It was Lin Banyue, dressed in sportswear. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and she had on a pair of small white shoes. She was just passing by his door and it looked like she was just about to go for her morning exercise.
Next to her, Le Xiaoyi was clad in a short sports skirt and a pink-colored half-sleeved sports shirt. She also wore sports headphones and a silk scarf around her neck and was currently moving her arms.
Apart from these two, there were three other young beauties in sportswear who were following behind them. They were chattering amongst themselves, encased by the aura of youth, with no flaws in their appearance or body shape.
In this era, there were only a handful of young people who could get up early, let alone those who could carry out morning exercises. A group of beauties like these who could actually carry out these morning exercises was absolutely rare. This was akin to beautiful scenery and could definitely not be compared to the aunties who had taken over the screen by dancing to the public square dance.
‘As what the ancient ones have said, the early bird catches the worms. They were not lying.’ Li Hanqiang felt the injuries he had received yesterday being treated rapidly.
“Hello, going for morning exercise?” He took the initiative to greet them.
“Hello uncle, you are up early too?” Le Xiaoyi had a lively personality and waved at Li Hanqiang.
Lin Banyue glanced at Li Hanqiang and nodded slightly. While she showed him a professional smile, the indifference in her eyes was obvious.
As for the three beautiful women in the back, they looked at Li Hanqiang for a few moments and giggled.
Li Hanqiang was quite thick-skinned and did not care about the way he was dressed. He stepped up quickly and said to Le Xiaoyi, “Of course! Actually, I always get up early every morning to carry out my daily routine. I understand that you guys are not that familiar with what is around here at the moment. Come, come, come. I will show you the way. The road at the front can directly reach Li City Park and the trail along the Lishui River is the best for running in the morning…”
“No, we don’t need to know that.” Lin Banyue gave him a standard reply.
Li Hanqiang was unmoved as he went closer to Lin Banyue and said, “I am following your live broadcast room. I also gave all my Bird’s Eggs to you…”
‘Bird’s Eggs’ were a type of small free gift on the live broadcast platform. They could be used to increase the popularity of the broadcaster by a small amount.
Lin Banyue put some distance between her and Li Hanqiang and said politely, “Thank you.”
Li Hanqiang took another few steps towards her. “Is it true that you participated in the mysterious closed beta of Endless World? Could I ask you a few questions?”
“Mr. Li, we signed a confidentiality agreement when we participated in the mysterious closed beta.” Lin Banyue smiled. It was apparent that she did not want to communicate with Li Hanqiang more than necessary.
Li Hanqiang pretended not to notice as he continued, “What confidentiality agreement? The public beta has already been carried out, so shouldn’t the agreement be lifted already?”
Lin Banyue frowned slightly and said, “May I know what questions you actually have for me, Mr. Li?”
“I shall carry on with them then!” Feeling refreshed, Li Hanqiang asked, “What new system function can be opened after upgrading the Chaos’ Core with 1000 gold coins?”
Lin Banyue nodded and said, “You can get a Chief Officer.”
“What kind of officer is the Chief Officer? What can he do?” Li Hanqiang asked.
“The Chief Officer is the Chief Officer. It can help the Chaotic City Lord to manage the Chaotic City. You should explore the details yourself, it is hard to explain,” Lin Banyue said.
“Oh!” Li Hanqiang nodded. “I still have one question. Do you know where I can obtain a Magic Stone?”
Magic Stones were the props needed to upgrade the Mysterious Shop. To him, the Mysterious Shop was the key to making a fortune so Li Hanqiang was naturally very concerned about it.
“Magic Stones?” Lin Banyue frowned. “I don’t know, I haven’t heard of it. Does Mr. Li have any other questions?”
“You have never heard about it?” Li Hanqiang rubbed his eyebrows and said: “Then, do you know how to upgrade scenic buildings?”
The Blue Ripple Pond was categorized as a scenic building that could be upgraded. However, the upgrade conditions were unknown and the players needed to find out more about it themselves. Li Hanqiang had hoped to get some useful information out of Lin Banyue.
Lin Banyue shook her head, a trace of displeasure appearing on her face as she said, “I don’t know.”
“What about Paradise? How do you upgrade Paradise?” Li Hanqiang asked again.
The displeasure on Lin Banyue’s face was very obvious this time. “I don’t know. Can you please stop disturbing our morning exercises!”
Li Hanqiang smiled, without a hint of annoyance was on his face and said, “Well, we will see each other later then. By the way, I will give all my Bird’s Eggs to you in the future …”
After he finished, he turned and ran to Tian Ji Bun Shop.
Le Xiaoyi looked at Li Hanqiang’s back, giggling as she said: “That uncle is so impervious to the situation but I can’t blame him. After all, our Sister Banyue has such a charming face?”
Another beautiful woman said, “That person is shameless. What do Bird’s Eggs mean? He dares to even mention free gifts. Is he trying to agitate us on purpose?”
“Listen to the questions he asked too. Magic Stones, Scenic Buildings, and Paradise. I bet that he just made them up by himself to deliberately make it difficult for Sister Banyue to answer,” another beauty said.
“That man is just a loser with low IQ. Let’s pay him no heed.” Lin Banyue waved her hand and gave Li Hanqiang another tag.
Li Hanqiang ran all the way to the Tian Ji Bun Shop. His mind was filled with thoughts of the Chief Officer. Lin Banyue was unclear with the details but he was still greatly interested in it.
‘Someone should already have a Chief Office by now and all I have are gremlin people. I should hurry online and continue to develop the Cave Dwelling in Gremlin’s Mountain.”
Li Hanqiang was feeling eager. This eagerness was not because of his competitiveness, but because he felt that the job of Chaotic City Lord was very interesting. Once he had gotten the hang of it, he fell in love with the idea of building Defensive Towers, and the development and exploration needed.
The unconstrained setting style of Game Creator Endless merely fueled Li Hanqiang’s appetite.
While he was unable to get more information from Lin Banyue, Li Hanqiang felt that this was actually a good thing instead. The more unknown strategies there was, the more he needed to explore the game on his own, which made him like it even more. He always felt that strategies destroyed the game, as all the fun was in self-exploration.
He bought his breakfast in a hurry and had already finished it halfway going back home. After reaching, he immediately went online.
‘The little gremlins have been fishing in the Blue Ripple Pond for a long time. I should go over now to see the results of their labor.’ Li Hanqiang rubbed his hands and walked toward the entrance of the Blue Ripple Pond.
He was full of expectations. The ten little gremlins have been fishing this entire time. Even with the worst-case scenario, they should have still been able to catch a few good things. Even if it were useless fish, they could still be sold for lots of money.
At that moment however, Li Hanqiang was at the brink of explosion.
In the Blue Ripple Pond, the little gremlins that were supposed to be fishing had dozed off or were carrying out somersaults. Only a few were seriously fishing. It would not have mattered if they were only lazy, but the most annoying thing was that they had actually freed all the fishes they caught.
[System Notification: From the Fish Basket in Fishing Pavilion No. 1, the Green Gremlin released Green Carp ×10, Red Carp ×2, Young Herring ×3…]
[System Notification: From the Fish Basket in Fishing Pavilion No.2, the Red Gremlin released the Big Herring ×1, Young Goldfish ×3, Big Goldfish ×1…]
[System Notification: From the Fish Basket in Fishing Pavilion No. 3, the Green Gremlin released the Youth Black Thorned Turtle ×1…]
A list of system notifications came and Li Hanqiang wanted to vomit blood. It was fine if only useless fishes had been released, but they had also let go of a Youth Black Thorned Turtle.
He immediately grabbed the Green Gremlin dozing in the Fishing Pavilion No. 3 and shouted, “Don’t fish anymore. Come over here and hit him!”
The Green Gremlin immediately woke up and was so scared as he fell directly to the ground. He kowtowed to Li Hanqiang continuously as if he was pounding garlic and shouted over and over again, “King, forgive me. King, forgive me!”
