“sister lele! it’s not right for you to think that way! i don’t believe that the landlord is the only strong player among so many players, right? other strong players can use this advantage, so why can’t the uncle have such treatment? besides, isn’t he a member of our studio now? if he becomes stronger, it will be beneficial to our studio!”

with ning jing’s carefree personality, she was the first to get over it. she actually spoke up for lao yao for the first time. this made lao yao sigh with emotion. of course, if she didn’t call him uncle, lao yao would be even more grateful to him.

“that’s not what i meant!” yang yongle laughed. “what i meant was that this matter is too eye-catching. it’s better not to let others know about it. after all, there are all kinds of people in this world. if these people use this as an excuse to report to the game company, lao yao will be very passive. therefore, it’s best to keep a low profile.”

“sigh! that’s right! what a pity!” ning jing also sighed. “what a bummer. otherwise, uncle could have brought people to complete the novice dungeon mission. not many people have completed the novice dungeon mission. there are at least 5,000 people in a novice village. that’s a lot of money!”

lao yao’s heart skipped a beat. that’s right. although he had yet to complete the novice dungeon mission, with his current high damage, it would still be very easy for him to clear it. if he were to charge a fee to help others pass the mission, wouldn’t he be able to obtain the first bucket of gold?

however, he had to think of a way to hide his powerful damage. he had to consider this first…

“alright, uncle! our studio will depend on you in the future!” ning jing patted lao yao’s shoulder casually. “you have to continue it!”

lao yao laughed and couldn’t help but tease her. “in that case, you’ve finally admitted that i can be considered an official studio member?”

“yes, i admit it!” ning jing said respectfully.

“in that case, does it mean that the benefits you promised back then can be fulfilled?” lao yao chuckled.

“benefits? what benefits?” ning jing was stunned for a moment before she suddenly reacted. wasn’t the benefit that lao yao was talking about the matter of letting him swim in the pool with the girls?!

the group of girls seemed to have recalled what lao yao meant and instantly blushed. ning jing flew into a rage out of humiliation and pinched lao yao’s arm fiercely. “do you want to die?! let me tell you! no way!”

lao yao immediately fled…

“hmph! this damn bastard! his muscles are so hard…” seeing that lao yao had escaped back to his room, ning jing shook her hand. her fingers were hurting although she pinched someone else. she muttered gloomily. in the end, when yang yongle heard how she addressed lao yao, he also teased, “damn bastard? why is this title so… little jingjing, are you interested in our landlord?”

“tsk! how is that possible!” ning jing pursed her lips and said, “that old pervert. i kindly admitted to letting him join our studio, but he actually wants… benefits?! let him die!”

after joking around for a while, the group of girls returned to their rooms and started playing. lao yao, who had left early, couldn’t help but rub his chin and ponder after returning to his room. “hmm… that little girl ning jing is not bad. although she’s a little hot-tempered, she actually spoke up for me today. it’s very surprising! should i list her as a candidate for a landlady?…”

every man should understand. they would always let their imaginations run wild in such a direction. although he had let the girls from silver maple leaf studio move in back then with the intention of helping them, he could not rule out the possibility that lao yao had subconsciously had that little thought…

all in all, after getting along with them, lao yao was still very satisfied with his decision back then. the girls’ personalities were quite good. furthermore, ever since they came, his three meals had finally returned to normal. under their guidance, he had finally found some fun in a game. these were all gratifying changes.

after coming online, lao yao found out that it would take bed 1 and the others more than 10 minutes to reach the maximum level. he was in a good mood and made a rare “great” decision. he planned to wait for them for a while. for lao yao, it was unprecedented for him to wait, especially for a group of men. therefore, he naturally accepted their gratitude with a clear conscience…

“esteemed player lao yao, although i’m very happy that you’ve reached the standard to walk out of the novice village, i have to tell you some unfortunate news. the path from the novice village to the outside world is blocked by a group of orc bandits. they’re staying there and robbing everyone who wants to leave the village. i think that if you plan to walk out of the city, you have to kill these orcs…”

it wasn’t easy for bed 1 and the others to rush back after they had enough experience. after lao yao listened to the long-winded words of the village chief with them, he received this “road to the outside world” mission.

this dungeon mission was considered a small dungeon for players to practice. however, as only three people could enter at a time, lao yao could only bring bed 1 and a companion to complete the mission first.
