Chapter 341 - 317: Triggered a Random Quest Again
Chapter 341: Chapter 317: Triggered a Random Quest Again
Ye Ling spent a while longer shooting the breeze with his buddies in the dorm. It was around three or four in the afternoon when Ning Ruoxi sent him a message, telling him she had finished her business.
"Alright guys, I’m out. Going to hang out with my girlfriend!" Ye Ling said as he stood up, addressing He Jian and the others.
"Go on, go on. Figures. All men are the same!" He Jian sighed with mock sorrow.
Yang Yu, the resident drama queen, chimed in, "Is this the legendary ’ditching your old pals for your new love’? Brother Ling, I’m heartbroken!"
Ye Ling stared speechlessly at the two of them as a thousand expletives ran through his mind.
’Old love?’
Brother Ling would like to state that he felt offended!
"You guys should get a move on. I gave you such a great opportunity last time. Don’t waste it. We can’t let Dorm 3222 really become the lonely-hearts dorm," Ye Ling retorted.
At this point, Dorm 3222 could truly be called the lonely-hearts dorm!
For starters, Ye Ling no longer lived in Dorm 3222. As for the remaining three, after a full semester of their freshman year, it came as no surprise that they were all still single!
A veritable monastery.
"Sigh... Brother Ling, I think I’m going to give up," He Jian sighed.
"What’s wrong?"
Ye Ling asked, a little surprised. "You didn’t just confess to her directly, did you?"
"No... It’s mainly because I feel like it’s too expensive."
He Jian shook his head and explained, "I asked that girl, Zhang Xuan, out before. But I found out that a meal costs a good chunk of change, a movie costs more, and you can’t just take a girl out on the bus, right? A taxi ride costs even more! A single date and a few hundred bucks are just gone."
"You deserve to be single."
The corner of Ye Ling’s mouth twitched.
’Thinking it’s too expensive? Seriously?’
Brother Ling would like to state: this man was a lost cause!
Ye Ling left the dorm area and headed straight for the academic building. When he arrived, Ning Ruoxi was already standing out front, having waited for him for quite some time.
"Silly girl, why are you standing outside? It’s windy."
Ye Ling walked over, pulled Ning Ruoxi into his arms, and ruffled her hair.
"It’s already spring, it’s not cold!"
Ning Ruoxi stuck her tongue out playfully, then smiled sweetly. "I want to drink Snow Tea!"
"Okay, I’ll go buy you some right now," Ye Ling said dotingly.
On the way to buy the Snow Tea, Ye Ling told Ning Ruoxi about the post on the campus wall.
"Gaoxun? I think I’ve heard of him..." Ning Ruoxi said, suddenly raising an eyebrow.
"You’ve heard of him?"
Ye Ling looked over, curious.
"Yeah! I think Yaya mentioned him to me before," Ning Ruoxi said after a moment’s thought. "This Gaoxun is a graduate student at our university. He went to study abroad a while ago. He’s a total show-off."
"’Show-off’ really captures his essence!"
Ye Ling nodded in agreement.
He hadn’t guessed wrong. This Gaoxun really was a show-off!
"Did you know? This guy did something hilarious a while back..." Ning Ruoxi said, suddenly remembering a funny story.
"What was it?" Ye Ling asked.
"Apparently, Gaoxun was chasing after this girl, and he copied those big confession scenes with fresh flowers and candles. But he thought that was too low-class, so he replaced the fresh flowers with ones folded from gold foil. In the end, the girl slapped him."
As Ning Ruoxi told the story, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Holy crap!"
Ye Ling was utterly shocked.
’Confessing with flowers made of gold foil? Seriously?’
As expected.
This Gaoxun wasn’t just a show-off; he was a brainless show-off.
’Giving a girl fake flowers is basically cursing her! And he still expected her to get together with him?’
"I think it’s embarrassing to be targeted by someone like him," Ye Ling said, speaking his mind.
"I think so too."
Ning Ruoxi nodded in agreement, then suddenly added, "You know, if the bigwigs at the Fruit Group found out about this, they’d probably be angry enough to spit blood."
The top brass at the Fruit Group wanted to go after Ye Ling, and Gaoxun also wanted to go after Ye Ling. Did that mean the Fruit Group executives were on the same level as Gaoxun?
This had to be the most savage diss the Fruit Group had ever received.
"I feel like you’re making fun of me," Ye Ling said, glancing at the little minx.
Although her words seemed fine on the surface, he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was reveling in his misfortune.
"Hehe, I’m just giving you a chance to shine, Ling God. You haven’t made an appearance on campus for a long time. This is the perfect opportunity to make a comeback!"
Ning Ruoxi said coaxingly, wrapping her arm around Ye Ling’s shoulder.
DING!
’Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a random mission: The Legend of Ling God!’
’The Host, known as Ling God, has long been an idol in the hearts of countless Modu University students. Now, a petty scoundrel has issued a provocation. The Host is requested to counterattack this scoundrel and restore the majesty of Ling God!’
’Mission rewards will be determined by the impact of the Host’s counterattack. Please take this mission seriously.’
A series of notifications echoed in Ye Ling’s mind, and he froze on the spot.
Holy crap!
Ye Ling couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.
’That triggered a random mission?’
’Suddenly, this Gaoxun guy doesn’t seem so annoying anymore. In fact... he’s actually kind of great, isn’t he?’
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing Ye Ling frozen in place, Ning Ruoxi waved a hand in front of his face, looking puzzled.
"It’s nothing. I remember there’s a Snow Tea shop up ahead. Let’s go get you that milk tea," Ye Ling said, shaking his head with a light chuckle.
"Okay!"
Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently.
