New Year Eve's Dinner - Part 1

"You called?"

"YEAH WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!" Qiu Yue shouted in the phone so loudly that Jin could feel her wrath transmitting through the phone.

"I erm... accidentally fell asleep in one of the workshop hangars after discussing some stuff with Rei and the others," Jin replied with a guilty conscience. He felt like a little kid who had been out playing for too long, worrying his mother. What followed was an awkward pause in the conversation.

"Oh. Okay... No wonder the System did not allow us to call through. -Sigh- I guess we may have overreacted, but the System could have just told us that you had fallen asleep." Qiu Yue sounded a bit calmer, but not by much.

Suddenly the System interjected: "System cannot verify whether User is truly asleep or cultivating. Thus, System has been unable to provide a definite response to your questions."
