Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen's lips twitched. Someone from his great-grandfather's generation had actually taken the initiative to add him as a friend...

Grandpa Zhou squeezed Ye Chen's hand tightly:

"Brother Ye, you saved my life. If you ever need my help in the future, just ask. I can't guarantee anything else, but in this small town of Lucheng, my word still carries weight!"

Ye Chen was a little embarrassed because Zhou Xingguo, the elder, happened to walk in at that moment and heard what he said!

If Old Master Zhou calls him Brother Ye, then wouldn't he indirectly become Old Master Zhou's elder?

Old Zhou, his face dark, said, "Dad, Brother Ye and I are of the same generation. By interfering, don't you make me a generation below him?"

"Oh, what's the big deal? We'll each do our own thing!" Old Master Zhou was very easygoing and didn't take it to heart at all.

Ye Chen nodded in deep agreement and looked at Old Zhou: "Yes, good nephew. From now on, we'll address each other differently. You call me Brother Ye, and I'll call you good nephew!"

Old Zhou stumbled and almost fell over.

Of course, Ye Chen was joking; he couldn't actually bring himself to call Old Zhou that.

"Brother Ye, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? Let's have a couple of drinks!" The old man was delighted and sincerely invited, "Little Xie, you should stay for dinner too! It'll be more lively with more people!"

"Hehe, great! It's been a long time since I drank with the old man; we'll have to drink to our hearts' content today!"

Old Zhou's granddaughter stood aside, speechless.

Ye Chen is about the same age as her, but suddenly he's her grandfather?

Where can she go to seek justice?

However, since it was rare for her great-grandfather to be so happy, she felt she didn't need to worry about these details.

As Grandpa said, let each of us do our own thing.

How about calling him Brother Ye Chen?

Hehe, it's not impossible!

My great-grandfather and grandfather call him "little brother," and I call him "big brother." Hmm, that seems reasonable!

That evening, the Zhou family hosted a family banquet to entertain Ye Chen!

The family dinner was very lively; it had probably been a long time since the family had been this cheerful. Everyone in the Zhou family was very happy.

Zhou Caiwei, the granddaughter of Old Zhou, frequently came over to toast Ye Chen.

Zhou Caiwei is about the same age as Ye Chen, and she keeps calling him "Brother Ye Chen," which makes Ye Chen feel all warm and fuzzy.

In the end, the old man was so happy that he accidentally got drunk and insisted on making Ye Chen a sworn brother.

Ye Chen also drank too quickly because Zhou Caiwei kept urging him to drink, and he got a little tipsy for a while.

The two embraced, ready to truly become sworn brothers!

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xie managed to stop them in the end!

If they were to become sworn brothers, they would truly be a generation below Ye Chen!

......

The next day, Ye Chen woke up at 10 a.m.!

Looking at the unfamiliar pink room, this must be the Zhou family's house, and most likely Zhou Caiwei's room.

Ye Chen patted his head; he had completely forgotten what happened last night.

All he remembered was that the old man wanted to make him sworn brothers with him.

As for whether the sworn brotherhood was successful, he had no recollection of it.

Ye Chen suddenly seemed to remember something, and he couldn't help but shudder. He looked at his clothes and touched his pockets!

The clothes were the same, only the shoes were off.

He finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he touched the Sumeru Needle Pouch!

Thankfully, the Sumeru Needle Bag is still here!

Losing this thing would be a huge loss, enough to make him heartbroken for years.

"How did I get so drunk without even realizing it? Drinking really makes things worse!" Ye Chen muttered, shaking his head.

Ye Chen pushed open the door and went downstairs. This was the first time Ye Chen had visited Old Zhou's home, even though he had known him for so long.

The Zhou family owns a proper large villa, four stories high, one of the larger villas in the Longjin residential area.

There are only seven or eight of these large-sized apartments in total, and they are all priced in the hundreds of millions. Moreover, they are already owned, so even if you have the money, you may not be able to buy one now!

The entire interior is decorated in a traditional Chinese style, giving it an antique feel and a very high-end look.

They look like a well-off family with some resources.

When Ye Chen arrived at the main hall, only the old man was there.

"Good morning, Grandpa!" Ye Chen greeted him.

The old man merely glanced at Ye Chen before continuing to frantically tap on his phone: "Brother Ye, you're awake! Let's go to the dining room for breakfast; it's keeping it warm!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Chen leaned forward in confusion.

Sure enough, the old man was playing the popular mobile game "Honor of Kings".

Holy crap, even Ye Chen was stunned!

"Don't stand next to me and you'll be affecting my performance, I'm about to engage in a team fight!"

The old man was very focused on the game; he truly is a great teammate in the Rift.

He played Old Arthur with incredible skill, and even managed to secure a kill in the end.

1-15-4, won the game!

Rank settled: Gold 5, one star!

"yeah!"

The old man nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad. We'll have to rely on me this time, otherwise they would have lost long ago!"

Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated!

Without you, my teammates probably would have won already...

Seeing Ye Chen's expression, the old man shook his head: "Brother, you don't understand. The top lane doesn't look at win-loss records. Don't be fooled by my 15 deaths; it was part of my strategy. As Lu Xun said, 'To destroy someone, first make them mad!'"

Ye Chen looked completely bewildered: "Did Lu Xun actually say that?"

"I told you, he said so much, it's normal that you don't know it!" the old man said seriously.

"How about it? Want me to carry you to the next rank?" The old man leaned forward, full of fighting spirit!

Ye Chen's lips twitched: "Um, I don't play games!"

"You're kidding me! I saw it all. You're the highest-ranked person on my friends list. Don't think you can look down on me just because you're Diamond!"

The old man looked displeased.

"I...I fell from the Star Glory rank, and I can't carry the MVP team!" Ye Chen explained.

"Alright, alright, brother, I'll show you how to log in!" The old man pulled Ye Chen down to sit.

The old man simply ignored the fact that Ye Chen hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

The old man and the young man teamed up and started their journey to climb the ranks!

An hour and a half later, the old man looked at his Silver II rank and his face was full of black lines!

"Hmm—, today isn't a good day for ranking up. Let's go eat!" The old man stood up abruptly.

Looking at his MVP record in every match, Ye Chen almost uninstalled the game.

Neither Mr. Zhou nor Zhou Caiwei came back for lunch.

Ye Chen had a simple meal with the old man and several aunts before taking his leave.

Before leaving, Old Zhou was full of confidence and insisted on dragging Ye Chen to continue ranking up.

Ye Chen decisively refused: "No, no, my dog ​​hasn't been fed yet. It's been a whole day, I'm afraid it'll faint from hunger!"

After saying that, Ye Chen left in a hurry!

If he continues like this, he will start to doubt himself.

Ye Chen returned to his courtyard, and Da Huang was overjoyed to see him.

It almost thought it had been forgotten again...

"Uh, sorry, I didn't cook today. How about I let you out and you find something to eat yourself?" Ye Chen said awkwardly to Da Huang.

Ye Chen couldn't bear to let the dog find its own food in the end, so he ordered dog food delivery for it.

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang. He saw that it was his mother calling.

"Hey son, your second uncle's family is going to Xiamen. Are you free?"
