Chapter 192: Overthinking Things
The wind rustled through the grass and the sun shone down warmly. It put everyone in a good mood.
Slash! Some gold coins and other items dropped when they killed the boss. The drop items were pretty good.
Elimination mission completed. Please return to West Flower for your reward.
This message popped in their line of vision immediately afterwards.
The group went around looking for a place to eat after splitting the reward they got grom the guild.
They werent rich but luckily prices werent high in the virtual world. They made a small fortune from the bandit elimination mission and it was more than enough for a good meal.
They found a promising looking restaurant and went inside. The waiter led them to a private room where they ordered several dishes and a few specialties. They chatted while they waited.
Xiao Wu, when did you come to the virtual world? Rain asked.
Three days ago.
Oh, we got here seven days ago, so we got here before you. There are four major cities in this world. Who would have expected wed end up in the same city at the same time. Destiny!
Xiao Wu, arent you curious how we got a seeking stone? Since Feng Wu hadnt asked, Pei Qing brought it up instead.
Task reward, was the simple reply from Feng Wu.
Pei Qing nearly spat his tea out, Wind nearly choked, and Rains jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
They looked at Feng Wu in disbelief. They hadnt said anything about it and she knew already. Haven't seen each other in awhile and she knew what they were thinking. Amazing!
How how did you know? stammered Wind.
Jier said so, was Feng Wus serious reply.
Was Captain Jier so all knowing? Even though they werent together, the captain was still thinking of them! He even knew they were rewarded three stones. To know such a thing the heirs to the seal.. . were indeed amazing![notes]
In reality it was all a beautiful misunderstanding.
Jier had told her about the schools stones when they first talked about them. He said students earned points by completing tasks. They could then exchange their points for better items like higher quality seeking stones.
The royal family and other organizations used the same method to parcel out their stones as well. Not many people sold them, but some were willing to give them away as a reward for specific tasks. Jier had told her all this so she knew people could get seeking stones by completing tasks.
The three guys completely misunderstood Feng Wu's answer. They thought Jier had been keeping on eye on them and that's how he knew they had earned some good B-level stones.
The captain cares so much about us! Hes watching us even from school. Wind wiped his face, his expression unreadable.
Rain was also moved. The captain is so good! Who knew he cared so much about us. We have to go visit him soon!
I thought the captain didnt care.. . turns out I misunderstood him. Pei Qing bowed his head in repentance. He had wronged the captain in his heart.
Feng Wu: What happened?
The four soon forgot about Jier as they chatted and ate.
Xiao Wu, let me tell you, we had awesome luck. Grand Duke Arnold posted a mission at the guild to find his missing son. The reward was three seeking stones. Hundreds of other people took the mission but we were lucky enough to find the criminal who was holding his son. The guy didnt have any skills, so stupid Wind beat him easily.
Haha! That guy was so unlucky. He confessed to the whole thing. Someone paid him a bunch of gold coins to hide the child in his house. But when the person never came back, he thought he'd make even more money by trafficking the boy.
The guy didnt know the kid was the dukes son. He thought it was just an ordinary child because the kid was wearing ordinary clothes. If hed known it was the dukes son, no way would he have dared.
Feng Wu ate and bobbed her head up and down from time to time as they told her how they ended up with three seeking stones.
The four parted ways after their meal. Pei Qing, Wind, and Rain still had things to do so they left the virtual world. Feng Wu stayed and walked around outside the city looking for monsters to fight.
Mob beasts reminded her too much of her animal friends. She was much better at fighting humanoid mobs. Her sword flew out easily against those.
A group of two guys and three girls were watching Feng Wu not too far away. One of the girls exclaimed, That girl is so powerful! She can solo kill so many monsters.
The three girls were all second-year Pharmacy division students at Xingguang Holy academy. They didnt have strong combat abilities so the first thing they did upon entering the world was partner up with some powerful guys.
It was easy to do since they were all beauties from Xingguang.
