Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

"Ugh, right, how did I end up on your bed..." Ning Ruoxi rubbed her head, still a bit dazed, a trace of confusion in her eyes.

She remembered that it had taken all her strength to drag Ye Ling onto the bed, and after she did, she had planned to go back to her own room to get more sleep...

But reality was the complete opposite of her memory.

Not only had she not gone back to her room, she was lying on Ye Ling’s bed!

She had even fallen asleep hugging Ye Ling!

"Oh, right. Back then, right after I dragged you onto the bed, I was about to get up when your palm had a jolt of electricity or something..." Ning Ruoxi frowned.

The memory now surfaced clearly in her mind. She remembered it now—it seemed she had been knocked out by an electric shock!

’An electric shock!?’

Hearing this, Ye Ling’s eyes widened. ’Could it be related to that tenfold physique enhancement!?’

That electric current was also the reason he had collapsed on the floor!

"Look at my palm. Can you see the lines clearly?" Ye Ling said immediately.

Ning Ruoxi looked over, a little bewildered. The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened abruptly. "I... I think... I really can see them!?"

Yes.

Even from such a distance, she could make out even the finest lines!

’System, what the hell is going on?’ Ye Ling hurriedly asked in his mind.

"Replying to Host: The enhancement provided by the System is similar to spiritual energy infusion in Xianxia novels. Some overflow energy may be absorbed by people nearby, but the effect is minuscule—less than one-tenth." The System’s voice immediately rang in Ye Ling’s ear.

Hearing this, Ye Ling understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don’t tell anyone what happened today. Otherwise, we’ll both be in trouble." Ye Ling looked at Ning Ruoxi, his voice heavy with solemnity.

Seeing Ye Ling’s rare serious expression, Ning Ruoxi, though she found it a bit strange, nodded obediently. "Oh... I understand..."

"That electric shock you mentioned was actually because I took a type of medicine from my hometown. It can improve one’s physique, but the effects are very strong and can make you pass out... That’s also why I collapsed on the floor," Ye Ling explained after a moment of thought.

’In any case, the matter of the System must never be exposed!’

"So that’s how it is. No wonder I feel so full of energy right now!" Ning Ruoxi took a moment to assess herself. She usually practiced yoga...

But she could feel that now, her body’s flexibility and strength seemed to have taken a quantum leap!

"Don’t worry, Ye Ling. I absolutely will not tell anyone about what happened today!" Ning Ruoxi promised solemnly.

As for how tempting a drug that could enhance one’s physique was, one only had to look at the emperors of ancient times who spent their days searching for elixirs!

Even in the modern era, if word got out, even the big shots at the top would be tempted to get their hands on it!

"Someone’s outside the door!"

Ye Ling’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He exchanged a look with Ning Ruoxi, who also gave a slight nod.

Now that both of their hearing had been enhanced, they could both hear the faint sound of breathing outside the door...

Ye Ling tiptoed to the door and abruptly yanked it open.

"Ah!" A startled cry rang out.

As the door opened, a figure in bear-print pajamas fell toward Ye Ling.

"Yueyue?" Ning Ruoxi was taken aback when she saw who it was.

"Why is it you!?" Ye Ling frowned as he caught Luo Yue.

The person hiding at the door... was none other than Luo Yue!

"What’s going on? Care to explain?" Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She had been about to strike; if she’d been half a second slower, she probably would have kicked Luo Yue right in the butt.

Luo Yue stood up from Ye Ling’s arms. Noticing the less-than-friendly gazes from the two of them, she laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe, hehe... It’s nothing... I just woke up this morning and saw you were gone, Ruoruo, so I thought I’d come up and see..."

Luo Yue scratched her head sheepishly. Suddenly, a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes as she looked back and forth between Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi. "Are you two..."

Being scrutinized like that, both Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi immediately felt uncomfortable.

"You little brat, what are you trying to say!?" Ning Ruoxi rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Luo Yue’s gaze suddenly turned peculiar. With a sly grin, she said, "Were you two... having a secret snack behind my back?"

"Secret snack, my ass." Ye Ling’s expression darkened. He couldn’t help walking over and giving her a knock on the head.

He knew it. This little brat was up to no good.

"Waah, that hurts!" Luo Yue immediately clutched her forehead, her face full of grievance. "Wuwuwu... The love has faded. You scumbag, forgetting your old flame as soon as you find a new love!"

"What do you mean, ’old flame’?" Ye Ling rolled his eyes helplessly.

’This girl, why is she being so dramatic first thing in the morning...’

"I’m your girlfriend, aren’t I? So how am I not the old flame!?" Luo Yue said, as if it were obvious.

"That was fake." Ye Ling’s face darkened.

Meanwhile, Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but facepalm, completely speechless.

’This little girl is really getting into character, huh?’

"Sorry, but I’m not interested in A-class pandas." A wicked smile touched Ye Ling’s lips. He snorted softly and walked out of the room.

"A-class panda!?"

Luo Yue didn’t get it at first. But the next moment, her gaze fell upon a certain, very prominent part of Ning Ruoxi, and her eyes instantly blazed with fire.

"You damn Ye Ling, you dare say I’m small!?" Luo Yue let out a roar, her little face filled with fury.

The evil dragon roars, AWOO~ AWOO~ AWOO~

...

Ye Ling took a shower and then left, paying no mind to the little brat.

His Pagani sped through the morning streets of Modu. Many of the people on the road were commuters, and they watched the luxury car fly by with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Although salaries in Modu were much higher than in other cities, the cost of living was also high. For most people, buying a luxury car like that was something they could only dream of in their next life...

’I collected 2.7 million in rent. I’ll send a hundred thousand home first. If I send too much, my family will just worry.’ After some thought, Ye Ling parked his car in front of a China Construction Bank.

For many years, his family situation hadn’t been particularly good. His parents had divorced when he was very young, and he had always lived with his father.

As for his mother, he didn’t think he had even seen her more than a few times...

As Ye Ling got out of the car, the gazes of many people around him were instantly drawn to him.

A luxury car and a handsome guy!

The standard package! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Inside the bank, there were quite a few young couples taking care of business. The young women couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances at Ye Ling, earning him hateful stares from their boyfriends.

Ye Ling was long used to such hostile looks. ’But I really want to say, there’s no need to look at me like that,’ he thought. ’After all, no matter what, there’s no way I’d be interested in your girlfriends...’

’Whether it’s Ning Ruoxi or Luo Yue, isn’t their beauty leagues above everyone here?’

’Do I even need to try?’
