Chapter 149 (Sexy Showgirls)
“Shan Shan, where are we going to eat?” I asked her the dining place just when I got out of the cab.
Murong Shan Shan looked at the time on her phone. She then pointed to the restaurant at the side and said, “Let’s eat right here. After eating, I still have important things to do. I’ll treat you to a big dinner tonight.”
With that, she pulled me into this not very expensive restaurant without further explanation.
“What will you two order?”
The owner hurriedly ran over red-faced, very enthusiastic. However, his sight was kept fixed at Murong Shan Shan. I also felt that Murong Shan Shan was a bit different. When I took a careful look, I just realized that she wore new kind of clothes. It wasn’t the usually bloated coat, but instead, a more stunning-looking sky-blue jacket. Underneath the open jacket was a pearl-white sweater, and her two tall peaks enticing the endless imagination of the people who looked at it.
I gulped, “Shan Shan, why are you dressed like this today?”
Murong Shan Shan smiled charmingly and said, “Beautiful?”
Before I could answer, the owner had already spoken, “Very beautiful! God, there’s actually such a beautiful girl in the world!”
“Boss, bring us some of your specialty. You don’t need to stand here!” Murong Shan Shan made her order grumpily.
“Then, you guys wait a minute…”
When the boss had left, Murong Shan Shan started to explain, “Yesterday afternoon, the Moon Monochrome’s officials had contacted me. They said that the board had decided to ask me to endorse Moon Monochrome.”
Although, she said it lightly, I was fully surprised hearing that. The people endorsing a game were usually big stars, very seldom would they invite ordinary beautiful women. Especially Moon Monochrome that was currently booming in the online game world. For a moment, I didn’t understand what the Moon Monochrome company was up to.
However, to be honest, endorsing Murong Shan Shan’s pictures was absolutely much better than of those stars. Murong Shan Shan’s beauty was an elegant and refined kind of beauty, not like those sexy or flirtatious stars.
I asked in a whisper, “What’s the fee for the endorsement? And in what way will it be done?”
“The fee is initially set at around 50 million,” Murong Shan Shan look at me, smiling, and added, “It’s not too much actually. They will simply place some print ads. The main promotion will still be the scenes from the game. I just need to give them some more screenshots. They said that there will be a game promotion exhibition this afternoon, so I’d better go to see.”
“That’s good. By the way, why did you call me over?”
Murong Shan Shan blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked innocently at me, saying, “I’m just a girl by myself, so I need someone to accompany me to the big exhibition! Besides, I also heard that in the game exhibition this afternoon, there will be a lot of showgirls. I’m pretty sure there must be a lot of beautiful girls and they won’t wear many clothes!”
“Really?” I tried to show a calm face, but my heart was in ecstasy. Damn, I had always wanted to see those game girls. I had always drooled seeing those showgirls.
The food came soon. It was quite obvious. Murong Shan Shan didn’t have much food at home. In a very short time, the both of us had swept clean the foods on the table. It was also close to the time for the game exhibition.
After she paid the bills, we directly took a taxi to get to the Suzhou’s branch of Moon Monochrome company. The main hall was almost full of people. Murong Shan Shan pulled my arm and said, “Let’s enter from the back door. Come with me!”
…
After getting in the event, I was shocked by all kinds of scenes in front of me…
Damn, the exhibition event of game equipment and softwares nowadays, they were more like an exhibition of women. Each and every one of the showgirls was dressed very beautifully yet sexy, some even to the extent of only wearing three strips of clothes, covering the important parts simply with a CD-ROM or other things. I couldn’t help but wonder if they could cover their ** with two mouses, I would really be impressed!
So, I started to discuss with Murong Shan Shan:
“Shan Shan, why do you think that girl is wearing so little?”
“Because the air conditioning is too hot…”
“Then, why did she purposely showed off her bra?”
“Maybe that’s the trend…”
“God, how did her panties came off? How?”
“Idiot, how do I know! Ask her yourself!”
…
Murong Shan Shan’s franticness immediately attracted the attention of a few showgirl’s boyfriends. That wasn’t just it. Even those photographers, who were currently shooting some photographs, were focusing their cameras on Murong Shan Shan. I had also then became a victim of those cameras.
Several guys talked in low voices, “That beautiful girl seems to be familiar. I think it’s Murong Shan Shan!”
“Wow, she’s even prettier than in the game! God, please save me, I’m dizzy…”
At this moment, a girl had noticed me and immediately exclaimed, “That handsome guy next to Murong Shan Shan, might he be Green Veggies White Jade Soup?”
Another girl immediately argued, “How is that possible? He doesn’t resemble him at all. He’s much more handsome than the first-ranked expert!”
“No way, he is too similar with Green Veggies White Jade Soup. It must be him. Besides him, who can walk so close with Murong Shan Shan?!”
After the burst of chaos, Murong Shan Shan quickly squeezed out of the crowd and return. On the way back, in the cab, she couldn’t help but complain, “When I finally got a chance to go out and have fun, you just have to ruin it!”
I immediately retorted, “What? It was obviously you who was getting too much exposure. How can you blame me?”
“Even I can hear the voices of those two idiot women saying that you’re Green Veggies White Jade Soup!”
“…”
Entering Murong Shan Shan’s home while still shaken, the door closed with a bang. I didn’t think that the door would be so rickety. Even the dust fell off from the jolt.
Murong Shan Shan looked back and said, “What are you doing these two days that you don’t even send me a message?”
“Refining potions. I’ve been training this Potion Refining skill. Last night, I got the Alchemist sub-class and had been running in the mountains all night finding herbs.”
Murong Shan Shan was already sitting on the bed and turned on the computer. She smiled, “Come and look at the forum, don’t just train for equipment the whole day. It’s also good to see other’s gaming experience when you got the time.”
“Yeah.”
After complying, I walked over and the nice bedside. A burst of Murong Shan Shan’s delicate fragrance immediately seeped into me from the side. Her coat that she put on the bed would let people even more unable to help but fantasizing.
“Lin Fan, look. This post is about the sub-classes!” Murong Shan Shan gasped. I quickly looked over, and sure enough, the computer was now showing the title of the post: The comprehensive guide to uncovering the sub-classes!
“Shan Shan, I don’t think you have taken any sub-class yet, right?”
“Yes. Don’t be so noisy. Let me take a look first!”
Murong Shan Shan scrolled down the page and the post content gradually emerged.
The author of this post was a professional player. He said that together with a couple of friends, they had picked up all the available professions, and were sharing their experience here. After carefully looking at it, I discovered that in addition to those professions that I was familiar of: Harvester and Alchemist, there were also professions like Miner, Cook, Mason, and Blacksmith. (TL Note: I previously made a translating mistake and thought that the Harvesting skill was part of the Alchemist profession. To make it clear: Harvesting is a Harvester’s skill, and Potion Refining is an Alchemist’s skill. However, I’m a bit confused, because in the previous chapters, it was said that a player can only have two professions. The MC already had the Miner profession, yet, he could still get the Harvester and Alchemist professions. Also, please note that professions and sub-class would be the same thing.)
Miners mainly were extracting all kinds of ores, which could be used to create armor equipment. In addition to ores, leather armors also require small amounts of animal fur, which could be acquired from hunting. To create cloth equipment, only sackcloth or linen, and a small amount of animal fur would be required. Linen could be acquired from harvesting *. (TL Note: the * was in the original text and I can’t figure out what word would fit.)
These were fairly similar with other traditional games. However, Moon Monochrome had it own uniqueness, which was also what interested me the most: Mason profession!
Described in the post, after studies and researchs by several players: the Mason was a profession mainly usefull for city defense. They could build siege-type weapons, or build some defense buildings like arrow towers or gun turrets type of buildings.
Murong Shan Shan and I instantly looked at each other. Others might not have thought of it, but this post had given us the most obvious hint: In the future, in the battle for the Station Area, this profession would likely become the dominant factor!
I said very seriously, “You have to train this profession!”
“Why?” Murong Shan Shan looked unsure.
I smiled and said, “Have you ever heard about matriarchal clans? Do you know why that could happen?”
“I have, so what? Does it have something to do with this?”
“Of course. It was because at that time, the main factor of productivity was harvesting, it had let women rise in their positions. At the present, everyone is equal in the social structure. That’s why I decided to carry down this difficult task on our own! “
Murong Shan Shan showed a pained expression, “I could train that, but the raw materials for masonry are ores and timbers. Who will provide that?”
“I can provide the ores, and about the timbers… we could assign Young and Frivolous or Sun Never Sets to train as Lumberjacks!” (TL Note: Hopefully, there will be an explanation later on about this new ‘Lumberjack’)
“Do you think that other people are so free like you and still have the time to train professions?”
I said in disagreement, “That might not be the case. The extraction profession isn’t very time-consuming. While leveling, if you see the resources, you can do the collecting. It won’t waste too much leveling time. When I get online, I’ll talk to Young and Frivolous.”
Murong Shan Shan immediately exposed a sweet smile and said mischievously, “Okay. I’ll leave this matter to you then. I’ll just be waiting for the raw materials…”
Looking at her proud look, I suddenly realized something, “After getting the Mason profession, you can still get another profession, right? Why the trouble finding someone else? You sly girl!”
“Wow, when did you become so smart?!” Murong Shan Shan was surprised.
