The Sparsely Populated Detective Bureau

That night, Su Li lay in bed, unusually not entering the Virtual Universe.

At this moment, after the initial excitement, his mind gradually calmed down.

He felt a little uneasy because everything had happened too suddenly. Xia Ke had suddenly invited him to watch a movie, then she had suddenly become incredibly beautiful. Even more shamelessly, he had unhesitatingly overturned his previous feelings for Xia Ke and directly confessed his feelings as she had wished.

Logically, as a man, he shouldn't be having these emotions, but Su Li still wanted to know what was so great about him that Xia Ke would be so proactive.

Su Li asked himself if he had any outstanding qualities. His appearance was only ordinarily handsome, not stunningly so.

He wasn't good with words either; at the very least, he didn't know how to charm girls.

Although his grades were good, that wasn't particularly impressive in college, especially to girls.

Su Li felt his only advantage, and a significant one at that, was that he was now a relatively strong Superhuman. But the problem was, Xia Ke couldn't possibly know this!

After thinking for a long time, Su Li replayed everything he had done during the time he had known Xia Ke.

He had helped Xia Ke participate in the eating contest; this should have been a plus point, making Xia Ke develop some good feelings for him, but not enough to make her so proactive.

That day at Misty Rain Summer Wind, under Zheng Hongyu's careful orchestration, he had performed a "hero saves the damsel" act. But this was just for fun, and in Su Li's opinion, it only served to increase her good feelings and nothing more!

Later...

There was no later!

"Ah, this is so annoying, girls' minds are so hard to read!" Su Li rolled around on the bed, muttering softly.

"Forget it, what am I afraid of? She's not going to dump me, is she? A man should have some confidence in himself. In a few days, I'll make her unable to stand a day without seeing me, and then..."

As Su Li thought, his thoughts drifted off to somewhere else entirely, and he found himself enjoying the daydream.

November 2, 2019, early morning.

Su Li sat up in bed, completely bewildered. What had happened last night...

Yesterday, he had been thinking about Xia Ke, and then his whole body had become a little hot. After that, he had gone to Primal Star and hunted beasts for a few hours.

However, his efficiency last night had been surprisingly high, and he hadn't felt any of the usual discomfort while hunting monsters.

But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that after he withdrew from the Virtual Universe last night, he had actually fallen asleep.

It was worth noting that ever since he broke through E-, he had slept very little. Sleeping for half the night like this, especially falling asleep in a daze, had never happened before!

"Could this be the feeling of being nourished by love?"

Although Su Li was attracted to Xia Ke's face, this should still be a form of liking, right?

"Right, I'm supposed to register at the Detective Bureau with Xia Ke today."

Thinking of this, Su Li happily got out of bed, quickly washed up, and then rapidly left the dormitory.

After leaving the dormitory, Su Li sent Xia Ke a message and then headed straight for the East Gate of Donghai University.

When Su Li arrived at the East Gate, he saw that Xia Ke was already standing there waiting for him!

Today, Xia Ke wasn't wearing her stunning pleated skirt; she was just in ordinary clothes.

However, one thing remained unchanged: Xia Ke was still as beautiful as ever.

This made Su Li even more certain of his guess: Xia Ke had most likely awakened a Talent that increased her appearance.

Otherwise, the previous Xia Ke had just worn a pair of large glasses, and the difference in appearance couldn't possibly be this significant!

However, Su Li didn't really care about this. He didn't care about the previous Xia Ke; as long as the current Xia Ke was beautiful, that was enough for him!

As Su Li thought, he quickly walked up to Xia Ke. He took her hand and asked, "You've been here for a long time, haven't you?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came early!" Xia Ke said, a smile appearing on her face. "But I feel completely awake now and full of energy."

"I couldn't sleep either, and I'm not tired at all!"

Su Li understood what Xia Ke meant. Although Su Li really wanted to tell Xia Ke that her being not tired was entirely because she had become a Superhuman yesterday, and had nothing to do with love.

But in the end, Su Li didn't do that. Instead, he very much agreed and echoed her sentiment.

"Ah? Really? I wanted to chat with you yesterday, but I was afraid you were asleep!"

"It's okay, just send it boldly next time! Your messages, even if you're asleep, I'll still get up for them!" Su Li automatically mastered the skill: Sweet Talk.

"En en!"

Xia Ke was clearly very happy. She believed him.

So, no matter what, a man who knows how to say nice things is always more liked by girls.

After a brief moment of affection, the two then walked towards the address of the former internet cafe "Starry Night," now the "Detective Bureau."

Meanwhile, Xia Ke held Su Li's arm tightly, and the two of them exuded a sickeningly sweet aura of love, making passersby avoid them.

They were completely oblivious, going their own way.

Upon arriving at the Detective Bureau again, Su Li keenly noticed that it had expanded considerably. It seemed the bureau had absorbed quite a few neighboring shops recently.

However, this was only normal. Otherwise, how could the territory of a mere internet cafe possibly accommodate an entire department like the Detective Bureau?

Even if this department was somewhat special!

"Is this the Detective Bureau?" Xia Ke seemed to be here for the first time and appeared somewhat curious.

"Mm!"

Su Li nodded, then said, "This is the place. Let's go!"

After Su Li spoke, he took Xia Ke's hand and they walked forward.

After the two entered the Detective Bureau, they were quickly astonished to find that the vast bureau was completely empty...

Su Li led Xia Ke from the entrance to the interior, from the first floor to the second, but they didn't see a single person.

"Can I help you two?"

Suddenly, a clear, cool voice came from the end of the corridor on the second floor.

Su Li glanced into the distance and was surprised. The person speaking was none other than Director Ye Mohan, who was quite famous in Donghai City.

"It's Director Ye!" Xia Ke whispered.

"Mm!" Su Li nodded, then looked up and said, "Director Ye, we're here to register as Superhumans!"

"Register as Superhumans?" Ye Mohan thought for a moment, then called out towards a nearby room, "Xiao Wang—"

"Yes!"

The next moment, a woman who looked like a secretary, dressed in black stockings and high heels, came rushing out of another room.

"Take them to register as Superhumans. Also, I have other matters for you to handle!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Ye Mohan nodded, then turned and left.
