Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 315 Dating
The lurker charged up the rocky ground like a giant spider, its dense compound eyes flashing and transforming into a dense array of spikes that shot out from all directions!

A sharp pain shot through my chest and abdomen. Even with my steely will, I cried out in pain, and then I saw my health bar disappear like a water pump.

This is definitely not going to work; we can't just keep taking hits!
To save an invincible spell, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Lurker: Battle Shout, Burst Charge, Heavenly Craftsmanship, Unstoppable Force, and Chaos Blade.

The instant the charge was completed, he was almost completely surrounded by the sharp barbs on the opponent's body, and the damage numbers above his head rose up densely!
"1128!"

"1092!"

"1123!"

"1098!"

……

These damages weren't very painful, but they were too concentrated, and the health bar that had just been absorbed by the charge damage was almost gone in the blink of an eye!
That does not work!

He swiftly lunged forward with a step-slash, directly colliding with the infiltrator at point-blank range, and then unleashed a rising dragon slash with his sword.

Lucky you, you managed to knock it away!
The moment the infiltrator's body was lifted off the ground by the sword light, a combo of continuous slash + normal attack + ash sweep + normal attack + dragon blade + normal attack was quickly followed up, completely stacking up the unstoppable attack power!
“Zizi~~~”

The Lurker was enraged, and its compound eyes suddenly burst forth with a blood-red glow. In an instant, two earth spikes swept across, instantly depleting my health bar and leaving me severely injured!
This is difficult...

Use the medkit swiftly, and the moment the critical injury effect wears off, lock onto the infiltrator as the target and unleash the skill – Limit Seventy-Two Slashes!
"Ding--"

With a sharp whistle, the lurker's body became immobilized and even rose to a position 0.5 meters off the ground. The reason for raising the opponent's body during the skill's prelude was probably to facilitate the kill.

The next second, his body turned into a blur and entered the snow-white light sphere. He focused on each sword strike, and the passage of time slowed down as he began to concentrate on the connection between each sword strike. The moment the previous sword strike was unleashed, the next sword strike began to take shape. The entire process of the strikes became increasingly smooth and fluid!
"Boom boom boom~~~"

The sound of the power sword striking the BOSS was crisp and pleasant, and the number of hits kept increasing, reaching 35 in the blink of an eye!
New record!
With a crisp, loud bang, the strike was completed, and the infiltrator crashed to the ground, a large damage number appearing above its head.

"10442208!"

"+4176915!"

This time, the ultimate 72-hit combo was a critical hit, and the 40% lifesteal and healing numbers were completely overflowing!

"Zizi!"

The lurker roared, its bristly legs emitting a white aura as it frantically burrowed into the ground, seemingly trying to escape once more.

Unfortunately, amidst the flying sparks, it only managed to carve a groove in the hard rock, unable to penetrate directly into the ground.

So, in that dense cluster of compound eyes, I seemed to see a hint of panic.

It got anxious.

Since you're already here, why not stay?

The next second, a step-slash + chilling star strike, a double attack that almost instantly cleaved into the infiltrator's body, freezing him instantly. Then, he swung his longsword, unleashing a combo of normal slash + shockwave + blood-draining frenzy on the infiltrator's spiky legs.

"55873!"

"270884!"

"106772!"

"80982!"

"222884!"

……

Clearly, the Unstoppable Force doesn't stack up the number of hits in the Ultimate Seventy-Two Slashes combo; otherwise, the damage wouldn't be this high.

“Zizi~~~”

The infiltrators roared in anger, and I felt a little anxious.

Although the series of attacks seemed fierce, they all actually hit the opponent's warp shield, and the power sword did not achieve any real cutting effect.

As the overwhelming effect wore off, the wave of damage had passed, and it was time for the Lurkers to launch a counterattack.

"Shh!"

Fantasy Shield, 8 seconds of invincibility!
The moment invincibility was activated, he crashed directly into the infiltrator's "arms," ​​his sword flashing wildly, his Glory Barrier continuously striking, and visibly, the resilience bar of that subspace creature shield was decreasing and about to disappear.

Time is running out. Sure enough, with my current strength, it's almost impossible to solo a top-tier gold boss in the current version without taking damage. I'll need to use a Resurrection Tome to reset my skill cooldowns and replenish my nearly depleted Yuan Power.

……

"Puff puff puff~~~"

Under the combined impact of the spikes and ground spikes, my health bar vanished the instant the Illusion Shield dissipated; I was instantly killed.

The moment the interface appears, it confirms the status and instantly revives you!

In an instant, all skills were reset, and the energy was fully restored. So, I immediately used Battle Cry + Chaos Blade + Heavenly Craftsmanship + Unstoppable Force to stack up the buffs. Then, I used normal attacks + combo attacks + normal attacks + Ash Sweep + normal attacks to stack up the attack power.

Just as the infiltrator let out a roar, he instantly unleashed the Limit Seventy-Two Slashes!

As before, he managed 35 consecutive hits, seemingly having reached a bottleneck.

"5287635!"

When the combo ended, the layer of subspace biological shield on the Lurker's body finally disappeared. It has to be said, it was really thick, much thicker than the wyvern's subspace shield.

“Zizi~~”

The lurker cried out, and the pupils in all its compound eyes contracted violently, realizing that something terrible was about to happen.

But it was all too late!

The next second it was lifted into the air by a rising dragon slash, and then the power sword storm was activated, the longsword locked onto its limbs and slashed hard!

In the blink of an eye, all four legs on its left side were severed, and it lost its ability to burrow underground and escape.

Another set of skills!
The four legs on the right side had also been cut off. The lurking body rolled on the ground, its buttocks round and big, and its head as big as a bucket, making it difficult to attack.

So I chose to attack the "slender waist" in the middle, and used a three-hit combo to cut the slender waist in half.

Green slurry splattered all over the ground, but it still had a trace of life.

"Shh!"

He leaped onto its head, plunged his sword into the center of its compound eye, and then twisted the hilt, releasing a shockwave deep within its skull!

"Bang~~~"

The shockwave burst out and penetrated the rock strata, causing terrifying damage as the rock and ground cracked.

In an instant, three bells rang in my ears simultaneously, and finally, I felt relieved—

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Lurker (Cataclysmic S8 Gold BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Lurker (Cataclysmic S8 Gold BOSS), gaining 16000000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 8000000 experience points!]

[Congratulations! You have completed the main quest "Attack and Destroy the Insect Hive!" (S-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +1800 million, Charisma +1. Furthermore, due to your crucial role in the quest, you receive an additional maximum reward: "Starry Body" (S-rank Skill Tome)!]

……

This Lurker was the last unit in the Zerg hive, and the moment it was killed, the mission was also completed. So it wasn't just me; everyone received the mission completion reward.

The star map became lively.

"Huh, the mission suddenly finished? What happened? Was it delayed?"

"Delay my ass! The quest wasn't settled because there was still a golden boss to fight. Now that it's settled, what do you think is the reason?"

"No way, which big brother managed to take down the infiltrator?"

"Of course it's Ding Han, could it be me?"

……

"drop!"

A message came from Guns Out: "Ding Han, what happened? Did you take out the infiltrator?"

"Ah."

I took a screenshot of the scene in front of me and sent it to him, laughing, "The Lurker is good at burrowing underground, so it's impossible to fight when it's burrowed underground. So I brought it to the rocky terrain, and it worked. I used a Resurrection Tome to kill it."

"ox……"

Gun Chu Rulong laughed: "That's for the best. Not only will you benefit, but all of us brothers who participated in this event will benefit. At least we'll get the experience points and 1 charm point from the S-level mission."

"Indeed, I'm going home."

"Yes, let's go home!"

At this point, I finally had time to turn my attention to the loot. First was the skill book, which was the top reward for this mission and the best item in the reward pool.

【Starry Body】(S-Rank Skill Codex): Passive skill, greatly increases vitality and spirit. The increase is related to the user's level. Required level: 60. Required profession: Star Speaker.

A passive ability of the Star Speaker can enhance vitality and mental strength, which are precisely the two attributes that the Star Speaker needs most.

As a damage-dealing class, Star Speaker players typically allocate all their stat points to Spirit. Some players may allocate 4 points to Spirit and 1 point to Agility, or 3 points to Spirit, 1 point to Constitution, and 1 point to Agility to improve their PvP capabilities. However, Spirit must be sufficient to maintain damage output.

Therefore, if this skill is improved significantly, it will become the "book of transformation" for the Star Speaker class, transforming it from moderately strong to extremely strong!

He posted the Starshine Body directly in the team chat and laughed, "Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? Night Fae, Koko, you two roll for it. Whoever gets the higher roll gets priority to buy."

"Wow……"

The two Star Speakers sent a particularly lewd, drooling emoji almost simultaneously.

"Come on, Kou-mei!"

The Night Fae rolls directly, getting 37.

"That unlucky kid..."

Cai Cai and Fatty burst into laughter and made sarcastic remarks.

Kou Mei rolls the ball, 11 o'clock.

"That unlucky girl..."

The two of them laughed even more wildly as they teased each other.

……

Okay, I still have a 100% gold-quality treasure chest that I haven't opened yet.

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Helmet of the Lurker] (Quality: Cataclysmic Grade, S8, Gold)!

……

Here it comes, the golden helmet!
Overjoyed, he hurriedly opened the storage space to check its attributes.

The design of the Lurker's Helmet is quite unique, resembling a large spider perched on the head. Its style is somewhat similar to the helmets from the Warring States period, making it incredibly ugly.

Fortunately, the game system has a "hide helmet" option, and most players have this option enabled, except for some who are too insecure about their appearance.

The next second, the attributes of the Lurker's Helmet appeared before my eyes—

【Helmet of the Lurker】(Quality: Catastrophe Grade, S8, Gold)

Rank: Sixth Rank

Defense: 1180
Strength: +70
Physical strength: +68
Agility: +65
Specialty: Accuracy +120
Blessing: Damage reduction +5%
Specialty: Attack damage +20%
Blessing: Divine Power-III, increases attack power by 1200 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases your maximum health by 10000 points.

Burst Skill: [Earth Burst] - Allows you to burrow underground in soft soil for 12 seconds, consuming 10 Yuan Energy Points. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
Biography: The Lurker's Helmet, a creation of alien technology, is extremely sturdy and contains some kind of mysterious warp power.
Strength required: 1200
Required Agility: 500
……

This attribute is quite pleasing.

Almost all indicators are maxed out, and there is also a key skill – burrowing underground.

Walking underground must be a really cool thing, perfect for ambushes and assassinations.

This thing is even more useful than the stealth assassination of the Shadow Assassin. After all, stealth on the ground is still easy to be detected. Whether it is sound or changes in terrain, it is easy to be exposed in front of experts.

But the burrowing-in-the-ground type is different; it will suddenly emerge from the ground like Tu Xingsun to give you a fright.

I've decided to give it a try.

The moment you put on the helmet, a skill bar dedicated to Burst Techniques appears on the right side of the interface. Step out of the rocky terrain, select Burst, and activate!
"Shh!"

My body suddenly plummeted, and then I entered a three-dimensional space operation mode. I could choose the depth to burrow underground, and when I looked up, everything on the ground was clearly visible.

This skill is amazing; you can see Natsuki's color without even tilting your head.

Try burrowing underground and then attacking.

The moment I locked onto a pine tree and unleashed the Rising Dragon Slash, I suddenly felt a strong push from behind. My body burst off the ground, and with a single sword stroke, amidst the faint roar of a dragon, I cleaved the pine tree in two!
Excellent! Stealth + ambush, this burst skill is absolutely perfect!

……

He took out his motorcycle and headed to the team's rendezvous point.

Soon after, Ruolin, Cai Cai, and others appeared in the forest.

"Boss, that's awesome!"

Cai Cai burst into praise.

"Sycophant, disgusting..." Kou Mei said disdainfully.

Faye Chao stepped forward, traded away the Starshine Body, and left behind 60 Star Coins.

I then looked at the pink Star Cave Mother Helmet that I had just replaced. This helmet is actually very strong, with 4% damage reduction and 17% damage increase being the maximum. It's a bit of a waste to sell it, as the team will definitely need it.

"I replaced my helmet."

He posted the helmet illustration directly in the channel and asked, "Anyone interested? It can be used by the Super Warrior, Firearms, and Gene Warrior classes. CaiCai and Fatty, do you two have a strength of 1000 points?"

"Let's pool our strength together, bro..."

Cai Cai said with great distress that he was extremely envious of the helmet.

"My agility is much worse now, never mind."

Aki lamented, "What a pity..."

He just looked at me with a smug expression and said, "Alright, my helmet, it's destined for me!"

As he spoke, he tossed me 80 and took the helmet.

"Give us this much?"

"You still owe Ying'er 1200 million, right? Hurry up and pay it back. We Xingyuan players will never be slaves. How can you owe money and not pay it back? Not even your girlfriend!"

"Makes sense!"

I nodded emphatically and gladly accepted the money.

At this point, my personal savings have reached 1290 million+, which is more than enough to pay off my debts. Moreover, I can make a considerable profit by selling the items I earned on the black market this time. After paying off my debts, I can still live a comfortable life.

……

Let's set off and return to the City of Kings.

Afterwards, players are teleported back to Huaining City from the City of Kings in the Black Market.

"Old horse!"

Full of vigor, he led his team of seven out of the teleportation array and saw the familiar-looking man with the long face in the distance!

"Ding Han, you're back!"

Old Ma laughed heartily: "Come on, let's go to my office and have a detailed chat!"

Arriving at the warehouse—no, I mean Old Ma's office—I made a transaction, pulling out a whole bunch of stuff. Old Ma ultimately valued it at 225 million. This trip was really profitable!
"By the way, Ding Han."

After paying, Old Ma said, "You guys should all have pretty big interdimensional storage spaces now, right?"

"good."

I glanced at it and said, "My space has 102 cubic meters."

Cai Cai, Ruolin, and others all exclaimed that it was awesome, as their spaces were generally in the range of 30-60 cubic meters.

There's nothing I can do about it; my charm level is just too high, and charm level means luck. This snowballing speed is quite terrifying.

"Why are you suddenly asking about other dimensions?" I asked.

"Ahem, I mean..."

Old Ma said, "In the future, if you find any low-level guns, knives, or similar items, whether they are blue, green, or even white, you can keep them. I'll buy them all, and the price won't be too low."

"what?"

I couldn't help but chuckle: "Didn't you used to dislike low-level equipment?"

"This time, that time."

Old Ma said, "Our player black market has just opened up trading channels with many settlements in the wilderness. The Red Dragon Kingdom army doesn't care about these low-level equipment, but the wilderness wanderers do. They desperately need these low-level weapons. The white and gray guns that you see are treasures to them, things that can be exchanged for bread."

"understood."

Cai Cai nodded: "Next time, if there's enough space, I won't throw things out."

"Okay, that's what I meant!"

……

Soon after, the transaction was completed.

It was 10:00 AM.

Everyone was exhausted and left.

Instead of going back to sleep, I sent Lin Qingying a message to let her know I was back, then went straight to the bank. I sat down at the counter with a sack of money and said, "Hello, I want to deposit 1200 million into my account."

"..."

The saleswoman was dumbfounded. She stood up and glanced at the money in the sack, and was even more shocked.

She was quick-witted and said, "Yes, sir, we'll check the target account for you right away."

"Sorry sir, the system is a bit busy right now, please wait a moment."

She said that, but she had already secretly notified the manager to come over.

When the manager arrived, he gave me a deep look, while outside, two bank guards were already quietly approaching.

That's incredibly meticulous. Are all the banks in Star Abyss this rigorous?
"Sir, because the amount you want to deposit is too large, we need to reactivate the system," the manager said.

You're kidding me. You can't even come up with a decent excuse. Do you think I'm a computer novice?

The manager got up to make a phone call, but immediately turned back after finishing and said, "Xiao Zhang, please process the deposit for this gentleman."

He said, looking extremely embarrassed, "Sir, I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

Hmph, I just chuckled.

It seems that the people above him have already scolded him and taught him a lesson.

Some people's identities can't withstand scrutiny, so you'd better not investigate.

……

Soon after, several money counting machines started running together and began counting money.

I'm not in a hurry; I'm just reading a magazine.

Around 11 o'clock, I finally deposited the money into the account that Lin Qingying had given me.

Soon after, Lin Qingying called.

"Ding Han, you've transferred that 1200 million?"

"Ah."

"I told you there's no rush." ​​"It's alright, the mission I carried out yesterday was very lucrative. After paying back the money, I'll still have several million in pocket money. Don't worry about me."

"Ok."

She smiled and said, "Go home and get some sleep. I don't have any meetings today. Come pick me up early so we can have a date."

"okay!"

……

I went home, ate something, set my alarm, and went to sleep.

I slept until four in the afternoon.

My dream was filled with dragons and lurkers. The battle with the swarm seemed to have put me under some kind of stress, or rather, brought out a certain anxiety.

I got up and glanced at my phone.

There was only one message, from Cheng Shuang.

She posted a picture of succulents that had actually flowered from the bomb shells I left behind. I must say, she really took good care of these succulents.

Leaning against the headboard, I felt a mix of emotions.

Cheng Shuang is such a wonderful woman—quiet, gentle, and intellectual. It's a pity we weren't meant to be.

If I had met a woman like Cheng Shuang in my original world...

That’s okay!

Directly apply cream to baby.

"Good job raising it, keep it up!"

I replied with a dog emoji.

She replied with a raised hand "received" emoji, which she probably stole from her subordinates.

……

After getting up and washing up, I changed into casual clothes and rode my motorcycle to Yuening Group.

I went upstairs to the office to pick up Lin Qingying, and then drove her car to the Yuening Life Plaza across the street. After parking the car, we headed straight to our date spot, Shudao Mountain.

Knowing full well that hot pot is high in purines and will eventually cause gout, I couldn't persuade Lin Qingying to switch to another restaurant because she really loved this one.

Forget it, let's enjoy life while we can, why think so much?

Dinner was served shortly afterward.

"Xiaoying, how are the data results for Yuening Mall since it went live?"

I put a piece of meat on her plate and said, "I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to ask you about your work."

"pretty good."

She smiled slightly: "The response to the online store has been quite good since it went live. Sales in recent days have almost doubled compared to the same period last year. Although it hasn't achieved the results I expected, it's still quite good."

"When something new appears, users need an adaptation period."

I comforted them, saying, "Once some users accept this shopping method, word of mouth will spread, continuously building up the reputation of Yuening Mall. What we need to do is provide better service, deliver quickly, ensure the goods are genuine, and minimize defective products. Sales will definitely continue to rise."

"Well, that's what I thought too!"

She was always very serious when she talked to me about work.

"Mr. Lin."

At this moment, the shop owner walked over and said, "After your Yuening Mall went online, I tried it out and bought a Little Tyrant learning machine for my son. It was so fast! I placed the order one day and it arrived the next day, delivered right to my door!"

He scratched his head and laughed, "Ordering online and having it delivered and installed in person is so convenient and fast! It's a million times more convenient than buying appliances in a shopping mall. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius!"

"Of course! My Xiaoying has always been a genius!"

"Excuse me, who are you?"

How embarrassing! I should have kept quiet.

……

After dinner, the date continued.

Lin Qingying has become much more relaxed now. When we walk in the square, she takes the initiative to link arms with me or hold my hand, and once she does, she doesn't want to let go.

I bought milk tea and went to the cinema for a quick look.

Damn, they're all terrible movies, not a single one is watchable.

"There is nothing we can do."

I took a deep breath and said, "In that case, we'll just have to continue booking the entire video arcade!"

"what?"

Lin Qingying asked with a smile, "Goed to the video arcade again?"

"Ok!"

I nodded: "Xiaoying, although I know it feels very incongruous for you, as the CEO of Yuening Group, to go to those kinds of places, you should sometimes be more accommodating. After all, I'm just an ordinary person. When I was a kid, I used to go to arcades and video arcades with Fatty all the time."

"Oh!"

She smiled faintly and said, "So, does Fatty know that you took me to a video arcade?"

"I haven't told him yet, because I'm afraid he'll look down on me."

Lin Qingying chuckled and gently took my hand: "Since you've decided, let's go. How about we pick a zombie movie to watch today?"

"Then it has to be Uncle Ying!"

……

He led Lin Qingying to the video arcade.

The boss is picking his toes.

In the past two years, with the development of the times, VCD players are entering ordinary households, and with the popularization of computers, many people watch movies directly on their computers. As a result, video arcades are declining and their business is plummeting.

"Boss, we'd like to book the entire venue."

"okay!"

The shop owner stared intently at Lin Qingying for a moment and said, "Young man, bringing your girlfriend to watch videos again?"

"There aren't many good movies at the cinema lately, so it's hard to pass the time in the evenings!"

"Oh?"

The boss glanced at the small hotel across the street and winked at me.

That bastard, he's like a silver devil.

I paid 50 yuan to rent the theater. The owner left a bunch of zombie movie DVDs and then left, while I locked the door.

Then, subconsciously, I looked up at the ceiling and the surroundings of the video arcade.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qingying asked.

"Check if there are any cameras or anything."

"what?"

She was a little panicked.

"It can't be that bad... We're not doing anything."

"We can't even get photographed kissing!"

"That's true, then you should check carefully!"

She got up too and looked around with me.

However, while cameras are easy to hide, they are difficult to find, and the "turn off the lights and use your phone camera" trick sometimes doesn't work.

Actually, we could use a bio-electromagnetic pulse...

But... never mind, if I really use electromagnetic pulse, even the Yuening Group on the other side will suffer, and Lin Qingying will definitely come after me then.

"Never mind, there probably aren't any. Let's begin."

"Okay, let's start!"

When the DVD started playing, Lin Qingying chose a film by Lam Ching-ying called "Mr. Vampire 2". She has good taste; I think this is the best of Uncle Ying's films.

When the zombies appeared, Lin Qingying had obviously never seen a movie like this before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She rested her face on my shoulder and didn't say a word.

"Xiao Ying, don't be a coward, look at the screen!"

"Who's a coward..."

She was unconvinced and looked up at the screen.

But the moment the zombie cried out, she immediately turned pale.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As I watched, Lin Qingying got used to it and started slurping her milk tea. I, on the other hand, was a little sleepy. I had stayed up all night yesterday and hadn't slept for more than a few hours today, so I leaned on Lin Qingying's shoulder and drifted off to sleep.

……

I woke up to find myself resting my head on a pair of soft legs.

Sometime later, she found herself lying on her side on the sofa, her cheek pressed against her thigh. And since Lin Qingying was wearing a short skirt and no stockings today, her face was resting against her thigh, the sensation…

It was so beautiful it defied description.

"How did I fall asleep..."

I was about to get up when I noticed my mouth was sticky. It turned out I had been drooling from sleeping so soundly. At the same time, in the dim light of the video arcade, I noticed a ray of light spreading down Lin Qingying's leg.

Oh no, he's drooling all over her legs.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoying."

I instinctively reached out to wipe it, and when I did...

It feels so good, so white and tender...

"what?"

Lin Qingying was watching a horror movie with her face covered, but when I touched her, her pretty face turned bright red. She quickly took out a tissue from her bag and said, "I'll wipe it myself, it's okay."

I felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I worked all night yesterday and didn't sleep well today."

"Did you sleep well just now?" she asked gently.

"pretty good."

"That's good."

I sat up straight and continued watching the movie with her.

It was too early, so at my suggestion, the two of them watched another movie, this time "The Taoist Priest with One Eyebrows," which is also one of Lam Ching-ying's representative works.

……

After watching it, Lin Qingying was scared, but she said she really liked this type of movie.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I went out.

There were few people in the alley, except for the small internet cafes and arcades in the distance, which were still bustling with activity.

Just then, someone whistled in the distance.

They were three thugs.

One of them had dyed red hair, wore Iori Yagami's clothes, had an earring, and had a fierce look on his face. The other was a bit muscular, with cloth wrapped around his hands, and wore Kyo Kusanagi's clothes.

In addition, there was a student-looking guy hanging out with two "big brothers".

"Beautiful lady, your legs are so white and pretty... How much would it cost to touch them?"

As Iori Yagami whistled, he chuckled in a sly manner, "Your boyfriend looks average. He might not be able to satisfy you, right?"

Kyo Kusanagi laughed loudly, "Judging from that bastard's appearance, he definitely won't be satisfied."

The students laughed along, seemingly very happy and enjoying the feeling of indulgence.

Unfortunately, they hit a brick wall today.

"Ding Han..."

Lin Qingying held my hand, seemingly not wanting me to get involved in these troubles.

She still doesn't have a clear understanding of my fighting ability.

"It's okay, wait for me here, I'll be right back."

After gently stroking her shoulder, I turned and left.

"how?"

A murderous glint flashed in Iori Yagami's eyes as he said, "You fucking want to die?!"

"Snapped!"

A resounding slap landed on his face, and I slammed his cheek against the wall, saying calmly, "You don't even know how to use Yagami's combos, are you?!"

With that, he slammed his head against the wall with a little force, and Iori Yagami immediately sat down on the ground, seeing stars.

Kyo Kusanagi was enraged: "How dare you touch my brother?"

"What's wrong with touching him?"

I slapped him hard across the face.

Kyo Kusanagi covered his face and squatted down next to Iori Yagami, looking as aggrieved as a girl.

"Brother, I..."

The young man, who looked like a student, was ashen-faced: "I didn't say anything..."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap landed on his face.

"It's so late and you're still not home doing your homework. You have excellent grades?"

It felt so good to finish.

He returned and led Lin Qingying away from the alley.

"Ding Han, you seemed like a villain just now..." Lin Qingying said with a smile.

"Doesn't it look imposing, like it might slap a passing dog?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Haha, I'm not usually like this, I'm usually very quiet. It's all because these idiots messed with my girlfriend."

"Really?"

She rested her face on my arm, her smile becoming even sweeter.

……

The aroma of lamb skewers wafted from the edge of the square.

It was a roadside barbecue; it looked very simple, but the smell was absolutely amazing.

"It smells so good..."

Lin Qingying expressed what was on my mind.

"Would you like something to eat?"

"No, it's so late, and it's too oily, it's not good for your health."

"It's okay. It's rare to have time for a date, so having fun is the most important thing. Just tell me if you want to eat or not?"

"miss you!"

"Come on, I'll treat you to something."

"it is good!"

Lin Qingying smiled and nodded, holding his hand even tighter: "Don't buy too much, I'll just eat a little bit."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"Boss, give me 30 lamb skewers, lots of cumin and little chili."

"..."

Lin Qingying's face turned pale; she could feel that her body management plan was facing a huge challenge.

After eating the lamb skewers, I felt incredibly satisfied, not just ordinary satisfied.

He drove Lin Qingying home to sleep.

Yeah, the kind of sleeping where everyone sleeps separately.

……

The next morning.

After watching Lin Qingying go to work, he suddenly felt a little empty inside, as if he had nothing to do.

Some people are like that; they need to have a job and a goal every day, otherwise they feel empty. If you ask them to go on a trip or have fun, they will feel a little uneasy.

This disease is a disease of cheapness, or rather, a disease of poverty.

If someone truly has billions in assets, who would feel guilty while playing around?

At this time, it seems I've contracted this illness. When I don't have a proper job, I feel incredibly empty inside. It's not that I can't go out and have fun; I can wander around the ancient city like Lu Xiaobei, or go boating on East Lake, but it all seems rather uninteresting...

It seems that a person's fate is predetermined.

I'll tentatively call this cheeky feeling "ambition."

I rode my motorcycle to the Feiyang Chain Internet Cafe Huaining Flagship Store.

I wandered around and noticed that business was a bit worse than before. There was nothing I could do about it; after all, many people came online specifically for Lu Xiaobei, and since they found out the owner had changed, many people stopped coming.

The manager's office on the second floor has been renovated and converted into a VIP room.

Everything seems the same as before, yet everything also seems different.

Feeling bored, I left the internet cafe and headed to the Feiyang Chain Esports Hotel.

Chen Xiaoman was busy, while Zhao Yihang remained in his office.

I went up to the terrace alone, holding a cup of coffee, and silently watched the lake view.

……

I can't just sit idly by like this; my career needs a fresh start!
But what should I do next? I feel lost again.

Just then, a figure appeared beside them and said softly, "You know what? This is the first time I've felt lonely in you. Why don't you come back to the chain hotel and become the general manager?"

It was Lu Xiaobei. I don't know when she came back. She had long pink hair and looked stunning. She was looking at me with a pained expression.
