After accomplishing a big task, Chun's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed, and he couldn't resist the drowsiness any longer.

The deeper they ventured into the high-difficulty Exotic Sea Domain, the less useful Chun actually became. It was better to lie down and catch up on sleep.

"Aileen, I'm going to rest; you keep learning well from Aziza."

"Got it..."

So obedient, haha~~

After catching up on sleep until 7 in the morning, he opened his eyes to find it was still the vast ocean, with Aziza still teaching hands-on.

That's fine.

Speaking of which, my body is taken over by Aileen, and then held so closely by Aziza. How does Aileen feel about this?

Then switched to a smaller account for a glance.

Earth Lotus was carving runes on a Crystal Stone Pillar by Magma Lake. It seemed to be the one with "Earth Loosen Up."

Looking further back, there were various Crystal Stone Pillars lying around the lake in disarray.

Chun found it hard to believe. Did she really practice building to an advanced level like this? It clearly looked like an otter gnawing trees to build a dam in the river...

Alright, after all, she's a plant, let's just do it her way and not disturb her.

Fine, then. Time to go offline and have breakfast.

The essence of this game is really all about auto-farming.

...

Upon reaching the first floor, Chun really wanted to know if the announcement about him eliminating the Realm Sea God in the Devil's Sea area had been seen by the players.

A bunch of big shots were busy asking, "Brother Chun, nothing major on the island, right?"

Chun didn't really know the specifics, so he acted nonchalantly: "Just a ruin, no big deal."

"The big guy fought the Pirates, returned to the city, captured thousands of them for a parade. There was an NPC reporter who published a battle report, and a large area of houses on Plague Island got flattened..."

Holy shit! Was it him who really flattened those houses?

"Now the big guy's reputation has skyrocketed, with the Mermaid Guardian God Whale fighting for him. Imagine what happens in the future..."

"Brother Chun, will the big guy beating up the Pirates affect Bilenna's debt collection?"

Only then did Chun come to his senses. Turns out the Pirate beating is connected to Bilenna! Well, originally it wasn't, but since I brought it up and Aziza joined in, it's now linked.

But Chun didn't know how to answer this just yet. If he says it doesn't matter, the big guy could go even crazier next time. If he says it's disastrous, it could dampen the spirits of Aileen's fan club...

While he was contemplating, Great God came to the rescue: "What's there to ask? Just getting rid of some petty Pirates. The Pirate King hasn't even appeared yet. Brother Chun, take a break and go eat!"

Everyone immediately snapped back: "Exactly, it's not a big deal!"

Chun laughed, "I'm off to eat, you guys take it slow."

"Take care, Brother Chun..."

Chun didn't manage to find out what he wanted. It seemed clear that after calculating the big guy's return time, he wasn't in the Thousand Islands Sea Domain anymore, indicating that the announcement went unseen by players!

The feeling of an announcement that amounted to nothing, although it aligned with Chun's wishes, still left him with a slight sense of loss.

But oh well, since such a big event happened, he could now use the "do nothing" strategy and just drift along until after lunch to head back to the internet cafe.

...

On the top floor of the internet cafe.

After an all-nighter, Zhou Qing was applying a facial mask.

Of course, the game itself was just so-so and not worth such a beauty pulling an all-nighter, but all the sisters who hadn't seen each other for years were leveling up together, chatting and laughing, making it hard to sleep. And then there were old friends like Ma Yinglong, Brother Tao, and Brother Lang chatting on the side, reminiscent of the joyful times back in Lakefront Studio.

Then news of Sariel bombarding Plague Island and capturing thousands of Pirates made headlines.

That made it hard for everyone to chat freely. On one side, Sariel displayed extraordinary power. His intentions clearly went beyond just avenging the spread of the plague by Chun; he also seemed to aim to control NPC forces and thus control the conversion of Mining Coins.... This level of control directly conflicted with all major teams' investments worldwide.

On the other hand, the return of the Xuewei Team, centered around the Pirate-sent Bilenna, now faced an impact from the Pirate crackdown. How will this affect future developments?

Actually, this sort of thing could be directly asked of Chun, but Ma Yinglong wanted to package Chun as part of the national team, adding mystery... Although it really is fun.

Just then, the monitor alerted that Chun appeared.

Zhou Qing immediately rushed out of the bathroom to watch.

To be honest, Zhou Qing couldn't quite describe the feeling now, perhaps like when a child refuses to miss a single second of their favorite TV series' opening.

Chun was chatting with net friends, and Zhou Qing carefully observed the changes in Chun's expressions, as if scrutinizing the changes in expression of a cheating husband.

The questions posed by net friends were indeed topics that concerned herself and even the Ma Yinglong team. Zhou Qing keenly noticed his hesitation and feigned ease.

Looks like...

But this makes it interesting. Isn't he a top student? How would a top student respond?

Perhaps checking the rankings at 0:00 tonight will reveal the answer.

At this moment, the chat group blew up!

"Congratulations Qiqi, the first to become Dancing Girl!"

The chat group was buzzing: "We didn't even hit the fan value yet, how did Qiqi do it?"

Qiqi was elated: "Who told me I'm a professional dancer? As long as I can imitate the moves she's done a few times, she'll recognize me as a disciple!"

The sisters were truly indignant: "Being a professional dancer is indeed something, keeping in shape, and not getting tired playing games."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little jealous too: "Qiqi, can you still do a split?"

Qiqi laughed more confidently: "Qingqing, don't underestimate me, I'm a gym owner! Would I lose touch with such basics as a split?"

The sisters exclaimed, "A woman who can do a split, no man can resist!"

Qiqi proudly laughed: "I'm not interested! I'm not working out to please men, I'm doing it to please myself!"

"You don't like the rich, you don't like the poor, what do you like then?"

Qiqi sighed: "I'm no longer that shallow woman obsessed with idols. A man should at least have manly valor, at least an eight-pack, which is why I opened a gym."

"Oh, got it! Qiqi wants someone with both muscles and money and a sense of style."

Zhou Qing asked with a smile, "Qiqi, you have quite a few trainers at your gym, haven't you made any move on them?"

Qiqi got anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm a proper owner..."

The sisters laughed loudly: "Right, Qiqi is very proper..."

"She's getting anxious! She's getting anxious!"

Qiqi immediately hit back at the instigator: "I say, Qingqing, Chun is in your internet cafe, aren't you gonna make a move?"

The sisters laughed heartily: "Right, an engineer of great standing, ranked 11th globally, Qingqing, go for it!"

Zhou Qing also got anxious: "Don't talk nonsense..."

Qiqi laughed, "I'm not talking nonsense, Qingqing, think about it, even if you know 100 successful bosses, isn't there one of them who can fix a network cable, who is ranked 11th globally? What use are they?"

Though realizing the sisters were teasing again, for a moment, Zhou Qing really felt a slight touch in her heart...
