Chapter 225

Suzhou Hualin Hotel, Room 3801 on the third floor.

"Damn, this hall is so luxurious, Pei Ling, are you really not a rich second generation?" A man in his early twenties was excitedly walking around the private room when another young man gently pressed his head down.

“I’m not a rich kid,” Pei Ling said.

"Then how come you have money here...?"

"Yuan Qing." Tang Hong turned his head, and his words deflated the previously bouncy Yuan Qing.

"I'm sorry, Pei Ling, Yuan Qing is just a child who has never left home."

"Who hasn't left home before?"

"Your mother wants you to go out, so listen to me."

"Tang Hong, don't think that just because my mom tells me to listen to you, I'll actually listen to you once I leave the house." Yuan Qing finally got to go out, thinking that she wouldn't have to be the obedient son at home for the next two months.

How could he easily let go of this opportunity?

Yuan Qing crossed his legs and said, "That was just a temporary measure, understand? A temporary measure!"

Tang Hong: "Then I'll call Auntie now."

"I'm telling you you're disobedient."

Startled, Yuan Qing immediately sat down properly in the chair, all her previous arrogance vanishing.

"Hey, hey, Brother Hong, no, no, no..."

Pei Ling watched the two bickering quietly from the side until their conversation ended, at which point he spoke up:

"Ye-ge and Youyou will be here soon."

"This is a contract drafted for us by the investors I found. You can take a look at it first. If you're not comfortable with it, you can also hire a professional lawyer."

"Aside from the issue of account ownership, this contract is not much different from contracts with other clubs."

On the glass turntable on the round table are several thin contracts.

Tang Hong took a copy, carefully flipped through it, and tentatively asked, "Pei Ling, excuse me. May I ask about my doubts?"

"Is the Pei Group mentioned in the contract the same Pei as yours?"

Since it involved a contract, Tang Hong was naturally cautious. When he noticed that the club's investment company was signed by the Pei family, he asked about it.

Pei Ling answered truthfully, "Yes."

Tang Hong immediately understood why Pei Ling was able to find suitable investors in such a short time.

Yuan Qing wasn't too concerned about the contract; instead, she eagerly awaited the arrival of the other two who hadn't yet reached the hotel.

Just then, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.

"Sir, please come in," the waiter said.

A tall figure appeared behind the door. His casual clothes accentuated his broad shoulders and long arms, and he exuded a maturity beyond his years.

As Yuan Ye entered the private room, his gaze met the three people looking at him.

"Brother Ye?" Yuan Qing waved.

"I am Tang Hong," Tang Hong introduced himself.

"Pei Ling."

"I am Yuanye." Yuanye sat down on the other side of the round table, with no one beside him.

Yuan Qing looked around the field curiously, muttering, "Why isn't Xiao Youyou here yet?"

"I drank too much water, I need to go to the toilet first."

Pei Ling took a sip of tea and remained silent.

Tang Hong was still carefully reviewing the terms of the contract.

Yuan Qing left his seat, intending to relieve himself. His right hand had just touched the doorknob of the private room when he heard another voice from the waiter beside him:

"Miss, please come in."

What came into Yuan Qing's view was a delicate and beautiful face. Her fox-like eyes were slightly upturned as she looked at Yuan Qing, almost making him choke on his words.

"Did you go to the wrong place?"

Yuan Qing managed to utter a single sentence.

"Is this room 3801?" Yingning asked again to confirm.

“Yes.” Yuan Qing looked at the doorplate.

It is indeed license plate number 3801.

"That's right."

Yingning tilted her head slightly, looking at the interior of the private room, which was hidden by Yuan Qing's body.

She slightly raised her hand to explain her identity to the four people in the private room:

"Hello everyone, I am Yuuyu."

The four people, including Yuan Qing, stared in astonishment at the person who had barged into the private room. No matter how much they imagined You You's appearance, they couldn't connect her with a girl.

That fierce fighting style and the rugged character of the swordsman...

They even remember the horrific scene of her finally slaying the evil spirit king.

Now...

The fox-eyed girl at the door, she claims to be the player who dealt the highest damage in the team—Yu Yu?!

...

Pei Ling's cough finally broke the deathly silence.

Tang Hong received a surprised look from the observer.

Yuan Qing's eyes widened, but she eventually covered her mouth and swallowed her surprise.

There was only one person in the private room. When he saw Ying Ning, he was first surprised in disbelief, then tense and uncomfortably tense, and finally his gaze gradually became deep and intense as he locked onto her figure.

She's Yu Yu?

It was her.

The Pei Group spent a lot of money to secure the main hosting rights for Fairy-One, and even carefully selected the club venue provided to Pei Ling.

The club was located in a five-story commercial building two kilometers from the international convention center. Pei Ling led them around, explaining as she went:

"This used to be a training camp, and now we use it as a club venue."

"The first floor is the activity area and gym."

"The second floor has training rooms and meeting rooms, and the third floor has dormitories and a restaurant."

"The fourth and fifth floors are currently just used to store some miscellaneous items."

As everyone stepped onto the first floor, Pei Ling pressed a switch on the wall, and long lights shone directly from above, exposing the first floor environment to them.

Inside the glass room are rows of fitness equipment.

After going around the front desk, you'll find an indoor board game room, a billiards room, a small restaurant and coffee bar, and even an open-air campsite.

The second floor is even more surprising.

"Could this be the A-4 model that Future Company just launched a couple of days ago?!"

Yuan Qing immediately looked up at the top of the holographic gaming pod and exclaimed, "It's an S-class holographic pod!!"

Pei Ling didn't know why Yuan Qing was surprised, and simply said:

"I heard that the players' holographic capsules for this year's league are all the A-4 model. So I've been thinking about it, and we'd better get used to the new model in advance."

'If you feel it's not applicable...'

Pei Ling was about to suggest that they could get a few old machines for everyone to use temporarily.

Yuan Qing: "Here!! There's even a holographic LCD conference room!!"

Tang Hong: "This is the lounge."

Yingning also pushed open a door: "There's also a massage room."

Seeing this, Yuan Qing immediately asked Pei Ling, "Little Ling, you kid, tell me again you're not a rich second-generation?!"

"We actually have a rich kid secretly hiding in our team, Xiao Ling, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I'm definitely not a rich kid." Pei Ling listened to everyone's noisy chatter, unaware that she was with them, and her mood inexplicably lightened.

He counted on his fingers:

"If we really have to count, I should be considered an eighth-generation rich kid."

The group gradually moved into the club's dormitory. There were six rooms on the third floor, three on each side of the staircase. Yuan Qing, Tang Hong, and Pei Ling stayed in the rooms on the east side of the staircase, while Yuan Ye chose the rooms on the west side.

The club provides daily cleaning and cooking services to address any issues related to daily life.

On the first day at the club, the lights in the training room were not turned off until 8 p.m.

Yuan Qing stretched and said with lingering satisfaction, "As expected, the A-4 model still needs S-level configuration."

"I dare say that this operating experience has even improved my skill hit rate quite a bit."

"Indeed, the original models required adjustments to the compatibility, while the new bubble mode is also very friendly to female players, and the difference in body size between men and women will not affect the agility of the character."

Upon hearing Yingning's words, Yuan Qing sighed deeply and looked at her earnestly:

"Little Youyou".

"I still can't seem to accept the fact that you're a girl."

"In my imagination, you should be a little shorter and a little fatter than me..." Yuan Qing touched his non-existent stubble on his chin:

"A quiet, reclusive guy."

"I thought you were a sissy..."

Yuan Qing was shaking his head and sighing when Tang Hong flicked his forehead: "Didn't you say you were hungry? How come you still have the energy to talk nonsense here?"

Tang Hong pulled Yuan Qing downstairs for a late-night snack, giving Ying Ning an apologetic look.

"Hey, Xiaoling, look how thin you are, let's go eat instant noodles together." Before leaving, Yuan Qing didn't forget Pei Ling, who was silently looking at her phone.

In the end, only two people remained on the second floor.

The atmosphere was quite quiet.

Ever since Yuan Ye learned that Ying Ning was You You, he hadn't spoken a single word to her. Even when the two of them were playing together in the game, he would always deliberately avoid her.

However, he made two mistakes during team fights.

The position of captain remains with Yuanye, just as before.

"Captain, I'm going upstairs now."

The clear, boyish voice that once filled the air was now beside Yuan Ye, but the last syllable of her voice was still sweet and lingering, making one want to hear some yearning tone from that voice.

The man's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a barely suppressed aura was about to escape his control.

By the time Yuanye realized what was happening, he had already blocked the person at the door.

His gaze was gradually lifted from the surface of calm by the tense panting of a snow-white butterfly. Yuan Ye's voice carried a hint of annoyance. He felt that he had been played for a while, so this time he ruthlessly caught the butterfly's fluttering wings.

Yuanye, as if freed from the shackles that had bound it for many years, was no longer timid and hesitant because of the past, but instead revealed its true aggressive nature.

All of this was fully revealed at this moment when his palm was pressed against Ying Ning's back.

The man gripped Yingning's wrist tightly with his other hand, his voice carrying a dangerous undertone:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"You Yingning".

Only now did Yuanye finally admit that from the very first time he met her, he had coveted this snow-white butterfly that had passed by unintentionally.

He lowered his eyes, his tone quite ambiguous:

"This is our sixth meeting. Do you remember the bet we made?"

"I lost the bet."

"Is it down there? Let's try it tonight."
