Daily Life and Tong

It has to be said that along with her increased strength, Mu Qiansè's cooking skills have also improved significantly.

Because Bai Zhi had taken Qingyi and the others on a large shopping trip to the supermarket beforehand, the refrigerator was filled with a wide variety of ingredients.

Under Mu Qiansè's culinary skills, the dishes on the table were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate; just looking at them was a pleasure.

However, Bai Zhi didn't focus his attention on the food; instead, he focused most of his attention on Tong, who was sitting next to him.

Unlike Qingyi and Anna, Tong was quite reserved. Having grown up in the darkest corners of society, she was always cautious despite her great curiosity about everything around her.

Entering such a glamorous environment for the first time, wearing beautiful and clean clothes for the first time, eating food that looked delicious for the first time... countless firsts made her so nervous that she didn't even know what to do with her hands, and could only hold the book in her arms tightly.

If it weren't for Lin Xiaoyi and Mu Qiansè, whom she knew somewhat, she probably would have already disappeared somewhere.

--When Xia Wen was helping her take a bath before, she disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Xia Wen found her curled up in the closet, clutching a book, in silence.

Silence, quietness, restraint, shyness...

This is the label on Tong.

"Has your sense of taste and smell still not recovered...? Looks like I'll have to go see that Doctor again."

Bai Zhi frowned slightly as he watched Tong sitting quietly eating white rice.

Tong didn't know how to use Chopsticks at all, so her movements were a little clumsy. She didn't even think about picking up any food, and just sat there quietly eating her rice. Although Lin Xiaoyi and Mu Qiansè would occasionally put food on her plate, she never showed any extra expression on her face.

Living on the other side of the Garbage Mountain for a long time destroyed her taste buds and sense of smell; no matter how delicious the food was, it tasted the same to her.

However, it seems that the Campus Belle and Mu Qiansè are unaware of the reason behind this. Mu Qiansè even thought that the food she made didn't suit their tastes and began to doubt herself...

As for Xia Wen... she was staring longingly at the delicious food in front of her, eating only a plate of vegetables, trying to quench her thirst with mere imagination.

In the struggle for family status, she was utterly defeated by the Campus Belle, truly living up to her title of the younger brother in the family.

Tong didn't eat much for lunch; she only ate one bowl of rice before putting the bowl down.

For her, food was merely a non-essential thing to fill her stomach and keep her from feeling hungry; after all, eating was like chewing wax.

Then, she held the book in her arms with one hand and leaned her head and body against Bai Zhi, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.

As for Lin Xiaoyi and Mu Qiansè... they've died too many times in front of her, so there's really no sense of security about being around them.

--Hitomi's current state of mind is a true reflection of her extreme lack of security.

"Did you get any Extraordinary Material as rewards from the Dungeon? I'm going out this afternoon, and I'd like to see if I can help you craft some Equipment or items while I'm at it."

Turning his head to look at Tong beside him, Bai Zhi reached out and patted her head before asking the others at the table.

"By the way, this Large-scale Campaign Quest is almost over. You'd better not participate in any more Dungeon before then, as the death rate in the remaining Dungeon is too high."

"Extraordinary Material?"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Qiansè spoke with some hesitation.

"I have an Elite Level Extraordinary Material here, but I might not have enough Game Coins..."

With the production of various Extraordinary Material in this Large-scale Campaign Quest, and the extremely limited number of Crafter, the current situation is one of too many monks and too little porridge.

The crafting of elite -Elite Level Extraordinary Material with a single click requires an astonishing 10,000 Game Coins more, and even then, there's no guarantee of a 100% success rate in creating Elite.

There have been over a dozen reports of Player being scammed on online Player Forum.

"The job requirements for Crafter have long been monopolized by Large Organization. In the past, this was because there wasn't much production of Extraordinary Material, and the job requirements for Crafter could be very difficult, which led to a shortage of Crafter. But now it seems that it won't be long before the Large Organization launch this business."

Lin Xiaoyi put down her Chopsticks and shook her head slightly.

"By then, the price should have dropped considerably... Actually, more important than that, my personal suggestion is that someone among us should ideally become a [Crafter]."

"I'll find a way to get the job information for [Crafter], so you don't need to worry."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi waved his hand.

"Just give me the Extraordinary Material from the _picture_book first; we can talk about the Game Coins later. Besides that, you can also help me think of a name for the Player Guild. Once I get back, I'll roughly start working on establishing it..."

"[Beauty and the Beast]!!"

Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, Xia Wen, whose head had been drooping like a wilted eggplant, quickly raised his head.

Bai Zhi had previously discussed the establishment of the Player Guild with her, but the discussion ended without a conclusion due to insufficient participants.

But now that almost everyone has gathered, the discussion has been brought back to the agenda.

Xia Wen had received no fewer than five or six invitations from other Player Organization, and Bai Zhi figured that others were probably in the same boat. He felt that he had to live up to their expectations and Trust.

"The name of the Player Guild...?"

Seemingly unsurprised that Bai Zhi brought this up now, Lin Xiaoyi completely ignored Xia Wen, who had a piece of green vegetable in his mouth and his right hand raised. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked.

"How about... [The Anomaly Research Institute]?"

"This name sounds really creepy, isn't it? It's hardly suitable as a name for the Player Guild."

Before Bai Zhi could even speak, Mu Qiansè was the first to retort.

"In my opinion, [Spring|Water As Blue] would be a better name for the Player Guild. As the saying goes, 'Spring water is as blue as jade, Summer Grass Like Turf as a carpet, autumn leaves are as beautiful as butterflies, and winter snow is as lovely as flowers.' Don't you think it's very poetic? I think any of these four names would be suitable!!"

"Where would it be appropriate? We're dealing with terrifying and bizarre Anomaly; the eerie names really fit the atmosphere!!"

The Campus Belle remained steadfast in her opinion.

"[Beauty and the Beast]!!"

Xia Wen, feeling ignored, slammed his hand on the table in dissatisfaction.

Bai Zhi: "..."

"... Let's be fair, let's vote tonight."

Bai Zhi reached up and pressed his forehead, interrupting their argument.

"I'm going out for a bit now, I won't be back until around five or six in the afternoon, you guys..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhi suddenly felt his arm being slightly tugged.

Slightly puzzled, he turned his head and saw Tong looking up at him.

"Together."

Looking directly into his eyes, Tong spoke earnestly.
