Chapter 89: Nico's Astonishingly Fast Face-Changing Speed

Dinner time passed quickly amidst everyone's clamor; as expected, Nico and Anbi's previously flat bellies had swelled slightly. The two good sisters sat side by side on the sofa, heads resting against the backrest, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ye Qingfeng, this is all your fault! You made me eat so much again!"

Nico placed her hand on her swollen belly; thinking she might turn round as a ball, she instantly felt like crying but had no tears to shed. She could only blame Ye Ye Qingfeng for making the food so delicious.

"It feels so uncomfortable..." Anbi likewise covered her stomach, emitting a faint whisper.

After rolling his eyes at Nico, Ye Ye Qingfeng bid them farewell and hurriedly returned to his room.

He wondered if he had been spoiling Sister Nico too much; nowadays she was getting increasingly presumptuous, unlike the well-behaved Anbi. However, now was not the time to consider such things; he was already eager to check the reward he had drawn today.

As soon as Ye Ye Qingfeng entered his room, he immediately locked the door, sat by the bed, and found four bottles of potion in his hand.

They were respectively one bottle of Ether Resistance Potion, one bottle of Ether Affinity Potion, and two bottles of Physique Enhancement Potion.

Ye Ye Qingfeng guessed that only the first time drinking the Physique Enhancement Potion would yield the greatest effect; subsequent consumptions would produce much weaker results.

Probably only about two-fifths of the initial effect, but that was already quite good.

Ye Ye Qingfeng opened them one by one and drank them down in a single gulp, then immediately burrowed under the covers awaiting the onset of drowsiness. However, after quite some time, he still stared unblinkingly at the ceiling with bloodshot eyes.

Not a trace of sleepiness; instead, he instantly felt exceptionally energetic.

His spirit was immensely vigorous, and he could clearly feel a significant increase in strength. Since he could not sleep, Ye Ye Qingfeng decisively rose, flicked his wrist, and a pistol appeared in his hand.

Ye Ye Qingfeng could clearly feel his aiming speed had improved substantially, which meant the speed of his limb movements. He threw off the blanket, slipped on his slippers, and continuously performed various high-difficulty movements within the room.

His body's flexibility had also improved; these were enhancements brought by the Billy template. Now, whatever Billy could do, he could do just as well.

Even things Billy could not do, Ye Ye Qingfeng could still accomplish.

It could be said there was hardly any place left for Billy in this household...

Then there was the Ether attribute...

Ye Ye Qingfeng could imbue bullets with Ether attributes; as for the shooting effects, that remained to be seen. As for manipulating Ether elements...

He discovered there were almost no Ether substances in the room to manipulate, meaning this ability could only exert its maximum effect within a Hollow.

Moreover, he estimated that as his Ether Affinity increased, the density of Ether elements he could manipulate would become greater.

In other words, although he appeared to be a marksman, was he actually a mage?

Overall, after this lottery draw, Ye Ye Qingfeng's combat power had increased significantly. He estimated that outside a Hollow, he might only be evenly matched with Anbi.

After all, his main offensive method consisted solely of enhanced bullets; as long as he could maintain a safe distance from Anbi, he would most likely defeat her.

But if Anbi closed in on him, he would definitely lose!

Her close-combat ability was the highest Ye Ye Qingfeng had ever encountered, roughly equivalent to one and a half Senior Qing Yis? Or even higher?

Ye Ye Qingfeng could not be entirely certain... However, if within a Hollow, his victory rate would approach one hundred percent infinitely closely.

Without worrying about Ether erosion, equipped with a real-time map of the Hollow, plus a robust physique and agile body, unless facing a top-tier assassin or large-scale bombardment, he was basically invincible within a Hollow.

After reviewing all the rewards, Ye Ye Qingfeng remembered he had to give a speech with Zhu Yuan the next morning, so he immediately picked up his pajamas, intending to go downstairs for a bath first.

This time, the plot point of someone already being in the bathroom did not occur; Ye Ye Qingfeng took a comfortable bath, hummed a little tune, and walked to Nico's room door before suddenly stopping.

"Knock, knock—!"

Ye Ye Qingfeng did not overthink it and directly knocked on the door; he had two main reasons for seeking out Nico at this hour.

The first was the bullet issue; now that he had Ding Ni, he definitely needed to stock up on bullets to prepare for unforeseen needs, and also get a sniper rifle to play with.

He currently lacked a one-shot kill method; with his firearm talent and shooting talent, plus Ether attribute enchantment, a single headshot would suffice.

Just imagining the scene was satisfying.

As for the second reason, Sister Nico was, after all, the first conquest target he had encountered; Zhu Yuan's favorability was already at 80%, while hers was only 60%, which was simply unacceptable!

Tonight, he must vigorously boost Nico's favorability.

In the past, how would he have dared to act so directly! But now things were different!

With unpaid wages added to the three promised conditions, it was enough for him to easily handle Sister Nico!

"Who is it!" Nico pushed open the door irritably; seeing Ye Ye Qingfeng standing at the entrance, she did not give him a good look either. "What do you want?"

There was one and only one reason for Nico's terrible mood: Ding Ni!

She had now owed her employees a month's wages, plus Ye Ye Qingfeng's three hundred thousand Ding Ni. Although he had said at the time to use it for emergencies, as the boss, how could she possibly take an employee's Ding Ni!

Eventually, she would have to pay it back...

Just earlier, lying in bed checking the accounts, she saw the data items turning redder and redder, causing her blood pressure to rise steadily along with them.

Nico already had a splitting headache, and then the door was suddenly knocked upon; naturally, she did not display a pleasant expression.

"What's wrong? Still worrying about Ding Ni?"

Seeing Nico's current state, Ye Ye Qingfeng teased softly.

He did not need to think twice; the only thing that could trouble Nico was Ding Ni.

"What else?" Nico said, intending to close the door. Troubling over such matters was enough for her alone. "If there's nothing else, don't disturb me."

"I have Ding Ni."

Ye Ye Qingfeng did not stop Nico from closing the door; just as the door was about to shut, he suddenly uttered those words.

The next second, Nico violently pushed the door open again, a ingratiating smile on her face; she bent down and gestured for Ye Ye Qingfeng to enter. "Young Master Ye Qingfeng, please come in!"

Seeing Nico change her face so quickly, Ye Ye Qingfeng involuntarily twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still strode in generously.

Glancing around Nico's room, Ye Ye Qingfeng nodded satisfactorily; it was much cleaner!

"How much Ding Ni do you have?"

Nico cautiously looked left and right down the corridor; confirming no one was there, she slowly closed the door, then quickly locked it, and gazed earnestly at Ye Ye Qingfeng standing in the center of the room.

"Rather, Sister Nico, how much Ding Ni do you need!"

Ye Ye Qingfeng sat unceremoniously on the edge of Nico's bed, hooked the corner of his mouth, crossed his legs, and said casually.

"At least seven hundred thousand Ding Ni..."

Nico lightly bit her lips, her pretty face flushing slightly as she spoke embarrassedly.

"Here!"

Ye Ye Qingfeng reached out, pretended to rummage in his pajama pocket, then pulled a bundle of Ding Ni from his spatial backpack; exactly seven hundred thousand Ding Ni were casually tossed toward Nico.

(Hot knowledge: Ding Ni has paper bills; they appeared in Evelyn's PV.)
