New Century Warriors

Chapter 72 The Artistic Girl's New Job

"Repression...?" Anlashi didn't know the meaning of this word, tilting her head in confusion. "What do you mean by 'repression'?"

"It means not having a sex life. I believe the two root causes of unhappiness are not having money and not having a sex life, and these two root causes will bring two different symptoms. Without money, anyone will feel inferior; without a sex life, anyone will defend themselves..."

Lei Ye offered an explanation, and after listening to him, Anlaxi became even more frail, curling up slightly.

The changes in his facial expressions were also fascinating, conveying both shame and relief.

After a long silence, she whispered to Lei Ye, her voice choked with emotion.

"As expected, you really understand my vulnerability and sensitivity... Perhaps, you have always been with me, and I am the happiest woman in the world."

"What do you mean?"

Just as he was about to offer her some advice, Lei Ye was momentarily speechless upon hearing her say that.

"You've been watching me all along, haven't you?"

"Hey, hey, you can't just say things like that. When did I start watching you?"

He waved his hands repeatedly in denial, saying it was impossible. Anlashi from Line 2 had been almost always in the Land of the Demi-humans, while Lei Ye had been kept under Ye Lei's control in Xilius. The two had almost no contact, so how could they have started spying on each other?

All along, Raino has only ever been the one being stalked.

"Then how could you know about my repression if you weren't spying on me?"

"Isn't that obvious? I can tell at a glance who's suppressing their boss."

"Suppressing the boss, huh... Ah! Speaking of which, you just now... Ah... You really are."

Anlashi has become even more delicate. It's hard to imagine that such a large body could be shrunk into such a small ball. This posture makes her chest taut, giving the impression that she might explode at any moment.

She suddenly covered her face and made whimpering noises.

Twisting...

"No, big sister... what's wrong with you now?"

"Suppression against suppression, doesn't it feel like a destined duel between a hero and a demon king? They're already fighting so fiercely during youth training before they've even established a relationship. I'm afraid it'll be a bloodbath when they play in the official matches."

Although it was unclear where Anlashi had learned those words, Lei Ye finally gave up trying to appease her. This old friend had been corrupted too much to be corrected in a short time.

"So, Anrashi," Lei Ye sighed wearily, "you're up late at night, sneaking into my studio. Something's up, isn't it? Let's talk. Get down to business, finish this and go back to sleep. Don't cause me any more trouble by acting crazy here."

"It's nothing, what could be wrong with me?" Anlaxi opened her eyes wide, as if she was surprised by Lei Ye's words. "Because I'm working for you for money, but you won't let me do any work, so I'm free and came to see what you're doing. Actually, I wanted to chat with you during the day, but you seemed very busy, so I came over now."

"So you're just bored and have nothing better to do?"

"Yeah, before, in the circus, besides training and performing, I also had to do heavy lifting and train new people. I worked about twelve hours a day, and there wasn't much free time. Now, although it's very comfortable to be so leisurely, it's a bit boring. So I came to your room to see if you could arrange something for me to do."

"...Are you going to see me or not?"

Lei Ye remembered that when he rescued Anlashi on Line 1, she wasn't like this at all.

At that time, she first thanked him and then accepted the freedom that Lei Ye had declared to her, and spent a few days playing in Hills.

Then, claiming it was to repay a debt of gratitude, she actively tried to get closer to Raino and Loya, appearing relaxed and cheerful throughout, and continuously spreading good emotions to those around her like a comedian.

It can be said that she recovered her strength in a very short time; she is a strong and good woman.

And tonight...

Oh, knowing that she couldn't just eat and stay for free is, in a sense, part of her strong character, which is commendable; she's much better than Loya.

The main problem was that Lei Ye couldn't quite accept her outburst of madness.

"Then you...go and help with some housework," Raino said after thinking for a moment.

It can both give Anrahi something to do and help Venus relieve work pressure, killing two birds with one stone.

"No, I offered to help, but I was firmly refused."

"Strict words?"

"Yes, your maid is too dedicated. Holding the broom, she's like the dog back home that guards its food. I can't help it."

Well, although Lei Ye couldn't imagine Venus being possessive of her food, judging from her behavior when he took her to the red-light district last time, Anlaxi was telling the truth.

How should we solve the problem of Anrahi?

Also settled in the Lei family's house, Luo Ya could stay obediently in her room as long as she had snacks to eat, and could even read a book for a while, so there was no need to worry about her.

Ais was brought back by Ye Lei as if she were an orphan, so Lei Ye basically only needed to provide meals and didn't need to worry about anything else.

As for Anrashi's situation, it's more complicated. She was brought to Kermir's house by her, and the process was somewhat rough and chaotic, which is why their conversation was also a bit muddled.

"well..."

Lei Ye put down his tools; it seemed his work for the night was over.

We need to sort out the Anrahi issue first; we can't let things remain in this state of chaos.

"Come with me."

With Anlashi by his side, Raino went to his bedroom.

Upon entering the room, Anlaxi was completely absorbed in Niu Ni again. Lei Ye had truly had enough and, before she could say anything that could be easily misunderstood, quickly opened the laptop on the table.

Writer's Assistant, activated!

"Come, come, sit here."

Lei Ye pulled out a chair and pressed Anlaxi down onto it.

"Boss Lei, what are you doing...?"

"I'm asking you, what was the task I assigned you before?"

"I summon goblins every now and then and bring them over for you to examine, but you're always disappointed; you're never satisfied with my summons..."

Anrahi's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Perhaps because he felt he hadn't performed up to his salary, Raino asked this question, implying something.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached into her cleavage, pulled out several large gold coins, and presented them to him with both hands.

It's not actually Anrahi's problem...

It was all because of that Kermirian who messed things up. According to the standards of a traditional summoner, Anrashi's abilities cannot be used properly. If Raiye had handled the predicament Kermirian was in, he would have taken Anrashi to the place where she used her abilities and started searching from the nearest place.

There are many hidden mechanisms about Anrashi's abilities that are not mentioned in writing, and even Anrashi herself is unaware of them. Only those who have worked with her in battles to develop these mechanisms know about them.

In conclusion, the job that Kermira gave to Anrahi was indeed meaningless.

Lei Ye took back the large gold coins, then took out the same number of large gold coins from his storage bag and handed them to Anlaxi.

This was certainly not because he thought the few milk-scented gold coins that Anlaxi had taken out had any special value, which was why he did this pointless and unnecessary thing. Rather, it represented that Lei Ye wanted to solemnly hand over another job that he had just thought of to Anlaxi, as he was rehiring her.

"What is this?" Anlashi was a little confused after receiving the large gold coin, not knowing what Lei Ye meant.

Lei Ye's expression turned serious, and his tone became serious as well.

"Although I don't know what I misunderstood before, I hope you can understand that there is no special reason for letting you stay here. This guest room was originally prepared for the workers who might work in this house. It's like a staff dormitory, so you don't need to feel like you're living under someone else's roof."

Anlaxi remained unmoved, staring straight at Raiye.

That gaze made Lei Ye feel a little uneasy.

She suddenly spoke.

"However, apart from Miss Venus, who works as a maid, all the other girls staying in the guest rooms are pretty girls who just sit around doing nothing. Boss Lei, I'm not criticizing you, but is it so hard for you to just admit you're a pervert?"

"Damn it." Lei Ye instantly lost his serious demeanor.

There's no way to explain the situation regarding Line 1 and Line 2 to outsiders.

From an outsider's perspective, it does indeed seem to have that connotation.

"Stop talking nonsense! You want to work, right? I'll give you work. Here you go, this is the mouse, this is the keyboard, and this is the writer's assistant."

"I'll sell a gunhead for a small gold coin, what a rip-off, Boss Lei! No wonder you're so rich. My dad used to have a shrewd businessman friend who, whenever he got drunk, would laugh and say things like how the most satisfying thing was using the money he squeezed out of explorers to support beautiful young female explorers who couldn't afford to live. It's disgusting! Boss Lei, you seem like a good person, but you can't do such scum! I truly despise you!"

"Who gave you permission to look through my ledgers without my consent! Here, I told you to order this!"

I was so angry at my old teammate that I almost fainted.

Seeing the ledger, Lei Ye realized that he hadn't worked for a while as an engineer, but he really didn't have much time, so he put the matter aside for the time being and instructed Anlashi to click the mouse to open one of his old books.

Anrahi suddenly pulled his right hand away from the mouse.

Anrashi brought her fingertips to her nose and smelled them, frowned slightly, and glanced at Lei Ye. However, Lei Ye stared straight at the screen without changing his expression, so Anrashi hesitated for a moment and then held the fingertips again.

"You have five minutes to read this chapter."

"What is this... a storybook? It's amazing that so many words can be written in such a small thing, and it's so easy to flip through. It's really high-tech."

"Don't worry about that, just look at it first."

It's been a long time since I've returned to my old profession.

Although on Line 1, in the end, none of the members of the Forest River knew about my side hustle or read my writings, Raino knew very well that they would like these stories.

From an artistic perspective, Lei Ye had paid special attention to Anlaxi. She was indeed a very easygoing person, but occasionally she could utter particularly artistic or common yet very reasonable sentences.

After all, she was the daughter of a mine owner and received a very good education from a young age. Unlike Antoola, she was not strictly controlled and had a freer way of thinking.

...And now there's an added layer of extreme sexual repression.

She might be the only person in Mori no Kawa who has achieved something in literature.

"Oh my god! What happened? Was this book unfinished? Who taught this author to release a book before it's even finished? Isn't that cheating people?!"

After reading the last paragraph, Anlashi let out a loud shout, fiddled with the screen, and turned her head to the back, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the rest.

Because this book, "Transmigrating to Another World: My Domineering Female Fan Falls in Love with Me," has already been abandoned, unless Mr. Raiye from the second storyline reappears and regains control of the body, the progress will remain stuck here.

However, Anrahi's behavior shows that she has become interested, and that's enough.

"Listen carefully, Allah, from now on, I have a new job for you."

"What...?"

'

Lei Ye patted her shoulder solemnly, as if he were about to pass on some treasured secret to her.

"Be my ghostwriter."

This time, because of the foreshadowing, Anlashi didn't misunderstand, but those two words still made her eyes widen, clearly not understanding.

"What...?"

"Ha! You didn't understand all those avant-garde words just now, did you? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know what you're going to do. It's very simple. Look, this book ended here, right? You can continue writing."

The term "gunman" was also unfamiliar to Lei Ye. At least he had seen many people write books with the same style as him, but he couldn't find one even if he wanted to.

However, people often came to him asking if they could borrow his old, sealed books to continue writing, and Lei Ye always agreed.

Here, Raino is having Anlaxi continue writing, which is similar to having Loya read a book. He's giving her something to do that will keep her in check. After a while, Anlaxi should be able to sense the atmosphere of Raino's house, and the conversation like before won't happen again.

Lei Ye brought over a stool, put it down, and sat down next to Anlaxi, nodding in greeting.

"Alright, you can start writing now."

"...Really? You're suddenly asking me to write a book? I don't know how!"

"It's okay, just keep writing."

It's just a job to pass the time; it doesn't matter if it's well-written or poorly written.

However, Lei Ye decided to read a passage written by Anlaxi before continuing with his work.

Anlahi thought about it for a long time before finally starting.

Since it was her first time using a keyboard, she typed very slowly, but thankfully the default language of this world was Simplified Chinese, so even though it was slow, she was still able to keep going.

The story progresses to the point where the protagonist's team faces the third elite monster under the evil god's command, who is also the mini-boss of this volume.

The protagonist, Xiao Lei, has used up all his consumables, all his abilities are on cooldown, and his physical condition is in a terrible state.

But it didn't matter; a sword stood before him.

That was the sword the female protagonist left for him.

Anlaxi only read part of this chapter and didn't expect that the female protagonist would be involved in this part of the story. However, the second storyline's Raiye devoted a lot of words to describing this sword, and there was even a revolving scene. It seems that the next plot is about him wielding this sword and starting to unleash his power to fight back.

However, after thinking for a long time, Anlashi did not rush to let Xiao Lei start his counterattack, but continued to depict Xiao Lei's rapid-fire attacks.

Lei Ye thought to himself, "As expected of the promising talent I've chosen. If I were to write it, I would first need to add some supplements to this flashback to make the subsequent counterattack seem more reasonable."

This is what Anrahi wrote:

Xiao Lei felt very upset, and his thoughts drifted further away, recalling how he had experienced similar distress when he was a child.

It was a night with torrential rain when Xiao Lei developed a high fever.

"After his mother found out he was sick, she carried him on her back to the nearest small church despite the heavy rain outside."

Lei Ye slapped Anlaxi across the chest, making her scream in pain.

"Get lost!"
