Chapter 11: Hearing thoughts!
“How could this be?”
Chris' sudden anger confused the front desk lady! She couldn't understand... Why would someone like Chris suddenly become so angry?
Of course, the front desk lady knew Chris well, and she had a very good impression of him! Kiso also belongs to the lands of Chris's father, Earl Grint. However, Chris had always been a calm person in Kisu City over the years and did not seem like a young master. Not only that, but he will always help people in need.
But such a person would suddenly shout angrily with a violent look on his face, which really frightened the lady at the front desk! Chris' shout also attracted other people in the guild, and suddenly strange eyes were cast on Chris...
"I……"
At this moment, Chris finally realized his mistake and secretly thought that something was wrong! He was already disturbed by the constant misfortunes that had just happened, and the treasure chest incident was the last straw, making him have a bad mood and explode!
No... In order not to reveal my identity, I must control my nerves. Chris knew the original owner was a good man. If his personality changed radically, it would obviously cause unnecessary problems. The suspicious looks around him were enough to prove that.
“I’m sorry… I was mentally disturbed by the poisonous gas that the monster released today, so my mood is a little unstable."
Chris took a deep breath, turned a gentle tone, and apologized with a smile. “I'm surprised... Aren't the treasures in a silver treasure chest generally worth 20,000 points? Why is this treasure chest different from a regular silver chest?”
"That's it..."
After hearing the reason given by Chris, the front desk lady recovered from her shock. She didn't doubt Chris' words much. After all, Chris' character was already good, so she patiently explained: “In general, a silver treasure chest has 20,000 points, but sometimes there are exceptions with bad luck... For example, the treasure in this treasure chest is equal to 8000 only."
Real or fake?...
After hearing what the front desk lady said, it could be said that Chris's heart turned cold. Intellectually, he also knew that the Adventurers' Guild couldn't cheat him for 20,000 points, but... his wishful thinking was originally very good, so why was he so unlucky?!
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Could today be a really bad day?
It's a pity that Chris didn't know that there was a piece of magic amethyst in the silver treasure chest; this thing is very valuable.
“Master Chris, if that’s the case, let’s give each of us 4,000 points.”
Just when Chris couldn't accept it, Linsha's clear voice came from the side. But for some reason, Chris heard a sense of strangeness in Linsha's voice this time.
Chris suddenly raised his head and looked at Linsha's expression. She still had a soft smile on her lips, but her dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed for some reason, and she stared at him with a strange look.
What happened? Could it be that Linsha's favoritism towards him has decreased because of his shouting now?
Thinking of this, a trace of sweat appeared on Chris's forehead. Speaking of which, the original owner is a polite person and should not violate this character in front of Linsha! Otherwise, if you make her feel alienated from him, how can we get over it?
“No need! Miss Linsha, please upgrade your adventure level first. My work this time was originally for you.”
After Chris said this, he said in an affectionate tone, “Don’t worry, I will always support your dream, Miss Linsha!”
Chris secretly thought: His personal mission can be postponed, but it would be troublesome if he lost Linsha's favor! His affectionate performance should also improve Linsha's preference.
“Then... thank you, Master Chris.”
However, before he could finish his reverie, Chris saw Linsha thanking him with a smile and then walked straight to the reception desk to complete the formalities.
Yes? This is not true! According to Linsha's character, she will reject this kind of thing again and again and then only accept kindness when she really can't resist it, and after that, she will say thank you to him many times!
Could it be that his shouting just now has made Linsha so angry??
--------------------------
Chris' idea wasn't actually wrong; Linsha would do that under normal circumstances, but only if her body wasn't parasitized by a plant.
“This guy is very confused; he's probably a noob, right?”
Watching Chris scream because of his explosive mentality, Yaming came to this conclusion in his mind. Although he is a beginner himself, that does not prevent him from commenting that the other contestants are beginners.
“Even if other contestants don't know the plot like me, using your identity as a good-natured young man to vent your feelings in public is not the behavior of a mature contestant.”
While complaining, Yaming silently felt Linsha's feelings caused by this and soon discovered that he had vaguely heard Linsha's thoughts!
[How could Mr. Chris do this? He didn't even ask carefully before losing his temper, which frightened Miss Tines, who was always so kind to me!]
At this moment, Yaming actually felt a hint of dissatisfaction with Chris from Linsha’s feelings. But this small hint of dissatisfaction disappeared within a second, and then Linsha's thoughts surfaced again.
[Forget it... Mr. Chris is also mentally exhausted due to the poisoning. This is all my fault. I'm sorry... I will apologize to him]
Yaming: ???
Good girl, Yaming finally knew why Linsha refused to answer or scold him in the game. This girl's inner mind is indeed dangerous!
But now, Yaming is too lazy to pay attention to Linsha's boring thoughts. He only has one goal in mind now, which is to reduce Chris's favoritism in Linsha's heart. So he did not hesitate to bring back the dissatisfaction that had just disappeared in Linsha's heart.
In an instant, Linsha was surprised to find that the dissatisfaction she had just suppressed toward Chris had actually returned.
Hmm? What happened?
Linsha blinked her eyes, suddenly feeling that she was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Chris, and looking at the front desk lady, Tennys, she felt more and more sad. As for Mr. Chris's screaming, I don't know what harm that weak heart has taken!
Thinking of this, Linsha let out a breath of dissatisfaction for the first time.
