Chapter 204: Chapter 138 Decision_2

Maya said, "Given the circumstances at the time, I would’ve made the same choice again."

Stone nodded, "I can understand your decision," and looked toward Shana for her opinion.

Shana said, "I don’t think it’s a big problem. Lin Wu will understand, it just takes a little time."

Stone said, "I know Lin Wu will understand. His relationship with Maya won’t become bad because of this, but he won’t trust Maya anymore. As I see it, there are two solutions: one is for Maya to communicate with him and explain things clearly. The trouble is that Lin Wu will understand your decision, he knows you have your reasons, but since his thoughts can’t hold up, he’ll give you a perfunctory attitude, unwilling to communicate with you."

Curiosity piqued, Shana asked, "Stone, how do you know this so well?"

Stone laughed, "Who hasn’t been young? Who doesn’t have a bit of rebellion in them? The second solution is to maintain a friendly relationship without seeking a better one. Let Shana go to the supermarket, and you head back to Shadow."

Maya asked, "Lin Wu doesn’t seem to like Shana on patrol with him, does he?"

Stone said, "That’s because the Soulless brother liked Shana, and after her death, he expressed his views in anger. But now the situation is different, Shana has made it clear that she’s not going to fall in love in the game, which was said for the Soulless brother. Just now, as you saw, the tussle between Shana and Lin Wu didn’t cause any discomfort between them."

Shana quickly corrected him, "It wasn’t a tussle, it was a fight."

"Oh," Stone responded perfunctorily with a single word, "Lin Wu knows about Shana’s marriage to Nightmare. Shana is less skilled, so the loss from death is small. Without the Soulless brother stepping in for Shana, even if Shana is a bit inexperienced, he can accept that. He cares more about the atmosphere of the game rather than the outcomes."

Stone added, "The game has only been going on for four months. Shadow has great potential. Maya, you don’t need to sacrifice your principles just to get along with Lin Wu, unless you really care about this friendship."

"Alright then."

...

The three bosses returned to the drinking table, and after a lively round of drinks, Stone said, "Winter is coming, and to prepare for moving into the county city afterward, Maya will return to the Shadow base to conduct systematic offensive and defensive training. In turn, Shana will lead the supermarket base."

Everyone looked at each other, no one felt it was right or wrong. No applause, no questions, there was a moment of awkward silence.

Stone said, "Therefore, we have two matters to handle today. First matter: upgrade the clothing. Second matter: identify the target base and carry out tactical drills specific to that base. I will also participate in this battle. By the way, let me inform everyone that I have officially married Su Shi."

"Wow," everyone exclaimed in disbelief, with Little Knife especially widening her eyes, "You got married while we were not home? No way, do it again, I want to attend the wedding."

Lin Wu immediately chimed in, "Agreed."

Everyone agreed.

Stone said, "We can talk about that later. Let’s start with the clothing upgrades, who’s first?"

"Me." Lin Wu was always the first to raise his hand, then added, "I’m not upgrading."

Everyone was surprised; this was not the Lin Wu they knew. Lin Wu explained, "I think I already look handsome enough."

With Lin Wu not upgrading, who would be the first? Upon entering the production room, Stone bravely took out a basic outfit and handed it to Shana, "A suit." He had already failed twice.

Thirty seconds later, Shana returned the outfit to Stone with regret, another failure. Stone, holding the clothes with infinite disappointment, said to Shana, "Give me Lin Wu’s chance, let me upgrade once more."

"Let’s go," Lin Wu said, pulling Stone from behind.

Stone pleaded, "I was using Lin Wu’s turn just now," but everyone unceremoniously shoved him aside.

Next was Little Knife; she had a basic garment, and without upgrading, she would be unable to leave the house in winter. Seeing Little Knife waiting anxiously, Lin Wu gave her the back of her head a tap, "Inject some luck, guaranteed success."

Before Little Knife could blow up, Shana already brought out a new outfit from the production room warehouse, "Congratulations on the successful upgrade."

Little Knife grabbed Lin Wu’s arm with both hands, excitedly saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lin Wu."

Snow Egg couldn’t stand it, "He’s bullying you."

Little Knife turned with a glare, "Scram."

Snow Egg hung his head in silence.

Snow Egg and Su Shi both successfully upgraded their clothing to level 1.

The remaining people with upgrade rights all had level 1 clothing, including Horse Soul, Shana, Maya, and Lin Wu. Although Lin Wu said he would not upgrade, the chance was still in his hands. Upgrading to level 2 had equal chances for success, failure, and shattering. Level 2 was the ultimate clothing, able to withstand temperatures down to minus 20 degrees Celsius. Level 1 clothing could only withstand minus 5 degrees Celsius.

Of course, there were also two cold-resistant military coats with a rating of 80 in the warehouse, but they were not only ugly but also particularly cumbersome. Seeing no one raise a hand, Shana began upgrading her own clothing.

Shana turned to Lin Wu and warned, "If you try to give me luck, I’m going to fight you."

Lin Wu sheepishly withdrew his hand, caught in the act, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, cursed, "If it doesn’t break when I hit, it will succeed if I do."

At that, Shana was stunned. How could he be so mean? She didn’t realize that Lin Wu was intentionally interacting with her to observe Horse Soul’s reaction. Lin Wu didn’t care about Horse Soul’s thoughts, but he needed a clear understanding of his new comrades, which was why he was deliberately horsing around with Shana. So far, it seemed certain that no one was in love with Shana anymore. Perhaps it was the fact of her marriage to Nightmare, or perhaps it was because she had recently been leading Bai Ban.
