《The Adventure of Holy Beast Bai Xiaoli》C31. Ways to Make Money

Long Lan returns to himself immediately, “Yes, I will remember.”
“Now, we need to wait to see if Zhan Feng has found out something and how this case will be dealt with.”
Cang Yan feels a little worried that if Zhan Feng speaks out the truth, the leaders of the College will surely notice Bai Xiaoli. Cang Yan doesn’t want Bai Xiaoli to be exposed to the leaders. What they can do now is to wait only.
The stomach of Bai Xiaoli keeps growling awkwardly “Coo…”
The other three look at Bai Xiaoli simultaneously, Bai Xiaoli looks at them full of grievance.
Long Lan feels a little guilty. He thought that Bai Xiaoli is greedy in his mouth, so he yells every day that he wants to eat meat. He has never thought that Bai Xiaoli’s really hungry.
Now it’s already lunch time. Cang Yan has called the Tianjing Hotel to send take-away of express service.
In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Xiaoli and Long Lan are still the wounded patients, how can they go out lively to have lunch? They will be suspected.
The delivery man is taking a big meal box on his back with another two in his hands; in total there’re three meal boxes. Such a quantity will be quite enough for 30 persons. The delivery man thinks that it’s for a dorm dinner party. When the door opens, he finds 4 persons only and gets a bit confused. But he doesn’t ask. He places the food out one by one patiently, and then leaves with three empty meal boxes.
Looking at the plates placed closely on two long tables, where there’re delicious meat in every lunch box, Bai Xiaoli is incredibly happy.
“Take it first if you’re hungry.” Cang Yan gives his permission. Of course, Bai Xiaoli will not decline, he already starts eating.

Joyce also calls Rovel to come. Now, all five of the team are here.
Bai Xiaoli is a pure meat lover; he can eat meat every day. But Cang Yan and the others can’t eat like that, ’cause neither their stomach nor body can’t stand it. They order some vegetables and rice for eating, all those meat dishes are for Bai Xiaoli.
Long Lan finds one person’s missing and asks immediately without considering, “Where is Sister Ainy? Why hasn’t she come yet?”
Rovel is simple and honest and doesn’t speak a lot. He’s also wondering why Ainy doesn’t come. Hearing Long Lan asking, he also looks at Joyce.
Joyce struggles to smile and says bitterly: “We broke up; she has joined Black God.”
Long Lan and Rovel are first astonished and then become silent. The only one with quality of four stars has gone; it’s a little awkward.
To defuse this awkward situation, Long Lan giggles and says: “Brother, you’re so handsome; it’s sure that you can find a prettier girlfriend. Don’t be upset.”
Cang Yan speaks coldly, “This is the twenty-first time that he is crossed in love.”
Long Lan: “…”
He should never comfort such a person! When did he start to be in love? He has unexpectedly broken up so many times!
Joyce laughs out, “I just can’t find the one who can stop me from breaking up.”
“Wow~, what’s this kind of meat? So delicious!” Bai Xiaoli exclaims untimely.
Cang Yan has a look at that and explains, “This is meat of alien beasts. They come from other spaces. Their meat contains a lot of star power. Eating a lot this kind of meat is helpful for practice. Nevertheless, alien beasts are very dangerous and hard to hunt.”
Bai Xiaoli thinks while eating and says suddenly: “Little Lanlan, the meat of the alien beasts is so delicious; how about we go to hunt some and pull them back? So we can cook it ourselves for eating and don’t have to pay for it.”

A mouthful of rice almost comes out; Long Lan coughs: “Don’t you hear from Brother Cang Yan? The alien beasts are very dangerous. We’re so weak. If we encounter them, we will be eaten up immediately.”
Bai Xiaoli doesn’t change his mind, “So you can stay here. I will go there myself. I also need to find the little rhinoceros for revenge; it has been chasing me for half of a year. I can’t just let it go; its meat should be nice, too.”
“What’s the baby rhinoceros? What does it mean chasing for half of a year? Xiaoli has been chased by alien beasts?” Joyce doesn’t understand.
Long Lan has mentioned it to Cang Yan, but Cang Yan doesn’t know the details. Bai Xiaoli has only said that it’s a “baby rhinoceros”, but he can’t distinguish whether it’s alien beast or mutant beast. Alien beasts come from different spaces, while mutant beasts are indigenous animals of the Earth. After being effected by the star power, they mutated. Alien beasts are much more dangerous than mutant beasts.
Cang Yan says: “It’s a long story; I’ll explain to you after.”
Go out of City for Hunting.

Novos Hitchhiker
Meet the mysterious being that has given itself the name Novos. Once an unfortunate reincarnating spirit on Earth, it has now wandered onto a new world full of magic and monsters. Unlike its previous incarnations on Earth, this time it has awakened, with a jumbled collection of its previous memories of Earth, inside the body of Celestine, a girl with no special powers or distinguishing traits whatsoever. Novos is a hitchhiker, sharing the body with the young girl. Along for the ride, but able to take the wheel when needed. This is the story of Celestine's life as witnessed and influenced by the presence of the foreign spirit. Note: This is a rewrite of a previously submitted fiction I posted here. I rewrote it for NaNoWriMo from memory. Feel free to read what I previously wrote, but significant elements have changed. I am leaving that iteration of the story up un-edited for future reference and for anyone curious.
8 141The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.
8 205Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
