Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 22 Reunion
I stood in front of the Qinglong Restaurant with Afeng, who had changed his clothes, waiting for Xiao Lajiao and the others to arrive with trepidation. It's not a good feeling to live in the public eye. Now, no one will pay attention to an ordinary thief and knight. I don't want to be a public figure.
After a while, two beautiful ladies came towards us, one was a little older, about twenty years old, and the other was a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen. Both of them were apprentice archers. The badge on their chest depicted an archer with a bow shooting into the sky. They wore light green primary archer equipment, which made them look heroic and charming, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Looking at Afeng's hurriedly approaching figures, it goes without saying that these two must be Xiao Lajiao and her future sister-in-law. How could they be so ostentatious, walking on the street in professional attire? But I didn't have the courage to ask them to change clothes before coming to meet me, so I had to bite the bullet and follow them.
"Hi, Brother Dai, I didn't expect to see you in "Tianxia". It's been so long, and you didn't call me. Have you forgotten me?" Before I could say anything, Little Lajiao came towards me.
"Brother Dai", hearing this long-lost name, my scalp went numb, thinking back to when I was first attracted by this name. A Feng was smiling slyly beside me, obviously waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
I forced a smile hastily, "Little Pepper, how could I forget you? You know my situation. I just haven't been doing well. I'm too embarrassed to see anyone."
"I told you before that if things don't work out here, you can come to our place. But you refused and insisted on staying here. Our place is also pretty good."
Going to your place? I can't hide from you anymore. If I had no choice, I wouldn't meet you so soon. Of course, you can think about it in your heart, but you must never say it out loud. People who are too honest will suffer a great loss. I paid the price of blood for this!
Carefully coaxing and persuading, after Little Pepper had finished venting, he remembered that there were other people around, "You don't know each other yet, this is my brother Dai, and this is my future sister-in-law."
Another girl generously extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Nan Feiyan, nice to meet you."
Shaking hands with the opposite sex, in reality there are not many opportunities like this, there is no way, I am just that pure. I also stretched out my hand and shook it gently, I am not a pervert, and besides, it is not right to tease a friend's wife, "Hello, my name is A Dai."
"A-Dai?" Nan Feiyan frowned and said thoughtfully, "This name sounds so familiar, as if I've heard it before. Oh, by the way, the name of the first job changer announced by the system should be A-Dai. Could it be..."
Little Lajiao also looked at me with a look of surprise. I looked at Afeng in confusion, "Didn't you say you had told them everything about me?"
A Feng thought about it and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I have said it all, but I seem to have forgotten to introduce your name."
Nan Feiyan smiled slightly, "The two of them, one is the guy who keeps talking, and the other is the one who keeps talking about "Dumb Brother". After talking for a long time, I didn't expect that you are the famous "Dumb". I am so disrespectful."
I looked at Little Lajiao who was glaring at Afeng, and secretly moved aside, "Sister Feiyan, please stop making fun of me. Little Lajiao and the others know that I'm just a rookie who just learned how to play the game. The first place is just because I'm a little bit luckier. It doesn't mean anything."
A Feng couldn't stand Xiao Lajiao's gaze and hurriedly changed the subject, "Look, it's too noisy here with people coming and going. It's not a place to talk. Come on, let's go in and sit down. We can talk slowly." After saying that, he walked into the Qinglong Restaurant first. Xiao Lajiao stared at her and wanted to say something, but Nan Feiyan pulled her and took her in.
I found a private room, sat down, and ordered some tea, wine and food. Although they couldn't really fill my stomach, the sensory stimulation such as color, aroma and taste was still very real. They were luxury consumer products for rich people in the virtual world. Well, it's good to be rich!
A Feng nodded and bowed for a while, and finally he calmed down Xiao Lajiao's anger and no longer cared about his crime of "concealing the truth". Instead, he looked at me carefully and said, "Well, Brother Dai, you look good now. Although you can't be called handsome, you have a better temperament and look much more cheerful than the real person."
Is this a compliment or an insult? It's obvious that I don't look that good in real life and I don't have any temperament. It hurts my self-esteem. This made Afeng laugh secretly, and even Nan Feiyan pursed her lips and laughed secretly. This girl is too straightforward and doesn't leave room for others when she speaks.
I quickly changed the subject, "I heard from Afeng that you accepted a mission to kill a wild boar, but failed to complete it?"
As expected, Little Pepper started to yell indignantly, "What kind of perverted mission is that? It was clearly said that there were two wild boars, but when we got there we found out there were five. Isn't this a joke? The three of us can handle five wolves, but how can we handle five wild boars without any good equipment?"
"Little sister, forget it. It was luck that you got this mission in the first place. We have nothing to lose. Even if you give up this mission, it won't affect your grades. In fact, you only received a one-star mission. The reward is so generous. You should have thought it wouldn't be that easy."
"What? Sister Feiyan, it's not easy to come across such a task. I don't care about anything else, but I can't bear to give up the reward item for completing the task, a peacock feather. How beautiful it would be if it could be embedded in a hat! It can also increase the attack hit rate by 5%. Now it 's gone for nothing. It's really infuriating."
Nan Feiyan shook Little Lajiao's hand and said, "Little sister, don't be discouraged so quickly. Didn't the Mercenary Guild say that someone has already taken up this mission? Let's find him, discuss it with him, and help him. After he completes the mission, he will give us the Peacock Feather, right?"
"It's not that easy. Who knows which bastard has received this mission and when he is going to go? The deadline for the mission is one day. Do we have to wait there for a whole day? Even if we wait for him, he may not be willing to give us the Peacock Feather. Who wouldn't want to keep such a good thing for themselves? Humph, that damn bastard, why did he have to accept this mission? Just give me a little more time, I will definitely find a way to kill those wild boars."
I really couldn't listen to it anymore. If Little Pepper continued to be angry, what if she finally found out that the bastard who stole her mission was me? It would be the worst thing for me to vent my anger. It would be better for me to confess and be lenient. I raised my hand, "Little Pepper, stop scolding me. The bastard who took the mission you mentioned is me. I'm really sorry. I didn't know that this mission was related to you." I swear, I really didn't expect it, otherwise I would never accept it, and I would run as far away as possible, and it would be best if we never met again.
"You?" Xiao La Jiao and Nan Fei Yan both opened their eyes wide and looked at me with an incredible expression. When I nodded solemnly, Nan Fei Yan understood a little, "Yes, A Feng said that your first profession was a necromancer, and now the badge you wear is a thief. In this way, you already have two first-level professions, and the world card should be a two-star one. You can indeed take this quest."
Little Lajiao also reacted, jumped up with joy, and hugged Nan Feiyan tightly, "That's great, it turns out that the mission was taken by you, brother Dai. We can complete the mission, and I can finally get my beloved Peacock Feather." Then she remembered something and looked at me apologetically, "Brother Dai, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you who took the mission just now, and I called you a bastard a few times, you won't be angry with me, right?"
"Forget it, Little Pepper didn't know about it beforehand and that's why she scolded you. As the saying goes, ignorance is no crime. Ah Dai, you won't blame Little Pepper, right? Oh..." A meaningful "oh" revealed Ah Feng's true face. It was obvious that he thought there was nothing interesting to watch, so he jumped out to pretend to be a good guy. He was so insidious, despicable, dirty and shameless!
Looking at Little Lajiao's sincere and apologetic eyes, what else can I say? Naturally, everything will be calm and everyone will be happy, and everything will start over again.
