The person outside the door seemed to sense Ji Siyue's gaze. He looked up and waved at her.
"Hey, he's waving. Is he waving at his girlfriend? It feels like he's waving in our direction!" Tian Cheng pinched Ji Siyue's arm and shook her, bringing the absent - minded Ji Siyue back to reality.
"Ah, I'm a bit behind in my notes. Let's wait until I finish copying them before we leave."
Hearing Tian Cheng's words, Ji Siyue chose to believe that this person was greeting his girlfriend, so she decided not to leave for the time being. After all, she had accidentally taken his milk. It would be a bit embarrassing to return it in front of his girlfriend.
"Oh my god, he's coming over... He's coming for us..."
Tian Cheng nervously bombarded Ji Siyue's ear. There was no one else in the classroom except the two of them. This handsome guy couldn't be a cleaner on duty coming in to clean, could he?
"I've found you."
A box of coconut milk was placed in front of Ji Siyue, blocking her view as she "pretended" to copy her notes.
Ji Siyue looked up. Qin Chengyao was standing at the bottom of the steps with one hand in his pocket.
He was quite fair - skinned. That was Ji Siyue's first impression.
"I... I didn't do it on purpose... I just accidentally took the wrong one..."
Ji Siyue embarrassedly touched her nose and silently reached out to hand the chocolate milk beside her to Qin Chengyao, but her hand grabbed nothing.
She turned her head and saw that Tian Cheng was slurping the chocolate milk.
"You don't think I came to find you because of a box of chocolate milk, do you?"
Qin Chengyao smiled as he looked at Ji Siyue's cute expression. The hand in his pocket took out a bunch of keys, which were exactly Ji Siyue's.
"My keys!"
Ji Siyue was stunned for a moment. She felt her pocket and found that her keychain was indeed gone.
"I picked them up in the store. I wanted to call you, but you ran a bit too fast."
Qin Chengyao laughed. His eyes were very beautiful, even more so when he smiled.
"Today is Monday. Only Teacher Sun has a night class at this time. I also took her elective course last semester."
Seeing that Ji Siyue still looked confused, Qin Chengyao couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Qin Chengyao from the Finance Department. I'm a junior this year, your senior."
Ji Siyue was sitting in a daze in front of the computer, facing the game interface. She had been in this state for nearly ten minutes.
Qin Chengyao had walked her to the dormitory building and even bought her a box of chocolate milk.
Wait a minute. Was there something wrong with how this was developing?
"Student Ji Siyue!"
A beam of light came from somewhere, making Ji Siyue close her eyes. She saw that her three roommates, led by Tian Cheng, surrounded her, each with a serious expression.
"Confess and you'll be lenient; resist and you'll be punished severely. When did you hook up with School Hunk Qin?"
"In the convenience store today... The wrongly - taken chocolate milk was his..."
Ji Siyue pushed away the blinding light and shrank her neck as she was surrounded by the three of them.
"I don't know him."
"I smell a hint of gossip."
Jin Zhiyan patted the facial mask on her face. She didn't show much expression, but Ji Siyue could read the inquisitive look in her big eyes.
"Stop sniffing. You might choke."
Ji Siyue waved her hand and logged into the game as soon as the time was right.
Whether it was Qin Chengyao or not didn't matter. Nothing was more important than her game.
Ji Siyue didn't really want to fall in love. After all, it would waste her gaming time.
As soon as she logged in, Ji Siyue saw that both her own faction and the whole world were filled with messages about forming teams to raid dungeons. She had only glanced at them for a few seconds when the chat box flashed a few times.
[Master] Golden Yuanbao: Quit your faction.
[Apprentice] Ji Siyue: ???
[Master] Golden Yuanbao: You can try to refuse.
As soon as these words were said, Ji Siyue felt a chill run down her spine.
Ji Siyue took a look at Golden Yuanbao's faction. There were only eight people in it, but their power ranked third in the whole server.
Looking at her own faction, Ji Siyue decisively quit and sincerely apologized to the leader of her original faction.
[System] Golden Yuanbao invites you to join the faction "The Fortune - Bringing Breakfast Shop". Do you agree?
Looking at the name of the faction, Ji Siyue wondered where this strong sense of absurdity was coming from.
Agree.
[Faction] Emerald: Welcome! Welcome, sister - in - law!
[Faction] Emerald retracted a message.
[Faction] Emerald: Welcome, junior apprentice - nephew.
[Faction] Golden Yuanbao: A five - person team. Let's directly raid the tower.
[Faction] Jiyueji: Isn't there eight people in our faction? Why is it a five - person team?
[Faction] Golden Yuanbao: Strictly speaking, there are only four people in our faction. Since the condition for forming a faction requires more than six people, we created some alt accounts and added them.
Ji Siyue was stunned for a moment and opened the faction member list.
Faction leader: Golden Yuanbao, members: Emerald, Amber, Ruby, Fried Cake, Tea Egg, Deep - Fried Dough Stick, Tofu Pudding, Jiyueji.
It was impossible not to laugh. She couldn't hold it back.
What an absurd faction! Was it still too late for her to quit now?
"Hello?"
A deep voice suddenly exploded in Ji Siyue's earphone, making her laughter stop abruptly.
"Can you hear me?"
Ji Siyue saw that in the newly formed team, the microphone next to Golden Yuanbao was flashing. Was this the voice of her cheap master?
"Yes, I can hear you!"
If Golden Yuanbao's voice was like a piece of gentle jade, then Emerald's voice was like a firecracker, making Ji Siyue quickly turn down the volume.
In an instant, four people had stood in front of Ji Siyue.
The level - 121 apothecary Golden Yuanbao, the level - 117 mecha pilot Amber, the level - 115 formation master Ruby, the level - 115 ghost blade Emerald, and the level - 89 artilleryman Jiyueji.
This combination seemed a bit strange no matter how she looked at it.
"Isn't there a warrior - type profession in our team?" Ji Siyue asked timidly. "Without a powerful damage dealer, is it really okay to raid the dungeon like this?"
"Don't worry, junior apprentice - nephew. Our damage dealer is the healer. They can both heal and deal damage. We just need to stay behind and gain experience."
Emerald's very hearty laughter didn't make Ji Siyue feel at ease. What should she do? She regretted it. The people in front of her seemed so unreliable.
However, the facts proved that the number - one player was indeed the number - one player. Even if it was a support, it was a violent support.
Ji Siyue had never seen a team that could raid a dungeon so quickly, nor had she seen such a group of people with such a tacit team cooperation.
They reached the 17th floor of the 18 - floor tower in just twelve minutes.
"Ruby, stand at the seven - o'clock position and prepare the soul - binding formation. Activate it after the ghost blade's triple jump."
Golden Yuanbao's commanding voice was calm and composed. Ji Siyue even seemed to hear the sound of him typing on the keyboard and moving the mouse.
"Amber, throw a magic - heavy mecha to attract the monsters and drive them towards the soul - binding formation. Ghost blade, use the shadow clone. After luring out the mini - boss, triple - jump towards the soul - binding formation."
The three people who received the instructions stood in their positions one by one and calmly carried out Golden Yuanbao's commands.
