Chapter 22: Time Is Ruthless, Goodbye To Acquaintances (1/4! Please Subscribe!)
The name of the forum is called "Focus Company Third Forum". It should be a small forum created by a small company, suitable for low to middle-level lords to trade and communicate here.
The forum is very lively.
In the era of universal lords, the lower the level, the more lords there naturally are.
Don't be fooled by the long lifespan of high-level lords. The probability of lords "biting the dust" during their growth process is not small, especially for warlords. It is very likely that once they descend into the void, they will never come back!
Even if they can return from "descending into the void," it's a different story for "conquering the heavens."
Most of the fallen lords end up in the Myriad Worlds Hospital.
Among the crowd, there is a small shop with blue tiles, where a man and a woman are selling items.
There are not many customers coming and going, but the two of them are very enthusiastic and constantly greet customers.
Looking at the items in the shop, most of them are "spiritual objects"!
For example, in the cultivation side, there are "Spirit Rice," "Spiritual Ginseng," etc.
For example, in the magic side, there are "Magic Bread," "Elemental Spring," etc.
When Wu Chi came over and looked around, he immediately understood Feng Liuli's meaning of "acquaintance"!
These two men and women are none other than Wu Chi's classmates from "Shenhe High School," Li Bo and Li Wen!
Wu Chi didn't have much interaction with them. At that time, Feng Liuli was still disguised as "Chen Qian," but their relationship was not bad.
During the days at "Shenhe High School," Li Bo and Li Xia were considered good lords in Wu Chi's eyes.
Both of them and their families followed the "farming" route, from farming, planting spiritual crops, to commercial sales, which was completely different from Wu Chi, a "warlord."
But obviously, both of them are not of high rank...
Most "landlord" lords do not level up as quickly as warlords, and their combat power is also worrying.
Only with accumulated time can "landlord" lords unleash their strength and gradually become terrifying.
So in the era of universal lords, there is also a saying that "landlord" lords become more terrifying as they grow older, but Wu Chi has not encountered one yet, and it is unknown whether it is due to good luck.
"Do you recognize me?"
Feng Liuli smirked.
Wu Chi pinched her little face and said irritably, "I'm not senile yet, how could I not recognize you?"
"Li Bo, Li Wen!"
The last sentence,
Wu Chi walked over and greeted them.
The man and woman who were greeting guests looked over and, after noticing Wu Chi, were momentarily confused.
But they were Transcendent beings after all, and after a brief recollection, distant memories surfaced in their minds.
Li Bo had become a sturdy man, his face filled with excitement as he spoke, "Wu Chi!!!"
"Tianjiao Wu Chi..."
Li Wen also looked surprised.
The girl from back then had now become a married woman. She tied up her hair, and her ordinary face showed a hint of weathering.
"Long time no see!"
Wu Chi smiled.
Hearing Wu Chi's words, Li Bo and Li Wen were momentarily at a loss, unable to express themselves clearly.
The guests nearby also looked on with curiosity.
Seeing this, Wu Chi smiled and said, "It's alright, you can entertain the guests first!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Bo and Li Wen nodded and gave up on the warm words, hastily concluding the transaction and hanging up the "Closed for Business" sign, inviting Wu Chi and Feng Liuli inside.
The shop was very simple.
Looking at the somewhat plain small room, Li Bo felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I apologize for the simplicity. The rent for a larger shop in the forum is too expensive, and I can't afford it."
"No worries."
Wu Chi smiled and said, "Don't be too polite."
"Please, come in!"
Li Bo was very nervous. He gritted his teeth and took out a bottle of "Tianshan Spirit Rice Wine" and some "Spirit Fruits" from the shop, placing them on the table.
Wu Chi glanced at them and found that in the shop, this "Tianshan Spirit Rice Wine" was a valuable item and the most expensive.
"..." Wu Chi fell silent for a moment.
This kind of spirit wine wouldn't even be worthy of being served in Supreme Yin City, let alone drinking it. It was considered low-grade.
At this moment, Wu Chi suddenly understood.
In just a few short years, he and his former tablemate had already drifted so far apart.
Should he take out the "Profound Heaven Spirit Wine"?
According to his usual habits, Wu Chi would have already taken it out. On one hand, it would allow Li Bo and Li Wen to enjoy it, and on the other hand, he could enjoy it himself.
As for the other party's face, it was something Wu Chi had to consider.
But this time... he didn't take it out.
He just poured a glass of spirit wine and drank it all in one go.
"It's delicious!" Wu Chi smiled faintly.
Feng Liuli blinked her beautiful eyes and walked over with a charming smile, pouring herself a glass and drinking it.
From the first sip, she knew that this spirit wine was very low-grade, far inferior to what she usually drank in Supreme Yin City.
But she was clever and wouldn't show any contempt. She also praised, "It's delicious!"
"Thank you! Wu Chi, as long as you like it! And thank you, miss!"
Li Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and his initial nervousness and fear diminished by half.
"Wu Chi, congratulations, you're married."
"This young lady is truly beautiful and elegant!"
