Chapter 233: Slow like a turtle

“Bro, where are you from, what’s your superpower–you must be really powerful,” Murong reached out and grabbed the man’s hand.

The man: “…”

Very slowly, the man withdrew his hand.

“Bro, what’s the matter? You don’t like being touched, huh? Bro, don’t be so shy,” Lin Murong grasped it again.

He wanted to see whose movements were faster, his or the man’s.

This time, the man didn’t slowly pull away his hand; instead, he withdrew it with an extremely fast speed.

“Wow,” Lin Murong exclaimed, “So you’re not a koala. I thought you did everything slowly.”

Zhong Qi: “…”

“I… didn’t.”

“Just now…”

Zhong Qi put his hand on his body, his face cold and indifferent.

“Just now it hadn’t finished loading, so my reaction was a bit slow.” He spoke with a serious face, and they almost believed him.

Su Yinhe: “…”

This customer seemed a little bit off in the head.

Lin Murong: “…”

Things were getting more and more interesting.

“Ahem, ahem, so may I ask you…”

“Don’t talk to me, I don’t want to talk to you,” Zhong Qi didn’t want to talk to him.

Zhong Qi felt that Lin Murong was not quite right in the head.

If he talked with Lin Murong too much, what if his own mind became abnormal?

After speaking, Zhong Qi glanced at the price list, exchanged his Crystal Core for money, and then walked in leisurely.

He behaved very calmly and composed, not seeming like it was his first time here.

Lin Murong: “???”

“Why is he walking around like he owns the place?” Lin Murong found it very strange.

“Good temperament, huh?” Even though his clothes are ragged, the way he digs out Crystal Cores is very cool; you can tell he’s a person of good taste.

“Galaxy, what are you talking about? Where does he get his good temperament from?” Lin Murong was dissatisfied.

“He just has a good temperament,” Digging out Crystal Cores with such a cool gesture, she really liked it.

If only every customer who dug out high-level crystal cores had such a cool pose.

“You just like Crystal Cores, it’s just a Crystal Core, and I have them too. Here, they’re all yours.” Lin Murong dumped all the Crystal Cores he had collected for her.

A small mountain of them.

Su Yinhe was shocked.

“Did you go out and rob someone?” So many.

“How could that be? I killed the Zombies myself and dug out the Crystal Cores with my own hands,” Lin Murong said, and then picked up the pink shovel he had set aside earlier.

After picking it up, he even waved it around.

Su Yinhe: “…”

“Alright, alright, go wash it first.” It was dirty, with an unidentified liquid on it.

Su Yinhe wasn’t a germaphobe, but she was about to become one.

She felt somewhat disgusted.

“Sure, I’ll wash it right away,” Lin Murong said, and began to pack it up. As he was walking, he realized something was wrong. He had gathered all these Crystal Cores, but what for?

He wanted to buy himself some snacks.

How did he end up giving away the Crystal Cores to Galaxy for free?

And all of them, too.

Suddenly, he felt reluctant to part with them.

Lin Murong stood there stupidly, no longer wanting to wash them.

Then Fangfang saw this and slapped him on the head.

Lin Murong: “??? Are you rushing me? We’re friends, you said I was your best friend. Why are you helping Galaxy and not me now?”

How unfair.

Fangfang looked down on him.

Of course, it sided with the boss.

After learning Fangfang’s thoughts, Lin Murong felt hurt and sad.

While washing the Crystal Cores, he complained.

He complained about Su Yinhe and Fangfang.

Then Chi Yan heard him.

And then he got beat up.

Lin Murong slowly gave the middle finger.

It was too much.

He wanted to kill someone now.

Too much.

Lin Murong, filled with resentment, washed the Crystal Cores and brought them to Su Yinhe with a woeful expression on his face.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yinhe, feeling quite happy as she touched the clean-washed Crystal Cores and saw Lin Murong’s expression, asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.” Just got hit a little.

He was confident he would one day fight his way back.

Hmph.

He would go out tonight, wielding his shovel to take down a couple more zombies.

Enhance his superpower, defeat Chi Yan as soon as possible.

Lin Murong was brimming with confidence.

But as full as his confidence was, reality was just as brutal.

After practicing hard for many days, he still couldn’t beat Chi Yan.

That story is for later; let’s get back to Zhong Qi.

Zhong Qi casually took out a high-level Crystal Core, then went in to make his purchase.

Then he bought a box of instant noodles, a sausage, and a bottle of cola.

And just like that, he came out.

“You… don’t want to take more? Our supermarket doesn’t give change.”

“No need, I don’t lack Crystal Cores. Do you have hot water? I’d like to make some instant noodles.” Zhong Qi calmly took out a few more high-level Crystal Cores.

Su Yinhe poured him some hot water, her gaze toward him had changed.

Lin Murong’s look at him had changed too.

Big shot, huh.

Big shot, huh.

Lin Murong could take out a high-level Crystal Core too, but he couldn’t be as wasteful as Zhong Qi.

If he exchanged it for money, he would certainly spend it all.

Not like Zhong Qi, who just didn’t want it.

Zhong Qi made his instant noodles and started eating right there in the supermarket; Lin Murong, seeing him standing awkwardly, even moved a stool over for him.

After Zhong Qi sat down, he began slurping his noodles, savoring every bite.

Watching him, Lin Murong started to feel hungry too.

Then he rushed into the supermarket and grabbed a tub of instant noodles.

Began slurping away.

Su Yinhe: “…”

So this is how she dies, huh.

Taking things from her supermarket without paying.

Lin Murong’s Crystal Cores he had given her, she chose to have forgotten.

That was a gift, not a purchase.

Damn.

She was getting a bit hungry too.

Want to eat? Just eat, she’s the boss, she’s the boss.

Su Yinhe also opened up a tub of noodles, adding a sausage and a braised egg, the epitome of luxury.

Three of them, lined up, eating instant noodles.

Among them, Lin Murong was the most pitiful because all he had was instant noodles.

Zhong Qi’s noodles included a sausage, Su Yinhe’s noodles had sausage plus a braised egg, only Lin Murong just had a tub of noodles.

Lin Murong was enjoying his meal until he saw the person next to him eating a sausage.

Lin Murong: “!!!”

He glanced left and right, then looked down again.

Damn.

So he’s the only one without.

Unfair.

Halfway through his meal, Lin Murong went back and added a sausage.

After adding the sausage, he sat back down and resumed his vigorous eating.

Such a weird competitive spirit.

Zhong Qi ate the quickest, even faster than Lin Murong.

After he finished, not yet full, he took out another high-level Crystal Core to exchange for money, this time grabbing a whole box of tub noodles.

“Can I borrow some more hot water?”

Su Yinhe agreed.

This guy’s a money god.

Leaving behind so much cash just for some hot water.

What a deal.

No wonder he’s rich.

Soon after Zhong Qi finished, Lin Murong also finished. Not to be outdone, he went back in, mimicking Zhong Qi and carried out a box of noodles.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Su Yinhe looked at her own three-quarter-full noodles, not really wanting to speak.

Alright, alright, they aren’t afraid of burning.

Eating so fast.

Only she’s as slow as a tortoise.
