When Qin Yang saw that He Jin was happy, it was as though he had drunk honey. His entire body was about to float.
"How much? Repair fees. "He Jin suddenly thought of this.
Qin Yang replied, "No need."
"Huh?" He Jin didn't quite believe him.
"Didn't I already say it's a friend I know? It's free. Just treat me to a meal."
He Jin hurriedly said, "Then I'll treat him!"
Qin Yang looked straight ahead and refused again. "There's really no need. I've already treated him."
He Jin said, "Then … how about I treat you to supper?"
Qin Yang laughed. "Why are you in such a hurry to thank me?"
He Jin thought, Isn't this what I should be doing? Otherwise, I don't know when I'll be able to repay Qin Yang's favor … He really wanted to ask why Qin Yang was so nice to him, but he was afraid that Qin Yang would give him an answer he couldn't answer. So, he could only think of a way to repay him. He didn't want to owe him anything.
Qin Yang finally relaxed when He Jin insisted. "That's fine. I haven't had dinner yet anyway."
He Jin was shocked. "Why didn't you have dinner?"
Qin Yang glanced at the helmet. "I ran around all day to fix this for you."
He Jin felt even more guilty and grateful when he heard this …
In the end, Qin Yang chose a roadside barbecue stall. He didn't think it was dirty. The two sat on a small folding stool and ordered a bunch of skewers. They chatted as they ate. After they finished eating, He Jin hurriedly took out his salary from his pocket. It was a total of three to four hundred yuan. He held it in his hand and looked up at the boss. "How much is it? I'll pay." He looked like he was afraid that Qin Yang would snatch it from him.
The lights of the passing cars flickered, illuminating He Jin's delicate face. Qin Yang enjoyed every second of their time together. He greedily watched the other's little expressions and felt his heart swell. He liked him even more than when he first found out that he was Ah Jin.
It was almost eleven by the time they got home after supper. Qin Yang's family had already gone to bed, so the two didn't talk much.
He Jin tiptoed back to the guest room and quickly washed up before lying on the bed and putting on the helmet.
Everything went smoothly when he logged in, and there were no problems. He Jin went online again after three days, but he felt as if three autumns had passed. He was as excited as playing holographic online games for the first time.
Shang Huo's name was lit up. He Jin did not send any message. Instead, he anxiously used "Shadow Follower" to fly to his side. After the fog dispersed, He Jin found himself in his home in the Water Song Building. However, Shang Huo was not the only person standing in front of him. There was also Shishui, His Highness the Ninth Highness, Great Leftover Equaling Heaven … and even three strangers he had never seen before.
Shang Huo introduced them to him. They were the three new members of the team. The girl in the ice blue dress was the Level 99 Demon Healer "Bright Moon". Like all the female players, she had the standard appearance of a beauty. The silver-robed man with black hair was the Level 99 Demon Curse Master "Freezing Heaven and Earth". This person's in-game character looked a little rough and wild. The last one was the Level 98 Demon Archer "Great Roc Spreading Wings". After the three zones' expert leaderboards were combined, these three were also experts on the leaderboards.
Everyone was talking at once. "Ah Jin, you're here!" "I haven't seen you in a long time. Have you been busy these few days?" "I heard that you've become a celestial pet?" "Is this Heartless' wife?" Even Glutinous Rice Ball was chirping and excitedly flying around He Jin …
He Jin felt the enthusiasm of his friends in the game. His heart was burning. Other than Shang Huo, he had not seen the others for more than three days. After returning to Q City, he always sneaked in at night, so he almost missed them every day.
He greeted them one by one and realized that they did not seem to know that his helmet had been smashed. He asked Shang Huo in a low voice, and Shang Huo replied in a private message, "I didn't tell them the reason."
The other party's considerate concealment was very considerate of He Jin's face. The character in the game could feel He Jin's inner feelings and was instantly moved to tears …
"Let's cut the nonsense. Since everyone is here now, let me introduce the competition in ten days." When Shang Huo spoke, everyone immediately quietened down. "The registration will end the day after tomorrow. The officials will arrange the competition schedule. From what I can see, there will be no less than ten teams. They will fight each other in pairs, and the winner will advance to the next round. The competition schedule has already been made public. There will be a total of four rounds. The first round will be a battle between celestial pets, the second will be a battle between a spiritual pet and a tamer, and the third will be a battle between a single god or demon without a pet. Every win in the first three rounds will earn you one point. The last round will be a team battle.
Everyone had actually more or less checked these rules. Shang Huo mainly told them to He Jin, who had been absent for the past few days. "The members for the first three rounds are temporarily uncertain. For the battle between celestial pets, Shishui and I will take Ah Jin and Liluo to train separately. For the single battle, we may choose Ninth Highness, Wild Crane, or One Thought. You guys can train and prepare yourselves …"
After quickly saying all this, Shang Huo asked again, "The name of the battle team is now set to be 'Affection Battle Team'. It means poetic affection. Does anyone have any objections?"
One Thought Cold World said, "Affection? It doesn't seem imposing enough. How about changing the word 'Affection' to the word 'Yi' with a little bit of a cross? " This person's pronunciation was very similar to that of an uncle, with a hint of desolation. It was especially fitting with the temperament of his name.
When everyone heard this, they felt better than before. They all expressed their agreement to the change.
"Alright, the final name list has been confirmed. I will submit the registration form tonight. Everyone can confirm that for the ten days starting from the 25th of February, you will be online from 7 to 10 every night."
The few of them had originally planned to go offline after the meeting, but now that He Jin had come online, a new member suddenly asked curiously, "Wuqing, your wife is so mysterious. Since everyone is here now, can you let us see how powerful she is?"
This time, the one who spoke was "Great Roc Spreading Wings." He Jin was stunned. He felt that this person's voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
When they heard him say this, everyone immediately started to make a ruckus. After all, they hadn't seen He Jin in the team practice before. Usually, they only heard Shang Huo train him, so they didn't know how strong he was now.
"PK between humans and pets in the arena? Or the Immortal Pet Arena? "Shang Huo was very generous and didn't hide anything.
Panda-shaped Liluo curled up her body and stomped her feet. "I'll do it, I'll do it! I want to PK with A Jin!"
"Then let's go to the arena. Let these two little fellows try first," Shishui said as she flew up.
The corner of He Jin's mouth twitched … Two little fellows? He was much bigger than Liluo …
Everyone lined up and flew to the arena. He Jin could fly now, so he didn't need to summon a mount. He was shoulder to shoulder with Shang Huo. He was even afraid that Glutinous Rice Ball would fall, so he took the initiative to hug it, just like how Shang Huo used to hug his ferret form.
The group of people laughed and chatted as they headed to the arena. As they flew, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them. They were all dressed in black and gold, and the atmosphere was solemn. They seemed to be a team.
But very quickly, someone recognized them — — "It's Yiyi and the others!" His Highness Ninth exclaimed.
Everyone gradually quietened down. The sky was so big, but they had to meet again. He Jin thought that the two groups would pass each other awkwardly like last time, but unexpectedly, this time, when they were closest to each other, someone launched an attack … A flame bomb flew straight towards He Jin from not far away!
He Jin nimbly dodged and dodged the attack, but he didn't expect that there would be two more. He wasn't mentally prepared to fight, and with this sneak attack, he was hit in the back twice and instantly lost his balance!
"F * ck, they're attacking!" Da Peng spread its wings and cried out. The two groups instantly tensed up, and in just a few seconds, they were fighting each other in the air!
Glutinous Rice Ball let go of He Jin the moment he was attacked, and roared angrily to protect his father. He Jin took the opportunity to regain his balance, and just as he was about to look at the situation, a huge ice ball suddenly flew towards him from behind — — it was Luo Hua Yiyi!
Shang Huo wanted to protect Ah Jin immediately, but he was surrounded by 'Engendas' and 'I am Erlang Shen' the moment the battle began. The latter was the second strongest player in the Haagen-Dazs team. He hurriedly called out to Shishui, but Shishui was also fighting with another person and couldn't get away.
He Jin had just learned how to fly not long ago, so he had no experience in fighting in the air. Moreover, he was in human form and not a ferret. The ice and snow attacks behind him came one after another, and he almost had no way of fighting back. In the chaos, He Jin saw that his Glutinous Rice Ball had already been frozen by an ice ball, and couldn't move in the air. In a moment of desperation, He Jin muttered "Transform", but he forgot that he was in the air. After transforming into a ferret, he lost his ability to fly and instantly started to fall towards the mortal world!
Shang Huo, who was fighting with Haagen-Dazs and the others, saw this scene from the corner of his eyes. He panicked and shouted, "He Jin — —!"
