Chapter 15: Personal Panel

Ding! Nico's favorability increased by 10%; current favorability: 40%. Reward: two lottery draws!

"Ah, great!" Nico exclaimed in delight, snatching the card from the table, squeezing in to sit beside Ye Ye Qingfeng, and shoving a bun into his hand with a ingratiating expression, "Here, here! Eat more, don't starve yourself!"

"Boss Nico, you're squeezing me!"

Anbi, sitting nearby with grease dripping from her mouth, complained while holding a half-eaten bun.

"Sister Nico, you'd better eat quickly, or Anbi will finish it all," Ye Ye Qingfeng said with a laugh, unable to hold back his amusement at Nico's instant change of expression, adding jokingly, "Remember to pay my salary!"

Nico first glared at Anbi, then repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, don't worry! As long as I have a bite of meat, you'll have a sip of soup!"

After the meal, in high spirits, Nico waved her hand generously, awarding Anbi and Ye Ye Qingfeng each a bonus of ten thousand Ding Ni.

However, Ye Ye Qingfeng received an extra twenty thousand Ding Ni, totaling a huge sum of thirty thousand Ding Ni.

Calling it a bonus seemed more like hush money, with the target being none other than Billy, who wasn't present...

In the afternoon, Ye Ye Qingfeng and Anbi went to see a movie together; afterward, she planned to buy two hamburgers at a fast-food restaurant to reward herself.

Of course, she invited Ye Ye Qingfeng, but he declined.

This outing with Anbi... let's call it a date; he gained another 5% favorability!

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt Anbi's favorability was increasing a bit too slowly?

After parting ways with Anbi, Ye Ye Qingfeng went alone to the shopping mall, intending to purchase some items that might be useful, storing them in his spatial backpack for emergencies.

This caused the Ding Ni he had just received to vanish before it even warmed his pockets; with the remainder, he simply bought a few vegetables at the market, but he could still claim reimbursement from Sister Nico and pocket the difference, a thought that instantly lifted his spirits again.

Actually, he used to value money highly, but that was before he went in; during those three years inside, he had no concept of money whatsoever.

Consequently, his desire for money was not particularly strong.

That night, Ye Ye Qingfeng successfully got his Ding Ni reimbursed, cooked a simple dinner, and Billy, who had been missing for quite some time, finally showed up during mealtime.

Thus ended an ordinary day.

Although Ye Ye Qingfeng had subsidized Nico with 300,000 Ding Ni, she understood this could only solve immediate problems, so the next day she began frantically searching for commissions.

After over a week of resolving some trivial minor commissions, fortunately, heaven rewards the diligent; she received a commission to return lost property, the target being the Red Fang Gang, who had recently attacked a research institute and stolen a safe.

After discussion among the Cunning Hares, it was decided that Ye Ye Qingfeng would be responsible for driving and transport, while the remaining three would handle the main content of this mission.

Just as everyone settled into the car and prepared to depart, Nico suddenly remembered Ye Ye Qingfeng might not have a driver's license, though whether he had one or not wasn't actually that important.

Upon asking, it turned out he couldn't drive at all; Nico had no choice but to switch seats with Ye Ye Qingfeng, and before setting off, she didn't forget to warn him in a fierce tone to go get his license soon.

Throughout the journey, Nico drove very fast and very erratically...

This left Ye Ye Qingfeng, sitting in the passenger seat, pale-faced; for someone prone to carsickness, this was truly unfriendly.

Before Nico stepped on the accelerator, Ye Ye Qingfeng thought he could just endure it, but now he had only one thought: let him get out of the car!!!

"Nico... Sister, let me out..."

"What did you say?!"

Ye Ye Qingfeng's voice was too weak due to his frailty, and since he had rolled down the window beside him, the wind noise even drowned out his words, causing Nico not to hear clearly.

Precisely because of this momentary distraction, a cat suddenly ran in front of the car; Nico hastily slammed the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding the crisis.

The car stopped by the roadside after making a wide turn; Nico panted heavily, hands propped on the steering wheel, and if one looked closely, her arms could be seen trembling slightly.

"Ye Qingfeng, what did you say just now?" Nico forced a smile, turning to look at Ye Ye Qingfeng in the passenger seat, "Hm? Where's the person?!"

The car door had been opened at some point; looking forward, she saw Ye Ye Qingfeng's back as he hugged a trash can in front of him, retching continuously, while Anbi squatted beside him, gently patting his back.

"Brother Ye Qingfeng, are you okay!"

After spending this time together, Billy had become familiar with Ye Ye Qingfeng, and his favorability had also reached 40%!

By the way, Nico's favorability had reached 45, Anbi's had reached 35, and the weekend date originally planned with Zhu Yuan had fallen through due to her overtime work, though the two usually chatted on their phones before bed.

Zhu Yuan's favorability remained stuck at 50%...

As for the four new lottery opportunities he had obtained, all yielded A-rank rewards: a personal attribute panel and a 20% increase in Ether Adaptability, while the remaining two were Ding Ni, totaling one million!

Ever since transmigrating, Ye Ye Qingfeng discovered his luck had improved significantly; none of his six lottery draws had been below A-rank, although when he later asked the system about the draw probabilities, it explained that B-rank was 65%, A-rank 33%, and S-rank only 2%.

"Much... much better..."

After vomiting up all the food he had eaten that day, Ye Ye Qingfeng finally felt a bit better; he casually reached into his pocket, took out a tissue, and wiped his mouth.

Just before departure, Ye Ye Qingfeng hadn't known he would be the one driving; yes, the three of them had specifically discussed and decided this to take care of him.

Before getting in the car, Nico had even forcibly dragged Ye Ye Qingfeng into the driver's seat; she was truly too kind...

After everyone got back into the car, Nico didn't brake suddenly or anything this time, allowing Ye Ye Qingfeng to arrive safely and steadily at their destination, Fourteenth Street.

Immediately after, Nico told him to watch the car and, full of confidence, set off with Anbi and Billy.

In Ye Ye Qingfeng's view, the task Nico assigned was merely taking care of a newcomer; the most critical point was that she hadn't even told him what the mission was, using such an excuse to brush him off—as if the car could grow legs and run away on its own?

"Stay here obediently and don't wander off."

To this, Ye Ye Qingfeng remarked that with such a good opportunity to slack off, he wouldn't foolishly stand by the car waiting; after patting the hood and giving a brief instruction, he strolled down the street with light steps.

After wandering the street for a while, only ten-plus minutes had passed; he had no choice but to find a fast-food restaurant, order two hamburgers, find a seat where he could see the car through the window, sit down, and chat via message with Zhu Yuan.

After chatting for ten-plus minutes, Zhu Yuan got busy with work; the two hamburgers he had bought initially were long finished, leaving him with nothing to do but lie idly on the table.
