Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Chen Yi broke out in a cold sweat at once.

Liu Xinyu was no match for Little Sister; their levels of Taoism differed by over a thousand years.

His eyes quickly swept around; fortunately, his movements were clean, and with Little Sister nearby, there had been no inhuman actions. As the danger passed, his tense muscles relaxed, and he turned to look teasingly at the beautiful Investigator from the Tax Bureau, smiling as he said, "Your workload is truly not small; working so late?"

Chen Rongxi stuck out her tongue and left the room silently.

Liu Xinyu wore a light purple small vest, her upper body filled out fully, swaying as she said, "I didn't expect it; at least your talent for playing games is not bad."

Actually, what she thought was not the two words "not bad."

Although Magic Knight was a game, the difficulty of operation could keep rising; those who could reach 300 operations per minute at the top level were few and far between. Even she herself seemed unable to maintain this level for long—although she had not received special training in this regard.

In the silence, Chen Yi asked strangely, "You play Magic Knight too?"

"I'm also a young person, just started school earlier." Liu Xinyu deliberately drew closer to him, her tone sweet and soft, inspiring endless daydreams.

The secret of the Scroll was like a stone weighing on Chen Yi's heart, preventing him from relaxing without limit. Otherwise, he should have focused all his spirit on the beauty like a normal person, rather than having to consider again and again as he did now.

With no contraband around, Chen Yi felt less uneasy, and not wanting to waste such good Scroll time, he had to give up the beauty and said, "You're here to find my parents, right? As for the family business, I don't understand anything."

The intent to send off the guest was obvious.

However, Liu Xinyu's curiosity was aroused, not at all inferior to feline animals, even though she smiled like a fox from a Strange Tales version: "Lady Fang invited me to attend the small charity banquet tonight."

When she said this, she was unusually proud.

A vigorous youth, still wanting to refuse me? Liu Xinyu thought to herself: unless I reject you, you must obediently follow my will.

Her smile grew even greater, and she said with a light laugh, "Keep playing your game."

For a moment, charm was unmatched.

Chen Mu held a small, intimate banquet at home every ten days or half a month; the invited personnel were often more flexible and more important than those at grand banquets. This was her main work, and also an important part of the Chen Group maintaining its business; often, Chen Father and even other relatives of the family would attend to liven things up.

With Liu Xinyu's identity as an Investigator, being invited to such a small banquet seemed insufficient.

So it seemed her background was not simple.

Chen Yi thought of many things in an instant, smiled stiffly, and continued playing the game. Only this time, he deliberately slowed his speed a bit.

He thought: I won't pay attention to you; you can't just cling and refuse to leave.

The cold attitude instead aroused Liu Xinyu's nature; she rested her chin with interest, appearing to watch seriously, while secretly estimating in her heart: 200 hand speed? Much slower than before, interesting.

It seemed his earlier performance was not a fluke.

If Luo Xiaoshan and Liang Yu were here, they would surely look at Chen Yi with fiery jealous eyes. Even before Magic Knight opened, they had been practicing their operation skills on the Floating Mountain Game Platform; after several months, they only reached around 110.

A hand speed of 200 was absolutely a number worth showing off.

Of course, 300 could be called terrifying.

Chen Yi's left hand moved across the keyboard like a swimming dragon, five fingers pressing different keys respectively, producing crisp sounds.

He wanted to slow down more, but had no choice; exercise was like driving a car—even in reverse, the engine's roar would still expose your speed.

Looking again at his game character "Volcano," left pill right sway, as if drunk, yet every movement dodged attacks just right, with sharp and accurate counterattacks from time to time.

At this time, Chen Yi began trying to enter the Sixth Layer.

The Fifth Layer rarely had any meddlesome figures, and he didn't want to produce a "50-person slaying" announcement for Liu Xinyu to see, so he had to continue forward.

The Sixth Layer's range was smaller, with fewer trees and obstacles available for hiding on the screen. Not long after entering, Chen Yi had to get involved in the first battle in an area far from the Main Road.

Seeing the game character in combat state, Chen Yi's speed unnaturally increased. It was like during a long-distance run; even a well-trained professional athlete often couldn't tell whether their speed was fast or slow. He could only determine his speed based on his opponent, so the higher the level of the match, the more likely records would be born.

Chen Yi himself had not yet realized the acceleration, but Liu Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she drew closer and closer.

Suppressing the urge to shoot a Magic Arrow, Chen Yi used over a dozen Magic Arrows to complete his debut in the Sixth Layer.

At this time, he was slightly aware something was amiss; when he stood up to speak, the beautiful home tutor was less than 30 centimeters from him.

Distance was a very interesting thing.

For many people, 30 centimeters was very far; on crowded buses, the distance between people was often only half of that.

But facing a beauty like Liu Xinyu, 30 centimeters was nothing more than the height of her proud twin peaks.

Chen Yi's eyes were filled with light purple thin clothing; so close that it seemed sticking out his tongue could lick...

This thought made his heart race, his pulse fast as if he had run ten thousand meters.

Liu Xinyu also discovered this awkward situation, but she did not panic; her straight legs remained motionless, as if completely unaware.

After a long while, Chen Yi exhaled a long breath of hot air and sat down quietly.

Liu Xinyu suddenly shivered, the fur on the back of her neck standing up; she observed Chen Yi's movements with full attention, but did not expect to be teased by the hot air from his mouth.

Looking closely at Chen Yi, he seemed completely unaware, and did not appear to be doing it on purpose.

"Miss Liu?" Chen Rongxi knocked lightly on the door.

Liu Xinyu secretly noted the two words "Volcano" on her mobile phone, smiled charmingly, and left the room.

Chen Yi leaned heavily against the chair, suddenly feeling somewhat exhausted.
