Chapter 151: Chapter 151: A Little Sweet
[Oh dear, Lord 91 is as unromantic as ever~]
[Miss Ai Li is a noble descendant, you know, with A+ Fertility. If it weren’t for the trouble with her father’s family, she’d have suitors lining up.]
[Why do I feel like Lord Lou only has eyes for the little turtle?]
Ai Li was suddenly pushed aside. She grabbed the chair with both hands to steady herself. Faced with Lou’s rough actions, her eyes immediately reddened.
Yu Zhizhi was eating strawberries and looked up in confusion when she heard the commotion.
She saw a trace of anger on Lou’s face as he stared daggers at her.
Yu Zhizhi, a strawberry still in her mouth, froze for a moment.
She had been happily eating, so she turned slightly, lowered her head, and went back to her chilled strawberries and cream.
Seeing the little female completely ignore him, a nameless fire ignited in Lou’s chest. He abruptly stood up, grabbed his rusty blade, and walked outside.
Ai Li was startled and limped after him.
She was terrified that Lou would abandon the team right then and there!
After he left,
the Leopard and the Stag finally dared to breathe again.
They stared at each other across the long table, neither knowing what had just happened.
But...
Since Lord Lou clearly had an issue with this little female, they didn’t dare get too close. Ignoring the look Yu Zhizhi sent their way, they quickly picked up their trays and moved away.
A few viewers popped into Yu Zhizhi’s livestream.
[This poor little female. Just yesterday Lord 91 was doting on her, and today he’s giving her the cold shoulder!]
[I’ll follow her for now and see what happens next.]
After the meal, Yu Zhizhi helped clear the table.
The Leopard hesitated for a long moment before he couldn’t help but ask, "Number 13, did you do something to make Lord Lou unhappy?"
Washing the tray in her hands, Yu Zhizhi lowered her gaze. "I think so."
The Leopard grew anxious. "Then you have to find a way to cheer him up! With Lord Lou around, it’ll be easy for the team’s points to get into the top three. Then we can enter the Paradise Temple."
"Go cheer him up yourself!" the White-eyed Young Boy, who had appeared out of nowhere, said coldly.
The Leopard glanced at Little Douding, rubbing his nose and muttering, "If Lord Lou would even spare me a look, I would have gone already."
Aside from Lord Lou, the White-eyed Young Boy had the highest spiritual power.
The Leopard didn’t dare provoke him.
He finished stacking all the clean trays and turned to leave.
Just then, the Stag returned from the backyard, having picked some fresh leafy greens.
"Miss Thirteen, I’ll make you a kelp and tofu stew tonight."
’Are turtles vegetarian?’
The Stag dimly remembered that turtles liked eating meat.
Hearing that there would be something good to eat, a smile appeared on Yu Zhizhi’s face. "Okay!"
In the dilapidated little villa, everyone began to go about their own business.
Every team has a main fighter, support, and logistics. In their small squad, the main fighter was clearly Lou, the secondary fighter was the White-eyed Young Boy, support consisted of Ai Li of the decryption system and Zhi Zhi of the Healing System, and logistics were the Leopard and the Stag.
Based on the team’s composition, their squad was practically perfect.
From the back of the second floor, the Leopard suddenly shouted excitedly, "Third place! Third place! Our squad’s points just shot up to third place!"
Lord Lou had gone out [Hunting]!
In the Paradise Area, you could earn team points by killing other players, wandering Fallen Species, or even hidden mega-monsters.
Yu Zhizhi was sitting at the long table, researching matters related to the Healing System.
Once connected to the network, the gray bracelet could be used to look up any information, which was incredibly useful.
Hearing the Leopard’s shout, she glanced down and tapped on the points display, confirming that their team was indeed ranked third.
Each team was named after the number of the player with the highest individual points. Their team’s name was displayed as [91].
Yu Zhizhi glanced at the two teams ahead of them. Second place was [14], and first place was [777].
The team represented by number 14 had only three members in total.
And 777 was a solo player.
The White-eyed Young Boy sitting across from her was fiddling with his bracelet. He was a man of few words and a loner, and was now staring thoughtfully at the screen on his wrist.
The door opened.
The Leopard scrambled down from the second floor, desperate to be the first to greet Lou.
That dark green figure appeared in the entryway, and the thick scent of blood instantly filled the entire villa.
Yu Zhizhi turned off her bracelet’s screen.
She looked over, and her pupils suddenly dilated—
’Such a grievous injury!’
A vicious claw mark marred Lou’s chest, his uniform embedded in the bloody flesh. His face was pale, and his bandages were soaked with blood. With a grim expression, he walked much slower than usual.
Ai Li, who had run all the way here, arrived panting for breath. Leaning on the doorframe with one hand, she announced in a trembling voice, "Lord 91 has slain a hidden, top-tier Fallen Species!"
Our squad’s points shot up!
Landing us in third place!
Ai Li hadn’t been much help. She couldn’t keep up with Lou on the way and could only watch from a distance.
It was the same on the way back; she had almost no strength left.
Lou had absolutely no intention of waiting for her.
But she had to keep her stream going—
Luckily, the distance wasn’t too great, so her livestream viewers could still see Lou’s back.
Ai Li’s popularity skyrocketed, gaining her over four hundred thousand followers. It was only the second day of the game; her fame was sure to grow even more.
Lou caught a glimpse of the small green figure in his peripheral vision. The aggressiveness in his heart had yet to dissipate, and he grew even more irritated, heading for the second floor without a backward glance.
’My strength is sealed in this body. To think it would be this difficult to kill a single top-level Fallen Species.’
Lou scoffed inwardly.
Yu Zhizhi immediately stood up and walked toward him.
"Lou..."
He ignored the call from the young Turtle Clan female, looking back at Ai Li. "You. Take the blade upstairs."
Ai Li looked at him, pleasantly surprised. "Okay!"
Yu Zhizhi stopped in her tracks. She watched as Ai Li carefully took the blood-stained blade and followed Lou upstairs.
Ai Li’s livestream chat instantly exploded.
[Hahahaha! Lord 91 is finally giving Miss Ai Li the time of day!]
[He’s always been a loner. Do you think he stayed with the team this time for Ai Li?]
[OMG, this is so sweet!]
Once on the second floor, Lou indifferently took the blade from her hand and, pale-faced, returned to his room.
Ai Li saw the live comments, too, and felt a surge of delight.
’Helping Lord 91 carry his blade is great, too.’
’Today, I carry his blade. Maybe tomorrow, we’ll have another kind of contact~’
Hearing footsteps at the top of the stairs, Ai Li looked over.
’Heh, just as I thought. It’s that female from the Turtle Clan.’
Ai Li gave her a gentle smile. "Miss Thirteen, are you here to give Lord Lou his Healing?"
She would never show any malice in front of the livestream camera.
Yu Zhizhi nodded. "I’m worried about him."
Ai Li shot her a meaningful glance.
To this day, she still hadn’t bothered to remember this turtle’s name.
Today, Lord Lou had been particularly cold toward this turtle, even annoyed.
’He must be getting tired of her.’
Inside the room, though Lou’s physical injuries seemed to be within his body’s tolerance, only Ai Li actually knew that his spirit had suffered a massive blow this time.
’Males are extremely dangerous at a time like this; they might kill any living thing that gets too close.’
Ai Li took a step back, clearing a path. "I’ll leave him to you, then."
She secretly adjusted her camera angle, wanting everyone to see how this little female was about to suffer.
Yu Zhizhi entered the room.
