"Li Xiang, co over here for a mont."
When Hou Min saw them return, she imdiately called Li Xiang, as the person who lost the phone was still waiting.
"On my way."
Li Xiang responded, put his phone back in his pocket, and jogged over.
As he got closer, he saw the girl from the hotpot restaurant, the one in the white down jacket eating skewers.
At this mont, she still had her sunglasses on.
Honestly, it seed a bit pretentious.
That was Li Xiang’s first impression of her.
A normal person wouldn’t wear sunglasses all day!
But she was the phone’s owner, so he handed over the phone retrieved from the thief: "Got your phone back for you."
"Thank you so much."
Lin Feifei relaxed imdiately upon seeing her phone: "Let treat you to a al. You’ve gone out of your way to help get my phone back and didn’t even have dinner properly."
"No need to be so polite. Our duty is to protect the people’s lives and property. Check your phone; it looks like soone just called you."
After completing the task, the system rewarded Li Xiang with 600 diamonds, raising his balance to over 1000 diamonds and unlocking the dungeon feature.
Now the most important thing wasn’t eating but finishing the report first and then heading ho to play the dungeon.
As for the lady’s offer for a al!
I guess not, with those sunglasses on, love’s not on.
Why bother!
Lin Feifei unlocked her phone and indeed saw two missed calls, both from her assistant, indicating sothing urgent. She glanced at Li Xiang’s back and decided to make a call first.
"Xiao Ai, my phone was just stolen, but luckily soone helped get it back. Don’t worry; I’ll tell you everything when I return. I’m on my way."
"Hey, Ms. Lin, please sign a few docunts now that you’ve got your phone back; I need to complete the procedure."
"How long will it take approximately?"
Lin Feifei glanced at the ti, feeling a bit dry-mouthed. Her assistant had just called, and the organizer was waiting for her.
"I’ll prepare the materials; it should take about half an hour if we hurry."
"Half an hour? Then I’ll co back to sign tomorrow; I really have urgent matters today."
"Alright then, make sure you co over by tomorrow morning."
-----------------
Li Xiang returned to the office and wrote a report on the incident of catching the thief. The whole process wasn’t very complicated, and he wrapped it up in a 500-word mini-essay.
He’s not a liberal arts student; he doesn’t have that kind of eloquent writing skill, so he just wrote a straightforward account.
"Li Xiang, you’re pretty fit, huh? That pickpocket said you chased him for three blocks and eventually wore him out. Nice!"
Sun Zhidong returned to the office and praised Li Xiang upon seeing him. He, too, is an auxiliary officer and knows well how rare it is for them to have opportunities to stand out.
"It was his bad luck; I was just semi-full, chasing after him. If I’d been hungry or too full, I might not have caught him."
If it weren’t for those attribute points, whether he could have caught up would have been unknown.
"Haha, true. Let’s go after work. I’m visiting my girlfriend’s house today, and I can give you a ride."
"That sounds good!"
Sun Zhidong is from a family that made money from urban renewal and drives a BMW 3 Series. Since visiting his girlfriend involves passing by where Li Xiang rents a room, Li Xiang often hitchhikes with him.
"What have you been busy with these past few days? I haven’t seen much of you at the station."
In the car, Li Xiang asked with concern because these past few mornings, Sun Zhidong basically just showed up for a brief mont and then vanished, busy with sothing else.
"Ah, won are troubleso. There’s a female singer having a concert at the stadium in a few days. My girlfriend is a fan and asked to get two tickets. She could have told earlier, but only ntioned it two days ago. I checked, and the tickets were already sold out! I’ve called in every favor these days, yet haven’t gotten any!"
Sun Zhidong was a bit speechless. He couldn’t understand why it was so difficult to get concert tickets: "What’s that singer’s na again? She’s not that famous, so how co there are no tickets left? By the way, Li Xiang, do you know what the singer’s na is?"
"If you hadn’t ntioned the concert, I wouldn’t have known about it. I’m totally out of the loop on these things."
Li Xiang’s entertainnt activities are limited to gaming, occasionally watching shows, and listening to songs. But as for the nas of stars and singers in the shows, he can’t really tell them apart.
Sun Zhidong: "Ah, being single is better!"
Li Xiang pursed his lips: Who’s he throwing shade at!
He doesn’t have his own house in Jinghai City; he rents an old-style house in a village within the city, and the 500 yuan rent per month is quite a burden for him. Luckily, Hongqiao Police Station cos with a perk of free lunch and dinner, saving him a lot.
With such conditions, how could he find a girlfriend?
His family had introduced him to so nice girls for matchmaking, but after hearing about his conditions, they didn’t want to add to his burden and decided they would seek other prospects instead.
Soon after, Li Xiang arrived ho.
By this ti, he was eager to take out his phone, click on the ga icon, and enter the virtual space.
In an instant, Li Xiang’s surroundings seed to lt away like ice and snow, turning into nothingness.
Transforming into a virtual cube world seemingly made up of a network grid, extending infinitely with no end in sight, no light source but glowing with an eerie luminescence.
[Ding, player Li Xiang, welco to the Police Simulator’s virtual space.]
He had entered this scene before, but each ti, he was left in awe.
"Unlock the first dungeon."
[Ding, the first dungeon ’Rogue’s World’ is now unlocked.]
[Dungeon Description: The Longhai Railway stretches 1800 kiloters, an important east-west corridor. A gang of thieves has long been plaguing the railway, stealing from travelers, much to the railway police’s disdain. Players will simulate anti-theft officers to eradicate the thief threat.]
[Start dungeon? Yes/No]
Already very curious about the dungeon, Li Xiang didn’t hesitate: "Yes."
The virtual space around him was again covered by so tangible objects, even the clothes on Li Xiang transford into a jacket. About two seconds later, the surrounding environnt had completely changed.
From a virtual environnt, it turned into a train car, with Li Xiang himself standing awkwardly at the junction between two carriages. The next second, ti resud, and the previously frozen people and objects began to move, and the scenery outside the window retreated rapidly.
"Seeds, peanuts, drinks, anyone want so? Passengers in front, please make way."
A sweet voice from a train attendant ca from behind, and Li Xiang instinctively stepped aside to let the trolley pass, everything feeling so real.
Next, Li Xiang checked the ga’s taskbar, and imdiately, a semi-transparent taskbar appeared in his retina:
[Dungeon: Rogue’s World]
[Main Task: An anti-theft officer must have a sharp eye, able to accurately identify pickpocket suspects among the bustling crowd and catch them all before the train arrives at the station.]
[Task rewards will be calculated based on task completion, failing if below 60%.]
[Note: The dungeon can only be opened for free once per day.]
