Chapter 123 The Girl's Emperor Engine Roars
Wang Xi didn't actually call the Bureau of Overlooking Affairs; he was just pretending to use his phone.

But Chu Nai finally couldn't hold back and broke down.

“How embarrassing…”

She sat on the bench, covering her face with her hands, her voice barely audible.

Her ears, peeking out from between her silver hair, were bright red.

Wang Xi had already figured out that this girl had probably read some so-called "formula guide" online, but unfortunately her acting skills were too poor, resulting in a complete disaster.

It's like watching two days of tutorial videos from professional players and feeling incredibly strong, creating the illusion that "Diamond and Challenger are nothing but ordinary players."

It's not fair to say they underperformed; it's just that there's room for improvement.

perhaps.

Chu Nai possesses extraordinary wisdom when it comes to love.

Faced with this situation, someone with low emotional intelligence would offer comfort. But Wang Xi didn't do that; he had high emotional intelligence.

"Xiao Nai."

Wang Xi pulled Chu Nai's wrist and saw half of her flushed cheek below—the girl's eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she had an expression of utter despair.

She didn't speak; she didn't dare to speak.

He was afraid of being laughed at by Wang Xi.

However, the other party said with great interest:

"There's a carousel over there, let's go ride it."

"Hmm?" Chu Nai quietly opened one eye and found that the young man was turning his head to look at the amusement facilities not far away.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Brother Xi didn't mention that incident at all.

Chu Nai nodded and obediently stood up, then was pulled by Wang Xi towards the carousel.

Today was a weekday, so there weren't too many tourists, and the two of them were able to get on the carousel without even having to wait in line.

"Don't you think this is childish, Brother Xi?"

Chu Nai sat sideways on a white horse, gripping a metal tube with both hands, and asked curiously.

"It might seem a bit childish to young children, but it's just right for us adults."

Wang Xi rode on his black horse and said in a serious tone.

"Incidentally, it can also make up for the youth that has been consumed by studying and working."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nai smiled sweetly.

If she were to do this activity alone, she would definitely not be interested. But if she were with her brother Xi, even the most ordinary little things would become vivid and interesting.

Not a moment.

The carousel had already gone halfway around, but Chu Nai lowered her head, her expression somewhat strange... as if she wasn't quite used to the up-and-down jolting.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xi asked.

"It reminds me of the horse-riding games we played when we were little..."

Chu Nai blushed and whispered.

Wang Xi was stunned upon hearing this.

When the girl mentioned it, he remembered.

The two did play a horse-riding game when they were little, but Wang Xi was the horse and Chu Nai fell on her bottom and cried her eyes out.

Later, Wang Xi suggested that the two of them take turns riding, but Chu Nai did not agree.

Thinking of this, Wang Xi thought to himself, "Good heavens."

You started eating shrimp heads when you were so young?

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It seems that Brother Xi has loved riding horses since he was a child, and he still does it now that he's grown up."

Chu Nai smiled and said.

“When I was studying in Dongzhou, I saw that the Sky Dome Group built a large horse farm there, with real horses that you could ride... Once I've saved enough money, I'll take you there to try it out. I believe you'll be able to learn very quickly with your skills.”

"Okay." Wang Xi chuckled.

He certainly wouldn't say that his horsemanship was actually very good, as that would spoil Chu Nai's mood.

beep.

Just then, Chu Nai's phone vibrated.

She took it out and glanced at it, her smile fading, but she quickly returned to normal and put the phone away again.

"Work?" Wang Xi asked.

"Hmm." Chu Nai smoothed her hair and nodded. "It's not a very important official matter, and there are new documents that need to be organized... It's okay, I'll deal with it tomorrow."

Wang Xi knew she was lying, but he didn't call her out on it.

beep.

At this time, the phone rang again.

Chu Nai was taken aback.

But it was Wang Xi's phone.

"..."

He took it out and glanced at it.

It was a message from Bai Qimeng, saying that her villa was quite big and that he was welcome to come and play. He could sleep when he got tired, no problem at all.

Inside, there are swimming pools, sports fields, racetracks, game rooms, figurine rooms, and more. You can drive any hovercar in the garage.

Everything you could want to eat and drink was provided, along with beautiful robot maids to choose from, and top-notch massage techniques to ensure Wang Xi would feel like he was flying.

Damn capital, it's trying to corrupt my pure mind and body once again...

no way!

Wang Xi, filled with righteous indignation, replied as quickly as possible: "Not today."

After sending the message, he casually put his phone back in his pocket.

Chu Nai stared at him suspiciously and asked:

"Brother Xi, who is he?"

“A friend,” Wang Xi replied casually. “I was recently transferred to the miscellaneous items department as a butler, and I took on a dungeon-running assignment, which is how I met the client.”

"oh oh."

Chu Nai nodded.

She glanced at the young man again and asked:
"Very rich? Beautiful?"

"Rich!" Wang Xi said very seriously. "Extremely rich!"

"Oh……"

Chu Nai responded softly.

"So she's very pretty, right?" She seemed to understand the unspoken meaning, her eyes lowered, and she smiled slightly. "Brother Xi, could you introduce me to her?" "No." Wang Xi decisively refused. "Absolutely not."

Chu Nai narrowed her smiling eyes and looked over.

Wang Xi felt a chill run down his spine for some reason, so he leaned closer and lowered his voice, speaking in a tone as if telling a ghost story:
"She likes women..."

"what?"

Chu Nai looked surprised.

Wang Xi pointed to his head again, sighed, and shook his head gently.

The girl nodded as if she understood, and the unease that had just risen in her heart vanished instantly.

...

...

After riding the carousel, the two went on several other rides.

As Wang Xi passed by a row of snack shops next to the artificial lake, he bought fried chicken, Mozi soda, and grilled squid, and ate and strolled around with Chu Nai.

Prices in this amusement park are outrageously high, three or four times more expensive than outside. A bottle of Demon Soda costs 20 credits.

Damn capital!
He took a big bite of the squid tentacles and cursed under his breath.

"Brother Xi, let's go play that!"

Chu Nai suddenly saw something, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Wang Xi and ran over—it was a shooting activity.

So many years have passed, it's already 2045, and this thing is still a fixture in the amusement park. Toy guns shoot balloons to earn points, which can then be redeemed for prizes.

Wang Xi glanced at the prize cabinet to the side, which displayed building blocks, dolls, puzzles, a screaming chicken, basketballs, and other inexpensive items.

But since Chu Nai liked it, he didn't care. He paid 100 credits in exchange for a toy gun and 50 water bullets from the puppet shop clerk.

His gaze lingered briefly on a row of black cat plush toys, intending to exchange for one as a gift for Chu Nai.

But Wang Xi overestimated his marksmanship.

The shooting position was more than eight steps away from the balloon target platform, and nine out of ten shots missed, which made Chu Nai giggle beside her.

"If the assessment for professional bravery includes marksmanship, you definitely won't pass, Brother Xi."

The young girl was delighted.

"There's something wrong with this gun!" Wang Xi said angrily, pointing at the toy gun in his hand. "Its trajectory is off to the left!"

"Huh? If it's too far to the left, just aim a little to the right."

"No, I've tried it, if I aim to the right it goes off to the right."

"That's strange?" Chu Nai asked in surprise.

"Yes, so it's not my fault for being inaccurate; it's the gun's fault."

Wang Xi made a solemn vow, yet secretly pondered:
"The boss definitely doesn't want customers to just pick it up and use it freely, because that way he can make more money."

"Brother Xi, shall I give it a try?"

Chu Nai hesitated before reaching out her hand.

Wang Xi handed the toy gun to her.

The silver-haired girl, holding a toy gun, suddenly changed her demeanor, exuding a chilling aura as if she were on a battlefield.

Her blue eyes were fixed on the balloon target, and then she pulled the trigger.

puff!puff!puff!
One shot pops a balloon, every shot hits its mark.

Wang Xi: "...?"

After a while.

The young man walked down the street, carrying a bunch of black cat plush toys in his arms. Chu Nai followed silently beside him, her hands behind her back.

"Brother Xi, is that enough?"

She spoke cautiously.

“I noticed you were staring at it a lot, you must really like it, right… It’s just a shame there are only this many left in the prize cabinet.”

"..."

Wang Xi didn't understand.

Why is my marksmanship so bad when my crossbow skills are so superb? Could it be that "Blood Orchid Elegy" only enhances crossbow skills and doesn't even have the effect of improving other skills?
Wild cards are not such inconvenient things!
No skill!
"I like it." What else could Wang Xi say but nod with a smile? "Thank you, Xiao Nai."

"You're welcome." Chu Nai smiled, unable to contain her pride. The so-called fifteen-character motto was no match for her own impromptu remark. "I'm glad Brother Xi likes it."

"Give."

Wang Xi took a black cat doll from his pocket and handed it to Chu Nai.

The girl looked at him, puzzled.

"I'm reluctantly giving one away to you. With it, your work will go smoothly, you'll be happy every day, and you'll get promoted and make a fortune."

"Huh?" Chu Nai hesitated. "But I don't remember black cats having that kind of saying..."

“Yes,” Wang Xi said seriously. “The ‘Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang’ records that ‘black cats ward off evil’. Black cats are believed to be able to ward off rat infestations and dispel evil spirits. In the folk legends of Shimabara Country, the prototype of the lucky cat, ‘Thin Cloud Ink,’ is a black cat, which merchants regard as an omen of wealth.”

"Brother Xi, you know so much..."

Chu Nai hugged the doll tightly, looked at him with smiling eyes, and spoke with a charmingly adoring tone.

"Then I'll have to treat it with great care."

...

...

The night was as dark as ink, and the neon lights were like stars.

Wang Xi and Chu Nai were standing side by side in a small gondola on the Ferris wheel, looking down at the outside world through the window.

The myriad colorful lights of the Ark Carnival flowed beneath my feet, all melting into the slightly blue night sky, like an overturned jewel box.

The gondola slowly ascended, Chu Nai's face pressed against the glass, the white mist from his breath spreading out in a small, hazy patch on the window.

Wang Xi suddenly realized that the light reflected in the silver-haired girl's eyes was brighter than any other night scene.

"Brother Xi, have you forgotten something?"

At this moment, Chu Nai turned her head slightly and looked at him with a half-smile, saying something.

"What?" Wang Xi asked knowingly.

"Here's why I won the 'Ark Carnival Runaway Princess Beauty Contest'!"

Chunai hummed.

Wang Xi withdrew his gaze and stared into the girl's eyes.

The reason is—

After a brief pause, he chuckled softly:
"Because you look really beautiful today."

Chu Nai was stunned.

The screams of tourists came from the roller coaster in the distance, but at this moment she could only hear the deafening pounding of her own heart.

—Like the roar of an engine.
