Chapter 461 – Grinding Experience Points

Xiong YaoYue walked in the brightly lit plaza after she had lost the LOL match.

Passersby couldn’t help but send gazes towards Xiong YaoYue as she said her words with sorrow.

“It feels bad. I was playing pretty well at the beginning, I was the one who got first kill.”

“Is it because you weren’t able to play your best?” I tried to cheer her up.

“No, I was playing great, even better than usual.” Xiong YaoYue said decisively, “I lost because the opponent was too strong. I feel ashamed that Miss Ai Mi is letting me be the captain and receive the same salary of an expert like him.”

“Actually, Ren Peng isn’t planning on taking the wages.” I told Xiong YaoYue that Ren Peng’s father was the principal of Qing Zi Academy, but didn’t mention he was Xiao Qin’s cousin.

“So that’s why.” Xiong YaoYue came to a realization, “Ren Peng got more crits than me because he’s a better person than me.”

What, where did that weird logic come from?

“Isn’t it obvious? Ren Peng already reached the realm of no desires since he’s not planning on receiving wages, so he’s a better person. At least better than me who only thinks about money every day.”

I don’t think that Xiong YaoYue only thinks about money every day. Ren Peng doesn’t care about money because he comes from a wealthy family, so he only cares about being known as an LOL god. He definitely hasn’t reached a realm of no desires (All men can reach that state for 3 min after a jack off session).

Xiong YaoYue made a fist with her left hand and punched the palm of her right hand. She had an expression as if to say ‘no wonder I couldn’t beat him’.

“It looks like I have to donate more money.” Xiong YaoYue clutched her chin and speculated, “Once the team is established, I’ll donate half of my wages and see if I could become better.”

Xiong YaoYue, who had found a ‘solution’, now had a happy smile on her face again. She was grinning from ear to ear and both her canines were visible. Even the band-aid under her eye seemed charming.

“I also have to do more kind deeds to become better. Once I become a better person, my crits will go up and I can get my revenge on Ren Peng!”

Before she finished speaking, she had already ran next to an elderly lady.

“Grandma, should I help you cross the road?”

The elderly was scared and probably thought her enthusiasm was abnormal. She might have mistaken Xiong YaoYue as a life insurance salesman and quickly declined:

“It’s okay, my legs work and I can cross myself.”

The signal light turned green and the elderly lady was old but full of vigor. She took small and quick steps to get away from Xiong YaoYue.

Xiong YaoYue didn’t give up and asked an old man: “Grandpa, are you crossing the road?”

Xiong YaoYue could only return in low spirits after successive failures.

“Sigh, it’s too hard to jungle these monsters.” I know Xiong YaoYue didn’t have bad intentions, but it was strange using game terms to describe the elderly.

Hard work eventually gets rewarded. Xiong YaoYue circled around the plaza before she finally found a little boy of 6 or 7 years of age standing under a streetlight and bawling ‘Mommy~~~~’, it was clear he got separated from his mother.

“Ah, a wild brat appeared.” Xiong YaoYue was full of excitement and she rolled up her sleeves as she walked over.

“Don’t cry, I’ll help you find your mom.” Xiong YaoYue made a harmless smile and spoke gently to the little boy, “What does your mom look like, what color clothes is she wearing?”

The little boy wiped his tears with his sleeve and said with certainty: “My mother is a woman.”

No shit, and your dad is a man. The information you provided is about as useless as Microsoft’s help features. It looks like it’s going to take some effort to find his mother.

I told Xiong YaoYue to stay with the boy while I look for his mother, but Xiong YaoYue said:

“You can go home, it’s fine since I’m here. If you stay, then you will take away some of my experience points.”

Are you actually treating this like a game mission? It looks like you’re becoming more addicted to games after coming into contact with Ren Peng, you should use this effort to study more.

I checked my watch and it was already 8pm. If I headed home now, I still had a bit of time at night to manage the online store. Thus I waved goodbye to Xiong YaoYue and the lost kid and headed home.

I looked back as I reached the edge of the plaza and saw a young woman in a red dress run under the streetlight to reunite with her lost son and she continuously expressed her thanks towards Xiong YaoYue.

Xiong YaoYue put her hand on the back of her head in embarrassment while smiling happily, and I seemed to see the shiny text “Character +1, Experience +255, Crit +1%” on the top of her head.

After that, she went around picking up plastic bottles and throwing them into the trash. She was mistaken as a competitor by another elderly woman who was scavenging bottles, the elderly woman only turned happy after Xiong YaoYue gave all the plastic bottles to her.

Putting aside Xiong YaoYue who was trying to gain experience, I arrived home leisurely at around 9. I noticed three dishes of food on the table sealed with cling film. Su Qiao was sitting on the sofa waiting for me to eat together.

Why are you acting like a wife at home waiting for your husband who’s outside fooling around? I’m only your temporary landlord, don’t get a case of mistaken identity!

“You’re back. I’ll microwave the food.”

I was already full from eating at Ai Mi’s place, but Su Qiao waited for me for a couple hours, so I felt bad and ate another meal.

“Next time, don’t wait for me. Just eat first if you’re hungry.”

I ordered Su Qiao and she nodded submissively.

After dinner, I managed the online store while listening to today’s recordings of the listening device. But I didn’t obtain anything of value, there weren’t even any sounds. It seems Su Qiao went out today in the afternoon.

I received a payment from a customer who had received his blow up doll. While I felt like the blow up doll ‘Nancy’ looked like an alien, it was always welcomed when customers with special tastes helped with our inventory backlog problem.

I then remembered we had 50 condoms near their expiration date.

The Durex fire and ice condoms were all complimentary gifts after we made large purchases (so they were just individually packaged ones). Plus, the fire and ice was a bit weird and some people weren’t able to get hard, so the sales was poor.

I checked the calendar and there was still a month before expiration. My dad definitely won’t sell expired condoms and I won’t either. In order to not have any waste, I threw all the condoms into a black plastic bag and planned to bring it to school tomorrow and ask Eunuch Cao to give it to his dad.

Director Cao was the one who consumed the most condoms out of everyone I knew (A whore maniac, and also personally ‘tests’ the female AV actors). I can at least reduce the chance he gets an STD if I give the condoms to him.

Monday morning, the air was fresh and cool, a hard to come by nice day.

I bumped into the class leader who came out of the bicycle shed before I arrived at the school entrance.

I remembered about Friday night, where I told the class leader I liked her through Li CunZhuang. I was anxiously waiting for the class leader’s response the past few days.

“Shu Sha.”

“Ye Lin.”

We both said each others names, then we both stopped to wait for the other to speak first. It immediately turned into an awkward silence.

“Friday night…” I finally picked up the courage and broke the silence.

“I shouldn’t have brought Xiao Zhe out for a run on Friday night.” The class leader changed the topic, “Fortunately, you called for help and we were able to keep out of danger, thank you.”

“No need for thanks, it was my problem in the first place. Speaking of Friday night…”

I wanted to bring the conversation back.

“The baldie on Friday night was the one we met in the alley before, right?” The class leader asked while already knowing the answer, “I let him off too easy by only hitting him once with a rock.”

“Zhao GuangTou wouldn’t easily let the matter rest and he has friends. Shu Sha, be careful outdoors from now on.”

I purposely didn’t call her ‘class leader’ because I was signalling to her that we were discussing a private matter between us. A matter between a man and a woman.

The class leader completely ignored my suggestive attitude, “If I think about it, even if I get a gun as a police, there will still be a time where I’m out of bullets or the gun malfunctions. So as protection I bought some darts and a dartboard from the supermarket yesterday. I already did some practice and it’s quite easy to get the hang of it.”

So now the class leader has officially added throwing weapons to her repository of weapons for when she decides to end my sinful life?

That’s not what I care about, I have to get a reply to my confession.

So I repeated: “Friday night…”

“The man called Tang Jiang might have helped us on Friday night, but he kept pestering and asking if I had a younger sister. Shu Zhe also seems scared of him, he’s a delinquent, right? You should stay away from him from now on.”

“Tang Jiang, he’s already turned over a new leaf… probably.” I noticed the class leader had changed the topic again.

Is it impossible to get a reply for an indirect confession. Do I have to be a man and tell the class leader ‘I like you’?
