Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 87: Mysterious Gifts

"Bad brother, sister Li, look, we arrived!" Emily exclaimed, pointing at the building in front of them.

Li Wei and Li Xin both nodded at her and looked at the 18-story tall building.

It was built in a modern design with glass panels; however, they were inscribed with runes and protected with magic.

"Brother, it's beautiful," Li Xin muttered with a sigh, looking at the tallest building in the city.

"Yes, it is beautiful; after all, it's a tourist spot," Li Wei nodded and looked at the gate.

There were a lot of guards on duty to protect the building from any harm.

"Let's go," Li Wei said, leading all of them inside the building.

It wasn't much of a problem for them to enter, and they all arrived at the terrace after taking the lift.

The area on the terrace was much bigger, with a lot of tourists from other worlds gathered here.

"Bad brother, look, there are a lot of people from your world here," Emily informed, pointing at the group of people from Earth.

Li Wei also noticed them and nodded.

"Yes, there are a lot; they probably come here to see Emily's beautiful world," he replied, ruffling her hair with a smile.

"Hum hum, of course, they will come to see; it's my world after all," Emily hummed happily, puffing her chest and looked at the shop on the terrace.

"Brother Li, I want to eat chicken skewers," she requested with big eyes, clinging to his arm.

"Okay, I will buy it for you," Li Wei nodded, shaking his head at her, and looked at the shop.

'The shop has a special table at the edge of the terrace; maybe I can get it,' he thought and proceeded towards the shop, leading everyone there.

In the shop, a woman in a maid uniform welcomed them.

"Welcome to SavoryBites, do you want to order chicken skewers or something else?" she inquired.

"Yes, I want chicken skewers, and also, can we sit there?" Li Wei replied, asking her as he pointed at the special table.

"Yes, you can sit there, but it will cost 100,000 coins extra."

"Okay, then we will sit there, and also, give us 20 chicken skewers first," Li Wei replied as he transferred the amount without hesitation.

The maid became stunned watching him transfer the amount without hesitation but hurriedly nodded and asked them to sit there first.

"Whoa, bad brother, you are really rich!" Emily exclaimed, sitting on his lap and gazing down at the city.

"Bad brother, why don't you buy a villa for me too? I will be your wife in the future," she muttered, swinging her legs with a smile.

Li Wei sighed at her and shook his head.

"I can't afford you as my wife, so no," he muttered, gazing down at the city as Li Xin and others did the same.

The whole city appeared small in front of this tall building; they could also see the forests outside the city while catching the glimpse of Earth in the north.

As they all continued to look, the maid delivered the freshly grilled chicken skewers.

They all enjoyed it as they chatted a little, when suddenly Emily looked up at Li Wei.

"Bad brother, I didn't buy a birthday gift for you because I am giving myself to you," she said with a blush.

"Why are your thoughts always wandering here, and if you really want to give yourself as a gift, I will gladly take you as my little sister," Li Wei replied, pinching her cheeks.

"Humph, I want to be a wife," Emily snorted with displeasure and took out a pink gift box.

"Here, take it, and you are not supposed to open it until tomorrow," she stated, giving him the gift box and stood on his lap.

"And happy birthday, bad brother, I hope you won't forget about your future wife," she muttered and gave him a kiss on his cheek while biting it a little.

Li Wei smiled wryly but didn't resist. After she was done, he patted her head.

"Thank you for the gift," he replied softly and didn't open it, as she said.

Watching them, Elva, and others also decided to give their gifts.

"Brother Li! I wish you happy birthday also I prepared a very big gift for you. But, don't open it until tomorrow," Alice said, taking out a two-feet big black gift box and put it on the table with a smug look.

Li Wei suddenly got a bad feeling for her gift.

"Thanks, Alice," nevertheless, he thanked as he stored the gift inside the item box, sealing it for eternity.

"Alice, you better not be playing any tricks, or this time you would definitely lose your future husband's property," Elva threatened her with a cold look.

However, Alice didn't care and just smiled, humming herself as if she had done a good thing.

Watching her like this, Li Wei felt more bad about the gift she gave it him.

'Just what kind of gift are they giving me, and why so mysterious?' he thought, feeling puzzled.

"Brother Li, Happy birthday, and here is my gift," Elva wished him, giving a white box.

"Thank you, Elva. Also, is there any time limit to open it?" Li Wei asked, as she didn't say anything about it.

Hearing his question, Elva shook her head.

"No, you can open it whenever you want," she replied.

"Then I will open it now," Li Wei nodded and started to unwrap the white box.

Everyone also focused on the gift box, as they don't know what kind of gifts others have bought.

However everyone become surprised after knowing the gift.

"Books? Sister Elva, you are giving him books?" Emily asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I found these books in a gift shop. They are old and contain a lot of miscellaneous information with the involvement of gods," Elva explained.

However, Emily was still puzzled, as she didn't know Li Wei has the quest to kill the gods.

"Thank you, Elva; it's really useful for me," Li Wei thanked her again.

"Bad brother, can you tell me how is it useful to you?" Emily inquired with a puzzled look, leaning on him and looking up.

"Well, I am collecting some information about this world for future purposes," Li Wei explained with a smile, ruffling her hair.

"Umm, so you are collecting information," Emily nodded and looked at Olivia, who took out a blue gift box.

"Brother Li, happy birthday," Olivia said, giving him the gift.

"Thanks, Olivia. I can open it now, right?" Li Wei asked, thinking she will agree to it.

However, Olivia shook her head with a blush.

"No, Brother Li, you should open it tomorrow," she replied, looking away.

Li Wei became surprised at her reaction.

'Did I trigger a flag?' he thought and looked at Lily beside him who was doing the same.

'Are they planning something, or is it Emily who is behind the scenes?' he muttered in his mind, looking at Emily; however, she showed a puzzled expression.

"Brother Li, happy birthday, and don't open it until tomorrow," Lily said, giving him a red gift box with a blush.

"Okay, thanks, Lily," Li Wei nodded, thanking her and stored the gifts inside his item box.

He then glanced at Li Xin, but she didn't plan to give him the gift yet, and no one said anything about this, knowing it must be for a specific time.

They soon started to chat and strolled on the terrace, enjoying the view before heading towards the next destination.

"Bad brother, where are we going now?" Emily asked after arriving at the ground floor.

However, just as he was about to reply, he heard someone talking about something that attracted his attention.

"Hey, did you hear the weird middle-aged man who arrived in the North Plane?"

"Yes, I heard about it. He is killing monsters wherever he goes and doesn't listen to anyone."

"Yeah, he is probably some high-level adventurer, but he is killing in a low-level area."

"Well someone already reported him to the guild, and they will definitely take action."

"Tsk, what can they do if it's some noble? Valeria City is just an E-level city; they will probably not care if it's some noble."

"What can we do anyway; let's go. We should head up there too."

The two people conversed with each other, making Li Wei a little stiff.

'Aren't they talking about my clone? Maybe it did go overboard,' he thought and contacted the clone asking it to do fast without attracting any attention.

He didn't instruct it to slow down the speed, as he was about to level up to 100 and has to stop later anyway.

"Bad brother, where are we going?" Emily asked again, with a pout after watching him thinking about something.

"Oh, we are going to watch the play at the theatre," Li Wei replied with a smile.

He came on a date not to have fun but to spend time with Li Xin.

However, he wanted to have Emily fun; after all, he will be leaving abruptly, and she will definitely not feel good about this.
