What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 199

Published at 14th of November 2023 08:05:55 AM

Their daily little life quickly returned to its routine.

Chu Ge spent his days writing and practicing cultivation, occasionally going to the Black Room to exercise with some equipment. It was a simple and monotonous routine.

Qiu Wuji had a lot more activities to do. She bought groceries, cooked meals, read books, watched dramas, managed book reviews and group chats, and occasionally wrote some “main text”. Now, she also had to manage the Weibo account.

The most time-consuming alchemy didn’t need her attention anymore. Once the pills were consumed, she would see a chubby little flame being picked up and looking like a victim while refining the pills.

The recovery process of the little flame’s injuries was slightly faster than expected due to the slight partiality of the Heavenly Dao. However, Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji’s strength growth was even faster, aided by the pills. They managed to avoid the problem of scarce spiritual energy in this world. Their cultivation surged significantly.

Every time the little flame came out, it thought it was almost strong enough to rebel. However, after looking at Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji, its hostility quickly turned into the gentle firelight of a diligent alchemist.

It couldn’t even defeat Qiu Wu Ji’s clone…

They couldn’t determine the true level of Qiu Wuji’s clone; it was too unpredictable…

Qiu Wuji’s self-assessment was correct. She had said that she could stay out for a long time, and indeed, this time she had completely forgotten how long it had been. There were no signs of her not being able to hold on and wanting to go back. She lived her days calmly and leisurely, just like a real modern person.

Chu Ge mentioned at the end of a chapter and in the pinned comment of the book review that he had opened a Weibo account. Soon, the CP fans who had specially come to the book review group shifted to Weibo and spontaneously spread the news. Within a few days, the number of followers on the Weibo account exceeded 100,000, and they were all active followers. It was estimated that there would be more to come.

Chu Ge always felt that he had worked hard for several years, but the readers who enjoyed his books weren’t as numerous as the Weibo followers. People nowadays always look for shortcuts, which makes those who work diligently feel unbalanced…

What kind of content was in that Weibo?

At noon, Qiu Wuji stewed radish and pork rib soup, fried a fish, and stir-fried some vegetables, which was their simple lunch. However, she just snapped some pictures and posted them without any substantive content. In the comments section, people were ecstatic, saying, “Looks so delicious!”

“Brother Chu is really lucky.”

“Wuwuwu, I want a Qiuqiu too.”

“Is that cucumber fish? It looks somewhat like it…”

“I’m feeling hungry…”

Chu Ge felt that they weren’t hungry, they were clearly just bored after eating their fill of dog food.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Qiu Wuji rushing in with her phone, “Hey, don’t move, just maintain that posture as if you’re about to type on the keyboard, yes, like that…”

Snap! Qiu Wuji took a photo and happily ran out again. After a while, a new post appeared on Weibo: “Chu Ge Hard at Work on His Creation.”

The picture was the one Qiu Wuji took of Chu Ge typing on the keyboard.

“Brother Chu looks handsome from the side.”

“Men who work diligently are handsome.”

“Ahhh, one is working hard on his creation, the other is a diligent cook, they’re killing me with sweetness…”

Seriously? I was just looking at Weibo on my PC, silently criticizing you all for being bored after eating too much.

Chu Ge couldn’t help but smile wryly. He felt that Qiu Wuji was quite addicted to this like a game. Now, she even staged a photo shoot for the Weibo account. She had only been playing for a few days, and she was already becoming mischievous.

However, the game he had taught her previously didn’t interest her at all.

When he asked her the reason, she replied, “It’s too fake. In what world does slicing an enemy give you xp at the last hit? And the previous hits didn’t count either…”

“Just because of that? It’s just a game. Just treat it as gaining experience in swordsmanship after delivering a hit.”

“It’s still too fake. The character keeps spinning around, and you can’t stop them even if you want to. They have to keep spinning for a certain amount of time. And when you use a big move, you can’t control who to attack. It’s like a novice out of control. Can he still be called a Sword Saint? Even our lower-level disciples in the sect have better control. Moreover, the Sword Saint only learns two or three moves, is that it?”

“Emmm…”

“And also, why can’t you avoid getting hit by the tower? The mighty Sword Saint, reduced to being killed by the tower? Shouldn’t he be the one chasing others? Why don’t they chase after I attack them? It’s just a tower, right?”

She seemed to have a lot to say…

Looking at Qiu Wuji babbling on about the flaws of the Sword Saint and the tower defense mechanism, even pulling her teammates into the criticism, Chu Ge felt that she had become a qualified gamer – able to criticize boldly and confidently. With this Gatling-like style of a ranter, she could probably handle herself well even when AFK at the fountain…

Able to criticize teammates in chat, able to dive the enemy under the tower, Qiu Wuji is truly a gaming prodigy.

Well, Chu Ge decided to completely give up on helping her improve her gaming skills. Qiu Wuji’s mentality towards gaming is not really about gaming at all; the magical and martial background of the game aligns too much with her own abilities, making it not quite enjoyable for her.

Thinking about it, MM games are more suitable for her. They have more skills, better combinations, and higher freedom. Well, there’s no need to consider this too much. Suggesting that she plays games was just to help her integrate into the online world. If she doesn’t like games, she doesn’t have to play them. Many girls don’t play games and are still modern people.

Speaking of integrating into the online world, now that she’s playing on Weibo, Qiu Wuji seems even more like an ordinary girl. For example, she has more snacks in her room than anyone else, and Chu Ge hasn’t even seen many of them before. All sorts of trendy snacks recommended by her Weibo friends, she doesn’t need Chu Ge to recommend things for her to eat anymore…

Luckily, Qiu Wuji doesn’t gain weight from eating snacks; all that energy is converted into cultivation.

“Chu Ge, Chu Ge, they recommended several Hanfu photos to me, those clothes look really beautiful, should we buy some another day?”

“Buy, buy, buy! Oh wait, no need to buy…”

“Why?”

Chu Ge casually flipped through and suddenly had a set of clothes in his hand. “The attire from that world might not be easy to take out, but we have plenty of regular clothes.”

Qiu Wuji leaned over to look, “This is the uniform of my sect’s low-level disciples.”

“It’s a bit plain, not as fancy and beautiful as the elders and sect leaders… Does the Sect Master not like it?”

“I love it! This is something my boyfriend gave, much better and more beautiful than what they recommended!” Qiu Wuji happily hugged the clothes and then looked at Chu Ge, “You should wear them too!”

“Mhmm.” Chu Ge took out another set of men’s clothing, “This is what you call a perfect CP, right?”

Qiu Wuji happily compared the clothes, feeling like she was like a senior sister or junior brother studying the art with Chu Ge, and the buffs were stacking up again.

“It’s from our own Cloud Horizon Sect, I’m so happy! I’ll pass on the basic techniques of Cloud Horizon Sect to you. With your agility, you’ll be able to pass as a disciple of our sect!”

Chu Ge pinched her nose, “I am already a disciple of Cloud Horizon Sect. The Sect Master herself personally taught me, my seniority is higher, you know.”

“Hmph.” Qiu Wuji pushed away his hand. “They also recommended some daily dishes that look really delicious. I’ll make them for you tonight.”

“Sounds good, sounds good.”

“They said there are some trendy and popular restaurants in Nanjiang, some Instagram-worthy places. We haven’t been to any of them. Should we go check them out?”

“It’s really not necessary. They are just ordinary places with overhyped reputation for publicity and traffic…”

“Oh…”

“But there are some old restaurants. I mentioned to you before, like the hidden alleyway with fish balls. We can give it a try. Actually, some of the trendy places are similar to that.”

Qiu Wuji was quite interested, but also a bit lazy. “But those are in the city, and it’s a bit far. I don’t feel like going.”

Chu Ge then thought of buying a car, “How about we go look at cars?”

“No need.” Qiu Wuji smiled faintly. “Actually, we don’t really need a car. We rarely even use the electric bike. I know you don’t really want to buy a car, you’re just doing it so I can experience various things. But it’s really not necessary. It will just collect dust and be wasteful… We have plenty of time, no need to rush.”

“You’re really thrifty.” Chu Ge rubbed her cheek again and smiled, “Speaking of experiencing things, there’s actually a prelude for that.”

“Huh?”

Chu Ge chuckled, “You can go get your driver’s license.”

Qiu Wuji exclaimed with interest, “Really?”

“You have an ID, and you’re a modern person. You can do whatever you want now. It’s no longer like before, where you needed me to guide you to experience things… ” Chu Ge said, “The reason I asked you to play games before was mainly for the social aspect. You lack connections with various entities in this world. However, games aren’t that important. Participating in learning is a more typical aspect, and getting your driver’s license is a part of learning too.”

Qiu Wuji’s eyes sparkled, “Then I’ll go learn. Mengmeng will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and I’ll ask her to introduce me to a familiar driving school.”

Chu Ge sighed as he looked at the sunset outside the window, “The Sect Master who doesn’t recognize traffic signs and cannot stop cabs, once you go, you might never return…”
