Chapter 380: A Bold Guess
Liu Xing exchanged a knowing glance with Hu Cang, who smiled and turned to Xiao Mochen, saying, "It’s nothing. This is a friend I met in Rongcheng. However, he’s from the Island Nation and can’t understand what we’re saying."
Xiao Mochen looked somewhat surprised at Liu Xing, while Liu Xing politely nodded at Xiao Mochen and took out his phone, engrossed in playing with it.
Xiao Mochen withdrew his gaze and said to Hu Cang, "I see. I was actually thinking if I should find a quiet place to talk. After all, the things I told you are a bit embarrassing. But come to think of it, this foreigner’s phone looks different from ours; it seems high-end and classy."
Liu Xing, looking down at his own phone, realized it was indeed out of place in this era, as it was a smartphone from more than ten years in the future. Phones underwent significant changes every few years. Therefore, Liu Xing decided not to casually take out his phone in the future, to avoid drawing unnecessary attention and suspicion about his identity.
After all, in the world of the Cthulhu RPG Game module, anything was possible.
At this point, Xiao Mochen continued, "Hu Cang, this is really like a woman’s changeable heart. Yesterday, Hu Li and I were getting along well. I even hinted at proposing to her, and she seemed willing. So, I prepared everything to propose today, even had a big surprise for her. But unexpectedly, she changed her mind today before I could say a word. When I realized it, she had already gone upstairs. I had planned to go up and ask her what had happened, but the waiter she called was surprisingly strong and held me down."
Hu Cang, hearing this, had already guessed why Hu Li had suddenly rejected Xiao Mochen. Since Liu Xing had returned safely, it meant that Hu Li had discovered that Panlong Town was in a temporal distortion state, and she had already entered into a cooperation with Liu Xing. Therefore, Hu Li probably felt that she no longer needed to accept Xiao Mochen’s proposal.
Hu Cang was well aware that the reason Hu Li had agreed to Xiao Mochen’s proposal in the first place was largely because of himself, or rather, as a way of seeking revenge on him.
However, Hu Cang definitely wouldn’t reveal this, especially not to Xiao Mochen.
Thinking about this, Hu Cang sighed and said, "Xiao Mochen, didn’t I warn you when I first returned to Panlong Town? Don’t casually get involved with that woman, Hu Li. She’s not simple, and with your personality, you would have been taken advantage of. Now that it’s come to this, Xiao Mochen, it pains me to say this, but you’ve been played by Hu Li."
Although Xiao Mochen wanted to refute Hu Cang, he couldn’t find any valid arguments. So, he sighed and leaned against the wall looking disheartened.
Hu Cang patted Xiao Mochen’s shoulder and said earnestly, "Given the circumstances, Xiao Mochen, you should let go of your thoughts about Hu Li. A woman like her is not someone you can handle, and with your qualities, you can surely find someone better than her."
Xiao Mochen forced a smile and said, "Hu Cang, it’s easier said than done. You know my current situation. After opening that teahouse, I’m practically broke. My mother still needs medical treatment in Rongcheng, and you know how my father is. My monthly expenses are quite high, so let me be frank. One of the big reasons I chose Hu Li is that she doesn’t require a dowry."
Hearing this, Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, finding Xiao Mochen’s statement a bit exaggerated. After all, Hu Li’s appearance was well-documented on her dating app. Liu Xing couldn’t believe that Xiao Mochen’s decision to marry Hu Li wouldn’t be influenced by her appearance, not to mention her ability to use charm techniques.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Hu Cang, on the other hand, clearly shared Liu Xing’s thoughts. He couldn’t help but find Xiao Mochen’s words a bit unbelievable and said, "Xiao Mochen, it’s been so many years, and you’re still boasting like this. What you said can’t be described as anything other than self-deception. I thought about proposing to Hu Li, but now I have to go on blind dates to find someone suitable. Hu Cang, do you have any recommendations?"
Liu Xing pretended to yawn and discreetly observed the expressions on Hu Cang and Xiao Mochen’s faces. He noticed that Hu Cang seemed somewhat unnatural at the moment, while Xiao Mochen’s smile appeared forced.
With this in mind, Liu Xing had a better grasp of KP Snow Wind’s character. KP Snow Wind appeared to be of the neutral lawful alignment—friendly toward players but not inclined to provide substantial help.
Meanwhile, Hu Cang and Xiao Mochen’s conversation continued.
"Alright, I’ll introduce a suitable match for you later, Xiao Mochen. However, she’s from the neighboring town, so it might take a few days to arrange a meeting. Are you satisfied with that?" Hu Cang asked with a smile.
Xiao Mochen nodded and then asked, "Hu Cang, why don’t you introduce me to someone from Panlong Town? Wait a minute, why do I feel like there are so few women in Panlong Town now?"
Xiao Mochen furrowed his brows, lost in thought.
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Mochen. Could it be that Xiao Mochen had also awakened like Hu Li?
At that moment, the sound of dice hitting the table echoed.
After a while, Xiao Mochen furrowed his brows and said, "Hu Cang, have you noticed that something’s not right in Panlong Town? I have strange memories appearing in my mind."
Hu Cang looked at Xiao Mochen in shock and then turned to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing stood up, nodded at Hu Cang, and said, "It seems that Xiao Mochen has awakened too."
Xiao Mochen, upon hearing Liu Xing, immediately turned to him in surprise, saying, "Hu Cang, didn’t you say your friend couldn’t speak Chinese? Why can I understand what he’s saying even though he’s speaking a language I don’t understand?"
Liu Xing chuckled and said to Hu Cang, "Mr. Hu Cang, you might as well tell Xiao Mochen the current situation. After all, he has already awakened relevant memories, and it would be a good thing to share all those details with him."
Hu Cang nodded and began to explain the current situation to Xiao Mochen.
While Hu Cang and Xiao Mochen conversed, Liu Xing began to contemplate why Xiao Mochen had suddenly awakened these memories. Hu Li’s awakening was somewhat expected, given her attributes as a mythical creature, but Xiao Mochen’s awakening was a surprise. Apart from having higher attribute values in the dating app, his other attributes were generally average, according to Liu Xing’s assessment.
