Chapter 394: Chapter 395: I am the comforter sent by the company!
"Why didn’t you guys join the guilds in the ruling alliance? Oh and what level are you guys at?" Chu You inquired.
"We couldn’t, there are only 14 guilds in the ruling alliance and they’re all full. Also, being a player in the ruling alliance comes with its own responsibilities, like being extra careful in the wild. As impressive as it is, it carries a big target on your back. We just don’t fit there. I’m level 15, she’s 19. If it wasn’t for me dragging us down, or if we weren’t so busy farming Gold Coin, Jing Ning could have reached level 24. That’d put her at the top-tier, outside of ’Immortal’. And yes, she’s an Unparalleled Player, and you guys?"
Unparalleled Player? They get beaten by me in no time...
"Well, we haven’t transcended yet..." Deep down, however, Chu You admired Dantai Jingning, and was also perplexed at how such a formidable player remained obscure in her past life.
"Do you need Gold Coin? I heard that there are NPCs that can exchange experience points. The exchange rate is pretty high, right now. But since you’re our senior, we can give you a special offer if you’re willing to join in Celestial World." suggested Fang Yuanyuan, soliciting customers. In her eyes, if this man was willing to play Celestial World, he would definitely be a big spender!
Right now, the thing they needed most was a big spender! Though they had a few regular customers in the game, none of them were rich enough to make sizeable purchases without bargaining, and they were also demanding.
"Hmm, I’ll think about it, I’ll remember your IDs. I’ll add you when I log in," Chu You replied casually, not committing to anything just yet.
"Okay, we can do other stuff too, like helping you with fights, we take those commissions as well," Fang Yuanyuan added as an afterthought.
"So, why are you guys heading back to Changling? Classes just started and you’re already heading home," Chu You asked, noticing the lack of cars on the highway. Big rigs weren’t permitted on the expressway.
"Oh, there’s some issues at Jing Ning’s home. We’re going to check it out." The tone was different now, not quite as lively as earlier.
Chu You did not inquire further as it was a personal matter. He turned on the music system, playing some instrumental beats.
Compared to human voices, instrumentals give room for boundless imagination to those who enjoy it.
Chu You was slightly taken aback to find all three girls fiddling with their phones inside the car...
After a while, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly exclaimed while looking at her phone. "Wow, Super God Guild and War Soul Guild are having a match! 24 versus 24! It’s a full-scale team battle!"
"You saw it on the forum?"
"No, I’m watching it live on Qin Suwan’s streaming platform," Fang Yuanyuan promptly replied.
"How’s it looking?"
"They’re still fighting. It’s really heated... But I think War Soul might not stand a chance. Seems like Super God is about to take them out in one fell swoop."
"In one fell swoop..." Dantai Jingning interjected, stating it calmly but with an air of certainty, as if she was an unsurpassed expert who could see through the essence of things.
The outcome didn’t surprise Chu You. But it made him reminisce. When he had first arrived at Chu Kingdom, the Super God Guild was no match for the War Soul Guild. But now, the situation was completely different. Not only were Super God Members showing off their gaming talents more and more but the guild’s inventory was also continuously updated with high-end equipment and Skill Books. This gradually curtailed the advantages of War Soul Guild’s rich players.
Chu You glanced at the speedometer. Driving at 170 kph on the expressway, they would reach Changling in another half-hour.
"Haha, Super God Guild won the match against the War Soul Guild with a 3:0 score! Wow, there was a bet too. 50,000 Gold coins!" Fang Yuanyuan looked up at Chu You, seeming to have remembered something, and asked, "By the way, senior, when... when are you returning to Yuan Jing?"
"Maybe in a few days, I’m not quite sure," Chu You said honestly. If Lin Luor’s mother had trouble or if something came up with Bao’er, those would be variables. He also understood what they were getting at, wondering if they could catch a ride back with him like this time.
"Oh, we’re not sure either, hahaha..."
"It’s okay, I’ll call you when I’m free. If it’s possible, we can head back to Yuan Jing together," Chu You replied nonchalantly.
"That sounds great! Thank you, Brother You." Fang Yuanyuan carefully looked over at Lin Luor, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, still engrossed in her cell phone, likely reading some gaming forums.
Time seemed to fly when they were engaged in conversation. Before they knew it, the skyline of Changling City came into view.
"Where should I drop you? I can give you a lift along the way." Chu You offered, slowing the car down.
After Fang Yuanyuan gave him the name of a place, Chu You headed in that direction as soon as they passed the checkpoint.
When their luxurious SUV arrived in a modest neighborhood, the residents watched in bewilderment, as they had never seen such an expensive car around there.
The door of the vehicle opened and a strikingly young man with an impressive air stepped out. Shortly after, Fang Yuanyuan also got out of the back seat.
Chu You looked around at the environment. This wasn’t a sophisticated neighborhood, the buildings seemed rather old.
After opening the trunk and removing the girls’ luggage, a middle-aged man who had been watching him speak up, "Yuanyuan, you’re back. Did Jing Ning come too?"
"Uncle Cheng, Jing Ning is here," Fang Yuanyuan addressed the middle-aged man as soon as she saw him.
With the wheelchair now out on the ground, Chu You heard Uncle Cheng say, "Good that she’s here. There’s been another fight today, quickly get her to settle things." After saying this, he sighed deeply, and Fang Yuanyuan’s face fell.
The SUV was quite high, not like a small car, so the job of lifting Dantai Jingning down could only be done by Chu You. Thus, he silently came to the back seat again, lifting this ’extraordinary woman’ from inside. During the process of lifting, Dantai Jingning didn’t avoid him like before, but rather looked calmly at the man who was lifting her.
However, Chu You did not meet her gaze, and only showed his usual smile when he was about to leave after placing Dantai Jingning in the wheelchair.
"Thank you, Brother You."
"Brother You, thank you so much, you’re so nice." Fang Yuanyuan noticed that Lin Luor did not get out of the car, and smiled at Chu You.
"It’s nothing, is this your place?" He nodded here, "Then I’ll be going. "he originally wanted to say ’Call me if you need anything’, but immediately denied it and said goodbye instead.
"Alright, can I call Brother You if I need anything?" Fang Yuanyuan asked, Chu You sensed that she seemed to be making a great effort to hide her unease. Fang Yuanyuan said this with a surge of courage, not thinking too much before saying it. It seemed that she wanted to desperately hold on to something.
Chu You’s expression didn’t change as he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you can."
Just as they were about to wave goodbye and Chu You was about to turn around and leave, it seemed that there was an argument going on inside the apartment complex. Both women rushed to look inside.
Chu You noticed that aside from Fang Yuanyuan’s change in demeanor, Dantai Jingning didn’t seem to react. She appeared... very indifferent.
Fang Yuanyuan, carrying her suitcase, placed the game helmet on the lap of Dantai Jingning, who was sitting in the wheelchair. She operated the wheelchair with both hands and the two of them went inside the apartment complex.
Chu You then got back into the car, turned his head to look at Lin Luor, took a deep breath and asked, "Baby, where to now?"
Lin Luor had been looking out of the car window all this time until Chu You got back in the car. Then she turned her head and said, "To the People’s Hospital."
After setting the route again, the car slowly drove away.
"Who was that man just now?" Uncle Cheng came over to Fang Yuanyuan and asked in a low voice, seemingly curious.
"He’s my senior from university."
"Hehe, from Royal University, it seems like he comes from a wealthy family."
Fang Yuanyuan smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
Looking at the buildings and surroundings on the street, Chu You thought about the city he’d lived in for 18 years, or rather almost 25 years if you included his previous life. He felt a wave of emotion. He had been here before but at that time, his mind had been preoccupied with Bao’er and he hadn’t been able to take the city route. As such, he hadn’t been sentimental then, but now, he found himself reminiscing.
This place gave him a feeling of being both familiar and strange.
In a short while, this luxurious and impressive SUV drove directly into the underground garage of the People’s Hospital. Lin Luor looked at Chu You with surprise on her face.
"Are you... are you planning to come up with me?" Even she could hardly believe what she was saying.
"What, feeling nervous? You’re bringing a man home to meet the family, so soon, huh?" Chu You said, laughing.
"Chu You, this..." Lin Luor hadn’t been prepared for this at all and was a bit flustered. "It’s not like that, the thing is... it’s just not the right time." She said the last sentence in a very low voice.
"Relax! I’ll pretend I’m not your boyfriend, don’t worry."
"Eh... What do you mean pretend you’re not my boyfriend?" Lin Luor blinked, looking puzzled.
"It’s simple..." He said, and then winked at a bewildered Lin Luor.
After parking the car, Lin Luor looked helplessly at Chu You as he picked up the suitcase and some products. Finally, with a reluctant yet sweet feeling, they stepped into the elevator together.
The elevator quickly reached the 7th floor. When she saw the long hallway of the hospital, Lin Luor’s mood inevitably became heavy. Finally, the two of them found the ward that Mother Lin had recently moved into. From the window, they could see that Mother Lin was resting.
They gently pushed the door open and, when Chu You put the items he brought on the table, Mother Lin woke up. She opened her eyes and the first person she saw was Chu You, before she saw Lin Luor, who was standing with her hands in her pockets and looking worried.
Seeing Lin Luor, Mother Lin noticed that she looked much worse than before.
"Luor, you’re here." Mother Lin showed a weak smile, then her gaze shifted to the polite young man standing near her bed, and she asked with the same smile, "Luor, who is this?"
"This is a representative sent by the company, his name is Jun Yuyou, you can call him Xiao You."
"Aunt Lin, how do you do? I’m a representative sent by the Tianchu Group, specifically to see you." Chu You introduced himself in time.
"...Is your surname Jun, or Jun Yu?"
"Jun Yu."
