A few minutes later, Ye Muli walked out of the door with a melancholy look on her face. Liu Nian glanced at her watch and thought, "Not bad, she actually lasted for two minutes."
"From today onwards, you're a grown-up." Liu Nian wanted to give him a flick on the forehead, but in the end, she patted him on the shoulder instead.
"However, two minutes is still a bit short. Why don't you see a doctor? It wouldn't be good if it affected your offspring!" Before Ye Muli could even feel moved, Liu Nian added insult to injury.
"Waaaaah..." Ye Muli was so overwhelmed by those words that she covered her face and ran forward, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Brother Nian, you're bullying me!" Ye Muli's heartbroken words echoed in the wind.
What do you mean? I'm just telling the truth!
Sigh, young people these days can't stand being nagged.
Liu Nian feigned a heartbroken expression, but the smile on his lips betrayed him.
People would come by from time to time, curiously eyeing Liu Nian standing by the door.
Realizing that waiting for someone shouldn't be done like this, Liu Nian quickly walked a few steps away and left the courtyard.
About half an hour later, Wang Gang finally strolled out and was somewhat surprised to see Liu Nian still waiting for him.
In my memory, Liu Nian wasn't the type to like waiting for others. Apart from being close to Ye Muli, he deliberately kept his distance from everyone else, being polite yet aloof.
There's an interesting phenomenon in interpersonal relationships: if two people talk politely to each other, they must be strangers; but if two people start swearing at each other as soon as they meet, they must be very close.
"Where's that little guy?" Wang Gang took the cigarette Liu Nian offered and pulled out a lighter from his pocket.
"He'll probably run off to a secluded spot and mourn his horrible two minutes!" Liu Nian pulled out a lighter for himself, and Wang Gang pushed it over.
"Hehehe." After lighting their cigarettes, the distance between the two disappeared somewhat, and they walked back together, laughing heartily.
The friendship between men is a strange thing; sometimes just a word or a cigarette can bridge the gap between them.
"Are you and Ye Muli related?" On the way back, Wang Gang finally couldn't resist asking the question he was concerned about.
He was a little too nice to Ye Muli. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Muli looked at beautiful women in a similar way to him, he would have started to doubt Liu Nian's sexual orientation.
"No," Liu Nian replied briefly.
He understood the deeper meaning behind Wang Gang's words. As a gamer and a corporate slave, he only had colleagues and no friends. Although this had forged his strong inner strength, he was still lonely.
Ye Muli's appearance changed him. For the first time in his life, someone had come into his life who depended on him so much, which made him happy. He wanted to take care of him as best he could, and that was all.
This is something that's hard to explain in words. Perhaps it's true what He Zeyu said: he subconsciously treats Ye Muli like a son.
They made their way back to their lodgings for the night. Before they even entered, Yang Li mysteriously pulled the two aside and asked, "Xiao Ye locked herself in her room as soon as she got back and hasn't even eaten. What's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Liu and Wang exchanged a glance, barely managing to suppress their laughter.
Wang Gang put his arm around Yang Li's shoulder and whispered something in his ear.
Yang Li grinned mischievously after hearing this, saying that he was in a similar situation and it wasn't anything shameful.
After much coaxing and persuasion, everyone finally managed to coax Ye Muli out of the room. Then, under the glares of the three women, he sat down to eat with a forced smile.
...
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Axe Gang in D City.
Unlike the cheerful and harmonious Changhen Bieli mercenary group, Liang Kun, the leader of the Axe Gang, had a rather solemn expression.
The reason was simple: he had already received the message sent by the dog, who was on his way to escort the goods.
In the letter, Gouzi wrote that his vassal mercenary group was apparently wiped out in the night by a person named Liu Nian, which made Gouzi wonder about the strength of this person named Liu Nian.
The caravan he had escorted had traveled to cities A and B, and the news they brought back was that there was indeed a formidable figure there named Liu Nian, and it was said that he was the one being announced to the world.
However, he doubted whether the city lords would really be willing to let such a person go if such a person really appeared in cities A and B.
Furthermore, there are still several questions that need to be answered.
Firstly, the caravan members explicitly stated that it was a one-eyed man dressed in complete black. They had seen him several times from afar and were certain that he was a necromancer.
As for his face, it was hidden under his robes, and no one knew.
Secondly, the person described in the letter is a magic swordsman. Many people have noticed that his stat allocation is indeed light armor strength and constitution build. More importantly, his left eye is normal, so it is very likely that he is someone with the same name.
As for black clothes, that's even easier to explain: nowadays, seven out of ten men wear black because it's less likely to get dirty.
Thirdly, he also has a magic swordsman under his command, but his moves are mainly offensive. However, he mentioned that one of the three choices every five levels is a skill that weakens the target unit.
Since there's no skill tree displayed, everyone is working hard to collect skills, and no one can be sure that he's the fake magic swordsman.
Just like the common warrior class, you can ask around on the street and you might find that their skills are all different, so even his magic swordsmen can't be sure of the other party's true strength.
If the Necromancer can still be played as a melee class, then all other classes should just give up and play the Necromancer!
However, he did say with certainty that if you were a warrior, it would be impossible to solo the Night Stalker Monster. The Night Stalker Monster's attributes are currently far superior to those of warriors, which is a gap that melee classes cannot cross.
Hearing this, he was certain that this Liu Nian was not the same Liu Nian as before. This incident must have been caused by the Crocodile Gang's bunch of good-for-nothings accidentally messing things up, bringing in those nocturnal monsters, and then suffering a total annihilation.
But what if you do win?
It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
He mentally reviewed all the information again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he prepared to light the letter.
Just as he was about to put the letter into the oil lamp on the table, his wife and son came over to greet him.
"Master, it's late, you should rest!" As the wife of the Axe Gang leader, she only cared about her family and didn't concern herself with the gang's affairs.
When the gang leader, who was over fifty, saw his wife, the coldness in his eyes vanished. As the woman who married him when he was penniless, he was still very considerate, even though outsiders called him Liang Kun, the living Yama.
Seeing his son present, he nodded authoritatively and stood up.
"Liang Kuan, the burden of the family is about to fall on your shoulders. You must do a good job." As the young leader who will soon take over the Axe Gang, Liang Kuan has only learned Liang Kun's ruthless methods, not his skills.
But in Liang Kun's eyes, although the methods were a bit harsh, they were still commendable.
Young people are often short-sighted and don't think things through. With a little patience and guidance from me, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Seeing the note in Liang Kun's hand, Liang Kuan asked curiously, "Dad, what's this?"
"You decide what to do!" Liang Kun handed him the letter without explaining.
"Yes, Father." Liang Kuan lowered his head obediently, as the power in the family was slowly being transferred to him.
"Oh, right, call Zhao Tianlin back." As if remembering something, Liang Kun turned around and gave the instruction.
"Okay." Liang Kuan was somewhat surprised, wondering what important matter required Zhao Tianlin to be summoned back.
To win people's hearts, one must first establish authority; he recalled his father's teachings.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Liang Kuan sneered and set it on fire.
Liu Nian, right? Blame it on your bad luck!
