Lindong noticed Ethan's gaze and continued, "She used to be mostly serious, but after meeting you, she became like this."
She felt that Ethan was somewhat responsible for Rowena becoming the "Funny Rowena" T2.5.
Ethan: "My fault? (Incredible)"
"The living conditions of Dream Eclipse members were originally very tough, keeping a low profile, assassinating targets, avoiding church and Kingdom Army searches, the survival environment was extremely high-pressure."
Moreover, Lindong admitted she was hands-off in daily life, leaving all funding and purchasing supplies issues to Rowena. Although Rowena often sighed and complained late at night, this greatly stimulated her potential, forcing her to become a more powerful terrorist.
But everything changed after meeting Ethan.
Lindong thought this might not have been Ethan's intention, but after joining the team, Rowena experienced the sensation of winning just by lying on the ground.
This could only be said that Old Sen's support was played so well, it far exceeded Rowena's level.
"I feel that during the time in Ximu Town, Rowena gained quite a few pounds."
Lindong clicked her tongue.
After spending a long time with Ethan, she learned a lot of theoretical knowledge and "professional jargon" from him.
Once people lie too much, they can easily become truly lazy.
This was a theory Ethan had put forward before, but that was aimed at mobilizing the craftsmen's subjective initiative in the imperial capital, which Lindong thought perfectly described Rowena's current state.
After a few words, Princess Sophia finally recovered from the exciting match, her cheeks flushed, eyes bright, and in line with the discussion, she said, "Nowadays, the only person who can compete with Rowena on the field should be the Knight Commander. I really want to see them compete against each other!"
However, she knew this wish was hard to realize.
The other side had only participated in one match and was in the same "team" as Rowena.
But just one game had become the myth among players, because in that match, the other side used the same style hand-cranked wheelchair as the civilians.
Sophia said, "It would be great if we could see how they train daily."
"Then how about today?"
Ave proposed, since they had returned from the Western Continent, it was also time for a team-building.
But from what she knew about the two of them, she felt Rowena and the other side would probably not train in private.
After the crowd dispersed, to satisfy Princess Sophia's curiosity, the group quietly followed behind Rowena, observing a different Rowena outside the competition.
Things developed beyond Sophia's expectations.
In her imagination, Rowena, as the "Wheelchair Hero," after the competition should first go to the Artisan Association to adjust the electric wheelchair prototype, then hold a discussion meeting after lunch to clarify the next competition direction, followed by long hours of practice until late at night.
A day in the life of a wheelchair hero should be fulfilling yet monotonous.
However, the actual situation was that once Rowena was back in her wheelchair, she immediately laid flat, as if she melted onto it, then slowly and leisurely visited the market like an old lady. After regaining her energy, she was in full negotiation mode during bargaining with vendors, buying a chicken and several baskets of fresh vegetables at 25% below market price.
"I bought so many things, can't you give me a few eggs?"
Getting closer, Sophia heard the wheelchair hero's words.
The vendor blushed, "No way, today I can't give away any eggs no matter what!"
He felt he had met the most skilled negotiator in history, Rowena had a kind of enchanting power, where you'd inexplicably fall into her rhythm, and by the time you realized it, you'd accidentally given away the eggs.
In fact, whenever Rowena appeared in the market, every vendor would be on high alert.
They had held a strategy meeting some days ago to review Rowena's bargaining process, determined not to let this wheelchair magic master take advantage of them again.
"Then, how about if I buy another chicken?"
Rowena glanced at the cage, "And that beef rib over there, isn't your wife having a baby recently? If you get home early, you'll have more time to take care of them, right?"
"Well..."
"Besides, you know? Giving a few eggs in Eastern Continent's mythology can accumulate virtue and luck for newly born children."
"How many eggs work best?"
"7, the lucky number according to the Life Divine Teachings."
"Then it's settled!"
...
"Ms. Rowena, what is she doing?"
Sophia watched from afar at Rowena carrying several baskets, suddenly disillusioned.
Where was the passionate practice she imagined?
Wasn't this just like those servants responsible for grocery shopping in the palace?
Besides, servants wouldn't haggle with vendors, it was undignified for nobility.
Ave said, "Grocery shopping."
"Why buy groceries?"
Sophia didn't understand. She had never bought groceries since childhood nor visited the imperial capital's market.
When she wanted to eat, she just had to tell the servants, and the food would automatically appear on the table, right?
"Because it's cheaper, cooking by oneself is much cheaper than eating at restaurants."
"Is Ms. Rowena very short on money?"
