Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 65: Broke

Having learned that Zhao Kai's current location was Greenbird Town, Xu Feng sent a message and asked him to travel to Riverwood Town.

Xu Feng: Can you come over to Riverwood Town as soon as possible. There's no future in Greenbird Town.

With the development of the situation, Greenbird Town no longer held much value. Otherwise, the players who originated there wouldn't have spent so much money and time to migrate over to Riverwood Town.

This was the harsh reality of the Divine World. Just because both are towns, the differences between them are massive.

Alas, the reply from Zhao Kai nearly caused Xu Feng to stumble.

Zhao Kai: I don't think I can travel there. I'm broke.

Xu Feng: Wait, how are you broke? With 10 copper coins given as a starter, the teleportation would only cost you 1-2 copper coins to teleport elsewhere other than your beginner town.

Zhao Kai: About that… I saw some goodies so I purchased some.

'Goodies?' Confused, Xu Feng was unable to comprehend his meaning.

What kind of items caught his eye to spend his entire fortune?

No, the question should be, what kind of good items would cost 10 copper coins only?

Xu Feng: What items did you purchase and what are their stats?

He would really go insane if Zhao Kai purchased some garbage items and wasted his fortune for naught. 'Maybe he found a good bargain and the item was amazing.'

Trying to think positively, Xu Feng patiently waited for a response.

After a few minutes, Xu Feng finally received a response, and the more he read it, the more he wanted to strangle Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai: uhh… about that… I was kind of in a rage when I started, so when I walked through the streets, I smelled some good food. I couldn't control myself and bought a lot, filling my stomach to the brim.

Xu Feng: Is that the reason why you said the game is immersive? Not because of the fact that you can control your body as if you live in this world, but the fact that you can feel your hunger subsided upon consuming food.

Zhao Kai: Yep, sounds about right. Feng, you really know how to summarize my meaning. I give you 3000 likes!!!

"Fuck!!!" Xu Feng suddenly cursed in public, causing quite a commotion in his surroundings.

As most players paused their tasks temporarily, their attention locking onto Xu Feng, he smiled awkwardly in response.

"Haha, I just lost my auction bid." He quickly gave an excuse for his swearing.

Sure enough, the players soon lost interest and returned to their own tasks.

"Tsk, so it's just another loser that lost their bid."

"Heh, I bet he's broke and that's why he lost. There's no way he lost because of the time."

"Haha, just look at his gears and you can tell he's not even level 5 yet."

The players gossiped among themselves regarding Xu Feng's current condition, prompting him to hurriedly leave the scene to avoid being the topic of discussion.

Never once had he lost his composure as much as now!

'This damn Kai is really one of a kind.' Xu Feng twitched his mouth, clearly frustrated by his conduct.

Who the hell blows their entire fortune away from buying food?

Was he really that hungry?

Despite feeling frustrated by Zhao Kai, he also needed to praise the latter for discovering something quite early on.

The fact that he felt full while eating in the game meant that he subtly discovered that the game could affect reality somewhat.

This was not easy to discover despite it being a simple purchase of food and consuming it.

After all, Xu Feng couldn't think of another person who would purchase the game to buy food to consume.

Instead, everyone would be focused on their character stats, missions, levels, and fame.

Finding a discreet location, Xu Feng double-checked his surroundings to ensure no one else was nearby.

'Phew, I actually lost my composure and became a laughing stock.' He smiled bitterly, clearly not expecting his awesome image to be ruined by a few messages from Zhao Kai.

Taking a few seconds to calm his emotions, Xu Feng asked Zhao Kai for his username in the game.

Luckily, unlike before, Zhao Kai managed to respond swiftly.

'Shadow Blade huh? How cringe is this name?' He thought to himself, not realizing his naming sense was no worse than Zhao Kai either.

With the username and the tag that was unique solely to Zhao Kai, Xu Feng sent a friend request to him.

"You should be honored, Kai. So many people want to add me as a friend, but only you managed to be my first." He smirked pridefully.

For the people who had been private messaging him, those didn't count since you don't need to be friends to send a message.

However, Xu Feng was quite positive that most of them wanted to add him as a friend officially. After all, with his extensive knowledge and current resources, only a fool would want to slight him.

Sometime later, Zhao Kai accepted Xu Feng's friend request once he returned to the Divine World, and the first thing he did was video call him.

"..."

Speechless, Xu Feng accepted the video call, which was only available to friends and guild members.

And speaking of guild members, Xu Feng had already left the guild the moment his business with them was done. Had he remained any longer, he was afraid Gentle Wind might pester him to stay a bit longer.

'That woman's eyesight near the end of the raid was akin to a predator. She's definitely trying to poach me into her guild, but how can that be possible.' He exclaimed inwardly, finding the situation humorous.

He was his own boss, but no one else knew that, so it was hilarious to be poached by others from him.

"Alright, speak, where are you?" Accepting the video call, Xu Feng got straight to the point, directly asking for his whereabouts.

Just because they are now friends in the game doesn't mean they could see each other's location. The only thing they could see was whether they were online or not.
