Chapter 199: Being a Breadwinner is Hard

Li Chunhua spent the rest of the bathing in peace and swiftly snuck inside main residence avoiding Meng Chu and the others who were making weights per Elga’s orders.

She did her best blending in the shadows while the victims of her singing continued to discuss her deadly deeds.

"That was awful. If I had that kind of voice, I would just shut my mouth all the time..."

"I thought it was the pig in the pen but even that pig fainted from the terrible noise..."

"I wonder who that was, is he tone deaf..."

Right after the three youths said them, something hit their heads causing them to let out pig-like screams on far with Li Chunhua’s voice earlier.

[-45] [-67] [-57]

Meng Chu and the others were startled by their shouts. "What happened to you?"

The three gasped in pain, clutching their heads, before looking around and when they couldn’t spot anyone, they looked at each other and shivered. "Could it be a ghost?"

The three looked around once more.

"No way! This game planet had ghost monsters too?"

Li Chunhua threw the tiny pebbles in her hand to the ground overcome with guilt before throwing three pieces of copper equipment to the three.

[-28] [-42] [-34]

The three youths was hit again in the back of their heads but the complaints stuck in their throats when they saw the copper equipment on the ground.

They each picked one and when they confirmed the equipment were genuine, they looked at each other in disbelief. This ghost seems to be rich and a masochist too!

Li Chunhua who was sneaking away almost tripped when she heard the new barrage of insult. She lengthen her patience and chanted a long list of menu.

Baozi, just don’t mind them. Someday someone will appreciate your voice! She comforted herself before jumping in the window of her bedroom.

The crocs spotted a silhouette entering the window and bleated loudly. "Meh! Meh!" (Dragon Summoner, there’s a thief sneaking in your window!)

Li Chunhua took out a flashlight and when the crocs saw it was her, they let out a flattering mehs. (So it was the Dragon Summoner! Sorry, your silhouette became beautiful that’s why we couln’t recognize you.)

Unable to understand them, Li Chunhua closed the window before opening the door of the bedroom. That’s when she noticed there seems to be someone using the kitchen.

And one person came to her mind. The bad memories of being bashed instantly vanished.

Free food, here I come!

"Chef Long, do you need any help?"

Long Haoran stiffened, turned around and saw Xiao Hua by the door looking at blue carrots on the chopping board.

Li Chunhua would normally gather her hair in a ponytail but now, it was let loose, cascading behind her back with some of it covering the baby fats on her cheeks, reducing the immaturity of her appearance.

Taken aback by the change, Long Haoran fell into short trance.

Li Chunhua closed the door and dragged a chair and placed it besides the table. Sitting with both of her elbows resting on the table and her head placed on her palms, she spoke, "Chef Long, there’s a newly built bathroom and toilet on the east outside, if you want to relieve yourself and wash. Just don’t try to sing."

"Oh and I also have spare soap." Li Chunhua added before taking out one ash lye soap and placing in the corner of the table.

Sing?

At her words, Long Haoran then noticed the flush on her cheeks and her hair was fluffier and shinier and that unique scent even became stronger.

"Chef Long...I’ll help you cut that vegetable. I’m professional when it comes to cutting. Side chop, front chop, back chop or completely chop..."

"Chef Long...what are you staring at...Is there a stain on my face?" Li Chunhua touched her face.

"Chef Long?"

Long Haoran continued to observe the other changes on her until he saw an enlarged face coming towards him.

"Chef Long! Did you hear me?" Li Chunhua slightly raised her voice and waved her hand in front of the man causing Long Haoran to wake up from his stupor and leaned back.

Seeing him not distracted anymore, Li Chunhua went back to her seat before asking, "Are you thinking of your brother?"

Caught in the act, Long Haoran lowered his head. His throat bobbed a little before he replied. "I am." The tip of his ears had abnormal blush after uttering a lie.

"Chef Long, don’t worry, I will help as much I could. Well except for coins because I’m broke too. The title of an RMB player that someone keeps shoving to me is a lie. If ever I’m unable to pay the debt, I’ll prepare as a casket...wait, I’m going to be ashes at that time, so what’s the point of a casket..."

Her speech became more depressing and confusing as the seconds goes by and Long Haoran who was attentively listening spoke, interrupting her, "You have a debt?" Someone as rich as her and who can gather coins like the mountain was her bank and the monsters were her debtors actually has a debt?

"I do." Li Chunhua sighed in sadness before continuing, "The scammer system will zap me with 81 lightning if I failed to pay 25 gold coins weekly..." Whoever designed the Dessert Haven Theme is a genius. She wondered how many player had fallen in this scheme.

Another sigh escaped her lips, "Being the breadwinner is hard, especially if you have so many gluttons to feed... and when your stomach is also bottomless pit..."

Long Haoran stayed silent and listened.

Li Chunhua kept talking and talking about her hardships and how her life was deviating from intending path of the salted fish goals until she saw Chef Long pushed some things towards her.

It was more than 20 large pouches made from white quality cloth equipment.

Li Chunhua opened one and saw the glittering copper coins inside. She also opened the others before asking Long Haoran in incredulity, "What are these for?"
