Tipsy in the Evening Breeze

The VR virtual reality version is already done. It's said that they applied for the relevant "technology" from a certain "Magic Association." The immersive virtual reality game experience has been completely revamped and is now officially on sale. That's pretty impressive.

Mentioning this, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but think of 'A Certain Sword Art Online', the world of SAO "Aincrad" sword. Let's try our best to clear the game and escape in this endless game!

Does it have a 'logout' button? If it does, I won't play.

Cough cough... This is outrageous...

"Xiaoxue, aren't you sleepy? Do you want to sleep with me?"

Luo Xiyan went back to her room, changed into a light pink, thin nightgown, and then came out wearing bunny slippers.

Seeing the two people, one big and one small, sitting on the sofa playing games, she was actually a little bored and didn't quite understand.

The game is fun, but it shouldn't be this addictive, right?

You really need to rest...

"This new character's mechanics seem to have some issues. The special abilities aren't good; getting hit by skill effects first and then dealing damage with basic attacks is really weak."

Ling Mengxue was somewhat lost in thought as she controlled the 'Soul Charmer' that Su Xiaoxiao had just bought for 988. Aside from the character's good looks, it didn't seem to have much use.

Suddenly realizing what she'd done, she quickly turned to the latter and smiled, "Xi Yan, you go and rest first, don't worry about me."

"..."

Luo Xiyan was speechless for a moment, hesitated, then gave a smile and turned to go back to her room.

To be honest, his back view looked a little lonely...

Ling Mengxue's gaze returned to the large television screen, and something felt off...

But it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

7 PM, Imperial Capital Yanjing University, in the school cafeteria.

Amidst the astonished and gleaming gazes of the crowd, Ling Mengxue was led in by two "older sisters," each holding one of her hands.

At this time of day, there are quite a few people coming and going from the school and the campus, many of them relatives, friends, or younger siblings of the students. There are quite a few children among them, but a child as delicate as a porcelain doll like her is truly unique. She'll definitely be a beauty icon when she grows up... Hmm... Sparrow food, huh?

However, most eyes were still on Luo Xiyan and Su Xiaoxiao, wondering what was so fun about children.

Looking at beautiful women is the right thing to do!

Seeing herself like this, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and became particularly timid and cautious.

"What would you two like to eat? Xiaoxue, is this your first time here? Shall I read the menu to you?"

After finding a seat, Su Xiaoxiao immediately stood up again and volunteered to be the "food server".

"No need, Sister Xiao Xiao, you can choose what to eat. I'm not picky. You should ask Xi Yan instead." Ling Mengxue smiled wryly. She wasn't familiar with the area either, so she didn't say anything more.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, quickly jotted it down, and then skipped off to order.

Soon after, five or six fragrant dishes were served to the three people.

As is customary, Miss Su would handle 70% of the food, while others would order. The young lady was worried that it would be too little and not enough for everyone!

Ling Mengxue sat on the bench next to Luo Xiyan, barely able to reach the table, and ate the fragrant spicy hot pot with bamboo skewers.

However, the inconveniences of this body gradually became apparent. Even eating a simple sausage required taking small, careful bites, and one could easily end up with greasy food all over their mouth, requiring their girlfriend to clean it up.

How could this not be embarrassing?

Ugh! How embarrassing!

"By the way, Sister Xiao Xiao, there are a lot of people outside, and it's decorated with lanterns and streamers. What kind of event is it?" Ling Mengxue held up a skewer, took a bite of a mushroom ball, and asked curiously.

"You'll find out soon enough." Su Xiaoxiao smiled and continued, "Xi Yan probably knows more. You know this world isn't as safe as it seems on the surface. There are unknown secret realms from other worlds, 'nightmares' hidden in the city, and we have to 'fight wits and courage' with the Star Engraving and Dark Faction's Destiny Engraver. So, besides us, who are the main maintainers of order?"

"Special Affairs Bureau? But isn't this an activity at your school?"

"Hey~ that's right, but this is a banquet hosted by our school. Yanjing University started the Martial Alliance Training Camp a long time ago, and now it's been listed as an important subject. The party is to celebrate the senior students passing the 'Ninth Bureau' assessment." Su Xiaoxiao sighed, unlike them, the Magical Girls, who didn't have to worry about so much.

"Is that so?" Ling Mengxue asked as if she were listening to a story, taking a bite of a tofu puff. The juice splashed out, scalding her tongue.

I never imagined that even top national universities would offer courses in "Martial Alliance." I wonder if "Star Warrior" will become a new profession in the future?

After all, in this world, someone always has to stand up and do something different.

Everything happened so suddenly. In just a few short years, so many things that science couldn't explain suddenly appeared...

"But... what's the deal with that 'big shot'?" Ling Mengxue asked, remembering what Su Xiaoxiao had said at noon.

"Well, it's not that big, just for ordinary people." Su Xiaoxiao smiled, then nonchalantly slurped up a mouthful of noodles. "Anyway, he's still an annoying guy. If Que Shi didn't have some strength, I would have thought he had something wrong with his head."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something else and suddenly felt annoyed. She tapped the bowl and plate with her spoon. "There's also an annoying woman among them... she's my lifelong nemesis!"

Chapter Seven: The Evening Breeze is Gentle

"Does Sister Xiao Xiao still have a lifelong nemesis?"

Ling Mengxue became interested. She remembered that Su Xiaoxiao was Intermediate Mage, and she was surprised that someone could make this young lady so concerned.

Perhaps there was some bad holiday celebration?

"She's different from us, she's from the Dark Girl' side." Su Xiaoxiao's pink cheeks puffed out in anger. "When you meet her later, don't be fooled by her appearance. That woman is cunning and a complete pervert!"

Ling Mengxue's expression was somewhat blank; she moved her lips but didn't speak.

She didn't know exactly what kind of perversion it was, but considering some rumors related to Hell Girl, she seemed to understand it a little...

As I left the cafeteria, it was already getting dark, but the atmosphere on campus remained vibrant.

The event was simply yet stylishly decorated with wreaths and Easter eggs. There were many people coming and going, including many students, some of whom were couples, holding hands and leaning on each other's shoulders, chatting and laughing.

Below the high platform on the playground, tables and chairs were arranged on both sides, each covered with exquisite brocade cloth, with flower petals falling from the ceiling of the auditorium, creating a very suitable atmosphere.

In one corner, there were even people dressed in the Special Affairs Bureau uniforms.

Ling Mengxue remembered that the Ninth Bureau did not have any special requirements for the members' attire; they were all identified by badges, so it was fine even if you wore pajamas.

Of course, under normal circumstances, members on missions wear uniforms. Only Senior Investigator with more freedom wear all sorts of strange clothes; no one would stop you if you wore a Batman suit.

You can even report your clothing preferences to the organization, and they can send someone to custom-make clothes for you.

Well... that's a very humane approach.

"Rain in Tokyo, soaking Paris--??????∮"

A subtle ringtone sounded. Ling Mengxue, with one hand in her pocket, frantically pulled out her phone in the darkness, glanced at the caller's name, and sensed something was wrong.

Luo Xiyan seemed to have noticed as well, and gently patted her head. "Do you want me to stay with you?"

"No need, no need, I'm just going to use the restroom. Xi Yan, you guys go first, I'll be there later."

Ling Mengxue smiled and waved, then ran towards the nearby bamboo grove.

This reason is perfectly reasonable and can serve as a cover.

Without leaving a trace, I pulled out a 'Voice-Changing Sticker,' also known as a 'Voice-Changing Magic Patch,' from the Destiny Space. It can be used whenever you need to change your voice, and that's exactly what I'm talking about now.

Watching her run away and disappear from sight, Luo Xiyan felt a little uneasy.

He's already a child; isn't that precisely why he's even less "safe"?

Su Xiaoxiao pulled out a bag of potato chips from somewhere, eagerly tore open the packaging, grabbed a handful and stuffed them into her mouth, then glanced at Luo Xiyan and said, "Xi Yan's gone, are you afraid she'll get lost?"

"Um."

"..."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, unsure of what to say, she suddenly held up the potato chips. "My favorite 'barbecue flavor,' let's eat together!"

On the other side, in the small park next to the playground, Ling Mengxue slunk out of the bushes, perhaps because she was too short, her clothes were covered in mud and leaves.

Fortunately, it's not a big problem!

"I never thought I'd end up like this, I'm really down on my luck..."

Ling Mengxue tidied her hair a bit, removed the extra "decorations" from her body, and leaned against a nearby bench to answer the phone. It was 'Yan Ying' calling; she was one of the leaders who joined this Special Affairs Bureau.

"Sister Yan Ying," she spoke first.

"Ling-meimei? How have you been lately? I've seen all the commotion you've caused in Star Prefecture. The top ten most dangerous secret realms in the country—only you could clear those places with ease, meimei~" Yan Ying pursed her lips slightly, her tone ambiguous, seemingly in a good mood, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible resentment.

"Oh, it's just to help a friend of mine, it's not really that dangerous..."

Ling Mengxue knew that her predecessor, her older sister, was concerned about her, so she felt quite embarrassed and quickly got to the point. "By the way... Sister Yan Ying, is there something you need me to handle? I'm in Yanjing right now."

"You really dare to say that?" Yan Ying's tone was somewhat helpless on the other end of the phone, then she chuckled lightly, "There's nothing that needs your attention, just letting you know that the rebuilt base is finished. I'll send you the address now in case you don't know it."

"OK."

"However, if you happen to be in Yanjing, you can find some time to report to the headquarters training camp and collect your equipment. At your level, the stuff you get will definitely be good."

Do you have a nuclear bomb?

Yan Ying: "..."

When the phone suddenly went silent, Ling Mengxue was puzzled. Was her question strange? "Is Sister Yan Ying there?"

"Cough cough... Yes, I just took a sip of water and accidentally choked..."

In a taxi parked on the street in Southern Sky Province, Central Prefecture.

Yan Ying leaned back in the driver's seat, a little embarrassed, and touched her face. "Anyway, that's it~ Thanks to you, I have more room for promotion. How about I cook you something delicious next time I come back? My house is quite big."

How big is it?

Ling Mengxue almost blurted out those words again, but remembering Xi Yan's reaction at noon, she quickly stopped herself and said, "Okay, Sister Yan Ying, I haven't thanked you yet for helping me ask for leave..."

"I feel guilty helping you skip class."

"..."

"Alright, Ling, you're so young, remember to be careful when you're out alone."

"Um..."

Beep--

After ending the call, Ling Mengxue sighed helplessly.

It's not for any particular reason, it's just that in my current state, there are many things I can't do...

Suddenly, a noise from behind the wall of the toilet not far away caught her attention...

"Did you bring the goods I ordered?"

"Yes, yes, it's all in this bag. Give me the money first. That's how it's always done in the movies—cash on delivery, understand?"

"Huh? I think you don't understand at all."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You spent my money to buy 'powder,' and now that the 'powder' is back, where did the rest go? Shouldn't you give it back to me?"

"You're so calculating! I'm buying things for you, do you think I'm doing this for nothing? Don't you need to pay for the travel expenses?"

"I understand, but you should have told me beforehand, right? I should have gone by myself..."

"Alright, alright, I don't want it anymore, okay?"

"What's wrong with you? Why did your expression change so quickly?"

"It's nothing, just that we're running low on laundry detergent and toothpaste, so we'll have to find someone to share with..."

"Damn it! No! You're going too far!"

Ling Mengxue, who loved watching a spectacle, initially thought it was some kind of mafia deal, but after secretly taking a peek, she exclaimed, "Wow!"

Are you trading 'snail rice noodles' here?
