The boss recognized us as regulars and, upon seeing Murong Shanshan, a fresh young beauty among us, he warmly invited us upstairs. We had never received such special treatment before, which made me hold him in a certain amount of contempt. We parked our cars upstairs and took a table by the window on the second floor. The ventilation here was quite good, so it didn't feel stuffy at all.
We split into two tables of seven. Xinyu, Lu Xuehan, Murong Shanshan, and I claimed one table, while the rest went to the other. Xu Lin originally wanted to stay with us, but Li Qing piped up, "They're having a family dinner, Sister Lin, why are you crashing it? Don't tell me you're angling to qualify as the fourth wife?" That caused Xu Lin to blush and scurry away.
I grabbed a bunch of barbecue ingredients from the nearby shelf, requested some charcoal, and got to work. Xu Lin sat right next to us, poked her head over, and asked, "Shanshan, how are you planning to fight tomorrow? Are you going to launch a direct assault on the main city of the City of Lost, or take out the surrounding NPC villages and player territories first?"
