Chapter 14: Did You Beat the Weapons Seller to Death?
Not long after, the two of them arrived at an ordinary restaurant.
Zhou Ran looked around at the place, a little surprised.
He had thought Su Qian would pick a high-end restaurant, since she had just earned tens of millions at the auction.
“Tsk, you’re the stingiest person I’ve ever met.” Zhou Ran shook his head helplessly.
It felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.
Whenever someone treated him to a meal, who wasn’t trying to flatter him?
They would push the best restaurants and the most expensive dishes in front of him, just to win a bit of favor, or trade it for some benefit.
But Su Qian didn’t play by the rules at all.
Zhou Ran even suspected the per-person spending here wouldn’t exceed five hundred.
Still, the restaurant was small, but the food selection was complete.
And the taste was pretty good.
Su Qian was so hungry her chest practically stuck to her back.
High-end restaurants served slowly and never filled you up, and she didn’t have the time to sit around waiting.
While Su Qian was eating, a message popped up in her mind from [Myriad Worlds Chat Group].
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, I’m done with confinement! Find an open place and I’ll send the items to you. It might be a lot, so stay far away and don’t get hurt by accident.”
Su Qian paused, then replied in her mind, “Wait! I’m eating out right now.”
Thinking of how Xia Meng Meng said she would send spiritual pills and spiritual herbs, Su Qian felt excited.
But that line about “don’t get hurt by accident” left her confused.
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Why would you get hurt by accident? Is sending items that dangerous?”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “She can’t be dropping a whole sack of spiritual pills on me, can she?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Well… the spiritual pills and spiritual herbs are for Sister Qian Qian. Everything else is for Xiao Yu.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “There’s even a share for me? Meng Meng, I love you to death! [finger heart]”
Su Qian finally understood.
Group members couldn’t exchange physical items directly with each other. They could only exchange with the real world.
If Xia Meng Meng wanted to give things to Jiang Xiao Yu, she could only do it through Su Qian.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “So I’m basically a package transfer station right now?”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “No. You’re Cai Niao Post Station.”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Haha, that really fits.”
But she had only just sent supplies to Jiang Xiao Yu two days ago.
She could only wait until next week to send more.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “I’ve already contacted a nursing home. In a few days I’ll go ask Uncle Jiang what he thinks @Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival).”
On Earth, the person Jiang Xiao Yu worried about the most was her grandfather.
Hearing Su Qian say that, warmth surged through Jiang Xiao Yu’s heart.
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Woohoo! Su Qian, thank you so much! I really don’t know how to repay you. I don’t have anything good here. How about I kill a zombie and send it to you?”
Su Qian: “…”
Listen to that. Was that even something a person would say?
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Are you repaying a favor, or taking revenge?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “You might as well look for a few more gold shops. I think Sister Qian Qian needs gold more.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Hehe, that works.”
Su Qian felt like crying.
Xia Meng Meng really understood her.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Zhou Ran asked when he saw Su Qian spacing out for so long.
Su Qian had been chatting excitedly in her mind, but to an outsider, she just looked like she was daydreaming.
She snapped back, glanced at Zhou Ran, and said, “Nothing. Um, I’m full, and I have something to do, so I’m heading back first.”
She couldn’t wait to see what spiritual pills and magic medicine Xia Meng Meng was going to send.
After saying that, Su Qian grabbed her bag and hurried out of the restaurant.
“Hey, hey, hey – you haven’t paid yet!” Zhou Ran yelled behind her, panicking.
But Su Qian was already far away.
Zhou Ran could only sigh. “Tsk, mooching a meal failed.”
On the drive home, Su Qian kept feeling like she had forgotten something.
She thought and thought, but she couldn’t remember.
“Shit, I forgot to pay.” Su Qian slapped her forehead, finally remembering.
She had said she would treat him, but she ran off without paying.
Whatever. Next time she saw him, she’d treat him properly.
After she got home, Su Qian deliberately locked the door.
Then she sent a message in the Chat Group, saying she was home.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Coming, coming, Sister Qian Qian. Stay far away.”
With Xia Meng Meng reminding her again and again to stay far away, Su Qian didn’t dare be careless.
She hid behind the sofa.
Right after that, Su Qian felt a strange ripple suddenly appear in the air above the living room.
With a smack, two cloth bags fell onto the sofa.
From the sound, there were plenty of bottles and jars inside.
Su Qian was about to go check when a sharp sword suddenly dropped onto the coffee table.
“Holy shit!”
The loud clang scared Su Qian so badly she flinched backward.
And it wasn’t over.
Sabers, spears, staffs, axes, battle-axes, hooks, tridents, whips, iron maces, hammers, claws, tang, shuo, staffs, clubs, canes, and meteor hammers all started crashing down.
The whole living room rang with clatter, and everything became a mess.
Su Qian stared, mouth open.
She couldn’t speak for a long time.
There were several of each kind.
Just the swords alone were more than ten.
Su Qian couldn’t help taking out her phone to snap a photo, then sending it in the Chat Group.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “[shocked face] Did you beat the weapons seller to death? @Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder).”
In the photo, Su Qian’s living room was piled into a small mountain of weapons.
Now she understood why Xia Meng Meng kept telling her to stay far away.
If those hit her, wouldn’t she end up in pieces?
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Ahem. I slipped into my Master’s weapon vault while he wasn’t paying attention. These are all divine weapons in the cultivation realm, but your planes don’t have spiritual energy, so you can only use them as ordinary weapons.”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Your Master has a disciple like you. What misfortune for the household!”
Outside the screen, Su Qian nodded in deep agreement.
You could guard day and night, but it was hardest to guard against the thief in your own home.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “[heehee] I only took a little. Master has so many weapons that they just sit there collecting dust anyway.”
Su Qian’s mouth twitched.
This wasn’t taking “a little”. This was basically emptying the place.
She was really looking forward to Master going to check the weapon vault.
That expression would be spectacular.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, pick the ones you like and keep them. Send the rest to Xiao Yu.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Finally I can have decent weapons! You have no idea, these past few days I’ve been chopping zombies with a kitchen knife. It’s been driving me crazy!”
Su Qian first picked up one of the cloth bags on the sofa and opened it.
Inside were several bottles and jars.
Each one had a paper label, with a pill name written on it.
marrow-cleansing pill, fasting pill, beauty-enhancing pill, and also rejuvenation pill, bone-mending pill, wound-healing pill, detoxifying pill, heart-nourishing pill, lung-cleansing pill, vision-clearing pill…
Su Qian’s eyes lit up instantly.
These pills sounded magical.
