Chapter 275: I Will Always Love the 8-Foot-Tall Person!
Li Zheng guessed it right, what Xiao Siyuan sent was indeed a special room invitation.
But it's not a raid on the dungeon, just a normal invitation.
Because this time it was Old Xiao himself who found the dungeon room.
The management transfer task requires taking four players ranked outside the top hundred to clear the dungeon for it to count, but Xiao Siyuan is already ranked above a hundred, so that task will have to wait.
Reply to Xiao Siyuan to let him know that he can invite, and I can reach anytime.
A teleportation gate appeared above the magma, and Li Zheng dove in with Xiao Sakura.
Arriving at the room where Xiao Siyuan was, only he and Lin Fengjiao were there.
Xiao Siyuan saw Li Zheng and laughed, "What's with your look? Quite distinctive, huh?"
Lin Fengjiao also chuckled when she saw the air purifier tied to his face, and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Li, good morning."
Leaving the room with the volcanic eruption, naturally, there's no need to continue wearing the air purifier, so Li Zheng raised his hand to take it off, "Don't mention it, I was just battling wits and courage with some bugs earlier, almost suffocated me."
Speaking of which, he described the process of catching Hot Worms just now.
After listening, Xiao Siyuan was utterly amused, "Even a high-level player like you has had a rough time in this room, those Silver Level Hot Worms died worthy, you know they were up against Li the Knight who doesn't even flinch at Diamond Level creatures."
"Don't call me a Knight," Li Zheng replied humbly, "Just call me Handsome."
"Handsome? You?" Xiao Siyuan disdained the shameless one, "I remember back then..."
"Ahem!" Lin Fengjiao coughed lightly, old Xiao realized something and obediently shut up.
"Huh?" Li Zheng was surprised, "What's the situation between you two?"
The priorities have shifted!
"No, no, don't misunderstand," Lin Fengjiao hurriedly explained, "I was just reminding Doctor Xiao not to bring up the girlfriend matter."
Her explanation made Li Zheng even more astonished.
What identity would prompt a reminder to a man not to bring up girlfriend matters?
Seeing the increasingly strange expression on Li Zheng's face, Xiao Siyuan also spoke, "Don't get it wrong... I'll tell the truth, actually the twelve ex-girlfriends I mentioned before... they were all paper people."
"Paper people?" Li Zheng's expression became even more weird, just in another direction.
He asked, "Old Xiao, you should be in your thirties now, right?"
"Yes..." Xiao Siyuan's face turned crimson.
At his age, still liking anime, and this hobby being exposed, made him feel a strange sense of shame.
"Tsk tsk tsk... didn't expect that, old Xiao with your black head and face, you're actually into the second dimension." Li Zheng shook his head continuously, half mockingly and half sentimentally.
"What's wrong with liking anime at my age?" Xiao Siyuan, embarrassed and angry, argued, "Zheng Yuanjie is well into his thirties and still writes fairy tales, we call this... young at heart!"
"It's 'Men are boys at heart...'" Lin Fengjiao softly corrected.
"That's what I mean."
"Oh."
"No!" Xiao Siyuan suddenly realized and shouted at Li Zheng, "What did you just say? My black head and face? Damn, whose fault do you think that is? And my skin color has already faded a lot, alright?"
Li Zheng was awkward now, rarely catching old Xiao's sore spot, accidentally slipped it out, which triggered old Xiao's grievance.
Don't mention old Xiao couldn't bear that complexion, even Li Zheng, upon knowing the side effects, more than once felt lucky that he hadn't eaten that fruit.
Otherwise, becoming a Negro color, he'd feel like dying.
"That's all unimportant, let's talk about the anime you usually watch." Li Zheng scratched at his cheek, changing the topic, "Demon High School? Holy Mark Alchemist? The Healing Mage's Re-Life? Dark Bible? Convenience Store? Guest Bathroom? Sister's Bride?"
"Sister's Bride? Is that an anime?"
"Oh, that's an author from another site, got axed."
"I haven't watched any of the ones you mentioned, I only watch proper anime!" Xiao Siyuan nearly held a copy of the Spring and Autumn Annals in his hand.
"Oh~~~" Li Zheng prolonged his tone, with the look like a man who understands, "Only proper ones, huh!? Then I suggest you read novels instead, other site's novels are pretty good, when I go back, I'll publish the experiences here into a novel up there, remember to support me then."
"You'll get cursed to death." Xiao Siyuan said.
"Cursing me?" Li Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Then I'll use the internet cable to find and chop a few trolls."
"Remember to contact me first when you chop trolls."
"Why? You want to watch?"
"You misunderstood, I mean I'll visit you once you're in."
"How could I... damn, you plan to report me!" Li Zheng realized, a harmonious society saved many trolls.
...
The three of them chatted on and off for almost ten minutes, still no sign of anyone else coming.
Li Zheng asked, "Who else did you invite? Why are they taking so long?"
"Originally invited Zhan Zhouzhou and Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan said she's too tired, she needs to catch up on her beauty sleep later, so replaced her with Lu Li." Xiao Siyuan glanced at his private message, "Should be arriving soon."
Before the words were finished, a figure appeared again at the teleportation gate.
Zhan Zhouzhou came through the teleportation gate, with large stains of fresh blood on her clothes, complimenting her lovely face, giving a sense of eerie beauty.
Upon arriving here, Zhan Zhouzhou just nodded lightly to the few people, then sat cross-legged aside, took out a bottle of purple potion and drank it.
[Physical Recovery Potion
Tier: Gold
Type: Medical Equipment
Effect: Stimulate cellular vitality, rapidly recover physical strength, no side effects.
Description: Tired, sleepy, drink a physical recovery potion!]
Using a potion to recover physical strength, it seems Zhan Zhouzhou had just been through a tough battle.
Li Zheng glanced frequently, with this girl's character, she probably picked the toughest room for a challenge.
None of them disturbed Zhan Zhouzhou, letting her quietly recover during the short time.
Soon, Lu Li also arrived through the teleportation gate.
"Sorry for keeping you all waiting, I ran into a small accident."
His condition was much worse than Zhan Zhouzhou, right hand holding a sniper rifle on his shoulder, left arm dangling weakly, unclear whether it was fractured or dislocated.
Xiao Siyuan went over to check, grabbed that arm with both hands front and back, "Luckily, it's just a dislocation, not a big problem."
"Bear with it... Snap... endure."
Before finishing the three words, while Lu Li wasn't paying attention, Xiao Siyuan exerted force with both hands, and the dislocated arm was already restored.
Xiao Siyuan's healing method was always straightforward and brutal, but exceptionally effective.
The side effect was that the patient often experienced a slightly more intense pain.
Lu Li's face twitched with pain, "I knew you'd definitely exert force suddenly, so I was always on guard, but the pain actually became more sensitive."
"You're on the second level, but I'm on the fifth level," Xiao Siyuan said cryptically, and yet Lu Li understood.
"Damn, you knew I knew you would exert force suddenly, so you did it on purpose?" Lu Li's face went green.
"Habitual pain, feeling pain, that's our capital to become stronger here." Xiao Siyuan patted Lu Li's shoulder.
Just then, Zhan Zhouzhou's physical recovery was almost done, she stood up, "I'm good, let's go."
Li Zheng looked at her carefully, "Don't you want to rest a bit more?"
Zhan Zhouzhou shook her head, "No need, what's left can't be recovered with rest."
"Don't force yourself too much, if it doesn't work then go back and rest for a day or two." Li Zheng advised.
"Alright." Knowing Zhan Zhouzhou's strong will, in this special period, no matter how others persuade it won't work, Li Zheng could only say to everyone, "This time in the dungeon, I and Xiao Sakura will take the lead, Zhan Zhouzhou will protect the rear, everyone try to cooperate with each other."
"Okay." Everyone responded.
Li Zheng's conversation with Zhan Zhouzhou wasn't hidden from them, they got a general idea from the dialogue.
"Let's go, old Xiao go and open the dungeon." Li Zheng said, looking back at Zhan Zhouzhou.
This girl was on her period, and even had severe dysmenorrhea, yet she insisted on continuing the exploration.
