“I only sell my skills, not my body!” Xu Yueguang covered his chest with both hands.
“What are you thinking? I meant for you to come to my place and clean for me. I’m often not home, so I need to find a housekeeper to clean.” Ye Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
“Oh, I see,” Xu Yueguang suddenly understood. He had thought she was coveting his beauty again. He nodded, “That’s fine.”
Ye Xiaoyu was speechless looking at Xu Yueguang’s relieved expression.
How did it feel like it was reversed? Shouldn’t she, a great beauty, be worried about being taken advantage of?
But now it was Xu Yueguang who looked worried about being exploited.
“Phew~”
Ye Xiaoyu exhaled, pushing away her wild thoughts. “Alright, since you agreed, come with me. It’s in an Apartment Complex nearby.”
“Oh, do you have any luggage? Do you want to pick it up now?”
As if remembering something, Ye Xiaoyu turned her head and asked.
“No need,” Xu Yueguang shook his head. “I don’t have any luggage. Can I get half a month’s salary in advance to buy some clothes?”
“Nothing at all?”
Ye Xiaoyu looked at Xu Yueguang suspiciously. How strange, living in the city, how could he have no luggage at all?
“Advancing half a month’s salary is no problem, but you have nothing, so it couldn’t be that…”
Xu Yueguang’s heart skipped a beat. Could she have guessed?
“You weren’t kicked out by your wife, were you?”
“…”
“No, it’s just that my things were stolen when I came to the city to work.” Xu Yueguang squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes. “I’m really having a tough time~”
“Your things were stolen? Alright then, come with me. I’ll buy you some clothes and toiletries.”
It didn't matter who Xu Yueguang was, or if he was a bad person. Even if he was, he was no match for her.
As long as he could clean for her and was pleasant to look at, that was enough.
Half an hour later,
Xu Yueguang arrived at Ye Xiaoyu’s home, carrying large and small bags.
This was a room full of girlish charm.
Three bedrooms and one living room, with pink walls, and cute little bears on the pink walls.
Xu Yueguang surveyed everything in the room: wooden chairs, wooden tables, a luxurious chandelier, exquisite decorations.
On the sofa, there were also cute little triangles and bandeau tops. Hmm, it seemed some strange things had gotten mixed in.
“Ah! Don’t look, don’t look! Turn around, I’ll tidy up!”
Seeing her underwear on the bed, Ye Xiaoyu’s pretty little face instantly turned as red as an apple.
She had gone to advertise for a tenant today and hadn’t expected someone to come so quickly. Her room wasn’t even tidied yet.
“This, how about I help you tidy up?”
Xu Yueguang looked at the somewhat messy surroundings and offered.
After all this time, Xu Yueguang had basically understood her.
She was lively, outgoing, a bit carefree, and very generous to people—the kind of girl-next-door that all otaku liked.
She had bought him so many things; he felt bad if he didn’t do something.
“Okay, but wait a moment,” Ye Xiaoyu looked at her intimate clothing on the sofa, her small face flushed and very cute.
She lowered her head, hugged her panties, and walked into the room. “I’ll take my clothes in first.”
About an hour later,
Both of them lay on the sofa, sweating profusely, their chests rising and falling rapidly.
The entire room was refreshed, finally cleaned up.
…
It was almost evening.
As night fell,
After dinner, Xu Yueguang lay on the sofa, resting.
The sound of water from Ye Xiaoyu showering in the bathroom continued to gush.
Tomorrow morning at eight, the Death Game would officially begin.
Just as Li Guang said, gambling on luck was just the first welfare round.
The true Death Game would come later.
The difficulty would definitely be much greater than the first round.
In the first game, one could choose the difficulty, but in subsequent games, the difficulty of the Death Game would greatly increase, escalating with each round, and there would be no choice—fail to clear it, and you die!
“Oh, right, remember to wear clothes when walking around the living room at night.” Ye Xiaoyu came out after showering, wearing a pink silk dress with a white rabbit pattern.
Her calves were exposed to the air, her fair, jade-like shoulders slightly revealed, with a few water droplets still glistening on them, like a lotus just out of water, charming and alluring.
She glanced at Xu Yueguang, and the more she looked, the more pleasing he seemed. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also captivating.
“Okay.” Xu Yueguang replied casually, not even looking at the beautiful woman who had just emerged from the bath beside him.
He was contemplating whether to prepare for the Death Game.
What fun were women compared to the Death Game?
However, he patted his pants pocket—not a penny left. So, he gave up…
Others wanted to prepare but didn't know what to prepare.
He wanted to prepare but had nothing to prepare with.
…
Ye Xiaoyu was really busy. Even at night, after cleaning up, she changed into a tracksuit and went out.
If he hadn't seen Ye Xiaoyu without makeup, he would have thought she was that kind of person.
But even without makeup, Ye Xiaoyu was still beautiful.
Her loose tracksuit couldn’t conceal her sexy figure.
…
The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and magpies flew south.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, a beautiful night, but alas, fate intervened.
Xu Yueguang looked at the sparrows on the power lines outside the window. At this time, it was the beginning of people’s nightlife.
So he went to bed early.
A true man must be different.
When other men are small, he must be big. When other men are soft, he must be hard!
When others are playing, he must sleep.
Alright, all of the above was nonsense. The main reason was he was afraid of not getting enough sleep and not being in good spirits for the Death Game tomorrow.
A few minutes later,
Xu Yueguang opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
He couldn't sleep…
Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, Xu Yueguang simply opened the Death Game interface and started researching the Death Game, hoping that he might fall asleep while researching.
He didn't fall asleep in the end, but he did discover that the Death Game actually had a function similar to a customer service assistant.
“Hey? Death Game, are you there?”
Xu Yueguang called out.
“Ding, I am.”
“Have you had dinner? Want to hang out?
I am Xu Yueguang, the little prince of love songs. Let’s go to KTV, I’ve never been outdone in singing!”
“…”
“Just kidding. Tell me about the history of the Death Game.” Xu Yueguang pouted when the Death Game didn’t respond. It had no sense of humor at all.
“Ding, the Death Game originated ten thousand years ago. To date, one hundred million players have entered the Death Game.”
“Wait! Ten thousand years ago?! Humans had just been born then, right?”
In this parallel world, humans only existed ten thousand years ago.
“Ding, yes.”
“Hiss!” Xu Yueguang became interested. “Who were the players ten thousand years ago? Can you tell me their names?”
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
Or others?
This Death Game doesn't seem as simple as he thought!
“Ding, the first Death Game had ten thousand players.
To query player names, your player authority is insufficient. Please upgrade to view.”
“…”
Insufficient authority, that’s awkward.
“Then can you tell me if these people are still alive?”
Given the magic of the Death Game, these players should have gained the ability of eternal life, right?
So are these people still alive or have they already died?
“Ding, your player authority is insufficient. Please upgrade to view.”
“…”
This hurdle can’t be crossed, can it?
“Then what can you tell me???”
“Ding, your player authority is insufficient. Please upgrade to view.”
“Damn it! Forget it, I’ll go upgrade tomorrow!” Xu Yueguang swore in frustration.
He couldn’t get anything by asking like this. He’d ask to his heart’s content after upgrading.
…
Early in the morning, he got up and had breakfast.
Then he put a piece of bread in his bag.
It wasn’t prepared for the game, but besides bread, he had nothing else to take.
He had no money, not even enough to buy a watermelon knife.
The voice of the Death Game arrived as scheduled,
“Entering the Death Game in ten seconds. Ten, nine…”
The countdown began.
Xu Yueguang sat quietly on the sofa, drinking water from '82, waiting for the game to begin.
“One…”
The last second of the countdown ended.
A wave of dizziness came over Xu Yueguang’s mind again, and he fainted on the sofa.
