Chapter 408: Feeling Inferior
What Ye Qingxuan was doing, Luo Ji naturally didn’t know.
At this moment, he was busy putting the expansion of the salt drying workshop and increasing its manpower on the agenda.
Although he felt he wouldn’t stay long in the neutral zone, he decided it would be better to arrange various matters before his absence.
Originally, he had been busy with the development of his Myriad World Civilization and had no interest in the neutral zone, nor was there any need for him to go there.
However, taking this opportunity to familiarize himself with the terrain wasn’t bad.
In case something came up later that required him to go there, he wouldn’t be like a headless fly unable to find his way.
After making proper arrangements, Luo Ji sent a message to Ye Qingxuan, then pulled up the system panel and selected the option to transfer to the neutral zone.
[System prompt: Are you sure you want to spend 10,000 Civilization Points to transfer to the neutral zone?]
That’s right, the neutral zone wasn’t somewhere you could enter or exit at will.
Each transfer cost 10,000 Civilization Points, essentially a teleportation fee, making a round trip 20,000.
For Luo Ji, who was now a Bronze-tier player, 20,000 Civilization Points were naturally nothing.
But for some unranked newcomers, this cost could be quite painful.
He quickly selected “confirm.”
At that moment, there was no special sensation; basically, with a blink of an eye, Luo Ji found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
There were surprisingly many pedestrians around.
Luo Ji, wearing a black silk robe, inexplicably felt a sudden tension.
Then, he looked closely and relaxed slightly when he realized that the surrounding pedestrians were all wearing bizarre clothing, and few seemed to notice him.
He inwardly laughed at himself for being overly nervous.
This was the neutral zone.
Players from all eras came here, and their clothing was naturally diverse and strange.
There were many dressed in silk robes like him, but if you looked around, you would find that those wearing silk robes could be considered a very low-key group.
There were far more high-profile and arrogant people than them.
For example, the one who just walked past him, clad in armor that looked quite heavy, with a long sword hanging from his waist, completely parading around.
Fortunately, combat was prohibited in the neutral zone; any damage would be nullified, and the hanging long sword basically served only as a decoration.
Otherwise, this guy would definitely be a dangerous element.
Luo Ji’s current location should be a place similar to a central plaza.
Behind him was a fountain.
He scanned the surroundings; Ye Qingxuan didn’t seem to have arrived yet.
He simply assumed there was a time difference delay between them.
Luo Ji was in no hurry.
He habitually fiddled with the black jade carp in his hand, standing by the fountain and unhurriedly observing the buildings and other players in the neutral zone.
The architecture itself had no particular highlights, it was entirely the design of a modern plaza.
However, once this modern architecture was combined with players in various bizarre outfits, it looked quite interesting.
Originally, Luo Ji thought that the player swaggering around in armor was strange enough, but not long after, a player wearing an emperor’s dragon robe completely refreshed his worldview.
This display was simply too absurd!
A dragon robe, a dragon robe!
There were actually eccentric people who wore it directly into the neutral zone.
To some extent, this also required immense courage.
He certainly didn’t have that much courage.
When he first arrived, he had felt a little nervous just because he was wearing a silk robe.
Now, it was clear that his cultivation was too shallow, and he felt utterly inferior, utterly inferior!
Just as he was lost in these wild thoughts, a graceful figure appeared before him.
She was wearing a light blue silk dress, appearing quite ethereal and refined, making Luo Ji instinctively look at her face.
Unexpectedly, she was wearing a light veil hat, with blue and white sheer fabric sewn along the brim, almost completely enveloping her in the veil.
Looking at this figure, just as Luo Ji was deep in thought, she gently lifted the veil in front of her.
The exquisite and beautiful face, upon entering his sight, caused him to lose his focus for a moment.
Ye Qingxuan, who took in Luo Ji’s reaction completely, her smile became even more pronounced. Then she softly asked.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No. Why are you dressed like this?”
Luo Ji quickly regained his composure, re-examined Ye Qingxuan, and asked with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan smiled and gestured towards a direction.
Luo Ji instinctively looked over, only to see the player in the dragon robe, who had just made him feel inferior, now smiling and trying to strike up a conversation with a female player.
From a distance, Luo Ji could faintly make out what he was saying…
“Beautiful lady, beautiful lady, let’s add each other as friends.”
“Beautiful lady, do you have a boyfriend?”
In response, the female player being approached maintained a cold expression throughout, clearly showing her impatience, although it was of no use.
Retracting his gaze, Luo Ji’s expression was incredibly subtle and complex.
He also understood why Ye Qingxuan was wearing such a light veil hat.
Looking at Luo Ji, whose gaze had returned to her, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly, then gently brushed back her dark hair, revealing the blue diamond earrings she was now wearing.
“Do they look good?”
“They look good.”
Luo Ji replied without thinking.
At this moment, Ye Qingxuan’s attire appeared quite elegant, and that pair of blue diamond earrings served as a perfect finishing touch.
Although he had no strong feelings about diamonds, he had to admit that the earrings indeed looked beautiful on Ye Qingxuan’s ears.
Faced with such a straightforward answer, Ye Qingxuan herself felt a little embarrassed, and her pretty face slightly flushed.
She then quickly forced herself to compose her expression, feigning anger as she asked.
“Answering so frankly, tell me! Have you had many girlfriends?”
“No.”
Luo Ji tilted his head.
“What’s good-looking simply is good-looking.”
Ye Qingxuan, who had been maintaining a serious expression moments before, completely broke her composure.
Her pretty face turned red all the way to her earlobes.
Anxiously, she quickly turned around, facing away from Luo Ji, fumbling to pull down the lifted veil.
Only then did she finally feel a bit relieved.
Rubbing her burning cheeks vigorously, Ye Qingxuan continued to feign composure, saying.
“Enough talk. Put this on. Let’s go quickly.”
