Inside KFC.
Lin Yu was still scrolling through his phone, constantly searching for clues about his “online girlfriend”.
He had just proactively sent a message: “Are you awake?”
He hadn't received a reply yet.
In 2014, WeChat could still be registered using QQ numbers.
There weren't as many strict real-name authentication requirements.
Clicking on the transfer interface, he still couldn't see the last character of the other party's name.
Even if he could, Chen Meng Ting Yu was clearly a secondary or backup account.
Because in the Apartment, Aunt Qimeng had created a WeChat group.
Chen Meng Ting Yu was not in it at all.
It was undoubtedly a secondary account.
However, Lin Yu used his main account directly, so the other party definitely knew it was him!
He didn't find any information in Chen Meng Ting Yu's Moments.
There were only some internet pictures, scenic photos, and a few lines of artistic, fresh text.
Not even a hand was photographed; there was nothing to investigate.
Recalling the process of adding Chen Meng Ting Yu initially…
It seemed he was so suppressed he was almost getting sick, so he frantically added people in the ‘People Nearby’ feature.
At that time, he was also a prime example of being brainless.
He didn't even think to use a secondary account for flirting, just went straight in with his only WeChat main account.
Later, very few girls accepted his friend request.
Only two or three could chat with him, and among them, only Chen Meng Ting Yu continued chatting and became his online girlfriend.
After confirming their relationship, their chat occasionally touched on suggestive topics, but it never reached the level of “let me see”.
Later, after Aunt Qimeng passed away, Lin Yu gradually lost contact with Chen Meng Ting Yu.
It was as if she was an AI girlfriend, existing only in a virtual world.
Thinking about it carefully.
There's a girl in the Apartment, whom he sees all the time, and she's secretly chatting suggestively with him.
It actually sounds a bit exciting.
Shouldn't he quickly find her out?
Since real-name authentication and searching through Moments wouldn't work, could there be clues in her online name?
According to Lin Yu's memory.
Since he added Chen Meng Ting Yu, she hadn't changed her name.
So.
This “Yu” absolutely has nothing to do with Lin Yu's “Yu”.
There's no need for any straight man's blind confidence.
A roommate whose name contains “Meng” or “Yu”…
Don't even mention it.
There really is a girl in the Apartment whose name contains “Meng”.
She's even more introverted and socially anxious than Lin Yu!
She's the embodiment of social anxiety.
A girl who's having a secret “underground relationship” and is afraid of being discovered in person, it's highly likely to be her!
Now that he had a direction, he would naturally test it out when he returned.
“Xiao Lin, if you're not eating your ice cream cone, can I have it?”
Lin Yu was pulled back to reality by the soft voice.
Chi Qingchi, sitting across the table, was looking at him longingly… and at the melting ice cream cone in his hand.
He was so focused on finding someone that he neglected Chi Qingchi across from him.
In such a short time, an ice cream cone and a portion of chicken nuggets had already been completely devoured.
How do teenage girls maintain such good figures?
Eating sweets and snacks, yet they don't gain weight.
One ice cream cone wasn't enough, she wanted more!
Anyway, the purpose of coming to the store today wasn't originally to eat ice cream.
Lin Yu generously handed over the ice cream cone.
At the same time, he once again saw the starry light in the girl's eyes.
【Ding!】
【Generously bestowing your own possessions upon a Zong You, causing the Zong You to rejoice, demonstrating the host's broad-mindedness and expansive spirit!】
【Reward: 10 Spirit Stones】
In this short time, the Spirit Stone rewards he received from Chi Qingchi had already exceeded a thousand.
How could he be reluctant to part with a half-price ice cream cone?
After several operations.
Chi Qingchi's favorability in her information bar had increased to 【36%】.
It wasn't far from the next intimacy level.
More importantly.
With another 50 sect contribution, he could have another draw.
Therefore, he must seize the “task princess” at home!
Chi Qingchi slurped away, muttering:
“Xiao Lin, when my older sister comes back, I'll have money, and I'll definitely treat you to a big meal then, you're really a good person.”
Lin Yu leaned on the table, enjoying the sight of the “greedy cat eating”, which was quite pleasing to the eye:
“Good? Not quite good enough.”
Chi Qingchi's mouth was stained with white, her slurping motion paused, and her small expression changed oddly as she corrected herself:
“You're really a good… pervert.”
Lin Yu smiled: “Tsk, accusing me again?”
Chi Qingchi's eyes darted around:
“Hmph, I've seen ‘Let the Bullets Fly’, I know what you're talking about.”
“I'm a shut-in, not stupid, no perverted talk between classmates!”
Lin Yu smiled without speaking.
He really underestimated the little shut-in's movie viewing experience.
“Speaking of which, did your older sister not leave you any money when she went back to her hometown?”
Chi Qingchi avoided Lin Yu's gaze, nodding uncertainly as she said:
“Emmm… yeah, my older sister is usually very stingy, very cheap.”
Believe her and you're a ghost.
How could she not leave money for her own sister to eat, and just go back to her hometown freely?
Lin Yu: “You spent it all on clothes and merchandise, didn't you?”
Chi Qingchi: “How did you know?!”
It was as expected.
She was too easy to read.
She really was a qualified two-dimensional otaku girl.
She'd rather have no money for snacks than save up to buy merchandise.
Presumably, when her older sister Chi Qingshui was around, Chi Qingchi would be more restrained.
But with her older sister back in her hometown, wasn't it over?
Chi Qingchi definitely emptied her piggy bank on shopping!
【Ding!】
【Limited-time mission issued: Crisis has arrived. The host and the Hehuan Sect Bell Messenger's entry into the world has been discovered. Evil Spirit Mister has coveted the Hehuan Sect Bell Messenger for a long time. Please protect the Zong You's safety within the given time limit, and counterattack to assert fellow disciple's sovereignty!】
【Time limit: Eight hours.】
【Mission Reward: 100 sect contribution, 200 Spirit Stones, 1 free draw in the System Mall.】
Lin Yu: “???”
So besides "Daily Quests" and "Urgent Quests", there are also "Limited-Time Quests"!
An Evil Spirit Mister?
Coveting Chi Qingchi?
And for a long time?
Lin Yu quickly scanned the KFC twice.
There weren't many people in the KFC to begin with, and he didn't find any suspicious characters.
So... how did the other party find them?
Who the hell is the Evil Spirit Mister? Can't it give a more accurate hint?
"Limited-Time Quests" differ from the other two types of quests, as they announce the rewards upon completion in advance.
sect contribution, spirit stones, and the lottery — a trifecta that's hard not to be tempted by!
At the same time.
A time limit was set for completion.
This means if it's not completed within eight hours, the quest will be directly canceled.
Just as he was trying to sort things out, Chi Qingchi's WeChat rang.
"Ding-dong."
She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and finished typing a reply in a few seconds.
Lin Yu tentatively asked, "Is it your sister?"
Chi Qingchi shook her head: "No, it's a classmate."
Lin Yu pressed on: "A male classmate from our class?"
Chi Qingchi shook her head again: "A classmate from the club."
Oh-ho.
No need to bother looking again.
Isn't the Evil Spirit Mister here now!
Although he didn't know where this Evil Spirit Mister saw them.
But it doesn't matter.
Now he just needed to consider how to "protect the Zong You's safety," find an opportunity to "retaliate," and seize the chance to "declare his sovereignty."
After some thought, Lin Yu.
He really had to thank the appearance of the Evil Spirit Mister.
Without him, trying to complete other daily quests related to Chi Qingchi would seem unnatural.
With his help, everything would be much easier.
Lin Yu spoke again: "Xiao Chi, I remember you joined the Animation Club, right?"
Chi Qingchi said proudly: "That's right, it's one of the three major clubs in our school."
Lin Yu: "Perfect, can you ask your friend in the club for me, which store in Spring Plaza sells high-quality Zoro figures? Price doesn't matter."
Spring Plaza.
It is a large shopping mall in Pingchuan City with a high flow of people, very popular among young people.
The most famous part is the second floor of the mall, called "Anime Domain."
It gathers all kinds of anime merchandise and two-dimensional goods, almost the favorite paradise for boys and girls in the entire city.
Upon hearing the words Spring Plaza and figures, Chi Qingchi's eyes lit up even brighter than a spotlight.
"Xiao Lin, so you like Zoro!"
"I'll ask him for you; he's the Vice President Zhao of our club, so he should know which one has good quality and a good price."
"I never thought you'd actually like the Three-Sword Style, hehe!"
When they started talking about Chi Qingchi's area of expertise, it was as if her floodgates had opened.
She was messaging and discussing with Lin Yu at the same time.
Who she liked and disliked in One Piece, which part moved her the most, whose death she couldn't accept the most...
【Ding!】
【Crisis Alert! The host has successfully attracted the attention of the Evil Spirit Mister. The opponent harbors deep hostility and has taken further action. Please be careful, host, continue to protect the Zong You, and eliminate the evil spirits and monsters!】
【Additional Stage Reward: 20 Spirit Stones】
Lin Yu listened to Chi Qingchi's eloquent talk with a smile on his face.
The feeling of being reborn with a system was really great.
He could always be one step ahead in whatever he did.
The two chatted until the last sip of cola in Chi Qingchi's cup was gone, making a "sizzling" empty can sound.
Only then did Lin Yu interrupt her, saying:
"Thank you, Xiao Chi. I'm going to Spring Plaza now to check out the store your friend recommended."
"You should head home first. Didn't you plan to watch anime and dramas today?"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he suppressed a smile and observed Chi Qingchi's reaction...
Her pouted lips reappeared!
Chi Qingchi made no move to get up and go home.
Instead, she sat in her chair, biting on her cola straw, occasionally sneaking glances at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, feigning ignorance, asked, "What's wrong? Not going home?"
Chi Qingchi: "I can watch anime anytime. The holiday is so long, Xiao Lin... can you take me with you?"
【Ding!】
【Heavenly move! A casual outing together has made the Hehuan Sect Bell Messenger reluctant to leave, prompting her to request to accompany him again!】
【Reward: 20 Spirit Stones】
Lin Yu showed a difficult expression, muttering:
"Hmph, I don't think that'll work, because... your hands will get sore."
Chi Qingchi immediately sprang up, solemnly promising:
"They won't be sore when we get back, I promise!"
"They won't even be sore after an hour of pressing!"
To go shopping at her favorite place, Chi Qingchi really went all out.
She dared to bid for an hour!
Lin Yu feigned contemplation: "An hour, it's not out of the question, but what if your hands get sore again?"
As he spoke.
He unreservedly looked down at the hem of Chi Qingchi's Lolita dress.
Chi Qingchi swiftly pulled her small feet back.
Just as she said, she was a shut-in, not stupid.
She understood Lin Yu's meaning.
If it were anyone else.
Who dared to be so blatant in their lewdness towards her.
She would have long said goodbye and gone home.
She didn't know why, but Lin Yu's straightforward lewdness, written all over his face, didn't make her feel repulsed.
Was it because his previous image as an introverted little boy was played too well, making Chi Qingchi let down her guard?
Or was it because she had eaten his food, making her feel a bit inferior inside?
Chi Qingchi couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have the time to figure it out now.
Her only thought was to go to Spring Plaza!
So, she steeled herself:
"If my hands get sore, I'll listen to you."
Lin Yu raised his palm: "A shut-in's word."
Xiao Chi slapped his palm: "A promise made is hard to break."
"Slap!"
The agreement was reached.
