Chapter 328: Chapter 309: New Event Preview
In reality:
After logging out of the game, Lin Yi realized it was already past six in the evening.
Then, after a simple wash, Lin Yi leisurely headed to another villa.
From a distance, Lin Yi could see smoke rising slowly from the villa.
Upon entering the villa, he saw several people busy in the kitchen, and a fragrant aroma greeted him.
Lin Yi rubbed his stomach; truth be told, he felt a little hungry.
Just as he walked through the door, he saw Chen Ping holding a bucket of tap water, seemingly about to replace the water.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Yi was startled and rushed forward, quickly taking the bucket from her hands:
"Sister Ping, let me do it. You shouldn’t be doing these things anymore."
Seeing Chen Ping’s already protruding belly, Lin Yi couldn’t help but wipe the virtual sweat from his forehead:
"This is too dangerous."
Lin Yi turned to replace the tap water, and at that moment, a kind-hearted old woman emerged from the kitchen, saying:
"I’ve told her to call me for any heavy work, but she insists on not listening."
Chen Ping looked at the two of them scolding her, laughed nonchalantly while arching her back:
"I know my own body. This bit of work is nothing. It’s not as exaggerated as you guys make it sound."
Having finished replacing the water, Lin Yi rolled his eyes:
"In less than two months, the baby will be here. Take it easy during this time and don’t go seeking excitement."
The cook Lin Yi hired was equally excited on the side:
"Exactly!"
"Mr. Lin, you need to really talk to her. You’re the only one she listens to; she doesn’t heed anyone else, it’s terrifying."
Lin Yi glanced at Chen Ping, looking helpless:
"Sister Ping, you see, everyone is concerned about you. Just focus on nurturing the pregnancy. After the birth, and once your body recovers, no one will stop you from doing what you want."
"It’s always better to be cautious, right?"
Seeing Lin Yi still ready to keep lecturing, Chen Ping quickly said:
"Alright, alright, I know. I’ll listen to you all."
Lin Yi chuckled:
"That’s more like it."
"If you don’t start listening soon, I’ll have to hire someone to keep an eye on you."
Chen Ping, slightly touched, rolled her eyes at Lin Yi:
"Why hire? Isn’t your money valuable too? Don’t waste it."
Then Chen Ping headed toward the stairs, saying:
"I won’t chat with you now. I need to go upstairs and gather the clothes; I heard it might rain tonight, wouldn’t want them to get wet."
"Alright."
At that moment, a pretty girl emerged from the kitchen:
"Big Brother Lin, you’re here."
This girl was Jiang Jiaying, the fiancée who had just held her engagement banquet with Shen Yanhua.
Lin Yi had called them over a few days ago to take the last room in this villa.
Considering Chen Ping’s condition wasn’t suitable for cooking, Lin Yi had planned on hiring another cook.
But she volunteered to take over the job from Chen Ping.
In her words, since she didn’t play games, she had more free time to cook and handle housework for everyone.
At first, Lin Yi wasn’t keen on agreeing, but after being repeatedly persuaded, he eventually gave in.
But just like with Chen Ping, Lin Yi also ensured appropriate compensation, which was his bottom line.
In just three or four days, everyone was no longer as unfamiliar as they initially were.
Seeing only Lin Yi, Jiang Jiaying curiously asked:
"Is it just you, Big Brother Lin?"
Lin Yi chuckled:
"Yes."
"I logged off early today; they should be logging off soon as well."
Jiang Jiaying gave a sweet smile:
"Then, Big Brother Lin, wait a bit, the dishes are almost ready, we’ll eat soon."
Lin Yi gestured:
"It’s okay, you go on with your work, I’ll sit out front."
As soon as Lin Yi sat down in the small garden in front of the villa, he heard a commotion coming from inside.
No need to guess, it was clear they had all logged off as well.
Sure enough, in a moment, Ouyang Hao rushed out:
"Boss Feng, you’re here."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but sneer:
"If I’m not here, are you seeing a ghost?"
Ouyang Ou, ignoring Lin Yi’s sarcasm, playfully handed him a bottle of juice:
"Did you mastermind that Succubus Race today?"
Lin Yi was taken aback:
"How did you know?"
Lin Yi remembered that when they launched the Succubus Race this time, nothing in the announcement mentioned him.
Then Guo Shaojie approached, laughing:
"Do you even need to guess?"
"Any major commotion without specific mention from the system is automatically attributed to you."
Zhan Tianpeng, following behind, commented coldly:
"By now, everyone in the game is used to it."
Guo Shaojie teased:
"So now the forums are abuzz discussing the new race, and everyone’s tired of debating about you."
Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled wryly:
"I just completed a task, that’s all. Didn’t really do much else."
"Oh, right,"
Lin Yi seemed to remember something:
"Have you decided who gets the Pet Egg?"
Everyone looked over to Wang Zixin, who was holding hands with Silent Ouyang Jing nearby.
"Zixin?"
Wang Sijie explained on the side:
"We drew lots to decide, and Zixin picked the winning one."
Lin Yi didn’t have much to say about this; this rare Pet Egg could go to anyone.
Anyway, if they get something better in the future, they could always switch.
Giving it to the youngest now, it sort of makes sense.
Then Lin Yi thought of something and told Ouyang Jing:
"When the Succubus Race officially launches tomorrow, transition to a Succubus Warrior."
"Unless you find a suitable Hidden Profession, it’s the best defensive close combat option."
No one present would likely disagree with Lin Yi’s suggestion, and Ouyang Jing was no exception.
She nodded, signaling with her hands.
Zhan Tianpeng translated:
"Xiaojing said she’ll make the switch when the Succubus Race officially opens tomorrow."
Lin Yi was just casually suggesting, and at this moment, Zhang Xinying, Mu Lingxue, and Chen Wei came over, chatting and laughing.
At the same time, Jiang Jiaying called from the door:
"Dinner’s ready."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Ouyang Hao and the gang immediately lit up:
"I’ll go get the dishes."
Guo Shaojie and Wang Sijie also went up to help.
Since there were more people now, the previous large round table was clearly inadequate.
So they moved their meals to a larger dining table outside.
Every meal felt like a big family gathering, very lively.
Like this, some were setting dishes, others arranging utensils, everyone happily busy.
Once everyone was seated, Mo Lingxue suddenly hugged Zhang Xinying and said to Lin Yi:
"Feng Hua Master, I want to book Xinying for the day after tomorrow’s event, I called dibs beforehand!"
Lin Yi, who was eating, was momentarily puzzled:
"The event the day after tomorrow? What event?"
Everyone then realized Lin Yi might have been offline by then.
Once again, Guo Shaojie explained on the side:
"The day after tomorrow, the all-server ’Monster Siege War’ will start. I’ll probably go back to the Famous Clan base to help defend."
Ouyang Hao couldn’t resist teasing Lin Yi:
"You might have lots of people looking for you when you log back on."
Meanwhile, Mu Lingxue hugged Zhang Xinying tight and said:
"I don’t care; Xinying will help me defend the city then. You guys can do whatever."
At this point, Lin Yi, having heard Guo Shaojie mention the ’Monster Siege War,’ was already stunned:
If the ’Monster Siege War’ is starting, does that mean the Floating City is also opening soon...
......
Today’s update is complete.
