These days, besides doing things for Ye Bugui, he spends the rest of his time browsing game forums.
On the forum, Lu Shi has been praised to the skies, and Wei Jin has even seen someone predict that Lu Shi will top the leaderboard.
"This must be a case of flattery to kill!" Wei Jin commented on the post.
Unexpectedly, his rational remarks not only failed to garner approval, but instead led to him being labeled a hater by Lu Shi's fans.
If it weren't for the anonymity allowed on gaming forums, Wei Jin would probably have already been challenged to a fight offline.
Lu Shi's teammate Ye Bugui also received a lot of attention, but strangely, no one on the forum discovered Ye Bugui's true identity.
That puzzled Wei Jin, because he remembered that President Ye had specifically mentioned to him that many people in the game knew him before he cleared the game.
Could it be that everyone who used to know him has been eliminated from the game?
Impossible. Wei Jin was more inclined to believe that the system was behind it, making those people forget Ye Bugui's former identity.
Once the forum players were certain that Ye Bugui was just a new player, they felt nothing but jealousy and envy.
I envy him for drawing a card with an amazing effect, and I envy him even more for being bound to Lu Shi.
Of course, Wei Jin also saw posts from several other female players in the instance.
They all praised Lu Shi and Ye Bugui's performance, and then these people were all recruited by the top ten guilds.
"Looks like they're planning to use them to play the emotional card?" Wei Jin shook his head casually. Based on his understanding of Lu Shi and Ye Bugui, neither of them were the type to let others influence their decisions.
The next morning, Wei Jin was summoned to Ye Bugui's office.
"Are you ready?" Ye Bugui sat on the bronze chair, while Lu Shi had his back to them, holding his phone above his head and shaking it back and forth, as if he were praying for blessings.
"I'm ready." Wei Jin couldn't help but glance at the situation over there. "What is the Demon Lord doing?"
"Him? He plays video games." Ye Bugui sighed.
"King of Glory? Won't his teammates curse at him?" Wei Jin asked in a low voice.
He had heard Ye Bugui say that although Lu Shi was perfect in every way, he had no talent for playing games. After playing King of Glory intensively for a week, the Demon Lord was still dominating in the Gold rank.
Of course, there is an objective reason: the Demon Lord only wants to play handsome male characters, which leads to his bizarre behavior of often playing Li Bai as a support with a 0-7-0 score.
“He was reported,” Ye Bugui cleared his throat. “He couldn’t log into the game for 24 hours, so he went to play a gacha mobile game instead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shi stretched out his hand and then looked at Ye Bugui pleadingly.
No matter how many times Ye Bugui saw that look, he couldn't bear it and wished he could tear his heart out immediately.
"Out of diamonds again?" Ye Bugui asked softly.
"Okay, I'll top up 648 yuan this time, and I won't top up any more money in the future! Consider this money a loan from you!" Lu Shi said earnestly.
Soon, Lu Shi's phone rang with the sound of a money transfer.
Wei Jin glanced at her phone screen and saw that Lu Shi had received 10,000 yuan.
He sighed, feeling that he shouldn't be there.
Ye Bugui smiled and said, "Have you finished drawing? If you have, we'll be ready to leave."
Lu Shi, who was still drawing cards, immediately put down his phone and said seriously, "Let's go now, and I'll come back and continue drawing after I clear the game."
Wei Jin's ears twitched. He really wanted to tell Lu Shi not to make such a promise.
A beam of light shone, and the three of them instantly lost consciousness.
Everyone in the company quickly forgot about the three people and continued with their own lives and work.
...
There were many players in the amusement park, and one of them started crying and making a scene on the roadside because he had to participate in a dungeon that only lasts once every 15 days.
Some people had just escaped from the dungeon and were lying on the ground shouting with joy.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
However, the moment Lu Shi and Ye Bugui appeared, almost everyone looked at them.
If gaming forums had trending topics, Lu Shi and Ye Bugui would definitely be dominating the list of trending topics recently.
"Isn't that the Demon Lord?" one player exclaimed eagerly as the character landed. "He's so handsome!"
"What's the use of being handsome?" one male player scoffed. "His skills are amazing! I wish I could team up with him!"
"Yes, if he had led the team, I would definitely have survived the next dungeon." A female player said, biting her lip, and then finally burst into tears.
Lu Shi and Ye Bugui were used to being the center of attention, so no matter how excited the players around them were, it didn't affect them.
However, Wei Jin, as the third party, wished he could immediately drink an invisibility potion.
At this moment, a player stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said to the landing player:
"Hello, may I team up with you?"
Ye Bugui shook his head and refused him outright: "No, we don't team up with strangers."
"But how did he get in here?" The man blushed and pointed at the innocent Wei Jin.
“He’s our friend,” Lu Shi said. “And we’re going to an S-rank dungeon next. Are you sure you want to come?”
Upon hearing this, all the players who were waiting to emulate the man's actions and seek to team up with him dispersed.
They had a clear understanding of their own abilities and knew very well that even with Lu Shi and Ye Bugui as their two strong allies, they could not survive in an S-level dungeon.
However, the news that Lu Shi and Ye Bugui were going to an S-rank dungeon quickly spread on the game forums.
...
Suddenly, a head popped out of the bottomless, deep blue lake.
That's Modi.
"An S-rank dungeon?" He smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
The next second, this world-renowned wilderness survivalist disappeared from the lake.
...
"Should I have said that?" Lu Shi realized his mistake after taking a few steps.
"It's alright." Ye Bugui walked ahead nonchalantly: "Even if someone is willing to go to an S-rank dungeon, it depends on luck whether they run into us. Even if they do, we're not afraid."
When they entered the room and began selecting a game, Lu Shi proactively inserted a game cartridge marked with an "S" into the machine.
The number of instances that appeared before them this time was significantly less, but it was still in the double digits.
"Have you been to any of these places?" Lu Shi asked immediately.
Ye Bugui shook his head: "No, they are all dungeons I haven't seen before."
Wei Jin remained silent throughout, only able to pray in his heart that they could be given a relatively simple dungeon.
After the spinning game cover stopped, all three of them instantly lost consciousness.
Only one line of text appeared on the screen:
"Dreams Come True Group".
...
"name."
A kind-looking lady sat in the bright room.
The light screen behind her displays the room's temperature and humidity, indicators that are most suitable for human survival.
She even changed the scent in the air to her favorite lavender fragrance because of the new employees' resumes.
Of course, the room is also decorated with a series of items that can make people feel happy, such as teddy bears, dried flowers, and literary books.
When the woman opened her eyes, she felt no fear of entering an unfamiliar environment, only warmth and joy.
She thought, "No wonder this place is the Dream Come True Group; it's been rated as the most suitable place for human habitation for ten consecutive years."
“Sorry to interrupt your thoughts.” The woman, wearing a pale yellow coat, with light makeup and a slightly plump face from happiness, smiled. “Do you like it here? But I need to register your name and answer some simple questions before you can officially join us.”
“Of course, ma’am.” The beautiful woman immediately lowered her head.
Good heavens, she was so lost in thought that she didn't answer the prosecutor's question in time.
But the prosecutor was surprisingly good-natured and didn't blame her at all!
She must work and live well at the Dream Come True Group!
"My name is Azi." The woman suddenly covered her face with shame. "I used to be a scavenger, but... but I wasn't infected!"
“I know,” the prosecutor said gently. “The fact that you are here means that you have passed our baptism. Azi, do you remember your original life? Before you became a scavenger.”
“I…” Azi was about to think when she found her head throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode, as if countless ants were gnawing at her brain. “I don’t remember.”
"Okay, so what kind of person do you most want to be?" The prosecutor seemed quite satisfied with Azi's answer.
“I want to be a singer,” Azi said shyly, “and it would be even better if I were a superstar.”
"A good dream." The prosecutor nodded. "From now on, I will arrange for a vocal coach to serve you every day. And your first album will be completed within a month. I look forward to you becoming a superstar."
As Azi got up to leave, the prosecutor gave her a form: "Fill it out and take it to the housing department."
Azi lowered her head, glanced at the form, and couldn't hide her surprise.
This is actually a housing demand form.
For example, does she prefer a detached villa or a skyscraper? Does she prefer a sea view property or one far from entertainment areas?
Even the style of decoration and the materials used can be chosen.
The last sentence of the form struck a chord with her: "We will provide you with your dream home, free of charge."
...
"Next!"
The prosecutor looked up and saw a handsome man with long hair.
