Chapter 1252 - 1250: The First Night in Yin City

Chapter 1252: Chapter 1250: The First Night in Yin City

Gu Xi paused for a moment when he heard this, but in the end, he nodded.

In the real world, Orange Armor is actually not that rare.

As long as one doesn’t have Red Armor in hand, it generally doesn’t attract much attention.

"It’s that lantern-like thing in your hand, right? Although it looks unremarkable, I can sense that it has the same aura as the Six Paths Disc behind Netherworld Academy."

Tang Shuang immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp.

As for the Fox Eye Ring, since the ring itself doesn’t reveal itself, and Tang Shuang didn’t believe Gu Xi would have more than two pieces of Orange Armor, she didn’t guess in that direction.

"It seems you come from a prominent family.

Only these prominent families would arrange for their children to have Orange Armor as soon as they take on a profession, and they are usually auxiliary items like secondary weapons or accessories, ensuring they can equip a large number of Purple Armor without leaving negative effects."

"You have no idea how much trouble I went through to clear the negative effects left by my Purple Armor."

Gu Xi really wanted to explain that he wasn’t from a prominent family.

But when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know how to start.

After all, his current situation truly fits that of a child from a prominent family.

He hasn’t been in the game for many years, yet he has Orange Armor.

Following a pre-set path, with guidance from powerful figures.

It’s something ordinary people can’t compare to.

"No, all of this is earned through my own efforts; rather, it’s you who might have Orange Armor."

"Yes, I have a piece of Orange Armor. If not, I wouldn’t have had the courage to spend so much time getting into Netherworld University.

As for what my Orange Armor is, I won’t say. Either you guess it yourself or find it yourself."

With that, Tang Shuang deliberately flopped backward, collapsing on the sofa.

Her legs shot straight up, seemingly challenging Gu Xi.

Faced with someone who consistently loses battles in front of him, Gu Xi isn’t afraid at all.

After all, during the two days on the train, Gu Xi hadn’t lost once.

So Gu Xi stood up, ready to walk towards Tang Shuang, when Tang Xiaoxiao floated over.

"Miss, guest, the meal is ready."

Gu Xi glanced at Tang Shuang and found her eyes full of disinterest.

Seizing the moment, Gu Xi caught the key, "Thank you, I’m just in time as I’m hungry. I’m curious about what you have to eat here."

"I didn’t know what the guest avoids, so I prepared some relatively light food, though all the ingredients are fresh.

Most of the ingredients come from the Yinfeng Forest, where they are raised wild."

Tang Xiaoxiao introduced to Gu Xi.

Being in the Yin City for the first time, upon hearing this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but glance at Tang Shuang.

"Oh, that’s the forest near Yin City, which is also the source of food for the city. The creatures there are wild, absorbing ample Yin Qi, making the meat quality one of the better types of ingredients.

The most important thing is that Yinfeng Forest is relatively close to Yin City.

So when the ingredients are brought over, they tend to be relatively fresh.

As students like us, we can buy some to avoid eating unknown zombie meat every day."

"I really have to try it then."

Gu Xi perked up with interest upon hearing this.

After all, Gu Xi had been suffering from the food in Yalidu City for too long.

Now he wants to learn what real Undead Mage food is like.

Since entering Yin City, Gu Xi could distinctly feel the overwhelming presence of Yin Qi.

The Yin Qi here is almost on par with Undead City.

The creatures that can be produced here should also be able to be farmed in Yalidu City.

Gu Xi has already decided that if the food this time is good, when free time comes, he’ll check if he can buy some seeds to raise himself.

Even if he can’t supply the entire city, providing for himself is still beneficial.

But when Gu Xi sat down, his expression turned a bit odd.

Tang Xiaoxiao’s food was indeed light.

But the materials weren’t exactly reasonable.

A large bowl of soup was placed in the middle of the dining table.

The rest couldn’t be discerned, but the only thing Gu Xi could see was a large number of eyeballs in the soup.

Can you imagine making eyeballs into something the color of bitter melon soup and calling it light?

And these green vegetables, I can understand eating some greens, but what’s poured over them is blood, right?

No, that blood-like thing actually seems more like oil.

The steamed fish only had bones, and the stir-fried meat slices looked more like innards; upon closer inspection, you might feel it’s kidneys being stir-fried instead of meat slices.

Lastly, Tang Xiaoxiao also served some drinks.

The large three-pound water bottle was clearly filled with many long, stringy things.

At this time, Tang Shuang also walked over. Upon seeing the situation, she could not help but glare at Tang Xiaoxiao.

Then she smiled at Gu Xi and said, "Junior Brother, don’t mind, Xiaoxiao hasn’t seen me bring a male classmate back for a long time, so she thought there might be something going on between us.

But all these are good things, especially this fish, which is Bone Fish.

To raise it from a complete fish to this level.

Where only the bones remain, yet it’s still alive; only then can it be offered for sale.

It seems Xiaoxiao hasn’t been idle these days; you should know Bone Fish isn’t easy to come by."

Gu Xi chuckled and sat down at the table.

Before, Gu Xi had some expectations because the ingredients were said to be fresh.

Now it seems Yin City is not much different from Bailian City.

Gu Xi hadn’t thought through the logic here.

After all, with the overwhelming death aura in Yin City, the ingredients raised here couldn’t possibly look normal.

Though the food before him is claimed to be light, it seems misaligned with that claim.

Gu Xi looked up at Tang Shuang, noticing her slightly unnatural expression as she explained.

It’s quite clear that Tang Xiaoxiao sensed Tang Shuang’s thoughts and cooperatively played along with her.

This is the tacit understanding between an Undead Mage player and their Contracted Undead.

This requires no language, not even eye contact for communication.

As long as the Contracted Undead senses it, they will help their master accomplish everything.

Sitting across from Gu Xi, Tang Shuang glanced at the food on the table.

"Since it’s already made, Junior Brother Gu, you might as well eat some.

I’ll accompany you to enroll tomorrow.

Consider this meal as Junior Brother keeping me company for a simple meal."

Gu Xi looked at the food on the table, then at Tang Shuang’s face, now slightly flushed.

"Alright, it’s just a meal, after all. Since Xiaoxiao has prepared it, it would be a waste not to eat it."

Mm-hmm.

Before Tang Shuang could say anything, Tang Xiaoxiao floated over, quickly pouring wine and serving dishes for Gu Xi, placing various kidneys into Gu Xi’s bowl.
