White Dew as Frost
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Nine Heavens Music Network must really be short of money. Lu Xiaobei's first concert took only five days from planning and online ticket sales to its execution.
At Feiyang Esports Chain Hotel, I watched the concert live online with Chen Xiaoman, Zhao Yihang, Xiao Hui, and others.
Surprisingly, despite it being his first concert, Lu Xiaobei showed no stage fright whatsoever. His live performance was of exceptionally high quality, comparable to that of a recording. The seats at the Hong Kong Coliseum were completely sold out, and the venue was packed with people!
"Holy crap..."
Zhao Yihang exclaimed, "Boss's stage presence is just too strong. She stands there like a real female celebrity. If it were me, my legs would be shaking and I'd be so nervous I could hardly breathe."
I glanced at him and said, "Milo said long ago that Xiao Bei was born for this, so you should trust Milo's judgment. As for Xiao Bei, that's just her personality—youthful Zhang Yang, never timid, always saying what she thinks and doing what she wants. So naturally, she won't be stage-frightened."
"Ding Han is right."
Chen Xiaoman laughed and said, "Xiao Bei was indeed born for this. Her concert must be the most successful female star concert in our country to date, right? I see all the seats are full."
"I heard the tickets sold out in just one day," Xiao Hui said.
I chuckled and said, "Xiao Bei's popularity is undeniable, it's a pity... although her concert tickets sold out, she didn't receive a single penny."
"Ding Han..."
Chen Xiaoman turned to look at me. "How much do you estimate this concert will bring in?"
"As the organizer, Nine Heavens Music can earn around 30-40 million RMB. That's what Milo told me a couple of days ago. Xiao Bei's popularity is terrifying; all the tickets sold out in the blink of an eye."
"What a pity..."
Chen Xiaoman said, "Xiao Bei can earn back that 400 million by holding a dozen or so concerts, and the royalties from the first album will all be given to Nine Heavens Music..."
"You can't say that. After all, nobody knew that Xiao Bei's concert tickets would sell so well, and that her fan base would be so powerful. So Nine Heavens Music was also taking a gamble. Moreover, they were willing to provide 400 million in cash to help Xiao Bei's family out of their immediate crisis. I think Nine Heavens Music should earn this money. In addition, Xiao Bei should Xie Xie them."
Chen Xiaoman nodded. "What you said makes sense."
At 10:30, the concert ended, and the live stream also ended.
I hailed a taxi and went home.
"Beep beep~~~"
The phone suddenly rang; it was Lu Xiaobei calling.
On the other end of the phone, she was panting and laughed, "Did you watch my concert live?"
"I watched it, it's great."
Hehe~~~
She smiled and said, "Ding Han, I should thank you. At least my family's villa was saved, and Dad can recuperate at home. Everything is much more convenient now."
"Ah?"
I was completely confused. What did she mean by that? What does saving the villa have to do with me?
Could it be that Nine Heavens Music paid an extra sum of money to redeem the house from the court?
That's not right either, that has nothing to do with me.
"I'm not talking to you anymore."
She chuckled and said, "My manager called me, I have to go. I'll give you free tickets when I have my concert in Huaining."
"Okay..."
She hung up the phone quickly.
I was too lazy to argue, so I took out my phone and played a couple of rounds of Hero Kill to pass the time.
Late at night, as I returned to my neighborhood, a car behind me suddenly flashed its high beams.
Turning around, I saw Lin Qingying's Bentley.
She had just gotten off work too, what a coincidence.
"Park here, right against the wall, don't block the aisle!"
So, I acted like a gatekeeper, directing Lin Qingying to park the car.
"Lean back, shoot to the right, lean back again... Okay, okay, stop!"
The car door opened, and a long, slender leg stretched out. Lin Qingying chuckled, "Was that fun?"
"Wait a minute!"
I stepped forward, blocking her in the car, and said solemnly, "How can Manager Lin get out of the car herself?"
"Ah?"
She was completely confused.
I bent down, supported her legs from below with my Left Hand, and hugged her back with my right hand, then carried her out of the car in a princess carry.
"Ding Han..."
Although the night was dark and her expression was not clearly visible, Lin Qingying's embarrassment was obvious.
There are people over there...
"There's no one here."
I spun her around in my arms, and then I saw Grandpa Li standing a few meters away under a tree, looking at us with a big smile on his face.
"Young people these days are so energetic, unlike us back in the day when we could only go to the cornfields..."
"Cough cough!"
I gently put Lin Qingying down. She quickly straightened her skirt and said, feigning composure, "Grandpa Li, it's almost eleven o'clock. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Oh, I just got back from playing mahjong at Old Zhao's place. You guys continue, don't worry about me." Grandpa Li took out his keys and opened the door.
Lin Qingying's face turned even redder. "We... don't..."
"Don't be embarrassed, Comrade Lin. I was young once too," said Grandpa Li.
Lin Qingying felt that the more she explained, the worse it got. Her face turned bright red, and she hurriedly locked the car and dragged me upstairs.
After entering the house, I casually closed the door.
"Grandpa Li's appearance was really untimely. I was hoping to sneak a kiss when no one was around."
Why did you have to do it secretly?
Lin Qingying down her bag, turned around and hugged me. Her beautiful eyes looked at me, and she said softly, "We're boyfriend and girlfriend, no need to hide it..."
Her eyes were so beautiful that they made my heart flutter.
Then I kissed him, this time for ten seconds, so much so that Lin Qingying and I were both breathing heavily afterward.
"I'm going to take a shower first." She ran off as if fleeing.
"Go ahead and wash, I'm not washing, I don't like taking baths!"
"You..."
She turned to look at me, her face filled with shock. "How could you say that with such confidence...?"
"Hey-hey!"
"Ding Han, the Yue Ning Mall will be launched in two days. We will be holding a grand launch event at the group headquarters, and I would like to formally invite you to attend."
"Is it because I went back to be there for you, to support you?"
"Um!"
"OK!"
She went to take a shower, and I didn't eavesdrop on the beautiful woman showering in the living room. Firstly, it would be a bit lewd, and secondly, listening too much would easily disturb my mind.
At that moment, I was actually thinking the same thing.
Xiaoying is so obedient. If I suggested living together in a real sense, sharing a room, would she agree?
Probably.
I'm confident there's at least an 80% chance she'll agree.
But what if the probability of it happening is only 20%?
Forget it, I'm such a coward, I don't dare bring it up at all!
Three days later, the Yue Ning Mall press conference was held.
When I woke up in the early morning, Lin Qingying had already washed up and changed into a very beautiful and elegant work outfit. She looks beautiful in both dresses and work clothes, and she has a very authoritative air about her.
"Up so early?" I pushed open the door and looked at her in the full-length mirror.
"I'm a little nervous, so I can't sleep."
She turned around, twirled around, and said, "Ding Han, does this outfit suit me? Should I change into something else?"
"This set is perfect, no need to change!"
I declared firmly, "My darling is the most beautiful domineering CEO!"
"..."
Lin Qingying felt a little embarrassed for a moment. "Am I really your darling?"
"Of course, it's one of a kind!"
"Good!"
She smiled and said, "Then go wash up quickly, we'll head over early."
So, after washing up and having breakfast, I drove Lin Qingying to Yuening.
The press conference was at nine o'clock in the morning, so I sat in Lin Qingying's office for a while first.
"Snap!"
The door opened, and Lin Yue and Jiang Xiaoyun, a married couple, entered.
"Ding Han is here too!"
Lin Yue gave him a smile, it seemed that he and Lin Qingying had reconciled.
I nodded in greeting and then continued playing on my phone.
Lin Yue then began discussing the details of the press conference with Lin Qingying, while Shen Man handed the presentation slides to Lin Qingying, gave her a few instructions, and then went out to prepare in advance.
Around 9:10, the group went downstairs together.
The venue was packed with people, and I spotted a familiar figure: Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen, as a major shareholder, sat four seats away from us, casting a complex gaze.
"Xiao Chen!"
I waved to him familiarly.
Immediately, Xiao Chen's expression became unnatural. He probably didn't expect me to be so enthusiastic. Helpless, he also raised his hand and shook it.
"Ding Han!"
From the seat behind me, Chen Dongqing put his arm around my shoulder and laughed, "Accompanying our Manager Lin to the press conference?"
"Certainly!"
I raised an eyebrow. "She'll get a little nervous if I'm not there to oversee things."
Beside me, Lin Qingying lightly punched me, then turned around to greet Chen Dongqing, Huang Minyu, and the others.
At this moment, Xie Zheng and Zhong Baiyan, two big shots, arrived.
Xie Zheng was positioned to my left, which meant I was standing between the two major controllers of Yue Ning. This seating arrangement was clearly intentional on Lin Qingying's part, probably because she didn't want to have too much contact with Xie Zheng.
"Ding Han!"
The two bigwigs greeted each other with smiles.
I quickly stood up and shook hands with the two people in turn.
"I heard that you designed the core algorithm model for our Yue Ning Mall?" Xie Zheng asked.
"Um."
I nodded. "My major is applied mathematics, and I've also studied software programming before, so I'm quite familiar with the relevant content. That's why I volunteered to write a very crude algorithm for Xiaoying. I never expected it would actually come in handy. What a stroke of luck!"
"Wow, the younger generation is truly formidable!"
Zhong Baiyan said, "Ding Han, don't be modest. Fang Tuo from the R&D department said it himself. He said your computer skills far surpass any senior engineer in the Yuening Technical Team. You're truly a hidden talent!"
"Mr. Zhong, you flatter me! Not at all, it was all just luck!"
Xie Zheng said, "Hahaha, there are fewer and fewer young people like you these days. Yuening is really lacking rising stars like you..."
"Manager Xie, you flatter me. I know my own limitations. Besides, even if I am a rising star, I am still an inexperienced one. What Yuening needs most is a seasoned and insightful senior like Manager Xie!"
"Oh dear, not at all..."
Lin Qingying looked on with a helpless expression.
After I sat down, she whispered in my ear, "I should have brought you back to manage our Yue Ning Group's public relations department. I've found you're perfect for it..."
"Cough cough, don't you understand what it means to play along and be hypocritical? I'm about to throw up myself!"
She couldn't help but chuckle.
A while later.
Suddenly, a corner of the venue became lively as a group of people escorted someone in, with many even taking out their phones to take pictures.
"Who is it, making such a big scene?"
I frowned and looked over, and then I saw Lu Xiaobei being fawned over by her agent, assistant, and a group of Yuening staff.
She still had pink hair, dressed very fashionably, and exuded the aura of a top female star.
Wait, why is she here?
I was dumbfounded.
Just then, the large screen on stage began playing a promotional video for Yue Ning Mall. The second scene featured the spokesperson, and who else could it be but Lu Xiaobei?!
"Holy crap..."
I was dumbfounded. Yuening's next spokesperson was actually Lu Xiaobei?!
Am I the only one kept in the dark?
Am I the only one being misled?
Lin Qingying and Lu Xiaobei know about this, but neither of them told me!
Especially Lin Qingying, my little girlfriend has gone astray!
They both seemed quite satisfied with my performance.
Just then, the host from Yue Ning Group came on stage and announced the official start of today's press conference, inviting Lin Qingying stage.
"I'll go upstairs for a bit."
After whispering something in my ear, Lin Qingying walked gracefully onto the stage in her high heels and began her presentation on the theme of Yue Ning Mall.
As for Lu Xiaobei, he sat lazily in the seat one seat away from me, glancing at me sideways.
Hehe~~~
Heh heh my foot! You dare to laugh like that?
So, while Lin Qingying introducing the various functions of the Yue Ning Mall, I closed my eyes and directly used the game voice chat to call out to Milo.
What are you doing?
Milo said, "I'm still half asleep. What's up so early?"
"Did you go drinking again last night?"
"Ahem, yeah, I went to the ENX bar near the Workers' Stadium with some friends to soak up the atmosphere, and I accidentally drank too much."
"Damn it, you need to wake up! Don't let a bitch ruin you, Luo'er!"
I said with a heavy heart, "When I was reading urban novels before, many promising young people like you chose to give up because of setbacks in their relationships, spending their days drinking in bars and becoming completely disrespectful. In the end, they got shot and died!"
"Fuck you!"
Milo said speechlessly, "Can't you think of me in a positive light? How could I do such a thing? Besides, am I that desperate for women? If I really wanted women, I could just pick any of my female fans, how could I possibly lack them?"
"Don't say such things. The last woman chosen for the imperial concubine selection ended up in jail..."
"Damn it..."
Milo got impatient. "Tell me quickly, what do you want by calling me so early in the morning?"
"Damn it, you almost made me forget the important matter!"
I said in a deep voice, "Did you know that Yue Ning Group has signed Xiao Bei as its new brand ambassador?"
"I know, the signing price was 30 million. It was precisely because of this 30 million that Xiao Bei was able to redeem her family's villa from the foreclosure auction. Besides, wasn't it you who facilitated Yu Ning signing Xiao Bei as her spokesperson?"
"I didn't fucking do it!"
I was completely dumbfounded. "I'm right here at the Yue Ning Mall launch event, and I just found out about Yue Ning Mall that Xiao Bei is endorsing?!"
Holy crap, no way?
Milo was also completely bewildered. "Lin Qingying didn't mention this to you?"
"No!"
"Holy crap... Holy crap... Holy crap..."
Milo seemed to be repeating himself. "If that's the case, Lin Qingying's actions are really... I have to admire her! Do you know that because of Hanhai Transportation and its involvement in a serious smuggling case, Xiao Bei's identity has always been very sensitive. Although she is now one of the most popular actresses in China, she can't get a single endorsement."
"No way..." I frowned.
What do you think?
Milo said, "The matter of Lu Changzai is quite sensitive. Before Gu Jinsheng was executed, everything was still unsettled, and all brands were watching and didn't dare to endorse Xiao Bei. This is why Xiao Bei ended up penniless like us; she had no source of income. Under these circumstances... Yue Ning Group actually gave Xiao Bei the endorsement directly, and offered her 30 million yuan. Do you know what that price means?"
"What does that mean?"
"Even I couldn't get that price..."
"Of course, Xiao Bei is young, beautiful, and has a great singing voice. And you? You're called Xialuo, aren't you?"
"Damn, that's incredibly rude of you!"
Milo was speechless and said, "But to be honest, Ding Han, if this wasn't your doing, then Lin Qingying really did a great job. I tried my best to get you and Xiao Bei together before, thinking that you and Xiao Bei were the most suitable for each other. Now I'm starting to have some doubts. Maybe you have better judgment and choosing Lin Qingying is the right thing to do."
"Of course, need I say more about your taste? After all, you've set your sights on someone like Lin Jianwei."
"Damn it, can't you stop rubbing salt in the wound? You beast!"
Milo muttered, "I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I didn't go to sleep until five this morning, so I need to catch up on my sleep. Go and make sure Xiao Bei and Lin Qingying are there; we don't want any bloodshed to happen."
"That's impossible. My skills in handling relationships are masterful. You'd better learn from me on your knees."
"I fucking threw up, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
It's 10:00 AM.
I downloaded Yue Ning Mall from the app store and checked the download numbers. It's probably because Yuening spent a lot of money on massive traffic acquisition that it's currently ranked number one on the download chart, surpassing the previous number one game, Angry Birds.
As for the total number of orders within the mall, outsiders cannot see this; they have to wait for the statistics from Yue Ning Mall's internal system.
"Ding Han."
Lu Xiaobei, sitting about a meter away from me, sent me WeChat message: "This is my first endorsement, so I cherish this opportunity very much. I really have to Xie Xie you for this."
"Don't thank me. Let me tell you a harsh truth: I didn't know about this. This endorsement deal with Yue Ning Group was given to you by Xiaoying."
"!!!"
Lu Xiaobei turned to look at me, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Then, her gaze became complicated, and her feelings were quite complex as well.
If Lin Qingying herself facilitated this endorsement contract, then Lu Xiaobei would owe Lin Qingying a favor, and in principle, Lu Xiaobei doesn't want to owe Lin Qingying a favor.
But by then, the die was cast, and she was powerless to change it.
At this moment, the host went on stage and invited the spokesperson Lu Xiaobei up.
"Go quickly, calm down!" I said.
"Hmph, I know!"
Lu Xiaobei stage and appeared on screen with Lin Qingying.
After a series of routine procedures, the two stepped down from the stage, and Xie Zheng, as the chairman, took the stage to speak.
The audience.
Lin Qingying said, "Ding Han, let's skip the company's luncheon and eat out. It'll be more comfortable that way. It's on me, you and Xiao Bei can both come."
"I'm fine."
I craned my neck to look at Lu Xiaobei: "And you?"
"I... I'm fine too."
Lu Xiaobei was a little mischievous. Her little brain was probably still buzzing. She hadn't expected that her 30 million yuan endorsement deal was actually given to her privately by Lin Qingying.
At noon, Lin Qingying booked a private restaurant near the square. There were three of us, plus Shen Man and Xiao Ya.
Lu Xiaobei seemed like a completely different person. She was determined to face the storms of life with strength, so she handled everything with ease and humor, and her aura was much stronger than Lin Jianwei's back then.
When Lin Jianwei had dinner with Lin Qingying, his attitude was so respectful that it was almost obsequious.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of ordinary people, celebrities are the ceiling, something unattainable. But in the face of real big capital, celebrities are nothing. And Lin Qingying happens to be such big capital. Yue Ning Group is too powerful. If we were to really count, Lin Qingying's net worth would be in the top ten in the country without any problem.
After dinner, Lu Xiaobei took Xiao Ya and left, saying they had to catch their afternoon flight back to Beihai, so I didn't try to stop them.
Inside the car.
"Ding Han..."
Lin Qingying asked cautiously, "I didn't tell you about Yue Ning Group signing Xiao Bei as their brand ambassador... You won't be angry, will you?"
"Hey!"
I let out a long sigh, "We didn't do anything wrong, and Xiao Bei really needs this contract, but... I just don't understand why you kept it from me."
"I was afraid you'd be upset..." she said softly, as if she had done something wrong.
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel like I've been made a fool of."
I said solemnly, "Xiaoying, Xiao Bei really needs this endorsement. Because of this endorsement fee, she redeemed her house in BH City. However... is the reason for signing Xiao Bei because of me? In my memory, when it comes to matters involving Yue Ning Group, you have always been selfless and have never had any personal motives."
"It really wasn't for you."
Lin Qingying's aura returned. "First of all, Xiao Bei's popularity in China is phenomenal, even surpassing Milo's previous level. Her national recognition is extremely high, making her a perfect fit for endorsing our Yue Ning Mall from a promotional perspective. Secondly, other brands are currently hesitant to endorse Xiao Bei, but I know Xiao Bei's safe, so securing her endorsement first isn't too much at 30 million. This will inevitably put competitors like Luo Mei behind in promotion, and once they start using a similar model, Yuening will have ample time to capture most of the domestic market within six months to a year."
"Well said!"
I glanced at her. "But you're exuding too much of Manager Lin's aura. Control yourself, please switch to Ding Han's girlfriend mode!"
"Good!"
She smiled gently, leaned against the center console like a little bird, and took my hand.
Just then, a bell rang in my ears, and the long Yue Ning Mall task was finally completed!
[Congratulations! You have completed the daily Main Quest "Yue Ning Group's Core Algorithm" (SS-rank)! Rewards: 45 million character experience, 2 Charm Value, and an additional reward: "Doomsday Breastplate" (Quality: Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold)!]
Holy crap!
I was stunned. A new tier of equipment has been released!
Golden Legend!!
Even the quality descriptions for S8-rank equipment have been changed to!
Great! The first Gold Equipment in the entire server! It didn't disappoint after months of painstaking coding. It was worth it!
The next second, his gaze fell upon the Dimensional Storage Space, and sure enough, a gleaming golden suit of armor lay beside the Off-road Motorcycle, its entire surface engraved with ancient and majestic patterns, looking extremely formidable.
[Doomsday Breastplate] (Quality: Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold)

That breastplate is pretty awesome!
With Divine Power and Divine Armor, the third-tier attributes are maxed out. In addition, there is a Burst Skill called Well of Life that restores 10% of health per second!
What a disaster! If this thing had come sooner, I reckon I could have saved a lot of Resurrection Sacred Canon during the Shadow City campaign.
Speaking of the Resurrection Sacred Canon, I took several copies from my teammates before, and it doesn't seem right to leave them unsaid...
Let's talk about it later. We're all family, no need to be so calculating.
I couldn't wait and put them on right away.
With a "click," a bell rang in my ear. As expected, it was indeed the first S8 Gold Equipment in the entire server!
[Congratulations to player [*Shadow] for successfully obtaining the first Gold Equipment achievement in the entire server, and receiving additional rewards: Achievement +6, Charm Value +2!]
After putting on the Doomsday Breastplate, my armor level skyrocketed to over 9400, making it practically a solid steel plate!
With a 144% damage increase and a 28% Damage Reduction, the current attribute panel is already quite robust, maintaining its leading position in terms of equipment among all players on the server.
In the afternoon, I took Lin Qingying back to the company, and then went to the repair department to scavenge some Skill Experience with Fatty.
In the evening, Lin Qingying unsurprisingly worked overtime because of the launch of Yue Ning Mall, while I was downstairs playing King of Fighters 97 with Li Xiang and enjoying it immensely.
"Drop!"
Suddenly, I requested to add a female player named "Jian Jia" as a friend.
Her profile picture is quite pretty; she's wearing a white dress and standing by the sea, exuding a pure and innocent charm.
Level 60, sword-type super weapon, White Dew as Frost Guild, just for this level, she deserves a boost.
Let me clarify first, it's definitely not because she's good-looking.
The moment I accepted your friend request, you sent me a message: "Hi, Ding Han! I'm Jian Jia from the White Dew as Frost Guild in Donghai City. It's nice to meet you."
Goodness, such a standard opening line?
I hesitated for a moment before replying, "Jian Jia, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's nothing much, just saying hello. Also, my best friend and I are planning to go to Huaining City, but we don't know any players there, so we thought of you. Would you do us the honor of being our guide?"
She sent a laughing emoji, "Of course, the main reason is also to socialize with players in Huaining City. After all, we're not far apart, and we should help each other out. It just so happens that you have the highest popularity and the strongest strength in Huaining City, so I thought of you."
I quickly searched for information.
Donghai City is a large city, on par with BH City, with a large number of players, guilds, and alliances. Jian Jia's White Dew as Frost Guild ranks second in Donghai City, which is quite strong. Its overall guild strength is probably no weaker than Crimson Firmament Alliance.
This friendship deserves to be strengthened!
"Okay..."
I replied, "I have a good buddy here named Chasing Light. I'll bring him along too. The two of us can be your guides, is that alright?"
"Sure!"
Jian Jia said, "My sisters and I took the high-speed train and arrived in Huaining City around 10:30 a. m."
"Okay, I'll ask my girlfriend for a ride and we'll pick you up!"
"Haha, okay, it's a deal!"
So, I informed the fat man first.
Upon hearing that the other party was a beautiful woman, this scoundrel nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Afterwards, he sent Lin Qingying a message: "Qingying, two female players are coming from Donghai City tomorrow. They are the leaders of the second-ranked guild in Donghai City. Fatty and I are going to greet them, so we'd like to borrow your car."
"Good."
Lin Qingying replied, "Drive me to work tomorrow morning, then the car is yours."
About a minute later, she sent another message: "Ding Han, how about I buy you a car...?"
Here we go again!
I coughed and said, "No, no, my Intestinal Fortification, I really don't need to live off a woman right now. Xiaoying, can you restrain yourself and let me try to work hard first? If it really doesn't work out, then I'll go pick out a car, and you can pay for it, okay?"
"Haha, okay!"
The next day.
I dropped Lin Qingying off at work early in the morning, and then picked up Fatty at the company and headed straight to the high-speed rail station.
Inside the high-speed rail station.
Meeting someone I met online was incredibly nerve-wracking.
Is it really that beautiful?
The fat man said, "Don't lie to me, it might turn out to be a 150cm tall and 150kg unlucky girl..."
"You know what, some girls are just slightly chubby, and even if they weigh 150 pounds, they still look very cute."
"Give me a break, I said 150 kilograms."
"Fuck you, you're talking about a baby hippo, right?"
"Gagaga gagaga~~~"
As the two were chatting and laughing, a group of tourists walked out of the high-speed rail station. Among them were two girls wearing Xiao Bai. Both of them were very pretty and had no luggage at all, not even a decorative bag. They were just holding a mobile phone in their hands.
This kind of woman is most likely a gamer.
I immediately snapped my fingers, "The Jian Jia green!"
The fat man added, "White Dew as Frost!"
Immediately, two girls walked over with smiles, looking even a little embarrassed.
"Ding Han!"
Jian Jia was as beautiful as her profile picture. She stepped forward, shook hands, and chuckled in a low voice, "I've seen you before, on the global live stream on the Dark Web... Ah, that was exhilarating, the cuts were so satisfying!"
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"
I grabbed the fat guy and pulled him over, saying, "This is my brother, Chasing Light, real name Yang Wei, the Firepower Specialist."
"I've long admired your name."
Jian Jia introduced her best friend, "My good sister, Qixia, the Vice Alliance Leader of the White Dew as Frost Guild, Psionicist."
"Hello, both of you big shots!"
Qixia raised her hand, and her fingers moved nimbly back and forth.
That way of greeting is kind of cute!
The fat man stared intently at Qixia. Oh no, this was the look of someone who had been in love at first sight for a lifetime.
To put it another way, that lecherous man took a liking to the young girl's looks at first glance.
"Cough cough..."
I said, "Jian Jia, Qixia, let's get on the bus and talk more. It's getting late, so let's skip the morning sightseeing and find a place to eat first. After you've settled in, Fatty and I will be your tour guides this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Jian Jia nodded readily.
At noon, Jian Jia and Qixia were arranged to stay at an inn in the Old City District.
Of course, they paid for it themselves. I'm not that generous now; I have to be careful with my money. After all, I still owe my girlfriend 12 million yuan, and I'll always feel uneasy if I don't pay it back.
After a simple meal, I started showing the two beautiful women around.
Fatty and I are basically the type who don't like going out. This was our first time visiting various gardens in Huaining City to broaden our horizons. So, like Jian Jia and Qixia, we were curious and ran around everywhere. We even tagged along with other tour guides and listened to their explanations more attentively than the members of the tours who actually paid for the tours. We even nodded from time to time, thinking that what they said made sense.
Jian Jia and Qixia are both cheerful and lively, and full of energy. They played until six o'clock in the morning, and only stopped after dark. They returned to the inn and found a private restaurant nearby to treat them to dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Jian Jia looked up at me and said, "Ding Han, the Wilderness has always been a dangerous place for us National Server players. Players from foreign servers have formed an alliance and are putting increasing pressure on us. Now, with the emergence of the Phase Barrier, it's really a headache. Players from Donghai City have hardly gone to the Wilderness lately."
"Actually, it's still because of the Moon Soil and that group of people on the Number 17."
I frowned. "From what I understand, not all players on the foreign servers are pro-war. If we can eliminate Moon Soil and Number 17, the situation on both sides will likely ease considerably."
"It's easier said than done."
Jian Jia said, "Moon Soil is known as a Tier 0.5 player, and he's especially cautious. As for that Number 17, he's even more troublesome. It's said he's already a GM with Intermediate Authority, and he'll have a strong ability to suppress other players."
"Let's find an opportunity."
"That's what I think too. We can join forces if necessary!"
With a flick of her wrist, she produced a gray longsword. After infusing it with her elemental energy, it emitted a deep blue sword light with a "hum".
It's a pink Power Sword!
"Holy crap!"
The fat man was surprised. "Jian Jia, when did it come out?"
"Yesterday, Blazing Light - The Last Covenant, Pink Second Generation Power Sword."
"Wow, that's impressive..."
I opened my eyes wide, and at that moment I realized that Jian Jia and Qixia were indeed qualified to be our allies.
"The alliance is settled."
I said with a smile, "If you ever need anything from Ding Han Squad, just let us know!"
"Uh-huh!"
Jian Jia smiled and nodded, "If Ding Han Squad needs our White Dew as Frost, please let us know. We'll go through fire and water for you!"
