Jiang Sui's Brother! Captain of the Imperial Crown! Captain of Sovereign Dominion! Zhou Keyu!
He was a handsome young man, and if we were to rate his looks, he would probably be around a six out of ten, making him one in a hundred. However, compared to his predecessors who were around seven out of a hundred and one in a thousand, he was still quite a bit behind.
"Oh wow, Liuli's here." The handsome young man put down his shopping bag, which was full of 500ml bottles of sweetened cola. "You look even prettier in person than in the photos."
"May I ask who you are?" Liuli asked, standing up.
" Zhou Keyu." Zhou Keyu wiped his hands, then extended his hand with a charming smile, "On behalf of the Imperial Crown Team and the Sovereign Dominion Team, I welcome you to join us."
"Stare--"
Liuli stared intently at Zhou Keyu's outstretched hand, lost in thought, and remained motionless for a long time, which made Zhou Keyu a little embarrassed. It was Jiang Sui who stepped in to defuse the situation.
" Zhou Keyu, are you blind, or did you not see the ring on Sister Liuli's hand? She's already married, a married woman, and should keep her distance from men and avoid physical contact."
"I guess I'm just being oblivious." Zhou Keyu withdrew his hand, scratching the back of his head with a laugh. "I thought your brother Yuejing was joking with me. I didn't expect you, Liuli, to actually get married at 18."
"Damn! This ring is high-end." Yin Long pulled out a magnifying glass from somewhere and examined it closely. "Jadeite, agate, rubies... just the gemstones set in the ring face alone are worth ten million."
As soon as the ten million figure was released, the air became noticeably hotter.
All eyes instantly turned to Liuli's ring. Some were shocked, some were dumbfounded, but most were greedy, like a pack of hungry wolves spotting a fat sheep, the sounds of swallowing saliva rising and falling.
Liuli stammered, "Why is everyone making that face?"
Jiang Sui asked in a trembling voice, " Sister Liuli, how much did this ring cost?"
Instead of answering directly, Liuli asked with a puzzled look, " Suisui, don't you recognize this ring?"
"How could we possibly know each other?" Jiang Sui stared intently at the ring, mentally preparing herself, and said, " Sister Liuli, as a rich heiress, stop keeping us in suspense and show us what's what!"
At this moment, Liuli finally realized something was wrong. "This is the Imperial Ring, worth 120 million RMB."
"120 million RMB?" Jiang Sui screamed in disbelief.
Yin Long's eyes widened. "Holy crap, 120 million?"
Hu Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy. "Damn it, I'm not saying this to criticize you, Liuli, you just casually wear a ring worth 120 million out like that? Aren't you afraid of getting robbed by bad guys?"
"What a blunder!" Zhou Keyu blurted out. "That Yuejing guy is always complaining about being poor in the Imperial Crown Team, even though his family is richer than a country. He still snatches those pittances in the team's group chat."
Liuli said with some anxiety, " Brother Hu, Yin Long, this is the Imperial Ring! It was a gift that the twelve core members of Imperial Crown pooled together to give to the captain."
Yin Long put away the magnifying glass and said, " Liuli, I wanted to ask you this earlier, what are the core members of the Imperial Crown?"
Liuli suddenly felt that Yin Long was a complete stranger, utterly different from the Coin Sex Fiend she remembered. "In the early days of the Imperial Emperor's Imperial Crown Team, there were twelve Imperial Crown Team members."
Yin Long asked suspiciously, " The Imperial Emperor created the Imperial Crown Team?"
Hu Xiao asked in astonishment, "Who is the Imperial Emperor?"
"Does anyone get my jokes?"
Jiang Sui couldn't help but chuckle, "This game name sounds so cringeworthy! Which Emperor, which King? Could it be the Imperial Emperor Tieba from Armor Hero Emperor Hero? No way, this is too funny."
Liuli took a half step back, a bone-chilling cold rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She looked at Jiang Sui, who was laughing heartily, and said in a trembling voice, " Suisui, why are you laughing? The Imperial Emperor is your brother."
" The Imperial Emperor is my brother? Haha, Sister Liuli, don't make me laugh." Jiang Sui wiped away tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and said, "My brother is Zhou Keyu, although he's not my blood brother."
" Zhou Keyu is your brother?"
Liuli trembled, then forced a smile and said, " Suisui, are you in cahoots with everyone to put on an act and tease me? Is Senior Imperial Emperor secretly observing my predicament from somewhere?"
" Sister Liuli, it seems you're exhausted from your journey and still a little sleepy, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. Let me reintroduce everyone here to you."
Jiang Sui pulled Hu Xiao and said, " Hu Xiao, King of Glory game name is [ Mountain Lord ], he's the Vice Captain of the Imperial Crown and Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, an ordinary national server player, but in real life he's involved in organized crime and has a small gang of three that they call the Tiger Gang."
Jiang Sui pulled Yin Long aside and said, " Yin Long, King of Glory game name is [ Silver Dragon ], he's the Vice Captain of the Imperial Crown and Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, an ordinary national server player, but in reality his family has fallen on hard times and he's heavily in debt. He's a lecherous scoundrel, a true second-generation lecherous devil."
"My Jiang Sui, King of Glory game name is [ Tai Sui ], I'm the leader of the Sovereign Dominion team, Diamond player, and in real life I'm a student at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, a freshman. I like King of Glory of Glory merchandise, especially King of Glory badges, but unfortunately I'm broke, so I can only buy second-hand items on Xianyu."
As for my brother, Zhou Keyu.
Jiang Sui pouted and said, " King of Glory game name is [ Xiang Yang ], Captain of the Imperial Crown and the Captain of Sovereign Dominion. In real life, he's a freshman at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and has some Acting Talent."
"What do you mean by 'a little Acting Talent '?" Zhou Keyu said, his face full of black lines. "Your brother is a child prodigy who can get into character in 6 seconds!"
"So what if you won the Shining Child Star Competition when you were eight? You're still showing off now," Jiang Sui said disdainfully. "All the money in the family went into supporting your acting career, and now you're just a nobody."
Zhou Keyu was deeply affected. He won the Shining Child Star Competition at the age of eight, thinking it would be the beginning of his acting career. However, at the peak of his career, without the support of any powerful figures, he quickly faded into obscurity.
"No, that's not right." Liuli's trembling voice came through.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Keyu looked at Liuli was looking down.
"None of them are correct!"
Liuli's rounded shoulders shrugged, her voice trembling as she said, " Hu Xiao isn't an ordinary national server player; he's Tiger Emperor, one of the Three Champion Emperors, possessing a hundred Major National Badge, the strongest top laner below the Imperial Emperor."
" Hu Xiao is a real gang called Tiger Gang, but it has over a thousand members and went bankrupt many years ago, becoming the largest lending company in Northeast China. It also has a security company in Kyoto, Japan."
Hu Xiao Roar's eyes widened in disbelief. "What the hell? Am I that awesome? How come I didn't know?"
Liuli's shoulders shrugged even more violently. " Yin Long isn't an ordinary national server player either. He's Dragon Emperor, one of the Three Champion Emperors, possessing a hundred Major National Badge, the strongest jungler below the Imperial Emperor."
" Yin Long has no debt in reality, and his family owns a leading enterprise in Huaxia with a market value exceeding 10 billion yuan, making him a true super-rich second-generation."
Yin Long was stunned. "What the hell? I wouldn't even dare to do something like this in my daydreams!"
Hearing this, Jiang Sui felt a secret sense of anticipation, thinking, "Could it be that in Sister Liuli's dream, I'm some incredibly awesome player in the national server?"
" Suisui is indeed a Diamond player."
"Huh?" Jiang Sui's eyelids twitched. Good grief, Hu Xiao Yin Long was a Champion Emperor player with a hundred Major National Badge, and she was only Diamond player? Was she kidding? Maybe she was really rich in Sister Liuli's dreams?
" Suisui is indeed very poor."
" Sister Liuli, what nonsense are you spouting?" Jiang Sui finally couldn't hold back any longer and was about to interrupt when she was shocked by what Liuli said next.
"But Suisui has a brother who loves her very much. Whether it's King of Glory badge or King of Glory merchandise, as long as Suisui wants something, even if it's the moon in the sky, her brother will find a way to pluck it down and give it to her."
"As for you, Zhou Keyu."
Liuli suddenly looked up, her fair cheeks flushed red, and tears of anger welling up in her eyes. If all of this was a dream, she wished she could wake up immediately; if it wasn't a dream, she wished it was all a dream!
"You are not Suisui's brother at all, nor are you the captain of the Imperial Crown Team or the Sovereign Dominion Team."
" Liuli, you're really strange offline." Zhou Keyu stepped forward. "I'm Jiang Sui, and also the Captain of Sovereign Dominion Imperial Crown and Jun Yu."
"Don't come any closer!" Liuli suddenly shouted.
Zhou Keyu shuddered in fright and quickly raised his hands, saying, "Okay, okay, calm down first."
The atmosphere inside plummeted to freezing point, eerily quiet enough to hear a pin drop, until a small head peeked out from the kitchen—it was Huyan Ya.
"Um, dinner is ready. Shall we eat?"
