CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 266: HAVE YOU CONSIDERED CHANGING TO ANOTHER PROFESSION?

Time: 13:51

Location: Jinfu Grand Hotel, 6th Floor Multimedia Conference Hall

At this moment, the huge and spacious conference hall was filled with hundreds of young men and women who had rushed over upon hearing the news, each excitedly whispering about something.

The topic of their conversations largely revolved around one thing:

"Do you think Feng Hua will show up? I’m so excited!"

Apart from the regular hotel guests, the rest of the people were drawn here through various channels upon hearing the buzz.

Among these people, aside from discussing whether Feng Hua would appear here,

there was also a lot of discussion about the various aspects of this "Glory Battle," with excited cheers erupting from time to time.

Ning Wenliang had arranged for all of them to gather here.

He was genuinely worried that these people might get out of control and cause greater harm.

To appease everyone’s emotions, Ning Wenliang volunteered to seek Feng Hua’s opinion to see if he could convince him to meet everyone briefly.

...

However, Lin Yi had already boarded the bus heading back to Binhai City, bidding farewell to this city.

Guo Shaojie was driving in the front, grumbling as he went:

"It’s such a pity to miss such a rare opportunity to get close to the fans."

"A pity? Hehe~"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ouyang Hao teasingly said:

"If you really felt it was a pity, why didn’t you go when the boss asked you to?"

"We did give you the chance!"

Guo Shaojie, unfazed by Ouyang Hao’s teasing, said:

"It was a team effort today. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to go there alone?"

"We’re a team after all, and we should share fortune and adversity, right?"

"Tsk~"

Ouyang Hao rolled his eyes at Guo Shaojie, mercilessly exposing him:

"If you were truly embarrassed, would you mind explaining what those saved numbers of yours are for?"

"Uh~"

Guo Shaojie was shocked and glanced at Ouyang Hao beside him:

"How did you know?"

Ouyang Hao chuckled:

"Would you believe me if I said I just happened to pass by?"

"Yeah, right, like I believe you!"

Guo Shaojie promptly changed the subject and asked Lin Yi, who was in the back seat:

"By the way, boss, what did you say to Shen Yanhua in the end? He seemed so excited, almost ready to kneel down and thank you."

Sitting in the back seat, Lin Yi was staring out of the window absentmindedly, seemingly lost in thought, and did not respond to Guo Shaojie’s question.

Seeing this, Guo Shaojie didn’t press further but continued chatting with Ouyang Hao to pass the time during the drive.

...

The event in Yuanfeng City felt like a small episode in life for everyone there, barely worth remembering.

As the car left Yuanfeng City, the incident gradually faded away.

Perhaps one day in the future, it would be brought up again as a topic of amusement.

After a few hours of driving, the group finally returned to their residence in Binhai City.

To their surprise, they saw a familiar figure right after entering the community.

"Jing? What are you doing here?"

"When did you arrive?"

Ouyang Hao was surprised as he turned his incredulous gaze towards Lin Yi, as if asking:

’When did you give her the address?’

’How come nobody heard about this earlier?’

Lin Yi felt wronged and said:

"I didn’t say anything. It’s not my fault."

It seemed like he was both answering Ouyang Hao and clarifying to someone else.

At this moment, Wang Zixin nervously raised her little hand and said:

"I was the one who told Sister Jing the address."

Dongfang Jing took this opportunity to greet everyone and said:

"Don’t blame Zixin. I begged her to tell me your address."

Dongfang Jing’s sudden appearance left everyone looking at each other in dismay and then shifting their gaze to Lin Yi.

Though Lin Yi had wanted to invite Dongfang Jing to stay, he hadn’t yet voiced the suggestion, and she was already here.

Seeing Dongfang Jing with a large suitcase, her intentions were obvious without words.

"Since everyone is here, ..."

Lin Yi instinctively looked at Zhang Xinying; it was hard for a guy like him to handle such matters.

Noticing Lin Yi’s glance, Zhang Xinying nodded understandingly and approached Dongfang Jing, saying:

"Sister Jing, let me show you where to stay."

Saying this, Zhang Xinying led Dongfang Jing towards another villa.

Lin Yi called after Dongfang Jing:

"Take some time to get familiar with the place. We’ll throw you a welcome party sometime soon."

Dongfang Jing turned back and smiled slightly:

"Thank you!"

Guo Shaojie’s face was full of daze at that backward glance, muttering:

"So beautiful!"

Lin Yi went forward and tapped his head warningly:

"This woman isn’t as simple as she looks. I advise you against getting any bad ideas."

"Don’t blame me if something happens and you didn’t heed my warning."

Hearing this, Guo Shaojie felt wronged and, wiping away his drool, declared righteously:

"Do I really seem so rotten to you guys?"

But after seeing everyone’s gaze, he sighed, like a deflated balloon:

"Fine, pretend I said nothing."

Lin Yi ignored Guo Shaojie’s antics and instructed:

"Everyone just got back; take some time to rest. Let’s meet at six in the evening to level up together."

Everyone responded in unison:

"Yes, boss!"

After all, a few hours’ drive warranted some rest.

Upon reaching his room, Lin Yi quickly freshened up before diving into the gaming pod, entering the game.

Traveling for hours didn’t tire him at all.

As soon as Lin Yi logged in, he received a private message from Shengshi Zuigui.

It was about the "Glory Battle."

Though Shengshi Guiren had already apologized to Lin Yi earlier, Shengshi Zuigui was still quite upset upon learning about it and apologized to Lin Yi once again.

Lin Yi didn’t take it to heart.

After some small talk, Lin Yi learned from Shengshi Zuigui that the matter was causing a stir on the forums.

Photos of Lin Yi and his friends in real life had also been uploaded online.

Though Lin Yi didn’t attend that so-called "fan meeting," it didn’t stop people from speculating about his real-life identity.

After all, Lin Yi and his large group in the restaurant were hard to miss.

Lin Yi wasn’t really concerned about the exposure of his real identity.

He had anticipated this outcome when he decided to help.

Due to the reveal of Lin Yi’s true identity and his handsome look, Feng Hua’s in-game popularity actually increased rather than decreased.

At least from now on, no one could question Feng Hua’s appearance.

After hanging up with Shengshi Zuigui, Lin Yi used the Teleportation Array to arrive at White Tiger City.

Due to the "Treasure Capture Battle", even though the average level was still around 25, a large number of players had grouped up to level up at Vermilion Bird City.

While White Tiger City was sparsely populated, the other three main cities were crowded with players.

Shortly after Lin Yi arrived in White Tiger City, the Teleportation Array flashed again, and someone appeared behind him, excited:

"Feng Hua, the Great?"

Lin Yi looked at the person, smiling slightly:

"If you don’t mind, you can call me Boss Feng like the others do."

"Sure, Boss Feng!"

Looking at the slightly shy young man in front of him, Lin Yi took a scroll out of his bag, handed it to him, and asked:

"Have you considered changing professions?"

......

This concludes today’s update.
