Chapter 144 Strawberry Matcha

This chapter was sponsored by Hab Hak! Thanks!

Holding her chopsticks, Lin Wang Er stared at me with a look of disdain and asked, Really?

Everything is for the future of the studio I spoke righteously.

You tool

Quickly finishing my meal, I sent a grumpy Lin Wan Er upstairs. Then I ran from the campus to the studio. Finally, we had found some new blood. If she was both adorable and pleasing to the eyes, then we would keep her, regardless of her gaming ability. Good men shouldnt be picky eaters.

Since I sprinted the whole way to the studio, I was panting like a dog when I pushed open the door.

Huaa!

Entering with the wind, I saw Wolf quietly sitting in the studios parlor. Sitting in front of him was a girl wearing a milk-white dress suit, a matching beige skirt, a head of long hair, and a graceful disposition. Was this the cute girl that Song Han was talking about?

Since her back was facing me, neither of us could see each others face. When Wolf saw me, he immediately stood: Our studios boss is back!

Ah?

The girl exclaimed in surprise and slowly turned around to face me. All of a sudden, a pretty face which possessed an ethereal beauty was in front of me. With one glance, I had already thought up her scores. A 10/10 face, 9/10 grace, 9/10 figure and what looked to be a 34C, which was quite fitting for her stature. Her gorgeous eyes were luminous and clear, as if dust had never fallen upon them, and sparkled as she looked up at me, part surprised, part excited.

YouYoure the Xiao Yao Zi Zai of Ba Huang City?

Strangely enough, I became quite nervous. Although I had been around Lin Wan Er, who was a beauty herself, this is still the first time I was meeting this girl. Her rating definitely wouldnt be too far from Lin Wan Ers. Deep down inside I was thanking the heavens above. I didnt know why the gods gave our Zhan Long Studio this kind of luck, but to have this adorable girl work here? We would absolutely keep her

Sitting a short distance away, Wolf was about to start drooling at the sight of her. Even Fox, who was normally strong willed, kept sneaking glimpses while computing the studios accounts.

Youre Xiao Yao Zi Zai? She asked once more.

I walked up and held out my hand with smile: My name is Li Xiao Yao and my ID in Destiny is Xiao Yao Zi Zai. Hello!

The girl smiled back, reaching out to give me a handshake. Her hand was soft. HelloIm Xue RouMy Destiny ID is Strawberry Matcha, and, erm, right now I am a Lv 27 Wind Elf Swordsman

Nodding my head, I looked at her and said, Hey, have you looked at our studios hiring requirements?

Yeah, I understood about 40% of it. She nodded her head in affirmation.

I laughed as I pointed at a chair: Why dont we sit down to chat?

Ah, okay. Thank you

Looking at her slowly and carefully sitting down, with a cautious grace, I couldnt help but praise her. What a great girl, why was she applying to work here at Zhan Long Studio? What has the world become

Alright, lets talk I contemplated for a moment and then spoke, What do you hope to gain from our Zhan Long Studio, Matcha, and what do you think you can offer this studio?

Looking at me with a pair of big eyes, Matcha looked both silly and adorable. A small blush appeared on her cheeks as she said: I came for the 3000RMB starting pay. My only request is that the studio can pay me on time each month. As for what I can offer to the studioerm, I can cook, do laundry, and clean. My in-game level isnt high, but I will try very hard to improve that

Looking at her, it was clear to me that she lacked confidence in her gaming abilities, but I laughed and asked: What is your own understanding of a Wind Elf Swordsmen?

Matcha was stunned for a second, her long lashes blinked together a few times before she said, Wind Elves can fly; if it is possible to group together more than 10 Wind Elf Swordsmen, Mages, Healers and so on, it would be possible to cover greater distances and fly over large obstacles to quickly attack. In a battle, Wind Elves are a highly mobile force. They may even be comparable to the mounted Knights that appear later in the game. Even though early on they may be hard pressed by Mages and Archers, later in the game, they will definitely be the main attacking force.

I could not help but nod in admiration, Hm not bad. So Matcha have you PKed before in game? And what is your win rate?

Matchas face blushed furiously once more, On record, Ive only PKed 7 times. My win rate is 0 kills to 7 deaths My control isnt that great; I can never find north and Im really bad at dodging

Wolf Totem became green-faced, Brother Xiao YaoThis?

I nodded and laughed, Its alright. People can be trained to learn game mechanics. Matcha is very knowledgeable in tactics, and Matcha, how old are you now?

23 years old

Uh

I glanced over at Wolf and Old K and said,From now on, you guys call her Big Sis Matcha, dont forget it. Matchas level is a bit low, so think of ways to help her level to a minimum of Lv 40 within the next 3 days. Also, Fox, prepare a few pieces of equipment for Matcha. I want her to at least be wearing a full suit of Silver Tier gear, or else shes going to die too easily while leveling.

Fox and the rest nodded to my commands, Got it!

Matcha got a little excited and abruptly stood as she cheerfully asked, Boss, does this mean youre agreeing to let me join Zhan Long Studio?

I smiled at her and nodded, Yep!

As I spoke, I stood up and held out my hand. Matcha was confused for a second before giving me a handshake. Her hand was as soft as before. I smiled and said, Matcha, Miss Xue Rou, I welcome you to the Zhan Long Studio. From now on, were family, so lets work hard together, build Zhan Long into the best gaming studio in the country, and let the whole continent of Destiny shake upon hearing Zhan Longs name!

Matcha nodded earnestly, Yep, Im going to work hard. And, ermBoss, youre really cool! Give me a signature later, I want to give it to my little sister, she really likes you!

Me:

I opened the China Gaming Teams official website and added a new member to the Zhan Long Studio: Xue Rou, 23 years old, ID Strawberry Matcha, Lv 27 Wind Elf Swordsman. From now on, Zhan Long Studio would officially be a 5-man team, and at a moments notice, we would be able to gather the minimum 5 people required for a world tournament or championship.

As I sat by the window holding a cup of water in hand, Matcha stood at my side hesitating slightly. She asked, Boss, is there anything else you need?

I shook my head, I dont think so oh right, where do you live Matcha? You should come live at the studio from now on; is there any problem with that?

Matcha quickly nodded in confirmation, Okiedoke, no problem. I live at Wen 2nd Street which is pretty close to here. I dont have a lot of belongings either. But Boss, which room will I be staying in?

I glanced at her and said, Since I normally dont stay at the studio, I guess you can sleep in my room.

This Matcha grasped her hand into a little fist. She turned her head around to look at Song Han and the guys, and a slight wariness appeared in her eyes.

I couldnt help but laugh and gave her a pat on the shoulder, Dont worry, even though Ran Min looks really scary, he is really a wolf wearing a sheeps skin Wait no, a sheep wearing a wolfs skin. He is very docile and definitely wont bully you. Plus, youre sleeping in my room, and Song Hans room is right in between you two, and Song Hans character is definitely trustworthy.

As I spoke, I looked at Song Han and softly said, Little Wolf, from now on youre in charge of Matchas safety. If I hear that she ever gets bullied by anyone, Ill rush here within 10 minutes and end you

Song Han laughed aloud saying, Dont worry Xiao Yao, even though the three of us are single, we absolutely wont make a move on one of our own people, not to mention Big Sis Matcha. Well definitely take good care of her.

Hm, if thats so, then good!

Putting down my cup, I asked, Its about time to go back to leveling, what are you guys planning to do in the afternoon?

Ran Min responded, We have it all planned out. This afternoon, were going to Wild Plains to kill Lv 47 Wild Wolves. Leveling this way should be quite fast. Why dont we bring Matcha with us?

Song Han frowned, We have a lot of people, and the monsters levels arent that much higher than ours. If we bring her, Im afraid she wont get too much experience.

Matcha looked at me and dejectedly said, Boss, Ill come back in an hour with my belongings and the game helmet. You guys dont have to help me level, I should be fine on my own

I pondered for a second, Alright. Little Wolf, go with Matcha and help her move her belongings back to the studio. Fox, draft up a contract for Matcha, lets temporarily sign for one year?

Matcha cutely nodded, Mhm. Sounds good.

Me: Go online in an hour. Ill add you to my friends list. Song Han and the guys are busy at the moment, so Ill just bring you with me to train for an afternoon. Lets first try to get to Lv 30 because Lv 27 really is too low now.

Matcha excitedly spoke, Oh Oh, Boss is going to personally help me level up. This is even better! Alright, Im going to go get my belongings!

Okay!

After sending Matcha and Song Han downstairs, I immediately rushed back to Liu Hua University. Ill have to remain near Lin Wan Er or else Lin Tian Nan will notice my absences. I was especially cautious since I would be getting a raise to 50K per month next month. Honestly, this would really help supplement the studios meager income. Just thinking about a monthly salary of 50K made me smile with glee. In the near future I could be a man who is tall, rich, and handsome (in other words, a winner).

3 PM sharp: Went online.

I was Lv 51 with 94% Exp, but temporarily I wouldnt focus on leveling up. Taking out a bunch of equipment from storage, I set up a stall for half an hour as I waited for Matcha to come online. The first thing we need to do when she comes online is to bring her up to Lv 30. Right now she is a member of Zhan Long, and thus her level cant be too low, or else she wont be able to become a part of the main force in the future.

I looked up the ID Strawberry Matcha, but was notified that the player was not online. Thus I returned to selling equipment.

Finally, at almost 4 PM, I looked up the ID again. A DING! sounded as the system notified me that the player was online. I immediately sent a friend request, and a few seconds later, a female Wind Elfs portrait appeared on my friends list. It was the Lv 27 Wind Elf Swordsman, Strawberry Matcha. With a head of long, dark-green hair, and a pair of big eyes, she looked almost exactly like she did in real life. The only difference was that she changed her hair color in-game. As a whole, she still looked refreshing and cute.

Boss! Good afternoon~ She took the initiative to send me a message.

I immediately replied, Matcha, where are you right now in Ba Huang City? Come over to the north gate square, Ill be waiting here. Lets bring you up to Lv 30 before anything else.

Okay, Im coming right now!

Ok, Ill wait for you

After waiting for almost 5 minutes, a pretty Lv 27 Swordsman came out of the bushes outside the city gate. Holding a green colored Green Tier long sword, she ran with her hair swaying out behind her. A pair of stunningly gorgeous legs showed as her gown fluttered from her sprinting. Such a beautiful Wind Elf Swordsman, who else could it be but Strawberry Matcha?
