However, in the end, Lu Li still bought a set of cosmetics for Water Fairy. The reason was that it was a reward for helping Lu Xin choose something.
After that, they went to a clothing store, but Water Fairy didn't buy much.
"Are your clothes limited edition or customized? You don't buy any of the clothes here, do you?" Lu Li asked. He had heard some similar remarks before. Sometimes, a group of poor boys liked to gossip about the lives of the rich when they had nothing to do. Lu Li did not participate in the gossip, but he had heard a lot of it.
"I … don't think so. At least, I often go to the mall to buy clothes. My secretary likes shopping very much," Water Fairy said.
In fact, she did not tell Lu Li that most of the clothes, especially the clothes and dresses worn on formal occasions, were indeed custom-made. Moreover, as a VIP member of several well-known brands, every year at the beginning of the new season, there would be design drawings sent to her. Once she chose them, the staff would come to her house to measure them.
She was afraid that saying this would create a sense of distance between the two of them.
Moreover, she did not lie. She was not a girl who was not down to earth. She also liked shopping like ordinary girls. Sometimes, when she went on business trips to inspect branches, she would also take some time to appreciate the scenery of different places and eat from beginning to end at the roadside food street.
After the two of them strolled for a while, Water Fairy chose a cafe to rest in.
"What would you like to drink?" Water Fairy ordered hers and then asked Lu Li what he wanted. Lu Li looked at the things on the list with a blank expression. He had never drunk these things before.
As if sensing Lu Li's confusion, Water Fairy simply ordered for Lu Li.
"It's my first time drinking it. It tastes weird. I haven't had a chance to try it before." Lu Li was very calm. He did not need to send a message to ask his friends how to behave like an experienced person when drinking coffee for the first time.
"It's bad for your sleep if you drink too often. It's okay to drink a cup occasionally, but I drink water most of the time," Water Fairy said.
"I thought you ate and dressed differently from us," Lu Li said with a wry smile. The poor would fantasize that the emperor's toilet bowl might be made of gold, or that they might eat meat buns for every meal, but they would never imagine that everyone was working hard to live the way they wanted.
"When I was young, I would grind my teeth when I slept." Water Fairy laughed.
"I also know a joke about coffee. My sister told me about it." Lu Li was obviously interested. Otherwise, he would never tell jokes easily in his life.
"What kind of joke? I don't know if I've heard it before. Although I don't usually laugh, I actually like to relax myself with jokes." Water Fairy immediately asked curiously. It was common for people to tell jokes. Many men who wanted to pursue her wanted to show their wit and humor. However, this was the first time that Lu Li had told her a joke.
"In ancient times, there was a general. His wife was a famous socialite. After a victorious battle, he and his wife were walking on the street. He suddenly said that this coffee shop must be good. His wife was surprised and thought that the general was suddenly very emotional. She asked him why he said that. The general said that if we set up a few machine guns in this coffee shop, we could block off the entire street. "
Water Fairy was stunned for a moment before she giggled.
When she laughed, there were two small dimples. They were very cute, especially when she laughed.
That day was the happiest day that Lu Li had ever seen Water Fairy laugh. It was all because he told a joke that he didn't think was very funny.
The next day, when he returned to the game, Lu Li first went to see Ruling Sword's Stronghold.
It had already become a large construction site. The original stone walls had been completely torn down and piles of stone were piled up together. There were people busily working on the construction site. There were a few goblin-like people directing the work. They held whips in their hands and waved them from time to time, but they didn't dare to hit the players.
"Because of the terrain, when other players attack the Stronghold, they can only take these three paths. Two of the paths are very rugged, which is not good for Stealth. We can even make the rugged paths more exaggerated," the player responsible for the design of this project explained to Lu Li.
His name was Jia Ren and he had a younger brother called Jia Yi.
Lu Li and Jia Ren had only just met, but he was very familiar with his younger brother Jia Yi. He was the leader of the Druid profession in the guild and was a very strong combat player. He was also responsible for leading an elite group and had completed the three Instance Dungeons in Blackrock Spire very well.
Jia Ren was a Trade Skill player and apparently didn't like fighting and killing.
Originally, he used his younger brother's name to become a topic of conversation. After all, Jia Ren and Jia Yi's IDs were very eye-catching. He didn't know if they also had this name in real life. If that was the case, then they could only blame themselves for having a father with the surname Jia.
However, after coming out of the Stronghold this time, he immediately became a celebrity.
This was because there were very few opportunities for the entire guild to listen to one person. This time, the person with this authority was Jia Ren.
Jia Ren's identity in real life turned out to be an architecture professor at a famous school. He was also responsible for the design and construction of many famous buildings in China. He was not only a master of theoretical knowledge, but also a master of practical experience. This time, he became the chief engineer of Ruling Sword's Stronghold construction.
Even Water Fairy looked at his blueprints and suggested that if they conquered the Stronghold in the future, they must ask Jia Ren to design it.
"If there's anything you need, just say it." Lu Li didn't know anything, so he didn't care about the design. He was more concerned about the construction period. "If we use this size of stone to build the wall, can we finish it in three days? Next week, someone will attack our Stronghold. If we don't finish it, then we'll be in trouble. "
The defending side had a lot of advantages, but the prerequisite was that they had to have a complete wall.
"Don't worry, it's actually not as difficult as you think. As long as these three sides are built, it'll be fine. I don't plan on building the wall near the river bank for now. After all, this is a game, so we just have to follow the rules of the game," Professor Jia Ren said as he adjusted his glasses.
Glasses were an engineering item in the game, so it wasn't difficult at all.
However, there was no such thing as nearsightedness in the game. After all, virtual reality relied on neural transmission, so wearing glasses was either a habit or a way to show off.
"Although we don't need to collect taxes to enter the city, will it be safe if we don't build a wall along the river?" Lu Li regretted not studying those walls in his previous life. He couldn't even remember if those Strongholds along the river had walls.
"It's not that we don't want to build them, but we won't build them for now. From an aesthetic point of view, it definitely doesn't look good when it's bare, but it's not necessary right now," Jia Ren insisted.
"Then let's do it this way. We'll build three sides for now and use the best materials. The first attack might be very fierce, so we need to prepare some materials. If necessary, we can even temporarily repair the wall," Lu Li reminded.
