The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle Chapter 83 83: This is Su Buxian
The second day was clear with temperatures of 23 degrees, appropriate for making wishes while traveling.
Su Qi never made wishes... of course, that's a different story when it cos to drawing lots; his principles could sway based on his mood.
So, he chose to venture out of the mountains.
—to stroll around the neighborhood park.
Although the na of The Hustlers Sect hierarch hadn't spread in "Abyssal Paradise" yet, Su Qi was sowhat famous around the neighborhood, local community, and adjacent resident committees.
"Little Su, co here, keep this old man company for a ga of chess." The old man sat beside the chessboard, waved at Su Qi, and rolled up his sleeves, ready to battle it out for three hundred rounds.
Su Qi glanced at the chess table: "There's no stakes, I won't play."
The old man beca fierce: "You brat, you want stakes? How arrogant!"
Narrowing his eyes, the old man said mysteriously: "Then I... have a treasure here, over thirty years old..."
Su Qi stepped back cautiously: "Are you trying to sell your daughter who's over thirty and still unmarried?"
"You actually guessed it," the old man said, startled but calm. "There's a saying, 'an older woman is a treasure trove'; think about it, that's a lot of gold bricks."
Just be a decent person, old man.
In the end,
Su Qi still played chess with the old man, and of course, the stake was half a soy sauce duck bought by the old man.
"Speaking of which, kid, you... haven't been going out much lately."
"Been busy…"
Just finished a reality show yesterday.
While playing, the old man said earnestly: "You must not get hooked on any gas. Recently, I've heard of many young people getting addicted to this paradise, quitting their jobs, selling their hos, rambling on about logging on to raid every day. Ah, gas really can ruin people!"
That is actually happening.
In short, if you don't have enough power in the ga, you could pour money into it, but that carries risks because if you can't get into Paradise, then all that investnt goes down the drain.
At that point, it's one seat for the rooftop VIPs.
Oh, no.
Rooftop VIPs full house.
Su Qi reassured with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, I never play gas."
Sotis, it's better to lie than to argue…
At that mont,
Su Qi's phone rang, a voice ssage from Night Guard.
His tone was urgent and serious:
"Brother Su!"
"Rember to log on at 7 tonight, I need to discuss sothing important before the raid!"
Upon hearing "log on" and "raid", the old man stiffened slightly, peering intently at Su Qi as if waiting for an explanation.
"..."
Unflustered, Su Qi reached out and picked up a chess piece:
"General!"
"Wait, that move doesn't count, I want to take it back."
"?"
Fine, take back whenever you want.
Half an hour later,
Su Qi, carrying his soy sauce duck, strolled back ho.
The ssage from Night Guard was naturally about the Resurrection Tool ntioned by Xu Linqiu earlier; a precious item seed about to erge, and many rookies were expected to compete for it.
Moreover, the instance was nad 'Linyuan Land'. Although it wasn't an instance their current level could handle, Su Qi had heard this term many tis already.
In the previous show "Love, Death, Super Gars", a gambler claid he ca from Linyuan Land.
After eating the soy sauce duck, all Su Qi could say was it was smooth.
Freeloaded stuff has its own flavor.
At that mont,
Su Qi's phone in his pocket vibrated:
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
His phone was on do not disturb mode, partly to prevent interruptions by ringtones while gaming, and secondly... the vibration was noticeable enough for him.
Opening the phone to see the ID [Yan Nanque], the ssage sent was:
"..."
A series of ellipses often marks the start of a lot of hidden frustrations.
Su Qi responded with a "?", as a reply.
"I'm on a business trip today."
"SO?"
"On a business trip accompanying the leader to et a client," Yan Nanque blurted out.
"What happened, did the talks collapse?"
"Cough cough, not really..." Yan Nanque said, "This client is like a second-generation rich kid, our real target is actually this client's father."
Su Qi curiously said, "That sounds a bit complicated, seems slightly troubleso."
"Quite troubleso..." Yan Nanque expressed helplessly, "It's all about preparing gifts and making house calls, the other party has a high status, and I feel like the gifts we presented... didn't catch his interest."
"The attitude was very aloof and cold, overall not very agreeable, but the guy is a big shot's son, so when you need a favor... there's no other way."
Su Qi pondered and said, "You should give him a couple of punches, then he probably wouldn't be so indifferent."
"??"
Now it was Yan Nanque's turn to be confused, he complained, "If I really hit him, I might end up dead... and trigger a series of disastrous consequences. Then, you'd have to collect my body."
"Feels like you're really in Myanmar," Su Qi seriously suspected Yan Nanque had ventured into illegal arms dealing.
"Just kidding."
Yan Nanque paused, "I'm logging off first, I've been too busy these days. When I find so ti, I'll treat you to a al."
He logged off very quickly.
Su Qi muttered to himself, "Anyone who says they'll treat you to a al another day is just leading you on, plus he'll probably forget about it."
No worries.
Your Brother Su will always rember.
Su Qi looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, and it was nearly 7 PM.
He drew the curtains.
Then he lay down in the gaming capsule.
[Neural connection in progress]
[Connection successful]
[Welco player Su Buxian, ID number 985211, logging into personal space]
Su Qi snapped out of his brief trance and arrived at his personal login space.
He walked straight to the loot box, as he had not used yesterday's draw chance yet.
As the loot box shook continuously,
eventually, with a bang, the box burst open revealing a piece of equipnt, and it was a weapon.
Su Qi's eyes brightened.
The Hundred Man Slaughter Blade didn't hold much improvent for him anymore, and he was looking for a chance to switch weapons.
Here it was.
[Na: Thunderclap Bone Shattering Hamr]
[Type: Equipnt]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Function: This powerful hamr has a significant attack strength, with a 20% chance of causing a Thunder Strike Effect on each hit]
[Equipnt Condition: Strength must reach 40]
[Note: The forging master Orn, who is constantly imitating and making counterfeit equipnt, seems to have been targeted recently and is on the run with funds. Though all his equipnt is counterfeit, it surprisingly has quite good quality]
"It's quite heavy."
Su Qi gripped it. The silver-white rectangular hamrhead reflected light slightly, clearly not sothing just anyone could wield.
Luckily, he had allocated the 17 attribute points he gained from leveling up yesterday mostly to strength, especially since he also had a shoulder guard that could add 500 points of Physical Strength and several Physical Strength Recovery Potions.
He glanced at the daily shop again, either nothing good had appeared, or rchants were asking astronomical prices—so he closed the interface.
At that mont,
Ye Shou sent him an invitation.
[Would you like to enter Linjiang Club Hall Number Two?]
After Su Qi confird, he pushed the door open.
In the hall, apart from Ye Shou and Xu Linqiu... there were five other people.
The mont he appeared,
all five turned their gazes towards Su Qi, each with a different expression.
Evaluating, surprised, dumbfounded, confused, and flabbergasted!
"..."
And Ye Shou silently watched as Su Qi walked in carrying a box of beer in his left hand and a bag of snacks in his right, "Brother Su, what are you doing?"
"I just felt like we might be here a while, so I thought it prudent to prepare sothing to pass the ti."
I am about to discuss sothing important you idiot!
Xu Linqiu, pressing his temple, looked towards everyone and slightly paused,
"Everyone, this is Su Buxian, and he is your final team mber."
