Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 148: Occupation of Nine Heavens, System Levels Up

Su Wu was still in a dazed state even after they had arrived at the cafe. The phone in his pocket rang, which prompted him to answer the call. The voice on the other end of the line sounded like his mother. Only a couple of words were exchanged before he hung up the call.

Shortly after doing so, he looked up at the young girl sitting across the table with a pure look of disbelief painted across his face.
“Y-You really are the ultimate god?”

Gu Xiqiao held up her chin with her pale, delicate fingers. “Do I not look like one?”

Did she not look like one? She flew under his radar from the very moment they met for god’s sake!

Although the player ‘For A Millenium’ identified as female in the game, her skills meant that a great deal of other players treated her with respect, as if she was a tough guy. On the other hand, real girls who play the game typically would suck up to other stronger players; no way in hell could there possibly be a female player like her, right?

If the in-game party was to know about this, they would undoubtedly all go insane!

“You know, I’ve always thought that you were a dude who’s ten times more macho than I am.” Su Wu was thoroughly dumbfounded. The difference was way too big for him to comprehend. Maybe things would be less confusing if she was any other girl. But for her to be such a pretty chick, it definitely gave him quite the shock. “Why did you come straight here?”

He did send her his address as a joke but never in a thousand years would he expect her to come looking for him.

“Of course, there are reasons for this.” Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin as she stole a glance at him. “Su Wu, I’m gonna be honest with you. The reason why I’ve come today is to get ‘River’s Lake’, that script you wrote.”

Wait a second. Su Wu was lost again.

River’s Lake? That was a script he had created three whole years ago. Not a single soul spared it a single look throughout the years and till today, it remains tucked away in the safety of his home. No one was supposed to know about it so why did she?

Also, there was the matter of his name. He hopped onto a black car that drove them here. The pressure he felt during the car ride was intense, presumably from the man behind the wheel. Due to the tense atmosphere, he failed to get a good look at the man’s face. Because of how intimidated he was, his lips remained sealed the entire way. And so, he did not get her name nor did she introduce herself to him.

This begs the question, how did she know his name?

It wasn’t weird for her to be able to locate him, nor was it impossible for her to know his name. However, what was weird was how she knew about the script for ‘River’s Lake’.

“You talking about ‘River’s Lake’? I was planning on burning it but, I could bring it to you if you want.”

Su Wu suppressed the skepticism in his heart and gave his brief reply. He really was planning on burning it into ashes.

A pair of shining bright eyes suddenly narrowed up. Gu Xiqiao raised her flawless jaw and pointed it in his direction. “Burn? Why would you do that? Did you not pour your blood, sweat, and tears into producing it?”

Su Wu tightened his grip on the porcelain coffee cup. It was because he could not wait any longer. The days are flying by and his parents are getting older with every passing day. Even if they willingly offered to support him, he simply couldn’t accept to see himself keeping up his stubborn act any longer.

“It’s because I don’t feel like persisting on anymore. I’ve had it with being a screenwriter.” Su Wu lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the ongoing conflict in his eyes.
