Chapter 298: Hot Pot
After getting away from that group of powerhouses, Li Xiang and Chen Sisi parted ways.
Li Xiang used a Return Town Stone to return directly to the Guild Residence.
The night had completely fallen.
However, the Guild Residence was still brightly lit, with a large number of players still entering and exiting.
The order Li Xiang issued during the day had a huge impact.
The players in the Gods Guild did not want to be surpassed, nor did they want to be eliminated from the Guild. They were all putting in effort to improve themselves.
In the Town Hall, the lights were still on.
Li Xiang walked straight in.
Liu Yunfeng and the others were all there, including the Vice Presidents of the four branch Guilds.
Before Li Xiang entered, they were in intense discussion.
Seeing Li Xiang, they all stood up and looked at him with burning eyes.
"President!"
Li Xiang nodded and sat down in the main seat.
Looking at the eyes of the members, Li Xiang knew what they wanted to ask.
"We'll talk about the World Barrier later. What were you discussing just now?"
Lu Qingshui said, "We were just making adjustments to some minor issues in the current Guild system."
Li Xiang hummed, not asking too much about it.
He was confident in letting them handle these matters.
Moreover, for systematic matters like this, while the general direction was under his control, he couldn't personally oversee every single detail.
"There are still three days left until the Guild defense event ends.
You don't need to worry too much about the World Barrier; large-scale opening is still far off.
The Undead expansion pack will come to an end, and the game process will enter a period of calm, but it's also a period for players to develop."
Li Xiang's words concisely laid out the current situation.
The heavy hearts of the high-level members lightened.
At this stage, starting a national war was indeed not very suitable.
The major Guilds were still in their development phase.
Generally speaking, national wars in any game only appear in the later stages of the game.
"However, this news must be kept secret. Other forces are in a panic now, just causing chaos for themselves. It's a good period for us to continue developing and maintain our lead."
"Yes!"
Afterwards, Li Xiang offered his views on a few more issues before announcing the end of the meeting.
It was already very late, so Li Xiang told them to go offline and sleep.
...
Climbing out of the game pod, Li Xiang let out a long breath and slumped onto the sofa.
He had experienced quite a lot during his time in the game today.
Although the game pod prevented physical issues, excessive mental fatigue still made him feel tired.
Lying there, Li Xiang fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already afternoon.
There were several messages on his phone.
It was from Liu Yunfeng and the others, who were preparing to eat hot pot in the evening and inviting Li Xiang over.
After replying to a message, Li Xiang checked the time. It was almost time.
He went downstairs, drove, and arrived at the apartment building a few minutes later.
The location was in Wang Zhiyan and Lu Qingshui's suite.
Everyone was there, except for Wang Zhiyan.
"Where's Zhiyan?"
Lu Qingshui handed over a popsicle. "Zhiyan is still sleeping. Controlling a battlefield alone in the game consumed a lot of her mental energy..."
"Then let her get some good rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiang's stomach rumbled.
Lu Qingshui looked at Li Xiang, "Li Xiang, you haven't eaten since this morning, have you?"
Li Xiang opened the popsicle wrapper and slumped on the sofa, "I woke up this morning but fell back asleep after sitting for a bit."
Hearing Li Xiang say this, Lu Qingshui clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention. "Let's start cooking!"
Wang Lei heard her words and whined sourly, "Ah! Sister Qingshui, I've been talking for a long time, and you wouldn't let us eat. As soon as the President comes, we can eat... This is really favoritism!"
Lu Qingshui looked at him, "Have you finished washing the vegetables I told you to wash?"
Wang Lei shoved the rest of the popsicle into his mouth in one bite, put on his slippers, and mumbled indistinctly, "I'll go wash them right now! Leng Bing, come with me!"
Saying that, he grabbed Leng Bing, who was lounging on the sofa playing on her phone, and ran into the kitchen.
Liu Yunfeng laughed heartily watching the two of them.
"You're still laughing, are the meatballs ready?"
"Reporting, Vice President, the meatballs are ready."
"Have you sliced the meat?"
"...Uh... I'll go now!"
Liu Yunfeng also joined the busy kitchen army.
Li Xiang watched this scene and laughed.
A group of men really couldn't live well on their own.
You really need women around...
At this moment, Lu Qingshui's gaze fell on Li Xiang.
Li Xiang felt his scalp tingle under her gaze. He shrank back and whispered, "Uh... I... Is there anything I can do?"
Lu Qingshui in reality was completely different from Lu Qingshui in the game.
Lu Qingshui in the game was calm and composed, giving off an unquestionable feeling.
In reality, she had a stunning face and a great figure, but it would be a big mistake to treat her as just a pretty face.
Not only was she highly capable, but she was also excellent at managing daily life...
Hmm... there was still an unquestionable feeling...
Lu Qingshui showed a charming smile, "President, you just need to be responsible for reimbursing the cost of this meal!"
Hearing such a simple request, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem!"
Afterwards, Lu Qingshui began to clear the dining table and prepare to start cooking the hot pot.
At this moment, Wang Zhiyan, wearing a camisole nightgown, rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door. The hem of her nightgown barely covered her private parts, but a hint of pink undergarments could vaguely be seen.
As soon as she came out, she made eye contact with Li Xiang, who was lounging on the sofa.
Hiss...
Wearing something so revealing?
Wang Zhiyan instantly sobered up.
Bang!
The door closed.
Lu Qingshui looked over in confusion, "Zhiyan?"
After a while, Wang Zhiyan changed her clothes and came out. After calling out to Li Xiang first, she walked over to Lu Qingshui, pinched her waist with her small hand, and whispered.
"Qingshui, you little girl... why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Lu Qingshui rolled her eyes at her, "Should I have told you in a dream? Hurry up and wash your face, dinner is about to start!"
Wang Zhiyan nodded, her peripheral vision timidly glancing at Li Xiang on the sofa.
Seeing that Li Xiang was focused on looking at his phone, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He... shouldn't have seen...
Hmm... he definitely didn't see!
...
The hot pot was eaten from four in the afternoon until past six in the evening.
The men drank some beer, and the two girls drank soft drinks.
Then everyone discovered that Wang Lei, this 1.9-meter tall strong man, had surprisingly terrible alcohol tolerance. He just slumped onto the table after drinking only one bottle of beer.
After finishing, everyone helped clean up before returning to their respective residences.
Since Li Xiang had been drinking, Wang Zhiyan drove him back.
After arriving home, Wang Zhiyan started cleaning up Li Xiang's room.
Looking at her busy figure, a smile played on Li Xiang's lips.
With one more child, it would be the image of a harmonious family of three...
Shaking his head, he threw out the messy thoughts in his mind and helped with the tidying.
...
At night, after Wang Zhiyan left, Li Xiang climbed into the game pod.
