Online Dating? I Have a Loli Voice...
Ever since learning the method for Initiate Sorcerer from Mr. Luo Mang, Xu Nan has been in a dilemma.
There's no other reason than that this path is too arduous, and the foreseeable difficulties and obstacles are enough to instill fear in most people.
After all, the Initiate Sorcerer also possesses the spell of the Condemned Sorcerer.
Although they were favored by the multiverse, being too perfect always attracts envy. Every Initiate Sorcerer in the history of the Pro World was amazing, but none of them had a good ending.
Although Xu Nan has the awareness of "I want it all", she is not ready to become the target of many people's attacks.
However, he still carried that key with him at all times, just in case.
Seeing Xu Nan's affirmative expression, Luo Mang casually opened a portal:
"Walk."
Xu Nan didn't hesitate and followed them inside. The two women didn't go directly to the basement, but instead went to the conference room on the third floor of the library.
Luo Mang turned to the members of the Daily Council and pointed at Xu Nan, asking:
"This kid is my apprentice. You all saw his performance just now. He has a good appetite and has some of my style from back in the day."
The Council Speaker, who claimed to be an "Earth Expert" and a master of flattery, immediately gave a thumbs up:
"82 points. Send the remaining 18 points to this kid via private message in the form of '666', in case he gets arrogant."
Xu Nan was shocked. There were already people in Lost Paradise who had such a deep understanding of China culture?
The crowd around him applauded and praised him. The old man looked pleased with himself.
Just then, a staff member came over carrying a banner.
"Come, come, Xu Nan, please take a look. This is a banner that the Council Speaker gave me."
Luo Mang had only brought Xu Nan here to go through the motions at the Daily Council; it was just a routine matter.
He happened to see the banner, so he chuckled and asked Xu Nan to come and appraise it.
The Council Speaker said with a confident and composed expression, "This is my assessment of Mr. Luo Mang!"
Xu Nan looked closely and saw that the banner had a line of Chinese Language characters written in Microsoft YaHei font!
[Luo Mang's brilliant plan backfired, resulting in the loss of both his wife and his army.]
Xu Nan thought to himself, "This Council Speaker seems to be quite good at flattering, but I didn't expect him to be so upright and fearless of power."
They actually used a banner to directly mock Luo Mang, one of the Three Legends, for being presumptuous?
It's clear he's very dissatisfied with Luo Mang!
"How about it? Actually, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, but it sounds rhythmic and powerful."
The old man asked Xu Nan with a smile.
Xu Nan dutifully translated the words literally. He couldn't stand by and watch Luo Mang be deceived!
In an instant.
The air in the conference room seemed to have been sucked out.
The Council Speaker stared at Xu Nan in disbelief, while Xu Nan looked at him innocently.
"Damn, is that guy I'm Online Dating a fake from Earth?"
The Council Speaker muttered something under his breath, then suddenly came to his senses.
He kept apologizing to the legendary bigwig, while those around him looked on with lingering fear; the secretary-general of the Daily Council calmly tore the China calligraphy couplet that the Council Speaker had proudly given him a few days earlier into two pieces.
Fortunately, the old gentleman was magnanimous, otherwise the Council Speaker would have died on the spot.
"Alright... if you're not good enough, don't try to act cool like me."
While feeding Lina with a bottle, the Lion King concluded, "Don't look at those messy things. Learn from me and spend more time online."
"I felt something was off as soon as I heard that. It's true that reading is always beneficial, and reading more books is the right thing to do."
Xu Nan looked at the Lion King curiously. Although they had never met, they had interacted many times before. He was also very familiar with Lina, after all, they had all grown up drinking the milk from his Harem Group... Ugh! The above is pure nonsense.
The Lion King doesn't have the domineering aura of the legends, where the character flaunts his power to everyone. Perhaps it's because he's been a legend for many years, so he has a high level of sophistication and a restrained, domineering presence.
He looked at Xu Nan very gently:
"Luo Mang's judgment has always been excellent; basically, every disciple he looks at dies..."
The crowd sensed something was off.
He immediately changed his tune. "Of course you can definitely break free from that curse, after all, you are destined to be with my daughter."
"You've taken care of Lina for me twice, and I haven't prepared any gift for you, so I'll just give you a piece of advice as encouragement."
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young person's potential!"
Splash!
As soon as the Lion King opened his mouth, applause naturally erupted.
Xu Nan's smile was awkward.
The Lion King looked at him. "Is there anything wrong with what you said? Isn't it inspiring?"
Xu Nan nodded frantically.
The Lion King smiled with satisfaction and handed the milk bottle and Lina to Xu Nan:
"I'll give you a piece of advice: it would be perfectly reasonable for you to help me take care of my daughter. I'll ask you for Lina back in a while!"
Then he simply slipped away.
They've slipped away.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, only to realize that of the Three Legends, only Luo Mang remained; Almuses and the Lion King were nowhere to be found.
That's actually normal; for an event of this scale, the Three Legends don't need to show up at all.
Those in the Daily Council all understand that the other two legends were just giving Luo Mang face, coming to see if he would accept a disciple Earth needed.
Now that we've seen it all, why are we still standing there?
If this drags on any longer, I'll really have to give them a gift when we meet!
Ron Sorcerer doesn't play games; he's that practical!
"Everyone!"
Luo Mang coughed, drawing everyone's attention back. "Has Xu Nan taken away enough Magic Book?"
The Council Speaker immediately nodded. "That's enough."
"The conditions for entering the underground level are fully met!"
Luo Mang nodded in satisfaction and beckoned to Xu Nan:
"Come with me."
Xu Nan awkwardly carried Lina towards the newly opened portal.
Halfway there, the Council Speaker suddenly grabbed him.
Xu Nan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy was holding a grudge because he had exposed his plot to humiliate Mr. Luo Mang in public and wanted to take revenge?
Who knew the Council Speaker whispered:
"Mr. Xu, could you help me determine if my Online Dating boyfriend is actually from Earth?"
He was holding a phone, which prominently displayed the moon-themed interface that appears when WeChat is launched.
Xu Nan was astonished. This Council Speaker was indeed extraordinary; he even knew how to use a mobile phone.
"If it's WeChat, everyone's probably from Earth. But you should be careful with Online Dating. In my experience, it's hard to figure out who the other person is, or even if they're human."
Xu Nan still offered her well-intentioned advice.
He figured it out now. This Council Speaker looked like a single, old bachelor, the kind of powerful otaku who always kept high-level Inflatable Puppet and a level 999 Mage Hand at home.
He must have accidentally flattered someone who backfired.
The Council Speaker shook his head and said:
"No, I believe she's a girl. I just want to confirm if she's from Earth. She has a very nice voice!"
Xu Nan glanced at the profile picture of the girl who was chatting with the Council Speaker and suddenly felt that she looked familiar.
Since Mr. Luo Mang didn't urge him, he probably tacitly agreed to let Xu Nan help the Council Speaker, and Xu Nan was naturally willing to do a favor.
He casually took the Council Speaker's phone, stared at the girl's profile picture for a while, and suddenly had a jolt.
Isn't that Qi Zijun?!
Because she was Song Cheng's girlfriend and quite pretty, Xu Nan had some impression of her.
He gave the Council Speaker a reassuring look, then opened his phone and discovered that WeChat could indeed be used in Lost Paradise!
Lost Paradise is truly a magical place.
He added the girl on WeChat, and she quickly accepted.
Xu Nan sent a smiley face.
The girl sent a message directly:
[Brother, wanna Online Dating? I have Loli Voice.]
The Council Speaker next to him immediately turned green.
Xu Nan thought for a moment and sent a message:
[Is it the kind of person who cuts their wrists after a breakup?]
The other party: [Sure. Hehe.]
Xu Nan: [But I like Dolphin Voice, do you?]
He checked the system and saw no Activity Points notification. Only then did he realize that he had bankrupted the Fourth Alchemy Center, and it seemed that he could no longer earn points by arguing with people.
So he changed his approach:
Send me a voice message, how am I supposed to know if it's real or fake?
The other party was surprisingly friendly and quickly sent a voice message.
Xu Nan recognized the voice as a girl's, but it sounded increasingly familiar.
Damn it, Song Cheng!
Xu Nan typed subconsciously.
[What the hell! Who are you? Why are you using this account to mess with me? Don't you know my time is precious? I have so many guys to date Online Dating with, so if you're not going to Online Dating, get lost!]
After sending the message, Xu Nan was blocked.
Looking at Qi Zijun's gentle smile, he felt a deep sadness for his daughter-in-law.
How did I end up with such a boyfriend?!
God knows why that bastard Song Cheng would use his girlfriend's picture as a profile picture to have Online Dating with someone else!
Xu Nan pondered for a moment and concluded that it was probably related to the spells he practiced.
So he looked up:
"The case is solved."
"He's an Earthling, but a man."
He had expected the Council Speaker to be furious, but to his surprise Council Speaker let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're an Earthling, it's good that you're an Earthling."
Xu Nan asked in surprise, "A man... it's okay too?"
The Council Speaker smiled and said, "It's alright, thank you for your trouble. Mr. Luo Mang should already be waiting for you on the first basement level. I won't delay any longer!"
Xu Nan stood there for a full twenty seconds, while the Council Speaker maintained his respectable smile.
In the end, Xu Nan was defeated and turned to walk into the portal.
Sure enough, the older Ron Sorcerer got, the more shameless he became. I did him such a big favor, and he didn't even offer a thank you?
Of course, Luo Mang is an exception.
Xu Nan carried Lina on his shoulder and passed through the portal to the next floor.
The area was heavily guarded, but no one had come here for many years, and it was covered in a thick layer of dust.
"This is a magic-free zone. See that skeleton over there? A Cloud Climbing Monk got lost in our Great Library years ago and accidentally wandered into this area to cool off, and that's how he ended up dying."
Luo Mang pointed somewhat sadly to a skull not far away.
Xu Nan sensed a melancholy atmosphere that seemed out of place with the overall feel of Lost Paradise.
"What you're looking for is at the end of the corridor."
"If you've made up your mind, then go and get it yourself."
Luo Mang stood still.
Xu Nan looked at the strange figures on both sides of the corridor and a rare look of seriousness appeared on his face.
...!
