400: I haven't gotten on the bus yet!
While marveling at the strength of the Special Grade Massage Technique combined with the Hand of God, Ye Su suddenly realized something was wrong:
"Wait, this isn't right. What about me? I haven't gotten on yet!"
Yan Ran had fallen asleep, so what was he supposed to do!
As uncomfortable as he was, Ye Su wasn't such a beast that he would wake Yan Ran up right now.
"Fortunately, there are plenty of people at home. If I'm not kept here, there's always somewhere else for me."
He considerately helped Yan Ran onto her pillow and covered her with the quilt.
Worried that Yan Ran might wake up in the middle of the night, Ye Su even specifically added a Sleep Aid Service before leaving the villa.
"Hehe." Returning to the Apartment Complex, as soon as he entered the door, Ye Su heard silly laughter coming from the living room.
"Who is it?" Hearing the door open, the silly laughter in the room stopped abruptly, followed by Chen Xinyi's voice.
"Who else could it be? It's me."
"Oh, it's you." After changing his shoes and walking into the living room, Ye Su saw Chen Xinyi sitting on a recliner, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Based on Ye Su's understanding of her, she must have been laughing to herself just now because she was looking at the night view outside the window and thinking about the house she was living in now, which made her unable to help but laugh out loud.
When Ye Su returned, Chen Xinyi stopped facing the window. With a facial mask on, she stood up and sat back on the sofa with Ye Su.
"Why are you back? Isn't it your turn to accompany Sister Ran tonight?"
"Don't even mention it." Ye Su said plaintively, "Sister Ran has already fallen asleep."
"Heh." Chen Xinyi, with only her eyes visible, winked at Ye Su, "Not bad, you two. Finished already at this hour?"
"What are you thinking?" Ye Su flicked Chen Xinyi's forehead, "She asked me to give her a massage, but she fell asleep right after I finished, leaving me all alone there!"
"Oh." Chen Xinyi realized, "I was wondering why you suddenly came back."
Then, Chen Xinyi removed her mask and pulled Ye Su over with great interest, "How did you massage Sister Ran to sleep? Give me a try too."
Ye Su righteously refused, "No!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinyi pouted aggrievedly, "Why? It's fine when Yan Ran asks, but not when I do?"
"Nonsense. If I finish massaging you and you fall asleep instantly just like Sister Ran, wouldn't my trip back be for nothing!"
"I was wondering why you were so nice, remembering to come back and see me. So this was your plan."
Chen Xinyi coquettishly wrapped her arms around Ye Su's, "Then give me a massage before bed, okay?"
Ye Su put on airs with ill intentions, "That depends on your performance."
Chen Xinyi had already resigned herself to her fate and couldn't be bothered to resist, "I know."
...
11:37 PM. The exhausted Chen Xinyi lay on the bed, finally enjoying Ye Su's massage as she had wished.
"Mmm—" As Ye Su activated the Hand of God skill, Chen Xinyi felt her thighs, which were sore from squats, being quickly relieved as if soaked in a hot spring.
Before long, Ye Su heard Chen Xinyi's steady breathing.
"Hey?" He tentatively called out, and finding that Chen Xinyi didn't respond, Ye Su knew that she, just like Yan Ran, had fallen asleep without realizing it.
"The effect of this Hand of God is truly impeccable. One massage and they're out cold; it's almost catching up to the effect of the Sleep Aid Service."
After first using a Sleep Aid Service on Chen Xinyi, Ye Su took the Lucky Dice out from the system space.
[Host's intelligence earnings for today total 153,047 yuan!]
The Working Cat and wealth-attracting watch could generate about 100,000 yuan in earnings a day.
The remaining 50,000 yuan was the total earnings brought in by Firing at Spectres.
Originally, this total revenue, after deducting the ad spend and the 20% dividend share for each of the three, including Yu Haoyang.
The money Ye Su actually earned didn't even reach 10,000 yuan.
But the system was conscientious, counting the total revenue into the [Host's intelligence earnings for today].
"Gambling with 100,000+ yuan on the dice every day isn't bad either."
"As long as I guess the dice correctly five or six times a month, I can get nearly a million extra!"
Looking at the [passive income] displayed on the system screen, Ye Su smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's guess [5] today."
After selecting the number, Ye Su pinched the Lucky Dice with two fingers and twisted it on the nightstand.
Rolling— With a twist, the dice spun rapidly on the nightstand like a top.
After about seven or eight seconds, the speed of the dice gradually slowed down and finally wobbled to a stop.
"Three." Not having guessed the number correctly, Ye Su didn't feel disappointed; instead, a smile appeared on his face:
"The last 1,500 grams of gold bars in the safe weren't sold today. If I had guessed the number correctly now, I would have suffered a huge loss."
"I'll wait a few days before selling the last batch of gold bars."
After putting the dice back into the storage space, Ye Su crawled back under the covers and went to sleep holding Chen Xinyi.
...
The next morning, a little past 8:00 AM. After getting up and brushing his teeth, Ye Su rode a spinning bike in the living room on an empty stomach.
Chen Xinyi deeply hated this self-disciplined behavior of Ye Su, which constantly created body anxiety for her.
Before leaving, she complained bitterly:
"Working out at home every day—who knows which decent woman you're going to seduce next!"
"I work out every day for the sake of your sexual happiness!"
As a direct beneficiary of Ye Su's soaring Physique, Chen Xinyi was rendered speechless by Ye Su's remark. She could only shake her fist at him, and then, deciding that out of sight was out of mind, she left to finish her last few days of work.
After seeing Chen Xinyi off, Ye Su continued riding the spinning bike.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully triggering the Beneficial to the Body skill, gaining 1 point of Physique attribute reward!]
[The Host's current Physique attribute is 98 points, rated as—Strong as a Tiger!]
"Only two more points, and the Physique attribute will break through to 100!"
With the continuous improvement of the Physique attribute, triggering the Beneficial to the Body skill was becoming increasingly difficult.
The reason Ye Su could still be so disciplined and persist in riding the spinning bike for over half an hour every day was entirely due to his belief in raising his Physique attribute to 100 points.
Once the Physique attribute broke through 100 points, Ye Su planned to take a break and not ride the spinning bike every day.
Buzz— After finishing the spinning bike, Ye Su wiped his body, changed his clothes, and was about to eat breakfast when the phone on the dining table vibrated.
Ye Su glanced at it and found it was a message from Yan Ran.
[Sister Ran: You left as soon as I fell asleep last night, didn't you!]
[You rarely sleep that early; I couldn't just wake you up to keep me company, could I?]
[It was still early, and you fell asleep after abandoning me. I was bored staying there alone, so I had no choice but to come back to the Apartment Complex.]
[Sister Ran: So, you left me behind, and I have to thank you for it?]
[Of course. I used every ounce of my strength last night; do you dare say it wasn't comfortable?]
On the other end of the phone, looking at Ye Su's double entendre, Yan Ran's pretty face blushed, but in an instant, a happy smile appeared on her face.
