Old Friend Lan Yu

Xia Yuwei saw Lu Yang's concerns and said sincerely, "Friend, we really need the Electric Eel Meat recipe. We hope you can help us. Although Frost Ice Studio isn't big, we'll definitely do our best to help with anything in the future. And we guarantee not to spread this recipe."

A man beside Xia Yuwei was displeased to see Xia Yuwei speaking so politely to Lu Yang. He frowned and said, "Yuwei, why are you being so polite with him? Can't we just give him money to buy it? Kid, how about 1,000 yuan for your secret? That's enough, right?"

Lu Yang recognized this man. His name was Zheng Yuan, Xia Yuwei's classmate, a typical rich second-generation heir. He was arrogant and domineering, but he didn't have much ability. He had a natural sense of superiority in front of ordinary people, and he would use money to impress any girl he liked.

Since meeting Xia Yuwei, he had been pursuing her madly, but his tactics didn't work on Xia Yuwei. Xia Yuwei's family was even richer than his. Later, Lan Yu's appearance made him even more confused. He wanted to pursue both Xia Yuwei and Lan Yu, and Zheng Yuan, unsure of who to pursue, simply pursued both of them, treating them as his private property. He didn't want anyone to contact them. If anyone said a word to them, Zheng Yuan would be upset for a long time. Unfortunately, neither Xia Yuwei nor Lan Yu liked Zheng Yuan. As a result, before Lu Yang was reborn, Zheng Yuan didn't manage to pursue either of them, a complete tragedy.

A tragedy in his past life, and the same in this life.

Although Lu Yang was poor, he had pride. Looking at Zheng Yuan's ugly face, Lu Yang said coldly, "Sorry, I'm not selling."

Zheng Yuan was stunned. After thinking he understood the situation, he said with a mocking expression, "What's wrong? You think the money isn't enough? You want to bargain with me over a basic cooking recipe? Let me tell you, kid, don't be ungrateful. It's just 1,000 yuan. Quickly tell me your bank account number. I don't have time to waste with you."

Lu Yang uttered a single word indifferently, "Scram."

"You motherf**ker..." Zheng Yuan became anxious. He was about to attack Lu Yang but was stopped by the people beside him, who pointed to the Soldier NPC not far away and said, "If you want to die, don't implicate the rest of our team. The Soldier will attack at this distance."

The reason Lu Yang was cooking in this location was because of this. Otherwise, the many people gathered here would have forced him to reveal how to complete the quest.

Lu Yang glanced at the person blocking Zheng Yuan. Lu Yang also knew this person. His name was Zhang Zibo. He was a good person with brains and was the team's main MT. However, his thoughts were unnecessary. Even for Lan Yu's sake, Lu Yang wouldn't screw them over.

Xia Yuwei knew that Zheng Yuan was going to mess things up, so she had Zhang Zibo pull him away and said apologetically, "Friend, my companion didn't mean that. Please don't be angry. We're really sincere about getting this recipe. Please help us."

In the early stages of the game, the function to exchange real-world currency for game currency hadn't been opened yet. Transactions could only be done through external platforms, but it was the first day of the game. Money wasn't as prevalent as the famous saying "money is king" would later become. Xia Yuwei and other rich second-generation heirs had money but nowhere to spend it. Faced with the pitiful copper coins they had and the expensive medicines in the pharmacy, Xia Yuwei had no choice but to plead softly in order not to fall out of the top tier.

Lan Yu also walked to Xia Yuwei's side and said softly, "Sir, we were wrong just now. Please don't mind it."

After all, they had a relationship in his past life, and Lan Yu had personally pleaded, so Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "I can tell you the method, but you have to keep it a secret."

The tense situation just now made Xia Yuwei think that Lu Yang wouldn't tell them the method. She didn't expect Lu Yang to agree so quickly.

Xia Yuwei and Lan Yu exchanged a surprised glance and quickly said together, "Thank you so much."

Lu Yang smiled casually and pointed to Lan Yu, saying, "Little girl, come here. I'll tell you how to do this quest. Everyone else, disperse and don't let anyone nearby get close."

Xia Yuwei quickly led her subordinates to disperse the players who wanted to get close and eavesdrop, while Lan Yu walked shyly to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang quietly told Lan Yu the location to obtain the Electric Eel Meat. Just as Lan Yu was about to say thank you, Lu Yang suddenly lowered his head and whispered to Lan Yu, "Coordinates 7985.9867. There's an old man there. Complete the task he gives you, and he'll send you into a Rocky Cave. The Rocky Cave is full of level 1 and 2 monsters, perfect for your team."

This was discovered by a player in his previous life on the fifth day after the game started. Because the location was too remote and the old man's task was very tedious, requiring a team of players to cooperate to complete, many people didn't do it.

When the strategy guides of later generations came out, people realized that this was a good place to level up. However, this place wasn't suitable for Lu Yang because the cave was very empty and there were many monsters. Without BUG spots and without the skills and equipment to keep up, Lu Yang would only die if he went in.

Lan Yu looked at Lu Yang in surprise and said, "Really?"

Lu Yang said with a smile, "Why would I lie to you? Bring enough ten thousand Electric Eel Meat. It's enough for you to fight there for a night."

Lan Yu nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Thank you."

Currently, most players can only rely on stealing monsters to level up. If they had a leveling spot where no one would steal monsters from them, it would be even happier than being able to exchange cash for game currency for Lan Yu and the others.

Lu Yang said playfully, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you? What if you encounter level 5 monsters when you go in?"

Lan Yu said, "Your eyes are so pure. You look like a good person. I know you wouldn't lie to me."

Lu Yang smiled. This girl was still so clever.

"Alright, I'm leaving." He had wasted more than two hours. Lu Yang was going to level up. There would be plenty of opportunities to chat later, but he couldn't delay leveling up in the new server.

Seeing that Lu Yang was about to leave, Lan Yu sent a friend request and said, "Let's add each other as friends."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Of course."

System prompt: You have accepted Lan Yu's friend request. You are now friends.

Lu Yang waved at Lan Yu and returned to the town.

Lan Yu looked in the direction where Lu Yang disappeared, feeling a little lost. She didn't know why, but Lu Yang gave her a very familiar feeling, as if he was an old friend she had known for many years.

Xia Yuwei walked to Lan Yu's side and teased, "The person is long gone, and you're still looking."

Lan Yu's face turned red, and she said shyly, "That person is so mysterious. He seems very powerful."
