Chapter 498: Chapter 498

After explaining for ages, he chose Monkey and ventured in only to realize he hadn’t brought Punishment.

Chu Yan’s Monkey ended up with an execution move.

"Ah, I forgot about Punishment."

"What is Punishment?"

Qin Zhao explained it to him again, and after entering the game, she taught him how to jungle.

She herself chose a Shooter.

From the beginning of the game, Chu Yan’s reactions were incredibly slow.

As an experienced high-ranked player, Qin Zhao would engage in a killing spree when playing with Chu Yan.

The announcements for Triple and Quadra Kills kept ringing out, while Chu Yan was still jungling boars.

After Qin Zhao scored a Five Kills,

he finally deigned to leave the jungle and wandered around outside for a bit.

"Why are there no people in this game? It feels so empty."

Chu Yan’s Monkey accidentally leaped into an enemy tower and nearly died; he hastily scrambled out.

"There’s nobody even in the towers; is this game going to shut down?"

"It’s because they’re all dead, I killed them all."

Qin Zhao was speechless.

Didn’t this guy see her flashy Five Kills just now?

"Wow, you’re amazing."

Hearing Chu Yan’s exclamation, Qin Zhao rolled her eyes.

She opened the stats panel and saw that Chu Yan hadn’t even bought a pair of shoes.

"Why aren’t you buying anything? Not even shoes!"

"I’m saving up money to buy heroes. I want to play with Monkey next time."

The corner of Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, "The money in the game is only for buying current equipment! Once you leave, it’s gone; you can’t use it to buy heroes!!"

Chu Yan sighed; he had been saving for so long.

Qin Zhao saw him looking at what to buy and couldn’t help but think of a mischievous idea.

"Buy Overlord Heavy Equipment so you can regen health by eating grass."

"That powerful? Then I’ll get one."

Seeing Chu Yan actually buy it, Qin Zhao almost laughed out loud.

"Later, if someone attacks you, just hide in the bushes and recover health by eating the grass."

Chu Yan earnestly complied.

"Wow, eating grass really does recover health."

The item called Overlord Heavy Equipment allowed for automatic health regen.

After he bought it, standing in the bushes really did allow him to recover health.

A few minutes passed.

Qin Zhao called for him, "Chu Yan, what are you doing standing there? Come and help me."

"The enemy team of five are there."

"Wait a bit, I’ll come over after eating some grass."

"Are you done yet? You can come to the bushes here and eat grass."

The nimble Monkey in his hands played more like an idiot.

The teammates who saw Chu Yan’s equipment couldn’t help but furiously message him.

Mage: Monkey, why did you buy Overlord Heavy Equipment? Buying this as a jungler, are you out of your mind?

Chu Yan: I need to eat grass.

Support: Take some brain supplements!

Support: Come over and fight the dragon, why are you spacing out in the bushes?

Chu Yan: I’m low on health, I’m eating grass.

Support: Bloody idiot.

"Zhaozhao, why are they cursing at me?"

Hearing his puzzled tone, Qin Zhao patted his head.

"Don’t mind them, this game has a lot of ghost energy. Teammates just like to pick fights for no reason."

"The Support is asking me to come over, doesn’t want me to eat grass."

"He’s trying to harm you."

Wife is always right, wife would never harm him!

This is what Chu Yan thought as he continued to hide in the bushes with low health.

Due to his low ranking, Qin Zhao directly carried him to a win.

Chu Yan had one more kill.

Just when the enemy nearly killed him, he unexpectedly released a kill shot.

At last, he killed the opposing jungler, completing a limit comeback.

The opposing jungler stupidly sent several question marks in the chat channel.

"Zhaozhao, what are you laughing about?"

Chu Yan turned his head and saw her collapsed on the sofa in laughter.

"Hahaha, it’s nothing, I just think you’re so cute."

Chu Yan looked at her half in doubt.

Seeing her laugh so happily, he said, "As long as you’re happy, I’ll play with you when I have time."

"Are you coming or not?"

Qin Zhao rarely noticed that this guy was actually easy to fool.

The two played several more rounds, and Chu Yan was always being scolded by his teammates.

Because during fights, he would always hide in the bushes, waiting to recover to full health.

Unless someone attacked the hero that Qin Zhao played, he would come out to protect Qin Zhao, even if it meant dying himself.

If others were being hit, he would just keep hiding in the bushes and regenerating health.

This behavior, in his teammates’ eyes, weirdly gave off the impression that he was deliberately enjoying the spectacle.

It wasn’t until about two or three in the afternoon that Wen Yi came back.

When she saw the others in the living room all happy together, she coldly returned to her room.

"Why hasn’t Ji Shaohai come back yet?"

The director glanced at the doorway and had the staff call him.

He said he would be back after a short walk, but he returned even later than his wife.

After the call, it was about half an hour later that Ji Shaohai finally appeared at the door.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan had just finished their game, and she glanced at the entrance.

Seeing Ji Shaohai, she couldn’t help but frown.

"What has this guy been up to?"

Chu Yan followed her gaze and also sensed something amiss.

Before, there hadn’t been anything wrong with Ji Shaohai, but now he returned with his forehead shrouded in a dark aura, his body also tainted with a trace of cold ghost energy.

"Is this the Jiangnan countryside? Could he have been entangled by something in the mountains?"

"Judging by his expression, he probably didn’t encounter anything strange."

Chu Yan observed Ji Shaohai’s expression, which seemed quite calm.

If he had been haunted by something, his expression would’ve shown fear.

"Or maybe he doesn’t realize it himself?"

Qin Zhao thought for a moment, then said to Chu Yan, "Why don’t you ask him?"

Chu Yan wasn’t the type to meddle in other’s affairs, but since his wife had spoken, he approached Ji Shaohai.

"Hello, can we talk?"

Ji Shaohai looked at him in surprise, probably not expecting Chu Yan to bother with him.

The two went into the deserted kitchen.

"Your forehead is darkened, did you visit some remote place?"

Chu Yan cut straight to the chase.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Shaohai’s face changed color.

But in an instant, he regained his composure.

"No, I was just walking nearby, why would I go to a remote place?"

Chu Yan felt he was definitely hiding something.

His chilly Phoenix Eyes narrowed slightly, his tone dropping a few degrees.

"You’d better tell me, otherwise, if something happens and you lose your life, you can’t blame others."

"I haven’t been anywhere, how can I tell you?"

Impatience showed on Ji Shaohai’s face.

Clearly, he had no intention of telling Chu Yan.

Probably not wanting Chu Yan to interrogate him further, he pushed past Chu Yan and walked out.

Chu Yan’s gaze grew colder, but he didn’t chase after him with questions.

If it weren’t for Qin Zhao asking him to inquire, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a person.

When he returned to Qin Zhao’s side, she asked him.

"He wouldn’t say, he must have sought it out himself and doesn’t want others to know."

"What could he have sought out?"

Qin Zhao touched her chin, her eyes revealing deep thought.

At that moment, a sudden noise came from upstairs.

A sharp slap rang out as if someone had been struck across the face.
