Ye Xiao quickly said, "Brother, stop joking, can't you see? They're all good girls. If you don't genuinely treat them well, it might not end well."
Bai Jia quickly replied, "Yes, yes, you're right. And I don't have an account in Bilgewater yet, so I'll register one first. Once it's ready, I'll bet with that beauty. Brother, I must tell you, if I win against her, you can't bet with her anymore."
"Of course, of course, unless you lose, Brother Bai. Otherwise, I definitely won't bet with her. Besides, who is Brother Bai? How could he possibly lose? If you win, don't forget about that money," Ye Xiao chuckled.
"It's a must." Bai Jia immediately said seriously, then quickly handed his Soft Star Sea to Ye Xiao, saying, "Brother, stick with me, Soft Star Sea is annoying you."
"Hehe, Brother Bai is truly the best," Ye Xiao flattered appropriately.
This compliment made Bai Jia even more elated, he genuinely felt invincible in the world.
"Brother Bai, why don't we swap places? You're still not betting with the beauty yet. If you keep sitting next to her, would it harm your glorious image? What if they think you're a lewd person? Oh, Brother Bai, am I overthinking?" Ye Xiao looked troubled, seemingly angry at anything that might tarnish Bai Jia's image, as if he were truly Bai Jia's loyal subordinate.
When Bai Jia met a beauty, his intelligence apparently dropped to negative. Hearing Ye Xiao's words, he immediately nodded vigorously and said to Ye Xiao, "Brother, you truly are my good brother. You're absolutely right; we mustn't damage my image. Let's switch places."
"Actually, it's fine if we don't switch," Ye Xiao said again.
Bai Jia was a bit unhappy now and quickly said, "Don't mess up my plans. Let's switch places quickly."
Ye Xiao smiled wryly, just now he wanted to swap places with Bai Jia, but Bai Jia was unwilling. Now it's okay; Bai Jia himself insists on it.
Of course, this was precisely the effect Ye Xiao wanted. Ye Xiao looked bitter, as if he was reluctant to swap places.
However, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were watching all this unfold.
Ye Xiao then logged into Fei Niao (WeChat). At this moment, Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao's Fei Niao number.
Soon, a stranger added Ye Xiao on Fei Niao.
Ye Xiao was quite puzzled, but when he looked, he found Xia Mingyue's name written there. It was clear Xia Mingyue beside him had added Ye Xiao's Fei Niao number.
He had no choice but to accept.
Just after choosing to accept, Xia Mingyue sent Ye Xiao a number.
"I'm proud now; treating for a late-night snack tonight."
Ye Xiao immediately switched the chat interface to a simplified version and replied, "Absolutely, I bet the late-night snack will be delicious."
"Ye Xiao finds late-night snacks always delicious." Xia Mingyue replied to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao sent over again, "Alright, you win, but can Jinger do it?"
"Not even ten would be a match." Xia Mingyue said.
Ye Xiao was even more assured, but he also made up his mind that if Bai Jia won against Fang Jing, he would have no choice but to take strong measures. Anyone who dared to snatch his girlfriend would make him fight desperately.
But Bai Jia was entirely unaware, still logging into the Bilgewater server of League of Legends, pondering what nickname to choose. In the end, Ye Xiao was speechless that he picked a somewhat ridiculous name: 'Professional Handsome and Wealthy'!
"Brother, how's this nickname?" Bai Jia asked Ye Xiao after deciding on the name.
What could Ye Xiao say, he chuckled and replied, "Brother Bai, you truly have knowledge."
"Absolutely." Bai Jia showed a face full of pride.
Then Bai Jia started a game with a bot, and Ye Xiao stood by watching Bai Jia's gameplay, secretly laughing, thinking this is considered top-notch?
Ye Xiao was genuinely doubtful how this guy claimed to be at Gold Level, how exactly did he get promoted to Gold Level? Is there sponsorship or boosting in this game too?
Still, no matter how, this guy did achieve Super God.
But the point is, this didn't happen against real players, it was just against bots, and Bai Jia was inexplicably ecstatic, making Ye Xiao suspect whether this buddy had his mind stimulated.
About thirty minutes later, Fang Jing turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Hey, are you guys ready yet? My summoner is already level 3."
Ye Xiao immediately praised Fang Jing, "Wow, that's fast, must've played at least two rounds."
Fang Jing didn't perceive Ye Xiao's remark as praise but disdainfully said, "It's against bots, okay? Should I take an hour for each round? Do you think I'm a newbie? Hurry up, log in."
At this moment, Bai Jia beside Ye Xiao immediately turned to Fang Jing and said, "Beauty, don't worry, my round just started; it'll finish soon."
Ye Xiao glanced at Bai Jia's screen and sighed as the second round only started.
The previous bot match took nearly half an hour for him.
With this level, he still wants to challenge the strongest king? Truly gutsy!
Ye Xiao seriously wondered how Bai Jia would react if he told him Fang Jing was the strongest king. To avoid crushing Bai Jia, Ye Xiao decided to keep it a secret.
"Let's not worry about him; let's go first," Fang Jing turned to Ye Xiao.
Today, Fang Jing's main target was Ye Xiao. As for the others, Fang Jing didn't really take them seriously. In Fang Jing's view, Bai Jia was just cannon fodder. If it weren't for the need to win that one hundred thousand yuan, she wouldn't have come here to play with this wastrel.
Bai Jia immediately tugged at Ye Xiao, whispering, "Bro, we have a deal."
Ye Xiao smiled wryly. This guy was really afraid he'd steal his chance at a bet.
Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing and said, "How about you play a random match?"
Fang Jing glanced at Ye Xiao without a word, ignoring him completely.
Another half an hour passed.
Whether Bai Jia was distracted or something else, this game took even longer, ending at 35 minutes.
"Is it over yet?" This was the third time Fang Jing urged them.
"It's over, it's over!" Bai Jia said, a little embarrassed.
Ye Xiao checked Bai Jia's summoner level, indeed it was level 3, and immediately smiled at Bai Jia, saying, "OK, let's get started, otherwise the lady will be displeased, and you'll have to return the money."
Upon hearing Ye Xiao returning money, Bai Jia quickly said, "Don't, didn't I just finish? Let's hurry and get started. I'll create the room. By the way, what's the lady's nickname?"
Ye Xiao immediately looked at Fang Jing. Fang Jing replied coldly without turning her head, "Mr. Rich Killer!"
Fang Jing's words stunned Ye Xiao and Bai Jia.
Ye Xiao and Bai Jia exchanged a glance, and Ye Xiao clearly saw the bitterness in Bai Jia's eyes.
Were they really meant for each other, or eternal adversaries?
Coincidentally, Bai Jia had named himself "Professional Rich Guy," while Fang Jing's name turned out to be "Mr. Rich Killer!"
Just one word off, but worlds apart in meaning.
Ye Xiao clearly saw Bai Jia's mouth twitching slightly.
Bai Jia was quite familiar with the game League of Legends and quickly created a custom room. Soon, a one-on-one battle began.
With limited champions available, Fang Jing chose one of the basic champions, the Frost Archer, while Bai Jia chose the Rogue Mage!
Played well, the Rogue Mage's damage output is higher than that of the Frost Archer, of course, that's if played well.
As the game began, Ye Xiao didn't pay attention to Bai Jia's screen and kept chatting with Xia Mingyue through off-screen chat apps. Occasionally, he heard Bai Jia mutter, "Damn," "What the hell," "No way!"
Every time he said these words, Bai Jia's screen was grayscale.
Previously, Bai Jia's games all lasted twenty or thirty minutes, but this time it was quicker, resolving in 18 minutes.
When Ye Xiao looked at Bai Jia's screen, he was left speechless.
All of Bai Jia's side's attackable structures were destroyed—11 defensive towers, 3 inhibitors, plus the Nexus—all wiped out.
It was practically a one-sided massacre.
Bai Jia was stunned as he watched his Nexus explode.
Ye Xiao intentionally looked surprised at Bai Jia, saying, "Oh man, Brother Bai, how did you lose? You must have messed up, right? You let her win, didn't you? That's too bad; now all the money's gone."
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Bai Jia felt a surge of gratitude, not expecting Ye Xiao to comfort his wounded heart at a time like this.
But just as Bai Jia thought this, Ye Xiao turned to Fang Jing and said, "We can start now; I'll transfer the money once it comes through."
Fang Jing didn't even mention the money but told Ye Xiao, "Are you playing or not? If you keep stalling, it's your loss."
"Alright, since I'm afraid of my wife, let's get started." Ye Xiao said, looking exasperated.
Bai Jia was truly dumbfounded now.
He was shocked by Ye Xiao's phrase "afraid of my wife."
Although Bai Jia was quite a wastrel and his IQ might decrease around beautiful women, it didn't mean his intelligence was infantile.
Now Bai Jia realized he had fallen into someone else's trap.
"Damn it, you're playing me!" Bai Jia was suddenly incensed, slamming his palm down on the keyboard with such force that it broke, showing the strength of the hit.
Ye Xiao looked innocently at Bai Jia, seemingly unaware as he asked, "Brother Bai, what's wrong?"
"Damn it, she's your wife, isn't she? You dared to conspire and fool me," Bai Jia glared angrily at Ye Xiao.
