Volume 1, Chapter 26: "Honest Work"

My heart skipped a beat, filled with sudden unease.

It wasn't until I got closer that I noticed both Sister Yuzhu and Sister Jing were smiling as they walked together. I let out a long sigh of relief, but at the same time, I wanted to slap myself. This feeling made me feel like a thief hiding in the shadows. I suppressed the turmoil in my heart and stepped forward to greet, "Sister Jing."

Both Sister Jing and Sister Yuzhu looked at me, explaining that they had run into each other by chance at the factory and started chatting, only to find they had more in common than expected.

"Well, I won't disturb you two lovebirds anymore~" Sister Jing said with a laugh, patting Sister Yuzhu on the shoulder before turning to leave. But when Sister Yuzhu looked at me, her back...

Robert Lee felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment toward Zhu Guoqing: envy for his dark skin, jealousy that he had been drafted by an NBA team, and resentment that he would actually abandon an NBA preseason game for something as trivial in his eyes as these National Games.

The dynamic between the couple was incredibly strange. Despite being the closest of partners, things had become awkward—more awkward than between total strangers.

Beyond the Integration-stage demonic beasts, there were nearly a hundred Spirit Severing-stage ferocious beasts. Of their entire group, only the three of them had managed to survive.

Gege was truly at his limit. He felt like an ordinary player who had been diligently grinding levels and farming gear, only to suddenly encounter a cheater. Not only did the cheater have hacks, but his attitude was abysmal, ruining the entire gaming experience.

Before the speaker could finish, the young man who had been standing there a moment ago shattered like broken glass, dissipating into the air. Then, the previously motionless Star Dragon came back to life, thrashed about in the air, and charged toward Zhou Jiu.

Standing within the illusion of the rock zone, they could see nothing but a pitch-black cavern. The sound of a wailing infant echoed in their ears, and the tactile resistance of the rock illusion pressed against them from all sides, making them feel as if they were standing at the gates of hell.

Xu Yunxin and Liao Qing had become well-known offensive players in the Republic’s volleyball scene. After returning from injury, Liao Qing had helped her team win the league cup last season, and entering this season, her blocking had reached new heights, complemented by a further refinement of her offensive skills.

He was unwilling to imagine the worst for his savior, but it was clear that this person was someone who should not have appeared in this time and place.

Finally, he lured the opponent to a position where the number of puppets was minimized and the distance between them was just right. The moment the opponent teleported, he had the puppets retreat, moving beyond the range of Black Skin’s teleportation, and then sprinted away.

Wang Yicheng and Wang Yizong temporarily settled in the Huangzhou Prefecture office, waiting for the Virtuous Prince to finalize the grain distribution schedule with officials from the surrounding counties, while simultaneously calculating the total amount of grain needed for disaster relief across the entire prefecture.

Yugi Muto resonated with the soul of the Pharaoh. The bond that transcended eras generated a black-hole-like gravitational force, pulling the golden chains back with all their might.

Holding the dried meat Elder Zhu had given him, Chu Chen’s eyes filled with tears. Eventually, he returned the meat, which was likely the old man’s last remaining food, and gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Major Makino Kanami of the Japanese forces never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent. With the enemy’s location unknown, no one dared to move, as any exposure could mean death.

Before the Nine-Infant Evil Blade vanished, a voice filled with infinite hatred exploded in the void—the Evil King had not fallen, or at least, not entirely.

Whether it was Ulala or Ojaou, there was only one thought in their minds at that moment: "Why do I understand every word you say, but when you put them together, I have no idea what you mean?"

Surprised, it was hard to imagine that someone who had been intent on killing him just moments ago would suddenly want to be friends. Ding Bu'er chuckled and shook his head with a faint response.

"Grandmother, don't be afraid. I didn't fall into the water, really." Wang Xiuying hurriedly reassured the old lady, which finally allowed her to calm down and urge Wang Xiuying to continue her story.

An "Ouch" made the coachman outside think he hadn't driven well, and he couldn't help but turn back to apologize repeatedly.

He looked up into the mirror again, smoothed his hair, took off the blood-stained shirt, and put on a brand-new T-shirt.

Long Xueji, Long Xueqing, and all the prisoners were hopeful that Su Mu would be able to leave this place.

Seeing their companion beaten, the other boys grabbed wine bottles or the stools they were sitting on—anything within reach—and rushed toward Peng Yu.

Ye Chen had been so carried away with satisfaction that he was left speechless. He gave his teacher a sheepish grin and went to turn off the machine; the extra footage could be trimmed in post-production, so it wouldn't have much of an impact. It was fortunate it didn't come to a reshoot; that would have been truly miserable.

The headset was filled with noise; because Bu Hui was livestreaming, the communication between teammates was being heard by the audience.

At the First People's Hospital of Yuning, Shen Yulong lay in his hospital bed, eating the red bean porridge fed to him by Shen Zhizhang.

Ye Chen nodded. Although he didn't know what this Flame Cave was, the people here knew his location, so it must be a place with a unique character.

Although the Divine Pet had already disrupted the game's balance, Divine Pets were not supposed to be able to attack players. The fact that Xie Ting and his group’s pets could attack Su Mu without suffering divine retribution was already shocking enough.

"Reporting to the General, there are less than five hundred cavalry left. But Jieli has already sent men to gather the troops," Kang Sumi said.

Zhang Nan wasn't afraid to be transparent with them. After all, Li Er should know how much money he had; Li Er held shares in both the bar and the private club. Once Li Er received his dividends, he could easily deduce how much Zhang Nan had made.

He then began to look over the manuscript that Kong Lin'er had finished reading. At first, he didn't see what was so remarkable about it, but as he read the later parts, he suddenly paused.

If Zhou Bazhi were truly willing to make the sacrifice and borrow a large number of men from the Longhe Society, Chen Anhe would definitely be unable to stop him.

Su Yifei and Liu Hanfeng breathed long sighs of relief. Xue Yihan had already fought four matches—or to be precise, three grueling ones. His stamina and reflexes had declined, while Liu Yiming, who had inherited the best of Liu Hanfeng’s techniques, was fully prepared. Once the fighting started, he held the upper hand firmly.
