ningyan’s sleepy and wistful voice came through the phone: "Big brother, I finally felt sleepy and wanted to catch some sleep, but you woke me up."
Xu Xiangbei complained: "This Ancient Moon Red Dust game is pretty fun, but the leveling up is so slow. Hehe, give me a cheat tool, I’ll treat you to a meal at the Marriott for a big feast."
"I don’t have anything for now, but I know a system gold coin command that bypasses the game’s rules to sneakily fetch coins. With coins, you can buy equipment and health potions and roam freely on the Ancient Moon Continent. But I can’t remember the command right now, I need to go to sleep."
"Remember to give me the command tomorrow, otherwise I refuse to make any investments."
As soon as Xu Xiangbei said he refused to invest, Liu Ningyan had already hung up the phone, entering her instant sleep mode.
Looking at his miserable record in the game, Xu Xiangbei no longer felt like playing and muttered to himself: "Once I sneak the coins, buy good gear and weapons, then I’ll come back to deal with you guys. Now Lao Zi needs to sleep."
Xu Xiangbei was too tired as well and had a dream in which he truly became the Shadow Emperor in Ancient Moon Red Dust, sitting in the splendid Golden Mountain Hall.
And Liu Ningyan, Ding Keke, Sun Jiajia, and the Gu Family Sisters all stood respectfully beside him.
Sun Jiajia served tea and fed him delicious grapes, Liu Ningyan fanned him to stay cool, Ding Keke massaged his back and legs, while the Gu Family Sisters danced and played music for him.
He couldn’t help but laugh heartily, then suddenly felt a pain in his ear as Ding Keke, who was supposed to be massaging his back, was actually fiercely twisting his ear.
He woke up suddenly, realizing it was just a dream. He was lying on the sofa, and Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia were standing before him with disgruntled expressions. Ding Keke had just pulled back her hand.
Still immersed in the beautiful dream, Xu Xiangbei lazily said from the sofa: "My beloved concubines, why aren’t you serving me? What do you intend by waking me up?"
Smack, Ding Keke hit him again and scolded: "Put some clothes on. The fact that we didn’t kick you out last night is already good enough, and here you are, only in your underwear on the sofa. Have you no shame?"
Only then did Xu Xiangbei realize he was sleeping in just his underwear, with his hairy legs exposed. A bit embarrassed, he sat up on the sofa: "I was so tired last night, I forgot to go back to my room and fell asleep in the living room. Sorry about that."
Whoosh, a cushion flew over, accompanied by Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia’s screams: "Put your pants on right now, or I’m grabbing the scissors."
"Aren’t you overreacting a bit? This is just a natural biological response for us men."
Xu Xiangbei finished dressing and headed to the dining area. The blush on Sun Jiajia and Ding Keke’s faces had not completely faded. On the dining table, there were pancakes, noodles, spicy and sour soup, and some breakfast items ready.
Xu Xiangbei sat down and started eating: "You really are my wonderful concubines, knowing that I was hungry and preparing breakfast."
Ding Keke and Sun Jiajia sat down at the table, and Ding Keke gave Xu Xiangbei a glare: "It wasn’t us who prepared it; Liu Ningyan made the breakfast."
Xu Xiangbei was quite surprised: "Where is she?"
Sun Jiajia said: "She and Chen Xin have already gone to school. Did you think everyone was as lazy as you, getting up only when the sun is already high?"
Only then did Xu Xiangbei notice that it was already 9 a.m.
"Aren’t you guys the same as me, not going to work either?"
Sun Jiajia laughed: "I’m attending a fashion show tonight, so I have to prepare outfits and don’t need to go to work today."
Ding Keke shook her head helplessly: "Big brother, the two of us have to go to Jiangcheng University for our last duty shift today. Of course, I have to go with you. Without a doctor, it’s just me, a nurse. Does that make sense?"
Xu Xiangbei felt a bit regretful: "The last duty shift, our campus aid activity is finishing up?"
Xu Xiangbei still felt a bit unsatisfied, still thinking about the charming and lovely Teacher Chu Xiaoran, wanting to play badminton with her. When playing with her, her firm, attractive curves were enough to dazzle anyone, igniting their passion.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s reluctance, Ding Keke smiled happily: "Don’t want to leave, huh? What has got our Divine Doctor Xu pining away, is it Teacher Chu? Even if you’re not a campus doctor anymore, you can still ask her out. Isn’t that your strong suit?"
Xu Xiangbei ate his breakfast messily and replied cheekily: "Am I good at it? Actually, I’m least skilled at dating girls, never succeeded once. And with Nurse Ding and Jiajia around, no beauty can catch my eye."
Sun Jiajia chuckled: "Dr. Xu’s words are quite charming; any girl would be tempted upon hearing them, though they don’t quite work on me."
Having finished breakfast, Xu Xiangbei took Ding Keke to Jiangcheng University, getting ready for their last duty shift.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei in a new silver Porsche, Ding Keke was surprised: "When did you switch cars? This one is even better looking than that red Ferrari."
"Thanks for the compliment, it’s a brand new car. How does it feel sitting in it?"
Ding Keke lay back against the leather seat, looking satisfied and said with a smile: "Very comfortable."
Nearing Jiangcheng University, when the entrance could already be seen in the distance, a silver Porsche with an engine roaring like thunder drove alongside Xu Xiangbei.
Chu Xiaoran was sitting inside, wearing sunglasses, with a stern expression, glancing sideways at him.
Teacher Chu was drawn to Xu Xiangbei’s Porsche, recognizing it as a limited edition, surpassing her car’s class.
Through the car window, seeing Xu Xiangbei, she waved at him, smiling warmly.
Excited to have captured Teacher Chu’s attention, Xu Xiangbei beamed and blew her a kiss.
Teacher Chu wasn’t offended but instead was amused by his gesture and laughed uncontrollably. Her high heels lightly pressed on the accelerator, speeding past Xu Xiangbei.
