Chapter 18

Their investigation was temporarily fruitless. Qin Yuandai and You Xi only found a few scattered clues that were completely unconnected.

You Xi didn’t want to talk to Lin Yue or Zhou Yu, so he chose to have dinner with Qin Yuandai.

Qin Yuandai was in a bad mood all evening and was also depressed during dinner.

You Xi didn’t bother comforting him, just ordered food frantically. He found that there was a large balance left on the meal card, so he ordered a lot of dishes and stuffed them one by one into his space pocket.

Jiang Jiang finally didn’t need to eat dry food anymore. After happily receiving You Xi’s meals, Jiang Jiang politely gave You Xi a bag of things.

You Xi clicked to look and found that it was a bag of household trash.

You Xi: “……”

Fuck. Jiang Jiang, this dog son.

“Go find a job and hand in half of the money you earn!” You Xi spoke angrily into the space pocket. “Otherwise, don’t ask me to throw out trash for you!”

Jiang Jiang replied helplessly: “Don’t be angry, I’ve already found a job.”

“What is it?”

“I’ll go to a hair salon and work 8 hours a day. Please call me TOM-laoshi in the future.” Jiang Jiang said. “But I need a portal door to go to work. After the game is over, you need to buy me a door. Otherwise I can only stay in this flat place and not go anywhere. The price of the door isn’t that expensive, just 5 million.”

You Xi: “……”

I’m exhausting myself here to make money, just so you can lose my money.

Qin Yuandai ate without tasting anything and saw You Xi yell into his cuffs, pausing for a while.

“Are you talking to your ghost boyfriend from the last game?” Qin Yuandai asked.

You Xi was startled. “What boyfriend? This is a smelly little brother!”

As You Xi spoke, he temporarily put the trash under the dining table and started eating with his head down.

It was night time, with strong winds and heavy rain.

There were only three people left in dorm 302. When the light shut off, Qin Yuandai suddenly said: “Tonight the ghost NPC will definitely make a move. If we can’t find more clues from the other players, we might as well find a way from the ghost NPC.”

“Come out on patrol with me.” Qin Yuandai said to You Xi. “When you encounter a ghost NPC, you must either follow it or catch it. You must not let it go easily.”

Although You Xi just wanted to lie down on the bed and not go anywhere, seeing Qin Yuandai’s severity, he was too embarrassed to lie on the bed.

If Liu Yu wasn’t detained, would Qin Yuandai still run outside in the rain at night?

You Xi thinks he would.

Others may not have noticed and thought that Qin Yuandai was only pretending to be forceful, but You Xi spent an afternoon with him and discovered that he actually had worked hard to clear the game in a quiet manner.

Remembering the names and characteristics of all the players was only one thing. In order to avoid meaningless damage to the other players, he tried to teach the alien, kill Xu-laoshi, lock up the principal… Without noticing, he had raised the other players’ safety levels by more than one.

Qin Yuandai looked resolute, even-tempered, and pretended to be chivalrous, but really he was just unscrupulous about small matters. When it came to actual major events, he kept going every step of the way and never made unnecessary sacrifices. It was like playing chess. Qin Yuandai wasn’t kind, but he could focus on the overall situation and perform reliably.

If Liu Yu hadn’t been detained, You Xi thought that with his character, it would be impossible for him to sit back and wait to die. Qin Yuandai would inevitable take on the responsibility of exploring the instance.

It’s just that the person he was partnering with tonight had changed from Liu Yu to You Xi.

An old saying: “Hearing the Lord’s 1 sentence is more useful than ten years of reading.” You could learn a lot by getting along with real bosses.

When he went to the next game, You Xi would choose what is good, remember all the players’ information clearly from the start, take the initiative to attack, and actively complete the level.

Objectively speaking, although Qin Yuandai was talented and arrogant and bad-tempered, it was more meaningful to get along with him than with someone who could watch the wind turn the mill. 2

You Xi climbed out of the warm bed with difficulty.

Qin Yuandai gave him a few communication seal. Within 100 meters, if the communication seal was crushed, the other party could feel it.

“If something is wrong, send a signal to me immediately.” Qin Yuandai ordered.

It was the normal style of dividing the soldiers amongst two groups. You Xi stayed on the second floor, hovering at the entrance to the girls’ dorm, while Qin Yuandai was in charge of stalking around the third floor.

It was half past two in the morning and You Xi was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes. While he was dozing, he suddenly heard a creak from the door. You Xi roused his spirits and immediately used an invisibility seal on himself.

The girl who opened the door was wearing a long skirt. It was Zhou Yu’s partner in the game, Chen Xiaoyou.

What was Chen Xiaoyou doing, running out in the middle of the night? You Xi secretly followed behind her.

Chen Xiaoyou walked upstairs step by step, passing the third floor and reaching the fourth floor. She seemed to hear a noise from behind her, and she paused.

You Xi’s secret stalking was bad. Although he tried to be as careful as possible, it was inevitable that there would still be light footsteps. Even if the violent storm outside concealed a bit of movement, he couldn’t guarantee that Chen Xiaoyou wouldn’t notice.

Fortunately, she looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary. She relaxed her vigilance, shook her head, grit her teeth, and walked firmly to the bathroom on the fourth floor.

You Xi stopped. There was a heavy burden on him as an idol. With so many fans in his live broadcasting room staring at him, he couldn’t do such a thing as following a girl into the bathroom.

The time limit for You Xi’s invisibility seal had come, so he simply waited outside the bathroom.

Through the wall, You Xi heard Chen Xiaoyou’s surprised voice: “…It’s you!”

The other party’s voice was quiet, and it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. It seemed to remind Chen Xiaoyou to lower her voice.

Nothing could be heard now.

Weighing the pros and cons, You Xi used another invisibility seal and silently walked closer to the bathroom.

Eavesdropping at such a close range, You Xi could be sure that the person in the other stall was a man.

“…understand, ma?” The man asked.

Chen Xiaoyu’s voice trembled. “Understand, understand… Tomorrow, I will tell 003 that my crush is definitely him.”

“Very good, you’re a good child.” The man opened the door to the stall as he spoke, and You Xi’s eyes immediately saw a pair of bouncy breasts–

Although he had faintly assumed, You Xi was still scared when facing the alien teacher.

He looked even more disgusting than during the day, and the lonely man actually had eyes behind his head.

You Xi stifled his breath.

“Yi? There seems to be someone behind us.” The eyes on the back of his head narrowed, and the alien teacher said, “There’s a shadow on the ground.”

You Xi was shocked. It was stormy outside tonight, the moonlight was exceptionally dim, and the bathroom was unlit. How could he see a human shadow?

“Hehe, there isn’t a body, but I heard your heartbeat–” The alien teacher suddenly turned around, but he turned east of You Xi: “You can’t escape.”

You Xi: “……”

”

”

If you were looking in the right direction, I would have almost believed your nonsense!

The alien teacher directed and acted out an entire play, but unfortunately the entire bathroom was terribly quiet. Only Chen Xiaoyou watched his performance with a pale face. The alien teacher chuckled and floated out of the bathroom, pretending nothing had happened.

Just wanted to if he was embarrassed or not.

You Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then waited for a few minutes. After he felt they should have gone far enough, he walked towards the door.

But as soon as he exited the bathroom, the huge face of the alien teacher suddenly appeared in front of him!

You Xi was almost terrified out of his body!

By then, the invisibility period has expired, and You Xi couldn’t avoid it.

When it was almost too late, You Xi pulled out Jiang Jiang, who was wearing pajamas and catching up on his beauty sleep, out from the space pocket with his left hand.

When Jiang Jiang rubbed his eyes and saw the situation in front of him clearly, his hair instantly turned blood red and fluttered in the wind. He took the kitchen knife that You Xi held out, then stood shoulder to shoulder with You Xi, who was holding a chainsaw, and entered battle mode–

Start the battle hymn!
