Chapter 178: Chapter 178 – A Date Invitation?
Lily's friend's reply arried just a few seconds after she sent the message.
[Ferin: What is it? What is it? Our little Lily contacted me first. How rare.]
[Lily: I don't have anyone else to ask. I feel strange whenever I think about my friend. It's warm inside. What is this? Do you know something?]
[Ferin: Warm feeling? Ah, so a flower has bloomed for our cute Lily's heart. Hehehe, congratulations.]
Reading the message, Lily raised her eyebrows.
"Flower?" She muttered.
[Lily: What do you mean by flower?]
[Ferin: How precious. Well, how about we meet this weekend? I have time off from my job and the game. Let's talk about it there! Also, bring that friend you talk about. Hehehe, At said he is curious about this too.]
It was a sudden invitation. But Lily had no reason to refuse. She had not met with her friend for a long time already because she was busy. Not only that, they lived in a different city. She was in the New Eden City while she was in the Lime City. The only problem was about Max.
'Maybe he's free? I will ask him later.'
[Lily: I will ask him. So this Saturday at the usual place?]
[Ferin: Yes! See you there!]
In the end, her question was left unanswered. She clicked Max's name and hesitated before inviting him.
"How should I invite him?"
She hummed, a bit troubled. Then, she remembered her friend's words in the past. To invite a friend of the opposite sex, there was one sentence that would always work.
"Un, let's try it."
After deciding, she typed in her virtual keyboard and sent it without hesitation.
[Lily: Let's have a date in New Eden City on Saturday.]
She was pretty satisfied with that message and smiled. Now, she only had to wait.
***
After returning from the party, which turned into his public humiliation after Evelyn caught him, Max decided to relax in the café. He finally would return to Lime City tomorrow after being in another city for two days.
Before that, he'd like to punch Flexy's face at least once for running away without him. He should've brought him out of the party venue if he noticed Evelyn tried to do something bad.
Instead, Flexy didn't say anything and left. Also, his friend sent a message after the embarrassing short video was posted on his Strike account.
[Flexy: Meow~ You look good myaw~]
A vein popped up on Max's forehead when he read that message while sitting in the hotel café.
'How dare this bastard make fun of me?'
No matter how indebted he was to Flexy, there was still a limit to his patience.
[Breeze: Shut up, wan. I have downloaded it and will ask my editor to put your face in a dog's body.] Latest updates from m _vlempyr.
[Flexy: How dare you!]
[Breeze: Heh, I dare! You freaking left me alone, knowing that Evelyn is coming for blood!]
[Flexy: That was Lisa's fault. She dragged me away, saying that I shouldn't get close to trouble!]
[Breeze: Yeah, yeah. It's Lisa's fault, alright. I took a screenshot of this chat already and sent it to her.]
[Flexy: Huh? No, please don't. I will die. Buddy, you won't send it to her, right? Look, I deleted it. I will make up for you, okay?]
[Breeze: Did you say something?]
After sending that message, Max smirked and didn't reply anymore. The orange-haired streamer still replied, spamming 'please don't send it' many times. He ignored it while laughing internally.
'Get rekt by your own girlfriend, motherfucker. How dare you show off in front of me on top of making me bait for Evelyn.'
He mentioned that he was glad to be single, but that was not his fully honest opinion. As a man, he still wanted to have a cute and loving girlfriend. It was just an instinct. He would prefer someone who understood his activity and didn't bother him with his streaming work.
'A girl like that is rare.'
Flexy's spamming had stopped after he ignored him for quite some time. No noise bothered him now, and he could enjoy his iced cocoa in peace while messaging his editor.
[Breeze: [AttachedVideo.mp4] [AttachedVideo2.mp4] [AttachedVideo3.mp4] [AttachedFile.txt] I got the stuff you need. I am counting on you to edit it while following the script, Sucker.]
Those were the parkour videos Max took in Tag House yesterday. Director Hugo also unexpectedly sent footage of him doing parkour in his rest hour, which was taken by one of his cameramen. He didn't know about it but was still grateful for it.
[BloodSucker: Finally. And you also prepared the script? I will try to see what I can do with it. I might change a few things if it looks bad or absurd.]
The reply came faster than what Max had expected.
'Does this guy have no life?' He thought. 'Well, probably.'
Max had no problem with changing the script slightly. He needed it to be as good as possible, and he believed BloodSucker had the ability to do that.
'I need to finish my two quests. My hope rests on you, sucker.'
[Breeze: As long as it keeps the original and the main theme, then it won't be a problem. Please make it the best. I want it to have more likes than the official ad video. I can give you a bonus if I am satisfied with it.]
[BloodSucker: You're asking for a tall order.]
[Breeze: Don't say that. You always gave me a tall order in the stream mission too, and I finished them all. I am counting on you.]
[BloodSucker: This and that are different! But I guess I can try. Don't blame me if the script is changed by more than 50%]
[Breeze: Fine by me.]
With this, everything he needed to do today was finished. He could continue his Midnight Heist grind while streaming, or so was his plan before he remembered Nina's advice not to push himself.
'Hahaha, I don't want to get sick anymore. I guess I would just rest.'
Max gulped his drink in one go and exited the café to return to his room. He used the elevator and pressed the floor to his room.
The elevator was moving fast. Reaching the floor where his room was would only take a few seconds.
However, it suddenly felt a lot longer after he got a certain message.
Ding!
Curious of who messaged him, Max opened it and suddenly froze.
[Lily: Let's have a date in New Eden City on Saturday.]
"Hah?" A stupid voice escaped his lips.
