Zhang Rui stood wearily in front of room "304", his right hand constantly searching in his pocket for the missing key, while his left hand held a basket filled with household items. The bedding and quilt inside the basket were stuffed in a disorderly manner, with the pillow placed haphazardly on top, as if it could slip out of the basket at any moment. The weight of the basket put considerable pressure on his arms, but his attention was completely focused on the elusive key.
Zhang Rui furrowed his brow, filled with incomprehension and confusion. He once again plunged his hand deep into the other pocket, as if hoping to find the answer in that bottomless pit. His hand searched through the pocket, encountering several coins, a handkerchief, and even a pen, but still no sign of the key. His mood became increasingly restless, even beginning to suspect that he might have carelessly lost the key during his previous rushing around.
During the process of searching, he felt his body becoming unbalanced. The weight of the basket caused his body to unconsciously lean to the left, and he had to lean against the wall to find balance. As a result, the basket collided with the wall, making a slight noise. The quilt and pillows also almost slipped a few times during this process. A look of helplessness appeared on Zhang Rui's face, and he knew he had to return to the counter for help.
Just as Zhang Rui was about to turn back to the counter for help, the weight of the basket suddenly became uncontrollable, and the entire basket began to tilt backward. Zhang Rui felt panicked, gripping the edge of the basket tightly, trying to steady it, but it seemed like everything was too late. The quilt and pillows in the basket began to slowly slip, and the whole basket seemed like it was about to completely fall over in the next moment.
Just as Zhang Rui felt himself about to lose his balance and fall backwards with the basket, a strong and powerful hand suddenly appeared from behind, steadying him. Zhang Rui quickly turned his head and saw the beastman who had been sound asleep in the lounge earlier, now using his strong arms to support Zhang Rui and prevent him from falling.
The beastman's eyes revealed kindness and concern as he gently placed the basket back into Zhang Rui's hands, ensuring everything was secure before letting go. There was an unmistakable warmth in his expression, as if telling Zhang Rui that no matter what happens in the Shadow League, there will always be someone offering help when least expected.
"Be careful, newcomer," the orc said in a low and friendly voice. Seeing Zhang Rui's flustered state, the orc showed a hint of kindness with a warm smile. In a rough yet gentle voice, he said, "This is the key you dropped just now, it fell on the ground." With that, he took out a shining key from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Rui.
As Zhang Rui tried to balance the heavy basket in his hand and reach for the key, his movements were clearly too clumsy, and the basket almost slipped again. Seeing this, the orc quickly intervened, using his strong arm to steady the basket and prevent it from falling again.
"Hey hey hey! Just take your things, I'll help you open the door, newcomer," the beastman said. Without waiting for Zhang Rui to respond, he had already walked to the door and deftly opened it with the key.
The door opened gently, revealing a simple yet clean room. Zhang Rui looked gratefully at the beastman, realizing that in this new world full of unknowns and dangers, there was still unexpected warmth and help. The beastman gently pushed Zhang Rui on the back with his rough big hand, as if encouraging a young newcomer, while also urging him to enter his new room quickly. Zhang Rui carefully brought the basket into the room, taking in the entire layout of the room at a glance.
The room, though simple, gives a sense of simplicity and warmth. A wooden table and chair are placed in one corner, with no decorations on the table, purely practical in style. Opposite is a small wardrobe, its door slightly ajar, and empty inside. The most striking feature is the sturdy-looking bed frame in the center of the room.
Zhang Rui set down the basket in his hand, walked to the bed, and sat down, feeling the solidity of the bed frame. His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the future, as well as a hint of loneliness. This room would be his new home in the Shadow League, a place to start a new life. Zhang Rui looked around at the simple walls, silently determined to find his place in this new world.
Zhang Rui gently put down the basket in his hand and turned to the orc who had just reached out to help, feeling grateful inside. He smiled and introduced himself to the orc, "Thank you for your help. My name is Zhang Rui, and I am a newcomer to the Shadow League." The orc's body appeared tall and sturdy, and his rough and powerful palm firmly shook hands with Zhang Rui, conveying a sense of friendliness.
Daruixiu's smile seemed particularly warm, and his voice was deep and charming, "No need to be polite, young man. My name is Daruixiu. Ah, so you are Zhang Rui. You have really become a celebrity in the Shadow League. Everyone has been talking about you lately, saying that you have kept them very busy."
Zhang Rui When he heard these words, a embarrassed smile appeared on his face. He touched his hair and said with a bitter smile, "It seems that I have unintentionally caused a lot of trouble... I will do my best to make up for it."
Daruixiu burst into laughter and patted Zhang Rui's shoulder forcefully, as if trying to pat away all his embarrassment and nervousness. "Don't worry, young man. In the Shadow League, all sorts of things will happen. As long as you have the heart and courage to face them, you will find your own path. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Zhang Rui suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, and he nodded deeply in gratitude. Then, he began to tidy up his room, filled with anticipation for new challenges and adventures. As he was about to leave the room, Daruixiu jokingly reminded him, "Oh, and Zhang Rui, try not to go around proclaiming your name everywhere. Not everyone here likes to be busy, not everyone wants to be bothered by a newcomer." Zhang Rui couldn't help but nod with a wry smile, thinking that he would have to be careful in the future.
