65 -65: Get on, Little Girl; Chubby Chiu Levels Up
“Oh, got in a fight,” Gu Zhiqi replied lazily and indifferently, seemingly a bit perfunctory.
After speaking, she turned her head and looked around, but after scanning the area, not a single bicycle could be seen.
Having heard Gu Zhiqi’s answer, Su Yunling’s grip on her handkerchief tightened slightly, “Did you fight with an ancient martial artist?”
“Mhm,” Gu Zhiqi murmured gently in response.
After responding, she looked up at Su Yunling, “Is there anything else?
Hearing Gu Zhiqi admit to fighting with an ancient martial artist, a fleeting deepness flashed through Su Yunling’s peach blossom eyes.
She slightly lowered her gaze and looked directly into Gu Zhiqi’s eyes, “Where are you going?
I’ll give you a ride.”
Gu Zhiqi was a head shorter than Su Yunling.
For them to make eye contact, one had to lower her gaze and dip her head slightly, while the other had to look up a bit.
As they gazed at each other, their eyes met and lingered, neither of them shifting their gaze.
After a long while, Su Yunling was the first to break the stare, diverting her gaze from Gu Zhiqi, “It’s late, not easy to hail a cab.”
A girl’s gaze is not something one should hold for too long.
If one did, they might find themselves unwittingly drowning and sinking in it.
“Zhizhi, agree to it, just agree, even if we don’t get close, we can still subtly share some of his destiny,” Chubby Chiu pleaded in her mind.
“Thank you,” Gu Zhiqi told Su Yunling, expressing her gratitude.
Upon hearing these words, Su Yunling knew the girl had agreed and turned to re-open the car door that had just been closed not long ago, “Get in, little girl.”
Gu Zhiqi bent down and slid straight into the car.
Immediately after, Su Yunling also got into the car.
Once they were both in the car, Su Yunling slightly turned and looked at Gu Zhiqi, “Where to?”
After listening, Gu Zhiqi suddenly went silent.
She had been so focused on leaving that she hadn’t thought about where to go yet.
“Haven’t decided?” Su Yunling guessed by looking at Gu Zhiqi’s expression.
“Mhm,” Gu Zhiqi hummed softly.
“Is Shengyuan Hotel okay?” Su Yunling suggested.
“Thank you,” Gu Zhiqi said distantly yet politely as she thanked her again.
“No need for thanks,” Su Yunling said with a light chuckle, then looked towards the driver, “Back to Shengyuan Hotel.”
She had been planning to rest when suddenly a message came from the Ancient Martial Arts Administration, reporting that powerful ancient martial artists had been detected making moves near Shengxing Hotel.
They were worried they couldn’t handle it, so they called him.
Having nothing better to do, he decided to check it out.
Unexpectedly, he ran into this little girl.
From what the little girl implied, she must have gotten into a fight with another ancient martial artist.
Since one of the parties involved was found, there was no need for him to continue searching.
Thinking of something, Su Yunling took out his phone and sent a message back to the Ancient Martial Arts Administration.
Gu Zhiqi leaned back in the back seat lazily, glancing out at the landscape receding outside the window.
“Zhizhi~, the Yin Family wants to upgrade,” came Chubby Chiu’s hesitant and coquettish voice in her mind.
“No money,” Gu Zhiqi responded coldly and mercilessly.
“So, that means love will vanish, right?”
The childish voice instantly turned into a mournful whimper.
Gu Zhiqi raised her hand and pressed her forehead, suddenly regretting fixing this crybaby.
Cursing silently about this unprofitable venture, she gritted her teeth and said reluctantly, “Upgrade!”
“Thank you, Zhizhi, Zhizhi kiss~”
And then, happily, it went off to clear Gu Zhiqi’s balance.
As an Intelligent Spirit Pet, this creature required two conditions for every upgrade.
First, spending money.
Second, completing random triggered tasks.
To reach First Level, awakening was sufficient; for repair, it needed 9 million without any triggered tasks.
At Level One Status, Chubby Chiu’s functions roughly included: an encyclopedia and a top-level hacker.
Currently, Chubby Chiu was at Level One Status.
To upgrade to Level Two, she first needed to spend 90 million.
Once the spending was complete, it would enter the task triggering phase.
