Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Out of the three of them, only Mind Du had to turn in his quest in Thunderstorm City so w.a.n.g Yu and Spring Halo boarded the flying s.h.i.+p and left first.
When w.a.n.g Yu returned to Twilight City, it was already rather late so he hurriedly logged off.
When w.a.n.g Yu took off the helmet and lightly stretched his back, he noticed Mu Zi Xian lying next to him already fast asleep. Next to him, there was a note from her that said: "Honey the food is in the slow cooker now. Remember to eat before you sleep ok?"
Simply reading this message was enough to fill w.a.n.g Yu with a sense of comfort and warmth.
w.a.n.g Yu lightly patted Mu Zi Xian on the head and gave her a gentle kiss before heading to wash up. After he finished the food and returned to the room, he accidentally opened the door with too much force and ended up rousing Mu Zi Xian from her sleep.
"Honey you"re done playing?" Mu Zi Xian groggily mumbled.
"Mmm." w.a.n.g Yu nodded as he hastily shovelled his dinner into his mouth and said: "You must be tired, just sleep first."
"I"m not… Is dinner cold? Do you need me to heat it up for you?" Mu Zi Xian asked as she sloely crawled up.
"No no. It"s just the right temperature. How"s business today?" w.a.n.g Yu chuckled.
"Oh business? It"s doing great!" When w.a.n.g Yu brought up the subject of their shop, Mu Zi Xian suddenly perked up and excitedly recounted the days events: "Everything was flying off the shelves! With all the middle grade recovery medicines and mixtures we sold today, I earned more than my monthly salary in an afternoon!"
"Heh heh heh. My wife is really too smart! It was a great idea to open a shop!" w.a.n.g Yu laughed.
"Hpmh! I knew you were going to say something like that! I just mentioned it in pa.s.sing, I didn"t think you"d really go open one… Do you really think that I didn"t know that was your intention from the start?" Mu Zi Xian playfully scolded w.a.n.g Yu.
"Well I did, but I lacked a housekeeper..."
"You little!" Mu Zi Xian giggled and pinched w.a.n.g Yu"s cheek.
Since the day they got married, this was the first time that w.a.n.g Yu had seen Mu Zi Xian so happy.
Although they had both vowed to share happiness and sorrow, forcing her to elope with him had always made w.a.n.g Yu feel a sense of failure and guilt towards Mu Zi XIan.
No matter how positive one was, it wasn"t possible to keep up such a front in the face of endless hards.h.i.+ps.
"Honey, it"s been tough on you..." w.a.n.g Yu sighed as he gently caressed Mu Zi Xian"s face.
"As long as I"m with you, nothing else matters… I want to save our money and buy a huge house so our future kids can run free ok?" Mu Zi Xian giggled.
"A huge house? Isn"t our current one very cozy?"
"But that"s different! I want lots of kids, and I want them all to learn martial arts… So large open s.p.a.ces are a must!" Mu Zi Xian shook her head.
"Heh, one is enough already. We"re still a long way off. We don"t even have enough to pay the deposit yet." w.a.n.g Yu laughed.
"Well you don"t know this but I met a huge customer today!" Mu Zi Xian puffed out her chest in pride.
"A big customer? What big customer?" w.a.n.g Yu curiously asked.
"Someone called Daybreak Frost I think. He bought all of the middle grade recovery medicine in the shop! And he said that in future, he wants all the stock we have..."
"Daybreak Frost? That sounds familiar..."
"Of course it"s familiar, he"s from Daybreak Studios. They"re quite well known in the gaming world." Mu Zi Xian replied.
"Ohhhh ok I met them today! Fearless says they like to screw around with the markets in games..." w.a.n.g Yu suddenly recalled what Fearless had told him when Mu Zi Xian mentioned Daybreak Studios.
"So they"re into monopolising? It"s fine I think. Little Xue is the one who produces them after all." Mu Zi Xian chuckled.
"That"s true..." w.a.n.g Yu nodded. Mu Zi Xian"s words did make sense.
Since Li Xue was the only player in the entire game who could craft Middle Grade Recovery Medicines, there was no need to fear anyone else monopolising that market.
...…
The next morning, After eating breakfast, w.a.n.g yu was just about to enter the game when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who"s there?"
One needed to be completely relaxed to enter the game so the sudden knock had disrupted him.
"Brother Yu it"s me. Little Xue!"
"Oh ok. What it it?" w.a.n.g Yu asked as he cautiously pried open the door.
"I have something to tell you..." Li Xue mumbled as she awkwardly shuffled.
"Must it be right now?" w.a.n.g Yu asked. Mu Zi Xian was currently in the kitchen and w.a.n.g Yu didn"t want to create any misunderstandings.
"But if sister-in-law heard this she"d get angry..."
When w.a.n.g Yu heard Li Xue"s words he immediately a.s.sumed the worst and seriously replied: "Little Xue you"re still young. Please don"t lead yourself on. Let me tell you, I"m not that kind of man! I"m completely loyal to your Sister Xian!"
"Wait what? What are you saying? You completely misunderstood me!" Li Xue choked.
"Oh… oops… So what did you want to tell me then?" w.a.n.g Yu incoherently babbled.
"Well… when I was playing yesterday, someone from a large guild added me. And then he tried to poach me..." Li Xue solemnly explained.
"Oh that"s it?" w.a.n.g Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean by that Brother Yu?" Li Xue asked.
"I mean if you change guilds that would be fearless" problem. Why did you say that Sister Xian would be upset?" w.a.n.g Yu explained.
"Because that large guild is a studio. They want to work with me to craft Middle Grade Recovery Medicines… The price they offered me is very high, but if I join them I can"t supply Sister Xian anymore..."
"Is it Daybreak Studios?" w.a.n.g Yu asked.
"Yes, it"s them." Li Xue nodded.
"So what do you plan on doing?" w.a.n.g Yu was a very democratic person so he wouldn"t force Li Xue to do something she wasn"t willing to do.
What"s more, Fearless had already told the four girls that this was a temporary arrangement. If they wanted to leave, they could do so at anytime.
The four of them were professional gamers after all. They only played this game to earn their keep. If they was something better for them then w.a.n.g Yu definitely wouldn"t hold them back because of his own selfish thoughts.
"Everything we have now is because of the Quan Zhen Sect. If it wasn"t for Brother Yu, I don"t know where we"ll be right now. Although Daybreak Studios is offering us a lot more, we"ll definitely stay in the Quan Zhen Sect. It"s just..." Li Xue Resolutely replied.
"It"s just what?"
"Daybreak Studios is quite big so I"m scared that they"ll cause problems for you Brother Yu..." Li Xue sighed.
"Heh, don"t worry about that. The Quan Zhen Sect is a problem anyway!" w.a.n.g Yu laughed.
