At Baihai City East Station, Ling Yi immediately spotted his parents and Yin Hailing walking out of the station exit.
Ling Yi waved and walked towards them.
"Mom and Dad, are you tired?" Ling Yi asked, taking the luggage from Cong Lanzhi and Ling Zhan.
"It's alright," Ling Zhan said with a smile.
"You little rascal, you look much stronger and taller than I've seen in just a few days!" Cong Lanzhi said, measuring Ling Yi's head.
"Um, have you grown taller? No, I don't think so."
"He's definitely grown taller, at least this much." Cong Lanzhi her hand, indicating that he had grown about one centimeter.
"You've gotten stronger," Ling Zhan remarked.
"No wonder I felt the clothes were a little small." Ling Yi had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't noticed.
He then looked at Yin Hailing and said, "You should have at least called me before you came."
"I was thinking of getting you a taxi after I got off the bus," Yin Hailing said softly.
Ling Yi didn't say anything more. Since he was already there, there was no point in saying anything more.
This girl is really bold; she actually dared to run away from home alone. If something happened to her on the way, he probably wouldn't even know.
"Let's go back first and talk about it then."
Twenty minutes later, Ling Yi brought his parents and Yin Hailing to the villa.
The three of them were quite surprised to see such a large house.
"This is the villa you bought? It's huge!" Cong Lanzhi exclaimed.
Ling Zhan remained silent, simply observing his surroundings.
Just then, Zhu Yueting and Shi Yun came out of the kitchen, each carrying One Dish.
Upon seeing Ling Zhan and the others, they quickly placed the dishes on the table before coming over to greet them.
Hello, Uncle and Aunt!
"Hello, Uncle! Hello, Auntie!"
"Uh, okay!" Cong Lanzhi looked at Ling Yi with a questioning gaze.
"This is Zhu Yueting, and this is Shi Yun. They are both teachers at the School of Finance and Economics," Ling Yi introduced.
"These are my parents, and this is my high school classmate, Yin Hailing."
"Teacher?"
Is she really a teacher? She's so young, and so beautiful too. Could this brat be like in those TV dramas, going astray because he's rich?
However, this is not the time to ask too many questions, since we don't know or are familiar with each other.
I'll have to interrogate this brat privately later; I really need to make sure he doesn't go astray.
However, Ling Zhan and his two companions quickly learned about the relationship between Zhu Yueting, Shi Yun, and Ling Yi.
Zhu Yueting was a natural chatterbox, and without Ling Zhan and the others even needing to probe her, she rattled off how Ling Yi had saved her and how Ling Yi had met Boss Gao Sheng.
Of course, since Ling Yi had explained it beforehand, Gao Sheng giving away the villa turned into Ling Yi buying the villa from Gao Sheng.
Ling Zhan and Cong Lanzhi the moment they finished eating.
I never imagined that so many things would happen to my son in less than a week.
Around 9:30 PM, in Ling Yi's room.
"Your mother and I will discuss moving to Baihai City later." Ling Zhan showed some resistance to the idea of moving.
They were used to living in Dafeng City and didn't want to move. After all, Baihai City was too unfamiliar to them, and the older they got, the more resistant they became to unfamiliar environments.
Moreover, their son has his own life to live, and they don't want to disturb him too much.
"As for travel and such, forget about it."
They wouldn't fit in with young people, and if the young people went on trips together, the two of them would probably feel awkward and uncomfortable if they just followed along.
"What are your plans for the future?" Ling Zhan asked, changing the subject.
"Originally, I planned to work to earn some tuition money, but now I'm going to use this time before school starts to read more books and reflect on my studies."
"Once school starts, I will complete my associate's degree to bachelor's degree program as quickly as possible."
"I have some ideas in mind, and I'm planning to try starting a small company to see how it goes."
Ling Zhan nodded, satisfied with his son's plans. He saw that his son wasn't aiming too high or making any unrealistic dreams or ideals.
That's good.
Ling Yi is still young, and now is the time to accumulate various social experiences, especially since he suddenly has so much money. I'm afraid that Ling Yi will become impetuous.
"Not bad!" Ling Zhan gave a positive evaluation.
At this moment Cong Lanzhi asked, "What's the deal with Zhu Yueting, Shi Yun, and Yin Hailing? Which one is my daughter-in-law?"
"None of them." Ling Yi shook his head.
"No? No, it's not that some young lady is living with you?"
"Didn't I tell you? It's all a coincidence."
"What about Yin Hailing? She ran away from home for you!"
Ling Yi hadn't expected this either. Who would have thought that the well-behaved girl in everyone's eyes would do something so outrageous?
And all he and Yin Hailing did was go to an internet cafe together for two days, nothing else was particularly good!
"Let me tell you, even if Shi Yun doesn't say anything, Zhu Yueting and Yin Hailing definitely have feelings for you."
Ling Yi, being too close to the situation, was blinded by his own perspective, Cong Lanzhi and Ling Zhan, as outsiders, saw things very clearly.
There's animosity between Zhu Yueting and Yin Hailing. What is this? Isn't it just jealousy and competition?
Just as Ling Yi was about to retort, Ling Zhan said, "If you don't like it, just say so. These things should be decided decisively, not hesitantly."
Ling Yi frowned. His father had said the same thing, which meant he had clearly figured something out.
Could it be that Zhu Yueting and Yin Hailing really like me?
Ling Yi suddenly thought of his system and the "Affection " setting.
Yin Hailing, Affection 85; Zhu Yueting, Affection 88; Yao Hongyuan, Affection 40; Shi Yun, Affection 50.
In his previous life, Ling Yi had read quite a few online novels, and his 80+ Affection already spoke volumes.
However, this matter is really hard to explain clearly. If it were explained clearly, how would we accumulate Vow Power Points?
In just a few days, I've accumulated 85 Vow Power Points points.
Today alone, Zhu Yueting, Shi Yun, and Yin Hailing have earned 10 Vow Power Points, four Learning Card, two Investment Card, and 300,000 yuan in cash.
However, even when using the same Vow Power Points, Shi Yun and Yao Hongyuan's Affection increased much more slowly.
Shi Yun just reached 50 points, and Yao Hongyuan's Affection is even below average.
Perhaps there's some hidden setting to this Affection?
For the next few days, Ling Yi took his parents sightseeing in Baihai City.
Throughout this process, Zhu Yueting and Yin Hailing stayed with him, and Ling Yi finally realized the problem.
After continuous testing, Ling Yi confirmed several things.
First, once the Affection reaches 80 points, it will not decrease further. Even if Ling Yi does things they don't like, he can maintain a minimum Affection of 80 points.
Secondly, after 85 points, the rate of increase in Affection will drop significantly, increasing by a maximum of two or three points each time. Ling Yi guesses that 90 points should be the Affection for Human Grade.
Third, the higher the Affection, the better the rewards you'll receive.
For example, with Affection between 80 and 85 points, you can get over 10,000 cash, but with Affection above 85 points, you're guaranteed at least 20,000 cash.
The difference of ten or twenty thousand may not seem like much, but if you swipe your card several times a day, you can earn over a hundred thousand in cash, which is quite terrifying.
What's more, this is a guaranteed minimum, with no upper limit!
Ling Yi was somewhat resistant to the "Affection " system.
He at least has some principles; is this love? This is fucking data enslavement.
"Is the system trying to make me a scumbag? No way!"
In the waiting hall, Ling Yi watched his parents and Yin Hailing walk into the boarding gate and murmured to himself.
Ling Zhan and the others were going back to Baihai City, while Yin Hailing was forcibly Summon back by her parents.
Although Yin Hailing's current wish is to stay and not return to Dafeng City, she still has to consider the feelings of her parents.
Wishes are countless and constantly changing; Ling Yi can't possibly fulfill every single one of them.
Some wishes are either possible or not, otherwise it would be a bit too much to ask for.
In the past few days, Yin Hailing's Affection has reached 90 points.
She was the first among the girls to reach Affection of 90 points.
Just as Ling Yi guessed, 90 points of Affection is exactly the level of Affection for Human Grade.
As for the feelings involved, it's not something that can be Human Dao.
Moreover, just as Ling Yi had guessed, once the Affection reaches 80 or 90 points, it will be locked as a guaranteed minimum.
Over the past few days, Ling Yi has found a way to break free from data enslavement through continuous experimentation.
The system, though powerful, is ultimately inflexible.

"When are we going on vacation?" Zhu Yueting asked as soon as they returned to the villa.
"Do you have driver's licenses?" Ling Yi asked.
" Shi Yun has a driver's license," Zhu Yueting said, pointing to Shi Yun who was reading a book on the sofa.
"Then let's buy a car tomorrow. Dada Grassland isn't far; we'll drive there," Ling Yi said.
"Oh, well, although I have a driver's license, I haven't driven a car much, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drive well!" Shi Yun said somewhat embarrassedly.
Ling Yi shook his head. He was most afraid of novice drivers, and for the sake of his life, he decided against it.
Ling Yi can drive, but he doesn't have a driver's license. He'll ask Yao Hongyuan later to see if she can get him one.
These days are different from later generations; as long as you have connections, getting a driver's license is still quite easy.
"I can drive." At that moment, Yao Hongyuan's voice rang out from behind.
Ling Yi turned around and saw Yao Hongyuan, dressed in a red dress, walk in.
This woman is always radiant and exudes an Aura Field that's three or four meters tall.
"Have your uncle and aunt boarded the plane yet?" Yao Hongyuan asked, sitting down next to Shi Yun as if she were at home.
"Yes, we're already on the plane." Ling Yi nodded.
" Sister Hongyuan, thank you so much for these past few days."
These past few days, Ling Yi has been taking his parents sightseeing, and Yao Hongyuan Ling Yi specially arranged Siji and car for them.
Ling Yi was also grateful for this.
"Don't be so polite with me, sister. Besides, I didn't really help out."
After a pause, Yao Hongyuan continued, "Everything at the company has been settled. When are you planning to go and take a look?"
"Let's wait until we get back from Caoyuan!"
