On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

After being woken up by Liao Ji, Nuonuo rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked up to see the young man who had finally returned home. She showed a hint of relief, but soon, Nuonuo said apologetically:

"Ah! I'm sorry, I wore your clothes without permission."

"It's okay, it's okay, Nuonuo, you can wear any of my clothes!"

Liao Ji was just saying it casually, but Nuonuo seemed to actually continue the conversation, showing an eager expression: "Oh! Really!"

"Uh," Liao Ji was now stumped.

"Pfft! Just kidding. But I can't give this cloak back to you yet. I need to repair it. There are still many parts that I haven't finished."

"Um, actually no."

Liao Ji wanted to say that there was no need to go to so much trouble, as long as the cloak could be worn, it would be fine.

But seeing the determination in Nuonuo's eyes, he swallowed his words and finally nodded as if he understood, following Nuonuo's arrangements.

"Mmm, you're such a good girl!"

"Okay, go wash your hands. I'll go heat up the food too!"

Nuonuo stood up from the dining table, quite satisfied.

Although Nuonuo is quite tall for a girl, she is still a little shorter than Liao Ji. However, even when she stands on tiptoe, she seems to be in the mood to rub Liao Ji's head first before taking the plate to the kitchen to heat it up.

Looking at Nuonuo's retreating figure and feeling the lingering warmth on her head, Liao Ji had a somewhat indescribable feeling.

I always feel

It felt like Nuonuo was treating me like a little brother.

This feeling becomes even more pronounced when the food is heated up and eaten at the table.

"Come on, eat more. You've been working overtime for so long today, you must be starving."

"No, no, don't be picky! Green peppers are very nutritious! Eat them quickly!"

"Is that enough? There's still rice in the pot. Shall I get you another bowl?"

"Don't rush, don't rush, eat slowly, have some water, um, or I'll go make you some soup, it'll be quick!"

Seeing that Nuonuo was about to get up, Liao Ji quickly stopped her, saying that he had had enough and didn't need any more soup, and told Nuonuo to stop nagging him and to eat more herself.

However, Nuonuo shook her head and said that she had already eaten while waiting, and now she could just watch Liao Ji eat. She happily told Liao Ji that for her, watching others eat the food she had made was a pleasure in itself.

After a whirlwind meal, he had actually devoured almost all of the three or four dishes on the table. Even Liao Ji was a little surprised, as he didn't remember himself having such a large appetite.

After finishing his meal, Liao Ji seemed to remember something, quickly rummaged through his pockets, and then took out a hundred-yuan bill, which he handed to the woman opposite him.

"This is.?"

"This is my salary for today."

Liao Ji's job at the convenience store is paid by the hour, and those who work illegally like him are paid on the same day. Today, he worked from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., a total of 16 hours, earning 7 yuan per hour, for a total of 112 yuan.

Not only did Nono provide him with such a nice place to live at a low rent, but she also provided him with all his meals except for lunch and even mended his clothes.

If Liao Ji hadn't been too embarrassed to give away the remaining twelve yuan, he would have given all his salary to Nuonuo to pay off her debts.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll accept it without hesitation!"

Seeing that Nuonuo did not refuse and accepted his money, Liao Ji finally felt a little more at ease, otherwise he would really feel uneasy.

When it came time to clear the table, Liao Ji volunteered to do it so that Nuonuo could rest.

After washing the dishes, wiping the table clean, and re-laying the tablecloth, Liao Ji let out a long sigh and stretched his slightly sore back.

During the sixteen hours he worked at the convenience store, except for the last hour when he was pulled away by the chubby guy to slack off for a while, he stood for the first dozen or so hours the whole time. Not to mention, Liao Ji also diligently wiped the counter, arranged the shelves, and did a lot of work that the chubby guy thought was completely unnecessary for a temporary employee.

This kind of work is indeed a bit disproportionate to the effort and reward, but Liao Ji has no choice. He should do this job well first, get used to life here, and try to find his identity information. Once he has a resident card, he can try to change things. At that time, the "game streamer" that the little fat guy suggested to him might also be a way.

Liao Ji shook his head.

In fact, whether it's a convenience store clerk or a game streamer, or perhaps it's just his imagination, deep down he seems to have a voice telling him that these are not the things he should be doing.

He should set his sights on something further ahead.

Just like

What more important things awaited him?

Is this considered being arrogant?

Liao Ji didn't know.

But at least having a sense of self-importance is better than giving up on yourself.

Thinking of this, Liao Ji couldn't help but feel grateful to Nuonuo again. After all, if Nuonuo hadn't "picked him up," he might still be homeless and wandering the streets.

After taking a quick hot shower after leaving the bathroom, Liao Ji prepared to go back to his room to sleep, knowing he would have to get up early and work hard tomorrow.

However, when Liao Jigang pushed open his bedroom door, he was stunned by what he saw inside.

"No, Nono-sister, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Nono has laid out a mat on her bed, and next to the mat, there seems to be some essential oil-like substance.

This

"Come on, lie down!" The woman sitting on Liao Ji's bed urged the young man at the bedroom door, patting the mat.

"I've studied massage before, but I've never had a chance to practice. Now, trust me, I guarantee I can help relieve your fatigue!"

Clearly, although Liao Ji pretended to be very relaxed in front of Nuonuo, a closer look would reveal that no one could stand for more than ten hours without feeling relaxed; backaches and pains were inevitable.

Liao Ji wanted to refuse, but Nuonuo had already adopted an attitude that once she received the money, she had to "provide service".

It turns out that Nono had been waiting for him here when she readily accepted her hundred yuan.

"Sister Nuonuo, this... this..."

Liao Ji actually wanted to ask if this massage was legitimate.

The woman on the bed was also wearing a nightgown, which was quite proper, but it couldn't hide her stunning figure.

The sheer material perfectly accentuated Nuonuo's curvaceous figure, and her long, fair legs beneath the robe, as she knelt on the bed, seemed to attract attention like a magnet.

But after hesitating for a long time, Liao Ji could only manage to say, "Sister Nuonuo, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"I know! It's precisely because you have such a hard job tomorrow that I want to help you relax! Okay! Lie down quickly, it'll be quick!"

Nono rolled her eyes at Liao Ji, a little annoyed, and slapped the cushion harder, urging Liao Ji on. Nono's body also shook with the harder slap, making her already loose nightgown even looser, revealing a lot of exposed skin.

Row.

After Liao Ji lay down, Nuonuo's massage was indeed very professional at first. Both her technique and strength were impeccable. Although Liao Ji didn't know anything about massage, the sounds from his joints and the feeling of relaxation after his muscles were relaxed made him realize Nuonuo's massage skills. She hadn't lied to him.

but.

About fifteen minutes later

"Sister Nuonuo, do we just not need those pants?"

"Shh!"

"Sister Nuonuo, your hand."

"Shh!"

"Wait! Hold on! Nono! That place is, is it!"

"Shh!"

Liao Ji, who had turned over and was now facing the right side, could no longer resist stopping Nuonuo from continuing to massage him.

But to everyone's surprise, Nono pounced on her first.

The woman pressed her cheek against the young man's ear, her hot breath hitting Liao Ji's ear. Her soft, enchanting voice, like that of a fairy, whispered in Liao Ji's ear:

"When I went out today, I ran into Aunt Wang from upstairs. She specifically asked me what the young man who fixed my water pipe last night was called and how to contact him."

"That, that is..."

"Actually, my sister's water pipe broke today too. A lot of sewage leaked out and blocked the pipe. Kind plumber, could you please help my sister unclog it a little more?"

Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Some water pipes were blocked by sewage, some diligent plumbers were working hard to unclog them, and some upstairs aunties were waiting for the plumbers to come.

Meanwhile, some chubby kids are staying up all night editing videos.

After returning home, Chen Shuo immediately posted the video he had previously saved by screen recording on his phone, in which Liao Ji gave himself an "S+" rating and perfectly cleared the 28th floor of the Turbid Calamity Contract, on C-site.

C-Station is a video website with a high concentration of anime and manga content. Most of its users are young people, so even though the videos are posted very late, almost midnight, for young people, midnight is just the beginning of their late-night lifestyle.

Just as Chen Shuo and Liao Ji said, Falling II is among the top mobile games in terms of traffic.

The video itself already had a large following, and in addition, Liao Ji's completion of the 28th level of the contract was incredibly impressive, with many of his maneuvers being absolutely astonishing and unprecedented for Falling II players.

This caused Chen Shuo's video to become a hot topic in less than half an hour, gaining tens of thousands of views and still growing at an alarming rate.

As the number of views increased, the number of comments naturally increased as well.

[Holy crap! What the hell? You can play like this with this terrain?!]

[Sold all S+ levels on all 28 floors in one go? Mom, come out and meet the gods!]

[Thanks to the uploader! I'm going to copy their homework right now!]

[Brothers, I'm back from copying homework. My assessment is: run! Don't make the same mistake I did, spending half an hour copying and still failing to even replicate the ultimate clown on the 18th floor!]

Indeed, the uploader's control and calculation of the timeline are incredibly precise. Several waves were extremely close; even a slight delay or a second's delay in casting a skill could have led to the complete collapse of the game.

[Yes, and your setup is different, as is the limit of HP. Sometimes it's not enough for a particular operator to just survive; often, that operator has to die precisely to trigger the resurrection and speed up skill cooldown.]

[Damn it! What kind of evil method is this! A suicide mission, huh?!]

[With this kind of skill, you should at least be a top streamer, so why does this uploader have so few followers?]

Are you all blind? Didn't you see the uploader say in the description that a friend played for them?

I'm really curious what the developers of Falling 2 will think when they see this video. Hopefully, they'll immediately increase the difficulty after the 28th floor!

[Don't let the authorities see this video!!]

[@Falling II, @Forest Alliance, @Forest Moe, hehe, their main theme is rebellion!]

[Idiot—if you really increase the difficulty, I'm going to lose my medal!]
