The system was silent for a few seconds before speaking. [Do you think it’s normal to have hundreds of thousands of points?]
Ruan Qing shook his head. ‘It’s not normal.’
He had worked so hard, and his points had never even reached ten thousand; he even owed a lot.
It was already ridiculous enough that people like Lu Rufeng and Feng Ye had hundreds of thousands of points.
And that was after they had offered a bounty of one hundred thousand points for him.
‘Did they find a bug in the game instances?’
Although Ruan Qing phrased it as a question, his tone was affirmative.
The system responded with a faint, “Hmm.” Without finding bugs, it would be impossible to earn so many points.
Those who knew some truths about the instances had long since ceased aiming to clear them as their primary goal. They were all trying to find bugs in the game to seize more of ‘Its’ power.
Everyone dreamt of replacing ‘It’; everyone dreamt of becoming the only one.
Everyone dreamt of obtaining this person.
After the system confirmed his suspicion, Ruan Qing’s gaze shifted slightly.
System: “...”
[Their identities are special.]
Finding bugs in the instances was almost impossible.
Those few people could only find bugs and make the instances recognize their existence because of their special identities.
Ning Wang watched Su Zhen leave and left as well, without touching Ruan Qing’s phone again.
Because Ning Wang knew that if Su Zhen wanted to repay, he would definitely repay all the points.
The others left similarly, directly and straightforwardly.
In the eyes of most players, Su Zhen was a player, but many advanced players knew that Su Zhen was actually the boss of a certain advanced instance.
He just coincidentally became a player.
It was easier for him to exploit the instance bugs than anyone else.
The few people left decisively, presumably to prepare for the evening’s gambling session.
In an instant, only two people remained at the gambling table.
Ruan Qing let out a small sigh of relief and loosened his tightly clenched fingers a bit.
However, this relief was only temporary, as there was still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.
The man, who hadn’t had a chance to speak, looked a bit gloomy. He kept his head down, staring at the floor, emanating a sense of melancholy and sadness.
Ruan Qing glanced at him sideways. “What’s wrong?”
The man’s thin lips pressed together tightly, his tone tinged with frustration. “Am I very stupid?”
Ruan Qing paused suspiciously for a moment. “…No.”
Perhaps because Ruan Qing’s words didn’t sound very convincing, he immediately changed the subject. “My name is Yan Qing. What’s yours?”
“Han Ze.”
***
By this time, it was already late, and a faint light appeared outside the windows of the Life and Death Casino.
Ruan Qing looked around, then stood up, preparing to leave.
After taking a few steps, he noticed Han Ze was following him at a distance.
When Ruan Qing stopped and looked back at him, Han Ze hurriedly hid behind a pillar.
However, the pillar wasn’t very big and couldn’t hide Han Ze’s tall figure, leaving most of his body exposed.
Yet, he thought he was well hidden.
He cautiously peeked out from behind the pillar, carefully watching Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing rubbed his forehead helplessly. Really so dumb.
“Come here.”
Han Ze froze when he heard Ruan Qing’s voice and shrank back a little fearfully.
But he still obediently came out from behind the pillar, standing awkwardly in front of Ruan Qing, looking like he had done something wrong.
“You can follow me openly,” Ruan Qing reminded him. “You just won against me.”
Han Ze’s eyes lit up, filled with hope. “Re-really?”
Ruan Qing nodded slightly.
Han Ze was overjoyed, feeling an endless burst of energy and an urge to embrace the person in front of him.
However, he was afraid of being disliked, so he suppressed the urge to hug the person in front of him.
Even though Han Ze tried hard to suppress his impulse, anyone could tell how happy he was, as he exuded an aura of joy.
There was no hint of dominance, nor any sense of oppression, just pure happiness.
But Han Ze’s happiness didn’t last long; he soon became unhappy again.
The person in front of him was so good-looking and smart, surely he wouldn’t like him.
He was so dumb.
Everyone in the casino knew how dumb he was and despised him. If the young man found out how dumb he was, he would definitely despise him, too.
Moreover, the only reason the young man had him follow him was because he lost to him, not because he won on his own merit.
What that annoying man said was right; he actually didn’t win at all.
And tomorrow, there would still be two people participating in the gambling match. He didn’t know anyone else in the casino, and he couldn’t even find a teammate.
Han Ze became increasingly gloomy.
But in the next second, Han Ze cheered up again. If the young man would dislike him for being dumb, then he just wouldn’t let the young man know he was dumb.
Han Ze immediately put on a blank expression and stopped talking.
If one didn’t look into his eyes, he seemed like a normal, taciturn person.
Han Ze didn’t want to deceive the young man, but he really liked him.
Liked him so much that just seeing him made him happy.
Once he tricked the young man into becoming his wife, he would tell him he was dumb. That way, it wouldn’t count as deceiving him.
The more Han Ze thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, completely oblivious to how his foolish eyes made him look like an idiot.
Just like how a stern-faced husky, no matter how much it tried to disguise itself, could be recognized at a glance.
Ruan Qing no longer paid attention to Han Ze and thoughtfully walked towards his room.
Han Ze followed Ruan Qing into his room with a blank expression.
Ruan Qing frowned slightly when he saw Han Ze following him into his room, but ultimately didn’t drive him out.
As long as those people didn’t see him, there wouldn’t be any danger.
Han Ze was a part of the system, and the system wouldn’t allow Han Ze to do anything. The system itself had never done anything to him, and given their cooperation, it was even more unlikely.
Moreover, an idiot shouldn’t be able to do anything, since his thoughts were basically written all over his face. You could tell what he’s thinking with just one glance.
However...
“You don’t need to follow me while I shower,” Ruan Qing said firmly, holding his clothes and looking at Han Ze, his eyes full of refusal.
There was no hint of compromise.
Han Ze responded with a pitiful “oh,” completely forgetting to maintain his usual expressionless facade.
He watched eagerly as Ruan Qing entered the bathroom and obediently waited outside.
The bathroom door of the Life and Death Casino wasn’t made of glass, so once the door was closed, not even a shadow could be seen.
these big shots are def gonna enter his room and see them. i hope he and han ze sleep together<3
