Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

"You played a game and killed yourself?" Qi Yuzhe asked in surprise.

Han Che took a sip of water, as if recounting a long-ago event, "Yeah, I was making porridge at a high intensity every day. When I closed my eyes and woke up, I was in Tidal Prison."

"Aren't you working? Where do you find so much time to play games?" Qi Yuzhe asked.

"Ugh! Don't even mention it! I don't have any respectable jobs, I'm just a porridge vendor."

Upon hearing the word "escort," Qi Yuzhe propped himself up on his elbows. "You're on an escort mission too?"

Han Che paused, holding his cup, and asked, "What do you mean? You're also doing escort work?"

Qi Yuzhe sat up from the sofa, as if his drowsiness had vanished instantly. "Just kidding, don't you understand Demon King's Protection?"

Upon hearing this, Han Che gave a disdainful smile, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "You, a 'good-for-nothing' who only knows how to study all day, dare to call yourself the Demon King's Protector? What about us, who can fight for 20 hours a day out of 24?"

"So you can really hold out?" Qi Yuzhe raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Since you say you're the Demon King's protector, let me ask you, what's the highest salary you've ever earned on a single deal?"

Han Che crossed his arms and said, "Tch, don't scare your little kid if I tell you. The orders I placed before I transmigrated were worth 300,000 each." As he said this, he deliberately raised his chin in a provocative manner.

After Han Che finished speaking, Qi Yuzhe remained silent.

Han Che was puzzled and turned to look at Qi Yuzhe beside him, only to find him looking shocked.

"Scared you, kid? Don't think you're so great just because you're a top student. Our kind of escort work is very lucrative..."

"Kill them all?" Qi Yuzhe suddenly spoke, interrupting Han Che.

Han Che was stunned. What did this mean? He was being asked to open the box after just a few words?

The "thoroughly kill" that Qi Yuzhe mentioned was none other than Han Che's online name from his previous life when he was a bodyguard.

He has some fame in the gaming industry, but not to the point that any colleague can immediately recognize him.

Han Che reacted a beat too slowly, his eyes widening in surprise. "Holy crap, no way... you're Seven?"

Hearing the other person also reveal their online name, Qi Yuzhe finally realized that the person in front of him was the teammate who had accompanied him on his journey before he transmigrated.

"You swindled 15 from me!" Qi Yuzhe grinned, his face starting to resemble his appearance in Tide Prison.

"You're talking nonsense! You're the one who stole my money!" Han Che pointed at Qi Yuzhe's nose and cursed.

"So that's why your tactics looked so familiar yet so bizarre! It's you!" Qi Yuzhe gritted his teeth. "You're always ignoring orders and recklessly charging around!"

"I said, how come you can actually suck up to those fans? That's definitely your old job!" Han Che retorted, not to be outdone.

"Damn it, if it weren't for me, your dad, trying to appease the boss, he would have been driven away by your stupid brain!" Qi Yuzhe cursed. "You can shut the boss up with just a few words!"

"You have the nerve to say that? All you do in the voice chat is call me 'banban' this and 'banban' that! It's making me unable to even hear your footsteps!"

"In the CEO's office, you stand in the middle and pull on either side. What's the point of listening to footsteps? You always just jump around anyway, what's the difference? Damn it, I can't stop you no matter how much I call you!"

"Just tell me, did I kill anyone or not!"

"He killed someone, and he can't even fasten the parts properly! I have to take care of his bag!"

The two of them were in the living room, almost standing on the sofa, arguing back and forth, getting more and more heated.

In the end, their heads were almost touching, and they were panting heavily.

A moment later, the two of them stopped their stances and burst out laughing.

"It really is you..." Han Che said with a smile.

"I should have known," Qi Yuzhe laughed, "Your mad dog fighting style is too iconic!"

Their fists collided in mid-air, the two exchanged a smile, and sat back down on the sofa.

"So what's this? A small world?" Han Che asked.

"I guess so. Maybe even God wants you to pay back that 15 yuan I owe you."

"Damn it! Don't even mention it. Wasn't it me, your dad, who resurrected you the first time you died? It cost 30!" Han Che said irritably.

Qi Yuzhe paused, then added with a hint of arrogance, "At least you have a conscience."

Han Che rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "So how did you die? How did you end up transmigrating too?"

Qi Yuzhe sighed, "I have no recollection of anything. I woke up here. I probably died suddenly, just like you."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you young people these days aren't very healthy, so young." Han Che clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"Come on, you're not that much older than me." Qi Yuzhe rolled his eyes at him. "But how did you manage to get through it all?"

Han Che scratched his head. "How else can we get through this?"

"You paid 15 to come, but it costs 30 to revive you. What's going on?" Qi Yuzhe asked.

"Damn it, if we don't die, we won't need to be resurrected!" Han Che cursed.

Qi Yuzhe was taken aback. He himself had transmigrated, and he knew the helplessness and tension one felt when first transmigrating.

Especially after hearing that there was no room for error and that he only had one life, and then seeing the enemy's brains and blood splattered everywhere, the sense of fear was overwhelming.

"You persisted until...?" Qi Yuzhe then asked curiously. If Han Che and he still had the same relationship as before, he might not have felt comfortable inquiring about the other person's privacy.

But after realizing that the other person was that "brainless" teammate he had worked with for a long time, he unconsciously relaxed a lot.

"It was around after I entered the player world that I contacted Xiaobai, sold her some weapons and equipment, and got a lot of money. Only then did I feel more at ease."

Han Che recalled the past with a sigh. Those memories were not that long ago, but now they felt somewhat distant.

"You don't know, back then we had nothing," Han Che looked up at the dark ceiling, "and we were afraid of dying, so we could only hide, hahaha."

"A map boss like you having to lead a bunch of underlings to do pedicures? How pathetic!" Han Che chuckled. "Luckily, my underlings are all very capable, especially Shi Ding. With him around, there won't be any problems! He's incredibly reliable!"

"It wasn't until I got my first pot of gold from Xiaobai and was able to revive that I was willing to go all out."

Qi Yuzhe listened silently to Han Che's words, and only spoke up after he stopped, "This Sister Xiaobai, is she really your white moonlight?"

"Huh? Is this considered a 'white moonlight'?" Han Che was taken aback.

Qi Yuzhe raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You're quite capable to have your white moonlight risk her life to willingly lie on top of you and shield you from the fire."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Han Che didn't understand this sentence.

"You didn't know?" Qi Yuzhe stared into Han Che's eyes, "During the evacuation of the dam elevator, weren't you shot and fell down?"

Han Che seemed to feel again the cold touch of drops falling on his face through his blurred vision.

"Said shot a burning arrow, which flew toward you with extreme precision."

"Little White jumped on top of you to shield you, and the Burning Arrow pierced her back."

"What?" Han Che's face was full of disbelief.

Looking at Han Che's expression, Qi Yuzhe understood that Han Che really didn't know what had happened.

"And then?" Han Che's voice trembled slightly.

"The fire set her on fire," Qi Yuzhe said as calmly as possible.

She didn't move.

"Until the evacuation fails."
