Chapter 2

Wang Yu turned around and saw a very pretty girl calling out to him. She was wearing a long white down jacket and white short boots, with delicate features. At that moment, the girl was running towards him as fast as she could, her hair flowing like water in the wind.

Wang Yu followed the direction the girl was pointing and saw the guy who had bumped into him earlier, now looking back in panic.

Hearing this, Wang Yu stood up and dashed over in one swift move, blocking the small guy with his tall frame.

The small guy had triangular eyes and messy hair, and he was holding a lady's wallet. Seeing Wang Yu blocking his way, he quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"Don't want to die? Get out of the way, don't meddle in other people's business!"

Wang Yu stared intently at the small guy, showing no intention of moving.

Seeing the girl about to catch up, the small guy became frantic and raised his knife to stab.

Wang Yu frowned, and his right hand shot out, catching the small guy's wrist before he could react.

Then, Wang Yu pulled and yanked, throwing the small guy to the ground. He lifted his left foot, kicked the dagger out of the small guy's hand, and stepped on the back of his head.

The whole process took less than three seconds, and the small guy was no longer a threat.

At this moment, the girl ran up to Wang Yu, panting.

The girl picked up the wallet from the ground, glanced at it, and said gratefully to Wang Yu, "Big brother, thank you so much! What's your name?"

"Uh!" Wang Yu glanced at the girl, nodded slightly, and turned to the drink stand owner, saying, "Call the police!"

"Oh, oh, I understand..." The drink stand owner was already scared stiff. Hearing Wang Yu's words, he nodded hurriedly and fumbled for his phone to make the call.

The girl took out a wad of money from her wallet, counted a thick stack, and handed it to Wang Yu, saying, "Big brother, if it weren't for you, I would have lost all the money I was going to use to buy equipment this afternoon. I don't have much to offer, but please take this money..."

"..." Wang Yu looked at the girl again, said nothing, and seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned and quickly left.

The drink stand owner and the girl were left standing there, confused and disheveled.

After leaving the drink stand, Wang Yu ran home.

The girl's words reminded Wang Yu that it was afternoon... time to bring in the cotton quilts.

Running home, it was only a little past three. Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, glad he hadn't wasted any time.

He brought the quilts back into the bedroom and then returned to the balcony to practice his punches.

The rhythmic "thud, thud, thud" echoed through the empty house.

Around four o'clock, the door to the living room rang.

A tenant was coming to see the house!

Wang Yu stopped his practice, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat, and went to the living room.

The first to enter was Mu Zixian.

"Please come in, please come in. Our house is quite large, and it's just my husband and I, so we want to rent out the other two rooms..." Mu Zixian was holding a large bag of meat and vegetables, placing the items on the table while greeting the people behind her.

A voice that Wang Yu recognized very well came from behind Mu Zixian: "What? There's a man? We're all girls, isn't that inconvenient?"

Then, a girl wearing a white down jacket walked in.

"There's nothing inconvenient. My husband is very homebound and rarely goes out..." At this moment, Mu Zixian saw Wang Yu, smiled, and pointed to him, introducing, "Here, my husband Wang Yu, don't worry, he's a good person!"

"Uh... hello!" Wang Yu greeted the girl stiffly.

At that moment, Wang Yu was only wearing a black tank top, his upper body almost bare, with broad shoulders and well-defined muscles. His square face, sword-like eyebrows, and piercing eyes made him look very manly.

The girl followed the direction Mu Zixian pointed and saw Wang Yu, immediately freezing—wasn't this the man she had met at the job market earlier? What a coincidence, she didn't expect to be renting a house from him. This man is so manly.

Seeing the girl staring at him, Wang Yu suddenly remembered his attire, blushed, and quickly walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

The girl regained her composure, smiled awkwardly, and said to Mu Zixian, "This house is in a good location, I'll rent it!"

As she spoke, she took out a thick wad of money from her bag, "This is a year's rent!"

"A year..." Mu Zixian took the money, somewhat surprised. They had agreed to rent for half a year, but now it was for a whole year. She had just said it would be inconvenient with a man around.

"Uh, if the studio does well, we might renew the lease next year! The rent is negotiable!" the girl nodded.

Mu Zixian tried to hide her joy, "Alright, let's sign the contract!"

After signing the contract, the girl left.

After the girl left, Wang Yu came out of the bedroom, helping Mu Zixian put the meat and vegetables in the fridge, and asked, "Wife, what does this girl do?"

Mu Zixian said, "She seems to run a studio!"

"Studio? What's that?" Wang Yu asked curiously. He had been raised as a precious gem by his family, rarely leaving the house, and had never heard of a studio.

"It's about making money by playing games!" Mu Zixian said without hesitation, as she worked as a game customer service representative and was familiar with studios.

"Oh!" Wang Yu seemed to understand, but the idea of making money by playing games seemed like a fairy tale to him.

After tidying up the bedroom, Mu Zixian said to Wang Yu, "I'm going to help at the restaurant. When the girl moves in later, help her with the moving, don't just stand there!"

"Uh, I know!" Wang Yu was sweating, thinking, "I'm not a fool, I understand basic courtesy."

In the evening, the girl in the white down jacket returned, followed by three other girls.

These three girls were also very attractive, not inferior to the girl in the white down jacket. The four of them were chatting and laughing, each carrying a small box.

Seeing Wang Yu, the three girls greeted him without hesitation, "Hello, landlord..."

"Uh, hello..." Wang Yu blushed again, "Do you need any help?"

The girl in the white down jacket said, "We don't have much luggage, no need to trouble you, Brother Yu!"

"Uh," Wang Yu responded and returned to the bedroom.

Seeing Wang Yu's awkward and silly appearance, the three girls laughed, "Boss, is this the manly guy you talked about? Ha ha!"

"Ha ha, he looks okay, but why is he so silly?"

"Right, right... didn't you see him blushing just now... ha ha"

"Stop fooling around, let's get settled, we have work tomorrow!"

After a while, the girls had settled their luggage, and there was a knock on Wang Yu's bedroom door.

Wang Yu opened the door, and it was the girl in the white down jacket.

"Is there something you need?" Wang Yu asked curiously.

The girl in the white down jacket said, "Brother Yu, we really have a connection. I haven't thanked you for what happened this afternoon. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

Wang Yu smiled, "No need, it was a small matter, and I don't like going out much!"

Although he said that, his stomach betrayed him. It was already evening, and Mu Zixian was helping at the restaurant, so she wouldn't be back until late. Wang Yu couldn't cook and was already very hungry.

The girl in the white down jacket smiled, "Brother Yu, since we're living together, we're like family. You don't need to be so formal. Your wife isn't home, you must be hungry. Let's order some takeout, it's very convenient!"

"Um..." Wang Yu was still hesitant.

The girl in the white down jacket was a bit unhappy, "Brother Yu, are you looking down on us?"

Wang Yu waved his hands frantically, "No, absolutely not..."

"Then why are you hesitating to have dinner with us?"

"Alright, but I don't drink..." Wang Yu had no choice but to agree.

After some introductions, Wang Yu learned that the girl in the white down jacket was named Li Xue, and the other three girls were her employees.

The one with big eyes was called Xiao Yi, the one with a pointed chin was called Meng Meng, and the outgoing one was called Ma Li.

They were a gold farming studio, currently planning to focus on a game called "Rebirth."

Wang Yu had heard of "Rebirth," which was the most popular holographic simulation game from Mu Zixian's company. It had only been open for three days but was always full, and Mu Zixian often mentioned it.

"Can you make money by playing games?" Wang Yu asked, puzzled.

Before Li Xue could answer, Ma Li laughed, "Of course! Professional gamers have been around for years! You haven't even heard of professional gamers?"

"..." Wang Yu answered honestly, "No."

"Oh my God! You're such a bumpkin, Brother Yu, what do you do for a living?" Ma Li exclaimed, covering her forehead, and then asked.

The other three girls also looked curious.

"I, I don't have a job..." Wang Yu was embarrassed. Although he didn't socialize much, he knew that being supported by his wife wasn't honorable.

Ma Li laughed, "Oh, a pretty boy! Ha ha! Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you. Actually, I was thinking of finding someone to support me too!"

"..." Wang Yu looked awkward.

Seeing Wang Yu's expression, Li Xue's face turned serious, and she scolded, "Lily, watch your words!"

"Uh..." Ma Li quickly lowered her head.

Li Xue said, "Brother Yu, she was joking. The economy is tough, and unemployment is common. If you can't find a job, you can work with us!"

As the boss, Li Xue had a keen eye. She could tell that Wang Yu wasn't the type Ma Li described. She had met Wang Yu at the job market earlier, and he was probably looking for a job.

"Work with you? Can I do it?" Wang Yu was a bit dazed. He had never played games, let alone used a computer much.

Li Xue smiled, "Of course! This game is very simple. We girls can play it, so why can't you? 'Rebirth' is a full-simulation game, similar to our daily life, and it has a lot of business opportunities. It's easy to make money in the next few years!"

"Really?" Wang Yu was a bit excited. As a man, he had been jobless for two months, and his pride had been worn down. As long as it didn't violate morals, he was willing to do anything to make money. He didn't want to rely on his wife for the rest of his life.

"Of course, our studio isn't very famous in the industry, but earning five to six thousand a month is quite easy!" Li Xue said.

Wang Yu agreed, "Alright! I'll give it a try, but I don't have the equipment..."

Li Xue smiled, "No problem, the studio will provide the equipment!"
