Rookie King?? Even Lin Shen didn’t get Rookie King, and this Jiang Ye did?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Wait, is this Jiang Ye the same one who was dead last on our Apartment’s Level Ranking?

How’d you get it?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang fired off four or five messages in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them practically radiating excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this guy wasn’t completely brain-dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After firing off that many texts, he suddenly felt like… something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, Apartment 9999’s chat wasn’t always lively—but it was never this quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now? A massive event like the Rookie King being announced… and he was the only one talking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang’s slow brain finally caught on—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe this Jiang Ye, who seemed totally unremarkable and was dead last on the Level Ranking…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t so simple after all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others weren’t silent because they weren’t curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were silent because they knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t afford to mess with this guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that, Li Aoliang slapped himself—SMACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forehead sweating, nerves firing off, he quickly changed his tone in the chat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Big bro, I didn’t mean any disrespect @Jiang Ye, I was just a tiny bit curious!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ahem, the whole Rookie King thing?
