Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

Ling Xi really wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh. After all, the Honkai incident that happened at the institute yesterday was actually kept a secret. Only a small number of people knew about it; most people acted as if nothing had happened. So…

Even if he told Seele the truth, she might not believe him. Besides…

Although it might sound a bit selfish, Ling Xi didn't want her to be exposed to these things too early. Once she was, her worldview would change. The carefree, peaceful life would cease to exist.

"Sigh... this is troublesome."

Ling Xi shook his head with a wry smile, truly unsure how to explain it to Seele.

"Yo, Ling Xi!"

Suddenly, Ling Xi felt a pat on his shoulder. He quickly turned around to look.

"Kevin?"

Seeing who it was, Ling Xi was taken aback. Wasn't this Old Ancestor Kevin?

"Mm."

Seeing that Ling Xi recognized him, Kevin smiled and cheerfully said, "I said I'd treat last time, and I have time today. Wanna go?"

"Sure, I'd be honored!"

Ling Xi naturally couldn't refuse Kevin's invitation. Of course, if Seele had forgiven him just now, he definitely would have refused. But… hadn't Seele not forgiven him yet?

So, it was good to take this opportunity to bond with Old Ancestor Kevin.

"What do you want to eat? Although I've only been in Changkong City for a semester, I basically know all the surrounding restaurants."

Kevin patted his chest, looking confident. "However, the prices here are a bit more expensive compared to my home, but it's within an acceptable range."

"Since classmate Kevin is treating, then whatever classmate Kevin wants to eat is fine. I'm just here to mooch off a meal."

Ling Xi spread his hands, indicating he didn't care what they ate. After all, the other person was paying, so he shouldn't be picky.

"Alright, I'll take you to my favorite place. I guarantee you'll like it..."

Kevin immediately made a decision, his style of doing things was very decisive!

Five minutes later...

"Here, classmate Ling Xi, don't be shy!"

Looking at the two bowls of beef noodles in front of him, Kevin generously pushed one bowl towards Ling Xi, saying with great confidence, "This is the most famous noodle shop in the area. The noodles here are super delicious. Add an egg, and it's simply divine!"

"Uh..."

Ling Xi looked at the noodles in front of him and felt a bit speechless. Although someone was treating him to a meal, he shouldn't be picky. He certainly wouldn't demand any rare delicacies, but…

Slurping noodles? He didn't want noodles for lunch!

"Hmm, I'll try..."

Although Ling Xi didn't particularly like eating noodles for lunch, since Kevin was treating, it would be too impolite if he didn't eat. Moreover… the noodles did smell quite fragrant!

Then, Ling Xi picked up a chopstickful and put it in his mouth, and then…

It really is delicious…

"By the way, who was that girl earlier? Is she your girlfriend?"

While slurping his noodles, Kevin started to inquire curiously. After all, when he wanted to call out to Ling Xi earlier, he had naturally seen Ling Xi with that girl.

"Mmm-hmm... no."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head and denying it. After all, Seele wasn't his girlfriend.

"Heh, no need to hide it. I can tell."

Kevin wagged his index finger and said, "Moreover, I also know that you two must have had a falling out."

Ling Xi: "..."

Ling Xi didn't refute. As long as you're happy.

"Heh, looks like I was right."

Kevin smiled slightly. "After all, these things are very common. A little conflict is completely normal."

"Yeah..."

Ling Xi nodded again. As long as he nodded, it was fine. As for the Honkai incident, it was best not to tell Old Ancestor Kevin for now. After all, when a butterfly flaps its wings, it could cause a storm, even though he had already flapped his wings many times…

"Actually, if you want to make up, I have a good idea."

Perhaps because Kevin had a good impression of Ling Xi when they first met, he decided to help Ling Xi out.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Ling Xi wasn't interested in talking about Seele with Kevin, but when he heard that Kevin actually had a solution, he naturally had to listen.

"It's very simple. Do you know Eden?"

Kevin smiled confidently and then took out his phone to search for Eden. A promotional interface immediately popped up, and the banner text on it read: [Changkong City Eden Solo Concert]!

Chapter 36: Why would the Doctor threaten Klein?

"Eden…"

Hearing the name, a figure quickly flashed through Ling Xi's mind. It was a scene from when he played in the Elysian Realm. Although he had skipped it as usual, he had learned about Eden, one of the Flame-Chasing Moths, from the scattered plot points.

She… could probably be described in three words: gentle, great, and… a singer!

Uh, this isn't referring to the Singer from Three-Body Problem, but rather that Eden is genuinely a singer. Moreover, in the plot of the Elysian Realm, besides Elysia, Eden and Sakura are probably the two gentlest individuals. Of course, Mom Fu definitely loves me the most!

"Look, Eden plans to hold a solo concert in Changkong City on the 16th, which is three days from now. And Eden…"

Kevin said with a look of longing, "She's a world-class singer. Hearing her voice brings a sense of healing. So, Eden is completely a top-tier vocalist who appeals to everyone."

"Is she… that amazing?"

Ling Xi found it a bit exaggerated upon hearing this. However, considering this was the Pre-Collapse Civilization, and Eden would become a Flame-Chasing Moth in the future, perhaps it was really possible.

"Of course! I'm Eden's number one fan!"

Kevin said enthusiastically, "So, if you take your girlfriend to Eden's concert, you might get forgiven. After all… in this era, I believe the vast majority of girls like Eden. Even if they don't like her at first, they'll definitely fall for her after hearing her once."

"Hearing you say that, I really should take her to see it…"

Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully. If a concert could make Seele forgive him, then… this deal would be a huge profit with no loss!

As for the money, concert tickets aren't that expensive, they're just…

Ling Xi searched for the ticket prices, and then…

Three thousand, two thousand, one thousand two hundred, nine hundred, seven hundred, five hundred…

Ling Xi: "…" Uh, they seem a bit expensive, especially the first tier tickets.

But considering Eden is a national… no, a world-class singer, these prices are understandable. Furthermore, Ling Xi noticed a line of text: this was Eden's personal concert, and it was for charity, with all proceeds to be donated.

Alright, these prices aren't that bad.

Ling Xi clicked on the purchase interface and clearly saw two red words: [Sold Out]!

Yes, from the first tier to the sixth tier, all ticket categories were sold out.

"Of course, you can't buy tickets now."

Kevin shook his head and sighed, "Concert tickets go on sale every night at 8 PM until the day before the concert. A portion are released each day. Right now… if you want to grab them, you still have today and tomorrow."

"I don't think… I'll be able to get them."

Ling Xi also shook his head helplessly. He had experienced this kind of thing too many times. With so many people trying to grab just a few tickets, it's impossible to get them without using hacks.

"Yeah, after all, it's Eden's concert; it's always hard to get tickets!"

Kevin nodded helplessly, "So I'm sorry, Ling Xi, this is all I can do to help."

"It's okay, classmate Kevin."

Ling Xi shook his head and smiled, "I'm already very grateful that you told me about this. I'll leave ticket grabbing to fate. It's not like I absolutely have to get them."

"Hehe, I'll help you grab them tonight."

Seeing that Ling Xi didn't seem too bothered, Kevin decided to help him, even though he knew the chances were slim. But… there's always a little hope.

"Okay, thanks then, classmate Kevin!"

Ling Xi didn't refuse this time, although he still didn't hold out much hope.

"Klein…"

In the laboratory, Mobius cornered the trembling Klein against the wall and asked with a smile, "Did I say anything when I was drunk last night?"

"Uh, no, Doctor. Did you say anything?"

Klein quickly shook his head, "You just said some trivial things, and… because you were drunk at the time, I listened carefully."

"Really?"

Mobius was still suspicious. After all, she had forgotten some of what happened last night, but…

Some things she remembered exceptionally clearly, especially…

On the sky bridge!

Damn it, her brain must have been kicked by a donkey at that time. How could she have done such a thing?

And after coming back, she even bragged to Klein that she had someone she liked. Thinking about it now makes her want to die!

However, she didn't seem to have revealed what happened on the sky bridge, right? Probably… not!

"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"

Klein nodded vigorously, "After that, Doctor just said things like you and Ling Xi are the same kind of people, and that you like Ling Xi and want him to stay forever."

"Mmmph…"

Upon hearing Klein's words, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Mobius's face. She snorted, "So, you still heard it, didn't you?"

"Uh… because you were drunk last night, Doctor, so…"

Klein said quietly, "You must have been talking nonsense, right?"

Klein nodded again, and at the same time, he was already quite certain whether the Doctor had been drunk last night. This… she was definitely drunk!

As for whether the Doctor truly liked Ling Xi, Klein felt that if the Doctor, now sober, still claimed to like Ling Xi, then it would absolutely be a lie. The Doctor saying that was just to tease him and Ling Xi.

However, if the Doctor vehemently denied it after sobering up, then it was highly likely to be true. After all…

Drunk people, besides bragging, also speak the truth. And to determine whether Mobius was bragging or telling the truth last night, it was simple: just ask her again after she sobered up.

"Mhm… that's right, it is."

Mobius nodded decisively and said, "I drank more than ten cups of alcohol last night, and I was already extremely drunk. So I must have said a lot of nonsense, the kind of nonsense that can't be believed at all. So… Klein, the drunken words I said last night were all fake, understand?"

"Mhm, mhm, I understand!"

Klein decisively indicated that he understood. Because… the Doctor denied it, then what the Doctor said last night was naturally the truth. So…

The Doctor really liked Ling Xi!

Moreover, the Doctor said last night that she drank two cups, and today it became more than ten cups. The contradiction was so blatant that he didn't even want to comment on it.

"Ahem, Klein."

Mobius looked at Klein with a smile. "About what I said last night, you know what to do, right?"

"What I said last night?"

Klein said with a confused expression, "After the Doctor came back last night, didn't she go straight to her room upstairs to rest? She didn't say anything."

"Heh heh, you know me best, Klein."

Mobius directly hugged Klein and nuzzled him vigorously. She loved assistants like Klein who understood her thoughts!

Klein: "..." That was close, he almost became test subject number one thousand three hundred and sixty-nine…

But… knowing this secret, he seemed to be starting to become unsafe as well.
