Chapter 262: I’ll be happy as soon as I hit you
“Yeah, hitting you makes me happy,” Su Yinhe said with a smile.
Lin Murong pointed at her, trembling with anger, unable to speak.
“That’s too much,” Lin Murong finally managed to say after struggling for a while.
“Yes, I’m too much, I really am,” Su Yinhe still smiled.
Lin Murong clutched his chest, gasping with anger.
“I’m not playing with you anymore.” Playing with Galaxy could be infuriating.
“Suit yourself. If you don’t play with me, you won’t get any food,” Su Yinhe still smiled, but her words made Lin Murong stop mid-step.
Lin Murong reluctantly turned back around.
“Galaxy, hehehe… I was just joking. I love to play, especially with you,” Lin Murong said with a grin.
“Mhmm, okay, off you go.” She was blocking his view of Chi Yan.
“Oh.” Lin Murong looked pitifully wronged.
At Goldfish Base, nobody initially noticed that their leader had gone missing.
After all, their leader was a salted fish, always slacking off.
Thus, nobody realized that someone had carried their leader away.
It wasn’t until their leader returned that they realized he had been gone for quite a while.
Fortunately, the leader didn’t say much. Or rather, he didn’t seem to remember at all.
Upon returning, the first thing he did was to tell them about a big supermarket outside, full of supplies which they could exchange for Crystal Cores.
“Crystal Cores? But we don’t have any Crystal Cores,” they lamented. Ever since they had fallen, they had barely gone up again, surviving on mutated mushrooms growing inside their cave instead.
Going up to kill zombies, digging for Crystal Cores, and enhancing their superpowers were all for the sake of finding food to survive.
Since they already had mushrooms and could survive on them, there was no need to go up and kill zombies anymore.
Naturally, they didn’t have any Crystal Cores.
“So let’s go up and kill some zombies and dig up some Crystal Cores. You have no idea how abundant those supplies are—instant noodles, braised eggs, spicy strips, luncheon meat, chips, egg tarts, cakes…” Speaking of which, the leader was drooling already.
“Alright, boss, no need to say more. We’ll go,” the rest said, about to drool themselves.
After living in the cave, they didn’t have to worry about starving to death.
After all, mutated mushrooms grew fast and plentiful there.
But eating mushrooms every day—fried mushrooms, grilled mushrooms, sautéed mushrooms, boiled mushrooms…
Having eaten them so often, they were practically turning into mushrooms themselves.
Naturally, they craved something different.
Previously, when they couldn’t, they knew that desiring something different was nearly impossible.
Everyone agreed with the leader’s suggestion, and they made their way to the supermarket in high spirits.
First, they checked the supplies the leader mentioned, which were indeed plentiful as described.
Then they got all fired up and went off to kill zombies and dig for Crystal Cores.
The leader naturally fell into his usual role of being a salted fish, lazing around in the supermarket.
About that, no one had any complaints.
There was no helping it, they had long known about their leader being a salted fish.
And to some extent, they had all tacitly abetted it.
So, they continued killing zombies while the leader lay comfortably in the supermarket.
More comfortably than Su Yinhe, even.
Su Yinhe felt a bit jealous.
“With you acting , won’t your subordinates rebel?” Su Yinhe asked him.
“Rebel? Why would they rebel?” the leader asked, puzzled, “Do they want to be the leader? But being the leader, apart from being respectfully called ‘boss’, doesn’t seem to have any other benefits, does it?”
Su Yinhe: “Alright, the type of boss you were isn’t what I had in mind.”
She had misunderstood.
“Just keep lying there then.” At first, she thought he was faking it, but who would have guessed? He was genuinely a salted fish.
“OK.” The boss amiably complied and continued lying down.
He even held several packs of konjac and spicy strips.
He didn’t mind the hard floor at all.
“Really, way too salted fish.” Lin Murong commented.
He had just gone to emo for a bit and now he was fully resurrected.
“Is being a salted fish so bad? Salted fish are great, no need to move, don’t get tired, and won’t starve.” The boss said leisurely.
“If only I could keep lying down forever.” The boss sincerely sighed.
“Then I wish you success. Hope the people at your base are capable enough so you can keep lying down.” Although he had some complaints about this salted fish, Lin Murong still blessed him.
“Thank you, thank you so much. I believe in them, they aren’t salted fish, but they will let this salted fish keep lying down.” The boss trusted his base members deeply.
He knew that the people at his base were not simple; they were very capable.
The people from Goldfish Base indeed did not disappoint their boss.
Some of them turned into headshot machines, others into Crystal Core digging machines, in just one day, they had gathered a mountain of Crystal Cores.
They exchanged it for lots and lots of supplies.
Most were staples, and a small part were the snacks the boss had listed for them.
The boss was almost moved to tears.
“You guys are really my good brothers.” The boss shouted, then lunged forward.
They looked at him, smiling indulgently.
Why does it feel so strange?
“I’m a bit scared,” Lin Murong rubbed his goosebumped arms and said.
“Me too,” Su Yinhe also rubbed the goosebumps on her body.
“It’s weirdly strange, and they indulge him quite a bit.”
“Fools have foolish luck, salted fish must have salted fish’s fortune,” commented Su Yinhe.
Turning the boss into this, she was impressed too.
“Maybe. It’s too easy; I feel like finding some work for him.” Lin Murong was a bit jealous.
How could one be a salted fish so thoroughly?
“Then go on, don’t just talk the talk,” Su Yinhe pushed him.
Lin Murong looked at the people who had come from Goldfish Base, gauged the situation, then resolutely shook his head.
“No, no, no, let’s forget it.” With so many people, although not unbeatable, he would get tired.
“Humph. Just keep talking big,” Su Yinhe slapped him playfully.
“What’s wrong with me talking big? I just will talk big, I love talking big. You gonna hit me?” Lin Murong puffed up his proud little chest.
Su Yinhe: “…alright, alright, I’ll indulge you.”
Su Yinhe chased Lin Murong and started hitting him.
It was the first time she saw someone with such a request, it must be indulged.
“Ow, ow, ow! Ow! Yinhe, go easy on me.” Lin Murong cried out as he was being hit.
“I can’t take it anymore, I take back what I said, I won’t talk big anymore.” Lin Murong ran and ran, couldn’t outrun, kept running and getting hit.
Now, he was just full of regret.
“Words spoken, water thrown. Regret now? Too late.” Su Yinhe didn’t stop, continued hitting him.
It was always necessary to let him know, talking big wasn’t allowed.
