Qiu proudly pull out that coupons to show off his achievements to Xing. His eyes and expressions practically saying 'Aren't I awesome. Praise me, praise me, praise me'
Xing who caught the meaning behind that gazes immediately clapped his hand enthusiastically and giving him a thumbs up.
"I knew it, only Qiuqiu can do this. No one else can do it as perfectly as you. Qiuqiu is very great đź‘Ť đź‘Ť đź‘Ť. Good job."
Qiu satisfiedly nodded his head hearing that praise, his eyes crinkled as he smiled, while saying playfully.
"You really knows what to say."
Qiu suddenly remember the question he intent to ask Xing before,
"A-Xing, can I know how do you get this system? And why it want to bind with us so desperately?"
Xing was not surprised by Qiu questioning at all. He knows Qiu is not someone who like to bottled up his thoughts or feelings.
But, as for the answer to that question...
"Qiuqiu, I can only tell you that the system has been with me the moment we arrived here. As for the specific detail regarding the appearanced of this system, I cannot tell you. Can you forgive me?"
Xing can only said that. He really didn't want to lied to Qiuqiu.
Qiu nodded understandingly,
"Alright, I know. A-Xing, it is not the first time something like this happened, I told you before to just told what you can, don't need to apologize to me. Don't you understand, humm?"
Qiuqiu replied while teasingly tapped the tip of his nose.
Qiu has grown up alongside Xing, so it is not exaggerated to say that he knows A-Xing inside out. Xing also didn't deliberately hide his uniqueness.
When something similiar happened before, Qiu can accept it easily, so he have no reason to not accept such explanation now.
For Qiu, as long as Xing didn't leave him, he can accept however many secrets Xing have.
....
"What's your plan next, A-Xing?" Qiu ask curiously.
"We will go shopping ahh~" Xing replied with his cute voice.
Qiu let out a quiet huff of amusement before saying indulgently, "Shopping it is then"
He immediately brought out the system from his consciousness space.
The system was still wallowing in self-pity when all of a sudden it was brought out by it's host.
While feeling confused, he look up to saw 2 people looking at it.
Feeling suprise, it want to let out a scream but Qiu said, "I will lock you up in dark room if you scream."
This sentence successfully made the system swallowed back it's scream. Saying that it will definitely not do that.
System: "Host, do you need something?"
Qiu nodded simply: "Open the exclusive mall for me. Ohh A-Xing can see that mall right?"
The system blink it small round eyes, while glancing at Lord Huang, saying: "Yes, host. Both of you is in contractual relationship, so Lord Huang can see and use me just like you host."
Qiu: "That's good then"
He waited for the system to open the mall, but after a few seconds, nothing appear.
Qiu said exasperatedly, rolling his eyes: "What are you waiting for? Open the mall!
System: "Oh oh oh, o-open the mall. I have open it, here it is, host."
A light screen materialize in front of XingQiu. Looking at this screen, both of them saw 5 colouful items marked with the word Unique Supreme in the grade section. Below, the original price of I billion was scratched, replaced by a new price of 100,000 spirit crystals and marked with 99.99% discount.
Seeing these, both of them has expression of as expected. But the system who saw such things for the first time was so shocked that it's small eyes almost popped out.
'H-how c-an this be, no way...thi-s, what happened? Is there a bug or what? No, how can there is bug in my system.'
It stare at both of them in disbelief. Suddenly, it thought of something, 'did Lord Huang do something?
Noticing that suspicious gaze, Xing said unhappily "What are you looking at?"
This prompted Qiu to look at the system as well.
The unfriendly gazed directed to the system makes it nervous and defended itself right away.
System: "No host, i didn't mean anything by that. Umm...I just want to ask you something...Did host know you will get these (gesturing at the screen)."
Qiu said sarcastically "Huh, you better not!
Then, with an arrogant mix with a hint of mischief voices, he said,
"Of course. Don't you know your own host, you yourself said that I must be an extremely lucky person, right? Say, aren't I, your host lucky? Hhmmm?"
The system immediately flatter it's host.
"Right! How can my host be ordinary person with mediocre luck? Someone majestic like host deserve the best, not worthy of getting the low level items in the shop at all. Hehehe..."
"But host aren't this too...lucky, how can all five items was of the highest rank and discount." Timidly added by the system.
"Why not? What? Never seen before? Your previous host never got this?"
Seeing it nodding it's head, Qiu said disdainfully,
"Your host can't get such things only proved that they aren't lucky enough. Instead of wasting time shooping here, why don't they go back and increased their luck first."
System, "..."
'ughhh...sorry my ex-host, you are being disdain for'
'at least not me'
The system watch as both host and Lord Huang go back to browsing the mall, daring not to disturb them again, it quietly retreated back into the system space.
....
"A-Xing, I think we can buy this first. Very useful to quickly accumulate resources. What do you think?"
"Um! Qiuqiu is right, just buy this...as for the others... it's not too late to buy all these after we come back from the expedition."
Xing has agreed, so without delay Qiu buy the thing they spoke of.
With a few move of his long fingers, he successfully bought a Unique Supreme item using one of the coupons they got.
Opening the lord panel he went to the lord information section. There is an extra information added there.
[Affix: 100,000x Amplifier (Unique Supreme)
Effect: Anything you obtained will be amplified by 100,000x. ]
The effect is simple but powerful, it's practically broken.
Glancing at the affix, Qiu felt satisfied. Their newbie lord trial seem destined to be leisurely to the extreme, with no worry money and resources.
And getting such thing easily, the credit definitely goes to...
"A-Xing, I have said before, your talent is practically a divine help. Did you agree with me now?"
"Qiuqiiiuuu, why are talking about this again?" Xing cannot say anything to refute that, so he immediately play dirty.
He buried his head in Qiu shoulder, while closing his ears with his hand, saying he didn't hear anything and ignore everything. Only his head was burying deeper into the crook of Qiu shoulder.
Qiu was amused by Xing's behaviour. Of course, he won't let Xing go easily (who ask him to be so cute), continuing to tease him.
He brought his mouth close to Xing's ear, whispering "A-Xing talent is the most powerful, did you agree, hmm? If you don't say anything, I will take it as you agreed with me."
Xing qiuckly said no, while still did not get up from Qiu's shoulder and closing his ears.
Qiu was getting cuteness agression with Xing, unable to help himself, he softly pull Xing into his embrace, making him sit on his lap.
Being handle like that by Qiu, Xing still did not get up from Qiu shoulder, only adjusting his sitting to be more comfortable.
After Xing finished, Qiu continue to whisper more to Xing, "Ohhh, you can hear me"
Xing did not respond to that,
Qiu tighten his arm around his waist, while smiling broadly, because he knew he will win this time.
"A-Xing, you lose already, hm. Xiaobao, say something, say I'm right, okay?"
"Xiaobao, my xiaobao, my little baby, you lose."
Xing was quiet for a moment hearing that, 'using my weakness again, not fair' -said by someone who is also not playing fair earlier-
In a small voice, so small that only Qiu who hold him, can hear he said, "Qiuqiu's right. You win." Then add "For now."
Qiu smile satisfiedly and proudly hearing that, "You said so yourself. No going back on your word." He didn't care at all for Xing's word at the back, at worst they can compete again later. Let's see who will win and who will lose. The most important thing now is he win.
Qiu happily hugged Xing, while absentmindedly stroking his back.
Xing finally emerges from Qiu neck, instead he hug Qiu's neck, also smiling gently to Qiu.
Just like that, they enjoy quiet moment together for a while.
