The next day, after the failure to complete the mission at the castle, Su Lan decided to head to town to make friends. Not only did she fail to complete the mission but, she was given more work from His Majesty. Now she had to open a pastry and stainless steel lunch box and water bottle stores. Su Lan felt her ideal lifestyle was getting further away from her.
Su Lan (in her mind): Mini Su Lan crawling on the floor towards her dream life. Tears stream down her eyes while waving a handkerchief and screaming “NO! Don’t go, come back!”.
Su Lan mentions her father regarding her head to town and ends up with a bunch of bodyguards. They could only come to an agreement after Su Lan agreed to his request but have the bodyguards out of sight. She had Mango get her some merchant and commoner clothing. After she finished dressing up she got her handbag and went out.
Once Su Lan headed out she came to a realization. She didn't know how and where to make friends! Su Lan had never had any close friends. Based on her personality she made friends in school and once school ended they no longer contact each other. The Su Lan from this world didn't even have friends!
Su Lan pulled up her info screen and searched: where do you go to make friends in town?
Info Screen: Bar, different associations, and street.
Su Lan:"...."
Su Lan decided to go to the street first. When she found kids around ages 5-10 on the street running around she paused and walked away.
Su Lan (in her mind): Okay, next let's try the sword association.
Su Lan purchased a bunch of snacks and items she found interesting as she walked to the sword association. Once she walked in she saw a bunch of buff men in there. She turned and ran out. Once she got out she started to breathe deeply.
Su Lan (in her mind): My god, it stinks of sweat and blood in there!!!! Okay, next.
Su Lan headed to the magic association. Just like before she went in and headed to the next association. The reason being all the people in there had their nose pointed above the clouds. The next association was the alchemist association. Once she walked in she found everyone to be in their own world. How could she make any friends here if all they can see is their pills and medical ingredients!!!
After she left she walked up to a bench and sat down sighing.
Su Lan (in her mind): Don't tell me I really have to go back to the streets and play in the mud with the kids there. Crying without tears. Where can she go to find kids her age? Or should she head to the bar as the system suggested?
Thinking of all the unreliable locations she went to beforehand. Su Lan decided not to go to the bar.
When Su Lan was zoning out on the bench, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Su Lan looked up, her eyes widened in shock. Prince Jun was there in merchant clothing with two other boys around his age.
Su Lan: Prin....Jun why are you here?
Su Lan stops herself before saying prince.
Prince Jun smiles and the other 2 boys were shocked that she called his name directly.
Prince Jun: "Xiao Lan, why are you here by yourself?"
Su Lan lips start twitching. How can he call her like they are close. She didn't realize she did the same thing. In the modern world she lived in, people call everyone directly by their first name. That is of course if they were talking business would they call some with a personal title (examples: Mr., Ms., Miss. etc.) with their last name to show respect.
Su Lan smiles: "I wanted to come out to make some friends but it hasn't been going well."
Prince Jun: "Where did you go?"
Su Lan: "The Main Street, magic, sword and alchemist associations."
Prince Jun and the 2 boys behind him had their lips start to twitch trying to hold in their laughter. Their shoulders also shook.
Su Lan could tell from their reaction that those were no place to make friends. After thinking about what she saw when she went there she felt speechless too!
Su Lan (in her mind): System you are the one who made these suggestions! Why am I the one being laughed at!
Info screen (pops up): Of course, no one can see me but you. If they don’t laugh at you, who will they laugh at?
Su Lan (in her mind): Do you think this is funny! I tried so hard to find an opportunity to make friends! It was your suggestions that are unreliable!
Info screen: Those are suggestions for a reason.
Su Lan (in her mind): Crows flying overhead.
Su Lan: "Where should I have gone?"
Prince Jun: "You could have come find me. Don't you think I would be a good option for a friend?"
Su Lan (in her mind): What!!! That was an option???!!! She thought she missed her chance already! Then why did she spend all morning running around!!!
Su Lan: "I feel like you would be more of an older brother than a friend."
Prince Jun laughs.
The two boys with Prince Jun were stunned at her response. Everyone knows that Prince Jun likes to run around and cause trouble. He was nothing like a reliable older brother.
Prince Jun: "Okay, you can call me brother Jun from now on. Why do you suddenly come out to find friends though?"
Su Lan: "Ah, I was bored at home and wanted someone to play with. Everyone else is always busy."
Prince Jun: "You didn't seem to have any problems with that before."
Su Lan: "I didn't, but I got bored of being by myself only (pouts)."
Info Screen: Bored..yup.. keep acting.
Su Lan (in her mind): I didn't want to either!!!!
Prince Jun and the 2 boys (in their mind): Cute!!!!
Su Lan thought back to the system mission and pondered what to do going forward. The more she thought about it the more upset she got. She was told that her mission was just to stay alive before! Now she has to take on a weird mission that was out of character for her! Can they be more unreasonable! Only if she knew that not so far in the future her missions would be even more unreasonable. Su Lan brought up the info screen again and looked at the mission. As if the system knew what she had thought there was new information on it. Mission 1 Go and make some friends outside of the manor. Get invited to their home and find out ..... will tell you when you get there.
Su Lan glared at the pink crystal charm bracelet to a point the store owner thought she had some problems. The store manager gulped and stepped back 3 steps. Su Lan turned and looked at the store manager. The store manager tripped and fell on his bottom. Su Lan realized what type of expression she was making and quickly changed her expression back to her expressionless face. She didn't realize the store manager got even more frightened thinking how the girl who just entered was going to silence him. She looked at him like he was a dead person. First, she enters like someone owes her a million dollars and then turns to give an icy death glare. Su Lan finally spoke when she saw the store manager on the ground dripping in sweat. Su Lan (in her mind): This person doesn't
Su Lan stood there thinking who would play the hero that saves the day. Who was the blind person who stole her punching bag! She was shocked once again when she saw who came in. The person who came in the door.... was a 60 year old man with a buff bodyguard. Su Lan froze and thought why is it that when other people write the plot it is always a handsome guy who comes to save the day and when it her turn it is an old man?! This isn't how the plot should have gone! Su Lan saw the old man walking up to the fat man like a gangster demanding him to pay up his debt? Do elderly nowadays also become gangsters? What with the mismatch in appearance and the way he acts! Su Lan turns her head away. She felt her eyes being burned. There isn’t a punching bag anymore at
Su Lan got up and headed out the city gates. She felt more than four people following her as she left the city. She walked and ran into the forest. As she lost the people following her. She asked the bling bling bracelet how she would know where her clone is when she wants to head back. Bling Bling Screen: There is a GPS tracking function and an automatic transfer function. Su Lan: So for the automatic transfer function I can be where the clone is? Will the clone still be there if I transfer over? Bling Bling Screen: Yes. No. Su Lan: Are there other functions? Bling Bling Screen: There is also a camera function so you can see wh
Su Lan ends up going with Yu Leng and his bodyguard to explore the forest. She didn't know what to do after coming out of the city. Since she is already out, she might as well take a look around. Su Lan collected medical herbs along the way and planted them in her secret garden world (jade bracelet). To plant the herb, she only needed to dig out the plant with the roots and throw it in the jade bracelet. The plant will be automatically sorted in the right area and planted.Su Lan never had a chatty character. She would only speak when spoken to most of the time. As for speaking with strangers it was only done when necessary. To Su Lan it was already out of character that she spoke to Yu Leng. Yu Leng was the one who had spoken most of the way. In the end, Su Lan finally knew why Yu Leng was in this realm. Although she wasn't sure if what he s
Su Lan (in her mind): Okay, I guess it wasn't a lie. Even with Pom Pom cute and harmless appearance he is still a legendary beast.Yu Leng and the bodyguard who heard Pom Pom and Su Lan speaking to each other were shocked. Even though a high level beast can speak, how can it easily defeat a beast who is as powerful as a middle level beast in the higher realm!!!???Su Lan felt the intense stare from both of them, looked up and pressed Pom Pom head down. She then gave them a clueless look like she didn't know what happened.Yu Leng coughed trying to make his facial expression back to normal.Su Lan: "Okay, stop looking at us with those expressions!"Yu Leng: "No, it's just I didn't expect this to happen."
Miss Mo was dragged away by her brother. He left while glaring at Yu Leng. Elder Mo glanced back at Yu Leng and Su Lan before he left.Su Lan patted her chest and thought “thank god I covered my face before we bump into them.. They wouldn’t know it was me even if they met me later.”Su Lan suddenly remembered Yu Leng’s words from before when Miss Mo called her a servant.Su Lan (in her mind to her system) So we are already friends? Was making friends this easy? So that’s what Lovepancake from the food blog meant by naturally making friends? How come something doesn’t seem right?If the info system could it would give Su Lan a look asking if she was brain damaged.Info system: No
Su Lan couldn’t resist and walked up to Yu Leng and whispered, "are they near here?" Yu Leng knew she was talking about the sleazy old man…Elder Mo and the Mo siblings. Yu Leng: "Yes, right behind the tree 5 meters away from us." Su Lan frowns and whispers, "Do we still go in?" Yu Leng frowned and said, "It would be troublesome if we are attacking the monsters and they come and take what we need." Su Lan looked at Pom Pom. Should she have Pom Pom slap them down? Pom Pom looked up at her at this time. Its eyes looked wide as if saying “Master, why are you looking at me?” Su Lan converse in her mind with Pom Pom.
Su Lan wasn’t interested in this cultivation technique and decided to explore the room. This room was actually really beautiful. Su Lan (in her mind): If you take away the statue it would be even more perfect. The theme of the room was a lake and forest. The statue stood in front of a waterway designed as a lake with green and blue stones making the lake blueish green. There were many trees and colorful flowers all around the lake that filled the whole room. A swing with vines wrap around the ropes. Before Su Lan had more time to look around, she heard some movement behind her. Su Lan turned around and saw that Yu Leng had opened his eyes. Su Lan walked back toward Yu Leng and he lifted his face to look at her.
As Su Lan tried to brainwash herself, Su Ling grabbed a paper and pen and started writing. Su Lan saw Su Ling fast and precise movements, as if he did this 100 times, quietly turning to face the door once again. Su Lan (in her mind): No one here understands English. Even if I read it emotionally no one will understand. After gathering up her courage, Su Lan started her emotional reading performance. She gathered up her emotions and made a starry eye expression. Lift up her head and put her hands together as if praying. In a tone full of admiration and trust she repeated the words on the wall. “Dear great (50x) grandfather you are the bestest, greatest, smartest, most amazing great (50x) grandfather ever! Please open the door for your cutest
Before Su Lan had any time to react, the medical god started his speech. Just like before, this image was just a projection of him speaking. As his carefree voice sounded out Su Lan by conditional reflex wanted to punch someone.Medical god: “Dear great (50x) granddaughter you are finally here. If you want to ask how I know it is you and not someone else. Hah, I am god of course I know. Then let’s continue, only those with my bloodline and jade bracelet will be allowed here. Once you arrive the jade spirit would help you get the island. The jade spirit should have told you I took the island for a surprise. What was the surprise? It was the baby fiery unicorn outside protecting this cave. I chose the most healthy and strongest combat power foal for you. This way it will be strong and you should be able to fight it. Coming into this world what better companion can you get then one you can raise, ride and fight. Good luck on the journey! After all, I left a lot of missions to relieve you
Su Ling: “For other people to level up from magic/sword to cultivation at the lower realm is impossible but, for you it is possible. The reason is because before your soul merged with your body over here. The body here was originally a cultivation body. Once you merge your soul together your body transforms causing your cultivation body to contain elements. The elements are considered as magic. Su Lan: “I see so only I can go directly to cultivation?” Su Ling: “Right and wrong.” Su Lan: “???” Su Ling: “All cultivators born in the higher realms can directly cultivate. For the lower realms because the spiritual qi level in the lower realm is too low they are unable to directly cultivate. In the higher realm because of the dense spiritual qi even without cultivating their body will automatically absorb spiritual qi. By absorbing spiritual qi the body will be stronger and veins will be wider. The lower realms first learn magic or sword is to slowly build a stronger body and transform
Su Lan: “Pom Pom what did you do this time?” Pom Pom's head was also stuck to the ground and butt was facing up. Su Lan turned to Su Ling. Su Lan: “Su Ling what happened?” Su Ling turned to look at Pom Pom and started to speak. Su Ling: “While you were distracting the beast Pom Pom was busy looking at the fight while cheering on in the back. Completely forgetting to get close to the beast.” Su Lan: “So how was the beast captured?” Su Ling: “I had to come out to capture the beast.” Su Lan turned to Pom Pom and sighed. Su Lan (in he
Su Lan really wanted to bonk Pom Pom on the head with a pillow.As to why she chose a pillow and not a book…Su Lan (in her mind): Who in the right mind can hit such a cute fluffy ball! All fluffy items that can act cute are illegal!Su Lan: “Pom Pom, I will distract the unicorn and you try to touch it at the fastest speed.”Su Lan turned to Su Ling.Su Lan: “Su Ling, when Pom Pom touches the beast can you help him pull it in at that moment? Pom Pom is too airheaded and playful.”Su Ling nodded his head agreeing to what Su Lan said.Su Ling: “As long as Pom Pom can touch it. I will pull the be
Su Lan opened the Bling Bling screen and looked at the completed mission rewards again.Mission 2 part 1 reward: Able to customize Bling Bling appearance according to your preference. Mix and match to any of your clothes!Mission 2 part 2 reward: Increase the rate of accomplishing tasks but pay a simple price for every accomplishment.Mission 2 part 3 reward: Open a beast raising field for your new captured pets in the secret garden!!Su Lan's eyes landed on the last reward. She pondered for a while before she spoke.Su Lan (to Bling Bling): “For mission 2 part 3 the reward was to open a beast raising field for new captured pets in the secret ga
Su Lan and Pom Pom finally got a good view of the beast that was chasing them. Before all they saw was red beast hooves. Then after was Pom Pom taking a chomp on a hoof waking up the beast. Then they started running for their lives. Su Lan looked at the fiery red unicorn. Yup it was a unicorn. The mane and tail were made with flames. The horn was like ruby. The hooves looked like red crystals with flames burning. The body was brownish red. The most unbelievable thing was in front of this beast Su Lan’s height only reached up to the top of the hoof. Su Lan saw the part where Pom Pom had bitten had already been restored. Su Lan turned and saw that Pom Pom ha
Behind the tree, the Mo siblings were speaking to each other.Miss Mo had woken up and had used a healing pill to heal her face. The only thing was her front teeth were still missing.Miss Mo: "Why didn't you guys tell me?!"Her brother wanted to comfort her but the image of his sister made him wince.Currently she was speaking unclearly with wind breaking in as she spoke.Young master Mo lips twitched at the sight and replied.Young master Mo: “Xiao Jing, it's not that your brother didn't want to tell you. We didn't know how to tell you. Even if we told you nothing would change.”*Note: Miss Mo’s name is Mo Jing. You
