Is it that time of year again?

"Squad leader, the bed is all set up for you. If you need anything else, just call me from the living room."

"There's one more thing..."

"Ok?"

Hearing the class monitor's call, Lin Qiu paused slightly in his steps and turned back with some confusion.

"You...you sit there first."

After glancing at the announcement on the screen again, Qin Yunmo made a firm decision and then stared intently at Lin Qiu.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Lin Qiu immediately became uneasy and asked somewhat anxiously—

"what happened?"

"Give me some more luck."

"Um???"

Lin Qiu stared blankly at his increasingly addicted class monitor, and before he could say anything, Qin Yunmo's hand was already on his back—

"It will be done soon, thank you for your help."

"Squad leader, if this keeps up, I'll really be drained..."

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes and muttered to herself, but still didn't refuse. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so she decided to let her do it.

Qin Yunmo rested his hand on Lin Qiu's back, and perhaps because the pajamas were rather thin, he could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Lin Qiu's body.

Without the casualness of the daytime, Qin Yunmo felt unusually uncomfortable being alone in the same room with someone else.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Qin Yunmo picked up his phone to open the mobile game, but when he saw the message that he had been added to a new group, he was stunned.

"Is this another message from Zezhi or Ziyan?"

"No, Xiaoxi created a group and added us to it, saying that she wanted to discuss new game content with us."

"New content? New materials?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu immediately perked up and subconsciously leaned over to look at the screen.

But as soon as he got close, Qin Yunmo could feel Lin Qiu's breath hitting his face, and his heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, started to race again.

Furthermore, with her other hand still resting on Lin Qiu's back, the two seemed to be intimately embracing each other, making the atmosphere in the room even more ambiguous.

Qin Yunmo stiffened, just about to withdraw his hand...

"Click."

Suddenly, with a soft sound, the door was pushed open—

"Yunmo, tomorrow is Friday. Ruoyun told me to ask you to bring Lin Qiu with you... Oh, sorry, I came at the wrong time. You guys continue."

As Qin Zheng quickly opened and closed the door, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Standing outside, Qin Zheng wore an expression of ecstatic joy. His daughter had really made something of herself!

I never expected that someone who usually seems so stubborn and rigid would actually step up in a pinch! With a little more effort, your parents' worries can be completely cured!

Without even thinking, Qin Zheng pulled out his phone and rushed upstairs. He had to share this good news with Ruoyun and his in-laws!

As for Qin Yunmo inside the room, he awkwardly withdrew his hand and turned his head away to explain—

"I'm sorry, my dad..."

"Sigh, my dad's pretty much the same, he's used to it."

"That's good."

"Let's see what Xiaoxi has to say first."

"Um......"

However, after being interrupted by his father, Qin Yunmo's initial tension lessened considerably, and his attention returned to his phone.

Just as I was editing the message and about to send it, a group video invitation suddenly came through, and my finger was already clicking "accept".

"Ding-"

As Qi Xi and the others' faces appeared on the screen, they looked at the two people who appeared on the same screen, standing side by side, wearing only pajamas. The words they were about to say were stuck in their throats.

What's going on with you two? How did you end up together?!

Thankfully, Yuanzi didn't see it, otherwise she would have had a heart attack.

Zezhi stared intently at her phone screen, wishing she could tear the two of them apart.

You guys are getting increasingly outrageous by sneaking out like this!

"You try your luck during the day, and then somehow manage to get in at night?"

Yan Rou stared at the two of them with amusement. She knew that nearly half of the people here were from the news agency. If word got out, the whole school would be in an uproar.

Especially for Lin Qiu, the number of rivals in love is likely to skyrocket!

Compared to the others, Qi Xi was the first to calm down, cleared her throat, and spoke—

"Um, let's talk about the game first. I originally wanted to discuss some settings, but I suddenly had another inspiration. Now we just need to refine the identities of the other characters."

"Character identity? Is this new content introducing a new story character?"

"Yes, you guys came to the company for testing before. The company plans to use you as the model to create part of the storyline and add some new bosses and characters. We would like to ask for your opinions."

Upon hearing Qi Xi's explanation, everyone immediately showed expressions of "I knew it!" This little guy must be related to the chairman!

Knowing so much, and having the communications that should have been Yu Shu's responsibility taken over by her, she must have quite a lot of power.

She really is the chairman's daughter!

130 - The Hero's Soul Was Stolen by the Demon King

"The company wants to create several team bosses based on your playstyle, along with corresponding storylines. Although they won't be part of the main storyline, they will be a sizable side quest. What do you think?"

Qi Xi looked at everyone expectantly, praying for their approval.

Of course, this idea suddenly popped into her head before she went to sleep. A boss modeled after Lin Qiu, coupled with his disgusting fighting style, would definitely be a mudslide in the world of bosses!

It might create a sensational effect that no other boss has ever had!

"We have no objections, but are you sure that including unscrupulous merchants will cause the entire server to hate you?"

Ze Zhi couldn't help but mutter a low voice, glancing sideways at Lin Qiu, who was still leaning against Qin Yunmo.

It's been so long, and you two are still leaning on each other. Are you never going to stop? You only have one phone in your hand!

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a bit much. This is a steady playing style, and it works really well. Class monitor, you agree, right?"

As Lin Qiu spoke, her breath hit Qin Yunmo's face, causing the class monitor's ears to turn red again. She turned her head away somewhat awkwardly and responded softly.

Although this guy's fighting style is really disgusting, it is indeed very effective and there are aspects worth learning from!

"When the Boss is released, once your name is mentioned, I guarantee that more than half of the arena will line up to fight you."

Zezhi muttered to himself, recalling how this guy had caused a bloodbath when he first got involved in the arena.

Not long after the server opened, he had already ruined most of the arena players.

That level of hatred is no small matter. Although there are many players of the same type, none of them are as dark-hearted as this guy.

"Don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

Lin Qiu glared at the guy. If this guy hadn't sold information about him back then, he would have been in far less trouble!

"Well, putting all that aside for now, could you share some information about the team boss?"

Ze Zhi asked eagerly, knowing that as an information broker, if she could get some information about the Boss in advance, she would definitely be a hot seller among the strategy team!

Especially since it's based on Lin Qiu, if you don't ask yourself for some tips, you're bound to get disgusted!

"Sure, Zezhi, you're an information broker, right? We can also do some publicity through you so that players are mentally prepared."

"Mental preparation..."

Sun Yan and the others twitched their lips. Sure enough, unless you fight Lin Qiu yourself, you can't feel the torment he inflicts.

Has the situation gotten this serious?

"Um—could you tell us about the story of that group's boss?"

Liu Yuan asked in a low voice, as she was still very interested in the stories of those bosses.

Qi Xi pondered upon hearing this. To be honest, making them the group's boss was just a temporary idea, and she hadn't even figured out the details of their story yet.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Qiu, Qin Yunmo, and the others. After only a moment's thought, an idea suddenly struck Qi Xi, and she tentatively began to speak—

What do you think of the story of the Demon King and the Hero?

"Yunmo is a hero? Lin Qiu is a demon king? I have a feeling it will develop into something like... cough, I mean, if Lin Qiu is a demon king, it would fit his sinister character."

"I mean Lin Qiu should be the hero."

"..."

"Xiao Xi, give the Demon King a way out."

Everyone looked at Qi Xi with regret. If the Demon King knew that there was a hero with an even darker mind than him, he would rather die than go looking for him!

"Wasn't it supposed to be a group boss? Judging from this situation, does it mean the hero has surrendered to the Demon King?"

Liu Yuan hadn't forgotten what Qi Xi had said before: if they surrendered, there was no need to argue about who was the Demon King and who was the Hero, since they would all be on the same team anyway.

“That’s right. Actually, you guys are pretty much a standard adventure team. Liu Yuan is good at using shields and is responsible for attracting monsters, while Sun Yan is a martial artist who can fight in close combat.”

"Yan Rou is good at healing skills and is a healer. Lin Qiu is good at magic, traps, and drawing aggro. She can take on the roles of aggro drawer, mage, and assassin all by herself."

"What about Qin Yunmo?"

"Her combat power is ridiculously high, making her the most suitable person to be the boss-level character who can challenge the entire team by herself."

Qi Xi explained in a serious tone that, to be honest, she hadn't expected these guys' professions to be so suitable at first. She only found out when she asked in the lounge that the setup couldn't be better!

Hearing that everyone else had their respective identities revealed, while she was the only one left out, Ze Zhi was momentarily stunned—

"And what about me? What's my position?"

"You... are you the Demon King's lackey?"

"???"

Hey, what's with this dismissive attitude? Everyone else seems to have impressive status and positions, but why does it feel so different when it comes to you?

Before she could protest, Liu Yuan pressed her for an answer again—

"Why did the hero surrender?"

"this......"

Qi Xi stammered, her gaze sweeping over Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo, who were still huddled together, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"The hero was so captivated by the Demon King's beauty that he was completely bewitched! In addition, the Demon King's henchmen used tricks to sow discord among the hero's party, and after defeating them one by one, they were imprisoned."

"Then the Demon King took the opportunity to invite the hero for drinks and revelry. During their flirtation, he slipped a drug into the hero's drink. When the effects took hold, his henchmen brought the entire party over, and then..."

"Since the members of the hero's party all have special status in the kingdom, losing or harming even one of them would be detrimental to his return. In addition, if the Demon King is gone, the hero would lose his value."

"On one side was the uncertain journey home, and on the other was a life of pleasure with many wives and concubines. The brave man surrendered without hesitation."

"..."

Feeling the gazes suddenly become sharp, Lin Qiu's eyelids twitched.

Don't look at me! This story is just something Qi Xi made up. It's not like I actually did it!

As Ze Zhi listened silently to Qi Xi's narration, she became more or less certain: a boss with a toxic fighting style, a standard hero, and a demon king with extremely high combat power.

Add to that the harem-building buff that makes the hero doomed!

"Of course, this time the Boss will change your IDs and make some changes to your appearance, in order to try not to affect your aggro."

"Okay, I'll spread the information later. When will it be available online?"

"The progress at the studio is pretty fast, it should be finished and officially launched by Monday. Let's look forward to it!"

As Qi Xi greeted everyone and the conversation ended, all eyes turned back to Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo.
