Chapter 83: Lighthouse Village (Part 1)

Wang Weilin volunteered upon hearing this, "It's right under your nose, how about me?"

Geng Shu replied, "A rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its own burrow; I suggest finding someone you don't know."

Zhang Tu laughed, "Old Geng, aren't you excluding yourself as well?"

Geng Shu said, "I have a girlfriend."

Wang Weilin: "... You really are a dog!"

Su Xi raised her wine glass, "Just a joke, bottoms up, bottoms up."

After downing it in one gulp, she changed the subject and continued chatting animatedly.

At night, Su Xi found an inn to rest.

The Ling Gu she used to cultivate in had now been rebuilt into a guild community, and the hot springs had also become the guild's private property.

The once deserted official service center was now filled with players seeking consultation at all hours.

Player Inn No. 32—

"It's truly bustling." Su Xi leaned on the balcony of her inn room, watching the streets below; it was filled with players everywhere, quite lively.

On the balcony next door, there was a youth with short white hair, distressfully tapping away at his system light screen.

Seeing this, Su Xi greeted him, "Hello there, friend, do you need any help?"

The white-haired youth looked up, revealing a delicate face that still held a trace of childishness, his deep gray eyes filled with obvious introversion and shyness, "Sorry, I disturbed you."

"It's fine." Su Xi smiled gently, "My name is Da Miao, what should I call you?"

"My name is... Fei Er Si Te Yan, just call me Xiao Yan."

"Does Xiao Yan have any troubles?" Su Xi asked.

Xiao Yan scratched his head, his originally smooth short hair immediately becoming messy, "It's just that I accepted a quest, but I didn't realize it had a player count requirement; it needs at least two players. I wanted to find players I knew just now, but none of them are free."

Su Xi said, "Add me as a friend and let me see the quest."

"Okay." Xiao Yan added Su Xi as a friend, "It's about villagers in a village who keep disappearing mysteriously, investigate the villager disappearance case—【Lighthouse Village】"

"I'll go with you, it just so happens I haven't accepted the quest yet." Su Xi said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's deep gray eyes flashed with a dazzling light, "Thank you, Da Miao."

Su Xi smiled, "How old are you this year?"

Xiao Yan replied, "Nineteen years old."

"You are indeed young, I'm a bit older than you." Su Xi laughed.

"Nice to meet you, Sister Miao." Xiao Yan said with a shy smile.

Su Xi rested her chin on one hand, examining Xiao Yan's features, "Looking closely, your eyes are a bit like a younger sister of mine."

Xiao Yan: "... This, it's inevitable that there would be some similarities."

Su Xi nodded, thinking of Xiao Mi's sweet and soft appearance, she felt a sense of emptiness in her arms; when she was with her, her arms were always warm.

Habit is truly a terrifying thing; once formed, it becomes an instinct.

She was actually looking at the youth and thinking he looked like Xiao Mi. Perhaps it was his white hair that reminded her of Xiao Mi, who looked like a little white mouse.

"Leaving early tomorrow morning?" Su Xi said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded, "Okay, tomorrow morning, we'll set off after we've had breakfast."

"That works." Su Xi nodded, then looked back at the street.

A little girl selling medicinal herbs passed by, her clothes tattered, some parts patched, and some parts not even having patches.

Her thin, small face made her eyes look exceptionally large, and there were some scratches on the tips of her ears; the wounds were untreated and just left exposed.

"Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid—who wants Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid, a potion that can save lives."

"Little girl, can you bring it up here?" Su Xi called out to the little girl.

Hearing the call, the little girl looked up at Su Xi, then immediately beamed and nodded, "Yes, big sister, wait a moment."

The little girl entered Inn No. 32.

Su Xi took some food out of her System Space and placed it on the small tea table on the balcony.

After the little girl arrived, she beckoned to her, "Come here, little sister."

The little girl carried the bag filled with Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid and walked toward Su Xi, her eyes involuntarily drifting toward the food on the small tea table.

"I'll take all the Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid." Su Xi said to the little girl.

"Thank you, big sister." The little girl looked at the food and licked her lips, "Big sister, can I trade the Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid for some food?"

"Sure." Su Xi squatted down to be at eye level with the little girl, "How many Game Points do you want to sell your Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid for?"

"One Game Point per bottle of Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid." The little girl replied, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at the food.

Su Xi looked at the food; it was all stuff she had bought for Xiao Mi. Some of it was worth far more than one point; the exquisite boxed milk alone cost 20 points a box.

"How about you trade all your Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid for this food?"

"Ah? No, no." The little girl said, "Big sister would be at a loss."

She knew that those loaves of bread and cartons of fresh milk cost over a dozen points each.

Su Xi shook her head, "It's not expensive, these are all close to their expiration date, very cheap. But your Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid can save lives~ that value is much higher, it's me who's taking advantage."

"Really?"

"Yes."

The little girl immediately gave all the Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid to Su Xi.

Su Xi packed all the food for her.

"Thank you, big sister, when I pick better Dragon Immortal Grass Liquid, I'll sell it to you again, okay?" The little girl said happily, hugging the bag.

"Sure~" Su Xi patted her head, "Go back quickly now."

The little girl said, "My name is Leixiya, goodbye big sister."

"Goodbye, little Leixiya~" Su Xi waved her hand.

Xiao Yan leaned against the balcony, watching Su Xi and Leixiya, until Leixiya left, then he said to Su Xi, "You are very kind-hearted."

Su Xi looked at him and smiled, "But only towards cubs. See you tomorrow morning."

"Alright, see you tomorrow morning," Xiao Yan replied.

He opened the system, and after some operations, he also returned to his room.

Su Xi finished her bath and lay down on the bed.

Just as she was about to sleep, she heard Er Miao say in surprise: 【Host, the God has rewarded you with 1000 God Points!】

【Huh?】 Su Xi was also very surprised; this was equivalent to ten missions, 【What is the reason?】

Er Miao replied: 【The host is sincere and kind, possessing a heart full of compassion and love.】

Su Xi was stunned, thinking of Leixiya, 【Could it be that the God saw me buying the Dragon Immortal Grass liquid for Leixiya?】

【Yes, Host, the God is everywhere.】 Er Miao replied solemnly, one must be cautious in words and deeds!

Su Xi also secretly cautioned herself, 【Indeed!】

She hadn't expected that even a small thing done on a whim could be seen by the God and even rewarded with points.

She suddenly felt that this God called 24 wasn't entirely useless. At least in terms of perception, it was still quite fair and just.

【After deducting the previous debt, the host has now earned 600 God Points!】 Er Miao said happily.

Su Xi smiled, 【You don't like debt either, do you.】

Er Miao said, 【Yes, Host.】

Su Xi adjusted her posture, hugged her pillow, and went to sleep.

After she fell asleep, Er Miao suddenly entered an update state...
