Chapter 568: Great General He Jin (1/2)
My phone suddenly rang, so I hurriedly found a quiet corner and accepted the call. “Hello, Eve. What’s wrong?”
“Where are you guys? We didn’t see you at the workshop.”
“Oh nothing, just killing some players for Gui Guzi and the gang…”
“...”
“So, why did you call me, Eve?” I asked again.
He Yi let out a chuckle before replying, “It’s nothing big, really. I just want to tell you some good news.”
“Oh? Tell me.”
“Our Mingyue has finally become a Famous General!”
“Ah, really? Haha! What did she learn? It must be pretty powerful, isn’t it?”
“Yes, she learned a skill called Bright Mirror. It increases the healing effectiveness of all party members by 35%, and removes all forms of debuffs instantly…”
I exclaimed in shock, “Holy shit, that is amazing! I thought she would learn something called ‘Breast God’ or something, but subpar name aside the effects are seriously amazing. Speaking of which, can Bright Mirror remove Candlelight Shadow’s Ghost God Prophecy?”
He Yi giggled. “Do you even need to ask? From today onwad, Mingyue will be Candlelight Shadow’s biggest nightmare! Bright Moon is the perfect counter to his Ghost God Prophecy!”
“Haha! That’s so awesome!”
“Mn mn!”
He Yi continued. “Oh right, are you and Beiming coming back this afternoon? If you are then let’s eat lunch together! My second uncle just came back from America, and he wants to meet the both of you!”
“Oh? And your second uncle is…?”
“He’s the vice president of the GGS parent company…”
“Fuck…”
“Fuck, what?”
“I understand now why you're the vice president of the Asia region. Your backer is beyond imagination…”
He Yi replied in a dumbfounded tone, “What are you talking about? I got to where I am through my own skill and hard work, okay? My achievements have nothing to do with my second uncle. Sigh, if even you don’t believe me, then no one will believe me anymore…”
I smiled. “Okay, okay, please forget what I said earlier. Sure, Beiming Xue and I will head home before noon. And please give sis my congratulations. I know she’s been expecting this for a long time.”
“Mn, I know. Come back soon.”
……
I hung up and watched the people of the ASUS e-sports team celebrating their opening day from afar. Just like that, another giant ship of VR gaming had set sail toward the unknown. If a big competition good enough to attract the best teams to appear in the future, the ASUS e-sports team most definitely would be a hot contender for the champion spot!
We busied ourselves until noon before we hailed a taxi and left for the university. When I went back to my car, I counted a total of 7 parking tickets on the front mirror. Beiming Xue stuck out her tongue before laughing, “Big bro, it looks like you got the shit penalized out of you…”
I curled my lips unhappily, “Motherfucker, what a world we live in these days. When an international guest shows up in our country, they’re allowed to break the traffic rules however they want and even escorted by the police themselves. My car is just sitting here and troubling no one for one night, and it got 7 parking tickets for its silence? This really is a strong-eats-weak world…”
Beiming Xue giggled. “What do you want to do then?”
I thought for a moment before answering, “I’m going to summon Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng and High Fighting Spirits and wreck the motor vehicle administration at the end of the year…”
Beiming Xue snorted. “Li Chengfeng himself works for the Ministry of Public Security, and you’re expecting him to wreck the motor vehicle administration with you? Really?”
“Hahaha!”
I was too lazy to remove the parking tickets, so I just left them where they were placed. After that, we got into the car and went back to the workshop.
