16: Three women, one drama
Offline.
Lin Ye put away his helmet, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.
"32 million."
Looking at his account balance.
Lin Ye thought for a moment, deciding to pay off the loan first. As for the rest… should he buy a house first, or a car?
After eternal came out.
As a world with 100% real sensory experience, its natural environment and housing scale were far superior to reality.
Although there were no technological products, they had magic tools! The quality of life and convenience not only didn't decrease, but greatly improved.
"A house in eternal is a must, but it requires gold coins and a lot of prestige. The key is that the current housing supply in the main city is limited, and prices are rising. As long as you buy one, you'll profit."
"As for reality… it seems I still need to buy one, and I need to buy it first."
Lin Ye estimated that he probably wouldn't continue his studies later, so he definitely needed a house.
The house in eternal wasn't urgent.
Game currency could be farmed, and prestige also needed to be farmed. There was no need to use cash for now.
Reality here was still in urgent need.
Let's see first.
If there wasn't anything suitable, renting one would also work.
Lin Ye scrolled on his phone for a long time.
He did look at some, but the housing prices in Sea State were indeed absurd.
With thirty million in hand, he could only buy a slightly larger apartment near the school.
No.
Should he buy a bit further away?
Yan Yan could guess the approximate location through the Newbie Village number and then find out his identity. So even if others didn't have Su Wanting as an auxiliary clue, they should still be able to guess roughly.
If someone was truly rich and wanted to investigate, it seemed really not difficult to find someone. If their connections were strong enough, they might even find out with just one phone call.
Fortunately, body type was also considered a cosmetic modification.
With my current appearance and body type both modified, theoretically, I shouldn't be recognized anymore, right?
However, safety still needed to be considered.
So, the house must be chosen in the inner ring, and it had to be a particularly high-end community.
Looking at it this way.
Thirty million seemed to be only enough for a down payment.
Drip drip~
A message popped up on his phone, from Su Wanting.
"Sister Yan will be here soon. The car is hard to get in, so shall we go outside to wait for her?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate."
"No, no, I'm already down. Which building are you in?"
"Building 8."
"It's right next door! Then I'll wait for you downstairs, okay?"
So fast?
Lin Ye got up and went downstairs. As he stepped out, he saw Su Wanting standing by the flower bed.
A white dress accentuated her slender figure, her skin under the sunlight was like jade and cream, radiating a moist luster. Her dark hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her eyes showed a delicate charm, perfectly embodying what pure meant.
Upon seeing Lin Ye, Su Wanting gently waved, a dimple appearing with her faint smile, looking a bit shy.
"Let's go."
It wasn't Lin Ye's first time seeing her, but he had never spoken to her before. To avoid awkwardness, he spoke first.
"Mm~" Su Wanting softly hummed, slowing her steps slightly, walking beside Lin Ye.
"Boss Bai is the owner of ANG Club and entered the game very early, but how do you look like you just entered the game?" Lin Ye asked casually.
"The helmet was very expensive before, and my cousin Shuya was very busy. It wasn't until last month when the club needed to recruit people that she contacted me," Su Wanting explained softly.
Lin Ye: "Is Xia Mo a club member?"
Su Wanting: "Yes."
Lin Ye: "Yan Yan shouldn't be, right? Is she a partner?"
Su Wanting: "You could say that. Sister Yan is my cousin Shuya's classmate. They were both stuck on their second-transfer quest and couldn't progress, so they were planning to level up new alt accounts, which happened to be a good time to bring me along."
Along the way.
The two chatted casually.
But they still garnered many surprised glances from their classmates.
Su Wanting's ears remained flushed with shyness from start to finish.
Seeing this.
The surrounding classmates immediately cried out that the sky was falling.
"Oh no, the School Beauty is dating!"
"Who is that guy?"
"Which department is he from? Let me see if he's more handsome than me, Wu Yanzu of Sea State?"
Finally, they reached the school gate.
By the bus stop.
Soon, a purple Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled over and stopped.
Bai Shuya was driving.
The back door opened.
Yan Yan was wearing a black embroidered shirt on top, black silk short skirt, and red-soled high-heeled Valentino shoes, which made Lin Ye slightly stunned.
Yan Yan was also looking at Lin Ye, her beautiful eyes brightening a few shades.
"Demon Lord seems even more handsome in reality~"
"Keep it down!"
Lin Ye was really afraid she would speak louder and everyone nearby would hear, so he quickly got into the car and closed the door.
"Ah, I was careless," Yan Yan quickly apologized. "But what should I call you in reality then?"
"My name is fine."
"No way~" Yan Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she turned sideways, saying, "How about we keep our own terms? In the game, you are my Demon Lord, and in reality, you are my Little Brother Lin?"
"Is little brother thirsty? Shall big sister get you some milk?"
Lin Ye was speechless.
Bai Shuya, hearing this from the front, shuddered all over: "Can you two tone it down a bit? I'm getting goosebumps all over."
"Oh, and Wan Ting, why are you just standing there? Get in the car."
Su Wanting pursed her thin lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat in the front.
Yan Yan was not at all polite, linking her arm through Lin Ye's, and suddenly asked:
"Does little brother have a girlfriend at school?"
"No."
"Our Wan Ting is so cute, and her temperament is so pure. Does little brother not like her?"
Uh...
Lin Ye was silenced again.
Su Wanting quickly explained from the front: "No, Sister Yan, the school is very big, and there are many people. Although we are in the same department, we don't know each other."
Oh~
Yan Yan showed a look of realization: "So one went left, and one went right. Although they were close, they never had a chance to meet. What a pity~"
"But it doesn't matter, haven't we met now?"
"How is it?"
Lin Ye looked at her questioning gaze, puzzled: "How is what?"
Yan Yan's beautiful eyes darted: "Of course, how is Wan Ting? Do you like her?"
A death question.
Whether he liked her or not, neither seemed to be the correct answer, right?
Lin Ye chose to remain silent.
Yan Yan, however, had no intention of letting him off, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes: "You hesitated, so you must like her but find it hard to say, right? It's okay, big sister is here to make the decision today. As long as little brother speaks up, I think Wan Ting will definitely agree."
Su Wanting was already on the verge of collapse.
Although she had seen Yan Yan many times and knew this sister was very capable, she had never expected her to be *this* capable.
"Sister Yan, please spare me. I still have to study..."
Mm~
Yan Yan nodded: "Studying doesn't affect dating. Your mother sent you to school hoping you'd pick a good son-in-law. Now that such a rare opportunity has arisen, you should agree first, and you can get married after graduation~"
"See, how well this schedule is arranged."
"When I was in college, I only focused on studying, and as a result, after graduation, I couldn't even find anyone I liked, and I've been single until now."
"Wan Ting, you don't want to be like your two sisters, single for five or six years after graduation, do you?"
Su Wanting was instantly speechless, unable to answer a single word.
Bai Shuya, however, softly snorted: "You don't have to drag me into your desire to find a partner. I'm single, I'm proud, I reduce the burden on the country."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan immediately frowned and complained: "It's all you! You clearly like being single yourself, but you're afraid of being alone, so you just had to drag me into being single with you."
Oh?
Blame me for it!
Bai Shuya couldn't help but grit her teeth and say angrily: "Fine, you're a really good sister, aren't you? After more than ten years of friendship, you start to disdain me the first day you find a man?"
"Good!"
"You do the first, I'll do the fifteenth."
"Then I'm not single anymore either. Not only will I not be single, I'm going to snatch your Little Brother Lin away. Hmph, let's see if you can still smile then?!"
Yan Yan's delicate body trembled, and her grip on Lin Ye's hand tightened, but a confident faint smile appeared on her face.
"Big White Bear, I saw through your impure motives long ago~"
"Hmph hmph!"
"Since you want to snatch him, then come on. Just bring your little Wan Ting along. Sisters united, let's go together~"
Lin Ye felt like his head was splitting.
To protect the secret of his identity.
He was truly enduring pressure that he shouldn't be enduring at this age.
Three women, a play.
The ancients truly did not deceive me.
Lin Ye would rather be on a public bus right now than in a Cullinan.
Because the noise from outside couldn't get in at all, and his ears were filled with the chattering voices of the three women.
Speaking of the window.
Although it was dusk and the light wasn't good, he could still tell that the car had entered a residential community as it drove.
If it were any other community, Lin Ye might not have recognized it.
But the Bund Tomson Riviera in front of him was too famous.
"Didn't we say we were going to eat?"
"We are eating, but Big White Bear said that Italian restaurant had no seats, and besides, eating out is never as good as eating at home," Yan Yan replied earnestly.
