Lao Li organized quite a few people this time.

It's only been a few days this month, and everyone's been summoned quite a few times.

After all, it's easy to run into the wrong people if you're too early.

And it's not just a gathering, everyone wants to win, right?

It's like playing mahjong with family and friends. Although friendship comes first and everyone can afford to lose, why not win if you can?

You see, in PVP mode, when you kill someone, the coins are based on the player's total assets, usually 5%.

It may not seem like much, but everyone in this group is well-off, and one slash could mean one or two bags of rice.

Why not give them a good beating?

Besides, it's the end of the version and the end of the year, so this month is really meaningful.

These old players have nothing to do all day except for the summons, and it's time to liven things up after several years.

Lao Li said in a masterful tone, "That's settled then. Let's pick a date in the middle, the 15th. Everyone clear your schedules in advance, how about that?"

Ye Mao Han: "Okay, it's a good time for everyone to come out and take some screenshots."

"Ye Mao Han" has been muted by the administrator.

Lao Li: "Le, young man, don't forget your lesson."

Sexy Uncle: "It's a second bloom, isn't it?"

Second Bloom: "What do you want me to do?"

Sexy Uncle: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Second Bloom: "A big reunion, right? Count me in."

Isn't it just a storage of Wuchu Star?

It's like no one else.

This group is made up of top players, and almost all of them have obtained Ω in Wuchu Star.

The only possibility of not having a storage or having a low storage level is being killed by the goddess.

Orange Orange Can't Wake Up: "@Ghostly Child, are you coming? / Looking forward to it."

Ghostly Child: "No, I have something to do."

She refused decisively.

But in fact, Ghostly Child really wanted to go.

She also has a storage in Wuchu Star, and her realm is not low. In addition to making money by killing people, it's also fun to play together.

But she has to go kill Gu Chi and free the Prophet Mr.

The host personality has been occupied by Gu Chi for a long time, and the Prophet Mr. will be contaminated!

If Gu Chi enters the instance early and comes out in time, Ghostly Child will definitely go.

But if Gu Chi doesn't enter the instance until after the 15th, then she won't be able to go.

Compared to the Prophet Mr., what are money and fun?

Any hesitation at all is a disrespect to the Prophet Mr.!

But she can urge the Prophet Mr.

The next day is Monday, and Ghostly Child has to go to school for class. Bored, she took a short nap for a few minutes, and as soon as class was over, she messaged Gu Chi.

Gu Chi had just finished class at this time.

One is a teacher, the other is a student, and their free time coincides perfectly.

Ghostly Child sat in the classroom: "Prophet Mr., when do you plan to enter the instance?"

Gu Chi was in the office: "Can't say for sure."

Ghostly Child: "Poor thing, can you enter earlier?"

Gu Chi: "Are you in a hurry?"

Ghostly Child: "A little bit."

Gu Chi: "Do you have something to do later?"

Low EQ: Mm, there's a team building event in the middle of the month.

Ghostly Child: /Shy, I just want to see the Prophet Mr. as soon as possible.

Gu Chi: "......"

You might as well say you want to get rid of me quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chi said, "I suggest you finish your own business first, like sending heads or something, I'm not in a hurry."

Ghostly Child: "?"

Why does this guy keep saying she's sending heads?

Without the curse, who knows who will be sending heads to whom!

Ghostly Child changed her tone: /Angry, my business is to kill you, fraud, remember to clean up when you enter the instance!

Gu Chi: "......"

Although, as a person who loves to take a bath, he washes up pretty clean every day.

Gu Chi's second class was in the afternoon, and he was relatively free now, so he could chat with Ghostly Child for a while.

Vice Principal Liu had arranged a new independent office for him, so he didn't have to worry about poking his fingers in the air and attracting strange looks from others.

As usual, Gu Chi was multitasking, playing the game on one side and browsing the news on his phone.

"Swoosh."

[You have a new email]

"Hmm?"

Gu Chi saw the little red dot on his mailbox and thought Xia Ling had sent him something again,

Only emails with items would have this alert sound.

But when he opened it, the sender was Strength 39, and there was a small trophy-like figurine in the attachment slot.

【Oscar Little Golden Man (Epic): Base engraved with your ID, all attributes +0.1.】

Gu Chi: "......"

He took out the little golden man and put it on the table, then searched for a picture to compare.

It wasn't exactly the same, it was completely identical.

It was also heavy to hold, and it seemed to be made of pure gold.

The little golden man sparkled in the light, but Gu Chi felt Strength 39's full resentment.

Strength 39 had added him as a friend two days ago, but hadn't talked to him, and he thought the other party was just too proud to reach out, but it turned out they were preparing a gift.

Gu Chi opened the friend list and messaged Strength 39, curious: "Does this thing also add attributes?"

Strength 39: "Custom made, counts as equipment."

A 0.1 increase in all attributes is not much, and it's not very useful.

Ordinary equipment needs to be worn or used to take effect, and the equipment type of the little golden man is a weapon, so Gu Chi has to hold it in his hand and smash walnuts to enjoy this boost.

Only legendary quality equipment doesn't require this hassle, just put it in the bag.

This is another powerful aspect of legendary equipment, it doesn't take up an "equipment slot" and can be stacked.

The little golden man naturally can't compare to legendary equipment.

But Gu Chi still expressed his thanks to Strength 39.

The workmanship of the little golden man was very delicate, and it should be nice to put it on the shelf as an ornament.

This can be considered a real luxury decoration, equipment that adds attributes is not cheap, let alone custom-made.Conservatively estimated, it could be worth a few thousand old coins.

Strength 39: "You're welcome. I just want to remind you of something, try not to exploit the BUG in the future."

Gu Chi was taken aback and asked, "Has anyone been banned for this?"

He instinctively thought this was advice from an experienced player.

"No one has been banned, but it's not a good thing to do."

"Think about it from a different perspective. Other players have been playing for years and haven't seen a legendary item drop, and you easily got one. How do you think others will feel?"

"You'll easily become a target, and there are items in the game that can steal other players' equipment."

"So, for your safety..."

Strength 39 said seriously, "Next time you exploit a legendary item, be sure to let me know. I can protect you."

Gu Chi: "..."

You're really a good person.

But it's not impossible.

To be honest, he was a little envious of Strength 39, who had such a powerful ability as a "teammate."

Just by switching attributes, it was over 200+ Dao Yun, and it only required a basic interface, which was a brand new BUG.

But this matter couldn't be rushed.

Because in the real world, there was a confidentiality agreement, and it was very dangerous for players to meet offline. If one party had ill intentions and wanted to kill the other, it would only take a few words, and high attributes would be useless.

Although Strength 39 didn't look like a bad guy, when it came to life and death, it was better to be cautious.

He would wait and chat with this big brother for a while before making a decision.

It was just like online dating, wasn't it? You wouldn't meet in person right after meeting someone new, would you?

Even ordinary people meeting each other had the risk of being deceived, not to mention players.

On the other hand, even if he wasn't afraid, Strength 39 might not agree.

Reality and the game were two different things. The Oscar had already been delivered, and if he put on another act, Strength 39 might not be able to handle it.

The morning was spent chatting with Strength 39 and Ghostly Child.

At noon, Gu Chi packed up his desk and left the office. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Vice Principal Liu, dressed in a suit, walking towards him in the corridor.

The usually serious Vice Principal Liu had a hint of a smile on his face today, looking very cheerful.

To read the uncut version, go to [pawread.com].

"Professor Gu, good afternoon," Vice Principal Liu greeted Gu Chi. "Are you going to lunch?"

Gu Chi nodded.

Vice Principal Liu: "Great, I haven't eaten either. Let's go together?"

Gu Chi: "Sure."

Both of them were important figures in the school, but they didn't make a big deal out of it. They ordered a few small dishes on the second floor of the cafeteria and sat in the main hall, not even going to a private room, which attracted the attention of the students around them.

One was very handsome, and the other had a rare expression.

In the eyes of the students, Vice Principal Liu always had a serious face and never smiled.

Someone even took a sneak photo of Vice Principal Liu scolding someone and turned it into various memes, resulting in a disciplinary action.

Vice Principal Liu's stern image was deeply ingrained in people's minds, so it was quite surprising to see him smiling today.

"I have some good news," Vice Principal Liu said cheerfully, ignoring the students' curious glances. He had come specifically to tell Gu Chi about this. "The official recommendation for our school's quota has been finalized and will be announced in a few days, thanks to Professor Gu's help."

By emphasizing the last part of the sentence, it could deepen the impression on the other person. Vice Principal Liu was obviously good at speaking.

Gu Chi was slightly surprised by the efficiency of the Ministry of Education and said with a smile, "Vice Principal Liu is joking. Being selected by the authorities means that our school has excellent overall quality, and it has little to do with my personal connections."

Vice Principal Liu looked at Gu Chi with an indulgent look in his eyes. "You, always so modest."

With a hint of perfectly placed reproach in his tone, it made people feel that it wasn't reproach, but praise.

Vice Principal Liu was indeed in a very good mood today. There were only ten recommended spots for the entire province, and the school being honored with this was a cause for celebration.

He must find a time to treat Professor Gu to a good meal!

After some mutual praise, Vice Principal Liu brought up another matter. "The school has recently hired some new teachers. Professor Gu, do you think we should adjust the curriculum and let them teach a few classes?"

Since Vice Principal Liu personally recommended Gu Chi for the position of professor, he had been learning more about the field of dream psychology. The more he learned, the more he felt that it was a waste for Gu Chi to only teach students.

He even called Professor Luo to ask, and Professor Luo had loudly asked, "He can teach me with ease, what do you think?"

So Vice Principal Liu thought, why not take half of Gu Chi's monthly classes and set up two additional large classes, letting the top students attend Gu Chi's lectures.

Didn't the students all like Professor Gu?

This could also to some extent stimulate the students' enthusiasm for learning.

"Sure, Vice Principal Liu, you can arrange it," Gu Chi said with a smile.

Teaching students or teachers was no different to him as long as he had the time.

"Then it's settled," Vice Principal Liu paused and added, "By the way, at the end of this month, there will be an official dream psychology research and exchange conference in Qinghai City. The scale is said to be quite large, and the theme is group dreams and learning in dreams. Professor Luo asked me to ask if you have time."

"I should... have time?" Gu Chi wasn't very sure and didn't want to commit.

He remembered Xia Ling telling him that Xia Leng usually scheduled her raids at the beginning and end of the month, and it was on weekdays, so he wouldn't miss her messages.

Gu Chi was deeply moved at the time, and then he was criticized by Xia Ling.

"Isn't it because you only have time for us on weekends?"

"..."

It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was just that he didn't send messages very often.

Vice Principal Liu asked, "Should I tell Professor Luo that it depends on the situation?"

Gu Chi: "Hmm, depending on the situation."

He wouldn't urge Xia Leng like Ghostly Child urged him, and he wouldn't even hint to Xia Ling like Ghostly Child did.

It wasn't a must to attend.

In his heart, the optional exchange conference was far less important than Xia Leng's habits.Assuming the exchange meeting was indispensable, he wouldn't ask Xia Leng to change the time; he would just adjust his own schedule.

At worst, he could just watch Qing Chi, the goddess, dominate the battlefield next time. After all, she was his wife and wasn't going anywhere.

When Gu Chi returned home in the evening and had dinner, he entered sage mode, cuddling with Xia Ling on the couch as they binge-watched a series.

They didn't grind for small notebooks anymore.

The Dao Yun he had now was sufficient for his needs. Grinding for skills and then spending money to upgrade them wasn't cost-effective. With that time, it was better to enjoy life a bit more.

Xia Ling wasn't lacking in skills either. These past few days, she had been eyeing the auction house, hoping to snag a few extra slots for her inventory at a bargain.

The television in the living room was on as usual, but they weren't watching; it was merely there to create a homely atmosphere.

Gu Chi glanced at Xia Leng in the study and whispered to Xia Ling, "Next time I'm summoned, I plan to tie Xia Leng into it."

The girl had changed her position tonight, resting her head on his lap while lying down, her two long, snow-white legs bent at the knees and propped up on the couch, resembling a slender snow-capped mountain with a fine crevice, convenient for talking or anything else.

Xia Ling, already aware of Gu Chi's thoughts through Xia Leng's predictions, wasn't surprised when he mentioned it. She just pouted, "Want to see Xia Leng show off her might? I won't go. You can team up with her yourself."

Gu Chi chuckled, "What's the matter, are you jealous?"

Xia Ling huffed, "In my past life, I was a lemon spirit soaked in vinegar. Didn't you know?"

The sourness was off the charts!

Gu Chi replied innocently, "I never said I'd leave you behind."

"Forget it, men are creatures who say one thing and mean another. The other night, I stood in front of you wearing your clothes, and you still thought of Xia Leng. I might as well not be there." Xia Ling seemed to hold a grudge over this, but in reality, she wanted to give Xia Leng and Gu Chi some time alone.

She and Xia Leng were true sisters, twins born together, with a bond stronger than gold.

As the younger sister, Xia Ling naturally wouldn't cling to Gu Chi and wanted to give her sister a taste of sweetness.

Her actions were purely out of affection for Xia Leng and her own magnanimity, not because she felt guilty about anything.

"Really not going?" Gu Chi asked, "It's a great opportunity for a trip."

With Xia Leng around, they wouldn't have to worry much about the mission and could spend most of their time enjoying themselves.

Xia Ling grumbled, "No, no. If you really want to, take us out in the real world instead."

The game was just a game; reality was what truly mattered.

"Alright then," Gu Chi didn't insist.

Thinking it over, the girl was right. They had grown up together but had never really gone out to have fun.

Now that he had more free time, it was worth trying a scenic spot tour for a seven-day trip.

Their sweet cohabitation flew by quickly.

With the constant leap in time acceleration, the middle of the month arrived in the blink of an eye.

That day, Gu Chi finished work as usual and returned home from school.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the spicy aroma coming from the kitchen.

He put down his briefcase, took off his coat, and went to hug Xia Leng, praising, "It smells amazing."

Xia Leng glanced at him, "It's not the first time I've cooked these dishes."

Gu Chi: "I was talking about you."

Xia Leng: "…"

After all these years, she would still occasionally be sweetened by a single sentence from Gu Chi.

Xia Leng picked up the chopsticks beside her, took a piece of meat with a perfect mix of fat and lean from the pot, blew on it gently, caught the dripping oil with her hand, and fed it to Gu Chi's mouth: "Try it."

Gu Chi unceremoniously took a bite.

Xia Leng: "Does it taste alright?"

Gu Chi: "Mmm... perfect, delicious."

"That's good," Xia Leng put down the chopsticks and continued to stir-fry, "How many classes have you taught this month?"

"I haven't kept count," Gu Chi said, "Definitely more than ten."

Xia Leng: "Aren't you going to rest?"

Gu Chi: "Yes, I'll start resting tomorrow."

Although Vice Principal Liu hadn't asked him to teach so many classes, he had his own sense of when it was enough. Once he felt it was sufficient, he was content to stay at home and accompany his wife.

Xia Leng nodded.

Then let's schedule it for tonight.

...

Just to mention, the extra updates depend on the word count. The regular update is 4000 words, with 2000 words counting as one update. Some previous chapters of 4000 words I've only counted as one update. I've said before that I combined updates to get the ten thousand subscription badge, you guys don't look at the word count, do you? From now on, I'll post the extra updates separately. If it doesn't make up one full update, I'll add it the next day, like today and tomorrow, haha (asking for monthly tickets~)
