Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 53 tells you some terrible news.

"Furthermore, don't think that Ragnarok's interior is a monolithic entity. I heard from a friend that many core players of Ragnarok are strongly demanding revenge for Ah Dui Dui Dui, especially after many people know that you have several pieces of blue equipment."

Zhang Ruolin continued, "It was Yi Dao Ru Hun who forcefully suppressed everyone's opposition, which led to this meeting with you. In short, we all need to be more careful when we go out in the future, as the people of Ragnarok might make a move against us."

"understood."

I gave Zhang Ruolin and Xiaobai a few words of advice, telling them to be careful during this time.

The two then tacitly stopped chatting.

Around 9 p.m.

The sound of the door opening came from outside. Lin Qingying had finally returned. I still couldn't understand why she, an intern at Xidong Electrical Appliances City, was so busy and got off work so late. In addition, she even had an assistant. What intern has an assistant?

So, with my arms as a pillow, I cleared my mind, no longer thinking about Ragnarok or the one-hit kill. And after clearing my mind, the sounds outside became clearer.

Including the sound of Lin Qingying turning on the shower in the bathroom.

Shortly after, she returned to her room, but instead of sleeping, she continued to use her laptop and would occasionally answer one or two phone calls. The calls were all work-related, involving things like advertising, marketing, and customer needs, which I didn't quite understand.

And so, I fell asleep on her phone and slept soundly until the next morning.

……

I woke up very early.

After having breakfast downstairs, I went straight to the internet cafe.

"Ding Han".

Lu Xiaobei suddenly rushed out of an alley in the old town, holding dozens of balloons in his hand and carrying a bag for setting up a stall on his back, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence..."

"How did you end up selling balloons?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and these balloons with cartoon designs are quite popular with kids, so I ordered a batch to see if this is a new business opportunity."

Goodness, she doesn't think about anything else all day but how to get rich. She's so ambitious!

"Oh, right, I have some bad news for you."

Lu Xiaobei said, "It's about Zhao Yihang."

"what!?"

I shuddered: "Zhao Yihang died of appendicitis?"

"you……"

Lu Xiaobei glared at me: "He's perfectly fine. The bad news I'm talking about is for you. Zhao Yihang was discharged from the hospital tonight and can't stay up all night, so the night shift was reassigned to Yingzi. But Zhao Yihang can't come over before tonight, so your day shift today will be postponed. You can only go home after Zhao Yihang comes to hand over the shift."

She chuckled: "So thank you for your hard work, I'm off to earn some money~~~"

Before I could refuse, she had already dashed into the alleyways of the ancient city.

As I stared in the direction Lu Xiaobei disappeared, I was somewhat lost in thought. Perhaps she was born to be free; such a mindset is truly enviable.

Unlike me, as a player, I seem to be free in the world of "Star Abyss", but in reality, I am always controlled by the game rules. I have to seek opportunities to trigger missions, level up, buy ammunition, and go to work to earn money. I seem to be free, but in reality, I live within the framework of rules and regulations and have no freedom at all.

Fortunately, there was good news on this day.

At noon, I received a message from "Shengxia," the editor at Yuandian Novel Network. He said that the book "My 23-Year-Old Beautiful Boss" would no longer have a chance to be recommended by Sanjiang Literature City, and it would be available for purchase at noon. This also means that the book can finally make money!

So, starting at noon, I kept a close eye on the subscription numbers for the first VIP chapter.

By 4 PM, the number of subscribers for the first chapter had finally and somewhat awkwardly reached 200...

I'm dead!
In the book review section, the person who had previously criticized me resurfaced, posting a sarcastic review: "Why can't I see this book's name on the new book subscription chart? Is it being censored? Hahahaha~~~"

Soon, Lu Xiaobei rushed out and angrily denounced the man's shamelessness and despicable behavior.

I can even picture Lu Xiaobei squatting in front of the stall, frantically typing on his phone, and I can't help but find it a little funny.

It's okay, so be it if I fail...

No one in this world succeeds easily...

……

Just as Lu Xiaobei had said, Zhao Yihang did not appear for a long time, so I waited until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Finally, a lonely, desolate figure appeared in front of the internet cafe.

Zhao Yihang, you're back in action!

"Ding Han, thank you for your hard work..."

He held a small bag of roasted chestnuts and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry to have made you cover for so many shifts these past few days. This bag of chestnuts is a small token of my appreciation."

"Leave it alone."

I looked up at him and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm a little weak, but my overall condition is okay."

He sat in the chair, supporting his back like an old man, and looked really weak.

"Beep beep~~~"

Just then, my phone rang, and it was Lin Qingying's number.

"what happened?"

"I forgot my front door key." Lin Qingying asked, "Are you home?"

"No, I worked overtime today."

"Then I'll come and get it. Send me the location of your workplace."

"Row!"

So I sent her the location of Feiyang Internet Cafe.

Then, glancing at Zhao Yihang's appearance, she said, "How about we forget it? You don't need to go to work. I'll cover for you until midnight, and then Yingzi will take over. You should go home and rest early."

"That's so embarrassing..."

Zhao Yihang said, "I'll stay here with you for a while. Anyway, I don't have anything to do when I get back."

"what ever."

……

Shortly after, a white Bentley pulled up on the side of the road in front of the internet cafe. The window rolled down, and Lin Qingying looked over.

"I rely on..."

Zhao Yihang was stunned for a moment: "Ding Han, look! That woman is so beautiful... and the car she drives, holy crap, it's a Bentley Flying Spur? She must be so rich... and why is she parked in front of our internet cafe?"

"She came to see me."

I peeked in.

"Just blow it."

Zhao Yihang laughed: "You're from the same world as her? A woman like that... people like us can't even reach a hair's breadth of her. Really, you need to know your place, especially you." "..."

I was speechless for a moment, then got up and walked towards Lin Qingying, then took out the front door key from my pocket and handed it to her.

"and many more."

Lin Qingying called me over, picked up a plastic bag from the passenger seat, and said, "These are fruits a colleague gave me, but I don't really like them, so I'm giving them to you."

It was a bag of dark, unappetizing things called mangosteens; I'd eaten them a few times before.

I felt a little embarrassed, as I couldn't accept such a gift without having done anything in return. This bag of mangosteens must have been quite expensive.

"I'll go back first."

Lin Qingying shifted gears and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

I called out to her, then ran back to the internet cafe and took down the still-hot roasted chestnuts from the counter. Actually, I don't really like chestnuts, so I just handed the bag through the car window: "Here, a return gift."

"Oh?"

Lin Qingying hesitated for a moment, then accepted the gift and placed it on the passenger seat, saying, "Then I'll go back."

"Ah."

She drove away slowly.

……

"Brother, you really are my brother now..."

Zhao Yihang slumped in his chair like a deflated balloon: "Such a beautiful, elegant, and incredibly wealthy woman, where did you meet her? Can you teach your brother?"

"This depends on talent; I can't teach you."

I placed the mangosteen on the table and said, "Try it, this is the fruit I got in exchange for chestnuts."

"Exchange? Chestnuts aren't worthy of that..."

Zhao Yihang said, "My bag of chestnuts only costs 12 yuan, but these mangosteens are much more expensive. In this kind of weather, these fruits are expensive, and the label on the mangosteens looks like they are imported. This small bag costs at least 300 yuan, which is not something that ordinary people can afford."

"So expensive? I have to try it."

I picked one up, peeled it open, and it was indeed very sweet.

Zhao Yihang was heartbroken. He sat down and started eating like crazy, saying, "I'll never have a chance with a woman like that in my life, but it doesn't matter. It's good to be able to eat the fruit she gave me."

I glanced at him and said, "Can you stop being such a loser?"

"Is this all there is to your life? Do you really expect to turn things around?"

Zhao Yihang chuckled: "Ding Han, who exactly is that goddess from earlier? How do you know her? You really can't reveal anything?"

"Actually, I'm not very familiar with her."

I told her the truth: "My previous roommate moved out, and she is my new roommate. We are roommates. She forgot to bring the living room key today and came to get it."

"That's it..."

Zhao Yihang breathed a sigh of relief: "So she's not your girlfriend after all... Okay, that makes me feel much better."

"Get out!"

"Hahahahaha~~~"

……

Around 11 o'clock.

Lu Xiaobei returned like a delinquent girl, sneaking upstairs furtively.

"stop!"

I stopped her with a loud shout.

"Wh...what's wrong?" she asked, looking guilty.

"Why are you so late?" I asked, frowning.

"A new bar opened in the old town and asked me to be a model for their photos, so I'm a little late..."

"A lot of money?"

"Quite a lot!"

She became interested and leaned closer, smiling, "A set of photos, eight hundred yuan!"

As she spoke, her gaze suddenly fell on the few mangosteens left, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. She said, "Where did these mangosteens come from? I... I haven't eaten mangosteens in so long..."

"Take them all!"

"okay!"

Lu Xiaobei carried the bag upstairs.

"Brother, you should go back first."

Zhao Yihang said, "Yingzi will be here soon. I'll feel bad if you stay here with me like this."

"Alright, I'm leaving now. You can handle things here yourself."

"Row!"

So, he left the internet cafe, walked down the street hungry, and then took out his phone to send a message to Lin Qingying: "I just got off work, are you still awake?"

"No, I'm in the living room. Knock when you arrive."

"it is good."

……

After going upstairs, I knocked on the door.

But Lin Qingying was very wary and asked from inside the door, "Who is it?"

"I am Ding Han."

She opened the door only after hearing that it was me.

I glanced at the coffee table, where there was a laptop and stacks of documents. Some of the documents were labeled not with Xidong Electrical Appliances City, but with the words "Yuening Group".

She must be more than just an intern at Xidong Electronics City. Otherwise, even the general manager of Xidong Electronics City wouldn't be able to afford a luxury car worth three or four million, since the electronics city isn't that big.

I opened the refrigerator and took out a bag of instant noodles and an egg.

"Do you want to eat?"

He glanced back at her.

Lin Qingying was still very busy. She just shook her head and continued to look down at the documents.
