Fortuitous Encounter
Astonished, Carn widened her eyes as she gazed at Xu Feng. "You aren't going to back down?" She asked in surprise. "The party I was with earlier dismissed
quite harshly, so I was sure no other sane players would assist ." "Ahem, are you implying I'm insane?" Xu Feng faked a cough.
"T-That's not what I an." Carn quickly raised her hands, shaking left and right to deny that was her aning.
"I'm just teasing you," he chuckled after seeing her flustered look. "Also, don't lump
in with those previous party mbers of yours. Only those with no skills would dismiss you." Unsure of what to say, Carn kept quiet. After all, even she doubted she could complete the mission, much less soone she just t. However, she didn't want to be rude, considering how Xu Feng was trying his best to help her.
'This lass really thinks I'm boasting huh…' Speechless, Xu Feng realized she was indeed not a simple woman. On the surface, she looked timid and fragile, easy to target. But looking more in-depth, she was actually quite thoughtful and filled with insight. Four tis, she managed to stump him a total of four tis, and that was not an easy thing to do. That was especially true when she used his own advice against him when he was inquiring about her earlier. Soti later, the food arrived and Xu Feng decided to pause the conversation temporarily. "Let's eat first before we head down to the registrar." He suggested and began eating without waiting for her response. To make a person feel appreciative of you imnsely, it was best to not talk too much. Instead, one should use actions to showcase your prowess. By then, the effect and admiration would increase trendously. 'You ain't escaping from my clutches, future expert.' He thought to himself, enjoying the food to his content. He was too happy at the mont to even bother about the taste of the food, not that it was disgusting anyway.
"Is this really a ga's food?" Carn was startled, her eyes staring intensely at the food on her plate. "How can it be so tasty? It's even better than those high-class restaurants." "I'm glad you're enjoying the food." Xu Feng lightly smiled. It was so hard to believe that such a woman would turn out to be the fearso demoness in the near future that struck fear in every guild, team, and player. Though he can't comnt much on her transformation, given he was the sa as well.
He changed so much to the point where he would only do things with value in return. Charity and generosity? Those two words are not in his dictionary— no longer. The cost of doing that was too high and not worth the effort spent on it.
'Survival of the strongest, they say. This statent stands true no matter where.' Xu Feng smiled, taking one last bite of his food and patiently waited for Carn to be done.
Soti later, Carn finally reluctantly finished her last bite of her food, feeling regretful at her speed. "We can have so more once I help you finish killing the Ironhide Behemoth." Xu Feng suddenly said.
"Really?" Her eyes quickly sparkled like glitter as she leaned close to him, her face very near his. "Yes," Xu Feng replied sowhat awkwardly, leaning backward a bit to avoid being too close to her face. Other n might erupt to cheer for such a developnt, but not for him. He had too many things to focus on. Not to ntion, his ntality was different from his current age in this tiline. He was not so buffoon that could only think with their lower part and nothing else. anwhile, Carn remained oblivious to her actions and subsequently retracted back to her seat. "By the way, what is your current level?" Xu Feng promptly asked, needing to know her level and skill usage. Though, if he had to make a deduction, she should be either level 2 or 3. "Oh, my level?" Carn tilted her head slightly before opening her status screen to check it, clearly forgetting her level.
'Heh, what an amateur.' Xu Feng thought, finding her behavior to be quite hilarious compared to her future persona. "I'm level 6," Carn suddenly revealed.
Clank!
Upon hearing that, Xu Feng nearly fell down from his chair, mainly from shock and disbelief.
"L-Level 6?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow. "You're level 6?" He said once again, trying to confirm his hearing was incorrect. Alas, Carn nodded her head and shared her status screen with him, allowing him to see her attributes. Naturally, this was another noob mistake, given a player status screen was equivalent to a person's ID card or credit card information. Nevertheless, Xu Feng had no ti to question as his eyes locked on her level which had the number 6 next to it.
'She's really level 6?' He was baffled and wondered what was going on. How was that possible?
She was clearly a beginner, given her equipnt and her wealth of the asly 10 copper coins. Hell, he wondered if she could even grind that many monsters in such a short amount of ti to reach that level. Even Gentle Wind needed to spend a lot of ti to et his so-called level requirent previously when they were raiding the Scorched Caverns. "Are you not a beginner who just created your character?" Xu Feng asked in a baffled tone. "I'm a beginner." Carn nodded and explained, "I got to level 6 because Librarian Griselda gave
a potion to drink for helping on her behalf to gather the rare ingredient." "A potion?"
"Mhm, the potion made
rise to level 6 instantly from level 2." She said in the most natural tone.
'She's the main character. She is definitely a main character to receive such a fortuitous encounter.' Xu Feng thought, feeling envious and jealous of Carn's opportunity.
