Chapter 26: Conversation with the System and Second Draw

Ye Qingfeng was thinking about what the system said all the way, and didn't notice until Nico parked the car. He followed the three behind him in a daze, and returned to his room the first time he entered the house.

"Qingfeng seems to have something on his mind."

Anbi looked at Ye Qingfeng's back going upstairs and said in a flat tone.

"Indeed, don't worry! Qingfeng is still quite strong." Billy looked at the time and ran upstairs in a hurry, muttering something about Star Emblem Knight.

Nico walked to the sofa and sat down a bit silently, crossing her arms and wondering what she was thinking.

"Bang——"

Ye Qingfeng closed the room door casually and didn't forget to lock it, walked to the bed, and fell directly onto it.

'System——!'

【I already said I can't say it! Can you stop looking for trouble!】

The system complained in an extremely impatient tone.

Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng closed his eyes and lay silently on the bed.

【Eh... host, if you have anything else you want to ask, ask quickly, then wash up and go to sleep.】

Clearly using a young girl's childish voice, but it was an elder's tone.

'What is your purpose.'

【For the peace and future of New Eridu.】

'Do you have a name?'

【You can call me Xiao Zhi.】

What a fake name...

'Then is Xiao Zhi not me?'

【That's right, the host is a variable...】

'What do you mean?'

【Alright, don't push your luck, wash up and go to sleep, ha——ha~】

Ye Qingfeng listened to Xiao Zhi yawn and then quiet down.

Forget it... just like the system said, don't think so much...

'Sys——tem~'

【What now...】

'Draw twice!'

【Beep! Drawing...】

【Congratulations to the host for drawing the following rewards:】

【S-level reward: Animal Charm Body (only 50% effect on Therians, and needs to be able to control opening or closing in a large range, or can be opened for a specific individual alone)

Note: Needless to say, Furry fans are ecstatic!】

【A-level reward: Firearm Skill (Proficient)

Note: One step away from a sharpshooter, firearms will be exactly as you wish in your hands!】

Ye Qingfeng was a bit stunned looking at the drawn rewards. It wasn't because of the S-level Animal Charm Body, but the A-level reward, Firearm Skill?

I finally have combat ability! What could be more important than this!

After witnessing the danger level of the Hollow, having self-protection ability is what he values most now. As for the other rewards, he didn't think they were as important as the firearm skill.

Ye Qingfeng jumped off the bed with a carp jump, opened the room door, and ran out. He knocked hard on Nico's door, and seeing no response, ran downstairs in a hurry.

He looked around the living room and still didn't see Nico's figure. He scratched his head helplessly.

Where did Boss Nico go! Geez... can't find anyone at a critical moment, forget it...

Billy should also have the contact information of weapon dealers... Go to the bathroom and then go find Billy.

He now sees that the company he joined, the Cunning Hares, most of the employers' commissions are related to the Hollow, which is grave robbing.

As for the general meaning of grave robbers: people who actively enter the Hollow without the permission of the Hollow Investigation Association. Because they haven't obtained official permission, grave robbers cannot obtain permission and resources to return from the Hollow, and usually need to rely on the help of Proxies to obtain various support for actions in the Hollow.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Qingfeng found that he still had to have a good relationship with Wise and Ling. Find time to contact them and build feelings.

Ye Qingfeng didn't think more and pushed open the bathroom door. The next second, he stood there in a daze uncontrollably, as if there was something inside that firmly attracted his gaze.

He suddenly felt dry in his mouth and subconsciously swallowed.

So big! So white! It's a pity that this back can't be cupped...

By the way, is this something a child can watch? Fortunately, I am already an adult and can watch!

Nico, who had just finished taking a shower and was about to put on a nightdress, hadn't noticed the door was wide open because she was facing away from the bathroom door. Ye Qingfeng controlled his stiff body and took a step back, intending to close the room door quietly.

"Hiss—— a bit cold! Why is there a cold wind?"

Nico put on her nightdress and felt a breeze behind her. Her body shook and she turned to look at the door.

Ye Qingfeng saw Nico turning her head and was startled. Fortunately, the bathroom door was basically closed, leaving only a crack. He let out a sigh of relief.

This is safe... if Boss Nico knew, she would really beat him to death!

Ye Qingfeng walked away on tiptoe like a thief. The bathroom door behind him was slowly opened by Nico, who looked at his fleeing back with a fierce gaze.

"Qing——feng!" Nico called out to Ye Qingfeng with a fake smile. "Where are you going?"

"Ni... Boss Nico, what a coincidence..." Ye Qingfeng swallowed hard and turned his head slowly, putting on a smile that was uglier than crying. "You haven't slept yet..."

"Yeah—— I haven't slept yet!" Nico walked up to Ye Qingfeng with a very kind smile. "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"Don't hit my face!"

A moment later, Ye Qingfeng, with a bruised and swollen face, looked at the ceiling with dull eyes. Nico sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking like her anger had almost subsided.

Fortunately, after being together for so long, she knew Ye Qingfeng's character, and her hands weren't too heavy, which meant every punch used her full strength.

"Alright, stop playing dead." Nico brushed her hair and remembered that she was in a hurry to get out of the bathroom just now, and the clothes she changed hadn't been thrown into the washing machine. She pouted and shouted unhappily: "Go to the bathroom and throw my clothes into the washing machine. If you don't come out in 30 seconds, hum hum!"

"It won't just be fists!"

Ye Qingfeng struggled to climb up and was just about to resist when he heard Nico had already started counting down. He hurriedly rushed into the bathroom and ran to the laundry basket. Inside were the clothes Nico changed, and a black piece of clothing with lace edges was placed on the very top.

He listened to the countdown in the living room without hesitation, directly picked up the laundry basket, poured it all into the washing machine, pressed the start button, and ran out of the bathroom to Nico in the last few seconds.

"Humph! You're quite fast." Nico looked at the obedient Ye Qingfeng in front of her with slanted eyes and silently put down her briefcase. "Tell me, what are you looking for me for?"

"Boss Nico, look, I'm so dangerous entering the Hollow this time, I don't even have a weapon for self-defense, look...?"

Ye Qingfeng squatted beside Nico and put his hands on her legs with flattery. Don't misunderstand, he was just massaging. He learned it from the big brother in prison, and now his technique is enough to open a massage shop.

"Hiss—— ah~"

Nico silently put down her briefcase again, leaning lazily on the sofa and enjoying Ye Qingfeng's massage service. As time passed, her face gradually flushed, and she couldn't help but let out a coquettish cry.

【Beep! Nico favorability increased 5%, current favorability: 50%】 ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
