Chapter 98: Chapter 8: You still owe me 1 match!
Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mu Fan walked into the room and found that although the hotel looked a bit run-down from the outside, the interior facilities were quite complete. The room was small. Mu Fan walked to the window, pushed open the vintage wooden window, and looked at the sparse pedestrians below.
This hotel was located in a very quiet area, and Mu Fan was quite satisfied with the environment here.
Oh right, I need to contact the fat guy. I didn’t have a chance to explain to him earlier; he’s probably getting impatient by now.
He pulled out the Sky Communication device, sponsored by the Fowen Consortium, and pressed the fat guy’s avatar. The call connected quickly.
“Mu Fan? Bro! I usually have nothing to say, but today Fat Brother has to give you a big thumbs up!” The fat guy, unsure what he was eating, wiped his mouth and immediately gave a thumbs-up to Mu Fan on the other end of the Sky Communication, as if nothing had happened after killing someone.
“I’ll be in Zone D for the next couple of days, so I won’t be going back,” Mu Fan got straight to the point.
...
“You’re not coming here? I’ve already booked the hotel, and the exams are held here too,” the fat guy asked in surprise.
“I’m not going. I’ve got arrangements for the exams here,” Mu Fan didn’t explain too much to the fat guy.
The fat guy looked at Mu Fan’s image on the Sky Communication device with confusion, thinking that ever since he had known Mu Fan, he seemed to be getting more and more mysterious.
“If you change your mind before the exam, there is still time. Just contact me anytime.”
“Okay.”
After a bit of small talk, they hung up the Sky Communication. Mu Fan’s fingers kept flipping a dark black dagger, the spoils from the Star Thief; he always had the habit of flipping it between his fingers when thinking.
What to do now? Suddenly, he accidentally glanced out the window and saw a building with “Rain After Internet Cafe” written on it.
…
Tianhua Avenue, located in Zone A of the Purple Jade Star, was a high-end yet tranquil street, exclusively for the affluent to live, relax, and shop.
By the side of Tianhua Avenue, a distinctive manor entrance bore a shield emblem. The elite on the Purple Jade Star all recognized this emblem as it was the symbol of the Wang Clan Family of Loki Heavy Industry.
At this moment, a long-legged beauty was lounging on a sofa in the lobby, her curvaceous figure accentuated by denim hot pants and a chiffon top. She was none other than Wang Nuonuo, the little princess of Loki Heavy Industry.
Right now, Wang Nuonuo was fiddling with the pink Sky Communication device in her hand. Her fingers kept sliding through the projections in the air as she browsed the PO Battle Net forum. Ever since that night, inexplicably, she had become famous.
Now, there was a post that had become a hot topic in the Fantasy Zone section—”Powerful Pretender of the Fantasy Zone Level 5 Room.”
This post was visible every time she logged in! Wang Nuonuo tossed a cherry into her mouth, angrily poking at the screen.
“I didn’t want to be this popular! Hmph, these people are really annoying. And that Big Egg Man, too, he disappeared after that incident. Is this really fair to Miss Wang?” Right now, Wang Nuonuo cursed Mu Fan incessantly, yet she chose to selectively ignore the hundreds of pages of replies full of praises for the RX-16.
Player A: “This is definitely a master’s level, on par with me.”
Player B: “The real experts are among the people. Take a look at that female mecha, way too weak. But her mecha holding a shield is adorable; the girl must be pretty.”
Player C: “Can’t find any information on that female player. She seems to have hidden her personal details.”
Player D: “We found that master’s ID, but it seems like they haven’t been online recently.”
Wang Nuonuo gritted her teeth while watching the increasingly off-topic thread. Luckily, she was smart enough to block her personal information, saving herself from countless buzzing bees.
Pity my beautiful looks! She narcissistically touched her own cheek and sighed.
“What’s wrong, miss?” The nanny beside her noticed that the young lady was sighing on the sofa and couldn’t help but ask.
“Oh, it’s nothing, too many social engagements, can’t decide which one to pick.” She casually tossed another big cherry into her mouth, Wang Nuonuo replied casually.
“Miss indeed has the bearing of a great family. Even Chairman Wang is busy every day,” the nanny looked at the young lady with admiration; in her eyes, everyone in this family was exceptionally capable.
“Uh, haha~” Embarrassingly chuckling, Wang Nuonuo thought how could she compare with her grandfather. If her grandfather saw her like this, he would surely drag her to the company to discuss mecha parameters with a group of engineers, all the while talking about energy buffering devices, linear thrust commands, and the metal percentage of alloy steels.
Just thinking about it was a headache!
“Speaking of which, the big exam is in two days, and recently there has been a noticeable increase in people coming to the Purple Jade Star. Even the social engagements on my grandfather’s side have increased.”
“Miss, there’s a communication from the Zhang Family’s young master. I didn’t dare answer on my own, but he left a message saying he wanted to invite you for a walk,” the nanny, who left the hall, returned again, gesturing towards the guest area’s Sky Communication device, asking if she should respond.
“Do not see him! Do not answer any messages from Zhang Yuanren, do not return any either. Seriously, like a stinky bee, buzzing all the time, it’s so annoying!”
Just hearing the words, “the young master of the Zhang Family,” she knew it was Zhang Yuanren from the Birch Group. The Zhang Family intended for Zhang Yuanren to associate with her, but she just didn’t like such a honey-tongued person, dressed to deceive.
She was too simple, too easily deceived!
This was what her grandmother said before leaving, so her friends had to be sincere, had to be simpler than herself. Ho ho ho ho.
Also, she’s still young.
The nanny had no idea so many thoughts had already passed through her young lady’s mind.
She preferred to stay home rather than go out! Chuchu seemed to be preparing for exams and was thinking of applying for the Ship’s Medical Department.
Then what should Miss Wang apply for? Wang Nuonuo tapped her chin with her finger, thinking. The big exam was so boring, no one to play with.
Miss Wang’s major should be one level higher than Chuchu’s, so Command Department it is.
Haha, with this realization, Wang Nuonuo happily ate another cherry, her cute little feet playfully swinging back and forth with joy.
The enlightened Miss Wang was immersed in her spiritual world, unable to extricate herself.
Suddenly, the Sky Communication device gave a “ding,” popping up a small bubble, “Your friend ‘Egg Lord’ is online.”
“Let’s form a party and go travel to the Sky View Asteroid after Chuchu finishes the exams in a few days, heh heh… what, who’s online!” The cherry pit wasn’t even spat out as Wang Nuonuo, in the twin-poking pout posture, lowered her head to look at the Sky Communication device resting on her belly.
“Big Egg Man, Big Fool, Big Barbarian Bear!” The young beauty jumped up from the sofa immediately.
The nanny beside her was startled; who’s information did the young lady see to make her so enthusiastic? Should I take a moment to report to the grand master?
“Hahaha, Aunt Li, you go ahead and work. Rest if you need to, I’m off to play!” Cherries forgotten, the Sky Communication device casually thrown onto the sofa, the well-proportioned young beauty bounced out of the hall.
“Miss Wang is here, you still owe me a match!” She excitedly muttered, and Wang Nuonuo lay down in the Virtual Cabin.
