Who Wouldn't Be Scared?

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoming quickly stepped aside and turned to look at the source of the sound, while Xing also craned her neck to investigate.

It's not surprising that she acted this way; Bai Luoming was quite tall, and his presence in front of her obstructed her view.

The newcomer was naturally Welt. He looked at the two people standing in the corridor with some curiosity. Seeing Bai Luoming, who was up early, he was somewhat surprised and asked, "Luo Ming, you're up so early today. That's rare."

"..."

Bai Luoming was somewhat reluctant to engage in conversation; the two had clearly reached a consensus that he liked to sleep in late.

But is that what he wants? There's always a reason for every day. It's either the Evernight or the March 7th...

Besides, they didn't care that I slept in on March 7th either.

Seeing Bai Luoming fall silent, Welt smiled slightly behind his mirror. Unlike Xing, he didn't keep pressing the matter, but instead inquired about March 7th's whereabouts.

"Speaking of which, where's Little March? Still not up? Come to think of it, since we arrived in Luofu, Little March and Luo Ming, you two are always so late to get up."

Upon hearing Welt's words, Bai Luoming's expression froze, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. At this moment, he had no time to think about their teasing.

His mind raced, trying to find an excuse for March 7th's condition.

Before Bai Luoming could speak, Xing interrupted him, saying to Welt, "March 7th should still be sleeping, right? By the way, do we have any other plans for today?"

Upon hearing this, Welt glanced at Bai Luoming. He felt that something was off about the two of them these past few days, especially since March 7th was usually quite diligent when Trailblaze. However, he didn't think much of it, assuming that she was just not in a good state lately, and began to answer Xing's question.

"It's nothing, just asking. If March 7th isn't up yet, no need to wake her. After all, there's nothing much to do today."

Hearing Welt's words, Bai Luoming breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what happened, the result was at least good.

Seeing that no one spoke, Welt continued, "You're all free to do as you please today. Go explore Luofu to your heart's content, just remember to check your terminals often and don't forget to reply to messages."

After saying that, Welt looked at Bai Luoming and said seriously, "Especially you, Luo Ming, remember to reply to messages often when you're out there, or we'll worry."

After Welt finished speaking, Xing interrupted, chiming in, "Exactly! Do you know how worried we were about you slacking off yesterday?"

Bai Luoming, under Welt's gaze, nodded and said to Welt, "I understand, Uncle Yang. I will definitely remember."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked Welt, "Speaking of news, have you responded to the message Dan Heng sent yesterday?"

Bai Luoming's question caused both Xing and Welt to freeze in surprise, clearly indicating that they had also remembered this matter.

Xing stammered, "Didn't you reply? I thought you all replied so I didn't."

After a moment of silence, Welt excused himself, saying, "I went to bed early the day before yesterday, and I didn't see the message until morning..."

"Don't say anything, Uncle Yang, I understand. I saw the message in the morning too, and I thought you would reply."

Bai Luoming tried to comfort Welt, saying that he hadn't returned yesterday either, and as for Little March...

As he spoke, he glanced discreetly at his room before quickly looking away, thinking to himself that he had been quite tired these March 7th two days and that replying to messages would probably be difficult.

As for why I'm tired, that's none of your business.

Hearing everyone making excuses, everyone's mood inexplicably improved.

That's how many things are. If only one person makes a mistake, that person feels like the sky is falling. But if everyone does the same thing, they feel psychologically comforted and then become at peace with themselves.

After a brief silence, Welt cleared his throat and spoke first, "In that case, I'll get back to Dan Heng later, so as not to keep him waiting."

"Yay, Uncle Yang is so great!"

Xing cheered upon hearing this. After all, they had left Dan Heng hanging all day, and now anyone who replied would be under a lot of pressure.

Even though Dan Heng has a good temper and won't hold it against her, it will still be a little awkward.

Bai Luoming also had a smile on his face; clearly, Welt's initiative to reply was good news for him as well.

"Alright, that's enough about this. You can do whatever you want today."

Welt didn't want to discuss the matter further, so he left after saying that to them.

After Welt left, Xing quietly approached Bai Luoming and said, "Hey Old Bai, do you have any plans for today? Should we...?"

She now acts like they're on good terms, clearly having forgotten her previous aggressive demeanor.

Bai Luoming didn't need to look closely to know what she was up to: go to some places, ignore some people, rummage through some trash, and obtain some "treasures."

This time, he didn't hesitate at all and directly rejected Xing's request.

"No, I took on a master yesterday, and I should practice swordsmanship today."

"Huh? Why would you need to find a master for no reason?"

Xing was very puzzled by Bai Luoming's actions. In her opinion, Bai Luoming's stats were already top-notch, so why did he still need to find a master to practice swordsmanship?

Upon hearing Xing's words, Bai Luoming deliberately adopted a profound demeanor and said to Xing, "Xing, the power of numbers has its limits. In this short time, I've discovered something: the more people rely on numbers, the easier it is for them to abandon their brains and fall into unexpected predicaments."

What do you mean? What are you talking about?

"What I mean is, I don't want to do... cough cough, I mean I don't just want the numbers, I want unparalleled skill."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean you want to have the highest skill ceiling and still have top-notch gameplay? There's no such thing as a player who can do that!"

"You're just scared."

Who isn't afraid of that?

Xing listened to Bai Luoming's words with a solemn expression. This guy didn't reply to messages yesterday, so he was making a fortune in silence? How infuriating!

Even with Bai Luoming's fierce competition, Xing remained calm. After all, Bai Luoming was ultimately just Nameless, her brother. Didn't his strength mean she would become stronger too?

Thinking this, Xing composed herself, put on a smile, and said, "I really underestimated you. In that case, having you with me is truly a waste of your talent."

"Hehe, good to know."

Having said that, Bai Luoming stopped thinking about it and walked towards the door. After all, he had already been delayed long enough, and if he stayed any longer, Jingliu's Mara-Struck would flare up again.

As for not going?

Are you kidding me? Where is this? This is Luofu! How dare you stand up a local tyrant? How many heads do you have?
