Everyone that was close to and familiar with Li Yao looked at him in surprise. They had already prepared themselves for his arrogant remarks, but they did not expect him to be so mellow and easy-going.

Instead, it was the stunned Li Haitao who was feeling a little embarrassed. He came back to his senses when Zhang Ming gave him a slight pull on his sleeves, and he proceeded to drink casually.

He could not use any of the comebacks he had prepared for Li Yao, and he just sat there in silence.

The ballroom was separated into two areas, one was a leisure area which resembled a bar, the other was a dining area.

“It’s not even ten o’clock yet, a little early to take orders. Since it’s our first reunion in years, why don’t we find some activities to do.”

“Good idea, perfect time for some games,” replied Haitao. “Have any of you heard of World of Ancient Gods?” continued Haitao with a slight cough.

When he mentioned World of Ancient Gods, the atmosphere suddenly became heated. Almost everyone was playing the game.

After a heated discussion amongst the classmates, Li Haitao felt that he had created enough sparks. “There is no point just mentioning it. There is a connector at the back of the bar, connecting via this connector will allow us to battle using our game characters. The battle can be seen on the screen here, just like a mini contest. Since everyone plays this game, why don’t we have a mini battle contest?” exclaimed Haitao.

Haitao’s underlings began to cheer loudly. “Assistant class president Wang, what do you think?” Haitao smiled.

“Of course! If that’s what we are doing, I will be the referee,” replied Wang Xiaolei.

“Sure thing,” said Haitao. “Other than that, I will be sponsoring 150,000 CPs as the prize. The first place will receive 100,000 CPs, 30,000 for first runner up and 20,000 for second-runner up.”

The entire bar was buzzing with excitement. Although some students were born in a wealthy family, the majority were just average people from average families. These people could hardly earn a few thousand CPs in a month. To them, a hundred thousand CPs was a huge sum of money.

Li Haitao felt smug with the outcome. Once the crowd had quietened down, he began speaking again. “To those who would like to participate, you can look for assistant president Wang to sign up for the match. We shall start in just a moment.”

Zhao Lei looked at the crowd that had lined up to register. “Yao, are you going to register for the match?” he whispered.

Li Yao swirled the wine in his glass and took a sip of the grape wine. “Nope, not interested.”

“How can you not be interested? Li Haitao is being too much right now. It is clear that he’s trying to buy his way into people’s hearts. No, I have to sign up so I can teach him a lesson.” Zhao Lei’s eyes were flickering with eagerness.

“Then, I will cheer for you.”

“Watch me as I destroy that dim-wit. Wait here, I’m going to get my victory prize. We will spend it and have a good time later.” Zhao Lei ran off to sign up for the match.

Li Yao gave a subtle smile. In his past life, Li Haitao used this method to show off his power and strength. Of course, this kind of strength was only achievable using strong equipment.

He had a full set of enhanced Green equipment, all he had to do was to just stand still and it would still take other players half a day to defeat him. Then, he tempted others to join his guild by saying that he would help them to get better equipment. From this, he was able to recruit a group of people into his guild.

Of course, while carrying out his plans, he dragged Li Yao into a match so that he could defeat him to humiliate him.

In his previous life, Li Yao was full of himself as he played as a Level 3 bandit against Li Haitao in a duel. In the end, he was not able to break Haitao’s defense and was humiliated.

Now, although the plan was slightly different, Li Yao believed that Li Haitao would still find a way to make Li Yao join in a match with him. Thus, there was no need for him to register.

Instead, Li Yao had the urge to tease Haitao. The feeling was indescribable yet he liked it.

Li Yao loved drinking in his past life. Since he was recently reborn, he did not have much money to drink. Now that it was someone else’s treat, he was more than glad to drink more. In the past, he was so wrapped up in his rage that he did not care for the expensive wine.

Li Yao walked to the bar and picked some of the selection of wines offered. He stood by the side alone as he watched the other classmates battle. From the big screen, he was able to see the contestants fighting viciously, the entire scene was quite lively.

But to Li Yao, it looked like children’s fight.

It was the same as his previous life, Haitao and his underling dogs were able to advance ahead and no one could beat the three of them.

Looking at the other classmates as they watched the match with envy and admiration, while some complimented Li Haitao and his underlings, the corner of Li Yao’s lips curled slightly.

“You look like you’ve changed a lot.” A sweet, familiar voice travelled into Li Yao’s ears.

Qin Fengyi casually sat next to Li Yao. “I can see the playfulness and dominance in your eyes.”

“You’re hallucinating.” Li Yao gently clinked her glass of wine with his and continued to sip on his drink.

Fengyi’s ever-charming appearance became more serious, there was confusion in her eyes. “I believe what I have just seen with my eyes. What have you gone through this year?”
