"Cheers!"
Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, Xiaojun, Sister Zheng, and He Zhiqing clinked their glasses together. Because Xiaojun was a minor, they didn't drink alcohol. Instead, they drank rainbow juice.
The rainbow fruit itself was an ingredient in the A-Class Enhancement Recipe. Long-term consumption could enhance one's mental potential. A bottle of such juice could sell for tens of thousands of yuan, and it was difficult to buy without the channels of the Awakened.
It was important to note that it enhanced mental potential, not directly increased mental attributes. After eating the rainbow fruit, one still needed to constantly meditate and tap into their potential. So far, humans on Earth didn't have any enhancement potions or food that directly increased mental attributes.
"Today, a few of my classmates contacted me and asked me if the Summoner who appeared in the new CG version of the Virtual Combat Platform was my brother …" Xiaojun said with a smile. "I really don't know where they got the news from. They are quite well-informed."
Sister Zheng, who was sitting next to Xiaojun, smiled and said, "It's normal for them to know. When the new version of the CG was released, I released the news on Xiaowen's public account and carried out a wave of publicity on the Internet. Young players all over the country, and even some players around the world, should be interested in the mysterious summoner in the CG. This topic will easily be hyped up. "
Xiaojun's head nodded fiercely. "Yeah, I've also seen that CG. My brother was super cool when he appeared! Although we could only see the outline of his face because of the backlight, the more it was like this, the cooler it was. Many people in our class said that they must buy this hero. "
"I have to thank Sister Zheng for helping me fight for a second of independent appearance." Bai Xiaowen smiled and raised his glass to Sister Zheng.
Sister Zheng raised her glass and drank it in one gulp. "This is my job. When you sign a business contract, I'll take a lot of commission. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Bai for giving a homeless person like me a chance to work, hehe. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and waved his hand. With Sister Zheng's ability, how could she not find a job even if she left the Shark Live Streaming Platform? After all, he had a double master's degree from a famous university and had rich work experience.
"Okay, I'll thank Sister Zheng on behalf of my brother." Xiaojun stood up obediently, picked up the juice bottle, and filled Sister Zheng's glass to the brim.
Sister Zheng happily patted Xiaojun's back, looking happy and harmonious.
Bai Xiaowen could feel that Xiaojun's initial slight resistance towards Sister Zheng had completely disappeared. Instead, she felt a trace of intimacy towards Sister Zheng. This was normal. He and Li Shuyi lived on campus and rarely returned to their home in the Chihuo District. Usually, other than He Zhiqing, only Sister Zheng often accompanied Xiaojun at home.
With Sister Zheng's IQ and EQ, it was easy for her to befriend a young girl like Xiao Jun.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Li Shuyi walked over and glanced at the screen. He frowned slightly and turned to Bai Xiaowen. "It's Fu Hong …"
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. "Fu Hong from the Giant Gods Guild? He came alone? "
"Yes." Li Shuyi nodded. "Do you want him to come in?"
"He's a guest. It's rude to refuse him," Bai Xiaowen said. "Let him in."
Li Shuyi opened the door and Bai Xiaowen stood up to welcome him.
Fu Hong looked the same as always. He was wearing a suit and looked very mature. He first smiled and nodded at Li Shuyi, then showed Bai Xiaowen a bottle in his hand. "This is 1982 Musk sparkling wine. Are you interested in trying it?"
Bai Xiaowen stepped back and made way. "Senior Fu, please come in."
By calling him senior, Bai Xiaowen had already vaguely expressed his attitude. He had invited Fu Hong in consideration of his status as a senior of Calm Sea University, not because he was the manager of the Giant God Medicine Hall or the grandson of the Giant God Guild's president.
Fu Hong certainly understood this, but his expression did not change. He walked into the room with a smile and looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table. "It seems that I've come at the right time."
Bai Xiaowen had already scanned the bottle of Musk Sparkling Wine with his insight.
[Musk Sparkling Wine: Food. After drinking it, the user will be clear-headed. The proficiency of the meditation specialty will increase by an additional 20%. Duration: 120 minutes.]
This bottle of sparkling wine was much more expensive than the rainbow juice. They were two different things. Although the rainbow juice was not cheap, ordinary people could still afford it. The Musk Sparkling Wine was already a psionic item.
Of course, the increase in proficiency of the meditation specialty was only secondary to this bottle of wine. Awakened ones with status and wealth drank this wine for two reasons. First, it showed their status. Second, it tasted really good.
Bai Xiaowen introduced Fu Hong to his family.
Sister Zheng and He Zhiqing hadn't seen Fu Hong before, so it was fine. Li Shuyi didn't have a good impression of Fu Hong and the Giant Gods Guild. But in order to give face to Bai Xiaowen, she didn't express her opinion, but her face was a little tense.
When he introduced Xiao Jun, Fu Hong's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Junior, your sister is really beautiful. It seems that your handsomeness is not accidental, but inherited from your family. "
Fu Hong's words flattered Bai Xiaowen and Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun was a little shy.
"Senior Fu, you must have something to do here, right?" Bai Xiaowen said. Fu Hong's arrival made the atmosphere a little stagnant.
Fu Hong said with a smile, "Of course, I don't visit without a reason. Junior, can I have a word with you? "
Bai Xiaowen paused for a moment. "Okay."
The two walked to the balcony one after another. Bai Xiaowen opened the window, and a cold wind blew in.
"Senior Fu, what's the matter? You can say it now."
Fu Hong and Bai Xiaowen stood side by side and looked at the city lights outside the window. He said with some disappointment, "I remember the first time I met you was there, at the Super Godly Elixir Shop. That meeting wasn't a pleasant one. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I thought you had already died in the Spirit World." Fu Hong turned his head and said, "In other words, I went there mainly for the Super Godly Elixir Shop, not for you."
Bai Xiaowen: "I understand. However, Senior Fu Hong, please remember that without the Super Godly Elixir Shop, I wouldn't be where I am now. "
"Aren't you being too serious?" Fu Hong smiled and said, "With your talent, even if you didn't start with the help of the Super Godly Elixir Shop, you would still have a Giant God Elixir Shop, a Strong God Elixir Shop, and so on. At the end of the day, one's own achievements are the main reason."
Bai Xiaowen didn't comment.
Fu Hong paused for a moment and said, "However, I personally admire your character of repaying kindness and not forgetting your origin. Out of respect for you, I won't target the Super Godly Elixir Shop in the future. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Thank you."
Bai Xiaowen muttered in his stomach. Fu Hong's words were very beautiful. In fact, he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.
With the support of Bai Xiaowen's perfect-grade potions, the Super Godly Elixir Shop held many auctions, attracting a large number of customers and making it famous. Even the other potions not made by Bai Xiaowen sold quite well. The branch of the Giant God Elixir Shop opposite had been losing money for two months in a row.
Fu Hong's words made it seem as if Bai Xiaowen wanted to owe him a favor.
"Junior, I know you have some grudges against our Giant God Guild. The reason is that my old man brought you to the Awakened Association to search. However, he was also thinking about the safety of Jinghai City. I hope you can understand. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "There's no need to mention the past anymore. What's more, Old Man Fu is generous and gave me corresponding compensation."
"In that case, the misunderstanding between us is actually nothing. Once it's out in the open, there's no contradiction to speak of." Fu Hong smiled and looked very happy.
Bai Xiaowen also smiled, but no one knew what the two of them were thinking.
"Junior, the main purpose of my visit this time is to invite you to join the Giant God Guild!" Fu Hong finally got to the point. "I have a deep understanding of your potential, junior, and at the same time, I feel sorry for you. In the Super Gods Guild, it's very difficult for you to achieve great success. After all, the Super Gods Guild is only a bottom-tier B-level guild. Our Giant God Guild is different. We are a well-known A-level guild in the country. We can sign an S-level long-term contract with you and provide you with a lot of resources. "
Bai Xiaowen was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Senior Fu just said that how much a person can achieve is the main reason."
Fu Hong was slightly startled and quickly said, "But the Giant God Guild can help you grow faster."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head slowly and firmly.
Fu Hong sighed. "Junior, do you know that the team leader of Jinghai University's school team is actually my cousin?"
The figure of a beautiful girl with black stockings and high heels appeared in Bai Xiaowen's mind. He nodded and said, "Senior Sister Zhao Yuting, I know."
"Actually, Yuting likes you very much. It's just that she was spoiled when she was young and has a little princess temper," Fu Hong said with a smile. "If you can come to the Giant God Guild, it will be a very good result for you and Yuting."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Senior, don't joke around. Senior Sister Zhao sees me as an enemy. I can't bear it."
"I suggest you get in touch with Yuting more …" Fu Hong persuaded again. Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was unmoved, he could only shake his head and wisely end this topic.
…
In the restaurant.
Li Shuyi cut a piece of stone-skinned wild boar ham, smeared it with strawberry jam, and chewed it in small bites.
Sister Zheng sat next to her and whispered, "Are you really at ease? Why don't you go and take a look together? "
Li Shuyi shook her head. "There's no need for that."
"You're really at ease. That Fu Hong is obviously poaching people. He actually went to the Super Gods Guild Building. He's really thick-skinned. "
Li Shuyi sighed softly. "Xiaowen is free to go wherever he wants. In fact, he doesn't owe the guild anything, let alone me. On the contrary, I've received a lot of help from him … If Xiaowen feels that the Giant God Guild is more suitable for him, I won't stop him. "
"What a silly girl." Sister Zheng sighed, then smiled and said, "You're the young lady of the guild, and I'm just an ordinary agent. You won't be angry if I say you're silly, right? "
Li Shuyi suddenly showed a bright smile. "Sister, I'm not silly."
"???" Sister Zheng's eyes were full of question marks.
"Actually, I understand Xiaowen. I know that he won't leave me." Li Shuyi smiled with a hint of happiness. "Xiaowen also understands me. He knows that I won't be suspicious of him just because he talked to Fu Hong alone."
Sister Zheng looked at Li Shuyi in a daze. Suddenly, a poem appeared in her mind.
As husband and wife, they love each other without suspicion.
Although Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were far from marriageable age and had not registered their marriage, this poem seemed appropriate to describe them.
When this poem appeared in her mind, Sister Zheng's heart surged with a strong sense of envy. She said sincerely, "Sister, you and Brother Xiaowen are both very lucky."
…
On the balcony, after Fu Hong dismissed the idea of inviting Bai Xiaowen to join the Giant Gods Guild, he suddenly changed the topic.
"Junior, you've gained quite a lot in the Spiritual Realm. You even got a piece of Dark Gold equipment?"
Bai Xiaowen was slightly surprised at first because he had just obtained Absalon's Blood Essence Stone. Only Li Shuyi knew about it. How could Fu Hong be so well-informed?
However, Bai Xiaowen's super brain turned slightly and quickly ruled out this possibility.
"Senior Fu, are you talking about the treasure of the shop I opened in the virtual lobby?" Bai Xiaowen smiled. "I'm ashamed to say this, but that Dark Gold shoulder guard was … temporarily lent to me to make the shop look good."
As if I'll believe you, Fu Hong thought. However, Bai Xiaowen's words stopped him from buying it in advance. He could only shake his head and sigh. "What a pity. I wanted to ask Junior to name a price and see if I can buy that Dark Gold equipment."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Senior. Speaking of which, you're very well-informed. That virtual shop did not have my name written on it, but you actually knew that I opened it. "
"Junior Brother, you forgot that the Book of Revelation, one of the three treasures of the shop that you showed before, was taken from my old man," Fu Hong said with a smile. "That silver item only has one use left … So, when I saw it, I knew that 'Big Knife Kills Many' was your business, Junior Brother. You're really good at hiding things. "
"It's just a small business to support my family. It can't be compared to you, Senior." Bai Xiaowen recalled. This was a small oversight. However, Bai Xiaowen did not intend to hide it. So what if he was the owner of the shop? When he had the power to protect himself, he could make money. Why would he be afraid of others knowing? Besides, hiring Zhang Bo and shipping orders every day could not be hidden from the investigation of those who were interested.
"Junior, since you don't want to join the Giant Gods Guild, I can't force you. However, the door of the Giant Gods Guild will always be open to you, "Fu Hong said solemnly.
"Thank you, Senior," Bai Xiaowen said.
