Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 788 - 380: Xiao Li and Little White_1

It’s been over a week since Lin Xun completed the Firefly Chapter, and despite numerous attempts to use the fate-changing artifact, the luck value he’s getting has been less than satisfactory.

This situation has made him, who always claims to have the luck of a king, doubt his life a little bit.

After many attempts, Lin Xun figured that it might have to do with Feng Shui, considering that such mystical items couldn’t really be explained through scientific means.

As a result, he made a special trip back to Wencheng, trying once more in his old rented house.

After two more attempts, he confirmed that his recent streak of bad luck was to blame, and not the Feng Shui of his Jinling mansion.

While in Wencheng, he took the opportunity to visit his female boss, Li Xingyue.

The sultry sophistication of the long-absent black silk beauty was still very much intact. According to rumors spread by Ye Xiaoqi, their boss might get a promotion and move to the Yunjing headquarters, just like Lin Xun.

Lin Xun, the high-ranking old colleague now rich and esteemed in his hometown, of course couldn’t miss the chance to treat everyone to dinner.

However, after treating his colleagues to dinner, he discreetly invited his boss out. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Knowing the scarcity of legendary-level Divinity, he realized the enormity of the sacrifice Li Xingyue made in giving him that piece.

The Legendary Divinity was obtained by Li Long from the Book of Salvation, originally intended for his own niece. Surprisingly, Li Xingyue gave it to Lin Xun without a word.

"Boss Li, I am beyond words for your immense kindness and there’s nothing I could offer in return. I can only dedicate my life in gratitude!"

Lin Xun was deeply moved, lifting his glass to drain it in one gulp.

The faint and dim lighting in the bar fell on Li Xingyue’s side profile, accentuating her beautiful and exquisite features.

"Oh? Still calling me Boss Li?" Li Xingyue flashed a slight smile, seemingly implying something.

Already floaty from the drinks with his old colleagues, Lin Xun now suddenly perked up and hesitated: "Um... darling?"

"Sod off~" Li Xingyue rolled her eyes, "You’re no longer part of the Intelligence Team. Strictly speaking, as an officer in the Kunlun Cruisers, you outrank a city-level team leader."

"Now, I have to call you the leader."

On the surface, Lin Xun’s status within the official organization has indeed been promoted to a Kunlun Cruiser officer.

Cruiser’s offices are located at the Yunjing headquarters, but they hardly have a few days throughout the year to stay in Yunjing. Instead, they are ceaselessly dispatched to support battles, confronting the strongest forces of the New World.

This profession is quite dangerous, with a casualty rate even higher than the ’Heavenly Punishment’ squads.

On the flip side, the corresponding remuneration is extremely high. Lin Xun could now achieve financial freedom without utilizing New World’s resources.

Of course, now that he’s become the twelfth disciple, he has countless lambs under him and controls countless resources. If he wanted, his bank account could show a sprawling number of dazzling digits the next day.

"That wouldn’t do, a leader is forever a leader. Even if I’m no longer in the Intelligence Team, my respect for you has never changed."

"Isn’t that right, Xiao Li."

Just as Lin Xun finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain on his instep.

Li Xingyue cast a seductive glance at him and withdrew her stiletto from under the table: "Speaking of Cruisers ... Lu Caiyi from the Armed Team has also joined Kunlun, didn’t you contact her?"

"Hmm? Little White joined Kunlun?"

Lin Xun was taken aback and then quickly registered it.

Wasn’t Lu Caiyi supposed to be the next in line in the Armed Team as per Wang Zong? How come she suddenly joined Kunlun?

Leaving the Armed Team to join Kunlun is similar to a police academy graduate choosing to serve in the military instead of being a local sheriff, and to top it off, in the most dangerous front-line team which has the highest mortality rate.

He immediately took out his phone to call Lu Caiyi, but the call would not go through.

"It seems you haven’t been in touch with her..." Under Li Xingyue’s gaze lay some hidden meanings, "But don’t worry. Wang Zong had been to Yunjing a while ago to make sure that a reliable leader was arranged for Lu Caiyi."

"This leader was a veteran comrade of my uncle, who will take care of Lu Caiyi. Nothing untoward will happen."

Li Xingyue hid some of the facts, the truth was that Wang Zong didn’t visit Yunjing, but came to her instead. She helped him make the necessary arrangements for Lu Caiyi.

"Alright, if nothing else, I have to go back to work overtime."

"Recently, Amos replaced their local agent in Wencheng. The new official started with three flames and is quite active... "

"Even if I have to leave Wencheng, I can’t leave a mess behind."

Li Xingyue picked up her purse from the seat and stood up. Her black silk dress was a stark contrast against the bar environment.

"Wait."

Lin Xun regained his senses and grabbed Li Xingyue’s hand, solemnly looking into her beautiful flirtatious eyes.

"Is there something else?"

A glimmer of panic and anticipation crossed Li Xingyue’s eyes. While she didn’t retract her hand, she tried to maintain her composure and asked.

Lin Xun smiled faintly and let go of her hand: "Nothing, I just wish you soon achieve a higher position. Remember to check the items in your Book of Letters when you get back."

"What did you send me?"

Lin Xun mysteriously did not reveal anything, so she had to suppress her curiosity.

After parting ways, Li Xingyue hurriedly checked the Book of Letters the moment she returned to her office.

[Sword Casting Master: Boss Li, from now on, just send me the blueprints of any equipment you need....]

There was also an attachment to the letter, a piece of equipment.

[Nightingale Type Exoskeleton Mask Armor (Legend+ Grade Equipment): An exoskeleton mask armor painstakingly created by the ’Mask Master’ using legendary forging skills.]
