Xin Yu stammered for a long time, saying, "Do you... do you want to eat an ice cream cone? They're four yuan each at KFC..."
I said in surprise, "But we just finished eating. Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
"Come with me, I'll treat!" Xin Yu's voice started to get cutesy, and her magnificent chest trembled a few times.
I swallowed, and said with difficulty, "Alright, alright, stop being so flirtatious, I'm really scared of you..."
"What did you say?!" Xin Yu's delicate brows furrowed, and her face turned cold.
I jumped in fright and whispered, "I... I just said you're beautiful..."
"Hmph, I hope that's the case."
Xin Yu, without a word, dragged me into the KFC under the nearby large supermarket. She ordered several chicken wings for herself, and also got me a drink. She smiled slightly at me and said, "Do you want some chicken wings? Big sister will treat you?"
"No thanks, I'll just have some coke."
KFC was almost full at noon. At this moment, four beautiful girls walked in from outside, discussing something, and sat down at the seats next to Xin Yu and me.
One of the girls went to buy something, while the other three looked indignant, discussing:
"You're telling me, that Yu Yang, that kind of person... can he really be the school's security guard?" one of the single-lidded girls pouted and said bitterly.
Another short-haired girl continued, "Originally, I was already level 13. Now, well, I'm back to level 11. I won't be able to reach 13 by tomorrow, and a skill I just learned can't be used because my level is one too low."
"You're lucky, you only dropped two levels. I even lost my robe that gave +2 intelligence. I spent a week's living expenses on that! Now I have nothing. If you were me, wouldn't you cry yourself to death?"
"Oh, right, Shanshan's blue warrior leg guards have been acquired. Have you seen them?"
"No, we'll ask Shanshan when she gets here."
I was instantly startled. Could they be Murong Shanshan's group?
"Wow, this time it's my treat for everyone. I'm really sorry that my equipment caused you all to lose levels." A beautiful young lady with long flowing hair came over, carrying a large pile of things.
I turned my head to look and was immediately struck by her beauty. The real-life Murong Shanshan was even more youthful and radiant than she was in the game. A creamy white wool coat accentuated her delicate, adorable face.
There were only half-height wooden dividers on both sides, and I could even clearly see their every move. Murong Shanshan walked in and sat down in a seat inside, right next to me. The distance was definitely no more than 20 centimeters, and I could faintly smell a fresh scent from her.
"Pfft!"
The milk tea in Xin Yu's hand landed heavily on the table. I turned my head and saw her furious face.
"What, eating KFC with your girlfriend and you still have to look at other girls?" Xin Yu said expressionlessly.
I rubbed my head and said, "I feel like I know this girl, so I looked a couple more times. Wait... when did you become my girlfriend? How come I, the person involved, don't know?"
Xin Yu tilted her head and looked at me: "What? You ate me up and now you don't want to admit it?"
I was utterly astonished by her shamelessness and was speechless for a moment.
"How about we make that fact come true right now?" Xin Yu continued to tempt me with a grin, but unfortunately, my attention was drawn to the next table again.
"Shanshan, that blue equipment, tell us, what are its stats?"
Murong Shanshan's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she said proudly, "A pair of blue warrior leg guards. All of you sit tight and don't get scared by the stats!"
"Alright, alright, just tell us!"
Murong Shanshan took a sip of coke, chuckled, and said, "+28 Defense, +12 Strength, +8 Stamina, +11 Agility. How about that? Hey... Ke Ke, don't let your drool drip into the plate!"
I was also shocked by these stats. Is this what blue equipment is like? And it even adds 11 Agility? That's a dream stat for an attacking warrior. Agility adds both attack speed and movement speed, and it also has a significant impact on the critical hit rate of melee professions. In the later stages, a Thief who focuses purely on Agility has fast attack speed and runs faster than other professions. Without being affected by slowing skills, they are absolutely impossible for a warrior profession to catch up to.
"Hey, Shanshan, the handsome guy next to you is looking at you, oh... and he's even drooling! Wow, how perverted!"
Xin Yu also kicked me under the table. Only then did I realize I had lost my composure. Murong Shanshan turned to look at me, and the close-up eye contact made my face feel hot.
A faint blush actually appeared on Murong Shanshan's snowy white face. She looked at me steadily and said hesitantly, "Have we... met somewhere before?"
I broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did I remember that I had changed my appearance in the game. Compared to my current self, it was at most a strong resemblance. I shouldn't have been recognized.
I thought for a moment and said calmly, "Beautiful lady, we shouldn't have met before. Usually, with a beauty like you, I should have a very deep impression."
Murong Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled, glancing at me as she said, "Then it's nothing. Since it's such a coincidence, let's get acquainted. Judging by your expression just now, you must also be playing 'moons constant', right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be drooling when you heard the equipment stats..."
Ke Ke blinked her eyes, lowering her voice to ask, "Do you think he might be drooling because of your beauty?"
"Definitely not!" Murong Shanshan said softly, a faint smile flashing across the corner of her mouth: "A lustful man, would he still have such clear eyes?"
"Shanshan, what are we going to do about that Yu Yang incident?"
"I don't know, but I'll try my best to avoid him in the future. If Qing Cai hadn't been there that day, my quest would have definitely been ruined!"
"Speaking of which, Qing Cai is quite handsome, isn't he? Hmm, similar to the one next door. Hey, Shanshan, what do you think of Qing Cai?"
Murong Shanshan chuckled and said, "That guy, he's just someone who sells his services. He needs money for everything, as if he can't live without it."
Xin Yu looked at me ambiguously, trying her best to hold back her laughter. By now, she also knew that the 'Qing Cai' these girls were talking about must be me, otherwise, I wouldn't have been staring at them so intently just now... Xin Yu wiped her hands and said, "Lin Fan, let's go back."
I nodded. As I passed Murong Shanshan, she just smiled and looked at me, which counted as a greeting.
