…

Ah? Why does something feel very off here?

Judging from her previous experience, Mister Numbers should have been building up to a finishing move to utterly destroy her.

Shi Yao munched on an apple as she pondered for a couple of seconds before asking doubtfully, “But… didn’t you say these words earlier?”

Imitating <111111>’s tone, she repeated his earlier words, “Value? Are you sure that there’s value to your existence?

“Oh, there is. You did deal 10 damage in the match, so there’s still a little bit of value in your existence?”

…

On the other side of the screen, Lin Jiage patted himself on his shoulder to compliment himself on his fast response. Heaving a huge sigh of relief, he took a sip of water to calm down his beating heart.

But the words that soon followed from Shi Yao’s mouth horrified him so much that he nearly choked on his water.

This was a true crisis! Before he realized what he was doing, he ended up blurting words that he shouldn’t have…

Placing the cup of water in his hand back down, Lin Jiage’s mind swiftly churned into action before he spoke up, “You’re right. I did say those words earlier. However, your pauses were wrong…

“This was how I said it earlier…

“Value? Are you sure there’s value to your existence? Oh, there is!

“You did deal 10 damage in the match, so there’s still a little bit of value in your existence?

“However, you interrupted me before I could finish my second sentence. I was going to say that ‘That’s a gross understatement! You are so full of value of existence that it’s already going off the charts!’”

Before Shi Yao could continue picking bones from his words, Lin Jiage took the initiative to explain the later lines as well, “As for the line I mentioned later on about how I can carry you to a chicken dinner even without equipment or items, what I meant is that you should keep your equipment to yourself and protect yourself well. It doesn’t matter whether I have equipment or not. Even if I’m on the verge of death, as long as you give me a gun and bullets, I’ll still carry you to a chicken dinner by hook or by crook!”

…

On the other side of the screen, Shi Yao couldn’t help but realize that this was the first time that Mister Numbers had said so many words to her at once. A frown furrowed on her forehead as she stopped munching on her apple.

Somehow, something seemed to be getting weirder and weirder over here?

This was especially so when Mister Numbers tried to explain himself. She actually felt bootlicking and lackey vibes from Mister Numbers?

As these thoughts surfaced in Shi Yao’s mind, she couldn’t help but ask doubtfully, “Why do I feel like you are acting a little weird today? It feels like something is really off over here…”

“Is it?” It didn’t take long for <111111>’s voice to sound through the earpiece. His voice was as elegant and refreshing as ever.

But the keen Shi Yao could sense a hint of tension in Mister Numbers’ voice. It felt like… cautiousness? He seemed to be a little cautious in the way he spoke, as if guarding against something.

Shi Yao was just about to reply affirmatively to the question when she suddenly received a call.

Picking up the phone, it was from the deliveryman. The other party was urging her to head downstairs to collect her package.

But other than the huge snack care package she had bought off the net just yesterday night, she didn’t recall buying anything else recently! Furthermore, she had been keeping close track of the huge snack care package, and the distributor hadn’t even released the goods yet…

The perplexed Shi Yao hung up the phone and began making her way out of her dorm. At the same time, she sent a private message to <111111> via WeChat:?[I’m heading downstairs to collect a package.]

Mister Numbers’ response was very concise:?[Okay.]

After receiving the response, Shi Yao kept her phone and began rushing down the stairs.

The package for her was huge. When she signed the delivery slip, she noticed that there were no details written on it other than her address. At that moment, her wariness deepened.
