Chapter 166 The Vanished Kazekuri
Chapter 166 The Vanished Kazekuri
After leaving Feng Lixi's boudoir, Su Rui searched the house but couldn't find any trace of the girl. However, he did see the robot butler in the kitchen.
"Hey, where's Feng Lixi?" Su Rui asked.
"Master has gone out on business. She instructed me to cook for you on time every day and to supervise your schedule. If you don't follow the schedule, she will be angry," the robot butler said in a very rigid tone.
"Gone? Where did you go?" Su Rui asked.
"I don't know, this is what she left for you." The robot butler said, handing Su Rui an electronic notebook.
After using the electronic notepad, Su Rui activated it, and a projection appeared in front of him.
"Brother Rui, I have some urgent matters to attend to at home, so I have to leave for a while. I'll be back in a few days once I've taken care of things. In the meantime, Brother Rui, please take good care of yourself," Feng Lixi said to Su Rui through the projection.
"Leaving in such a hurry? Without even saying goodbye..." Su Rui muttered, but this notebook was only for recording videos, and the projected Feng Lixi couldn't possibly answer his questions.
"Brother Rui, wait for me to come back! When I come back, we can be together forever!" The video in the electronic notebook continued to play.
"Damn it, did her family change their minds? What if they don't agree to us being together..." Su Rui frowned. After spending so many days together, he had completely gotten used to having Feng Lixi by his side. Now that Feng Lixi was gone, he felt empty inside.
"Mr. Su Rui, it's time for your meal!" The robot butler approached at that moment.
"Sigh... alright..." Su Rui subconsciously went to the bathroom to wash his hands first. He had been trained in the habit of washing his hands before meals by Feng Lixi.
Sitting at the dining table, Su Rui was somewhat dazed, because usually Feng Lixi would eat with him, but today he was all alone.
"Mr. Su Rui, please eat something. If you don't, your master will be unhappy," the robot butler said.
"Okay!" Su Rui took a deep breath, then picked up his rice bowl and took a bite of food.
"The taste of this food..." Su Rui frowned. The dishes on the table were equally plentiful and nutritionally balanced, and tasted very good, but they were different from what he usually ate.
"Mr. Su Rui, is there a problem? If it's not to your liking, I can change it," the robot butler said.
"No, why does the food taste different from before?" Su Rui asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su Rui, your access is restricted, and I cannot answer this question," the robot butler said. He was just about to answer when Feng Lixi secretly stopped him.
Although Feng Lixi's robot carrier was no longer in the room, as a super artificial intelligence, she existed wherever there was a network and smart devices. It should be noted that Feng Lixi's home was filled with various smart devices, including Su Rui's home. Therefore, Su Rui's every move was under Feng Lixi's attention. However, Feng Lixi had to keep her distance from him now, so she deliberately avoided him for the time being.
"Seriously, this thing has limitations too..." Su Rui didn't know that Feng Lixi had secretly prevented the robot butler from answering his questions, and thought it was due to the robot's settings.
After asking the robot butler a few more questions, Su Rui found that it couldn't give him any answers, so he started eating. Anyway, Feng Lixi said she had gone home, so Su Rui wasn't too worried. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before Feng Lixi would contact him when she got home.
"Sir, you have consumed far too much protein!"
"Sir, your carbohydrate intake has also exceeded the recommended limit!"
……
Like Feng Lixi, the robot butler also started interfering with Su Rui's meals. Although he couldn't control Su Rui like Feng Lixi did, Su Rui knew that it was all arranged by Feng Lixi. He didn't want to upset Feng Lixi, and he also knew that it was all for his own good, so he didn't make things difficult for the robot butler.
After finishing his meal, the robot butler let Su Rui rest for a while before urging him to go home and enter the game.
"If Xiaoxi gets home, she should also enter the game, then we can meet in the game!" Su Rui's eyes darted around, and then he didn't linger at Feng Lixi's house anymore. He returned to his own home and entered the game.
After returning to the game, Su Rui noticed that Feng Lixi's name was grayed out in his friends list, indicating that the girl was not online.
"This girl isn't home yet..." Su Rui muttered. After all, Feng Lixi usually arrived first, even if they logged on at the same time, Feng Lixi would arrive a few seconds earlier.
As a result, Su Rui subconsciously waited for more than ten minutes today, but still did not find Feng Lixi online.
“Her home must be very far away... A big family like that definitely wouldn’t live in a small city like mine…” Su Rui sighed, then stopped waiting for Feng Lixi to come online.
"Brother Rui, I can't be with you every day for a while, but I will watch over you every day!" Feng Lixi was looking down at Su Rui from high above. Although her name was grayed out in Su Rui's friend list, she was actually always in the game. After all, as the system goddess, even when Feng Lixi was with Su Rui in real life, she had an avatar in the game managing the operation of the game.
After calming himself down, Su Rui prepared to go to the Mercenary Guild to accept a mission and then go level up, but at that moment, a guard from Xuanwu City came up to him.
"It's me! The city lord is looking for you!" the soldier said to Su Rui rudely.
"Huh?! Lord City Lord?" Su Rui was taken aback.
"Yes! Come with me!" the soldier said, turning and walking away.
"Oh!" Su Rui nodded and then followed the soldier.
Soon, Su Rui followed the soldier to the city lord's mansion. This time, because it was a summons from City Lord Daril, Su Rui did not receive any obstruction and quickly met City Lord Daril.
"Lord of the City!" Su Rui bowed to Lord Daril, then turned around and found that Marshal Salo was also there.
"You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages!" Marshal Salo said with a smile.
"Alright, now that you're here, I'll get straight to the point!" Lord Daryl still didn't give Su Rui a friendly look. If Marshal Salo hadn't insisted that this mercenary participate in this operation, he wouldn't have waited for Su Rui to come!
