Astral Flower-Chapter 120: Blending in the Crowd
They went into the mall and separated into two groups.
Tian Lou and Tou Lu Pian looked like two brothers who were having fun while Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua looked like proper brother and sister. Even though there might be some doubt since their face didn’t look alike that much, but there were brother and sisters who didn’t look like each other.
That was the beauty of gene.
It could make a lot of differences in various matters, including appearance.
"We can use our money here." Long Qian Xing checked his light brain and laughed lightly. "There was only notification that everything had to be under 10000 NA."
Nan Hua nodded.
This was to prevent them from buying car and then left Twilight City.
Since they were in the Twilight City for the competition, it meant that they were not allowed to leave Twilight City until everything was over. This was an entire day’s competition but based on the record, it was hard for them to hide until the end of the time?
Why?
Because in each team, there would definitely be a hacker who could hack the internet and figure out their hiding location.
"Let’s go and eat something. The food in the Virtual World will not make us full, but it’s quite a novel experience." Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. "You can taste it but you can’t really say that you’re full."
When he was a child and brought into the Virtual World for the first time, Long Qian Xing dragged his parents to taste variety of food. Since he would not be full, it didn’t matter how much food he ate.
It would only stimulate his taste buds and didn’t affect his digestion system at all.
Nan Hua nodded as she listened to Long Qian Xing.
Virtual World truly brought everything that was possible from the real world into the virtual world. So much that it was entirely possible for them to live a life inside as long as their body was supplemented with enough energy nutrients.
While it might not be very healthy, they could still be very happy in the Virtual World. Living here would not feel any different from living in the real world.
"I heard that it’s expensive," Nan Hua said softly.
"Yeah, the price is a few times the price of normal food outside." Long Qian Xing also knew about this. "But it didn’t matter too much. I’m here to take you around this time."
The sole reason why the food was produced in the first place was to provide them with enjoyment and not for the sake of filling them with energy. Thus, the price was significantly higher than the price of real food outside.
Long Qian Xing only wanted to scold capitalist when he saw the price.
But thinking about it from another perspective, Long Family also had business in the Virtual World, so he swallowed all the words he wanted to say.
In the end, he left it be.
As long as there was market, there would definitely be people who come to the Virtual World to enjoy these things.
Ding!
The elevator arrived and Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing entered along with several other people. Tian Lou and Tou Lu Pian were no longer visible at this time and who knew where they go.
It didn’t matter anyway.
Before long, they reached the seventh floor and walked out.
Looking around her, Nan Hua understood why these people wanted to pick this building and also the food section. Because they could look outside through these glasses wall and windows.
They only need to find quiet place, enough for them to target the people who were outside and so on.
"We might not the only one who want to come here," Nan Hua commented.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows, a glint flashed within his eyes. He naturally understood that Nan Hua was not talking about the people who come here for enjoyment and so on.
Instead, she was talking about the other teams.
This mall was one of the biggest mall in Twilight City. Around the next few blocks, there were not many tall buildings and it could be said that this mall was the only one.
It would be very convenient for them to stay here and started looking for the other targets.
"Are you afraid? Do you want to go to the roof instead?" Long Qian Xing smiled faintly.
Nan Hua raised her head to look at Long Qian Xing. "No."
Afraid?
How many years since the last time she felt this feeling?
To be exact, when was the last time her feelings fluctuated in the slightest bit?
For the sake of her survival, she had long had to cut off any last trace of her feelings. Because she knew that the moment she had any feeling, the organization would make use of this weakness of her and tormented her again.
After countless sufferings, Nan Hua would not repeat the same mistake again.
She was not as much as a human like a robot by now.
Doing tasks and achieving her goal through whatever method available to her. As long as there was any trace of survival, she would go on and continued to finish the mission.
Just like that of a machine.
They knew nothing but to finish the work programmed to them.
All the emotions she showed so far was nothing more than an act. An act in order to blend as Nan Hua and passed the mission perfectly.
The organization hadn’t contacted her again and Nan Hua was not in a hurry at all.
This was not the first big mission she had done and if the organization didn’t contact her, it just meant that they wanted her to stay longer in the Nan Family.
Long Qian Xing looked straight at Nan Hua’s clear black obsidian pupil. They looked very beautiful, just like the beautiful night sky. Black but with the endless charm. He looked away after a moment. "Alright, let’s order some ice cream. They’re priced at 17 NA."
Nan Hua nodded. "They’re only 10 NA at most outside."
"That’s because the ice cream is more beautiful."
"How beautiful?"
"Very beautiful. Just look~."
The two of them continued to talk and discussed such a small matter seriously.
