currently, lao yao and the girls in the studio had a rather regular lifestyle. they would wake up in the morning and have breakfast together. then, they would go online to play the game. at noon, they would go offline to eat. in the afternoon, they would continue playing the game until around 10 pm. when the game time was up, they would leave the room almost at the same time and prepare to eat supper…

this kind of life made lao yao feel unprecedentedly fulfilled. he finally found something to do. it was much better than staying in his room and watching movies all day long. furthermore, there were fewer disputes with the tenants, and his ears were much quieter.

after going offline, lao yao took a shower before putting on his clothes and leaving the room. not long after he sat down in the living room, the diligent didi had already prepared night snacks.

today’s night snacks were relatively simple. it was just a bowl of noodles, but the same fragrance overflowed. the well-defined noodles were suffused with a pleasant oily glow. not only was there green onion sprinkling on it, but there were also a few pieces of cold chicken left over from the afternoon. it looked so tempting.

lao yao was absolutely satisfied with meng di’s craftsmanship. he did not say much and immediately started to snore.

“wow! no way!” ning jing, who followed behind, also received the night snacks that meng di brought to her. however, when she saw the cold chicken in lao yao’s bowl, ning jing immediately shouted, “didi! why is there meat in uncle pervert’s bowl but not mine?! alright! tell me, are you having an affair with him?!”

meng di’s face turned red from ning jing’s unrestrained words. she secretly glanced at lao yao, who was giggling foolishly, and spat at ning jing. “wretched girl! what are you talking about! didn’t you say that you wanted to lose weight? i didn’t add meat because i listened to your instructions!”

ning jing muttered to herself foolishly, “really? did i tell you that? why can’t i remember? also, are sister lele and the others losing weight together? why do they have no meat either?”

lao yao almost laughed out loud. didi was giving him special treatment! last time, because of the bathroom incident, lao yao had been worried that didi would be angry. however, looking at it now, she wasn’t. on the contrary, looking at this little girl’s shy appearance, she seemed to have a good impression of him!

hence, lao yao felt that there was no one more handsome than him in the world! he could not help but sigh. life! it was just like the chicken that floated above the noodles. it was precisely because of it that the entire bowl of noodles looked so different.

looking at lao yao’s smug look, ning jing scolded him hatefully, “what are you laughing at! be careful not to choke to death! it will become a great omen!”

after saying that, she placed the bowl in front of lao yao with a bang. ning jing also sat down opposite lao yao and picked up her chopsticks to eat the noodles.

lao yao was used to teasing ning jing, and this time was no exception. he was in a good mood. when he heard the jealousy in ning jing’s words, he was about to look up and tease her when he accidentally saw a scene that made his blood boil.

ning jing was wearing a loose t-shirt today. when she lowered her head to eat the noodles, the t-shirt naturally dropped a little because of gravity. it was not much, just enough for lao yao to see a white lump of flesh…

“pfft!” lao yao spat out a mouthful of noodles. he, who happened to have noodles in his mouth, was stimulated by the sudden beautiful scenery. the noodles entered his mouth but came out from his nose!

if my ears and mouth are connected, i think i might be able to get a few noodles out of my ears…

“great omen! it’s indeed a great omen!” lao yao repeated this sentence, but his eyes could not move away.

“what are you doing?” ning jing was attracted by the strange sound that lao yao made. she looked up and realized that lao yao’s gaze was fixed on her chest.

when she looked down, ning jing immediately understood what had happened. she immediately pounced at him with a roar…

after yang yongle went offline, she also took a shower in the bathroom in her room. however, she came out a little late. as a result, the moment she came out, she realized that ning jing, this little chili, had actually thrown herself into lao yao’s arms and pulled lao yao’s face to the sides with both hands!

as for our comrade lao yao, his originally manly face had now become a 2d flat picture. a strand of noodles was still hanging in his nostrils, swaying…

yang yongle understood what was going on at a glance and chuckled. he teased ning jing, “eh? when did you guys become such good friends? you’ve already reached the point of physical intimacy?!”

“pui, pui, pui! how is that possible!” ning jing jumped up from lao yao’s body like a frightened rabbit. she tidied her wrinkled clothes and said disdainfully, “no matter who it is, i won’t sleep with this perverted uncle!”

the group of girls who had been watching the joke from the side finally couldn’t help but laugh in unison when they saw ning jing refuse to admit it, making ning jing even more embarrassed.

“ah! lele! thank goodness you’re here!” lao yao turned around and greeted yang yongle. “benefactor! you’ve finally saved me! i’m extremely grateful!”

“you… i… i think you… should remove the noodles from your nose first before you speak…” looking at lao yao’s appearance, yang yongle only felt the muscles on his face twitching violently, and his stomach seemed to be in slight pain…

after finally finishing their night snacks, yang yongle said to lao yao, “what level are you now? have you found a racial mentor to accept the main mission?”

“don’t mention it!” lao yao looked like he was pooping. “the mentor of the shadow race is in a godforsaken place like the death swamp. i actually completed the mission to help him kill monsters. now, he wants me to escort him back to the main city. not only does this guy not have any combat strength, but he even walked towards a place where there are many monsters. it took me a long time to send him back. in the end, this guy actually didn’t give me any talent points as a reward and only gave me some experience points!”

“no way!” yang yongle was a little surprised. “we got a talent point in the first few steps of the mission. how can you not have any?”

“i don’t know either!” lao yao shook his head and said, “the subsequent missions can only be accepted at level 15! i wonder what kind of insane mission it will be at that time…”

“forget it! look at it on the bright side!” yang yongle comforted him. “your character attributes are so strong, and your race is so special. it’s reasonable for the system to give you some difficult missions!”

lao yao thought about it and agreed.

“your next mission is to level up as soon as possible!” yang yongle continued, “when you reach level 15, you can enter the dungeon with ning jing and the others. the equipment of the team has to be supplied first. you might need to clear the dungeon once a day. with your high attack output, don’t waste it!”

lao yao also understood that a small studio like silver maple leaf had limited abilities. although the equipment in the era of the gods was valuable, they had to ensure that the team’s equipment could keep up. the rest could only be used to trade with other players. if they could not enter the dungeon early to farm equipment, when the players could clear the dungeon themselves, the equipment would not be worth much.

it seemed that he had to understand the instance dungeon settings of the era of the gods.

a lot of the official information seemed to only be released after the players reached a certain level. this was indeed criticized by many people. however, some leveling maniacs seemed to be about to reach level 15 now. they should release this information, right?

at the thought of the problem of experience, lao yao could not help but want to curse. the experience required to level up in this game was really too high. before lao yao went offline today, he was just at level 11, and the experience needed from level 11 to level 12 was actually 144,000! 140,000 experience points! it was an exponential increase, and the experience from killing small monsters was terrifyingly low. a level 13 fishman only gave lao yao 300 experience points. this meant that lao yao needed to kill 500 small monsters to level up. it was really painful!

just as lao yao was letting his imagination run wild, he heard ning jing’s loud cry. “everyone, come and watch the news!”
