Chapter 1522: Call for People

It turned out that it was extremely difficult to crack this Relationship Tribulations.

Xu Que now found himself feeling depressed and unhappy about trying to get through this tribulations. First of all, he had absolutely no interest at all in Xuanyuan Wanrong, and, in fact, it had even gotten to the point where he had begun to feel slightly repelled by her. And secondly, Xuanyuan Wanrong felt absolutely the same way that Xu Que did.

How would it be possible for two people who felt this way about each other to come together, actually develop a closeness and affection, and traverse the Relationship Tribulations together?

“Oh, to h*ll with it!

Xu Que was very savvy in his methods for hitting on girls and was supremely confident that if he were to put in the effort, it would not be difficult to make Xuanyuan Wanrong care for him. However, the underlying problem was that it was already very difficult for him to not thoroughly detest Xuanyuan Wanrong and to not regard her as his enemy.

For him to put in the effort to court Xuanyuan Wanrong and eventually move her heart, for the two of them to become cultivation companions, for their hearts to be in sync, this was impossible.

This simply was not going to ever be accomplished. Even if he were able to use various crafty means to influence Xuanyuan Wanrong, Xu Que couldn’t get past his own feelings. He himself was unable to like Xuanyuan Wanrong, and he wouldn’t be able to traverse the Relationship Tribulations with her from beginning to end.

If he liked someone, he liked them. If he didn’t like someone, he didn’t like them. It was as simple as that. He couldn’t force himself to feel something that wasn’t there when it came to feelings of affection.

As a result, these two people’s situation looked as if it was becoming evident that they would have to die because they couldn’t traverse the Relationship Tribulations.

If it had been some kind of a normal situation, Xu Que might’ve given it a try and endured the humiliation of pretending to care for her, thinking of it as simply part of an important mission. He could’ve reluctantly hit on Xuanyuan Wanrong.

But unfortunately, he possessed the System.

In this world of dreams, he only had a replicated version of the System. He could only buy a few Martial Arts secret skills manuals from the System store. There were also a few remnants of other auxiliary features. For example, the System had worked out a solution on how to resolve this Relationship Tribulations.

The Relationship Tribulations that they were now facing in the world of dreams had all come from the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. Another way this could be understood was that they were trapped inside an incomparably high-level Illusory Spell.

Everything in this world of dreams had been constructed based on Xu Que’s memories. The God’s Strength from the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi had developed and manifested these memories following what Xu Que supposedly remembered. Ultimately, everything was fake.

Therefore, the System could help to crack this Illusory Spell, but it required a large number of Acting Tough Points.

Xu Que had originally intended to create a bunch of Acting Tough Points. Then he was planning to exchange them for the Blood Demon Magic Mind Arts and take the Blood Demon Pill from the Newbie Gift Package to instantly gain 50 years of Internal Force. Then he was planning to cultivate the Twinkle Finger, the Wave-like Subtle Steps, and other Martial Arts to be able to instantaneously become unrivaled in the whole world. He would then become the top person in Martial Arts who would exist on Earth.

At that time, he would be able to do whatever he pleased and earn enough Acting Tough Points to let the system do away with the Relationship Tribulations.

But now he had changed his mind. It would require a total of 3,000 Acting Tough Points for the system to do away with the Relationship Tribulations.

According to his previous plan, he would have needed to accumulate 2,000 Acting Tough Points to exchange for the Blood Demon Magic Mind Arts. Then he could have needed to continue to earn 3,000 more Acting Tough Points, which was really slow going.

All of a sudden, with the emergence of Xia Luoqing, Xu Que had instantly seen an opportunity to settle the matter all in one go and earn 3,000 Acting Tough Points at the same time.

As Xia Luoqing was the Young Master of the Xia family in the capital, with all the connections that this identity had, as long as Xu Que didn’t care about the consequences and behaved unscrupulously to detonate everything, perhaps the Acting Tough Points he would earn would be even more than 3,000 points.

Of course, it was also a big gamble. If the results didn’t allow Xu Que to earn 3,000 Acting Tough Points as he’d hoped, then the consequences of his unscrupulous behavior could lead to countless forces on Earth chasing after him to kill him. If by any chance, he were to die, he would really be dead.

GASP!

“I haven’t been this nervous for a long time…”

Xu Que was standing outside a splendidly decorated hotel. Looking at the building with his hands slightly clenched, his palms started to sweat.

After he’d readily agreed to Xia Luoqing’s invitation, he’d been taken to this hotel by Xia Luoqing, accompanied by Xuanyuan Wanrong and Lin Yuxi.

However, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s outfit was really somewhat peculiar. The restaurant in this hotel was Michelin-starred and had a dress code for its patrons. When Xuanyuan Wanrong had just arrived at the entrance to the elevator that was specially designed to go directly to the restaurant, she had been politely stopped by the receptionist.

Normally, because of Xia Luoqing’s identity, the restaurant would have certainly let Xuanyuan Wanrong enter, but Xia Luoqing seemed to intend that Xuanyuan Wanrong leave and he didn’t speak up.

“Yuxi, why don’t you take Wanrong to a nearby clothing store to buy some new clothes?” Xu Que didn’t care whether Xuanyuan Wanrong and Lin Yuxi would be at the scene. He could vaguely guess Xia Luoqing’s intentions, so he decided to open his mouth first to suggest Xuanyuan Wanrong go buy some new clothes.

Lin Yuxi was still feeling somewhat confused. After all, at this point, she was not officially dating Xu Que yet and couldn’t fully understand Xu Que. She felt that this male schoolmate whom she’d had a favorable impression of seemed to have undergone a major transformation overnight.

But since Xu Que had asked, Lin Yuxi had also naturally nodded and agreed. “Well, there happens to be a shopping mall near here.”

Xuanyuan Wanrong was initially somewhat hesitant. She looked at Xu Que for a long while with a hint of surprise in her eyes as if she had guessed something and found it hard to believe.

“Do you remember everything that’s going on?” She leaned toward Xu Que and asked him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

“Huh? What did I remember?” Xu Que pretended to be stupid and stared blankly at her.

Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned and finally shook her head as she said, “Nothing, but you’d better be careful.” She whispered a warning and then turned around to leave with Lin Yuxi.

Originally she’d felt that Xu Que had seemed to have regained his memory, but Xu Que’s baffled expression changed her mind.

After all, this was the world of dreams created by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. It was a world completely based on the memory of one of the parties. The memory also came from the version of Xu Que during that period. There was no reason for him to recall his future memories.

Therefore, the fact that Xu Que had taken the initiative to make her leave at this time, caused her to search for another reason to explain the situation. She speculated that Xu Que might be aware that there was danger. But because he had acquired Martial Arts, he didn’t have to worry about his own safety. He had made her leave so that he wouldn’t be distracted by looking after her.

After all, now she was really without any strength at all. She was only a mortal.

“Classmate Xu, let us go up to order first.”

Lin Yuxi and Xuanyuan Wanrong had left to go and buy Xuanyuan Wanrong some clothes, and Xia Luoqing couldn’t wait to get started.

“Sounds good.” Xu Que immediately replied with a beaming smile.

At this moment, he looked like a lottery winner about to go and pick up his winnings. The excitement inside him had turned to exhilaration. He couldn’t help but jiggle his legs as he stepped through the hotel entrance.

At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong, who had already walked a dozen paces, turned around to take a look and saw Xu Que’s back view and noticed his jiggling. Her heart couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“This guy, he’s so afraid, and yet he still wants me to step away to take risks alone. He’s acting quite like a man.” She was secretly shocked. Was it possible that she had misjudged this guy’s character in the past?”

…..

Xu Que and Xia Luoqing took the elevator and went straight up to the top floor of the hotel.

The restaurant had been built on the highest floor of the hotel. It had been decorated in the style of a Miami Beach restaurant. The ceiling was made of reinforced glass, which could be controlled to open and close, and either worship or shield from the sun.

The restaurant’s interior was luxurious, magnificent, and extremely impressive. To be able to afford to have a meal here, people needed to be wealthy and respectable, as well as have remarkable statuses. One could be talking about a small fortune for any of the private rooms or a table. Amid drinks and chatting, one could decide countless workers’ employment or unemployment.

To a certain extent, most of the people who dined here could be described as the city’s big shots.

The arrival of Xia Luoqing also immediately attracted the attention of many big shots in the room. To be able to sit in the restaurant’s main dining area to eat implied that either nothing of importance was being discussed or one’s class was not high enough.

But many people at the numerous tables in the restaurant’s main dining area seemed to recognize Xia Luoqing.

“Uncle Liu, CEO Lin, CEO Li…” Xia Luoqing also seemed very calm, showing a maturity and steadiness incompatible with his age as he greeted many of his elders there.

Following which, under the guidance of the service staff, Xia Luoqing and Xu Que stepped into a large private room.

PLOP!

They had just entered the room and the service staff had not had time to set the tableware when Xu Que just plonked himself into a chair. With his arms crossed in front of his chest, he looked at Xia Luoqing with a grin and said, “Call for people, as many as you want, I’m in a bit of a hurry!”
