There's 50,000 in the Account-Spend Whatever You Want! / A Strange Sense of Familiarity...

Fuck, if the Dean of Studies happened to pass by right now, he'd be finished.

"Isn't puppy love forbidden at school? I just wanted Brother Ling Feng to experience what it felt like to have a girlfriend. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

Ling Wanqing looked delighted, practically wearing an expression that said, "Brother Ling Feng, hurry up and praise me," full of pride.

Forty-Five: There's Fifty Thousand in the Card, Spend It However You Want!

Ling Feng returned home with Ling Wanqing.

The moment he stepped through the door, Ling Feng caught the long-missed aroma drifting from the kitchen.

Who else could be cooking but Ling Xiaoyu?

Hearing the door open, Ling Xiaoyu was delighted as well.

Xiaofeng and Wan Qing were back!

They had only been apart for a few days, yet Ling Xiaoyu's mind was already filled with nothing but her younger brother.

It was because news had recently come from Yanjing, requiring her to get the Magic Academy up and running as soon as possible. Funding, human resources, and everything else were indispensable.

Fortunately, all of that was provided by the Yanjing Magic Association headquarters. Otherwise, she would never have been willing to spend her own money.

The matter of the Magic Academy had not yet been made public, but it was only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, the Star Engraving Alliance had not made a single move.

"Xiaofeng, Wan Qing, you're back! How did the exams go? Did everything go smoothly? It's fine even if it didn't. Just work harder next year!"

Ling Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate in each hand and happily greeted them.

Ling Xiaoyu seemed to be in a good mood. Ling Feng had no idea what she was so happy about, but she always gave people the impression of being gentle and virtuous.

She could clearly rely on her looks, yet she insisted on relying on her talents!

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu. Brother Xiaofeng has been really serious at school. He's been studying hard these past few days."

Ling Wanqing immediately gave Ling Feng a godlike assist. Even Ling Feng's gaze toward her now carried a hint of gratitude.

As expected of my good little sister. I really didn't spoil her for nothing!

He was genuinely touched.

"Oh? Let's eat first."

Ling Xiaoyu answered calmly, seemingly accepting that explanation.

As they sat at the dining table, Ling Xiaoyu casually observed Ling Feng.

After not seeing him for a few days, she felt as though Ling Feng had changed somewhat.

But she could not quite say what exactly had changed.

"Xiaofeng, what kind of New Year's gifts do you want?"

Ling Xiaoyu simply stopped thinking about it. After all, she knew studying was not easy. Not everyone could be like her and rank first in the grade every time.

"Wow! Sister Xiaoyu is giving us New Year's gifts?" Ling Wanqing looked excited.

"Of course. You can ask for anything you want."

Ling Xiaoyu did not seem to care at all, as though she could truly give them whatever they wanted.

Ling Feng said nothing. He knew their family's financial situation was poor, and Ling Xiaoyu had to work part-time jobs every day.

Yet to give Ling Feng and the others the best, she made nearly every meal lavish and abundant.

Even though livestreaming equipment was now a problem, Ling Feng was sensible enough not to ask for anything.

Seeing Ling Feng remain silent, Ling Xiaoyu's expression shifted slightly, but she felt exceptionally gratified inside.

As expected of my good little brother. He already knows how to care about his sister~

"All right, you two can go buy whatever you want. There's fifty thousand in this card. Split it between yourselves and buy whatever you like!"

With that, Ling Xiaoyu actually took out a silver card.

Ling Feng froze slightly, his head full of question marks.

Since when has Sister Xiaoyu been this generous? No, no, she must be testing me. If I accept it, I'm dead for sure!

How could I fall for something so easily!

Ling Feng immediately came to that conclusion.

It was not that Ling Feng did not want to believe it. He simply did not dare to believe it!

Would you believe that a sister who only gave you fifty yuan a week for living expenses would suddenly take out fifty thousand one day and tell you to spend it however you wanted?

Unless that person was an idiot, no one would believe it!

"I don't need it, Sister Xiaoyu. You should give it to Brother Xiaofeng instead."

"Hm? Then I'll give you something else later," Ling Xiaoyu said.

Ling Wanqing hurriedly declined. She knew it was wrong to take other people's money, mainly because she was not short on money herself.

Back when she still lived at home, spending several thousand or even tens of thousands a day was normal for Ling Wanqing.

She could casually exchange some points for accessories, then directly convert them into money through Destiny Sign, enough to cover her expenses for quite some time.

When Ling Feng heard Ling Wanqing say that, he felt a little grateful. Even if she had not said it, he would have refused anyway.

Ling Feng knew that the money included Ling Xiaoyu's scholarships, the earnings from countless part-time jobs, and even the money from selling tea eggs. Every bit of it was the result of hard work!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng felt even more touched by Ling Xiaoyu. She truly was his real sister!

Of the three of them, only Ling Xiaoyu was confused.

Wasn't it just fifty thousand?

Those gangsters had offered it to her before. Ling Xiaoyu had not cared about it at all.

She had merely thought that Spring Festival was approaching, so she would give it to Ling Feng and the others to spend.

Had she really been too strict with Xiaofeng usually?

Forty-Six: An Inexplicable Sense of Familiarity

Seeing how sensible Ling Feng was, Ling Xiaoyu could not help but feel sorry for him.

What sister in this world did not "like" her younger brother?

Since Ling Xiaoyu would be leaving for a long time afterward, she cared deeply about Ling Feng's feelings.

Without exaggeration, as long as Ling Feng was willing to ask now, Ling Xiaoyu could give him several million or even tens of millions.

She was afraid he would not take good care of himself.

If Ling Feng knew Ling Xiaoyu was this rich, he definitely would not be polite about it. He might even be upset over it.

My ridiculously rich sister is right beside me?

People always said boys should be raised frugally and girls lavishly.

She had put a great deal of thought into training Ling Feng.

After thinking it over, Ling Xiaoyu still decided to forget it. She could not give up halfway through.

"Xiaofeng, Wan Qing, how about we relax tonight and go shopping together?" Ling Xiaoyu suggested.

"Sure, sure! These past few days of exams have exhausted me. Let's go have some fun together."

The moment she heard they were going shopping, Ling Wanqing immediately became excited. She grabbed Ling Feng's arm with her little hands and shook it back and forth, afraid he would refuse.

Shopping was only lively when there were lots of people.

Besides, what were brothers for? To carry clothes while shopping, of course.

Women were probably born loving to shop. Their three happiest things were buy, buy, buy.

"Brother Xiaofeng, look, look! The clothes in the display window are calling out to me."

Ling Wanqing continued acting cute. She hoped all three of them would go.

Actually, even if Ling Wanqing had not said anything, Ling Feng wanted to go out and browse around. He even wanted to buy something himself.

That was rather strange.

"You two go ahead. Uh, I'll pass. I just finished my exams today, and I really don't feel like moving. Sorry."

Ling Feng pretended to be exhausted. Seeing him like that, Ling Wanqing could not say much, though she felt quite disappointed.

"Then us sisters will go together. Ignore him." Ling Xiaoyu put on a hard-hearted expression, making Ling Wanqing laugh.

It was not that Ling Feng did not want to go. He had something more important to do.

He did not even have livestreaming equipment now. The only computer could only be used for gaming.

He was not sure whether it would work, but he had to try first.

Ling Feng went to take a hot shower.

After returning to his room and changing into pajamas, he immediately turned on that secondhand laptop.

Sitting beside the computer, he waited for more than half an hour before it finally booted up.

Fuck, the flowers had practically withered waiting for it. If he had known, the first thing he should have done after returning was turn it on.

Fortunately, he had spent some time reading novels to pass the time.

Ling Feng eagerly clicked the game icon on the desktop, hoping the game would launch quickly.

His desire for the game was like a starving person's craving for food.

On the login screen, Ling Feng immediately saw that familiar character in front of him.

Characters in Chronicles of Time and Space could be modeled by the players themselves, or they could directly use the original class characters.

This game did not actually divide players by class. It mainly categorized skills, and over time, a single system had formed among the player base.

For artists, illustrators, and modeling masters, playing this game was a form of enjoyment. They could directly bring characters they had created into the game.

The character modeling was similar to another recently popular game, Original Demon.

But all of that was secondary. What mattered most was skill!

Ling Feng's own character was a very pretty girl.

A female fan had made it for Ling Feng for free in the past.

The girl on the screen wore a pure JK uniform. A huge bow was tied behind her long purple hair, and she had a perfect girlish figure. She looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and was unbelievably beautiful.

If the profile did not list the gender as male, people would really think Ling Feng was a girl.

Ling Feng had originally not wanted to use it, but it was the girl's heartfelt gift. Besides, she was his fan, so he could not let her kindness go to waste.

He had not paid much attention to it before, but now that he looked at the character, Ling Feng strangely felt that she looked familiar.

"Why does it feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"

Ling Feng was somewhat baffled.

Forty-Seven: First Livestream

Ling Feng downloaded Dragon Fang Esports, where he used to watch game livestreams.

The moment he entered, he saw several major SK Era streamers.

More than eighty percent of Dragon Fang TV's streamers were basically gaming streamers.

SK Chronicles of Time and Space alone occupied an entire half of all gaming livestreams, showing just how popular the game had become.

This was the largest professional esports platform on the internet. Many retired veterans and professional experts chose Dragon Fang TV.

If a new streamer did not have solid skills, it was almost impossible to survive here.

Ling Feng was really just trying his luck. Earning a few dozen yuan would already be pretty good.

He was not one of those major contracted streamers. If they needed to terminate their contracts after streaming long-term, they would have to pay enormous breach-of-contract penalties.

Ling Feng mainly wanted to sharpen his skills for the Winter Tournament first. He did not know whether his skills had declined.
