I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 289 The Shocked Qin Empress, Everyone Plays Three Kingdoms Kill
In the elevator.

Qin Yumo, who had just returned from meeting with a client, was leaning against the elevator handrail.

She yawned slightly and stared blankly at the red numbers on the elevator screen.

It has been a month since I moved into Love Apartment.

Apartment life is indeed more comfortable and fulfilling than renting a place by herself.

My interesting roommates are Meijia, Xiaoxian, and Zhanbo.

The food was also good.

Especially Gu Yifan's cooking skills; after Qin Yumo tasted them once, she even considered hiring him as her chef.

Besides, living with my best girlfriends, watching dramas together, gossiping together, and shopping together are all very pleasant.

The only thing that troubled Qin Yumo was that she discovered her best friend Yifei's hidden secret.

A secret that could explode at any moment and blow up my best friend Yifei to pieces.

From the night she discovered Yifei sneaking off to 3601, Qin Yumo had taken the matter to heart and paid close attention to it.

After a month of observation.

Qin Yumo was certain of one thing.

Her best friend had an affair with a guy who already had a girlfriend!

And that boy happened to be the man she had once had a crush on.

Although Ms. Hu always tries her best to hide her feelings when Gu Yifan is mentioned.

But you can't fake liking someone.

Furthermore, Qin Yumo did not deny it.

She had also had some feelings for Gu Yifan, a young, handsome, and wealthy man.

Especially the experience that night, Gu Yifan's steadfast back shielded her from the danger of the thugs.

Another example is a ferocious beast descending from the mountain and pouncing on a flock of sheep, showcasing the beauty of violence to the fullest.

She understood that feeling of her heart fluttering.

But when Qin Yumo learned that Gu Yifan had a girlfriend, she quietly calmed the turmoil that had once stirred in her heart.

But she had been playing with him since childhood, and he was basically her best friend, yet she became more and more deeply involved with him.

Sometimes, even Qin Yumo would be taken aback.

Is Yifei really the same Yifei she knows? The warm-hearted, kind-hearted, and passionate Hu Yifei?

Through her best friend, Qin Yumo saw the changes that love had brought to Hu Yifei. Her personality had gradually become gentler, and although she still had a temper, she was not as irritable as before.

Even in terms of appearance, you can see the care she's given her best friend. Hu Yifei's skin is so beautiful that even Qin Yumo, who is an expert in skincare, is a little envious.

But this was ultimately a mistake.

The relationship between the two can be kept secret for a while, but can it be kept secret forever?

They have no future, especially someone like Lin Wanyu, whose background, appearance, and personality are all top-notch.

Qin Yumo couldn't believe how Yifei could win!
Women's prime is inherently shorter than men's.

If Hu Yifei continues down this path, she will not only have no future, but she will also waste her youth.

She couldn't just watch her best friend get deeper and deeper into this mess!
Qin Yumo had wanted to have an open and honest conversation with her best friend several times about what kind of magic Gu Yifan possessed that could make Yifei fall for him.

But the words were on the tip of my tongue, and I couldn't bring myself to say them directly.

What was she going to say?
I told Yifei that what you're doing is wrong, and to stop, Afei.

Given Yifei's stubborn nature, she definitely wouldn't accept it, and their friendship might even be strained.

This is not what Qin Yumo wanted to see.

She didn't want to expose the relationship between Hu Yifei and Gu Yifan so easily.

Unless Hu Yifei tells her on her own initiative.

If you want to save your best friend, you can only use Gu Yifan as a breakthrough point and make him leave your best friend on his own initiative.

However, Qin Yumo hadn't figured out how to confront Gu Yifan yet.

However, no matter what, she couldn't just sit idly by.

I thought to myself.

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the sixth floor, and the doors opened.

Qin Yumo snapped out of her thoughts and stepped out of the elevator.

Suite 3603.

Qin Yumo took out her key and pushed open the door, only to find no one in the living room except for the TV, which was still on.

"Strange, why didn't they turn off the TV when they went out?"

"Yifei? Meijia?"

Qin Yumo frowned and called out loudly.

If no one is in the suite, the TV should definitely be turned off.

No one answered, but Qin Yumo didn't pay much attention. She put down her bag and plopped down on the sofa.

Just as I was about to call Hu Yifei to ask what we wanted to eat for dinner.

"Click."

The sound of the door opening caught Qin Yumo's attention, and she turned her head to look.

"Yifei?"

Hu Yifei, wearing a nightgown, walked out of the room. She looked like she had just woken up, and her hair was a little messy.

When Hu Yifei saw Qin Yumo, a hint of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she greeted him with an awkward smile.

"Yu Yu Mo, you're back?"

"Hmmmm~"

Qin Yumo nodded with a smile and stretched. "I've successfully secured the client. What should we eat tonight?"

As she spoke, Qin Yumo stood up, preparing to take off her denim dress.

"Yifei, can you zip up my fly?" Qin Yumo said, her fair back already showing.

Hu Yifei shuddered and quickly slammed the door shut.

"Yu Mo, go back and change your clothes."

Qin Yumo smiled gently, "What's the big deal? It's just the two of us in the room anyway."

Hu Yifei remained silent, thinking to herself, "Who said it was just the two of us?"

"That won't do either. I've heard that recently there have been perverted men using binoculars to peep at women changing clothes from the next building! The community is reminding women to be aware of their privacy and safety."

Qin Yumo was surprised, "Really?"

"Alright then." Qin Yumo zipped the zipper up again, and Hu Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought Qin Yumo would go back to her room to change, she lay back down on the sofa and didn't move.

"Yu Mo, why don't you go back and change your clothes?" Hu Yifei asked, trying to appear calm.

But my heart was urging me to go back quickly, to go back quickly.

At the same time, Hu Yifei was also a little angry. She had told Gu Yifan to hurry up, but this guy seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

Now that's good, Qin Yumo is back.

She was inside when she heard Qin Yumo calling her, and she was startled. She quickly put on her clothes and came out.

Just as Hu Yifei was inwardly grumbling about a certain slow-moving jerk...

"Yifei, why do you want me to go back to my room so badly?"

Qin Yumo's strange question made Hu Yifei's body tremble.

"No, no, Yifan just played a Three Kingdoms Kill game. Zeng Xiaoxian and the others are playing it in room 3602. Yu Mo, hurry up and change your clothes, let's go join in the fun." Hu Yifei quickly came up with an excuse.

"Three Kingdoms Kill? It sounds like a game for boys, it's not interesting." Qin Yumo pouted.

Hu Yifei: "."

"I won't tell you who got angry last time because a guy went to an internet cafe to play CrossFire and didn't invite her~"

Qin Yumo blushed, "You're so annoying, Yifei~"

She actually really enjoys playing games; she's a true gaming goddess.

"Really not going? Then I'll go." Hu Yifei gradually relaxed and asked with a glance in her beautiful eyes.

"Fine, since that's the case, I'll go take a look." Qin Yumo thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

However, when the topic came up, Qin Yumo bit her lip and said again.

"Yifei, how are Yifan and Wanyu doing lately?"

"Ah, that's great." Hu Yifei blinked and said, "Wanyu is busy being a modern woman and working hard on her career, what does a man matter?"

Qin Yumo thought to herself, "So you're going to help her take care of the man then."

But it's just a thought.

Seeing that Hu Yifei remained silent, Qin Yumo added, "Wanyu is also very carefree; she's not worried about Yifan getting involved with other women at school."

Hu Yifei just wanted Qin Yumo to leave quickly, and subconsciously said, "I'm keeping an eye on the school, he wouldn't dare!"

Qin Yumo: "."

Silly sister, you're exactly what I was worried about.

After thinking it over, Qin Yumo decided to be more open about things and test her best friend's reaction.

"Aren't you worried that Wanyu will find out?"

"Oh dear, Wanyu already knew. Let's go, let's go." Ms. Hu impatiently pursed her lips slightly, while Qin Yumo seemed to be questioning her life.

understood?
What do you know?

Is your relationship really that complicated?
Qin Yumo wanted to get to the bottom of things, but she was somewhat confused.

"Then I'll change my clothes first," Qin Yumo said quickly. "Yifei, you go ahead."

"also."

Hu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, she finally got Qin Yumo to leave the living room.

Qin Yumo, who was questioning the meaning of life, entered her room.

Hu Yifei was just about to tell Gu Yifan to leave quickly.

The door that had been closed unexpectedly opened again.

Hu Yifei's heart tightened. "What's wrong?"

"Yifei~ Could you help me with my zipper?" Qin Yumo said shyly.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Hu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

After Qin Yumo closed the door, Hu Yifei waited a while before quickly running to open her own door.

Gu Yifan was sitting in the room, dressed neatly, flipping through a 'love letter'.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Hu Yifei was even more furious. What kind of time was this to be reading a book?

"Get out."

Before Hu Yifei could urge him, Gu Yifan put down his book, got up, and quickly walked out of the room. Faced with Hu Yifei's glare that seemed to want to tear him apart, Gu Yifan felt somewhat innocent; it wasn't entirely his fault.

Even though Hu Yifei herself hadn't relaxed her legs, which were still straight and beautiful, she still hadn't relaxed them.

"I'll deal with you later." Hu Yifei pinched Gu Yifan and quickly pushed him out of suite 3603.

"boom!"

Gu Yifan was locked out.

Only then did Hu Yifei breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yifei?"

Hearing the door close, Qin Yumo opened it in confusion and peeked inside. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I thought there was a knock on the door. I'm coming right now."

Hu Yifei walked over quickly.

Doorway.

Gu Yifan's expression, however, did not remain calm at first; it became somewhat strange.

It's all because of the system prompt.
[Your secret engagement with Hall Master Hu has been discovered by the astute Empress. She hasn't taken any concrete action yet, but today, while you were chatting with Hall Master Hu, the Empress inadvertently witnessed it. She is extremely displeased with your affair with her childhood friend.]

To avoid disappointing the Empress, leaving the coastal city, and losing your future trump card of using the Empress to command the other lords, you decide to take the initiative and win over the Empress!

[Please increase the Empress's favorability towards you as soon as possible, have an open and honest conversation with her, and use your personal charm to win her over.]

[Mission Successful: Affection level cap increased, other rewards received]

OK OK.

Gu Yifan knew that he had received a system notification the day before Wan Yu returned, reminding him that Qin Yumo had noticed something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yumo still believed that something had happened between the two of them.

Just now, inside the room, although the door was tightly closed, Gu Yifan was still able to hear the two women talking.

Ms. Hu's naive reply almost made Gu Yifan lose his composure. He guessed that Yifei still thought Qin Yumo meant to keep an eye on him and didn't understand what Qin Yumo meant.

But Qin Yumo's question proved one thing: she saw through the relationship between the two.

This is really troublesome.

Gu Yifan needed to think about how to persuade Qin Yumo.

When Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo arrived at suite 3601.

Gu Yifan was already playing the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill" with Teacher Zeng and the others.

"Oh, what a rare guest! Yifei and Yumo, what brings you to our suite?"

Lu Ziqiao was looking at the cards he had drawn with a smile when he saw the two of them walk in and greeted them.

At the same time, don't forget to play a kill card.

"Kill him! Teacher Zeng, you're dead! I told you, even Jesus couldn't save you!"

"Traitor, you traitor!"

Zeng Xiaoxian, who had finally managed to become the Lord, was killed by Zi Qiao, who had mastered the game rules and had good luck, leaving him with only one drop of blood.

This would infuriate Ziqiao, and how could he not play by the rules of the factory?

"To catch the thief, first catch the king, don't you understand?"

Ziqiao was very pleased with himself.

He chose to strike at the heart of the enemy from the outset, rather than pretending to conceal his identity as a rebel.

According to him, even if I, Lü Xiaobu, am to be a rebel, I will be one openly and honestly, just like Lü Fengxian.

Gu Yifan: Hmm, what a traitor.

"Is there anyone to protect me?" Zeng Xiaoxian cried out. "Zhanbo, please help me!"

Zhanbo helped Zeng Xiaoxian twice, but unfortunately he failed to kill Ziqiao, giving him room to maneuver.

Zhanbo looked completely innocent. "I'm sorry, Teacher Zeng, I can't save you."

Gu Yifan, however, calmly played a peach, saving Zeng Xiaoxian's life from imminent danger.

He glanced at Ms. Hu and Ms. Qin at the same time, "They're here. This round is almost over. Let's play together later."

"Okay." Miss Qin's expression was still somewhat strange.

Next up is Zhanbo.

"Ziqiao, you're doomed!" Zeng Xiaoxian laughed loudly, feeling that fate was on his side.

Even if there is only one loyal minister, the traitor cannot fight him one-on-one until the rebels and loyal ministers are eliminated.

Therefore, Zeng Xiaoxian was not in a hurry at all. He first kicked Ziqiao out of the game, and then slowly figured out whether Gu Yifan or Zhanbo was the traitor.

As for the second traitor, Zeng Xiaoxian already had some guesses.

Yes, it must be you, Guan Gu!

But just when Zeng Xiaoxian thought victory was in his grasp...

Zhanbo revealed a calm smile, raised his hand and unleashed a killing move, "Sorry, Teacher Zeng, kill!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Zhanbo, are you going to kill me?"

“That’s right.” Zhanbo nodded.

"Why?" Zeng Xiaoxian was about to collapse. "The traitor can't kill the lord at the start of the game."

But Zhanbo innocently picked up his identity card, saying, "But I'm a rebel."

Zeng Xiaoxian fell silent, his expression gradually turning to despair. He looked at Gu Yifan and said, "Save me."

Gu Yifan sighed, "Your Majesty, I am powerless to help you."

Thus, the lord is finished, and the rebels have won.

"Yes!" Zhanbo and Ziqiao gave each other a high five.

"Teacher Zeng, how could you die so quickly?" Guan Gu complained, while showing off his identity.

"Loyal Minister"

After reading it, Zeng Xiaoxian felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head. "You, Guan Gu, are you a loyal subject? Then who are you?"

Gu Yifan then said helplessly, "I'm the mole."

"Teacher Zeng, your IQ is not high enough to play this game."

The game is over.

Even without watching from the beginning, just watching this exciting last part had already piqued the interest of Qin Yumo and Hu Yifei.

Especially Hu Yifei, whose eyes were shining, said, "Zeng Xiaoxian, get out of the way, I'll do it!"

"This game looks quite interesting," Ms. Qin said.

Guan Gu nodded repeatedly, "Right? Chinese culture is profound and extensive. I love the Three Kingdoms so much."

Guan Gu is also a fan of the Three Kingdoms period.

Gu Yifan smiled and said, "Everyone can play. It's more lively with more people. This is a board game I made for the party."

Now there are seven people in total.

Guan Gu volunteered to explain the rules to Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo, and they understood them easily.

However, with Guan Gu's accent, it becomes difficult to understand.

"Was this game designed by your company, Yifan?" Upon hearing this, Qin Yumo realized just how highly playable the game was.

"No." Gu Yifan shook his head.

Everyone was startled.

But then Gu Yifan coughed, pointed to himself, and said with a smile.

"To be precise, I designed it all by myself."

"Really?" Zeng Xiaoxian was somewhat skeptical.

Is this something one person can handle?

Zhanbo, who had already joined the company, stepped forward to help confirm this.

“I can testify that it was indeed designed by Brother Gu himself.”

Zhanbo's tone was filled with admiration.

Within half a month of joining Gu Yifan's game company, he quickly demonstrated his exceptional talent in game development.

In the programming department, he began to show his talent, accelerating the development speed of the PC version of Three Kingdoms Kill by at least 30%.

It's fair to say that Zhanbo was born to enter the gaming industry.

At the new company, Zhanbo experienced a completely different atmosphere compared to his old company.

He really enjoyed the feeling of discussing the game with everyone.

With Zhanbo as a witness, the astonishment of the crowd goes without saying.

"You guys play first." Gu Yifan stood up. "Remember to give me your feedback later. I'm going back now."

"Old Gu, aren't you done playing? Let's play one more round," Zi Qiao urged.

"No, I have work to do." Gu Yifan waved and left.

After Gu Yifan left.

"Tsk tsk tsk, sometimes the difference between people is even greater than the difference between a person and a pig." Lu Ziqiao shook his head and sighed. He was certain that this game would be a hit.

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded and boasted, "That's right, my wisdom is only slightly inferior to Yifan's. Hey, how come I never thought the Three Kingdoms could be played like this before?"

Zhanbo chuckled, "Haha, Teacher Zeng, don't flatter yourself."

"You should figure out the difference between equipment and mounts first."

"Hey Zhanbo!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was furious, but because he had just been so badly deceived, his explanations seemed so weak.

"Just wait, this time I'm going to avenge myself!" Zeng Xiaoxian gritted his teeth and urged, "Let's get started."

Judging from the looks of it, people who are trying this kind of board game for the first time can play all night long.

Gu Yifan was not surprised by this; he had long expected that the Three Kingdoms Kill game would suit everyone's tastes.

However, he had already tried it before, so he wasn't that excited.

Arriving at the study, which had previously been Zhanbo's room, I closed the door and prepared to continue writing.

But as soon as he sat down, Gu Yifan thought of Empress Qin.

How can I quickly increase her favorability and complete the task?

Gu Yifan opened the system and began searching through the items he currently possessed.

I'd like to see if I can find anything useful.

The result was unexpected.

A prop that he had completely forgotten about.

"blueprint"

It was a reward from the Nuolan mission, but Gu Yifan had been too busy lately to open it.

"Open it and take a look."
