Chapter 1199 - A MuChapter Needed Interval -Part 1
"ARGHHHH!!" Jin shouted as he was once again killed because of a blind spot when he was raking up his days of kills. It was his fourth continuous day of fighting but this was already his fifth attempt to survive for seven days straight. In total, he had actually been fighting for 21 days without any breaks and the onlookers could already see that Jin was near his breaking point in terms of his sanity.
Ming had begun throwing animated soldiers unleas.h.i.+ng advanced techniques and there was no doubt that it was getting harder the more times he died. Thus, instead of letting him continue on with the fights, Ming decided to give him a timeout by throwing him out back to reality, forcing him to wake up screaming at his defeat.
When Jin shouted, both Lynn and Qiu Yue happened to be in their rooms and came teleporting to his room to see what was happening, only to find out Jin was panting heavily.
"You alright?" Lynn questioned while Qiu Yue was already holding on to her weapon, thinking there was a threat somewhere.. But the threat was the two girls as they were wearing skimpily when they rushed into Jin"s room.
"I… I am fine." Jin"s anger somehow diverted for a moment and decided to regulate his chi through his body. It was then he told them that he should be able to cool off with a shower and thanked them for their concern.
"You sure?" Lynn asked once more but Jin nodded his head, thanking them for their concern, asking them what time and date, hoping to know how much time he had skipped.
"It"s currently Tuesday evening, 930pm. You have been out for only two days." Qiu Yue said as she withdrew her weapon and sighed. "Actually, it"s a good thing you are back early. There were people from the Symposium looking for you, wanting to talk to you about your entry. I told them that you were in lockdown mode, not wanting to be disturbed. But they insisted that you contact them or else there is a chance for you to entirely miss out on the entire event."
"Qiu Yue!" Lynn communicated through System Channel while expressing a pouty face in front of her but behind Jin when he was in the bathroom. She was the one who received the messages and only told her fellow Sub System User as an update. Lynn did not expect Qiu Yue to jump the gun.
"Hehe, you just wanted more interaction with him, right?" Qiu Yue teased Lynn and waved at her goodbye. "Perhaps you should lose the jacket you are wearing and you might stand a chance with that big baggy singlet you are wearing inside."
"The System believes that is a good idea too." The System had to interject in the conversation but Lynn smacked Qiu Yue forcefully at her side for making fun of her. She also stared at the ceiling and pulled her tongue out at the System for reinforcing Qiu Yue"s suggestion.
At that time Jin came out, looked surprised by the weird expression Lynn was making and asked if everything was okay. Qiu Yue chuckled hard and Lynn somehow embarra.s.sed herself right in front of him.
"In any case, thanks to you two. I will take a look at the emails they sent me. But since you said its night time, there"s no way they would reply promptly even if I write to them now. Might as well do something productive." Jin said as he had a face which the two girls had seen before.
If there was an issue that bugged him, he would continue to do think about it until it was a done deal. Thus, the two girls immediately questioned him and asked if there was anything they could help.
"I do not think so, it"s a problem that I had faced when I was cultivating within my subconsciousness."
"Lol, you merely looked like you were sleeping all night long." Qiu Yue replied and Lynn felt dejected that there was really nothing she could help except her speciality.
"Would you like a hot meal before you attempt your cultivation once more? A full stomach might allow you to think better." Lynn asked with concern.
"More like it would let him sleep better." Qiu Yue said but Jin thought for a moment and decided to take up Lynn"s offer.
"But this time, let me help a little. I feel bad that you are always doing all the cooking." Jin said, thinking it might be a good distraction to cool himself down before going in for another try.
"I would like to help too then! Besides, I am feeling peckish from all the reviews of the construction from the Dungeon World AND Farming World." Qiu Yue emphasised the last part to let Jin know that she was working very hard too for her paycheck.
"Hmmm. I think I could think of a very simple meal which would be easy for the both of you to do and not screw it up." Lynn snapped her finger and her attire turned into a set of clothes with an ap.r.o.n on.
"Awww, no naked ap.r.o.n in front of Jin?" Qiu Yue once again teased the poor Lynn in the System Channel and she hoped that it would introduce some ideas for the girl to take action when opportunity strikes.
"Well! You never gave me any chance to do so!" Lynn answered which shocked Qiu Yue for a moment but thankfully Jin did not notice at all.
"Heh. Too bad for you, I am really feeling hungry. Please feed me, Lynn. I promise I will help you get him." Qiu Yue"s face turned all puppy eyes at Lynn and she sighed as they walked out of Jin"s room. In the meantime, Jin was busy putting his face to his phone"s screen since the downtime allowed him to read the news with regards to the Symposium.
"Hmm… a backup site?" Jin read and thought to himself why the Symposium committee would like his Tree Mall to be a secondary site to host the area.
