Chapter 48: Split Up and Search
The Moon Bay International Golf Course was located in the north of the Imperial Capital, in the outer ring region. It was built along the mountains and covered an area of more than a thousand kilometers. Those who could come here were either big shots in the business world or the children of prestigious families.
Along the way, Wei Xueying said in a frustrated tone as she did her makeup in front of a mirror, “If I’d known that he would go there today, I would have gone to the spa last night. Oh my god, I feel like I don’t look good enough. The lipstick color I chose today isn’t that good either…”
Chu Luo glanced at Wei Xueying, who was getting more and more vexed as she spoke, then took out her phone and continued playing games.
The game “Battle of Lightyears” was hot-blooded and imaginative. Furthermore, many of the hidden missions inside were unexpected. She liked it.
Just as she finished a mission and was about to report, she was suddenly stopped by a burly gamer.
[I’m a Bandit]: “I like your Crystal Stone. If you know what’s good for you, give it to me. Otherwise, I’ll beat you back to the Novice Village.”
Chu Luo looked at the arrogant words that appeared above that person’s head and remembered that the game description had said before that players could PK with each other, according to their levels. If they were continuously defeated, their levels would increase and fall until they dropped back to level one.
Moreover, there was also a crazy setting in this game: Once one entered PK mode, it won’t end unless both sides clicked to end the PK, or one side was beaten back to level one by the other. No matter where this person went, as soon as the other party clicked on PK, that person would immediately appear and PK with the other party.
Chu Luo was already at level ten, and the other party was exactly twice as strong as her.
Without replying to anything, she clicked on PK.
[I’m a Bandit]: “Oh f*ck, you have aspirations. Don’t blame me for not having a tender heart for the fair sex (Note: That is, if you are a woman).”
[Bai Ling]: “Begin.”
With that, she entered the PK arena.
What followed was too cruel to look at.
When the car stopped in the golf course parking lot, Wei Xueying glanced at the game in Chu Luo’s hand and was a little surprised. “Luoluo, so you like to play ‘Battle of Lightyears’?”
Chu Luo didn’t bother about the banished-to-level-one [I’m a Bandit] who kept posting ruthless words on the world channel, asking Chu Luo to wait for him to make a comeback and take revenge on her. She looked up at Wei Xueying.
Wei Xueying said, “This game is very famous. Every year, from the end of June until the end of August, a world PK tournament is held. I heard that if you can get into the world tournament, the reward will be very generous.”
Wei Xueying added, “But this game is famous for its difficulty, so just play it for fun. Don’t take it too seriously… Let’s go, we’re here.”
Chu Luo nodded at her and put away her phone. The two of them got out of the car.
Wei Xueying’s friend was already waiting for her there. She was a woman about the same age as Wei Xueying. Although she wasn’t as beautiful as Wei Xueying, she was good at dressing up and showing off her beauty.
“Xueying, here.”
The two of them walked over.
That person quietly sized up Chu Luo and asked with a smile, “Xueying, who is this girl?”
“She’s my little cousin.”
“Oh, I heard from you before that she’s a very shy little girl who doesn’t like to talk. But your little cousin looks really young and beautiful. Is she really 18 years old?”
After saying that, she greeted Chu Luo, “Hello, little girl. I’m Cui Jiayao. You can call me Sister Yao.”
Chu Luo greeted her, “Sister Yao.”
When Wei Xueying heard Cui Jiayao say that Chu Luo was beautiful, she subconsciously tilted her head to look at her. She then said to Cui Jiayao, “Aunt said that Luoluo has been picky about food since she was young. That’s why she looks younger than her age. Aunt and Uncle have very good genes, so Luoluo definitely won’t turn out too bad.”
Cui Jiayao smiled and nodded. Then, she held her arm and said excitedly, “My elder brother is here discussing a contract today. He told me that that person is also here. Let’s go in first.”
“Do you know where he is? The golf course is so big. How can we meet him?”
“I don’t know. No one dares to investigate his whereabouts. But since Big Brother has seen him before, he should be near where Big Brother is. We just need to go over there and slowly look for him. We might just run into him by chance. Hehe…”
The two people in front were chatting too enthusiastically and had obviously forgotten about Chu Luo behind them. Chu Luo didn’t mind and slowly followed them.
The golf course was divided into many areas. One couldn’t see the end of it after entering.
The three of them first took a golf cart and went along the driveway. Ten minutes later, they stopped beside a golf course.
Every course was surrounded by a high wire fence. There were several men and women playing in the course they arrived at.
Cui Jiayao pointed at one of them. “Hey, my older brother is over there.”
After saying that, she called out “Brother” loudly and waved at him.
A mature man dressed in casual clothes who bore some resemblance to Cui Jiayao walked over.
When he walked in, Wei Xueying greeted him with a smile, “Brother Xudong.”
Cui Xudong smiled and nodded at her, but his gaze was on Chu Luo. On the surface, he looked gentle and elegant, but there was a sharp glint in his eyes.
Chu Luo was also sizing up this man. Other people might look at one’s appearance, but as a High Priestess, she was especially sensitive to certain strange things. This person was supposed to have had a short life, but at this moment, he was standing here alive and well. This was already abnormal.
A cold glint flashed across Chu Luo’s eyes.
Cui Xudong retracted his gaze from Chu Luo’s face at the same time and asked Cui Jiayao and Wei Xueying with a smile, “Do you want to come and play with everyone? The people who came with me today are all my peers.”
“No, no. Xueying and I have made arrangements.” Cui Jiayao smiled and waved her hand. “Go accompany your client. We’ll go take a look around first.”
Cui Xudong seemed to have guessed what they were trying to do and nodded with a smile. He didn’t expose them and only said meaningfully, “Don’t forget to bring this beauty along when you play.”
After saying that, he asked Chu Luo in a gentlemanly manner, “What’s the name of the little beauty?”
Chu Luo looked at him with those dark eyes and pursed her lips without answering.
Cui Jiayao answered for her, “Brother, don’t scare Luoluo. Luoluo is a little timid. She’s Xueying’s little cousin.”
“So you’re Xueying’s little cousin.” The smile on Cui Xudong’s face deepened as he said to them, “Go play. Let’s eat lunch together.”
“Okay. We’ll go play now.”
“Go ahead. Remember to look for me at the restaurant at noon.”
“Got it.”
The three of them walked on the road outside the fence. After walking for a while, Cui Jiayao received a text message. She looked at it and said to Wei Xueying with a smile, “Xueying, my brother suggests that the three of us split up to look. This is more efficient.”
Wei Xueying thought that this was a good idea, so she said to Chu Luo, “Luoluo, follow this path later. If you meet the handsomest man in this golf course or hear someone call Master Li, give me a call.”
She then gave her phone number to her.
Chu Luo nodded and turned to walk towards the path Wei Xueying had pointed out.
