"Sister Yaoyao, where is the restroom?"
Lin Yu walked up to Shen Buyao and asked.
Shen Buyao pointed to the aisle ahead and said, "Just go straight down this path. The men's room is on the left, and the women's is on the right."
Lin Yu deliberately acted confused, pointing toward a different fire escape aisle: "Oh! You mean this way, right?"
Shen Buyao couldn't help but cast a disdainful look at him: "Forget it, forget it. Seeing how hopeless you are with directions, I'll take you there."
Even though the female internet cafe administrator was right there, Shen Buyao's first reaction was still to personally lead Lin Yu over.
Of course.
This was exactly the outcome Lin Yu wanted to see.
The two temporarily left the crowd and walked toward the aisle.
Lined along both sides of the aisle were private booths with curtains.
Since there were no outsiders present today, there was no need to sit in the private booths.
When a group of friends goes online together, it is naturally much more fun to sit side-by-side in the main hall.
"Here, it's right ahead. You can find it now, right?"
"I'm going to get mineral water for everyone. You go pee by yourself."
"It's not like you need me to hold it for you, haha!"
Shen Buyao teased him intentionally and turned to leave.
Lin Yu, however, made his move at just the right moment, grabbing Shen Buyao by the arm.
Shen Buyao looked at Lin Yu suspiciously: "What is it? Don't tell me you need me to open the door for you too!"
Unexpectedly.
Lin Yu suddenly held her shoulders and pushed her into an empty private booth.
Immediately following.
Was a dizzying, earth-shattering kiss.
[Ding!]
[God-tier play! The Saint's sudden domineering move has sent ripples through the Tool's heart!]
[Reward: 80 Spirit Stones]
Shen Buyao's mind went blank: "!!!"
Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago?
He had a sudden onset of madness!
Just because it was his birthday, was the "Birthday Boy" really going to throw his weight around like this?
Shen Buyao's subconscious first reaction was to worry about being seen by others.
She quickly raised both hands, preparing to push Lin Yu away.
After pushing weakly a couple of times, Shen Buyao realized that she couldn't bear to use any real strength!
This stinky guy...
Once he latched on, it was truly difficult to break free.
Perhaps geographically, she was also at a disadvantage.
Folded up like a pretzel in a single sofa chair, it was difficult even to stand up.
Let alone exert any force.
After a few symbolic gestures of resistance, Shen Buyao wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck.
Until...
"Hiss!"
Shen Buyao covered her lips, looking at Lin Yu in surprise.
She couldn't help but rebuke him: "I... I haven't even bitten you yet, and you actually bit me?"
"Damn Lin Yu, were you born in the year of the dog? It's bleeding."
"No... why?"
Shen Buyao truly hadn't expected Lin Yu to suddenly be so violent.
Could it be that deep in his heart, there was a beast hiding?
Back at the old house, seeing him take photos with a camera before cooking, Shen Buyao had been thoroughly fooled, thinking Lin Yu was an artsy type.
Now this was...
Exposing his true nature?
Lin Yu pinched Shen Buyao's cheek and responded: "Yaoyao, thank you for tonight's arrangements."
"It turns out that in places I couldn't see, you actually did so much."
"How should I put it..."
"I just suddenly wanted to take a bite. I don't know how to describe it."
Shen Buyao nimbly crawled out of the sofa nest, quickly tidying her messy clothes.
Although Lin Yu didn't explain much.
From his words, Shen Buyao could inexplicably understand his mood.
When people are excited and moved, they want to do strange things, right?
Back when she found out about Lin Yu's destiny, hadn't she also run over to find him in an uncharacteristic manner?
If feelings were something that could be explained lightly, they wouldn't be so fascinating.
Shen Buyao pursed her lips and punched Lin Yu on the arm: "I'll forgive you this time, but just this once!"
"It really hurt!"
"Actually... I didn't do much."
"As long as you like it..."
Lin Yu said seriously: "I like it very much. The event and the person, I like them both."
Shen Buyao looked at Lin Yu blankly.
When preparing for tonight's all-nighter event, she hadn't thought much about it.
She had even worried Lin Yu wouldn't like it, so she hadn't mentioned it in advance.
Unexpectedly.
She received such feedback.
For a moment.
It actually made Shen Buyao flustered.
She didn't know how to respond properly.
She quickly pointed outside and said, "Damn Lin Yu, let me off the hook for now."
"I organized everyone to come here tonight, so I still have to go arrange the seating."
"After today passes..."
"You can do whatever you want!"
The phrase "do whatever you want" completely hit the spot for Lin Yu.
If he didn't have any ideas after hearing that, it would be pure disrespect to Antique Sister.
Lin Yu quickly seized the opportunity, tapping lightly over Shen Buyao's heart: "Yaoyao, you said it yourself. Don't you dare..."
Shen Buyao nodded quickly and grabbed Lin Yu's finger: "I promise I won't go back on my word! A thousand, ten thousand times, I won't regret it!"
After saying that.
Fearing Lin Yu wouldn't let her go, she quickly added a peck on Lin Yu's cheek.
Only then did she hurriedly run out of the private booth.
...
Not long after.
Under the greeting of Antique Sister and the King of Dirty Jokes.
Everyone took their seats one after another and opened the same shooting game!
With so many people gathering together, wanting to play the same game simultaneously...
And considering the difficulty level so that everyone could pick it up effortlessly...
Choosing from the current game library...
Crossfire was the only choice!
Shen Buyao, Huang Feirong, Mo Shangying, Xia Yiwei, plus Lin Yu.
The five of them helped everyone get into the game at the same time.
Fortunately, games in this era didn't have so many complex registration steps.
Just a QQ number was enough to easily start the game.
Aside from teaming up in the game.
The group also had to help adjust the mouse sensitivity for everyone.
For players who had never played before, the default sensitivity wasn't actually suitable.
If the screen turned too fast, it was very easy to induce 3D motion sickness.
Once 3D motion sickness appeared, it could take many years to slowly overcome.
Worse still, some might be plagued by it for life, completely cut off from 3D games.
"How is it? How is it? Is everyone ready?"
"The Team Deathmatch is about to start!"
Shen Buyao looked just like a battlefield commander, asking everyone expectantly.
Having arranged everyone's basic tutorial beforehand, the process of entering the game was incredibly smooth.
Even though many people didn't play well at first, finding it hard even to move around.
But as time went on, after just about half an hour.
Even Teacher Tang, who was the slowest to learn, had mastered all the basic operations.
The war within the internet cafe was in full swing!
...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

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?!

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!
