The game’s voice channel was turned on.

As soon as Nan Huiyao entered, a surprised male voice sounded in the stereo.

“Who is this?”

“Sister Ran’s roommate.” Nan Huiyao glanced at the voice page. This was spoken by a female with the username Big Forest.

Realizing that this was the group Qin Ran introduced to her, she greeted them very cautiously.

She looked at the game registrations of the other four people and was shocked to find that they were all Master-level accounts.

Her Master-level account was already considered powerful in Class 1, so she often teamed up with the boys. But she didn’t expect Qin Ran’s high school classmates to be even better.

“I hope I won’t hold you guys back.” Since she had already joined, she couldn’t really retreat either.

When choosing her cards, she even took out her only two Sky cards, and then added a powerful Land card. Only then did she sigh in relief.

After locking in the cards, the five players entered the arena page together.

She temporarily let go of the mouse and took a sip of water before turning back to check out her teammates’ cards.

The first column was Big Forest’s cards.

The first was a Sky card.

The second was a Sky card.

The third card was…

What the f*ck?!

A God card??

Stupefied, she glanced down the list.

Sky card, Sky card… God card…

Although she hadn’t drunk alcohol, she felt like she must have drunk too much at that time. God cards were a rare sight in the game, and other than the professional players in Team OST, they were few and far between among ordinary players.

But she saw three of them this time?

And they were her teammates?

Having loaded the game, the five of them entered the arena, but Nan Huiyao didn’t get to showcase her skills properly. She wasn’t pertinent in the round and won inexplicably.

In less than ten minutes.

In the next game, she was pulled into another group.

This time, the players were different.

She only recognized Big Forest and felt a little regretful that the teammates with two God cards weren’t her teammates anymore.

She finished selecting her cards.

It was still a five-person team with three cards each…

Nan Huiyao: “…??!!”

She saw that Big Forest was using a different God card…

“Great God, are you from a professional team?” she finally asked.

“No,” a frivolous male voice said.

“Then where did you get so many God cards?!” Nan Huiyao clenched the mouse.

“Is it considered many?” The male player entered the arena with the Nüwa card and replied in surprise, “We only have one God card each, but Lin Siran alone has three.”

One person with one God card only?

The one God card that belonged to Leng Peishan was already envied by everyone, but it was considered “only” one card to them??

Sitting there, she stared at the game screen, her mind in a mess. All thoughts were wiped clean from her mind, and she even forgot about Leng Peishan. All she wanted to do was rush to the other end of the network cable and grab hold of the talking boy.

“Are you okay?” The boy beside her finished a game and glanced at her. “We’re finished, let’s team-up.”

Team up?

She reached out to grab her hair, feeling a little crazy. She felt like she was daydreaming.

What group did Qin Ran add her to?!

After this round, she finally went to find Qin Ran with a stomach-full of questions, only to find that she was gone.

She immediately took out her phone to call her.

Qin Ran was changing shoes at the entrance.

“What’s the matter?” She changed her shoes and walked inside, sitting on the sofa with her legs slightly draped.

Nan Huiyao was still in a daze. “Ran Ran, how did you know all those Great Gods?!”

“High school classmates.” Qin Ran knew she had played games with Qiao Sheng and the others and wasn’t surprised.

She hung up after a few words.

“Master Juan.” When Cheng Jin came upstairs with a document and saw Qin Ran, he paused before greeting her respectfully. “Miss Qin.”

Cheng Juan had just changed his shoes and was walking over.

He sat beside Qin Ran and hugged a pillow before reaching out to Cheng Jin.

“The address has been finalized. This is the document sent from above.” Cheng Jin sat opposite and handed the document to him.

Coming out of the kitchen, Cheng Mu handed Qin Ran a cup of tea.

He asked upon hearing Cheng Jin, “The place where you’re selling clothes?”

“Huh?” While casually playing games on her phone, Qin Ran raised an eyebrow. “Who’s selling clothes?”

“My brother.” Cheng Mu carefully placed the cup of tea beside her. “Brother, where’s your company selling the clothes? How big is the scale?”

Cheng Jin didn’t want to reply to him.

The dinner party continued.

“Why are you looking for her?” Chu Heng glanced quickly at Nan Huiyao, leaning on the table while playing cards with someone.

Plopping down onto the sofa expressionlessly, Nan Huiyao glanced down at the phone. “She pulled me into this group previously.”

“Isn’t it just a group, so what?” Xing Kai took a cue from the side and handed another to her.

Mechanically reaching out for it, she continued, “Then…” Looking up, she stared blankly at him. “Most of the people in the group have one God card.”

The cue in Xing Kai’s hand shook, and he held the table with his hands, unable to return to his senses. “Then… what about the minority…” he asked subconsciously.

“The minority has three,” Nan Huiyao said.

Xing Kai’s hand shook again, and his body flopped lower.

He stared at her. “Father, can I meet the group of Great Gods?! I also want to be on the same stage with three God cards.”

Chu Heng watched the whole process speechlessly.

Didn’t he just say it was “just a group”?!

In the end, both Xing Kai and Chu Heng added the “game group.”

**

Beijing University conducted midterm exams in early November.

At this time, it was the end of October, less than three days before the exam. Numerous students had already begun intense revision, and the library was packed every day.

Qin Ran was in Dean Jiang’s office right now.

“Dean Jiang, what’s the matter?” She stood at the table, holding a stack of books.

Wearing a snow-white sweater and a casual jacket, she didn’t look as sharp as she usually did.

“Qin Ran.” Dean Jiang glanced at her and put down his pen. “I heard that you’ve decided to take two professional exam questions? Are you confident about nuclear engineering?”

The assistant beside him couldn’t help but look up. Shouldn’t he ask if she was confident about automation?

Everyone in the Physics Department knew that Qin Ran had a second major, whose classes she always attended. On the other hand, she never attended any automation classes. Hence, there was absolutely no problem with her taking first place in nuclear engineering.

Wasn’t Dean Jiang asking the wrong question?

“I’m not sure,” Qin Ran replied lazily, lowering her eyes. Although her words said she was uncertain, her tone sounded quite arrogant.

Dean Jiang chuckled. “Okay, I understand. You can go to eat.”

“Goodbye, Dean Jiang.” She politely greeted him before heading downstairs.

She saw Xing Kai and Nan Huiyao the moment she reached the intersection.

“Ran Ran, over here!” Nan Huiyao waved to her.

Qin Ran buttoned the hat on her head, her aura as cold as ever.

The three of them went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Nan Huiyao had always been used to going to the second floor, but since Qin Ran always went to the third floor, they followed her upstairs.

“The class monitor went to help the counselor handle some stuff.” Xing Kai ordered food, and then explained to them while sitting opposite.

Nan Huiyao sat down while texting Big Forest.

“Ran Ran, it turns out that Lin Siran, your high school classmate, is in the same school as us? But she’s from the Economics Department.” Nan Huiyao put down her phone and regretfully said, “She’s too far away in the South campus. I can only find time to meet her. I want to see what a girl with three God cards looks like.”

Recently, she played several times with some people in the group, especially Lin Siran.

Qin Ran glanced at her silently.

Xing Kai, Chu Heng, and Qin Ran weren’t very familiar with one another but unexpectedly bonded a strong friendship due to the game.

When their dishes were ready, Xing Kai went to bring them over.

“By the way, the midterm exam is due. Can you do it?” Xing Kai put down the food.

Propping her legs up, Qin Ran picked up her chopsticks. “Why are you all asking me that?”

“There’s no choice.” Xing Kai handed another pair of chopsticks to Nan Huiyao. “You have no idea how popular you are in school. The school forum is betting on when you’ll enter the laboratory and guessing what your results will be. However…”

Speaking of this, he frowned. “I heard that Dr. Zhou wasn’t satisfied with the difficulty of the freshman exam last semester, so our exam this time is going to be very difficult… You haven’t attended any lessons, what if you fail?”
