nChu Luo had no idea what happened to the Wei family last night, nor did she care.

nShe got up early in the morning and walked out of the bedroom to see Li Yan’s men cleaning the courtyard.

nThe heavy rain last night had filled the courtyard with withered flowers and leaves. Chu Luo thought for a while, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote and drew on them.

nShe wanted to list the things she wanted to add and the details that were needed to redecorate the house.

nAt this moment, someone came in and said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, there’s a Mr. Wu outside the gate who wants to see you.”

nChu Luo remembered that yesterday, she had asked Mr. Wu to come and look for her to get the prescription this morning. She said, “Invite him in.”

nThat person quickly brought Mr. Wu in.

nWhen Mr. Wu saw Chu Luo, he shed tears of gratitude. “Master, thank you for your help yesterday.”

nHe even bowed deeply to her.

n“It’s nothing. Mr. Wu, you don’t have to thank me.” Chu Luo gestured to him. “Mr. Wu, please take a seat first. I’ll prescribe the medicine immediately.”

nAfter saying that, she took out a notebook and wrote down four whole prescriptions. She tore it off and handed it to him. “I’ve written a number on each page. Have her take the medicine on the first prescription first. It has to be taken at least five times. The second is for recuperation. She can take it over a longer period of time.”

nMr. Wu quickly took the prescriptions with both hands and asked in detail, “Master, can you tell me what is taboo when taking these prescriptions? Also, how long can the second prescription be taken for exactly?”

nChu Luo told him about food restrictions. Finally, she said, “The second prescription can be used to nourish Sister Wu’s body until she has fully recovered. You and Madam can also take this medicine to nourish your body. There’s no taboo.”

n“Alright!” Mr. Wu smiled and nodded. He said gratefully, “Master is our family’s benefactor. In the future, if Master needs anything, please feel free to let me know. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I won’t hesitate to make it happen.”

nHe quickly took out his name card and a phone.

n“Master, you mentioned that you don’t have a phone yet. I especially went to choose one yesterday. I hope you don’t mind… This is my name card. Master, if you need me, you can call me anytime.”

nChu Luo was a little surprised that Mr. Wu would help her buy a phone. She thought for a while and didn’t reject it.

nAt the same time, she looked at his name card.

nWhen she saw it, she was surprised. “You’re a professor at Imperial University?”

n“Yes, I’m a professor at the Imperial University School of Information Science and Technology… You look so young. You should still be in school, right? I wonder which grade you are in, Master?”

n“I just finished my college entrance examination.”

nMr. Wu looked surprised. “Master, you look very young.”

nChu Luo smiled. “I’m not young anymore. I’ll be 18 next month.”

n“Oh, oh. Then where does Master plan to go?”

n“Imperial University.”

n“Imperial University welcomes you, Master.”

nAs the two of them spoke, they started to talk about their daily lives. Mr. Wu also switched from calling her Master to Xiao Chu.

nWhen Mr. Wu heard that Chu Luo was interested in computer science, he said, “If you’re interested in this area, you can come and ask me about it anytime.”

nThen, he added, “I also have lesson videos. Xiao Chu, if you want to watch them, I can look for them and send them to you.”

n“I want to see them.” Chu Luo nodded quickly. That longing gaze could make one’s heart soften.

nThe two of them spoke a few more words before Mr. Wu left.

nChu Luo played with her newly acquired phone for a while. After thinking about the game she’d played at Li Yan’s place last time, she decided to buy one later.

nAfter breakfast, Chu Luo waited for Li Yan’s chauffeur to pick her up.

nThe chauffeur didn’t come, but Li Yan’s butler did.

nA bodyguard carrying a box followed behind the butler.

nThe butler said to her, “Miss Chu, Master has something to attend to these next two days. He said that you don’t have to come over.”

nAs he spoke, he raised his hand to take the box from the bodyguard’s hand and handed it to her. He said, “It’s not easy to contact you without a phone. I’ve prepared a phone, a laptop, and the game console you played last time. If you need anything else, you can tell me. I’ll get someone to prepare it.”

nChu Luo was stunned for a moment when she heard him say that. She thought that she would be a fool not to agree to accept the help, so she said with a smile, “If there’s a need.”

nThen, she handed him the list she had written earlier. “I need to buy these things. Coincidentally, I’m not familiar with this place. Help me buy them.”

nAfter saying that, she thought for a while and handed him the card Wei Wei had given her. “See if there’s enough money on this card. If it’s not enough, I have…”

nShe took out a small cloth bag and fished out a few gems. Under the butler’s surprised gaze, she continued, “These should be worth some money. If there’s not enough money, I’ll sell this. If it’s still not enough…”

nShe had never bought anything herself and didn’t know things’ prices. She thought for a while before saying, “Then I’ll borrow money first. I’ll be able to earn money soon.”

nThe butler looked at Chu Luo, who had a serious expression on her face, and felt a little emotional.

n—What a candid young lady!

nChu Luo didn’t know what the butler was thinking. After taking the bag of gems back, she went to play games with the game console.

nAs soon as she entered the game, the notification sound kept ringing.

nChu Luo was just about to look at the message when Evil Dragon Crossing the River sent her a team invite.

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “Xiao Bai, hurry up and accept it. There’s a two-versus-two PK competition today. You can win double the experience points. Didn’t you want to level up? Coincidentally, we’re teaming up.”

nChu Luo thought for a while before accepting the invitation. She typed a few words.

nBai Ling: “Call me Bai Ling or I will kill you until you return to the Novice Village.”

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “(Grinning Face)… It’s too formal to call you by your full name.”

nChu Luo threw a skill over and Evil Dragon Crossing the River lost a third of his health points.

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “…”

nWang Mingtao, who was sitting in front of the computer, couldn’t help but mutter, “She’s clearly such a cute and beautiful young girl. Why is she so violent in the game?”

nDespite saying that, he still brought Chu Luo to the two-versus-two PK venue.

nWhen Chu Luo was controlling her avatar to go to the PK arena, Wang Mingtao said something to her confidently.

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “I’ll protect you later. I promise to help you gain the most amount of experience points using the least amount of effort.”

nWhen Chu Luo saw this, the corners of her lips curled up.

nThe PK field system automatically assigned opponents of similar levels.

nThen, she let Wang Mingtao experience what rocket-like growth meant, as well as who, exactly, was taking care of whom.

nAfter the entire morning, Wang Mingtao, who was sitting in front of the computer, had only two things to say:

n“Holy **!”

n“Is she even human?”

nThe other players who were assigned to PK with them had only three things to say:

n“Holy **!”

n“Which guru started this smurf account1!”

n“This smurf account is simply cheating!”

nThe morning ended quickly. Chu Luo looked at her account, which had risen to level 45, and was not very satisfied.

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “Sister Bai, shall we continue in the afternoon?”

nBai Ling: “Can you choose your own opponent instead of having the system allocate you to one?”

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “Of course.”

nChu Luo was satisfied.

nBai Ling: “Come online at 2 PM sharp.”

nWith that, she logged out of the game.

nChu Luo had been playing games in the pavilion. When she looked up, she saw a few people carrying a few pieces of furniture in.

nShe walked over with the game console and bumped into the butler, who had just entered.

nThe moment the butler saw her, he handed her a list. “Miss Chu, I’ve bought all the things you wanted. These are the invoice and the remaining money.”

nHe handed her the invoice, bank card, and the few gems.

nChu Luo took the things and looked at the invoice. She exclaimed, “I didn’t expect these things to be so cheap.”

nShe wanted the best redwood, spades wood, and pears wood furniture. All the furniture added up to only 300,000 yuan.

nThe butler looked at Chu Luo’s surprised expression and thought to himself, ‘These are all businesses under Master’s name. It will definitely be cheap since you were given a discount.’

nBut he didn’t show it outwardly.

nChu Luo followed them and told them how to position the furniture.

nLooking at the bookshelf covering the entire wall, Chu Luo rubbed her chin and made a plan. “Maybe I should play less games today and buy some books in the afternoon?”

nWhen the butler standing at the side heard this, he suggested, “Miss Chu, you can shop at an online bookstore. The books will be delivered to you.”

nChu Luo’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s great.”

nFor the next two hours, besides eating, she kept tapping away at the online bookstore on her tablet.

nOnly an electronic voice could be heard in the entire living room:

n“The XXX book you bought has been ordered…”

n“The YYY book you bought has been ordered…”

nChu Luo bought a variety of books, and she actually bought hundreds of them in just over an hour.

nShe went online at two o’clock sharp. Wang Mingtao was already waiting.

nBai Ling: “I’ll choose my opponent this afternoon.”

nEvil Dragon Crossing the River: “Sure.”

nFor the entire afternoon, Wang Mingtao, who was sitting in front of the computer, had only one expression: “!!!”

nThe level 50 player who was being tortured also had only one expression: “!!!”

nThere was a message on the world channel from time to time:

n“Congratulations to level 45 players Bai Ling and Evil Dragon Crossing the River for defeating level 55 players, XX and XXX.”

n…

n“Congratulations to level 47 players Bai Ling and Evil Dragon Crossing the River for defeating level 55 players, YY and YYY.”

n…

n“Congratulations to level 57 players Bai Ling and Evil Dragon Crossing the River for defeating level 70 players, YY and YYY.”

nThe originally bustling world channel slowly became quiet. In the end, besides the congratulatory message from the system, it was flooded with many messages.

n“F*ck! F*ck!!!!!”

n“Who is that? Who leveled up more than ten levels in one afternoon?”

n“A smurf account? That’s impossible. Other than God Y, I’ve never seen anyone else who could level up more than ten levels in one afternoon.”

n“Other than appearing in world-class competitions, God Y doesn’t have time to play games at all. How can he possibly have a smurf account!”

n“Rather than talking so much, why don’t some master hacker check this ID and see which god it is?”

n…

nNo matter who it was, everyone decided to watch with the same goal in mind.
