Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 119 - 118 Boys Love Playing with _2

Everything was progressing in an orderly fashion.

Yuzhou officials, after assigning specialists to verify the effects of the Evergreen Liquid, paid great attention to its potential and offered many favorable policies. They also transferred professors and a group of postgraduate students from a local university to work on projects and help them develop various promotion plans.

Now, Shao Shuangshuang was able to discuss matters with "important people," yet she wasn't overwhelmed by all this; she was acutely aware of who she owed for everything.

Toward Jiang Ning, she kept her usual level of importance, and no matter how busy she got, she never neglected Jiang Ning.

Having interacted with him over a period of time, she actually found Jiang Ning somewhat unbelievable and had even suspected that he had produced the Evergreen Liquid himself, but she never delved into it.

This included the materials Jiang Ning asked her to procure; she didn't ask questions and silently handled the tasks.

A few days ago, there appeared to be a strange phenomenon at Hu Qi Mountain in Yuzhou. To tell the truth, she had thought of Jiang Ning, because during that time, she had just given him the keys to the villa, and he had asked her to buy a lot of unusual materials.

But what of it?

From the moment she accepted the Evergreen Liquid, her fate had been tied to Jiang Ning's—for better or for worse.

Shao Shuangshuang had experienced too much of the suffering at the bottom and the struggles of striving. Now with such status and identity, what more could she ask for?

Even if Jiang Ning did something more extreme, she would do everything in her power to cover for him.

As the Changqing Liquid Group developed, it might very well become one of the top 500 global enterprises in the future, providing job opportunities to countless people and becoming a major taxpayer locally. She had this capability.

However, the strange phenomenon at Hu Qi Mountain only caused a minor stir online, making it into a trending search. News about such phenomena appeared online countless times without ever being verified as true, and it soon dissipated.

Trending searches happen every day; for netizens, these phenomena are not as interesting as celebrity gossip.

Instead, the Yuzhou authorities sent a few staff members to Hu Qi Mountain, but they couldn't find anything.

...

The night was cold.

In the rental housing area outside Fourth Middle School, two residential buildings stood not far apart.

After washing his face, Miao Zhe sat down at his desk to study, but the way he occasionally grabbed his phone betrayed his restlessness.

Suddenly, the phone rang with the "Dong Ding Ding Da Ding Dong" sound—QQ's special care alert.

Miao Zhe picked up the phone as fast as lightning, seeing a message from a female avatar. He had set QQ messages to be invisible on the lock screen, so he could only see the alert.

He quickly unlocked it and saw the message:

"Yun Shu, I've just finished school."

Miao Zhe disliked his own name, so he used a different name online, Miao Yunshu.

"Hmm, I've also just finished school. Are you cold, Yun Ni?" Miao Zhe greeted.

His message bubble and font were very cool. To achieve this effect, Miao Zhe specifically subscribed to QQ's SVIP, showcasing his internet identity.

This girl, "Yun Ni," was someone he had met in a QQ group. They hit it off immediately, as if they had endless topics to talk about, chatting until late into the night. She was truly a soulmate.

Miao Zhe was not content with just being a soulmate, so some time ago, during a late-night chat, he confessed to Yun Ni, and she shyly accepted. The two naturally became a couple and embarked on an online relationship.

The world was too cold; Miao Zhe was surrounded by several "golden flowers" in class and received only disdain. But on the internet, there was a cute girl waiting for him, and he felt the world's tenderness.

Though he had never seen Yun Ni's face, he had heard her voice—a very sweet voice. A girl with such a voice must be pretty.

"It's so cold today, and it's Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas Eve." Yun Ni sent another message with a picture of several apple gift boxes.

Miao Zhe was a bit jealous: "Are these from boys?"

"My good sisters sent them. Did you receive any apples today, Yun Shu?" she asked.

Miao Zhe hadn't, but he had taken pictures of a classmate's apple gift boxes earlier. He had three pictures, totaling more than a dozen gift boxes. Miao Zhe took the opportunity to send them to her:

"Good brothers sent them."

"Wow, you're so popular, way more than the number of gift boxes I received." Yun Ni sincerely admired.

Receiving praise, Miao Zhe felt comfortable all over: "I'm just average. Being popular isn't my intention. I prefer being alone."

"Yes, I also like being alone, thinking by myself," Yun Ni replied.

So, the two of them started a conversation and chatted until past one o'clock, when they each bid each other good night.

Miao Zhe stared at the chat screen, scrolling through their conversation history. He fantasized about Yun Ni's expressions as she sent those messages. An involuntary sweet smile crept onto his face. How wonderful.

He really wanted to meet her, to see what she looked like in real life.

Miao Zhe noticed that Yun Ni's QQ nickname was no longer as shiny as before; it had become ordinary. It turned out that her SVIP had expired.

How could Miao Zhe bear to see her so plain?

Consequently, Miao Zhe spent sixty yuan to buy her three months of SVIP.

"She'll be so happy when she wakes up tomorrow, right?"

As Miao Zhe thought this, he clicked into Yun Ni's QQ Zone and then into her message board. It was like surveying his territory, flipping through the girl's message board. Good, there were no messages from other guys.

Miao Zhe typed a line: "I may be too late for your past, but I'll be there for your future to the very end."

He looked at his own shining gold words, and the smile on his face twisted further; he was a proud Yellow Diamond member.

...

In another building not far away, Ma Shicheng gripped his phone, looking exhilarated.

"I'm about to break the record!"

His overnight dedication was not in vain; he was soon going to be number one on the list!

With Ma Shicheng's frantic gameplay, the character in the game kept moving forward.

At the final score tally screen, his score ballooned, and Ma Shicheng was overwhelmingly excited.

Now, he was in first place!

Ma Shicheng hurriedly took a screenshot and sent it to Guo Kunnan, Dan Kaiquan, and others via QQ.

After sending, as Ma Shicheng looked at his own name at the top of the leaderboard, he strangely felt a sense of emptiness as if a warrior with no more foes to challenge.

He had no more rivals.

How lonely is it to be invincible?

Guo Kunnan, Dan Kaiquan, and the others were probably asleep; no one responded, no one witnessed his glory.

At that moment, a friend request popped up on QQ.

It was a pretty female avatar.

Ma Shicheng accepted the friend request and then clicked into that person's QQ Zone, which was very desolate with just two posts, and an empty message board.

"I'm Xinxin," the female account sent a message.

"Handsome, if you're lonely at night, you can look for me to play (cute)."

Ma Shicheng: "Play what?"

Female account: "Silly boy, of course the things you boys like to play (shy)."

What did he like to play?

Ma Shicheng thought of his incredibly high score and immediately replied:

"Tiantian Kupao."

"Are you on Android or iOS, and what's your score?"

Female account: "Stupid loser, moron, get lost."

Just as Ma Shicheng was about to reply, the friend had been deleted.
