In the center of Ningcheng, tall buildings soar into the sky. Between the potted plants and trees on the rooftop, a table of hot pot is placed. This table can be said to be "exclusively served". The hot pot restaurant downstairs specially sent a lobby manager and two
Waiter, there is no way. The Xu family is too rich. Almost half of the entire Ningcheng Center floor is owned by the Xu family. Therefore, the words of Xu Yan, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, will not matter to this hot pot restaurant.
It's almost like an imperial edict. As long as the eldest lady is happy, maybe the rent for the second half of the year can be waived.
…
Lin Zhao and Shen Xingchen came over.
"Ayan!"
Shen Xingchen greeted him with a smile, stepped forward and gave Leng Yan a big hug. He held Leng Yan's hand and sat down at the square hot pot table. Lin Zhao sat upright on the other side, watching the battle.
Feeling a little guilty, she said, "It's my first time to eat open-air hot pot. Is it a little more expensive to eat it on the rooftop?"
"What do you think?"
Shen Xingchen glanced at him and said: "Hot pot restaurants have no obligation to move tables to the rooftop and serve them. Besides, the rooftop of Ningcheng Center is not open to the public. Do you think anyone can get on it?"
Lin Zhao is angry, they are all evil capitalists.
Soon after, the hot pot started beeping, and everyone started to cook the food. Leng Yan asked someone to bring some beer, gave Lin Zhao two bottles, and said with a smile: "Pair hot pot with wine, the more you drink, the better."
"Hahaha~~~"
Lin Zhao laughed heartily and said: "This is a classic quotation from the old swordsman Han Buyu!"
"Um!"
Leng Yan nodded and smiled: "Actually, Xingchen and I also went to Baiweixuan's hot pot restaurant to show our appreciation. The taste is really good, but the food in the game is fake after all. It only has sensory stimulation but cannot really fill you up. This
No... now let’s really experience hot pot with wine.”
"good."
Lin Zhao and Shen Xingchen clinked their glasses together coldly, and immediately drank down the beer in one gulp. The hotness of the previous mouthful of shabu-shabu and the coldness of this beer were like the fifth heaven of ice and fire. It was really good to pair hot pot with wine. He raised his head
He glanced at Leng Yan and said with a smile: "Ayan, did you know? In fact, the old swordsman Han Buyu is still here."
"ah!?"
Leng Yan was slightly startled: "I remember... at the end of the plot of the closed beta version, the old swordsman was killed by the big demon Lu Yan. His head was screwed off, how could he still be there?"
"It is true that he died, but he survived with a different identity."
Lin Zhaodao: "Today's Old Sword Immortal Han is a Cloud Master, in the Tenth Realm of the Galaxy. He has retained a little bit of his strength. He has the body of a Yin God and conferred the title of Landscape God. This is a very common thing in the game background.
Last time I ate meat and drank wine with him on the snowy Tianchi Lake, Old Sword Immortal Han is really a wine wizard!"
Leng Yan chuckled: "Well, it's good to be alive. When Baidi City is opened in the future, I will personally go to the Snowy Tianchi to pay a visit to the old swordsman Han, but I don't know if he still recognizes me as a little character."
Lin Zhao smiled: "In the internal beta plot, Miss Leng is indeed a small character."
"well……"
Shen Xingchen held his forehead and secretly sighed. There was nothing he could do. With his own strength, there was really nothing he could say.
But Leng Yan was not angry, Li Duo just looked at Lin Zhao with a slight smile. After all, her presence was not very high during the internal beta test. Lin Zhao was telling the truth. Leng Yan had seen the world.
People, compared to those who tell lies to make themselves happy, Leng Yan prefers the truth shown in front of Lin Zhao's eyes. Fools like to listen to lies and compliments. Smart people always only pay attention to the essence of things.
"A while ago..."
Leng Yan gave Shen Xingchen a piece of snowflake beef and said: "As soon as the goblin treasure map was opened, all the major cities were in a fierce fight. I heard that your Scarlet Moon Knights were targeted by Xunxian. At that time, I even thought I will lead the Shengtian Guild to attack Tianji City for thousands of miles and help you seize S-level gemstone deposits, and then come back to continue fighting with Xinghe."
"No, thank you Ayan for your kindness."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Let us, the Scarlet Moon Knights, handle the matter in Tianji City by ourselves. If we can't pass this level, we won't be able to compete with the Xunxian Guild in the future."
"Um."
He smiled coldly and nodded: "It turns out that I was indeed overly worried. Xingchen was planning something in Tianji City, and the Xunxian Guild couldn't take advantage at all. The reason why I was worried about you was because I never thought that Wuwu Guild would be so obedient. I want to cooperate with you, the Knights of the Scarlet Moon, and I am willing to settle for second place and be satisfied with just one S-class oil refinery."
Shen Xingchen smiled slightly: "There is no way, our Scarlet Moon Knights' cooperative attitude is even lower, so Qingfeng Shumeijian has to be tempted. Needless to say, Xianbai definitely has never thought of giving any S-level resources to Wuwu. , and we, the Scarlet Moon Knights, have tried our best to win an S-class oil refinery, and are full of sincerity in cooperation. Qingfeng Shumeijian is not an idiot, so he naturally knows who to cooperate with will benefit more."
"yes."
Leng Yan said: "Currently, the situation in Tianji City is probably that of three pillars. Xunxian is currently the strongest, followed by Wuwu, and then the Scarlet Moon Knights, which is roughly equivalent to Wei, Shu, and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Fei The position of the Moon Knights is the Kingdom of Shu, and it was the moment when Jiangxia was defeated. It was really not easy to win the S-level gem mine at that time."
Lin Zhao chuckled: "Isn't it similar to how Liu Bei took Jingzhou?"
"almost!"
He smiled coldly and looked into Lin Zhao's eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes. He immediately did not dare to look at each other and shyly looked away. Lin Zhao was also a little flustered and lowered his head to continue eating. The food in this hot pot restaurant was indeed delicious.
"Ayan."
Shen Xingchen clinked glasses with Leng Yan and said, "As for Shengtian, the current situation seems not ideal. Both of Changle City's S-level resource mines have been taken over by Xinghe."
“Expected.”
Leng Yan smiled awkwardly and said: "After all, Xinghe is recognized by everyone as the ceiling of the Huaxia District. It is too strong. However, the degree of cooperation between our Shengtian, Jiuding, Luo Shenfu and other guilds is actually not high. The main force has been defeated several times. The galaxy has been washed away, and there is no way to fight it later. We can just get an A-grade mine, which is better than starving to death."
Shen Xingchen smiled slightly, raised his chopsticks and said, "Let me make it clear first that I have no plans for Xinghe this time!"
"Know."
But at this moment, Shen Xingchen's cell phone on the table rang, and the word "Su Xinghe" was displayed on it. It was Su Xinghe's call. He suddenly looked coldly, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "This ?”
"I don't know what happened..."
Shen Xingchen stood up, picked up the phone and said with a smile, "I'll answer the call and you guys can eat."
"Um!"
Lin Zhao nodded and continued to use chopsticks like flying.
Leng Yan looked at Shen Xingchen, then at Lin Zhao, and found that after Shen Xingchen went to answer Su Xinghe's call, Lin Zhao looked as usual, still cooking and drinking, not affected at all, and suddenly his cold face narrowed his beauty. He smiled lightly, that's right, although Xingchen's appearance is unparalleled in the world, my Lin Zhao can still handle it and will never be fooled by beauty.
Beside the rooftop, Shen Xingchen was wearing a shirt and short skirt, her hair was blown wildly by the wind, and she was incredibly beautiful.
"Senior?"
"Well, stars!"
Su Xinghe smiled on the phone and said, "Long time no see, so I gave you a call. How are you lately?"
"pretty good."
Shen Xingchen smiled and said: "I have lived in the Scarlet Moon Knights for a while, and I have become accustomed to the life here. Everyone treats me very well, and Lin Zhao is also very good to me. Senior, don't worry."
For a moment, Su Xinghe felt mixed and said, "Is Lin Zhao very nice to you?"
"Um."
Shen Xingchen smiled: "A shrewd and capable deputy leader fell from the sky, and he is also good-looking. Naturally, he is very good to me. He is even considerate of everything!"
"..."
A million grass-mud horses started a war and trampled on Su Xinghe's heart. The sound of hoofbeats was rolling. He tried his best to steady his mind and said: "As long as he treats you well, it doesn't matter. I just want to care about how you are doing.
Our development in Xinghe is now on the right track. There will be many more long-term plans in the future. You can come back anytime you want. The position of deputy leader has always been vacant for you. What I mean is... Xingchen, you can treat Xinghe as your natal family.
, come back if you want, we welcome you at any time.”
"ah?"
Shen Xingchen opened his mouth slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Senior, you asked me to regard Xinghe as my natal home, does that mean that I married to Lin Zhao?"
"Of course I didn't mean that..."
Su Xinghe wanted to give himself a big mouth and said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just saying..."
"Know it."
Shen Xingchen smiled and said: "I understand what the senior means, but...I won't lie to you, I really like the atmosphere of the Scarlet Moon Knights. Everyone is very nice. I'm used to living here and I really don't want to move.
Well, as for Xinghe... When I promised my senior to join Xinghe, I said that after helping Xinghe become the number one in the national server, my mission will be completed, so whether I am with Lin Zhao or not, there is a high probability that it will be.
I won’t go back to the galaxy, and the world is so big, there are still many things worth doing for me, and I can’t spend my whole life immersed in games, right?”
"Um……"
Su Xinghe gritted his teeth: "I know, it doesn't matter, as long as you have a happy life, the rest is not important. Well...when are you free, can I go over and treat you to a meal?"
"Senior's family has a great career, so there's no need to bother."
"..."
…
After a phone call, Su Xinghe's heart almost went cold, but Shen Xingchen returned to the table and continued to accompany Lin Zhao, eating hot pot coldly. As soon as she sat down, Lin Zhao looked up at her and said, "Xingchen
, Su Xinghe wants to dig you back?"
"!!!"
Shen Xingchen glared at him angrily. Is this what you should be asking? Shouldn't it be something else? But when she saw the cold face next to her, her thoughts immediately disappeared. She bit her red lips and said, "Well
, but I am determined and determined to follow the leader of the white-clothed alliance for half a year. During these six months, no one can shake my loyalty to Shen Xingchen. Please rest assured, leader!"
"You are too fake..."
Lin Zhao had dark hair and didn't want to talk to her.
…
But at this moment, Lin Zhao's cell phone suddenly lit up, with a system message on it——
System prompt: [Tianxia] reminds that a powerful wave of bandits is about to attack [Snowy Tianchi], and the countdown to the mountain attack is 30 minutes!
