Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Jiang Mian's voice was very soft, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned as she spoke, carrying a hint of the sweetness of being in love.

"They really are together!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Chen felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by a hand, making it hard to breathe.

More than two months have passed since Jiang Mian left Base City No. 144.

Presumably, the two had already started flirting from the first time he saw Ye Chenyang escorting Jiang Mian home.

Given that she and Ye Chenyang have spent so much time together these past two months, it would be strange if they weren't together.

Even though he had expected it, Wang Chen still felt a little empty inside.

He couldn't help but recall a certain afternoon when he secretly glanced at Jiang Mian's profile in the classroom, his helplessness when she was being harassed, and...

That hand that ultimately didn't reach out.

If I had been brave enough to stand up back then, would the outcome have been different?

But he knew that even if he had mustered the courage to lend a helping hand, Jiang Mian might not have liked him.

He is not good enough for her.

It's just... a bit of a shame.

"That's good."

Wang Chen gave a stiff smile, and even his speech was somewhat stammering.

Congratulations!

Even if one is truly a so-called "genius," it cannot make up for personality flaws.

It was precisely because Elder Zhong saw this that he sent him to the western front to hone his skills.

Moreover, Wang Chen heard some incredible news from those who were trying to win him over.

Ye Chenyang is at the pinnacle of [Glory]!

How can I compare to someone so dazzling?

Moreover, Wang Chen had confirmed with Yun Han that it was true!

In his eyes, Jiang Mian was a good girl—understanding, gentle, and kind.

Both parties are very lucky to have met such a talented and virtuous genius.

Judging from her current treatment, you can imagine that the other party must treat her very well!

"Wang Chen, Wang Chen, please don't bother them with unnecessary things."

He seemed to have figured things out, and he looked a little more relaxed.

However, the incident with Li Hao remained a thorn in his heart.

Whenever I think about it, I feel inexplicably sad.

It had nothing to do with Jiang Mian; it was just that he felt he was too worthless.

Jiang Mian secretly observed his changing expression, said nothing more, and simply thanked him softly.

"By the way, we've been here for a while now, where's Inspector Ye?"

Seeing that Wang Chen had finished asking his questions and was temporarily in an emo state, Yun Han quickly picked up the conversation.

"He's in seclusion."

Jiang Mian blinked, as if afraid of hurting Wang Chen, and did not specify Ye Chenyang's level.

"oh oh."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Han's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chenyang was the first to break through to the sixth rank?

The group chatted for a while longer, and Jiang Mian asked a few more questions about Lin Yun's recent situation.

Jiang Mian was finally relieved to learn that her life was going well and that she had been promoted and received a raise at work.

A moment later, the two said goodbye and left.

Jiang Mian stood at the door and watched them disappear around the corner before turning around, closing the door behind him, and entering the [world].

……

As Yunhan and Wang Chen descended the stairs, they ran into Yu Zhengmo.

Seeing that the two wanted to catch up, Wang Chen consciously walked into the room.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Yunhan? What are you doing here?"

He hooked his arm around Yunhan's shoulder and said eagerly:

"It's been so long since we last met."

"Huh? Haha, Brother Mo, what are you doing here?"

Yun Han scratched his head, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Something feels off.

Although he and Yu Zhengmo are from the same generation, they are more than ten years apart.

Every time we meet, the other person often teases me about "holding you when you were little," but now we've become much more distant, and I even feel a bit like a stranger.

Strange... has it been too long since we last met?

Yu Zhengmo lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Your niece Qingyuan has awakened the [Pingtian] power, so of course she should seek out [Wanxiang] to 'share in the joy'."

Yunhan instantly understood his unspoken meaning.

Borrowing the "power of heaven"?

Goodness, is the Yu family about to take off again?

If nothing unexpected happens, at least one more eighth-level expert will emerge within twenty years.

If you have good talent and a high elemental affinity, you might not even need ten years!

He thought for a moment, then, feeling he shouldn't spoil their fun, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and he asked "curiously":

"Did it work?"

"Of course!"

Yu Zhengmo raised his chin, looking like he was in a good mood.

"When we have some free time, we'll get together and celebrate."

He patted Yun Han on the shoulder, a faint trace of [Chaos] power emanating from his palm.

The lingering darkness remained on Yunhan's shoulder, writhing like a leech, trying to burrow into his body.

However, Yun Han seemed oblivious and continued chatting with Yu Zhengmo.

Through the mental connection, Yu Zhengmo sensed an invisible force seemingly surrounding Yun Han's body.

Even with its best efforts, the power of chaos could not make any progress and eventually dissipated into the air.

His gaze darkened.

"It failed?"

When Yun Ling obtained the power of [Chaos], he emphasized that he should not arbitrarily bring in people who were not part of the plan.

This power is strong, but currently it can only be applied to specific individuals.

In this world, everyone possesses a specific "momentum".

Only when one's own "potential" is unique enough can it merge with [chaos].

The Yun family and the Yu family are such examples.

The previous Zhao Niugao was only about 50% compatible, so they had to be forcibly merged.

After all, it's just a disposable consumable.

Let him carry out the plan when the time comes. If he fails, Yu Zhengmo can also get away unscathed, so as not to expose his family.

He originally thought that since Yun Han was a member of the Yun family and his "power" was connected to the Yun family, there shouldn't be any problem.

But why...?

Before Yu Zhengmo could even ponder the reason, Yun Han asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Since we've run into each other, let's catch up."

……

In the [World] scene, Ye Chenyang hugged Jiang Mian, who was snuggling up to him, seemingly without any surprise.

"Wang Chen is here?"

Jiang Mian nodded, touched the muscles on his chest, and even gave them a squeeze.

Tell him to pinch his own leg before he does it!

Although I had one of these before, touching someone else's feels completely different.

Ye Chenyang's ears turned a little red, but he didn't stop the mischievous little hand. He said in a serious tone:

"Remember the quota system I mentioned?"

"Um."

Jiang Mian had touched him enough and withdrew his hand without making a sound.

After reaching the fourth tier, the [Zhi Ge] skill will also grant two skills, named [Qi Yue Wu Yi] and [Yu Zi Tong Pao].

The key point is the latter.

It can recruit awakened individuals of the same path who are lower in level than itself and share "momentum".

In particular, the top twenty high-sequence targets can become "generals," providing a very high level of feedback.

The only condition for activating the "Comrades in Arms" tactic is that one must have complete faith in Xiao Shuang himself.

According to Ye Chenyang, this judgment is a bit difficult, and so far only one person meets the criteria.

Otherwise, Xiao Shuang would have surpassed Qin Xiao and entered the sixth rank long ago.

Fortunately, the opponent was [Wan Jun], a level 20 character. The benefits from just one person allowed him to catch up with Qin Xiao's progress.

As for the phrase "How can we say we have no clothes?", its effect is quite simple:

It provides up to 30% damage reduction to the entire group and can also share damage.

Later on, they can even share skill buffs.

"Brother Ye, if everything goes smoothly with Wang Chen's arrival, what are the chances that Brother Xiao will directly reach the sixth rank?"

"Nine out of ten..."

Ye Chenyang originally wanted to say 100%, but to avoid jinxing it, he decided to be more conservative.

In his previous life, Wang Chen did not meet Xiao Shuang, and neither of them reached their best state, which was a considerable regret.

But that's not the point.

Although Jiang Mian addressed Qin Xiao and Xiao Shuang politely, she still felt something was off.

"Mianmian, it's just the two of us here, no need to call him Brother Xiao, just call him by his name."

Jiang Mian blinked and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"no."

Ye Chenyang appeared calm and composed, with a mature and reliable demeanor, and did not seem naive at all.

But in Jiang Mian's eyes, he was clearly jealous.

Suddenly seized by a playful impulse, she leaned close to Ye Chenyang's ear and whispered in a teasing tone:

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Brother Chenyang~"
