Chapter 243

Amidst Ye Qingfeng's calls, Miss Kelin opened her hazy eyes, subconsciously smacked her lips, and said in a milky voice:

"Umm... what's wrong..."

"Lycaon said he doesn't want you anymore and wants me to take you back."

"What?!" Kelin sprang up. "Please don't abandon Kelin! Sob sob sob, Mr. Lycaon!"

Miss Kelin looked around in a panic, as if searching for a figure.

Mr. Lycaon >︿<

How could Lycaon be in the room? There was only Watching Ailian leaning against the door and Eous standing on the generator.

And Ye Qingfeng, who had been observing her reaction the whole time with a wicked smile.

Anyone with eyes could see this was a joke, but Miss Kelin didn't think so.

She didn't believe Lycaon would say such things, nor did she believe Ye Qingfeng would lie.

The left and right sides of her brain fought, leaving Miss Kelin dizzy and unable to figure out the current situation.

"Lord Qingfeng..." Miss Kelin looked at Ye Qingfeng and asked tremblingly: "Did Mr. Lycaon really say that?"

Ye Qingfeng didn't expect Miss Kelin to take it seriously, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Should he say she was too innocent, or that she trusted him too much?

Would anyone really be willing to give away such a little cutie?

Ye Qingfeng considered whether to play along and take this opportunity to kidnap Miss Kelin!

On second thought, he remembered that Lycaon wasn't a docile dog-therian; he had the bloodline of a ferocious wolf-therian flowing through him.

This thought vanished instantly.

"I'm lying to you, Lycaon didn't say that, don't worry."

"Phew~ That's good!"

Miss Kelin let out a long sigh of relief and patted her youthful chest.

She believed him instantly again...

Ye Qingfeng suspected that if he did it again, Miss Kelin would still choose to believe him, unable to realize where the problem lay.

"Oh, right!"

Miss Kelin bowed to Ye Qingfeng repeatedly. "Miss Kelin accidentally fell asleep on Lord Qingfeng's shoulder, I'm so sorry, that was too rude!"

"It doesn't matter, I didn't lose anything, and I'm quite happy that Miss Kelin could lean on me." Ye Qingfeng said frankly.

"Umm! It was clearly Lord Qingfeng who forced..."

Miss Kelin pouted awkwardly, then paused. "Regardless, Lord Qingfeng's shoulder was very comfortable to lean on, it let me rest for a while, and now I feel full of energy!"

【Ding! Miss Kelin's favorability increased by 5%】

【Current favorability: 60%】

【Reward: 5 gacha attempts, for a total of 42 gacha attempts】

Listening to the system broadcast in his head, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Ye Qingfeng.

Without realizing it, he had saved up so many draws; this wave was a victory for the hoarders!

42 draws looked so awkward, let's do two draws to round it off!

"System, draw twice!"

【Ding! Drawing twice now】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following rewards...】

【B-level reward: 100,000 Dennies * 2】

【Ding! Host has a total of 400,000 Dennies】

"..."

Why treat a hoarder like this!

Just as Ye Qingfeng finished drawing, Eous in the distance stopped its actions simultaneously.

"Phew... the generator preparation work is finally finished."

Miss Kelin sighed.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work." Wise said. "Ling, let's hurry up and contact the control room."

"Understood!"

Ling used the HDD system to successfully contact Lycaon.

"Proxy, you've finally sent a contact. I wonder if the trip to the power room went smoothly?"

"Don't worry, it's all done!"

Ling was contacting Lycaon privately, and Ye Qingfeng couldn't hear the voice on the other end; thinking about meeting Uncle Wolf in a while, he felt a bit uneasy.

He was afraid that Miss Kelin would let something slip and tell Lycaon about Uncle Wolf and the kidnapping.

Even so, Ye Qingfeng didn't intend to specifically remind Miss Kelin not to let anything slip.

The former was no big deal, and the latter was just something he said, he didn't actually go through with it, so Lycaon wouldn't say much even if he knew.

At most, he would warn Miss Kelin to stay away from him or something.

Besides, Miss Kelin's favorability toward him had reached 60%, and with her easily fooled personality, he wasn't worried at all that she would do something like ignoring him.

After a while, Ling hung up the communication with Lycaon. "Let's go, let's go to the atrium to meet up with Lycaon and the others, and then go to Block B together."

The group followed Eous to the atrium and saw Lycaon and Rina, who had arrived earlier.

"Yo! Uncle Wolf!"

Watching Ailian raised her hand and said.

Lycaon's welcoming smile froze instantly, and he widened his eyes in disbelief.

Uncle Wolf? Him?!

Lycaon looked at Watching Ailian, and seeing her look of unconcern, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward Ye Qingfeng.

After a brief thought, he confirmed that the culprit was Ye Qingfeng, and he was absolutely certain of this thought in his heart.

Lycaon glanced at Ye Qingfeng, didn't say much, and raised his hand to press the switch for the iron gate.

It was just a form of address, insignificant.

Moreover, he felt that a title like "Uncle Wolf" was quite interesting; no one had ever called him that before.

As the iron gate slowly rose, the scenery behind the door came into view.

"The door is open! That's great," Miss Kelin cheered.

"Thanks to the guide, we were able to restore power so quickly." Rina leaned down and rubbed Eous's head. "Our master will definitely thank you."

"No need to thank me!" Ling smiled casually.

The group continued to advance deeper, and just as they stepped onto a flight of stairs, a suspicious item appeared on the floor.

"What is that?"

Eous ran over quickly; it was a small yellow bag, which it held up in the air to observe.

"Ah... this is..."

"Proxy, do you recognize this backpack?" Lycaon asked.

"It can't be wrong, this is Rein's! It seems she really has been to the building!" Ling said firmly, unzipping it as she spoke and rummaging through the backpack. "There might be some clues in the bag!"

"Hmm?"

Eous pulled out a player, saw the countdown on it reach zero, threw it far away immediately, and lay on the ground without moving.

Lycaon, who was closest, squatted down with quick eyes and fast hands, raising his arm to protect Eous.

(Tsk! The more the author writes, the more I feel that among the main characters in Zenless Zone Zero, except for Ling, Watching Ailian, Zhu Yuan, and Caesar, most other characters have no possibility of falling in love; single heroine or characters outside the main storyline are more suitable.

Plus the ambiguity of the main plot and a bunch of foreshadowing, the plot can't be messed with, it's so hard...)

The countdown on the player reached zero, but there was no explosion; instead, soothing music played.

"It's just a player." Eous stepped forward quickly, picked up the player, checked it repeatedly, confirmed there was no danger, and shook it in the air facing the crowd.

"It seems the timer function was activated, there's no dang... hmm?"

Before Ling finished speaking, a sharp object stepped on the handrail, making a crisp sound.

She was completely unaware of the situation behind her, as a palm shimmering with silver light lunged toward Eous.
