The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

Chapter 49: Was it all a loss?

"Anything else planned for tonight?" the furry guest asked.

"That's all, I'm going to level up now -- are you hungry? Want something to eat?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

"Can I order food?"

"Hmm, there's braised beef, mushroom and chicken stir-fry, and Uni-President, Master Kong, and Jinmailang..."

"Then how about a braised beef one?" The customer pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, then laughed.

"Okay, hmm? It seems like some less popular ones weren't closed—uh—" Ye Xiu stood up, paused for a moment, and his expression became strange.

"Let me look for the TV series Yunxiu recommended before—what's wrong?" The customer looked curiously in the direction Ye Xiu was looking.

Over there, two heads were huddled together, looking this way.

"Ahem, we've been found out!" Lu Chen scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Hmm, we've been found out." Tang Rou smiled and pulled Lu Chen over.

"Um, this is—my friend, you should know him." Ye Xiu smiled and introduced him generously: "The Mu Mu you know."

"Hello everyone! I'm Su Mucheng!" Su Mucheng took off her hat and scarf, smiled, and waved at them. "Sorry Ye Xiu caused you trouble!"

"You are—Mu Mu?" Tang Rou asked with a smile.

"Yes, you must be Rou Rou!"

"Hmm—" Lu Chen stroked his chin, looking at Ye Xiu with a mischievous grin: "Do you usually call Mu Cheng 'Sister Mu,' or 'Mu Mu'?"

"Uh, no, they just call her Mu Cheng directly." Ye Xiu said somewhat awkwardly, "Isn't this to introduce her to Xiao Tang?"

'

"Hahaha." Lu Chen laughed, it was quite rare to see Ye Xiu in such an embarrassed state.

The illusory figure beside him was now trying to grab Ye Xiu by the neck, but unfortunately, a soul cannot directly touch a physical body.

"Want some late-night snack? My treat." Ye Xiu smiled and took two boxes of instant noodles from the shelf behind him, waving them at Lu Chen as he asked.

"Sure, one box is enough, with sausage, egg, and spicy strips," Lu Chen said with a smile.

Instant noodles don't take too long to prepare. Before long, Ye Xiu had finished cooking, handing one bowl to Lu Chen and the other to Su Mucheng.

Tang Rou waved to Su Mucheng. Although she really wanted to chat with her online best friend again, Su Mucheng's identity meant that being fully armed at the bar was already the limit, so there was no possibility of her going downstairs to play games.

Besides, Mu Cheng probably hasn't seen Ye Xiu in a long time, so she probably has a lot to say to him.

Tang Rou, arm in arm with Lu Chen, returned to their seats and asked with some interest, "What do you think is the relationship between Mu Mu and Ye Xiu?"

Lu Chen picked up a noodle, blew on it, and placed it in front of Tang Rou. Tang Rou blushed slightly but did not refuse. She lifted a strand of hair, leaned over, and took a bite.

"Hmm—it should be the same as our relationship?" Lu Chen thought for a moment and smiled.

"Damn it! That's not it!" Su Muqiu shouted in a frantic voice, "I'm going to kill that bastard!"

Lu Chen ignored Su Muqiu's roars and focused intently on feeding his girlfriend, asking, "Is it delicious?"

"It's much worse than what you made." Tang Rou wiped her mouth. "I'm full, you can eat the rest!"

"At least eat a little more!" Lu Chen looked at the instant noodles he had only eaten two or three bites of.

"You eat, you eat, I need to continue leveling up!" Tang Rou put on her headphones, but her eyes were always on Lu Chen. Seeing Lu Chen slurping with the fork she had used without any hesitation, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

This can also be considered as — cough cough.

Tang Rou forced herself to focus her attention on Glory.

While eating instant noodles, Lu Chen scanned the data in the Silver Weapon Editor, pondering how to maximize profits.

Meanwhile, Su Muqiu went over there to supervise Ye Xiu and his precious little sister.

In the morning, Lu Chen escorted Tang Rou upstairs, then yawned as he went downstairs to find Ye Xiu. Su Mucheng was no longer at the bar. Come to think of it, it was during the morning rush hour when Ye Xiu got off work, and there were quite a few people coming and going.

While waiting for Ye Xiu to change shifts, Chen Guo ran over excitedly and glanced towards the bar: "Xiao Tang said Ye Xiu's girlfriend is here? Where's that guy's girl? Did she leave?"

"They've already left," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Sigh, what a huge loss. I heard she was very pretty." Chen Guo sighed, "I really don't know how Ye Xiu managed to trick her into marrying him!"

"Hmm, it's definitely a loss for Sister Chen. Hmm—actually, it's probably a loss for Brother Ye too?" Lu Chen thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

"Him? What did he lose?" Chen Guo asked blankly.

Lu Chen chuckled and remained silent. Chen Guo was a huge fan of Su Mucheng. If she met Su Mucheng and confirmed that Brother Ye was indeed Ye Qiu, she would probably dote on Brother Ye. At the very least, her salary would increase several times over, right? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Chen Guo was slightly disappointed not to see Ye Xiu's legendary girlfriend, but she quickly cheered up and went out for a walk, saying that she felt great today and might even run into Su Mucheng.

We almost met!

My daily routine seems to be settling down soon. I get up promptly at 5 p.m., inform my girlfriend, then get up to wash up, prepare dinner, have a quick bite with Ye Xiu, and then head downstairs to Happy Internet Cafe with my lunchbox.

After that, I first asked my movie-watching buddies about their plans, and after racking up some reward points, I started thinking about Christmas presents.

Although there weren't many setbacks, it was still quite fulfilling.

After finishing his work, Lu Chen stretched and found Ye Xiu looking at something with great interest.

What excited Ye Xiu so much also piqued Lu Chen's curiosity: "What are you looking at, Brother Ye?"

"Oh, this strategy guide written by a newbie is quite interesting." Ye Xiu smiled.

"Strategy? Oh, you mean that thing we talked about before? Have you made any progress? Do you need any help?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.

"No need, no need, you just do your thing." Ye Xiu shook his head.

[Rejected value detected]

"What's so special about this strategy guide?" Lu Chen looked at the rewards he had just received with satisfaction. His tactical thinking had improved. It was also a game-exclusive item, and the description sounded pretty good, so he casually asked.

"What's peculiar about it—well, how should I put it?" Ye Xiu thought for a moment, "If I really followed his instructions step by step, achieving the dungeon record he mentioned would be considered peculiar, right?"

"Oh?" Lu Chen was taken aback. "That amazing?"

"Of course, some parts are a bit unrealistic and wishful thinking," Ye Xiu smiled. "However, the person who wrote this is definitely a talent."
