Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 158 – There are so many gentlemen at night

The song continued.

"The wind quietly brings a romantic firework of love."

"I scoop up a handful of crystal-clear moonlight, still warm."

"This is a summer love song about us."

"Recording all our happiness with heart."

"We will board a train heading to the distance together."

"To find the horizon where the sea meets the sky, as often mentioned in books..."

***

When Qin Xiaowei finished singing the entire song, Lin Jichen opened his eyes and exclaimed:

"Sister Xiaowei, what's the name of this song?"

Lin Jichen felt like he had never heard this song before, and the previous song "About You" was also something he had never heard in his past life.

"This song is called 'Summer Love Song', do you like it?" Qin Xiaowei replied.

Lin Jichen nodded vigorously: "It's really good, I feel so much better!"

As he spoke, Lin Jichen felt a bit nostalgic and melancholic: "Sister Xiaowei, I'm afraid that once you become famous, I won't be able to hear you sing for me anymore."

Qin Xiaowei smiled gently but replied seriously: "Don't worry, even if I become a big star in the future, as long as you want to hear me sing, I'll sing for you. You are my exclusive audience."

"That's great, it's a deal then, haha." Lin Jichen laughed.

"By the way, Sister Xiaowei, did you go to record a song today?"

Qin Xiaowei nodded, delighted: "Yes, a lot of people have listened to my song on this music platform, and the response has been quite good. The company asked me to record it and is preparing to sign a contract with me."

"Congratulations, it looks like Sister Xiaowei is really going to become a big star." Lin Jichen teased.

Qin Xiaowei blushed: "What big star? I'm just a signed singer, but there's a bit of a problem."

"What problem?"

Qin Xiaowei looked troubled: "The company said that in a while, they want me to go to the Capital City to participate in a music festival with other singers to gain more fans."

"That's a good thing." Lin Jichen said.

"It is a good thing, but if I go to the Capital City, I might have to stay for several days. There will be no one to take care of Tang Tang, and she is about to start school. I can't take her with me, so I was thinking of hiring a nanny." Qin Xiaowei sighed.

"Why hire a nanny? Can you trust a stranger? Don't worry, I'll take care of her. Besides, Tang Tang is familiar with me and should be okay with me taking care of her."

Lin Jichen offered to help, as he genuinely liked the little girl Tang Tang.

"That's not good, you have to work in the game, it will delay your work." Qin Xiaowei shook her head.

"It won't delay anything. I exercise every morning, I can drop Tang Tang off at school while running, and pick her up in the evening. If I can't, there's still Ren Lan. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks at meals, no big deal. It's settled." Lin Jichen decided firmly.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaowei could only gratefully say: "Thank you, Xiao Lin."

"You're welcome, Sister Xiaowei. Just sing me another song." Lin Jichen said with a smile.

"Sure, I can sing ten songs!"

***

The two of them stayed in the park for an hour or two.

After finishing the barbecue and beer, and enjoying the songs, Lin Jichen's mood improved.

He got up to throw away the trash, as if discarding his negative emotions, and turned to head home with Qin Xiaowei.

When they reached the bottom of the apartment building, they had just gone upstairs when they saw Tang Tang in her bear pajamas running down.

The little girl ignored her aunt and ran straight into Lin Jichen's arms.

"Brother Lin!"

Lin Jichen smiled and picked her up, asking: "Tang Tang, why are you downstairs?"

"Tang Tang, why aren't you asleep yet?" Qin Xiaowei asked.

Tang Tang replied: "I saw that Auntie hadn't come back yet, so I was on the balcony watching for you. I just saw you and Brother Lin coming back, so I came down."

As she spoke, Tang Tang sniffed and asked: "Brother Lin, Auntie, did you eat something delicious?"

Lin Jichen and Qin Xiaowei exchanged a glance and laughed. This little girl had a keen nose.

"Xiao Lin, I'll take her back. It's too late, and if she doesn't sleep, she'll wake up late tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Lin Jichen handed Tang Tang over to Qin Xiaowei.

"Goodbye, Brother Lin~" Tang Tang waved at him, her eyes showing a bit of reluctance.

"Goodbye, Tang Tang."

After the two went upstairs, Lin Jichen also returned to his room.

Ren Lan wasn't there, making the room feel a bit empty.

At this moment, Ren Lan sent a message saying she had safely arrived home.

Lin Jichen told her to spend time with her parents and then took a shower before lying in the gaming pod, feeling refreshed.

Before entering the game, he routinely checked the surveillance and browsed the Tale of Immortal forum.

He found that the forum was buzzing with discussions about the recent plot opportunity.

Players from the other three provinces were complaining on the forum, saying that the plot opportunity was too difficult and practically impossible to complete.

They had all tried to eliminate small sects with strength almost identical to the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. After defeating the elders, they were stuck.

Two Later Stage Crystal Formation elders and an early-Golden Elixir sect leader were unbeatable, and they were all counter-killed.

Only the players from Mu Xian Province were smug, saying their plot opportunity was very easy and mocking the players from the other three provinces as noobs.

Then, a player who had witnessed everything at the Ten Thousand Poison Sect's mountain peak posted a recorded video, and they realized how lucky they were to be in the same province as Lin Jichen.

If Lin Jichen hadn't soloed the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, their outcome would have been a definite failure.

In other words, the 500 reputation points and 100 battle merits were gifts from Lin Jichen.

For a while, players from Mu Xian Province flooded the forum with thank-you posts, expressing their gratitude to Lin Jichen for carrying them to victory.

However, the Blood Fiend Guild openly led the opposition. Not only did they continuously insult Lin Jichen on the forum, but they also adamantly claimed that Lin Jichen must have been cheating.

Li Fengwen even cursed Lin Jichen with a dozen profanities on the forum and vowed to make Lin Jichen disappear from Tale of Immortal forever!

Seeing these posts, Lin Jichen directly used his main account ID to comment below.

"President Li, how's the prison food? No creepy uncles bothering you in the game prison, right?"

This one sentence should warm his heart for the whole day.

After doing this 'good deed,' Lin Jichen contentedly exited the forum and entered the game.

Still in Fengqu City, he walked out from the back door of the equipment shop. He had logged out in a hurry earlier, so he had to go offline in his shop's backyard.

The shop was already closed, and it was late at night. Many shops in Fengqu City had already shut down, and there weren't many people in the city center.

But when Lin Jichen walked to the Shenbao Pharmacy, he was shocked. The entrance of Autumn Moon Pavilion was bustling with people, filled with guests.

Most of them were players.

The queue even stretched to the end of the street.

Some players even bought medicine from his pharmacy and immediately went to line up.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jichen couldn't help but sigh. There were so many gentlemen at night.

However, the high-class brothel industry in the game was destined to be a hit.

Who could imagine that they could patronize a brothel in the game, without worrying about diseases, without fear of being caught, and still experience pleasure almost indistinguishable from reality?

Which gentleman could resist such a good thing?
