Beep!"
A text message arrived, and when I opened it, it was from Murong Shanshan: "Lin Fan, was that Ghost Dagger sold by you?"
"Yes, it was. Why? You're not going to buy the dagger too, are you? Besides, you're having trouble with your living expenses!"
Murong Shanshan opened her communicator, chuckled, and said, "It's like this: a friend of mine wants to buy your dagger. He hopes you can sell it directly to him. If the bidding continues like this, he's afraid he won't get a chance."
It was very close to the Exchange, so I went to check it out directly. I found that in just four hours, the price had already soared to over 8700 RMB. Looking at the trend, it might not be less than 10000 yuan in another two hours.
"So, Shanshan, you want me to take the dagger off the shelves directly and then trade it to your friend?"
Murong Shanshan smiled: "That's right. He's just a little short of reaching level 16, so he really wants that high-attack dagger with 21-36 attack. He's also a student and only has that much money. Given our relationship, selling it to him in advance shouldn't be a problem, right?"
I smiled faintly: "No problem, no problem, but it depends on how much he can offer."
"Ten thousand, that's already very high, is that okay?" Murong Shanshan's voice lacked confidence, afraid I would raise the price again.
I didn't speak. This time, Murong Shanshan became anxious: "He really can only offer that much, please make an exception!"
"Uh, can't it be a little more?"
Murong Shanshan gritted her teeth: "Then add another meal, how about that? Don't be too greedy ~"
She really seemed unable to pay more money. Anyway, the price wouldn't go up much further, so I might as well do her a favor.
"Shanshan, I'll take the item off the shelves right away. I'll wait here. We can just use Alipay for the transaction."
"Thank you!" Murong Shanshan happily exclaimed, then said: "We'll be right over!"
We'll be right over?
I shook my head, my mind actually wondering what the relationship between Murong Shanshan and this "he" was.
I sent a text message to Xu Lin and Lu Xuehan, telling them I had gotten their items and to come over immediately.
Murong Shanshan and her friend arrived shortly after. He was a clean-cut Thief, dressed in all white equipment, looking quite dismal.
Murong Shanshan immediately introduced: "This is my classmate, haha, named 'Stealer of Heavens.' He's the one who wants to buy your equipment!"
I nodded, paid two gold coins as a penalty, and took the dagger off the shelf. Then I traded directly with this little Thief. The words '10000' were clearly printed on the Alipay transaction. Hehe, private transactions are great; they even save the 2% handling fee.
After the transaction, the Thief, Stealer of Heavens, immediately equipped the dagger. The short, sharp dagger gleamed with a fierce cold light, making him look much more spirited.
"Thank you!" Stealer of Heavens smiled, expressing his gratitude to me.
I waved my hand: "No problem, I'm getting paid!"
Murong Shanshan giggled: "How about this, let's have a meal at Shi Wei Tian next to KFC at noon. Lin Fan, you absolutely must grace us with your presence ~"
I nodded: "Eating is certainly not a problem, but only eating, no drinking. I still need to level up this afternoon."
The Thief grinned and said: "Okay, it's almost 11 o'clock now, let's go over there now, otherwise the restaurant will run out of empty tables ~"
Murong Shanshan also nodded. I saw that it was indeed almost time, so I nodded and said: "Alright, I'll be right over. Shanshan knows me, so she won't have trouble finding me."
"En."
Murong Shanshan and Stealer of Heavens went offline together.
Soon after, Xu Lin and Lu Xuehan also arrived. I immediately traded the Mage's hat and the Priest's skill book to them, then mentioned that there was a dinner engagement at noon. After getting Xu Lin's permission, I went offline... I grabbed a jacket, put it on, wiped my sneakers under the bed a bit, and then wore them out the door.
All the way, I kept thinking about what the relationship between Stealer of Heavens and Murong Shanshan was. Could he be her boyfriend?
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I got. I kept feeling like something of mine had been stolen, but I had only met Murong Shanshan once. This kind of emotion was simply inexplicable.
Shi Wei Tian was not far from where I lived; it took less than 10 minutes to walk there. Murong Shanshan should be a student from XX University next to Shi Wei Tian, so she should arrive earlier than me.
Sure enough, from a distance, I could see Murong Shanshan standing at the entrance of Shi Wei Tian, dressed in a sky-blue woolen casual suit. Beside her was a student wearing glasses, exuding a scholarly air.
Murong Shanshan had seen me early and jogged over, her small face flushed, saying: "Lin Fan, my classmate is paying today, remember to order more dishes! I haven't had an improved meal in so many days!"
I lowered my voice: "Shanshan, what's your relationship with that guy?"
"Boyfriend..." Murong Shanshan said with a mischievous smile.
Although I tried hard to control my expression, a hint of disappointment still showed.
Murong Shanshan's smile grew sweeter. She quickly slipped an envelope into my pocket and said mysteriously: "Help me out, okay? Cooperate a bit later!"
I was confused for a moment and said in surprise: "What is it, Shanshan? Don't pull me, I can walk by myself!"
"Xu Xing, shall we go in?"
Oh, so this guy's name is Xu Xing.
An opponent! A very strong opponent!
Everyone sat down at a four-person table. Xu Xing and I sat on opposite sides, and then both of us eagerly watched to see who Murong Shanshan would sit next to.
The result was quite surprising. Murong Shanshan gave me a look that made me move to Xu Xing's side, then she straightened her clothes and sat alone on the other side.
"Sir, Miss, what would you like to order?"
A waitress with a slender waist and plump hips walked over. Her short uniform was stretched tightly across her ample buttocks, as if it were about to split open.
Murong Shanshan glanced at the waitress, then looked at Xu Xing next to me, and said with a smile: "Let's start with some appetizers. We'll have a bit of all the regional specialties: Kung Pao Chicken, Spicy Tofu, Sweet and Sour Carp, and, well, also the authentic Huaiyang cuisine, Three-Set Duck, and a White Cut Chicken. That's all. Oh, or maybe a whole roasted lamb?"
Murong Shanshan rattled off a list of dishes, and Xu Xing's face turned pale. I couldn't bear it and whispered: "Shanshan, maybe not the whole roasted lamb, we won't be able to finish it."
"It's okay, if we can't finish it, you can take it home..." Murong Shanshan smiled sweetly... I immediately lowered my voice and said: "Damn it, big sis, how much money does he owe you?"
"You just eat!"
