CHAPTER 712: CHAPTER 712: GOOD-LOOKING, BUT UTTERLY USELESS

Agatha was all question marks.

"You think Lu Xiao can hear you just by shouting like that?"

He’s a Metal System instructor, living in the Metal System instructors’ dormitory, a few kilometers away from Central Lake.

"All right, I’ll change," the man’s voice came the next second.

Agatha’s brain nearly froze in confusion.

Lu Xiao lives next door?

Next door at Central Lake No.3 Court?

That’s got to be a joke.

Wasn’t Lu Xiao just a regular instructor in the Metal System? And, rumor has it, a gold-plated instructor who got in through connections.

Everyone knows about gold-plated instructors: lacking strength, low ability, in other words, just here to mess around and do nothing.

Gone within six months, three at the shortest, for sure.

Could it be that Lu Xiao has a powerful background?

But that’s not right either. The descendants of big clans in the core area of the Sanctuary would never choose a name like Lu Xiao.

Such a name seemed to only occasionally appear among the commoners on the periphery of the Sanctuary.

Like Chen Fei...

Of course, now Chen Fei has long escaped the commoner class, even the big clans have to greet her with a smile when they see her.

Before Agatha could think too much, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Lu Xiao walked straight in and promptly sat down.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Lu Xiao couldn’t resist sniffing.

Based on the look and smell, it was very good.

To know if it’s truly delicious, well, one would have to taste it.

Of course, what delighted Lu Xiao more was that Chen Fei was finally taking action.

Inviting him to dinner was a great start.

"Hey, could you show a little manners? My Sister Fei hasn’t even sat down yet," Agatha became displeased when she saw Lu Xiao take his seat without any courtesy.

Who cares why you can live in No.3 Court? In my eyes, you’re just not worthy of Chen Fei.

My Sister Fei is Holy Hall Academy’s youngest ever Advanced superpower user and the youngest Vice Department Head in history.

Just last night, Sister Fei said she had successfully passed the assessment and joined the Holy Spirit Guard.

Every single one of these is not something a little instructor like you can imagine or match.

Lu Xiao glanced at Agatha, then looked at Chen Fei with confusion.

"I forgot to introduce, this is my assistant and best friend, Agatha."

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow. So she was the best friend. It seemed that inviting him for a meal owed a lot to this friend’s effort.

But the attitude of this friend seemed a bit strange, as if... she looked down upon him somewhat.

Forget it, no matter, I’ll just enjoy some dishes first.

Lu Xiao picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of braised meat.

The meat probably wasn’t pork, as there seemed to be no pigs here; he had neither seen nor eaten any.

Yet, the taste was about seventy to eighty percent similar to pork.

For a moment, Lu Xiao even became lost in thought.

He felt a pang of nostalgia for the outside world.

Nostalgic for roast duck, roasted chicken, saltwater goose, the games, movies, and scrolling through TikTok outside...

"Lu Xiao, does it taste good?" Seeing him motionless after taking a bite, Chen Fei started to panic.

It couldn’t be so awful it stunned Lu Xiao, could it?

That shouldn’t be the case; she had tasted it herself, and it was reasonably good.

It might be a bit too sweet, but that’s the only kind of braised meat she knew how to make.

"Delicious," Lu Xiao snapped back to reality and nodded vigorously, "Don’t be shy, everyone, let’s eat together, just like you’re at home."

Chen Fei smiled and quickly took her seat.

As for Agatha, her face started twitching.

What did he mean by ’just like you’re at home’? This is literally Sister Fei’s home.

Wow, this guy has some nerve.

What on earth does Sister Fei even like about him?

Aside from his good looks, he’s utterly useless.
