Chapter 311 - 311 Cheng Queyi’s First Time
311 Cheng Queyi’s First Time
It was late at night when He Jiong finished dealing with the enthusiastic crowd.
Finally, he did not sleep with any of the women.
He had not been to the tower in a long time and was short on cash. It would be embarrassing for him to ask the woman to treat him to a meal.
Even if he could pick up any woman he wanted.
He also knew why those people were interested in him.
It was important to have self-awareness.
That was the first time he had spoken to Wang Wen since the last time.
Their relationship was not as close as people assumed.
There was no friendship.
Huang Baobao was just lucky.
He Jiong was afraid of being shot if he repeatedly used Wang Wen’s name.
Unless, of course, he became Wang Wen’s confidant.
That way, he would naturally accept all the compliments.
But before that, He Jiong was only interested in making a trade that was within his capabilities.
For example, assisting the woman with a meal.
In reality…
Mo Ran’s arrogance far outweighed Wang Wen’s.
If He Jiong made an appointment with him, the man would only talk to him when he felt like it.
In the end…
Their appointment would have been delayed.
He Jiong felt a little helpless.
It was close to 11 O ‘clock at night.
He sat alone outside the food stall and asked the robot for a few skewers and cheap alcohol.
He had drunk too much at the banquet.
He wanted to have some cheap liquor.
He poured half a glass of water into a clean glass and sipped it in small mouthfuls. He scrolled through his phone and patiently waited for the skewers to be served.
A few minutes later.
The skewers did not come.
But someone came.
Du Keke sat down opposite He Jiong.
She casually tossed the soft sheepskin handbag she had always considered a treasure at the table’s corner.
She did not care if there were any greasy stains on the table.
He Jiong shifted his gaze away from his phone when he heard the commotion. He was surprised to see who it was.
Du Keke did not speak.
She took He Jiong’s bottle and took a big gulp.
After a long while…
“If I were to turn back and agree to your pursuit now, would I look very cheap?” she asked, slowly exhaling.
He Jiong was slightly taken aback.
“A little,” he said hesitantly.
Du Keke smiled noncommittally.
“So, you told the truth. You really do know Wang Wen.”
“I can’t blame you for not believing me.” He Jiong laughed. “Even I find it unbelievable. I can’t believe someone like me can be associated with such a big shot.”
He took a sip of wine and was also lost in his memories. “To tell you the truth, when I first met Wang Wen, I pretended to be a big boss. Someone invited me back then…”
His voice was interrupted by the robot serving the dishes.
The skewers were served.
He Jiong picked up a beef skewer, took a bite, and chewed.
He stopped reminiscing and focused on eating.
Du Keke saw that he was enjoying the food and asked in confusion, “Did you not eat your fill from the banquet buffet? You’re hungry already?”
He Jiong shook his head. “I’ve been drinking all this time. My stomach’s full of water. It’s good enough that I can hold on until now.”
Du Keke’s expression became dejected.
She thought for a while.
She apologized softly.
He Jiong gave her a strange look.
He pushed the plate of skewers in front of her and said, “I don’t think you’ve eaten much. Fill your stomach. It’s not good to drink on an empty stomach.”
Du Keke did not make a move.
She only stared at He Jiong with a complicated expression. “I treated you so poorly, and now I’m here for you. Don’t you have anything to say?”
“What’s there to say?” He Jing chewed on the barbecued meat and looked at her. “I can’t say that I’m familiar with you. I like you for your appearance, so I’m not much nobler than you. There’s no need to call the kettle black.”
Du Keke smiled through her tears.
“The three women hugging you earlier were much better-looking than me. Why didn’t you go after them?” she asked.
“They don’t want feelings,” He Jiong shook his head.
“Then how can you be sure I want feelings?” Du Keke asked.
He Jiong smiled at her.”Then tell me what you want. Maybe I can do it.”
“Me?” Du Keke held her chin and thought for a while, then said, “I want a hero who can protect me from harm.”
He Jing paused for a few seconds.
Then, he picked up a new skewer and laughed. “This sounds really difficult!”
“Right.”
“Yeah.”
The two of them laughed with different thoughts.
Du Keke’s eyes were filled with helplessness and disappointment.
A hint of seriousness flashed across He Jiong’s eyes.
But no one spoke again.
Until the bottle was empty.
Then, they returned to their respective homes.
The supper was finally over.
Midnight.
He added a few more points.
Wang Wen brought Mo Ran, Zhu Xingguo, Chen Hansheng, and Cheng Qiaoyi into the tower.
He was no longer obsessed with the tower.
He calmed down and used some points to ease his financial situation.
Cheng Qiaoyi, who was climbing the tower with Wang Wen for the first time, was very excited.
She grabbed onto the corner of his clothes and refused to let go.
She had the lowest level in the team, only on the 9th Floor.
Wang Wen used his privilege to drag the entire team down to the 9th Floor.
Cheng Qiaoyi’s eyes widened as she looked at the strange scene.
It was the first time she realized she could skip so many levels in the tower!
“This is Captain Wang’s special privilege,” Chen Hansheng explained to her. “No one else has it.”
Cheng Qiaoyi nodded, not fully understanding, her eyes sparkling.
The more she interacted with Wang Wen, the more she felt that he was amazing.
nσνEℓnEXт
As expected of a senior.
He was different from others.
Even entering the tower was so special!
The result.
She did not have the time to feel emotional for long.
Everyone arrived at the 10th Floor—an extreme level.
Wang Wen used another skill that she did not understand.
He could choose a level freely!
The legendary Square Formation that could only be found by chance was easily selected.
The checkpoint opened, and the fog dispersed.
A large square platform stood in front of him.
There were four glowing teleportation gates at each of the four corners, and small bats kept bursting out of them.
A massive cockroach was slowly emerging from the center of the field.
Cheng Qiaoyi became nervous when she saw the famous Square Formation.
However, as a student at the academy, she naturally knew the standard fighting style of that formation.
The other team members were superior to her, so fighting the giant monsters would not be her responsibility.
“Which one should I attack?” she asked carefully.
She had not even finished speaking…
She noticed Wang Wen casually smashing a swarm of bats with his palm.
At the same time, he was speaking to Mo Ran. “Teleportation on the same level means that we will be on the same floor. I can choose any level I have encountered and enter it at a specific location; there is no need for random assignment.”
Mo Ran nodded thoughtfully. He exchanged a glance with Chen Hansheng and said, “If the cooldown is short enough, it can be a very powerful tower attack skill.”
Wang Wen said as he looked at the skill’s information. “I’m currently at Level 7. It has a 22-minute cooldown. I don’t have the money to level it up anymore.”
