Ke Xiaoke had no idea that he had revealed his identity in front of Fat Uncle. In fact, he never thought that he would run into an acquaintance from the game at school. His small account was not famous, and when the senior student asked him about his game ID, he told her straightforwardly.

After registering their information, the senior asked them to join the school chat group and said to them with a smile, "There will be a freshman exchange competition organized by the Star Card Association next week. If you are interested, you can sign up to participate."

Yu Ke asked curiously: "Senior, can I ask what the reward is?"

The senior said gently: "The first prize is the latest limited edition gaming helmet signed by Tang Shen. The second and third prizes are both smart tablet computers."

Xie Mingzhe had no interest in his senior's autographed helmet, but Yu Ke's eyes lit up when he heard about the reward, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "I want to sign up, where can I sign up?"

The senior student said: "There is a specific notice on the Star Card Association's forum. You can take a look at it in detail."

Yu Ke nodded: "Thank you, Senior Sister, go ahead and do your work, we'll go around!"

After the senior left, Yu Ke and Xie Mingzhe walked around the admissions site and found that there were quite a lot of freshmen joining the association. The two found a corner to sit down, and Xie Mingzhe opened the forum of the Imperial Capital University Star Card Association on his portable computer and found a pinned notice about the freshman exchange competition.

The registration process is very simple and the threshold is very low. There is no limit on the rank in the game. Any freshman who wants to participate can register. Just leave your name, grade, student number and game ID on the forum.

Yu Ke borrowed Xie Mingzhe's computer and quickly left his registration information. He smiled and said, "I just need a helmet. The previous one I used for several years is already old. Hehe, if I win the championship, the helmet signed by Tang Shen will be mine."

Xie Mingzhe looked back and saw a thin layer of red on the boy's face. He looked quite cute in excitement, and he was similar to the jumping Ke Xiaoke in the game. But Xie Mingzhe was a little confused. Could he be the "ghost boy" that his master had speculated? This guy really didn't have the temperament of a killer organization boss at all...

Just as I was thinking about it, Yu Ke suddenly asked, "Xie, aren't you going to participate in the freshman exchange competition?"

Xie Mingzhe was startled by Xie's address, but then he realized he was calling him, so he smiled and touched his nose, saying, "Forget it. I'm planning to create a new account and play ranked games in the arena."

"Oh, then I'll help you level up when I'm free." Yu Ke flipped through the registration posts on the forum and complained, "There are so many people who signed up this year, it's already dozens of pages..." He gradually calmed down from his excitement, frowned and muttered, "I don't know if there are many experts. I may not be able to win the championship with this deck... Otherwise, I can go back and ask Uncle Fatty if he can lend me a few cards."

——Uncle Fat is right in front of you.

Xie Mingzhe forced himself to resist the urge to expose his real identity in front of others. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Ke Xiaoke, to see if the other party was the "ghost boy", and to observe the real strength of this guy.

If Yu Ke's level is good enough, Xie Mingzhe actually wants to promote him to the position of vice president, so that he can help Sister Qing manage the competitive players of Nirvana Guild. It is much more reassuring to have an alumnus who knows everything about you stay by your side to help you, rather than recruiting new people from outside.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to say, "Xiao Ke, you are the first friend I met at school. Let's exchange contact information so that we can play games together in the future."

Yu Ke didn't think much about it, and left his contact information with a smile, saying, "You are also the first friend I know."

The two of them played at the Star Card Association for the entire afternoon and returned to the dormitory together after dinner.

Yu Ke ate two more bowls of noodles for dinner. Xie Mingzhe was particularly impressed by his appetite, probably because he was growing taller.

Yu Ke's dormitory was right above Xie Mingzhe's building. Yu Ke was very excited when he found out about this. He came over and said, "It's so close. I'll come to see you when I don't have classes in the future!"

Xie Mingzhe nodded, and after returning to the dormitory, he logged into Uncle Fat's account.

As expected, Ke Xiaoke sent a private message: "Hello, Uncle Fat, I have something I want to ask you for help with. Considering that I am your crazy fan, can you help me this time..."

Xie Mingzhe chuckled and pulled him directly to his personal apartment: "Tell me, what can I help you with?"

Ke Xiaoke seemed embarrassed to speak, and he hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "I want to borrow a few cards from you!"

Although Ke Xiaoke in the game is also a teenager, he is not as cute as in real life. Yu Ke, whom I met in school today, is only as tall as Xie Mingzhe's shoulders. He is white and clean, small in stature, but has a sharp tongue and is extremely strong in fighting. When he sees a beautiful senior, his eyes light up and he can't move, but he doesn't know that his behavior will only stimulate the girls'... maternal love.

Probably no girl would regard him as a "man", he is just an underdeveloped child.

Ke Xiaoke's voice in the game was modified by the system, but the modification was not significant, so it sounded familiar. At this time, his voice was obviously flattering, and he looked at Fatty eagerly: "Actually, I'm a college student. The school is organizing a competition next week. My deck has barely reached the master level in the game. There are a lot of masters in the school, so I think..."

Xie Mingzhe said gently, "I understand. Which cards do you want to borrow?"

Unexpectedly, the fat uncle was so easy to talk to. Ke Xiaoke was stunned: "Do you agree?"

Xie Mingzhe said in a very good-natured manner: "If you just want to borrow it, of course it's fine. Come to my study and choose it yourself."

Ke Xiaoke excitedly followed Uncle Fat into the study. Looking at the dozens of full-star character cards neatly arranged in the card display cabinet, his heart was pounding and he wished he could rob all of these cards back... He took a deep breath, quickly suppressed the urge to rob Uncle Fat, and stood in front of the display cabinet to carefully select the cards.

After a while, Ke Xiaoke made a difficult decision: "I will only borrow one female snail and one Liu Bei, and I will return them to you immediately after the game!"

Xie Mingzhe still remembers Xiao Ke's deck very clearly. It had five output joker cards, each with extremely high attack power, and was a critical hit and instant kill style of play. Judging from his performance in the guild league that day, this guy was also quite good at this kind of sneak attack and assassination style of play.

He wanted Liu Bei because his deck's defense was too weak. If the opponent controlled him, it would collapse. On the other hand, Nu Wa could mark the opponent's high-HP cards and quickly break through. Once his own cards died, he could also summon a baby to revive. After adding these two cards to his deck, he had double insurance.

Xie Mingzhe turned around and took the two cards of Liu Bei and Nv Snail from the display cabinet, and then picked up Fuxi of group control and Shennong of group healing. He handed all four full-level cards to Ke Xiaoke and said, "Take them all."

"...Thank you, Uncle Fatty." Ke Xiaoke tightly grasped the four cards, speaking incoherently with excitement, "Aren't you afraid that I will sell the cards? Or run away with the cards?" Selling these four cards can definitely make ordinary players rich overnight.

"Don't be afraid." If it were in the past, Xie Mingzhe might have worried that this guy would run away with the cards, but after meeting him in person today, Xie Mingzhe was sure that the guy who was so rude to others probably didn't have such bad intentions.

Besides, if he really dared to run away, Xie Mingzhe would definitely catch him in school and beat him up. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "We have known each other for so long, of course I believe in your character, come on and win a prize."

"Yeah, Uncle Fatty, you're such a nice person." Ke Xiaoke sniffed with emotion.

"..." Xie Mingzhe did not answer, because he was not a good person. What he was doing now was like using meat bones to lure innocent little milk dogs. If one day Yu Ke knew that Xie Mingzhe was the fat uncle, he would definitely feel disillusioned with the image of his idol in his mind. Would Yu Ke turn from a fan to a hater?

Xie Mingzhe smiled and was not worried about the future development - the little puppy was so easy to please, maybe after the vest was removed in the future, if he was given a few more cards, he would turn from fan to hater and then back to fan again.

After leaving Uncle Fat's personal apartment, Ke Xiaoke went to the arena to experiment with the new deck, trying to integrate Liu Bei, Nuwa, Fuxi and Shennong into his own joker lineup and practice the connection of skills.

Xie Mingzhe received a message from another person: "If I remember correctly, you should have started school today, right?"

It was from Tang Muzhou, and his voice was very gentle.

Xie Mingzhe replied: "Brother, I am already in school."

Tang Muzhou said with concern: "School has started and you will have less time, but don't neglect your training. Our team 2 can't wait to see your new deck. I heard that you made a few more cards of Nuwa, Shennong, Fuxi, etc.?"

The Nirvana Guild won first place in the event. This matter has been on the forum for several days. The new cards made by Uncle Fatty are naturally no secret. Xie Mingzhe did not hide it and said frankly: "Having these cards alone is not enough. I will challenge them when I have the confidence to beat your second team players. Please give me another half month."

Tang Muzhou was not in a hurry: "Sure. Come find me anytime when you are ready."

Xie Mingzhe said, "I'll create a small account first. The name Fat Uncle is too conspicuous and people often post it on the forum. It's not so easy to expose my deck when I play in the arena with a small account."

Tang Muzhou agreed: "You should have created a few small accounts to prepare for the future arena. You can name your small accounts anything you want, like mine, 7456789, which no one knows."

Xie Mingzhe shook his head and denied it: "Digital accounts are too hard to remember. I've already thought of a name. I'll add you as my friend later."

A moment later, Tang Muzhou received a message:

Player [Thank you for letting me], level 1, requests to add you as a friend, verification message: It’s me, senior brother.

Tang Muzhou: “…………”

Thank you for letting me win? The defeated opponent would probably be so angry that he would feel suffocated when he saw this name!

Tang Muzhou held back his laughter and approved the application - the little junior fellow was getting more and more naughty when it came to naming.

Originally, he wanted to tell him that he would be returning to his alma mater in a few days to participate in activities and invite him out for dinner. However, Tang Muzhou suddenly didn't want to say it anymore - why not give his junior brother a surprise, or even a scare, then?

***

In the game, Xie Mingzhe added Ke Xiaoke using the alias "Xie Xie Cheng Rang".

Ke Xiaoke praised the name highly: "This is a good name! In the future, when we play in the arena, we can use the name to mock the opponent before the game even starts, hahaha. Where are you, Xie classmate? Let me help you level up."

Xie Mingzhe said, "Didn't you say you wanted to borrow some new cards from Uncle Fatty? Why don't you go to the arena to practice?"

Ke Xiaoke said: "I have already practiced it well!"

Xie Mingzhe was very surprised. He didn't expect this guy to be so aware and be able to master it after just a few games.

Soon, Ke Xiaoke appeared beside Xie Mingzhe's trumpet and said, "Fat Uncle is so nice. He lent me a card when I asked him to. Let me show you the new cards I borrowed. They are all character cards. They are very cool."

He quickly summoned Liu Bei, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Shennong, and shuttled back and forth between the phantom characters, as excited as a child who found a toy. Xie Mingzhe had mixed feelings, and he always felt a little guilty for deceiving this innocent little guy. Why?

Xie Mingzhe ignored his guilt and said, "I've heard of Uncle Fatty before. Is he the manager of Nirvana?"

Ke Xiaoke said: "Well, I just joined Nirvana not long ago."

Xie Mingzhe: "Which guild were you in before?"

Ke Xiaoke was silent for a moment, his voice sounding a little lost: "This is dark history, don't mention it, my previous guild has been disbanded." He walked forward and greeted Xie Mingzhe enthusiastically, "Come to this dark cave, there are many monsters here, and it's very fast to kill monsters and level up."

Xie Mingzhe didn't ask any more questions and followed him into the dark cave. Ke Xiaoke's cards were all full-star and full-level, and killing monsters was as easy as cutting vegetables. Xie Mingzhe followed him to gain experience, and by ten o'clock in the evening he had reached level 30.

Ke Xiaoke suddenly said, "I'm so hungry! Do you have any snacks?"

"..." I ate two big bowls of noodles for dinner. Are you hungry so soon? Xie Mingzhe admired his digestive function and said, "I don't have the habit of buying snacks. You can help me level up, or I can treat you to a midnight snack."

"Okay, okay, I'll come to your dormitory to find you!" Yu Ke quickly went offline, and Xie Mingzhe also took off his helmet.

After a while, he heard a knock on the door and Yu Ke's voice. He opened the bedroom door and was about to go out when he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw a tall, long-haired "girl" standing at the door. Yu Ke stood in front of her blankly, took a step back, looked at the dormitory number as if to confirm, and then blushed and said, "Hey... beautiful lady, hello, I'm looking for Xie Mingzhe, are you his girlfriend?"

Xie Mingzhe's scalp tingled, and he immediately took a step forward. Just as he was about to clarify that he had nothing to do with this person, he heard a low and calm voice in his ear: "Who are you calling beautiful?"

It was clearly a man's voice.

Yu Ke opened his mouth wide, his face blank: "You...you are a man?!"

The other party raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is a male dormitory, and can't you see that I have no breasts?" The boy crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Yu Ke like an idiot, "Have you ever seen a woman over 1.85 meters tall without breasts?"

Yu Ke: “…”

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Xie Mingzhe reacted and immediately stepped forward and said, "Are you my roommate?" He suddenly appeared in the dormitory and bumped into Yu Ke. Only "roommate" could explain him.

The boy with long hair turned his head, his facial features were indeed androgynous, but a closer look revealed his masculine characteristics, his sexy Adam's apple was very prominent, and there was a hint of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, his gaze was sharp, and he looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.

Yu Ke, who is always quick to argue with others, knew he was in the wrong, so he stood aside as quiet as a chicken.

Xie Mingzhe had to smooth things over: "Hello, my name is Xie Mingzhe, this is my friend Yu Ke."

The other party said indifferently: "Hello, Qin Xuan."

Xie Mingzhe said, "Xiao Ke and I are going to have a midnight snack, are you coming?"

He just said it casually as a polite remark, but Qin Xuan actually followed him: "Go, I'm just hungry."

Qin Xuan turned around to change his clothes. Yu Ke looked at his back and whispered in Xie Mingzhe's ear, "His hair is longer than any other girl's."

Some boys in the art department grow long hair to make themselves look more "artistic". My roommate is quite decent because he doesn't dye his hair into colorful slasher style. He looks pleasing to the eye. Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "It's my personal aesthetic, there's nothing wrong with it. He doesn't look like someone you'd want to mess with, but don't say that to his face."

Yu Ke was still terrified: "I know, that look just now was like he wanted to kill me, it scared me!"

Qin Xuan came out soon. After changing into a casual outfit, he looked quite unique in temperament. He perfectly blended femininity and sharpness. With his hair tied up, he didn't look feminine but rather neat. His voice was the sexy and deep voice of an adult man, unlike Yu Ke, who still had the voice of a boy who hadn't changed.

Yu Ke only talked to Xie Mingzhe, while Qin Xuan was silent all the way. After the three of them arrived at the cafeteria, Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to treat them and ordered a plate of barbecue. Yu Ke forgot everything when he started eating, and emptied the whole plate of barbecue in a blink of an eye like a little squirrel. Xie Mingzhe chatted with his new roommate while eating: "I haven't seen you all afternoon. Did you report in the evening?"

Qin Xuan said, "Well, I was late because of something at home. When I came in, I saw that your bedroom door was closed, so I didn't disturb you."

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "We will be living in the same dormitory for four years, so there's no need to be so polite."

Yu Ke just focused on eating, occasionally looking up at the two of them, but didn't interrupt. Xie Mingzhe and Qin Xuan talked about tomorrow's class schedule and quickly became familiar with each other. Xie Mingzhe found that this roommate had a strange temper, so he tried not to touch on sensitive topics when talking, and only talked about classes, and they had been at peace.

After having a midnight snack and returning to the dormitory, Yu Ke continued to actively guide Xie Mingzhe to upgrade, and the two played until twelve o'clock before going to bed.
