Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 128 Buy One Get One Free
It was practically nothing, just barely enough to stave off the hunger.
When she discovered Mengyin was missing at eleven in the morning, how could she possibly eat?
From 11 AM until 6 PM, she had been searching for Mengyin, not even in the mood for water, her mind filled with thoughts of Mengyin being abused.
A whole day had passed, her body was suffering from hunger, and her head was spinning.
After so much hardship, she finally found Mengyin, expecting her to be covered in wounds, but to her surprise…
Mengyin hadn't noticed Xiao Yu yet, a piece of fried chicken in her left hand and a bottle of sugary soda in her right, crumbs of fried chicken clinging to the corner of her mouth, but she didn't care at all.
A whole family bucket of fried chicken, enough for at least two people, was being devoured by Mengyin alone.
Mengyin let out a big, satisfied burp. It was so good.
Xiao Yu watched Mengyin feasting with gusto, then thought about how she had spent the whole day without food or drink, filled with worry because of Mengyin.
Her mouth was dry, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
She suddenly broke down.
She felt so wronged.
Xiao Yu wasn't very old either, only half a year older than Mengyin, and she couldn't hold back any longer.
First, tears started to flow, then she burst into loud sobs.
"Waaah..."
Her emotions were fluctuating wildly, and Xiao Yu couldn't control her ability, revealing her form.
Mengyin was stunned and looked towards the window, exclaiming in surprise, "Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu cried even harder. You still remember me?
Xiao Yu's crying startled Fa Wang first. Fa Wang grabbed Little Red in its mouth to prevent it from running away, then quickly rushed over, pinning Little Red under its paws, and barking loudly.
Poor Little Red was stepped on by Fa Wang and became a background prop, its eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness.
I won't run, can you please not do this to me?
Little Red had tried to escape, but it couldn't fly, and its speed was far inferior to Fa Wang's.
Mengyin said timidly, "She's my friend."
Fa Wang didn't care. Who do I know who you are?
Shu Yun and the others, who were the closest, heard the crying and also rushed over.
Shu Yun saw the addition of Xiao Yu and was shocked. Guards were posted outside, how could another girl have appeared?
To be approached silently, if there were malicious intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Since Mengyin said she was her friend, Shu Yun didn't restrain Xiao Yu, but just watched her.
Chen Luo also heard Xiao Yu's crying, filled with endless grievances. He was eating and found it very strange, so he came over to see what was happening.
Xiao Yu was finally scared and hid nervously behind Mengyin, whose mouth was full of grease.
Chen Luo asked, "How did you get in?"
If she had taken advantage of a lapse in security to sneak in, Chen Luo would have given each of the guards on duty at least ten hard slaps and starved them for three days.
Mengyin answered quickly, "She's my friend, she can turn invisible, she came in invisible."
Chen Luo's eyes lit up. Invisibility?
This was truly a very rare ability, even more impressive than the summoning type at this stage.
Mengyin's friend? Buy one get one free?
No wonder Mengyin seemed hesitant when he gave her the fried chicken, probably wanting to say that she had a companion, but she hadn't decided whether to say it or not.
Chen Luo told everyone to disperse and said with a friendly expression, "I saw Mengyin alone on the side of the road, and it's so dangerous for a young girl to be alone, so I kindly brought her back."
"See, isn't she doing well? There are so many older sisters here, it's good to have someone to keep her company, there's water and electricity, and plenty of food."
Xiao Yu nodded as if she understood, looking at Chen Luo holding the cat. Chen Luo was also very kind and didn't look fierce at all, with a kind and amiable appearance.
Her heart slowly calmed down.
Chen Luo welcomed Xiao Yu into the room.
Mengyin guessed that Xiao Yu hadn't eaten yet, so she pleaded, "Big brother, do you have any more fried chicken? Give Xiao Yu some, please. I'll definitely behave myself in the future."
Chen Luo glanced at Mengyin. Using my things to curry favor?
Wouldn't it be better if I gave it myself?
Chen Luo said sternly, "Mengyin, it's only because you just arrived today that I'm giving you something good to eat. Tomorrow, you'll be treated like a regular member. When you can successfully grow vegetables, I'll directly promote you to elder status."
Desire is the source of power for human progress. If he gave Mengyin big fish and meat every meal, would she still work hard?
She'd probably become a lazy bum.
In the afternoon, Mengyin talked with the others and learned about the ranking system here.
Chen Luo smiled, "Xiao Yu, you just arrived today, if you want to eat, I can give you a portion too. In the future, if you have special achievements, you can continue to receive rewards."
I get it too?
Xiao Yu was stunned.
Watching Mengyin eat fried chicken, some tears were actually flowing from the corner of her mouth.
There are so many chickens here?
It seemed like she had just seen a dog using a chicken as a toy.
Since she wasn't familiar with Chen Luo, Xiao Yu wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words.
An irresistible temptation.
Chen Luo pretended to use the walkie-talkie to ask Ma Yu to make a portion.
Chen Luo asked about Xiao Yu's level. Like Mengyin, they were both level two.
Neither of them had a team, and Xiao Yu had only recently mastered invisibility.
It wasn't that they didn't have good aptitude, it was that they didn't have enough crystals.
Xiao Yu was currently at the peak of level two and could maintain invisibility for six minutes.
Chen Luo was a little surprised. So long?
The amount of supernatural energy consumed by the same skill varied from person to person.
Void Walk, Chen Luo only mastered it at level nine in his previous life. When he first learned it, one Void Walk would consume all of Chen Luo's supernatural energy. The consumption was too great.
After Chen Luo's countless modifications, the consumption was minimal, while the consumption of other skills remained basically unchanged.
Otherwise, how could it be said that Chen Luo's Void Walk was so awesome?
Xiao Yu was very talented in invisibility?
Invisibility had many uses, it could be used for reconnaissance and exploration, such as exploring Zhao Hai's base. If the invisibility time was long enough, wouldn't it be easy to find out how many people there were, the distribution of personnel, and where the supplies were stored?
In addition, it could also be used to find the whereabouts of mutants. If a mutant died and its level wasn't high, you could dig out its crystal.
In many cases, it was more useful than Chen Luo's Void Walk.
Chen Luo thought to himself, this is a good seed, I have to focus on cultivating her. Many dark-type users may not be able to master invisibility even at level ten.
The fried chicken is here.
After returning, Chen Luo put the fried chicken in a large bowl and brought it to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu subconsciously swallowed.
Chen Luo chuckled and left for the time being.
Instead of saying too much, it's better to let Xiao Yu and Mengyin slowly feel how good this place really is.
As soon as Chen Luo left, Xiao Yu said fiercely to Mengyin, "Get away, don't interfere with me eating fried chicken."
Mengyin smiled sheepishly and left. Xiao Yu looked around and began to devour the food, even more unrestrained than Mengyin, and almost choked.
When Chen Luo returned, he saw Xiao Yu holding her small belly, her lips and the corners of her mouth covered in grease.
Chen Luo clicked his tongue. A real buy one get one free.
Chen Luo didn't say much and gave them some level three crystals, so they could advance to level three as soon as possible.
Mengyin and Xiao Yu looked around, thinking that big brother was so nice, giving them food and crystals.
It felt like a dream.
Xiao Yu suddenly burst out, "So, Mengyin, I was worried about you, but you were enjoying yourself here?"
"With such a good place, you didn't even think to call me?"
Mengyin said weakly, "I was just confirming, I was picked up."
"Or, I can turn into a little rabbit and let you pet me?"
