Chapter 231 - 231 Gu Yun and His Seniors (II)

231 Gu Yun and His Seniors (II)

“You’re so slow.”

(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)

“I have no GPS…” Lin Ye explained awkwardly. “So I was looking for the way for half a day…”

Su Mumu eyed him mischievously. “Oh, that’s right. You left your phone with me, hehehe~”

“So, what are we going to do?”

Lin Ye glanced at the surrounding shops, “What do you want to do?”

“We haven’t been back for four months, so there must be something you want to eat?”

Su Mumu tilted her head and thought for a while, “I want to eat a frogfish head.”

“There just happened to be a restaurant with a good reputation here. I was thinking of coming to eat during the summer vacation, but after you went to Hive, you disappeared without saying goodbye….”

“Hmph.” She snorted with her emoji face.

(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)

Lin Ye pinched her little face, “Aren’t I the best for making it up today?”

“Oh, by the way, where are Uncle and Aunty? Aren’t they coming?”

“No, they’ve already had dinner, and they’re busy with work at night, so they don’t have much time.” Su Mumu said casually.

“Work?” Lin Ye asked suspiciously.

He had earned a lot of money when he sold guides and equipment.

Except for the money spent on “dog food”, he basically doesn’t use the money. He gave a large sum to Su Mumu’s parents so they could retire and spend the rest of their days peacefully.

He didn’t expect the two of them to be still working.

Su Mumu waved her hand.

“Aish, it’s like you don’t know them at all,”

“Mom and Dad are the kind of people who can’t stay at home and do nothing. They have to find something to do every day. Letting them stay at home for the rest of their lives is like asking them to die.”

“And they didn’t use the money you gave them. They said they saved it for you, and they will give it to you when you need them in the future.”

Lin Ye was speechless.

“They don’t need to do that. I can make more money later in the future. You should tell them to buy more delicious food or use it for financial management or something… If they want to, they can also buy villas and sports cars to show off to their friends.”

“They can use it to own their own business or even to invest.”

“They don’t need to be afraid of losing money.”

“It’s okay,” Su Mumu said indifferently.

“They are used to saving money. Except for the occasional fancy things, they never pursue branded goods. They have no place to spend money at all. They always feel that saving money is much more enjoyable than spending it… Just let them do what they want.”

“I really want to spend money away.”

“Why don’t you give them all to me instead, hmmm?”

(oﾟωﾟo)

Lin Ye flicked her forehead.

“After talking for a long time, it turns out that you, besides eating, never think about saving me money, huh?”

“Hey!” Su Mumu pouted angrily.

“Eating is expensive too, okay?”

“Give me a year, and I will definitely eat till you broke. You better believe it!”

ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ

Lin Ye chuckled, “Nope,”

“Even if you eat your little snack and main meals for eight lifetimes in a row, you still won’t be able to make me broke.”

“Tch,” Su Mumu folded her hands on her chest,

“I have others to feed too, you know… Brother Tree, Brother Spirit, and the souls I’ve summoned… Although they don’t need to eat, it doesn’t mean they can’t eat.”

“Hmm… Do they need to go to the toilet after they’re done eating?” Lin Ye asked curiously.

Su Mumu stared at him, speechless.

“You’re disgusting.”

Lin Ye rolled his eyes. “What?”

“I’m talking about science. Special alien creatures can maintain their daily energy without eating, but they can also eat. Will these things be converted into energy, or do they process food like the human body—”

Before he could finish, Su Mumu covered his mouth.

“Stop!!”

“Shall we go eat first?”

“I’m starving to death!”

Lin Ye smiled. “Are you admitting defeat?”

Su Mumu rolled her eyes.

“Ah, yes, yes, yes. I’m giving up. I can’t eat your money to poverty. Happy?”

s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ

Then, the two of them went to the restaurant that specializes in frogfish heads, found a place by the window to sit down, and ordered three dishes of frog meat plus one dish of fish.

It may seem like a lot for two people, but with Su Mumu, A.K.A. the big foodie, Lin Ye’s worried that it won’t be enough…

While Lin Ye was thinking…

A table not far away suddenly noticed Lin Ye’s arrival.

‘Eh?’

‘Is that…’

‘Boss Lin Ye?’

‘F*ck!’

‘Are my eyes playing tricks on me?’

‘Didn’t people say that Boss Lin Ye had died on the way to conquer a dungeon of the unknown secret realm?’

‘Did he just reincarnate?’

With questions and thoughts filling his mind, Gu Yun’s feet, unconsciously walked up to Lin Ye, and his mouth spoke in disbelief,

“Brother Lin…is that you?”

Before Lin Ye could answer, Gu Yun saw the face of the girl whose back was turned to him and recognized her as Su Mumu, his high school classmate.

Doesn’t that just prove that the man in front of him is 100% Lin Ye himself?

“Gu Yun?”

Gu Yun immediately nodded excitedly.

“It’s me!”

“I looked for you a few months ago! But the Professional Alliance actually said that you sacrificed yourself and died!”

“Died!!”

“F*ck!”

“My young heart has been deceived!”

“But thank god they were lying,”

Gu Yun was Lin Ye’s classmate who helped him test the reliability of his low-level secret dungeon guides. He had always been Lin Ye’s most loyal fan. No matter what kind of anti-fans he encounters, Gu Yun is always the first to defend him and praise Lin Ye like a god-like figure.

“It was natural for them to assume.” Lin Ye said, “I lost contact for four months and couldn’t return to the real world. Most people would think that I had died in a secret instance.”

“But…”

“What are you doing in Jiang City?”

“Generally, students won’t be able to leave campus at will during the opening period, right?”

Although Gu Yun’s Awakened Talent is mediocre, he was smart. Back then, he obtained many free attribute points by relying on Lin Ye’s “cheat strategy”, so his grades in the college entrance examination were also very good.

There must be a reason why he’s here in Jiang City right now.

“Oh, the answer is quite simple, actually. Several seniors in our university have assignments in Jiang City. I’m the only Jiang City native there, so they decided to invite me as a guide.” Gu Yun explained.

“Those people on the table over there. They are my seniors. They are all level 25 Professionals.”

“Oh, I see.” Lin Ye said, “If it’s convenient for you to tell me, what’s the topic?”

“Of course, it’s no problem!” Gu Yun replied.

“They are here to study the materials from the Jiang City Professionals Alliance’s fight against the Abyssal Demons. It is best to go into the Abyss Dungeon that the Professionals overtook to see the structure and layout… Anyway, it is a research topic about the Abyssal Demons.”

After a pause, Gu Yun asked curiously, “Uh… Brother Lin, what happened to you these past few months?”

“I heard that when you died, people were so dumbfounded. As a result, no funeral was held, and the news was not made public. I thought you had offended someone…”

“It’s hard to say the details.” Lin Ye said, “Let’s just say that I spent four months completing a secret mission, and I just came back recently.”

“I will leave Jiang City and report to Tianqi University in two days.”

Gu Yun nodded in understanding “Is it not convenient to say? Okay, then, I won’t ask anymore. I understand the rules, hehe!”

“Eh?”

“Wait a moment!”

“Brother Lin, are you going to Tianqi University in two days?”

“Yes… What’s wrong?” Lin Ye asked curiously.

“I went to Hongyang University.” Gu Yin began excitedly. “Not only do we drop by, but the school’s city is also close to each other. We can leave for Uni together!”

“Anyway, my seniors finished their research. So I can leave Jiang City at any time.”

“For now, I’m simply staying in Jiang City as a tourist.”

“Is that so?” Lin Ye said.

“That’s fine. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow. If you want to go together, please contact me then,”

“Taking the train together is much more fun than taking the train alone.”

“Exactly!” Gu Yun said,

“I will let the seniors know!”

…

Meanwhile, the seniors from Hongyang University turned to watch Gu Yun, who was speaking animatedly and then set their eyes on Lin Ye.

‘Oh?’

‘What a coincidence.’

Who would’ve thought this primary school boy, Gu Yun, turned out to be an old acquaintance of their target?

Then they turned to look at each other.

‘Now… What should we do?’

‘This seems like a good opportunity to get in touch with the target, right?’

‘Are we seizing the opportunity, approaching the target, finding out his situation so that the Black Beast Alliance can carry out the assassination?’

‘Or should we continue with our original mission to remove the important thing from the Abyssal Underground Palace, don’t cause trouble, and remain hidden from the Alliance’s radar?’

‘We must…!’

We must ask the Abyss Lord’s opinion later!
