Chapter 470 - A Man’s Ego

Li Yi went offline to have his meal. All of the players who were watching around them gradually went off on their own ways. What use would it be to stand around the area when the bodies on the ground were not even there anymore?

"Don't leave, everyone, don't leave…"

Sister Windcloud Nine became agitated and tried to persuade the people to stay while hugging her staff. Initially, some players did stay around, but soon they all left after that.

In a blink of an eye, ten hours have passed. Only Sister Windcloud Nine remained there in the plains.

However, Li Yi was still offline…

At that moment, Sister Windcloud Nine was very conflicted. She wanted to leave and stay at the same time, and she struggled with her choice for a long time. She was also terrified that Li Yi would suddenly come online, but at the same time, she was also worried that he might not come online. Ah, such contradictions.

"I'll… I'll wait for him for another hour, and I'll let him off the hook if he stays offline!"

Another hour has passed, and Sister Windcloud Nine made another declaration while she shivered.

"I'll wait for another half an hour, and I'll… I'll go offline if he doesn't come online…"

After half an hour, Sister Windcloud Nine leaned on her staff and dozed off while standing.

"I'll wait for another hour… I must…"

Li Yi did not go online for an entire day. Instead, he stayed in bed, drifting in and out of sleep. When he could no longer sleep, he just laid there and stared at the ceiling.

The reason behind his distracted self was a phone call from Lin Qian.

She was back in the country…

In the call, Lin Qian was talking about the rent with him. She negotiated for a rental rate so low that it was entirely unacceptable to any landlord, but Li Yi still agreed to it without any hesitation.

"You wouldn't need to pay for the utility fees for both water and electricity. On top of that, you can also use the computer, sofa, bed, and fridge for free."

"The rent I told you is RMB200 per month, not RMB2000!"

"Yes, RMB200 exactly, that's not a problem. Also, if you're in a hurry, you could move in today. Just take the key from the security, I'll give them a call."

"You… Are you sure?" Lin Qian became very confused when she realized how Li Yi readily accepted all of her requests.

"Of course I'm sure."

"Thank you!"

After the call, Li Yi could no longer hold himself back. He quickly packed up and wanted to rush to her immediately, but just when he stepped out of the door, another call from Lin Qian left him utterly dejected.

"I'm sorry but I've found another house. I won't be renting your place for now, thank you!"

Li Yi was stunned.
