At noon we had a feast. Auntieâs skills had not regressed since before and Wan Er and Dong Cheng only had praises.
In the afternoon, I took Li Meng Yao downtown to buy game equipment. In the blink of an eye, it had already been 2 months since the game was released and the 17th batch of helmets was out. Nowadays, there were helmets for sale at various different stores, but we still decided to go to the most flourishing part of downtown to a Specialized Destiny Flagship store to buy the helmet. I took Meng Yao, Wan Er and Dong Cheng all into the store. The three breathtaking girls drew a lot of attention when we walked in.
âBrotherâ¦â
Meng Yao tugged on my head as she looked at the dazzling gear. She couldnât help but whisper, âThis place is so high end⦠is the helmet youâre going to get me very expensive?â
I smiled, âItâs no problem. You donât have to do anything but wait to enter into Destiny. Even though youâre late two months, but as long as you stick with me, Iâll prepare a set of equipment for you and catching up will be very easy.â
âOkâ¦â
When we reached the counter, a 25 year old girl manned the front desk. Her black uniform was extremely pretty. Looks like the Destiny boss had a good eye.
âGood afternoon!â
I walked forward and smiled politely, âExcuse me, what types of helmets are for sale?â
The girl smiled back, âHello handsome boy, at the moment we have all levels of helmets for sale. Thereâs the Regular Model which costs 10,000 RMB a set and gives a 95% realistic effect. We also have the Royal Blue Model for 50,000 RMB a set and gives a 97% realistic effect. Then we have the Nouveu Riche Gold Model for 100,000 RMB a set and 99% realistic effect. That is already the highest quality gear on the market. Furthermore, it comes with a battery, protection system for the user, and an emergency system. When you buy the VIP Helmet, you will also get a VIP activation code. Registering this activation code will allow you to obtain 1-10 points of charmâ¦â
I widened my eyes, âEh? Why didnât the first wave of players get some kind of an activation code?â
The girl smiled, âThat⦠Didnât you get two more months in the game than the later waves? This is just a method to compensate for the players who entered in later. I hope that you understand!â
Wan Er leaned against the counter and mischievously smiled, âPig, just buy the Nouveau Riche Model. That way itâll be the same as mine. The only difference is that the first batch of helmets wasnât gold.â
I nodded and pulled out my bank card and said, âMiss, can you give me a Nouveu Riche VIP helmet?â
âOk!â
Very soon we finished the transaction, and the girl handed an exquisite box to me with Meng Yaoâs gaming gear in it. The girl was so happy that she nearly teared up. At the moment, was already an extremely popular game. A lot of her classmates were probably playing the game, leaving her alone. Yup, giving her a helmet was good compensation for being such an irresponsible brother!
âHow is it, do you like this model?â I asked with a smile.
Meng Yao nodded vigorously, âYup yup, I really like it⦠just, itâs too expensive. Brother, I let you spend more moneyâ¦â
I smiled, âThatâs no problem. Even if Auntie doesnât know, shouldnât you already? Brother now has the backing of a big guild like [Zhan Long]. Just increasing or decreasing our provisions creates tens of thousands of RMB difference. Donât worry, I have the money to buy thisâ¦â
Meng Yao narrowed her eyes at me and then broke into a grin, âYup yup, Brother is Xiao Yao Zi Zai, a Hero level player!â
At that moment the girl behind the counter stared at Wan Er and I and suddenly went âAh!â. âYouâ¦â¦ oh my gosh!â
Her small shoulders shook a little and her face was pale. She pointed at Wan Er and I and said, âYou guys arenât⦠You guys arenât Ba Huang Cityâs Xiao Yao Zi Zai and Cang Tong are you? And the pretty girl to your left, youâre Cang Yue, right? You guys looks just like you do in the gameâ¦â
I looked at her and calmly said, âYup, itâs me. Do the top twenty players on the CBN Rankings get a discount?â
The girl shook her head with a laugh, âThat⦠Thereâs no discount⦠But, can I take a picture with you guys? Xiao Yao Zi Zai, do you know? Youâre extremely reputable among the fans. Especially the female players. Many of them really like you a lot⦠thereâs a ton of people who are crazy about you. Thereâs a girl in our sector that sleeps with your picture under her pillow. She said that if she doesnât get you, sheâll never look for another boyfriendâ¦â
âEhâ¦â I was dumbfounded.
Wan Er rubbed her lip, âGet him⦠what does that mean?â
âYou understandâ¦â The girl smiled embarrassingly. She pulled on her skirt and then took out a phone and walked over. She then leaned against me and said, âHurry up and look at the camera and take a selfieâ¦â
I didnât say anything. âKa Chaâ The photo was taken and she happily looked at it, âHo ho ho, now with this picture, that girl will be soo jealous of me! Now that I think about it, Destiny may be holding a player feast soon. All of the Guild Master level players of the big guilds and CBN Battlenet Ranked players will be invited. We might even see each other again.â
I nodded and smiled, âEh, OK then. However, we have to leave soon. Meng Yao probably canât wait any longer to try out her new gear, isnât that right?â
Meng Yaoâs face was red, âBrother, stop teasing me!â
Wan Er said, âPig, then are we going back today, orâ¦?â
I thought about it for a second, âSeeing as Auntie wants to keep us here so much, then we should stay at home for a night. Weâll head back to school tomorrow. Either way there arenât any classes tomorrow, right? The hotel has Destinyâs data interface anyways, so we can play. We can head back to school now and get our gaming equipment and clothes.â
âEn, OKâ¦â
We quickly returned to the university and Wan Er and Dong Cheng went upstairs to get their things. I then took Meng Yao to the male dorms.
When we arrived at the bottom of the stairs, I had Meng Yao wait for me down there. My pretty sister cutely stood at the bottom of the stairs. Afterwards, one of the windows opened up and a male student looked out and said, âD*mn, a beauty is here! Is she from Liu Hua? Sheâs on the same level as Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue! How come I havenât seen her before? Hi, beauty, how about we become friends?!â
Meng Yaoâs face went completely red.
I was speechless and raised a fist at the window, âYou wanna die? Thatâs my sister!â
At that moment, one boy who wasnât afraid of death laughed, âLi Xiao Yao, why donât you become my brother in law!â
âF*ck off!â
âHa ha haâ¦â
Even Tang Gu looked out and said, âLi Xiao Yao, why do you have such a pretty sister when you have a face like that?â
I glared over, âA face like what? Glassed Bro, are you itching, do you want me to give you a beating?â
âNevermind, Iâm afraid Iâll beat you⦠then Wan Er will have to come and beat me upâ¦â
âAs ifâ¦â
I sprinted up the stairs. Once I got my helmet I immediately ran downstairs and made sure that my sister didnât get hurt. There was no other way. My sister was just too pretty. Ever since I was a kid, I had to shield her from unwanted attention. I had beaten up quite a few evil perverted bastards back in the dayâ¦
Seeing my angry expression, Meng Yao touched my arm and softly smiled, âBrother, donât be angry. Look at your expression, so not coolâ¦â
I was speechless and retorted, âMeng Yao, is it the same for you in Xia University? Tell your brother the truth, do you have a boyfriend?â
Meng Yao giggled, âNope!â
âBut there has to be a lot of people who are chasing after you, right?â
âItâs OKâ¦â Meng Yao fluttered her eyes and smiled, âDidnât I tell you in high school? Unless a boy more handsome than brother appears, or a boy who gives me a more secure feeling than brother, then I wonât date anyoneâ¦â
I facepalmed and said, âThat⦠will be hard. That sounds like the prelude to nunneryâ¦â
Meng Yao lightly punched my shoulder and replied, âBrotherâs too mean. All you do is make fun of me, youâre even cursing me!â
âNot at all, not at allâ¦â I laughed, âI just hope that my sister can also meet a man who will make her feel secure and love her at all times. Even though there arenât many boys like that, but you should understand the feeling. No matter how talented or handsome a guy is, as a brother I wouldnât want to hand you over to himâ¦â
Meng Yao rubbed her lips and then quietly said, âBrother, I got it. Iâm still young⦠Iâll be at brotherâs side for a long time still⦠That⦠just wait until I catch up on the levels. Iâll join [Zhan Long] too, then Brother can protect meâ¦â
âYup yup, no problem. Iâm not doing anything else tonight. Weâre going to focus on grinding your levels!â
âYes brother⦠mwahâ Meng Yao stood on her tiptoes and then softly kissed my cheek. This little girlâs relationship with me seems just like it had been a few years ago, and nothing seemed to have changed.
We walked over to the bottom of the girls dorm and went to pick up Wan Er and Dong Cheng. Afterwards we left and went back to the hotel that Auntie owned.
We had another feast for dinner. But, by the time dinner started, there were already continuous lovers coming in to rent rooms. Most of them were students from the universities around us. Auntie didnât have a chance to settle down and eat. But, as long as the business was doing good, she was happy. However, today, Meng Yao, Wan Er, Dong Cheng and I took up 4 rooms, losing out on four rooms of rent for her.
In Wan Erâs room, I expertly replaced her bedsheets and patted the bed and smiled, âEven though this isnât on par with a five star restaurant, but itâs at least a four star. Auntie is a kind owner, and so this place is always cleaned and sanitized. Wan Er, you do not need to worry.â
Wan Er grinned, âI got it, idiot. What are you worrying aboutâ¦â
âNo, nothingâ¦â
I smiled, âThen⦠Iâll be next door. If you need anything just call for me in the game. I can get here in minutes. Do you have any plans for the night?â
âIâm going to take a shower first. Then Iâll go grind levels and finish quests with Dong Cheng.â
âAlright!â
I stiffly stood in the room and said, âThen, Iâll be going?â
âOk.â Wan Er smiled sweetly at me, âYouâre going to take Meng Yao to grind levels right? Are you OK on your own? If you need anything, you can call for me too. Dong Cheng and I will happily come at any time to help your sister.â
âGot it!â
I pulled open the door and stepped out. I seemed to have forgotten something and I turned around and walked back in.
Wan Er was a little surprised, âWhatâs up, did you forget something?â
âYup!â
I seriously nodded and then walked forward. I reached out and touched Wan Erâs shoulder. I then looked down and kissed her soft cheek. At that moment, Wan Erâs face went completely red, but her arm was wrapped around my waist. She looked up at me, her eyes filled with love, âPig, hurry up and go back. Otherwise weâll be seen by Meng Yao and Dong Chengâ¦â
âAlright, but you have to let go of me firstâ¦â
âWuâ¦â¦â
