Returning to his own territory, Chu Tian naturally played host, taking everyone out for a day of fun, which naturally included lavish meals.
By afternoon, after purchasing a pile of daily necessities, Zhao Lei and Jin Kaiyu, being quite sensible, did not move into the villa.
Instead, they went to the gym. In Jin Kaiyu's words, "It's much more comfortable there than the makeshift colored steel houses on the rooftop."
Chu Tian's pre-ordered two gaming pods for them were also delivered to the third floor of the gym and installed.
As for why there were only two, Chu Tian had said at the time, "An hour of spring night is worth a thousand gold. What are you playing games for! I'll give you three days off. In three days, the custom-made double pods will also be delivered, and I'll install them in the villa for you then."
After this remark, Gao Kai looked grateful, and Qi Xi's face turned red as she pulled Luo Luo away to chat.
Luo Luo was naturally delighted to have company. The two women spent the afternoon shopping for a bunch of little things.
The three big men walked until their feet were sore. They really didn't know why women could walk so much in high heels.
"Brother Kai, I'm starting to miss our days in the jungle!" Zhao Lei said.
Jin Kaiyu also nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, Brother Kai. Shopping is more tiring than running in the jungle all day. We won't come along next time you accompany your sister-in-law shopping. You two take care."
"Mhm, mhm, mhm, we'll be taking off then," Zhao Lei said, pulling Jin Kaiyu and running off.
Chu Tian and Gao Kai exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of helplessness and despair.
The two women in front turned back, "Where are Little Pervert and Little Trickster?"
These were nicknames Luo Luo had given to Jian Zhi Cang Tian and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni.
They had gotten to know each other well in the新手村 (newbie village). In fact, they had spent more time in the game than with Chu Tian.
Chu Tian had left the新手村 early, but Luo Luo and the others had stayed there, teaming up to run dungeons.
Before Jian Zhi Cang Tian and the others left the新手村, they would always take her wherever they went.
It was just that when Chu Tian was in the Underworld for a few days, Luo Luo had been at the hospital for care, and hadn't logged in for many consecutive days.
This caused her level to fall behind, creating the gap between them.
However, with one of her forbidden spells, her level had caught up. It was just that she had forgotten to summon her pet at the time.
Otherwise, that little fellow would have leveled up quite a bit too.
Chu Tian and Gao Kai endured a torturous afternoon. In the end, the two women wanted to go watch a movie.
The two big men finally breathed a sigh of relief. The physically strong two were so exhausted from shopping that they were like dead dogs.
During the movie, they even snored and were promptly pinched on the soft flesh of their waists by each woman.
Chu Tian suddenly stood up, "Are we done? Let's go home!"
He then saw Luo Luo's displeased gaze and immediately sobered up, "Uh... well, last night was too tiring, too tiring..."
He couldn't find a good excuse and could only sheepishly stop talking.
By the time the four of them returned to the villa, it was already past ten o'clock. The 天道 (Heavenly Dao) system had been active for over four hours.
After returning to the villa and changing into pajamas, Chu Tian went to Luo Luo's room again.
He pestered her until Luo Luo had to go to the bathroom to clean herself. Only then did he go back to his own room with satisfaction.
After washing up, his hands were still wet. A restless energy simmered within him, but he happily钻进 (drilled into) the gaming pod.
Upon entering the 天道, Chu Tian first checked the leaderboard. Three days had passed, and many players had already reached level twenty-two.
Most players had reached level twenty.
Dao Tian, that old rascal, had said that he had a quest he hadn't completed, which was why he couldn't formally activate the Elf King bloodline.
What quest was it that he hadn't completed? Chu Tian had no clue for the moment.
As soon as he logged in, Jian Zhi Cang Tian sent him a message, "Boss, I heard many guilds are starting to raid the 'Howling Caves'."
"It's fine, let them fail!" Chu Tian replied.
"When will we go?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked.
Chu Tian checked the time, "Besides the six of us, gather another 24 brothers. Meet at the dungeon entrance at midnight."
"We only have five now! We're short one high-healing Priest, which increases the difficulty considerably," Jian Zhi Cang Tian said.
Chu Tian had forgotten that Heng Dao was in his bridal chamber and wouldn't be online today.
"Ding... System prompt: Meng De Bi An has sent a private message."
Meng De Bi An? Chu Tian was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he remembered the little sister he had met in the Crowman camp.
This was a god-tier player from his previous life.
Chu Tian opened the private message—
Meng De Bi An: "Big brother, can your guild take me in? I've joined several guilds, but they all嫌弃 (disdained) me for being too young and wouldn't let me join their dungeons."
Seeing this message, Chu Tian chuckled.
He had originally planned to recruit a bunch of god-tier players. Meng De Bi An was his first target.
However, he had been busy and hadn't realized this idea.
Although he had given Heng Dao and the others a list, it seemed those three brothers were also busy leveling up, farming treasures, and leading their guild members in raids.
They didn't have time to recruit people.
Now, it seemed he needed someone to manage logistics for him.
He and Heng Dao were both frontline combat personnel. Logistics was currently a vacant position.
However, there was no trustworthy candidate at the moment, so he could only take it one step at a time.
"Sure, we're about to raid the 'Howling Caves' and need a high-healing healer. Do you want to come?"
Chu Tian replied with a message. In his previous life, after Meng De Bi An became famous, many people had uncovered her growth story.
She was like a lucky person favored by the Heavenly Dao. Despite being a Druid, a generally considered weak profession, she always managed to acquire good equipment.
In any team, her healing output could even surpass that of Priests of the same level.
Meng De Bi An: "Okay, okay, that's great, I can finally run dungeons."
Chu Tian arranged a meeting place with her, and she soon arrived.
After she joined the guild, Chu Tian sent a message to Jian Zhi Cang Tian, "I've found a healing Druid here. You can still gather twenty-four people."
"Healing Druid? Alright!" Jian Zhi Cang Tian's reply carried a hint of skepticism towards healing Druids.
Chu Tian didn't think so. Meng De Bi An stood beside him, and from her appearance, it was evident she was wearing several golden equipment pieces.
Furthermore, a white radiance emanated from her, indicating she was equipped with a full set of +10 enhanced gear.
This surprised him greatly. To have a full set of +10 enhancements at this stage was astonishing.
If he hadn't possessed the Wishing Box, he wouldn't even guarantee himself a full set of +10 enhanced equipment at this current stage.
The staff held by Rou Rou was a prime example. He had enhanced it countless times, spending over a hundred gold coins.
The final result was only a +5 enhancement.
