I'm also desperate.
Chapter 188 Bai Xiaoya's Great Adventure
In the refrigerator, one half was crammed with fresh ingredients, and the other was filled with instant food like self-heating hot pot.
The former could be processed, while the latter could be heated up and eaten right away.
This, this, this, is this heaven? The service is too attentive!
Fang Yue suddenly felt that having Bai Xiaoya in the house wasn't such a bad thing after all, much more reliable than Yuan Jie!
Of course, the main reason was poverty. Yuan Jie, as an office worker, couldn't possibly fill the refrigerator with so many ingredients that would go bad after a few days.
But Bai Xiaoya was rich and didn't care about that… Wait a minute! I'm rich too!
Damn it, I haven't developed that nouveau riche temperament yet. Next time, I'm going on a massive shopping spree at the supermarket!!
After carefully examining the ingredients, Fang Yue suddenly froze.
He noticed that all the ingredients had time stamps, all of them delivered today, guaranteeing freshness.
Note, it was all of them!
In other words, if Bai Xiaoya did this every day, the ingredients in the refrigerator would be replaced every day!
So, so extravagant!
Is this the life of the rich, only eating fresh ingredients delivered that day?
With a learning mindset, Fang Yue took out some ingredients, processed them, and made braised pork ribs, preserved vegetables with pork belly, and hot and sour cabbage, among other dishes. He ate them with self-heating rice.
Comfortable!
Being able to eat this kind of thing late at night was both heartwarming and satisfying.
Most importantly, my cooking skills are still decent, and I can make things that are edible!
After finishing his midnight snack, Fang Yue patted his full stomach, washed the dishes, cleaned the table, and returned to his room.
Unbeknownst to Fang Yue, as he closed the door to his room, the door to the next room gently opened.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes carefully observed the traces left by Fang Yue's meal, then slowly closed the door.
Back in her room, Bai Xiaoya frowned, seemingly pondering something.
"Nocturnal, stays in the room all day, doesn't throw out trash or buy groceries, never goes out."
"Isn't this… the standard otaku?"
"Doesn't he train his skills?"
"What exactly is he doing in the room all day?"
"Is that a gaming watch on his wrist?"
"He clearly has that kind of power, but instead of making a name for himself, he's holed up in this place playing games?"
Bai Xiaoya was completely puzzled.
She had asked her old man about Fang Yue's information.
But her old man didn't know much about Fang Yue either.
This was one of her old man's many safe houses in Jianghai City. To ensure the safe house's secrecy, her old man had recruited two people with clean backgrounds and stable personalities to live there.
So, both Fang Yue and Yuan Jie were just ordinary people who moved in by accident.
But Fang Yue had shown that kind of power, and that monster…
The more Bai Xiaoya thought, the more confused she became. She touched the emerald pendant hanging around her neck.
"He agreed when I offered him ten million to escort me."
"But with this kind of person, money works the first time, but it doesn't mean it will work the second time."
"What's more… if I asked him to help solve my old man's troubles, he definitely wouldn't agree, after all, the opponent is someone who can do whatever they want in Jianghai City."
"Once he makes a move, he'll never have a peaceful life again. Someone who lives in obscurity definitely doesn't want their peaceful life to be disrupted."
"Indeed… I still need to have power myself!"
"If I directly ask him to be my master, will he teach me? Probably not, the relationship is too distant…"
Bai Xiaoya began to feel a little agitated.
She wasn't the kind of person who would actively make friends with others.
Moreover, with her identity and appearance, people would always try to curry favor and befriend her, no matter where she was.
She could max out relationships without doing anything.
But for someone like Fang Yue, her looks, identity, and status didn't seem to work, not as attractive as money.
"Indeed… do I still have to use that method?"
Bai Xiaoya looked at the package on the bed in her room.
Inside were the second batch of gaming watches released for the game.
These were hoarded goods that some scalpers had bought and sold without using, worth a lot of money.
"A roundabout strategy. Since there aren't many opportunities to meet in reality, I'll cater to his interests and deepen our relationship in the game!"
Unpacking the package, she put on the gaming watch.
Bai Xiaoya lay on the bed and entered the game.
…
"Run! Everyone, run! The strange is coming!!"
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Everyone, withdraw from Shengsheng Village!"
"Abandon the village and immediately go to the neighboring big village for refuge!!"
The first thing Bai Xiaoya saw when she entered the game was a group of people frantically running out of the village.

What… happened?
Is this the game's tutorial?
Boom!!
The ground sank, leaving a huge footprint!
But Bai Xiaoya didn't see anything, only the villagers crushed into a bloody mess.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she trembled as she followed the crowd out of the village.
Ahead, the night was as dark as ink, like a whale devouring everything.
Leaving the village like this would only lead to getting lost in the darkness.
Bai Xiaoya looked at the others and noticed that some people had torches, while others didn't.
Those without torches were crowding around those with torches. The original escape group quickly split into several groups.
"Ahhh!"
"Don't go this way, there are also strange things here!!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and the crowd fled to the right.
Bai Xiaoya quickly followed the flow, and at this moment, she noticed that when people holding torches died in the chaos, the torches would immediately go out.
Then someone would pick up the torch next to the corpse, and the torch would ignite again.
That works?
Bai Xiaoya was a little dumbfounded. She followed the actions of those people, rushed to the front, and picked up a torch from a corpse, but the torch didn't react at all and didn't ignite.
Broken?
"Lend me some fire!"
Bai Xiaoya ran to the front and held the unlit torch to the flame of that person's torch. The person was stunned, then kicked Bai Xiaoya away.
"Crazy!"
Ding.
Bai Xiaoya groaned and fell to the ground in pain.
A green jade pendant around her neck swung out and hit the ground.
What?!
The moment she saw the green jade pendant, Bai Xiaoya's pupils suddenly shrank, and her brain buzzed, going blank.
It… how could it appear in the game!
"Run! Run! The strange is coming!"
"Charge! Charge! It doesn't matter if we deviate from the village road, hurry up and run!"
The shouts around her brought Bai Xiaoya back to her senses.
She carefully examined the green jade pendant. It was exactly the same as the green jade pendant she wore in reality.
Every detail was as precise as a clone, with no differences whatsoever!
What is this…
A beginner item in the game?
Why would a beginner item in the game be exactly the same as the thing my old man gave me to keep safe?
Could it be that my jade pendant in reality is just a souvenir from this game?
Bai Xiaoya felt a little ridiculous and absurd.
And at this moment, a beast-like roar rang out from behind her.
