Chapter 280 – Master, you really woke me up from a dream After all, Moon Shadow was a major guild, and it had Lin Jichen, the top player in Tale of Immortal. As she spoke, she sneaked a glance at Lin Jichen, her face turning red as she quickly averted her eyes. Seeing Shi Xiyue's envious look, she thought, "This girl is really lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend." "You want to join the Moon Shadow Guild? Of course, you can. Just go to the Moon Shadow Tavern in Fengqu City and say I recommended you," Su Wanling readily agreed. "Mm-hmm! Thank you, Vice President~" Shi Xiyue was overjoyed and was about to leave but then stopped midway. She took out a pet egg from her ring and said to the two, "I got this pet egg from the Free Pet Shop lottery. I've waited for days, but the shop owner hasn't come to buy it back. It's a waste to keep it with me, and it might attract unwanted attention. I'll give it to you." Su Wanling didn't expect the girl to be so generous and laughed, "If the shop owner didn't come to claim it, you should sell it. Right, Lin the Skinflint?" Lin Jichen was speechless. Was this nickname set in stone? Did this woman need a beating? "I'm the owner of that pet shop," Lin Jichen revealed. Shi Xiyue's mouth dropped open in surprise, then she awkwardly smiled, "I'm sorry, I took the best pet egg from your shop. I'll return it." She pushed the pet egg towards Lin Jichen, but he didn't take it. He smiled and said, "Keep it. You won it fair and square with your luck. I'm not like those sore losers from the Eternal Guild. Do whatever you want with the egg."@@@@ "Really? Then can I sell it to you?" Shi Xiyue asked tentatively. Lin Jichen suggested, "A pet at the Golden Core Realm isn't easy to come by. I recommend you raise it yourself. It will be a great help in the early stages of the game." Shi Xiyue sighed, "I've thought about it, but my gaming skills are terrible. My only hope is my innate talent for great luck. I planned to use this talent to open Soul Burial Mounds and lotteries for others. As for cultivation and strength, they don't seem important to me." Lin Jichen knew this was Shi Xiyue's path in her previous life. She never improved her strength, instead making a fortune by opening lotteries and Soul Burial Mounds for others. She earned millions monthly and became a billionaire in real life within a few years, living a glamorous life. But she also accumulated many enemies and offended numerous guilds. When the worlds merged, her money became worthless, and her enemies hunted her down. She ended up dying at the hands of some thugs, a tragic end. After a moment of silence, Lin Jichen said, "If you rely on this in the game, you can do well, but you'll also make many enemies. If you offend a big shot, they might pay to have you killed in real life." "Let's stop here for today. We'll gather at nine tomorrow morning to complete your tasks. Find a safe place to rest. I'll keep watch, so you can relax." Everyone agreed, exhausted from the day's journey. Seeing no suitable place nearby, Lin Jichen used his sword to carve out a cave and led everyone inside to rest. The NPC disciples meditated, while the players logged off. "I'm logging off too. The guild leader wants to discuss something with me. See you later," Su Wanling said to Lin Jichen before logging off. Seeing everyone log off, Lin Jichen didn't stay either. The place was safe, with little chance of danger. He released Panda Xiong to keep watch and temporarily left the game. He kept his ring with him, ready to respond to any situation. Gu Qiuxue had already prepared dinner. Ren Lan had also picked up Niu Naitang from school. The four of them sat at the dining table for dinner. For Ren Lan, this was her last dinner here, as she had to move back to school for classes the next morning. Afraid she wouldn't get to eat Gu Qiuxue's delicious food again, she ate to her heart's content, her small belly visibly bulging by the end. After dinner, they all watched TV together. Knowing Ren Lan was returning to school, Lin Jichen and Niu Naitang didn't play the game but spent as much time with her as possible. "Sister Ren Lan, will you come to see Tang Tang after you go back to school?" Niu Naitang asked, looking at Ren Lan reluctantly. Though they often bickered, Niu Naitang had grown used to Ren Lan's presence. Lin Jichen also felt reluctant. With Ren Lan gone, the house would be much quieter. He wasn't sure he'd get used to it.
