Chapter 222: Chapter 215: “We Have a Big Prize for You.”_2
“I’ve placed someone inside your Skywake,” said Yi.
“Let’s call him Little Traitor for now.”
“After you return, you continue to be the president, and he’ll be the vice president.”
“What do you think?”
“I think that’s entirely possible,” Zhou Ziqiang said with a wry smile and a helpless shrug. “After what happened this time, I’d already secretly decided that anyone could be vice president, just not a woman.”
...
“Bow to the high hall! Bow to the heaven and earth! Husband and wife bow to each other!”
Zhou Ziqiang, wearing a large overcoat with a big red flower stitched onto the chest, and Yan Niang, veiled in red, stood inside a room, partaking in a makeshift wedding ceremony.
The grin on Sword Without End’s face twitched uncontrollably as he played the role of the officiant.
It seems that nowadays, a man isn’t ashamed to step outside unless he’s killed a wife or two.
Yi kills his wife, and then you, Zhou Ziqiang, must also kill yours—after the wedding, no less.
With this thought.
He suddenly thought of his own wife, and his complexion turned a shade paler instantaneously, his gaze drifting distantly towards Yan Niang’s silhouette.
His wife had been seriously ill, with no money for treatment.
On the eve of her death, she writhed and howled in pain all night, the sound grating and heart-wrenching to hear.
Unable to bear seeing his wife suffer so, he took a pillow in the night while she convulsed in agony, and he ended her suffering.
He had done nothing wrong.
But he was still sad.
No wonder the three of them could get along; they were all of the same unsavory kind.
...
“Why do you need a camera?”
Yan Niang, wrapped in a thin veil lying on the bed, glanced uneasily out the window before turning to Zhou Ziqiang, who was taking off his pants by the window: “Will Chen Yi really listen to you?”
“Am I really safe?”
“You’re safe now, don’t think too much about it.”
Zhou Ziqiang, having removed his pants, positioned a camera by the window, angling it for the best view of the large bed. Then, he climbed onto the bed and pulled Yan Niang into his arms.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured.
Yan Niang pushed down the fear in her eyes, then caressed Zhou Ziqiang’s chest and whispered back, “I shouldn’t have done those stupid things before, I didn’t mean to cheat deliberately, it was those men, they forced me.”@@@@
“I didn’t plan to poison you either, I was just a bit resentful that after being with you for so long, you always treated me as a substitute for your sister.”
“I just wanted you to like me, that’s all.”
“Can you forgive me?”
“Of course, I can,” said Zhou Ziqiang, nodding silently before he stood up in front of Yan Niang, who was half-reclining on the bed, and hushed her mouth: “Don’t say such depressing things, let’s leave the past in the past.”
“Today we’re officially married, let’s be happy.”
The rain blended with thunder, lightning flashing.
Outside the window, it began to rain.
Her name was on the work badge.
“Li Peiqi.”
After watching that livestream, she had resolved never to meet with Chen Yi again in her life, but due to some special circumstances, she had no choice but to come... and no choice but to see him.
She could only resort to working part-time as an NPC in Blue Star Hell to catch a glimpse of Chen Yi.
But it seemed their first encounter wasn’t very pleasant.
Just then.
Chen Yi, already having walked back into the rain, suddenly re-entered the sweet shop, umbrella in hand, and strode straight to the cash register, glanced at the employee badge on the table, then turned his gaze to the woman in front of him and raised an eyebrow.
“You just said... there’s a grand prize, right?”
“Huh?”
Li Peiqi, deflated in her chair and pondering her next move, saw Chen Yi return and quickly recomposed herself, stood up, and explained with a fully professional smile.
“Yes, sir, I must say, you’re quite lucky.”
“This is your grand prize.”
She placed a card on the table and slid it towards Chen Yi.
Chen Yi picked up the card from the table, gave it a look, then said, “Thanks.”
After that, he said nothing more and turned back into the rainy night.
Li Peiqi, having successfully handed over the item, sighed deeply, slumped in her chair, and looked up at the ceiling in a daze: “I got freaked out by a novice player; the world really has changed.”
“Even a mouse can rape a cat now.”
But regardless, the item had been delivered; the rest was up to Chen Yi’s reaction.
Since that livestream had ended,
a storm had swept across the outside world.
Every planet would go through a 12-month novice period, during which the items, skills, and titles that could be produced were pretty much the same.
Take for instance the “Shore Flower” prop; they were aware of it.
It was indeed a powerful prop that could be obtained during the novice period.
But 300 million Shore Flowers was beyond their understanding. Was such a prop or skill ever produced during the novice period? How come they had never seen it?
...
ps: Today’s update is 4000 words.
Only today did I understand that updating every day at 23:59 doesn’t count towards that day’s word count.
I was wondering why, despite updating so much every day, I couldn’t climb up the rankings. Turns out I’ve been missing out on a day or two’s worth of word count.
The update timing will change from the original 23:59 to 00:05.
A delay of 6 minutes will allow me to get on the rankings.
I’ll save the rest of today’s update for tomorrow; it’s too much of a loss to release it today as it won’t count towards the word count.
