Two or three days have passed since Li Tianhua's incident, and Xu Chen has become completely free. Apart from spending time with Wang Li, his only task now is to take good care of his mother and wait for the baby to be born. That noon, Xu Chen cooked a nutritious meal for Wang Rong as usual, then went back to his room to browse his phone. The moment he took it out, the screen lit up, and a barrage of WeChat messages caught his attention. "Everyone, it's been so many days since graduation and we haven't had a get-together. Shall we have lunch together today?" "Sure! I was just wondering why our class hasn't had a gathering. Since the teacher suggested it, I'll join." "Me too!" Teacher Li sent a voice message, sounding slightly apologetic. "The class committee had wanted to organize it for a while, but they decided to postpone it because of my personal matters. I'm sorry, everyone." A little while later, Xu Chen saw that most people in the group chat didn't seem to mind and had all indicated they would attend. Wang Li also messaged him, asking for his opinion, "Chenchen, are you going?" Xu Chen replied, "Of course! After all, we don't want to see each other again for so many years. Lili, let's go together tonight." Wang Li replied "okay," and Xu Chen exited WeChat to browse other websites.
"Hey, this is..." Xu Chen clicked on the character demo of Yuan Shen Hu Tao while scrolling through the game. "Yin and Yang in order, fate unpredictable..." He watched the entire demo with interest, then opened Baidu and searched for Yuan Shen. "This game is pretty good, I'll download it and give it a try." Xu Chen opened the game's official website, downloaded Yuan Shen, and soon the game finished downloading. He registered an account, chose his sister, and started running around the map and doing quests. However, the graphics looked laggy, which annoyed Xu Chen. "Why is my phone so hot?" After playing for only a short while, Xu Chen felt the heat on the back of his phone. Upon hearing this question, Xiaobai said, "That's because your phone's performance is too poor. Let me help you." Xu Chen waited for Xiaobai's actions. After a short while, Xiaobai told Xu Chen, "I installed a small program I wrote myself on your phone. From now on, for all the games you play, I'll calculate the graphics in advance and send it to your phone." Xu Chen scratched his head, "I kind of understand. So, you're taking over the work that originally belonged to the phone, right, Xiaobai?" Xiaobai said, "Yes, you understand perfectly. It seems you're no longer a complete novice when it comes to the internet." Xu Chen smiled; "Then..." "It's all thanks to Sister Xiaobai!" Xu Chen activated the program Xiaobai had sent, then restarted the game. The graphics were now incredibly smooth and clear. He spent the entire afternoon immersed in the game. He put down his phone and stretched, when a request on the screen caught his attention. "Enter my world?" Without thinking, he clicked "accept." Then, a low-health Zhongli entered his world. Xu Chen didn't recognize the character and greeted him warmly, receiving a friendly reply. After entering Xu Chen's world, the stranger stayed at the statue in the Windrise Land for a while before leaving. Upon entering Xu Chen's world, he was completely bewildered. "What's this person doing? Is he just greeting me?" He then ignored him. Not long after, Xu Chen was attacked by the ball-shaped creature. After a fierce battle, he decided to retreat. "My health bar is almost empty. The statue is supposed to replenish health, right?" Xu Chen clicked the teleport button and returned to the vicinity of the statue. However, no matter how much he circled around the statue, his health bar still wouldn't fill up. "Strange, is there a bug?" Having been on Earth for so long and surfing the internet every day, he already knew all sorts of new terms. Seeing that the statue was 'malfunctioning,' Xu Chen, frustrated, quit the game.
A short while later, Wang Li called. Xu Chen learned that the dinner was at the Jinyang Hotel. He went out, greeted Wang Rong, got into his car in front of the residential compound, and arrived at the hotel. Seeing Wang Li waiting for him at the entrance, Xu Chen rushed over and hugged her. "Lili, were you waiting long?" Wang Li nodded. "You're so late today, is something wrong?" Xu Chen took out his phone and showed Wang Li the program for the game "Yuan Shen." "Lili, this game is really fun, but I promise, I won't make you wait for me again next time." Wang Li hugged Xu Chen's arm, and the two of them... They entered the hall. On the second floor, the students from Class One were divided into several private rooms. Xu Chen saw Li Qingqing wandering between the rooms. When she saw Xu Chen and Wang Li, she smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this our class's model couple? Please come in. Xu Chen, your seat is next to Teacher Li." Xu Chen pulled Wang Li into the private room. As expected, this room was full of students with good grades. When Zhang Weiwei saw Xu Chen and Wang Li arrive, she immediately cheered, "The top two students have arrived! Let's give them a round of applause!" The students all applauded enthusiastically.
At that moment, Tao Jia, sitting alone in the next private room, also heard the commotion. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. "She stole the man I loved, causing me to fail my college entrance exam. And she even brought him out to show off. Fine, Wang Li, tonight I'll make you taste what it's like to lose everything." She took out her phone and sent a text message, then her expression returned to calm. At this moment, Xu Chen stood up and toasted his classmates. Li Haitao winked at the male classmates around him, then said to Xu Chen, "Top scholar, one drink tonight might not be enough." The male classmates next to him also said, "Yeah, Xu Chen, you must drink more tonight. We'll keep you company." Xu Chen nodded, picked up the bottle, and poured drinks for the three of them. At this moment, Zhang Weiwei quickly said to Wang Li, "Wang Li, persuade your Xu Chen. Both of them can drink. If Xu Chen gets drunk and passes out, you won't be able to carry him." Wang Li was very calm, "Sister Weiwei, it's okay. If Xu Chen gets drunk, I'll wait here for him to sober up before we go home." Zhang Weiwei couldn't help but feel surprised, but she didn't say anything more. At this time, the drinking contest between Xu Chen and Li Haitao entered a heated stage. Teacher Li watched with great interest from the side. The reason she didn't stop them was naturally because she knew the family background of the three of them, and besides, it was none of her business. Li Haitao was the first to give in, "I can't take it anymore, Xu Chen, you're too scary! You drink like water and you're perfectly fine." Another male classmate quickly sat down to catch his breath. Li Qingqing entered the private room at this moment. She knew Li Haitao was having a drinking contest with Xu Chen. Seeing Li Haitao give in, she immediately said loudly, "Li Haitao chickened out! Li Haitao, are you even capable?" Li Haitao blushed, feeling a bit ashamed to be told that by the girl he had a crush on. He immediately perked up, "Who says I'm not capable? Come on, let's keep drinking." In the end, it was obvious that both of them were drunk by Xu Chen.
