Chapter 101 – Twisted Land of Stars

Can you see the achievements?

This is very comfortable.

Achievements bring a lot of benefits, and they don't conflict with high-end food. Skill levels can also ignore version restrictions, and the benefits are very significant.

If it weren't for not being able to see them normally, I don't know how to do it. There must be more people spending time on achievements than on collecting old coins.

The only regret is that you can only enjoy it alone, not with others.

Otherwise, Gu Chi would consider directly bringing Xia Ling into the instance.

Xia Ling's focus is on the roulette.

She has been staring at the roulette from a close distance for a while, and the golden item names and information appear in front of her.

Xia Ling's bright and beautiful eyes gradually widened, "Is this a legendary item?!"

Gu Chi nodded, "Yes."

Xia Ling looked at him a little confused, "How come you have so many good things?"

Gu Chi hasn't played many games in total. Including the small instances he played recently and the offline instances in Yunhai City, he hasn't even played ten games in total. But he already has the Forbidden Ball and special skills, and now there's a legendary item...

"In fact, this roulette has been here for a month." Gu Chi said.

Xia Ling quickly reacted, "So, you were the player who obtained the legendary item through unconventional means mentioned in the update announcement?"

"Yes." Gu Chi said, "I wasn't a player back then."

He briefly described the process of becoming a player to the girl.

"No wonder you have played so few games." Xia Ling finally understood, and then she felt a little happy and a little sour, "Why am I not so lucky?"

She was happy because her brother Gu Chi was amazing, but sour because she had been hoarding items for so long and hadn't seen a legendary item, while Gu Chi, as a newcomer, already had two. It made her, who considered herself a good player, feel a bit overwhelmed.

Gu Chi shamelessly said, "Maybe you spent all your luck on me."

But Xia Ling surprisingly didn't refute, instead she nodded seriously, "I think so too."

Being able to meet this man in her childhood was really lucky for her and Xia Leng. With their father's passing and their mother being busy, if it weren't for Gu Chi accompanying them and taking care of them as they grew up, they wouldn't know what their lives would be like now.

That's why Xia Ling calls Gu Chi "Father" so naturally.

After all, Gu Chi is their father figure.

Xia Ling then pointed at the pointer, "What buff did it give you this time?"

Gu Chi shrugged, "I can't say."

"Oh... I understand." The confidentiality rules were similar to players not being able to reveal Pure Land to non-players, so Xia Ling, who was simply curious, didn't insist on knowing.

"With your good luck, the buff definitely won't be bad." Xia Ling said.

"It's because you spun it well." Gu Chi added to make the girl feel more involved, "If you didn't touch it, it probably wouldn't have spun when I entered the instance."

Xia Ling blinked her eyes and extended her fair hands towards the light, "Maybe it's because my hands are prettier?"

Quite narcissistic, but it's also true.

Xia Ling's palms are small, with slender and delicate fingers, smooth and delicate back of the hand, visible veins under the skin, and healthy pink nails with a pearl-like luster. Holding hands with her feels boneless and soft, cool and comfortable.

Gu Chi said, "Then I'll borrow your hand if I can't spin it in the future."

Xia Ling replied, "You can also borrow my hand even if you can spin it."

Gu Chi didn't understand her meaning, "Why would I borrow your hand if I can spin it?"

Xia Ling said ambiguously, "Besides the roulette, I can help you spin other places, like..."

As she spoke, her gaze moved downwards, and a mysterious smile appeared on her slightly blushing cheeks.

Gu Chi asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Ling blinked her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Gu Chi said, "Are you playing with fire?"

Xia Ling continued, "I can wear gloves, leather, cotton, or even fine silk. As long as Brother Gu Chi likes it, I can do it."

Gu Chi said, "???"

She was well-prepared.

He stood up with a swish, as if he was going to teach this inexperienced and playful girl a lesson.

But Xia Ling seemed to have expected it, and she quickly ran away without a trace and returned to her own room.

"Father, good night! See you tomorrow!"

Teasing and then running away, so exciting!

Gu Chi looked at the closed door and didn't chase after her.

He didn't really intend to do anything, he just wanted to scare Xia Ling a little.

Gu Chi is more laid-back in this regard and generally doesn't take the initiative.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to obtain the achievements that Huang Yang is proud of.

If Xia Ling likes to play, let her play. Gu Chi can cooperate. This is also one way for him to spoil the girl.

But if one day Xia Ling goes too far and makes him lose his temper, then he can't be blamed.

Even the most laid-back person has their limits.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Gu Chi put away the roulette, took out his phone, and sent a text message to Dr. Chen, reminding him not to oversleep. Then he took a towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He took a long time in the shower.

Mainly because he washed his hair.

By the time he came out with dry hair, it was already past midnight.

His sister, who loves to sleep, is probably already asleep, so Gu Chi sent her a good night message.

He doesn't send this often, but occasionally he remembers to do so.

"Good night."

Xia Leng replied quickly.Gu Chi was content.

He turned off the lights and went to bed.

……

……

The next day.

Gu Chi got up early and cooked a pot of milk porridge with shadow rice, stir-fried a plate of vinegar lotus root, and cut a couple of salted duck eggs.

When Xia Ling got up, she could enjoy a hot breakfast.

"Life is so blissful like this," Xia Ling sighed.

"Doesn't Xia Leng also make breakfast for you?" Gu Chi asked.

"It's not the same. You and her have different flavors," Xia Ling stirred a piece of salted egg into her porridge with her chopsticks, then added, "There's not enough egg, cut one more next time."

Gu Chi: "You want to eat two?"

Xia Ling: "Yes, and it would be better if you could fry a sausage."

Gu Chi: "?"

Xia Ling: "Do we have any at home? If not, let's buy a bag."

Gu Chi: "…"

Xia Ling giggled.

She loved seeing Gu Chi's puzzled and stunned expression when she teased him.

But this time, she underestimated Gu Chi, and her laughter soon faded.

Gu Chi said, "No need to buy, I have some."

Xia Ling: "?"

Gu Chi: "I have some right now, do you want to eat?"

Xia Ling: "…"

Gu Chi: "If you want to eat, I'll go wash one."

Xia Ling: "…"

A series of moves made Xia Ling's cheeks burn.

"No!" Xia Ling blushed, glared at Gu Chi, and began to eat her meal obediently.

A typical case of a strong attack but weak defense.

At half past nine, Ling Mao sent a message.

"I'm ready!"

She was even more enthusiastic than Gu Chi, who had been officially drafted.

Gu Chi also sent a message to Dr. Chen: "Is Tian Tian awake?"

Dr. Chen: "Scram!"

Such a hot-tempered person!

Gu Chi ignored him.

After tidying up a bit, Gu Chi locked the doors and windows and went back to bed.

Xia Ling came over and shared the bed with him.

"Let's get one thing straight, I'm not craving anything from you," Xia Ling said, "I just think that if we're closer, the chances of us being paired together might be higher."

With that, she snuggled into Gu Chi's arms.

Gu Chi: "…"

Is this what they call a sweet duo?

Time ticked away.

Ten o'clock.

The countdown ended, and the two disappeared from the bed on time.

Gu Chi felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, and he was a bit reluctant to let go.

In the pitch-black vision, lines of text gradually emerged.
