Chapter 469: The Kitchen Fire Wasn't Turned Off

…

…

Game time ended…

Su Sheng logged off and took off his helmet.

During the last hour and a bit of game time, Su Sheng didn't act, but made some preparations.

In addition to leaving part of the Assassin Guild to guard against the Gentleman Rogue Combination's assassination, Su Sheng summoned Chen Guan, half of the Ten Court Yanluo, and Shen Yang's own Shadow Wing.

He handed two Green Snake Venom skill books to the Ten Court Yanluo who had switched to assassin class, letting them distribute them themselves, and Su Sheng also made a series of arrangements.

…Targeting the Gentleman Rogue Combination!

The final hour and a bit of game time was just enough to complete the preparations.

Now just waiting to log in tomorrow, the layout against the Gentleman Rogue Combination can be executed.

Su Sheng intends this time to completely eliminate those two Gentleman Rogue guys.

Otherwise they'd stick like taffy, which is annoying!

At the same time, Su Sheng casually combined Dao Yun Ring 09, and, as expected, it wasn't surprising: the level reached 55, still orange epic quality, with a slight attribute boost.

Dao Yun Ring. Broken (9/49) (orange).

Magic Defense: 350

Bonus: Combination

Bonus: 2400 HP

Bonus: 200 Strength

Bonus: 200 Constitution

Level: 55

Description: omitted

This is the ring after enhancement.

Magic defense increased by 50 points, from 300 to 350, but for Su Sheng this is a marginal attribute.

Strength also rose from 150 to 200, likewise a marginal attribute.

Useful for Su Sheng, HP bonus rose from 2000 to 2400, Constitution bonus from 150 to 200.

Su Sheng's stats also jumped, attack/defense reached 3707/3307, HP reached 32620/31220.

Bare stats without any buffs are already extreme.

Many ordinary players need a Priest's buffs just to barely reach these stats.

…

But Su Sheng is still not satisfied; during the earlier clash with the Imperial Dynasty, Su Sheng felt that his equipment, though still high-quality,

it already looks somewhat… caught up. Against ordinary players, Su Sheng can still crush them, but against elite guild members, after buffs, he can no longer achieve absolute domination.

Su Sheng contemplated his gear; a level‑50 Three-colored Divine Artifact weapon is far ahead.

A level‑50 purple Shield is also top‑tier equipment.

However… the level‑45 purple armor, still forged by Kaker, although its stats are top‑notch now, leaves Su Sheng somewhat dissatisfied; in an optimal state he could equip a level‑60 one, and even though Divine Craftsman Stone is scarce, he at least needs a level‑55 one.

A similar level‑45 purple helmet, although newly swapped, still doesn't satisfy Su Sheng.

As for the level‑40 purple bracers, level‑40 purple greaves, and level‑40 purple shoes, need not mention; Su Sheng feels they should have been replaced long ago.

If other players saw this whole set, they'd probably think Su Sheng is Versailles…

Su Sheng feels the armor basically needs replacement; the accessories are fairly satisfactory, except the hanging Magic Wolf Ear, which leans toward magic and feels a bit forced for him.

Also the Phoenix Flame Earring… can't be swapped; the pseudo‑Nirvana is still pretty good.

After all, to maintain absolute advantage, every aspect must stay ahead…

Click~

Just as Su Sheng was pondering his gear, the room door suddenly opened.

Su Sheng didn't need to think; he knew… it was Huan Jie…

Since he locked the door, the only one who could open it… was Huan Jie.

Sure enough, Su Sheng looked up and saw Huan Jie stride in with long legs.

Lin Huan saw Su Sheng sitting on the bed, dazed, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes…

"Ah Sheng, the public account received another five million…"

Lin Huan's crimson lips slightly opened.

"Hmm, the Universal Deputy President, Li Xiao's…," Su Sheng explained, indicating it was a commission from Li Xiao.

Yesterday Li Wenwan came by and said that Li Xiao asked Su Sheng and herself to help with a Dungeon; it was only after logging in that Li Xiao offered five million.

After finishing the Dungeon, they ran into the Gentleman Rogue Combination, which messed up the whole thing, so Su Sheng hadn't had time to tell Huan Jie.

"Impressive…," Lin Huan couldn't help but praise.

It hasn't been long; they earned thirty million yesterday, and now another five million.

Is this making money?

Even robbery doesn't happen this fast…

Hmm…

Yesterday's thirty million does seem like it was robbed, but the robbery was justified, since the Imperial Dynasty went and caused trouble first…

Later, Lin Huan thought of the coalition of heroes.

After working hard leading Huakui Studio for so long, how much money did they actually earn?

Result… How long has Chasing the Deer just opened service…

Upon thinking that, Lin Huan's gaze toward Su Sheng practically glowed.

Tsk!

As expected of my chosen childhood husband, you're impressive!

"Cough cough..." Su Sheng, facing Lin Huan's scorching gaze, couldn't bear it and couldn't help but lightly cough twice.

Lin Huan came to, smiled, and sat right next to Su Sheng: "Ah Sheng, you say, am I, Huan Jie, really useless?"

Huh!

As Lin Huan sat down, her black silk long legs happened to brush against Su Sheng's hand, intentionally or not.

Su Sheng, who had been somewhat absent-minded, couldn't help but be startled by Lin Huan's words: "Huan Jie, what do you mean by that?"

"Look, you came to Chasing the Deer, and in such a short time you've already conquered such a vast Yanhuang."

"And me, Huan Jie? I'm still a 985 top graduate, struggling desperately among the heroes, yet I'm only a tiny studio; if it weren't for Wanwan's connection that hooked into the universe, I'd be even worse..."

Lin Huan said sincerely.

"Huan Jie..."

Su Sheng turned around, placed both hands on Lin Huan's shoulders: "No, you've done really well?"

"It's also precisely because Huan Jie has you that I can serve the military with peace of mind."

"Moreover, Yanhuang isn't solely my achievement; without you, Huan Jie, managing Yanhuang, I couldn't have reached this point alone."

These are Su Sheng's sincere words; in Yanhuang he is at most a spiritual leader, while everything else is worried over by Huan Jie.

As for the former heroes... Is Lin Huan weak?

Not really...

It's just that Lin Huan entered the heroes too late, missed the initial boom; being able to save up a foundation is already not easy.

Thinking about these years, the family relied entirely on Huan Jie; inevitably, Su Sheng's heart couldn't help but feel some pity.

"Huan Jie, you've worked hard."

Su Sheng gently embraced Lin Huan in his arms, his eyes holding no flirtation, only pity…

And Lin Huan rested her head on Su Sheng's shoulder, her whole body relaxing.

"Huanhuan, Ah Sheng…"

Just then, the door was suddenly opened again, and Su's mother Huang Hui poked her head out…

Swish~

Su Sheng and Lin Huan, as if shocked by electricity, hastily separated.

"Cough cough… Oh no, the kitchen fire isn't off yet… Keep going, keep going…"

Clap~

Huang Hui pulled the door and shut it directly…

…
