Chapter 207: Yunze 21

Ye Jian arrived soon without bringing any gifts, but when he sat down he took out a jade pendant from his pocket. He said that this jade pendant could clear the lungs and soothe the liver, and that wearing it on the chest would be good for the body.

"I heard that you were ill recently. I hope this jade can keep you healthy."

After saying that, he stood up and helped Su Qingyun's mother put on the jade pendant.

Su Qingyun watched quietly from the side. The jade pendant that Ye Jian gave her should be a piece of jadeite, or a high-grade imperial green one. It was nonsense to say that it could clear the lungs and soothe the liver, but it was a real thing.

When Su Qingyun was pouring tea for Ye Jian, she whispered in his ear, "You wanted to give it to me, so don't give me a bill if we break up later."

Ye Jian made an OK gesture.

Xu Xinghe didn't know that Su Qingyun had also invited Ye Jian, but he didn't say anything after he found out, because forming a team was Su Qingyun's personal decision, and they could only agree or disagree.

However, Xu Xinghe was puzzled by Ye Jian's agreement to form a team.

After the pleasantries, he said to Ye Jian, "I didn't expect you to agree to form a team. You've always been a loner in dungeons."

Ye Jian smiled and replied, "The rules have been revised, so I should keep up with the times."

What follows is almost a conversation between two men.

Ye Jian asked Xu Xinghe if the Starry Group had repaired their base station. "We might have to stay in there for a long time this time. I need to grab the things in my weird supermarket from my phone."

Xu Xinghe replied, "Currently, there are no problems with calls and text messages. We can't test the material conversion because not many people have purchased the strange phone, and no one has been able to provide us with feedback yet."

Few people can afford a weird phone that costs 100 million yuan.

Ye Jian immediately understood what Xu Xinghe meant. "You mean we can only know if the other functions of the strange phone can be used after we enter the illusion?"

"Yes."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"Our Starry Group will send engineers to repair it, but we have to wait. We only have two engineers who are trial participants. One is still in the dungeon, and the other is in the real world waiting to enter the illusion. It will take at least a few days."

"Does your fastest speed depend on the engineer in the dungeon?"

"Yes." Xu Xinghe nodded.

Ye Jian thought for a moment, "What if he can't pass the level above A?"

If you can’t clear the level with an A rank or above, you can’t return to the fantasy world.

Xu Xinghe replied, "That's why I said we have to wait. The base station is in the illusion, and we haven't found a way to enter it yet."

Ye Jian glanced at Su Qingyun and asked Xu Xinghe another question, "You teamed up with Su Qingyun, are you hoping to use her intelligence to help your Star Group find the route to the illusion?"

Xu Xinghe also glanced at Su Qingyun, but he did not deny it.

Ye Jian was very satisfied with Xu Xinghe's performance. He said, "It seems that we can both gain what we need by entering the dungeon together. In that case, let me discuss a business deal with you."

"What business?" Xu Xinghe asked.

"Tomorrow, when we enter the fantasy world, I will help you find the cause of the network outage and fix it. You can hire me as an engineer for your Starry Group."

"Is this a business?" The person who asked the question was Su Qingyun, because she really couldn't help it. Ye Jian was obviously looking for a job for herself.

Does he need this job?

"I need this job." Ye Jian said to Xu Xinghe very sincerely, "When I went back to my hometown this time, my old man scolded me. He said I was not doing my job properly and was just idling around all day."

"So I need a job to report back to. You can decide on the salary. If there are any problems with the base station in the future, you can ask me to fix it."

Xu Xinghe did not answer immediately.

Su Qingyun spoke up and asked Ye Jian, "Can you repair a base station?"

Ye Jian crossed his arms and said, "Don't underestimate me. I'm a top student who graduated from a serious network engineering major."

"I know this," Xu Xinghe mentioned the name of a famous university, "Ye Jian is a graduate student at this school."

Su Qingyun opened her mouth in surprise. Ye Jian was a graduate student from a prestigious university, yet he seemed to be so lazy all day long.

Looking at Ye Jian again, where does he look like a programmer? He is clearly a dandy kid from a wealthy family.

However, whether to hire Ye Jian was Xu Xinghe's business, so Su Qingyun didn't say anything more. She pulled her mother into the kitchen and let the two men talk about business.

In the kitchen, Su's mother touched the jade on her chest with her hand, then looked back at the expensive gifts on the table, and finally whispered to Su Qingyun.

"Both of these guys are good. One is a corporate executive, and the other is a top student from a prestigious university. They're both generous. If you're interested in developing a relationship with one of them, that wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Mom, I told you we're just friends who've cleared the level together. Besides, with the weirdness coming and the world becoming like this, how can I have the heart to talk about marriage?"

"But people have to survive. You can't live in a dungeon your whole life. Even if you do, you should still have a home."

"Let's talk about it later."

"When mom asked this question, you said in the future, do you... have someone you like?"

"No."

Mother Su smiled and said, "Qingyun, you are my daughter. I know what you are thinking. Do you like Qin Shu?"

Su Qingyun was shocked. She didn't expect that her mother knew her previous thoughts.

In this case, Su Qingyun decided to tell the truth to her mother.

She told her story about being cheated.

After hearing this, the mother was very excited. "Qin Shu used his mother to trick you into entering the dungeon instead of Yang Bingyan?"

"Yes, I thought it was only a matter of time before I entered the dungeon. Since Qin Shu's mother was ill, I asked Qin Shu to stay by her side to take care of her. I didn't expect that my father would do that for me..." Su Qingyun lowered her head sadly.

The mother waved her hand and said, "You are too kind, and the boy from the Qin family is too mean."

She also comforted Su Qingyun, "Actually, you're right about one thing. You're bound to enter the dungeon sooner or later. Your father went there to find you, but he would have gone there whether he was looking for you or not. No one can escape. Unless these harmful dungeons disappear, no one can have peace."

Su Qingyun's mother sighed, "I really hope someone can put an end to this and let life return to normal, so that no silly girl like you will be deceived again."

Su Qingyun glanced at Ye Jian who was sitting in the living room and said firmly, "It will end."

Because someone is working hard.

And she will help this person accomplish this.
