The Boiling Forum / Minor Street Matters on the Food Street

Hmm, she has a bit of that Kamisato family's young lady vibe...

When Ling Mengxue arrived on the first floor, she saw Blood Doll just see a customer off. He was carrying a bag of coins in his hand, working very diligently and meticulously – a truly excellent employee.

The Blood Doll turned around and saw its master. Its eyes lit up immediately, as if it had found its pillar of support. It ran up to Ling Mengxue, held up the money bag it was holding in its hands, and said boastfully, "Master, look, I haven't been slacking off these past few days! I've earned over ten thousand yuan!"

Looking at the little girl's innocent appearance, Ling Mengxue smiled with relief, reached out and patted her head, smoothing her slightly curly hair. "Keep it up~ But... first, wipe the cream off your mouth..."

Blood Doll:(^~^;)ゞ

For some reason, looking at her fair and delicate face, Ling Mengxue always gave people a very strange feeling.

She explained the upcoming arrangements to the Blood Doll, and decided not to stay in the Ping'an District any longer. She would rest there for the night and leave tomorrow.

Go back to school?

No, no, no. With her current knowledge, getting into a top national university shouldn't be a problem. Staying in the classroom would be a waste of time; it's really unnecessary.

Feeling lonely, the Blood Doll tilted her head slightly, looking at her with a face full of grievance, and tugged at her skirt. Only after Ling Mengxue promised to come back to see her did the little girl feel at ease and become lively and excited again.

Draw a teleportation anchor point in the room... Pshaw! A fixed-point teleportation magic circle, and a round trip takes less than a minute, which is quite convenient.

"Master, have you had lunch? Should I make you something to eat?" The Blood Doll blinked and stared at her, asking softly.

Ling Mengxue didn't think much of it and nodded, letting the Blood Doll go play by itself.

She then took out her phone, opened the Qunar app, and planned to book a flight.

"Xi Yan and the others are still in school, right? I'll sneak over and surprise her, is that alright?"

Thinking about the issue of meeting the parents that they had discussed before, she felt a little uneasy.

But...

A girl brought another girl home to meet her parents?

[img=700,494]http://Chapter 133 The Boiling Forum

Will Xi Yan say that she's just her friend?

Knowing her girlfriend as she does, Ling Mengxue probably confessed their relationship on the spot, but she doesn't know how to proceed or whether the girlfriend would mind...

Xi Yan's family seems to be quite wealthy, so what kind of gift would be appropriate to bring?

A jumble of random questions flooded her mind, leaving Ling Mengxue feeling numb.

Is it really that brain-teasing?

While browsing her phone, she also discovered several missed calls and messages.

That's true. In places like that before, it would be a miracle if you could even see something. They wouldn't even give you a caller ID. It's only now that the notification has appeared.

There were stories about Ye Yiren, Zhao Lei, Shu Momo; they all seemed to be trivial matters.

However, Ling Mengxue was taken aback when she saw Ye Yiren's message.

It seems they only separated not long ago. Didn't this girl say she was going to that 'Star Engraving Alliance'?

It was approved so quickly?

The letter was an invitation for her to join the celebration, but it was only on the condition that she had free time, and there was no insistence.

As for the following text messages, they were basically just "greetings" because I hadn't replied to her messages.

"A message from two days ago? The entry requirements for this United Alliance are so low? They're accepting just anyone?" Ling Mengxue couldn't believe it. Her slender fingers swiped across the screen as she muttered to herself, "That's strange. I need to look at it again..."

Ye Yiren: Are you being polite?

After thinking about it, since the earliest flight she booked was the day after tomorrow, there was no rush, so Ling Mengxue sent her a text message.

The text message was very brief, containing only the time, place, and people involved.

At the same time, she opened the backpack interface of the Destiny Space and began to search slowly.

She quickly found a pack of clear stickers.

[Voice-Changing Sticker]

[Quality: Practical, disposable item]

[Introduction: Do you long to have a charming and lovely voice?]

"Why does this smell so strongly of an advertisement?"

Ling Mengxue forced a smile, her feelings were complicated, and she didn't know how to describe them.

That's... pretty awesome...

However, judging from this description, she should be able to use it.

Although many of the items in the Fate Mall are quite strange, their quality is undeniable. Last time, she almost turned into a girl because of the 'Voice-Changing Pill,' which was incredibly tragic.

Not long after, the phone rang; it was Ye Yiren calling.

Ling Mengxue thought for a moment, then casually tore open a pack of stickers and tried sticking them in the positions described in the introduction.

The box contains ten tablets, enough for ten consecutive days of use. I can't believe I never noticed that before...

There were so many things in this online store that she couldn't possibly browse them all, and she hadn't paid attention to them all; she probably missed some.

It felt cool to the touch and melted away instantly without any extra sensation. Ling Mengxue felt as if she had just eaten a mint. After a moment's hesitation, she decisively answered the phone.

Soon, a slightly reproachful voice came from the other side.

"Brother Feng, where are you? Where have you been these past few days? You haven't answered my calls or replied to my texts. Are you looking down on me?"

Ling Mengxue was taken aback. She could naturally hear the worry in Ye Yiren's tone, which made her even more embarrassed. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost my phone before, and I had trouble finding a place to stay. I almost slept on the streets. I just managed to get it sorted out."

"Is that so? Then come find me~ What do you take me for? Do you think I can't even provide you with food and lodging?" Ye Yiren said angrily, so much so that Ling Mengxue could imagine her angry face even through the phone call.

"Thank you, but... Yi Ren, where are you?"

"..."

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

After a moment of silence, the other person spoke again, "I'm at 'Star Prefecture Media University,' an all-girls college with fewer boys and lots of pretty girls. I'm a member here now, Brother Feng, don't be shy, you can come find me directly."

"Star Prefecture Media University?" Ling Mengxue was taken aback, then recalled the business card Meng Yi had given her not long ago.

That person... seems to be from Star Prefecture Media University, right?

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

However, Ye Yiren recommended that she go to the 'Star Engraving Alliance' to participate in the exam last time. Could this be the same place?

Ling Mengxue was somewhat dazed. After Ye Yiren gave a meeting place, the phone call ended abruptly.

However, she was unaware that since the end of this instance, the outside world and the online communities formed by players and enthusiasts had been in an uproar, and even Special Affairs Bureau had begun to investigate this 'Survival Challenge'.

Whenever such Dimensional Secret Realm opens, a dedicated department will go there to investigate and collect information.

Once you find one player, you can basically obtain the basic information of all the participants.

Ping'an District, known as the most terrifying supernatural dimension in Star Prefecture, saw an astonishing 50% of its inhabitants emerge alive this time. The top performer even received a performance score of 94 points, causing an uproar among netizens.

Once the rankings were listed, netizens immediately began to comment...

[Kindergarten leader: "Ling Mengxue? Why is that a girl's name? Is it that awesome? Could she be Destiny Engraver?"]

[OneNet Without Money: "You know what, it's actually quite possible. There have been one or two instances of Fate Girls being selected to become a player before, but they were extremely rare, only about two or three."]

[Big-eyed cute girl: "Didn't you guys notice? The top few names all seem to be girls' names, and their scores are so high. Second place ID 'Shu Momo' has 90 points, third place ID 'Ling Lexuan' has 79 points, and several girls after that have scores in the 50s or 60s. Are they cheating?"]

While those anime forums were still buzzing with excitement...

Meanwhile, at Star Prefecture Media University, where the 'Star Engraving Alliance' belongs, the members were equally stunned and speechless upon hearing the news brought back by Meng Yi.

The little princess has been found, but not in Linzhuo, but in the most terrifying secret realm of Ping'an District within Star Prefecture.

The United Alliance has a dedicated network technology department, and after hearing the news, all the relevant information was leaked in just a few minutes!

[img=700,989]htt Chapter 134 Street Life in the Food Street

"A secret realm in Ping'an District? Could it be in Linzhuo?"

Inside a public office at Star Prefecture Media University, Meng Yi and a dozen or so young women were gathered together, waiting for a professional to give them a presentation.

The office is very spacious, accommodating dozens of people without feeling crowded. The green plants and flowers in front of the window bring vitality to the space, and a large flat mirror installed on the wall spans the entire visual space, giving people a sense of comfort.

Upon hearing this question, a girl in Cuihua mini-skirt looked over and said with a smile, "Sister Shu Yun, you don't know yet, do you? This is information that Principal Meng brought out from the Secret Manor in Ping'an District, so there won't be any problems."

"Could it be that our princess has also been chosen as a player?" Shu Yun looked somewhat bewildered. She knew exactly who their faction's princess was, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Just after the question was asked, a quiet girl wearing glasses and a daytime JK uniform explained, "You can't generalize. The probability of Destiny Engraver being chosen as a player is very low. Our princess's strength is definitely not low, so the probability of her being chosen is even lower. Besides, she can also enter through players' secret realm entry tickets. There's even a possibility that she might be invited by the owner of the secret realm, but I'm more inclined to believe the former. The princess entered for her friends."

These remarks drew admiration from many, who gave the girl a thumbs up, praising her as a walking encyclopedia.

There was still very little relevant information, but everyone was somewhat relieved to hear that Meng Yi had already taken measures.

"But what if the little princess doesn't want to?"

Another question was raised, and the entire room fell silent.

This seems to be another big problem.

For some reason, Shu Yun felt a strange urge to laugh upon hearing this. She glanced out the window without making a sound, though she was also quite looking forward to it.

Soon, night fell.

Dark clouds pierced through the crescent moon, dispelling the darkness. The hurried crowds, passing vehicles, the cries of roadside vendors, and the constantly flashing traffic lights all seemed to reflect the summer night.

As you walk past intersections, you see bars brightly lit and markets sparkling with lights.

Various stalls are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, their flickering lights illuminating the night scene of the Ming River. The aroma of barbecue permeates the air. Heading west from the intersection, flames leap from the barbecue grills at the roadside stalls, puffs of white smoke rising into the sky—a warm and harmonious scene, truly the beginning of nightlife.

In the bustling streets of Star Prefecture East City, like most girls, Ling Mengxue chose a simple outfit when she went out: a plain and comfortable white sundress.

Even walking at night, the number of people turning their heads to look at them was incredible, but thankfully they didn't receive excessive attention.

Of course, it also depends on who is wearing it.

Recalling the experience at noon, Ling Mengxue still felt lingering fear, sighing at the hardships of life. She instinctively tightened her grip on the Blood Doll's hand and said to her, "This is a one-time thing. Don't leave the Ping'an District while I'm away. It's extremely dangerous, understand?"

The Blood Doll, clutching the 'Cursed Doll' Ling Mengxue had given her, tilted its head back and blinked obediently. "Understood."

"Okay, let me know what you want to eat. Remember to keep it a secret, or we'll have to go back." Being in an unfamiliar place, Ling Mengxue silently put away her phone upon arriving at the location indicated by the navigation, turning to ask with a look of helplessness and heartache in her eyes.

I wonder how this little girl used to solve her food problems. Did she just eat food from the refrigerator?

With cooking skills like that, she almost blew up the kitchen at lunchtime. Luckily, she heard the commotion and arrived in time, preventing any major problems. Otherwise, the whole house would have been destroyed. How can she be like a house-destroying maniac?

Looking at the dazzling array of food on both sides, accompanied by the aroma wafting in the breeze, Blood Doll couldn't help but have her eyes light up and wipe her mouth.

It smells so good! Everything looks delicious!

Ling Mengxue glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Food street! This is a paradise for foodies, it will definitely satisfy all your culinary fantasies.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money in your pocket; otherwise, coming to this place is simply torture.

The little girl stared wide-eyed at the camera, looking around with the curiosity of a child. Ling Mengxue found her innocent and adorable gaze rather endearing and chuckled as she said, "Wipe your drool off. You won't go hungry later."

Upon hearing this, Blood Doll instinctively covered her mouth, blinked her watery eyes, and immediately fell silent, realizing she was in trouble.
