Chapter 98
As the days went by, Gu Ran's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
It seemed there were still people with good taste in this world!
Although Temple Run had been completely ignored when it first launched, its download numbers were now skyrocketing.
By pricing it at less than a dollar, it successfully squeezed into the number one spot on the new games chart.
But even though it cost less than a dollar, the revenue in his backend was steadily ticking up cent by cent.
Because he had a good mentor, he had gone down the route of paid cosmetic skins.
You could play the game perfectly fine without spending a single cent, but you just wouldn't get to experience the gorgeous skins and scenes.
After all, his philosophy was exactly the same as a certain major game studio: create happiness with money!
Staring at the computer, he reached up to touch his face, feeling somewhat speechless.
He didn't know what had gotten into Ye Zhenzhen lately. Ever since she bit his face last time, he had made a huge fool of himself at school.
But because of that, the number of love letters he received had decreased.
Even with graduation approaching, when many people couldn't hold back and wanted to make one last push for romance.
He usually received a pile of them, but now he hadn't gotten a single one. He could only attribute it to the teeth marks on his face...
Regarding this, the aloof older sister felt it was all her doing, blocking out the wild bees and butterflies outside so her younger brother could study in peace.
So much so that lately, she found different excuses every day to take a bite out of his face, and the saliva she left behind was increasing.
Just as he was pondering how many tens of thousands would hit his account next month, a noise suddenly came from the balcony door.
Instantly, Gu Ran reacted like a startled bird and hurriedly tried to dive under the bed.
Gu 'Dog' Ran!
As soon as she entered the room, the girl, who had her hands behind her back ready to inspect, saw the sneaky boy. She immediately let out a delicate shout, trotted over, and grabbed him by the back of his collar.
What are you doing!
Raising her slender eyebrows, Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and asked.
Caught by the scruff of his neck, Gu Ran awkwardly turned his head. N-nothing...
If you're doing nothing, why are you diving under the desk?
I... was checking for mice.
Gu Ran gave a sheepish smile, moving his lips to speak.
He didn't even need to guess; this girl was here to find an excuse to bite him again.
Once or twice was a reward, but who could handle it happening so often!
He wasn't made of iron. Honestly, was this girl just using him as a teething toy?!
I think you're the big black mouse!
The girl licked her little canine teeth, grabbed his collar, and dragged him forcefully out from under the desk.
As soon as you get back to your room, you just sit at your computer desk. Do you not want your eyes anymore?!
Forcefully pinning him down on the bed, Ye Zhenzhen straddled him like a dragon rider, questioning him from above.
Not want his eyes anymore?
Listen to that, what kind of motherly speech was this.
Gu Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat ready to accept his fate.
From now on, she could just come directly to bite him without needing to find such a lame excuse.
Seeing the boy lying on the bed like a corpse, the aloof girl blinked and slightly parted her cherry lips.
Wait a minute!
Seeing the girl about to bite down again, Gu Ran's face already started hurting. He hastily crossed his arms in front of him and said with a terrified expression, Ye Zhenzhen, don't push me too far!
Hearing this, the girl raised an eyebrow and didn't answer, just looking at him playfully.
Gu Ran coughed lightly and continued his threat: If you bite me again, I'm going to bite back!
Smack!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhenzhen gave his thigh a hard smack. Then, her slender eyebrows shot up, and she used her cold voice to say, How dare you threaten your older sister? Outrageous!
With that said, she leaned down and bit directly onto the boy's face.
On the side Gu Ran couldn't see, she slightly narrowed her eyes, a gleam of satisfaction mixed in her gaze.
She didn't know why, but lately, she felt like she was becoming more and more of a pervert, actually getting addicted to biting this guy's face.
Could it be...
She quickly shook her head in her mind, firmly believing that she had been infected by her perverted younger brother. It was definitely not her own problem.
Just as her thoughts were running wild, she was suddenly flipped over. Gu Ran, who had been pinned beneath her, turned the tables and straddled her in the blink of an eye.
For a moment, Ye Zhenzhen was a little dazed, not yet understanding the situation before her.
Her large eyes blinked, filled with confusion.
Ye Zhenzhen, you forced me to do this!
As Gu Ran's words fell, he leaned straight down, opened his mouth, and bit into the girl's fair, tender skin.
Mmph!
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly widened, still unable to believe the reality in front of her.
She had hunted geese all her life, only to finally get her eyes pecked by one...
Feeling the wetness on her face and the hot breath, her heart couldn't help but race. Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly closed her eyes.
Gu Ran, of course, was not like this girl; he couldn't bear to use any force at all.
He merely held the girl's cheek gently in his mouth. That rich scent of osmanthus rushed straight into his mouth, making him feel a bit lightheaded.
Driven by some inexplicable impulse, his tongue disobeyed his commands and slipped out, lightly licking the girl's face.
Mmm, so soft...
Ye Zhenzhen: !!!
Having just closed her eyes, she was shocked once again by his actions. Ye Zhenzhen, not knowing where she found the strength, forcefully shoved Gu Ran off of her.
Gu 'Dog' Ran!
Sitting up in anger, she reached up to cover her saliva-stained cheek. Ye Zhenzhen's face was flushed red, but her eyes were filled with embarrassment and fury.
Ahem... I say, this was an accident. Do you believe me?
Knowing he had done something wrong, Gu Ran subconsciously felt guilty. He didn't dare look her in the eyes at all, just keeping his head down as he frantically searched for an escape route.
But before he could find one, he was tackled back down again, followed by a wail.
Holy crap, Ye Zhenzhen, don't bite!
L-lighter!
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, you can't bite there!!!!
...
...
June 5th.
No. 1 High School was on holiday today. All the high school seniors were cleaning out their desks, moving all their belongings out of the classrooms.
Meanwhile, the freshmen and sophomores had to set up the examination rooms.
Gu Ran had just finished packing up when Hao Cuiyun walked into the classroom. She clapped her hands and said, Alright, alright, it's our class's turn to take photos. Head downstairs!
She kept a strict face every day, but today, Hao Cuiyun was smiling, which was a rare sight.
Although there was a bit of melancholy in her eyes, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Even though the students she had taught for three years were graduating today, she had experienced far too many graduation seasons. The sentimental feelings were there, but not overwhelming.
In her heart, there was more of the joy of having an upcoming vacation of nearly three months.
Standing at the podium and looking at the students below, her eyes were full of smiles as she continued, Children, let's go!
Today, the relationship between teachers and students was exceptionally harmonious. The students who were usually mischievous and disruptive were much more obedient.
Unlike the experienced teachers, the sensitive girls unknowingly started to sniffle...
The whole class marched downstairs in a grand procession, standing in front of the main stage and lining up in order.
Because of his height, Gu Ran stood in the back row. He couldn't help but yawn, subconsciously searching for Ye Zhenzhen's figure.
Since the photos were being taken in class order, the girl from the honors class had already gone downstairs. He just didn't know if she was waiting for him on the sports field right now.
Rather than taking a group photo with a bunch of people he only vaguely knew, he was much more inclined to take pictures with that girl, Ye Zhenzhen.
The two of them wearing their school uniforms, captured in the same frame—it would surely hold a special commemorative meaning.
Just as he was looking around, the photographer in front shouted, "Alright, look at the camera! Three, two, one, say cheese!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran turned his head back and looked straight ahead.
Click!
The image was captured, and just like that, his high school era came to a close...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
