Chapter 81

After a moment, Yang Ye smiled and said, "Chengzi, just say what you want to say."

Chengzi seemed to have no reservations at all, as if he would say it even if Yang Ye didn't let him. He said, "Xiao Yezi, it seems you've become wealthy recently? Before, you were almost unable to pay your tuition, but now you seem to have suddenly succeeded."

Yang Ye was taken aback. Chengzi was right; everything had been smooth sailing, both in and out of the game, with no obstacles at all. After thinking for a while, Yang Ye asked, "Why do you ask?"

"I, Xin B, and Xiao Di have been observing you for some time and learned about your achievements in the game. It seems your success has come in this period, which is a bit unusual. Of course, we don't rule out a change in fortune or divine favor, but..." Chengzi paused and looked at Li Yanxin and Wu Di. After getting a slight nod from both, he continued, "But we hope you don't do anything bad. Binzi is about to get out, and we... we don't want anyone else to go in."

Indeed, Yang Ye had quickly become wealthy after getting the miner's helmet, which was a bit strange, but...

"Don't worry, if I were to do anything bad, I'd definitely drag you guys along! None of you would be able to run away!" Yang Ye laughed and patted Chengzi's shoulder hard.

"That's good. By the way, you said you want to start a game studio?" Chengzi asked.

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"We'll see. Let's eat first..." Chengzi said, clearly having more to say but not saying it.

Yang Ye didn't push him. Some things would be said in due time. He called out, "Come, let's eat first! Let's drink to our heart's content!"

...

Yang Ye's alcohol tolerance was pitifully low. He was dragged back, while Chengzi and the others, who clearly had a much higher tolerance, perhaps from drinking more often, left after a polite farewell. They left behind a ruddy-faced Qin Yan and a thoroughly drunk Yang Ye, who was like a pile of mud.

"Ugh, you can't hold your liquor but you drank so much," Qin Yan muttered, wrinkling her nose as she sniffed Yang Ye, "Wow, the alcohol smell is so strong!"

After much effort, she took off Yang Ye's clothes, heated some water, and pushed him into the bathtub. The steam from the hot water made Yang Ye drowsy, but at least he was clean. During this time, Qin Yan didn't dare to leave, fearing he might fall asleep in the tub.

After the bath, Yang Ye came out wearing only a pair of briefs, squinting and seeing Qin Yan sitting not far away. His mind was a bit fuzzy, and he greeted her, then with wet hair, he tried to lie down on the bed.

"Your hair... it's still wet!" Qin Yan called out, running over to help him up and taking out a hairdryer to dry his hair.

Qin Yan faced Yang Ye, her left hand in his hair, shaking it while drying it, but her eyes were fixed on his familiar yet unfamiliar face.

To be honest, although they had known each other for two years, she had rarely observed him so closely. An ordinary face, but after a bath, it had a hint of charm. His eyebrows were long and thick, his eyes neither too big nor too small, with long lashes like a girl's. His nose was high and handsome, and his mouth...

"Ugh..." Qin Yan stared at Yang Ye's mouth, suddenly remembering something from before. She felt a bit tempted: a quick kiss wouldn't hurt, right?

Just one.

Just a quick one.

She turned off the noisy hairdryer, put it aside, and helped Yang Ye lie down. Then, like a little girl sneaking food from the fridge at night, she cautiously leaned in...

Wow, so close! So embarrassing...

Her hair fell down, covering Yang Ye's face, and he frowned, seemingly feeling itchy.

"Hehe..." Qin Yan's playful side emerged, and she used the tips of her hair to tickle Yang Ye's lips. Yang Ye, feeling the unusual sensation, spat impatiently, and a few droplets of saliva landed on Qin Yan's hair.

"Ugh..." Qin Yan was speechless and a bit angry. She thought for a moment, then opened her mouth and "Ugh!" bit down on Yang Ye's lips...

Actually, it wasn't a real bite, it was a kiss! Qin Yan was a bit excited, realizing how bold she could be.

The taste of a kiss... it was indeed strange.

Qin Yan thought to herself, playfully sucking, "Wow, pervert!" She couldn't help but mock herself, but she didn't want to leave.

In his sleep, Yang Ye felt as if he was biting something soft and fragrant, and it tasted good! So, he kissed back forcefully, and at the same time, he grabbed a similarly soft "pillow" and hugged it... The feeling of hugging something soft while sleeping was really nice!

"Being treated as a pillow!" Qin Yan thought angrily, trying to break free from Yang Ye's grip, but her strength was no match for his. Her struggle made Yang Ye turn her over, so she was now facing him, and his grip tightened even more...

She couldn't escape...

Qin Yan felt hopeless, thinking about how to explain this tomorrow...

In the morning, when Yang Ye woke up, he saw Qin Yan lying quietly in his arms, and he was startled. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but after looking around his room and seeing Qin Yan's clothes intact...

Damn, others can get things done when drunk, but why not me?

Yang Ye felt depressed but then became happy again, thinking, isn't this an opportunity?

Without hesitation, he tightened his embrace and pressed Qin Yan's soft body against him, then with a lecherous smile, he kissed the sleepy little lamb in his arms...

The result was that Qin Yan was kissed fiercely and then ran away as if for her life. Yang Ye didn't stop her; it wasn't the right time.

Under Qin's mother's strange gaze, Yang Ye finished lunch early and logged into the game at 12 o'clock.

As before, after logging in, all players immediately received a system notification—

[Dear players, thank you for your support of this game. This update lasted 18 hours and introduced the latest and highly anticipated new game mode—

Battlefield Mode! Battlefield Mode has four types: Capture Point, Massacre, King, and Siege. Siege will be opened in the future. Players can learn more about the other modes from the battlefield NPC, General Hu Ke, in the major cities.

At the same time, this update has opened teleportation arrays between major cities. Now, all open teleportation arrays can point to other major city arrays, with costs based on distance.

To enhance the role of support classes, reduce player dependence on high-level equipment, and increase team cooperation, we will significantly weaken the attack effects of level 40 and above equipment. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!

Finally, we wish all players of "TTOS" a pleasant gaming experience!]

This message was an explanation to the players. The new battlefield mode was naturally welcomed, but the weakening of equipment caused a lot of dissatisfaction among players.

I'm already weak, and you're weakening me more? No way, I'm not playing!

This was the most common complaint from players, even though no one had reached level 40. Players generally dislike such weakening, regardless of the game era.

So, a large number of players went to the forums to complain, but the official ignored them.

Yang Ye glanced at the announcement, got a general understanding, and then quickly leveled up to 35 by grinding the remaining experience. He then rushed to the warehouse.

The skills Spatial Rift and Eye of Sin could finally be learned.

When Yang Ye trembled and took out the two small books, the eyes of some knowledgeable players around him began to shine. Because of the scarcity of game skills, skill books were always in high demand. Yang Ye knew that Lu Ye had obtained a range-type skill book, but he didn't ask for specifics, as it was private.
