Old Friend Lan Yu

Xia Yuwei saw Lu Yang's concern and said sincerely, "We really need the recipe for the electric eel. I hope you can help us. Although Frost Studio is not big, we will try our best to help if anything happens in the future. We promise not to spread the recipe."

A man beside Xia Yuwei was very displeased when he saw Xia Yuwei speaking so politely to Lu Yang. He frowned and said, "Yuwei, why are you being so polite to him? Just give him money and buy it. Kid, how about 1,000 to buy your secret? That's enough, right?"

Lu Yang recognized this man. His name was Zheng Yuan and he was Xia Yuwei's classmate. He was a typical rich second-generation heir. He was arrogant and had no ability. He had a natural sense of superiority in front of ordinary people and would throw money at any girl he liked.

Ever since he entered high school, he had been madly pursuing Xia Yuwei and Lan Yu. Unfortunately, the two of them had known what kind of person Zheng Yuan was since they were young and had no feelings for him at all.

Perhaps he had been hurt by Xia Yuwei. When Lu Yang found out about Zheng Yuan a long time later, he was still single. Obviously, he had not managed to get either Xia Yuwei or Lan Yu. He just kept changing girlfriends around him and did not love them at all.

Although Lu Yang was poor, he was a proud person. Looking at Zheng Yuan's ugly face, Lu Yang said coldly, "I'm sorry, I'm not selling."

Zheng Yuan was stunned. After he thought he understood the situation, he said with a mocking expression, "What? Do you think the money is too little? Do you think you can squeeze more for a beginner cooking recipe? Let me tell you, kid, don't be shameless. We're only offering 1,000. Hurry up and tell me your bank account number. I don't have time to waste with you."

Lu Yang said calmly, "Get lost."

"F*ck you…" Zheng Yuan was anxious. Just as he was about to kill Lu Yang, he was pulled back by the person beside him. He pointed at the NPC not far away and said, "If you want to die, don't implicate the rest of our team. At this distance, if you kill anyone, the soldiers will come after you."

The game allowed players to kill and steal monsters, but that was illegal. Official NPCs would kill players who killed other players forcibly. This was the reason why Lu Yang cooked in this spot. Otherwise, the people surrounding him would have long forced him to tell them how to make the Crispy Electric Eel.

Lu Yang glanced at the person who was blocking Zheng Yuan. Lu Yang knew this person. His name was Zhang Zibo. He was a good person and had brains. He was the main tank of the team. However, his thoughts were unnecessary. On account of Lan Yu, Lu Yang would not cheat them.

Xia Yuwei knew that Zheng Yuan was going to ruin things and asked Zhang Zibo to pull him away. She said apologetically, "Friend, that's not what my companion meant. Please don't be angry. We really want to get this formula. Please help us."

In the early stages of the game, there was no real currency and game currency exchange function. It could only be traded through external platforms. However, this was the first day of the game. As the saying went, money was king, but not quite yet in the game. Xia Yuwei and the other rich second-generation heirs had money but no place to spend it. In the face of the pitiful copper coins and expensive medicine in the pharmacy, Xia Yuwei could only beg in a low voice in the hope that she would not fall out of the first tier in the game.

Lan Yu also walked to Xia Yuwei's side and said gently, "Sir, it was our fault just now. Please don't take it to heart."

After all, they had been friends in his previous life, and Lan Yu had personally pleaded for leniency. Lu Yang thought about it and said, "I can tell you the method, but you have to keep it a secret."

Considering the tense atmosphere a moment ago, Xia Yuwei thought that Lu Yang wouldn't tell them the method, but he agreed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Yuwei and Lan Yu looked at each other in surprise and quickly said, "Thank you so much."

Lu Yang smiled nonchalantly. He pointed at Lan Yu and said, "Little girl, come here. I'll tell you how to complete this mission. The rest of you, disperse. Don't let anyone near you get close."

Xia Yuwei quickly led her subordinates to disperse the players who wanted to eavesdrop. Lan Yu walked shyly to Lu Yang. She didn't know why Lu Yang chose her.

Lu Yang whispered the location of the electric eel meat recipe to Lan Yu. Just as Lan Yu was about to thank him, Lu Yang suddenly lowered his head and whispered to Lan Yu, "Coordinates 7985.9867. There's an old man there. After completing the mission he gave you, he will send you into a cave. The cave is filled with level 1 and 2 monsters. It's suitable for your team to go."

This was discovered by a player five days after the start of the game in his previous life. Because the geographical location was too remote, and the old man's quest was very complicated, it required a team of players to complete it, so many people did not do it.

After the guide was released, everyone knew that this was a good place to level up. However, this place was not suitable for Lu Yang because the cave was very empty and there were many monsters. Without any bug spots, skills, and equipment, Lu Yang would only die if he entered.

Lan Yu looked at Lu Yang in surprise and said, "Really?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Why would I lie to you? Bring 10,000 electric eel meat. It's enough for you to fight there for the entire night."

Lan Yu nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Thank you."

Currently, most players could only rely on snatching monsters to level up. If there was a leveling location where no one would snatch monsters from them, it would be even happier for Lan Yu and the others than if they could exchange cash for game coins.

Lu Yang said mischievously, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you? What if you encounter level-five monsters when you enter?"

Lan Yu said, "Your eyes are so pure. It's obvious that you're a good person. I know you won't lie to me."

Lu Yang could not help but laugh. This girl was still so smart.

"Alright, I'm leaving." After more than two hours, Lu Yang was ready to level up. There would be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future, but he could not delay leveling up in the new server.

Seeing that Lu Yang was about to leave, Lan Yu sent a friend request and said, "Let's add each other as friends."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Of course."

System Notification: [You have accepted Lan Yu's friend request. The two of you are now friends.]

After waving at Lan Yu, Lu Yang returned to the town.

Lan Yu looked in the direction where Lu Yang disappeared and felt a little lost. For some reason, Lu Yang gave her a very familiar feeling, as if he was an old friend she had known for many years.

Xia Yuwei walked to Lan Yu's side and said jokingly, "He's already far away, why are you still looking?"

Lan Yu blushed and said shyly, "This person is so mysterious. I feel like he's very good."
