Kapitel 50: Chapter 50: Cold Moon
In the city of Jinling, Wu Shaochen entered a restaurant and sat down at a table. He ordered a variety of dishes. After playing the game for so long, he had never eaten in-game before and wanted to experience it. However, the food in the game was not cheaper than outside, in fact, it was even more expensive. This table of dishes cost about 1 gold coin, which was equivalent to about 1,000 dollars. Honestly, Wu Shaochen had never eaten such expensive food before.
But although it was pricey, the taste was really good. It was much more delicious than the food outside. The in-game dishes were all natural and made from ingredients he had never eaten before, including various wild beasts that he had never seen before. The quality of the meat from these wild beasts was incomparable to the outside world.
Moreover, eating in the game didn't make you gain weight. This was a huge temptation for players who loved to eat but were afraid of gaining weight. No wonder these restaurants were doing so well.
At this moment, the entire restaurant was packed with people, both players and NPCs. There were more players compared to NPCs. The first floor of the restaurant was the main hall, while the second floor had private rooms. Wu Shaochen didn't bother going to a private room and just sat in the main hall on the first floor.
The main hall was bustling with noise. Eating, drinking, and boasting were the norm in life. That's why there were so many people choosing the expensive private rooms. The main hall was just too noisy. Wu Shaochen asked and found out that the minimum spending in a private room was 10 gold coins, which was equivalent to ten thousand dollars. Most people couldn't afford that.
"Did you guys see the big battle at the entrance just now? It was so exciting."
"Of course, I watched it. It got my blood boiling. Dust-Sealed Great God is amazing, fighting against thousands, killing arrogant heroes and making them flee."
"Yeah, those arrogant heroes were too arrogant. They needed to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they would think Jinling City belonged to them. They even blocked the entrance. I must say, Dust-Sealed Great God did a great job."
"From now on, I'm a loyal fan of Dust-Sealed Great God. I'll confront anyone who dares to speak ill of him."
Listening to their discussion, Wu Shaochen smiled faintly. At this moment, he appeared as if he wasn't wearing a mask, but in reality, he had just changed the appearance of his Dust-Sealed Mask. Now, the mask resembled a layer of skin stuck to his face, completely transforming his appearance. He had also bought several sets of fashionable clothing from a clothing store. These types of clothing didn't occupy equipment slots or have any attributes, but they could change the appearance of equipment. They were loved by many female players, as equipment appearances could be quite ugly. Now, with a new face and wearing fashionable clothes, Wu Shaochen confidently sat in the main hall, and no one recognized him.
The Dust-Sealed Mask's transformed appearance was a bit stiff and not as versatile as a disguise skill that could completely change a person's appearance. But for Wu Shaochen, this was already satisfactory. At least nobody could recognize his true identity.
While Wu Shaochen was enjoying his meal, a woman dressed in white with a veil approached his table and sat down, whispering, "You seem quite leisurely!"
The person was none other than Su Muxue. She was still surprised that he had readily agreed to help her. Could it be a case of a miracle happening?
"How did you know it was me?" Wu Shaochen asked in confusion. After all, he had changed his appearance from head to toe.
"You appeared in public, so naturally, there would be many people secretly following you. Even if you change your appearance, there will still be people who recognize you," Su Muxue explained.
"Well, it seems like my efforts were in vain," Wu Shaochen sighed helplessly.
"Not entirely. At least the people who have been following you all this time won't be able to recognize you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to eat so peacefully," Su Muxue said seriously.
"Yeah, you're right. Next time I go to the wilderness, I'll change my outfit and no one will recognize me," Wu Shaochen nodded.
Then he continued, "By the way, do you want to try the food here? It's really good."
Looking at the messy dishes on the table, Su Muxue shook her head and said, "I won't eat. I came here mainly to thank you. The people from Arrogant Heroes have all retreated and they are no longer targeting us."
"Oh? Finally, they've learned their lesson. Now you can focus on leveling up and getting better equipment. Once you become stronger, you won't have to fear them anymore," Wu Shaochen advised.
"Why... why did you agree to help me? And so easily, without asking for any rewards?" Su Muxue nervously asked.
"Oh, about that, it's not really helping you. It's just that I didn't like them, and this situation was also caused by me, so naturally, I should take care of it," Wu Shaochen casually replied.
"I see," Su Muxue said somewhat awkwardly. "Anyway, thank you."
Then she stood up and said, "I still have to take them to level up. I'll leave now. Enjoy your meal." And she walked towards the exit.
As Su Muxue left, Wu Shaochen continued to eat and drink. He couldn't let all the dishes he ordered go to waste. But just as he started eating, another voice came.
"Can I sit here?"
Wu Shaochen looked up and couldn't help but brighten up when he saw the beautiful woman standing in front of him. She was in her twenties, with long hair and a somewhat cold gaze. She looked like an icy beauty.
"Uh, sure..."
Wu Shaochen couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by her gaze. Unlike the ethereal aura of Su Muxue, the coldness of this woman seemed intentional, like an icy mountain that made him feel cold just by looking at her.
"Thank you..."
The woman sat down quietly across from Wu Shaochen without saying a word, just staring straight at him.
"Um, why are you staring at me?" Wu Shaochen felt uneasy under her gaze.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious about you," the woman replied.
...
"Curious about what? I'm not an alien," Wu Shaochen cast a strange look at the woman. Whatever, let her look. He continued eating.
Wu Shaochen continued devouring the food in front of him, but the woman remained silent. She just kept watching him. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Wu Shaochen spoke up, "Would you like to have some?"
The woman shook her head and continued to stare at him.
...
"Do I have something on my face?" Wu Shaochen had to ask again.
"You're wearing a mask, so I can't tell," the woman replied.
...
"What do you want? I can't eat with you staring at me like this," Wu Shaochen felt a bit overwhelmed.
"We are all starting from the same line, how come you are so strong?" the woman finally asked the question she had been wanting to ask.
"Am I really strong? I don't think so," Wu Shaochen shrugged.
...
An odd expression appeared on the woman's face, and then she asked, "Is it because of your talent? What is your talent?"
Wu Shaochen was surprised by the woman's intelligence. She had figured out that talent might be the reason, but he wasn't ready to reveal his talent just yet, so he replied, "It's a secret!"
The woman nodded, apparently expecting this answer. Then she continued, "My name is Lengyue. Can we be friends?"
...
"Okay, another friend request," Wu Shaochen felt a bit overwhelmed. But considering he had already accepted one request, adding another one wouldn't hurt, especially since they were both beautiful women. He sent a friend request.
Soon, Lengyue appeared on Wu Shaochen's friend list: Lv. 15 Archer.
Wu Shaochen was surprised. This girl was already level 15. Considering that the average player level was around 14, reaching level 15 meant she was definitely skilled. However, he couldn't see any signs of her being a skilled player.
