Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"We're back, the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

Chen Nian said solemnly.

Beside her, Qiuya forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Zhao, it seems I made a mistake!"

She hadn't quite recovered from the shock yet. Who would have thought that the handsome young man beside her was the world's strongest player?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yixue's eyes remained fixed on Chen Nian.

They are even more persistent and determined than before.

"You just won't say a word."

"Miss Zhao... I respect and understand your feelings for that person, but we also need to be realistic. How could I, Chen Nian, possibly compare to him?"

Qiuya chimed in, "That's right, Sister Zhao, don't worry about it."

"Where are the epic-level equipment materials you used to craft your gear? I just checked, they dropped from a world boss a while ago."

Zhao Yixue stared intently; it was rare for her to speak so many words at once.

Chen Nian was stunned on the spot and subconsciously looked at Lao Cao.

Old Biden sold me out?!

How could I have forgotten about that...?

"Miss Zhao, I got these equipment materials by sheer luck. As you know, anyone who participates in the boss raid has a chance."

Why won't you admit it?

"I'm really not..."

Don't you like me?

Zhao Yixue spoke the most girlish words with the calmest expression.

"Which male gamer in the world doesn't like Luo Xue? You're simply the goddess in the hearts of all of us male gamers! I'll have to ask you for an autograph later, haha."

Seeing that Chen Nian still refused to admit it, Zhao Yixue's gaze finally fell to her toes.

"I'm not that bad either..."

At this moment, this woman, who possessed beauty, wealth, and strength, seemed somewhat forlorn.

In fact, her childhood was very lonely.

Life surrounded by flowers, applause, praise, and adulation feels unreal.

Later, by chance, she came across the globally popular game "Calamity" and became so engrossed in the arena that she unknowingly reached the pinnacle where no one could defeat her.

Until I encountered "Silence".

Their connection began with an arena battle...

"I heard you have a girlfriend."

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded.

Zhao Yixue gave a soft "hmm".

Just then, her phone rang, and she picked it up to answer the call.

"Miss, you're back? We've completed all the preparations for the advancement. This time, we've gathered the full strength of the Zhao family; we're confident we can pass the Calamity-level advancement!"

"not yet."

"Come back quickly, Miss! You said you were going to see a friend, and that's why the master agreed to let you go out for a few days. We can't delay any longer."

"understood."

Chen Nian understood what it meant after listening for a moment.

It turns out that Zhao Yixue has already reached level 99 of Tier 1 and is preparing to unlock her Tier 1 gene lock and advance to Tier 2.

That would be a leap in power. If I could advance to the second tier before the Blood Moon Calamity, I would be more confident in fighting those monsters.

I didn't expect this girl to level up so quickly...

However, advancing in rank is risky.

There are five difficulty levels for advancement.

Normal, Hard, Abyss, Hell, Calamity!

The higher the difficulty of the challenge, the stronger the ability will be after the gene is released. The truly top-level experts will choose to challenge the "Calamity Level" advancement, including Chen Nian.

But reality is different from games.

In the game, you can try again an unlimited number of times if you fail a promotion challenge.

In reality, failing a challenge... might mean death, with no second chance.

Therefore, Zhao Yixue chose to meet Buyu in person before her promotion, because even she wasn't entirely confident of a successful promotion.

"I'm leaving."

Zhao Yixue turned to leave.

Chen Nian gave Qiu Ya a wink, signaling her to bring Lao Cao along and follow, as it would be best to leave together now, but no one dared to stop her.

........

Let's go back to an earlier time.

Adhering to the principle that the secretary does everything when there's work to do and nothing else, Liu Xingchen was still sleeping in bed with his female secretary.

Although the "younger brother" Chen Nian was proven wrong the first two times, as the older brother, he quickly rallied and found a new business opportunity.

Invest in "Superhuman" company!

Liu Xingchen was certain that this was a project with great potential.

What's more, this time several bosses jointly invested, and the big boss behind them is "Brother Huo," a local tyrant in Linhai City. Almost no one in this area dares to challenge him!

It's incredibly stable; there's absolutely no chance of it going wrong.

"Manager Liu, something terrible has happened! A powerful figure from Huo Lin is causing trouble, and they say no one can stop them!"

"What?"

Liu Xingchen was shocked.

Who the hell is so reckless as to dare to wreck Huo Lin's place? Don't they know this is Huo Ge's business?

"Quickly, gather all the strongest warriors under our command to help! We can take this opportunity to show off in front of Boss Huo and gain his favor, which will make our future much easier."

"clear!"

Liu Xingchen was incredibly excited; this was definitely a rare opportunity.

.......

At the entrance of Huolin Company.

Several black minivans were parked haphazardly in the square.

Besides the bosses in their neat suits, there are also their elite superhumans!

At a glance, there were about a hundred people.

"Damn it, who's got the guts to come and cause trouble on Fire Scale's territory this early in the morning?"

"Get out of my way, you nobody! I want to see who's asking for it!"

The onlookers were all driven away, and the huge square was filled with elite superhumans; a great battle was about to break out.

"My goodness... I've never seen anything like this before..."

"With so many extraordinary individuals gathered here, it's likely that someone will die!"

"Quickly, contact the law enforcement agency!"

Liu Xingchen also got out of the car, leisurely took off his sunglasses, and leaned against the car window to wait.

"They're out!"

Someone shouted, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Zhao Yixue was walking at the front, followed by Chen Nian and his daughter Qiu Ya.

When Qiuya and her father saw the huge scene outside, they were both shocked!

Dozens of cars were parked haphazardly in front, almost blocking the entire square.

There were approximately one hundred people present, all of whom had unfriendly expressions...

If it were anyone else, they would probably be so scared by this terrifying scene that their legs would go weak!

But after a brief shock, Qiuya quickly calmed down.

With two powerful figures like Luo Xue and Buyu by my side... is there anything to be afraid of?
