Chapter 208: Gathered Together

After they got their phones, the twin sisters continued shopping with Hao Ren. Dressed in chiffon ruffled tank-tops and skirts, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked beautiful and refreshing as if summer has arrived ahead of time.
In the past, the sisters would only go shopping themselves. With Hao Ren along with them, they seemed more excited and asked him for his opinions on the clothes they chose.
Hao Ren has never had any experiences like this before. He thought they were so beautiful that they would look good in any clothes they wore. Therefore, he answered them casually.
Little White was rolling around in the space in the necklace, meaning that it was hungry. Therefore, Hao Ren went to KFC and bought two buckets of chicken before finding a corner to feed Little White. However, it was still hungry after eating those.
Within two days, Little White had already cost Hao Ren almost 200-yuan worth of food, not to mention all the food in the fridge at his home that was also eaten by it. This made Hao Ren wonder if he could really afford to take care of it.
“Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili walked out of the fitting room.
Blue plaid jackets, wide-brimmed hat, and denim shorts that revealed the curves of their legs…
They hopped in front of Hao Ren wearing the same outfit, and their hair pulled into ponytails and pigtails. They were like newly debuted idols.
Lu Qing gave them a lot of pocket money every week. However, none of them had the concept of how to spend the money properly. They would buy whatever they liked, and the money would soon be all spent.
Since Lu Qing wasn’t back yet, the sisters had little to no money left. Therefore… Only Hao Ren could pay for those clothes.
Hao Ren didn’t mind spending money on Lu Linlin and Lu Lili since they have helped him out a lot in the past. Furthermore, he usually didn’t spend much money, and he still had quite a lot of money saved from the past. In contrast, Little White was going to consume more money in the long run and was more ‘expensive’ than the Lu sisters.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili both held a few bags of clothes and were filled with excitement. Although Lu Qing always gave them money to spend, he never went shopping with them. Comparing that with Hao Ren, they both thought Hao Ren treated them much better.
There was a cinema, an ice-skating rink, and an arcade shop at the mall…
It seemed like Lu Linlin and Lu Lili wanted to experience all of them. But Hao Ren felt that whether he brought them to the movies or the ice-skating rink, it would seem like he was showing off to all other men. Therefore, he chose to bring them to the arcade shop.
Although the Lu sisters had stayed in the city for a while now, they remained curious yet cautious about everything. For example, they never dared to come in this crowded and noisy arcade shop before.
But, they didn’t have to worry anymore since Hao Ren was with them. With the tokens Hao Ren got for them, they were playing every single gaming machine. They were so excited that they looked like two kids who have never been to an arcade shop before.
Dundun! Dundun!
“Impressive. Cleared the level again!”
“Full Score!”
There were a lot of people surrounding a gaming machine. Hao Ren walked over and saw a girl, who was dressed casually with gaming headphone on, holding a black sensor gun and shooting the monsters on the screen.
Dundun! Dundun!
As the virtual bullets were fired continuously, all the monsters that appeared on the screen were shot down. Yet, the female player didn’t get hurt at all in the game.
“She’s a master of the game,” Hao Ren thought.
“YOU-WIN!” Words of congratulations appeared on the screen. This girl cleared all the levels with the token she inserted from the beginning.
Not a single scratch! No monsters were left behind! A perfect clear!
Everyone behind her praised in excitement.
This girl took off the gaming headphones and walked down from the platform. Then, she turned toward other gaming machines.
“Su… Su Han!”
Hao Ren almost thought something was wrong with his eyes!
The girl who played the game perfectly and attracted many observers was Su Han!
Su Han turned around and saw Hao Ren as well. She then noticed Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who were playing on the basketball machine crazily not far from her.
“Why are you here?” Hao Ren took a few steps forward and asked.
“What? Why can’t I be here?” Su Han replied.
“Uh…” Hao Ren didn’t know what to say.
“I came here to buy some clothes and to relax for a bit.” Su Han glanced at him and took out a few tokens from her pocket. She inserted the coins into a car-racing machine beside her and sat on the seat.
Broom! Broom!
Su Han once again cleared all the levels!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, on the other hand, ran toward Hao Ren. “Gongzi! We used up all the tokens!”
From the look of it, even the simple game could cost them a dozen tokens! Hao Ren had no choice but to give them 200-yuan. “Go and exchange some tokens yourselves!”
“Thanks, Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili ran toward the counter happily together.
“It seems like your weekends are quite boring as well.” Su Han, who was still playing the car-racing game, turned her head and looked at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren thought, “You seem more bored than me. You even came here to play these games alone.”
He then looked at her gaming skills; it seemed like she came here often by herself to relieve her boredom.
When thinking about it, it seemed like Su Han, the Inspector, was actually quite lonely.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who just exchanged the money for 100 tokens, were interested in an airplane game. They sat down and started screaming while they played the game. Some guys were around them, wanting to strike up a conversation. However, when they saw how crazy the girls got even though they were playing a simple game, they didn’t know where to start.
“Let me take you out for dinner.” Hao Ren said to Su Han who was still playing the car-racing game, and she turned to stare at him.
Hao Ren suddenly felt like he was one of those bad guys who tried to flirt with girls, not to mention that the girl he was trying to ‘flirt’ with, was his own teacher… Although she was only two to three years older than him…
“If you win, I will have dinner with you,” Su Han threw two tokens toward Hao Ren.
Hao Ren caught the tokens and sat down next to Su Han. Then, he inserted the coins into the machine.
Challengers entered! Battle Mode!
Su Han smiled confidently, but Hao Ren seemed calmer.
The cars in the game started at the same time. Inside their screens, they could see each other’s car!
Brake! Gas pedal! Shift gear!
Their movements were the same as if they had practiced together before!
More and more observers gathered behind them!
Su Han’s face started to look more serious. Yet, Hao Ren remained calm!
Boom!
Hao Ren’s car reached the end point first!
As she saw ‘Second Place’ showing up on her screen, Su Han looked at Hao Ren, slightly surprised. She smiled gently and said, “It seems like you are always bored as well.”
Hao Ren didn’t deny it. Indeed, he used to come here a lot in the past because his parents were often not home. However, he stopped coming here after he got into university.
“Linlin, Lili, time to go!” Hao Ren called out to the Lu sisters who were moving the joystick crazily and about to break the gaming machine in half.
“Okay! Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn’t even bother picking up the rest of the tokens and stood up immediately as they started running toward Hao Ren happily. Those guys who were waiting for a chance to talk to them were left speechless.
In the intense jealous stares, Hao Ren walked out of the arcade shop with three gorgeous girls.
Four people, perfect for hotpot.
That was Su Han’s first time having dinner with the Lu sisters. Although they weren’t against each other, Su Han wasn’t on the same side as the Lu sisters.
Among the four of them, Hao Ren was the weakest. However, he connected everyone together.
Su Han quietly looked at Hao Ren who was ordering the food and suddenly remembered a criterion of the Inspectors in the Inspector System: It didn’t matter who was stronger or weaker. Whoever could solve the problems smoothly was the most influential person.
“This Hao Ren; he has the talent of gathering master around him and make them interact peacefully,” Su Han thought.
Hao Ren didn’t know Su Han was thinking about him while he was ordering food. All he noticed was that Little White had started rolling around inside the space in the necklace again.
“Eat, eat, eat! All you know is to eat. One day, you are going to kill yourself eating,” Hao Ren thought and said to Little White in his mind. He refused to let it out and eat. If he did, there wouldn’t be any food left for the four of them.
As Su Han noticed how Hao Ren was looking at his necklace repeatedly, she said, “You need to feed Spirit Beasts with elixirs, or you can instill some Nature Essence in them. They will consume a lot more if they have to capture energy from ordinary food.”
“Nature Essence… I have only saved a little bit of Nature Essence for myself. I will have nothing left if I share my Nature Essence with Little White,” Hao Ren thought.
“You took me out for dinner today, so I owe you a favor.” Su Han took ten red elixir pills out from her Xumi Ring. “Here are ten pills. Both cultivators and Spirit Beasts can consume it. One pill can last Little White for around one to two days. So, these will probably last you about half a month.”
“Thanks a lot,” Hao Ren said; he was just worrying about how to take care of Little White.
Luckily, no mortal saw what Su Han did. Otherwise, they would’ve thought she was doing a magic trick.
“Don’t mention it. Lu Qing gave me these elixirs. But, I didn’t use them for my cultivation,” Su Han replied gently.
She then looked at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who were sitting together. She probably felt the increase in their power, from middle-tier Kun-level to low-tier Qian-level. She frowned slightly but remained quiet.
The Lu sisters both were super talented, not to mention that they also had a perfect balance of the five elements. Compared to Su Han, it was so much easier and smoother for them to cultivate and improve. This made Su Han a bit worried.
But, since Hao Ren was her Assisting Inspector, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili should behave themselves.
“Gongzi, you have to start instilling Nature Essence in Little White from now on. Or, you can feed it elixirs so that it can grow,” Lu Linlin said as she saw Hao Ren putting the elixirs away.
“So, I can stop feeding it once it is fully grown?” Hao Ren asked them excitedly.
“No, it will consume more,” Lu Lili said with her eyes wide open.
“Uh…” Hao Ren was left speechless once again. He pointed at the hotpot with his chopsticks and tried to change the depressing topic, “Let’s just go back to eating,”
