Summer Day, July 6st, just after 4 AM.
Shi Lei received a call from Li Zhiyue, asking her what was the matter. Since Li Zhiyue took the initiative to contact him, it must be something important.
"Shi Lei, are you free today?" Li Zhiyue asked softly.
If it weren't for Shi Lei's sharp hearing, he definitely wouldn't have heard Li Zhiyue's voice. "Yes! Yes! "
"Then come to my house for lunch!" Li Zhiyue said and hung up the phone.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, Shi Lei put down the phone with a strange expression. Li Zhiyue took the initiative to invite him to her house for lunch. What was going on?
For the time being, let's not talk about Shi Lei getting dressed and driving out to buy gifts. In the Hero's World, the School Championship Tournament and the Independent Team Championship Tournament would begin at 67 AM sharp on July 6st.
Players who were interested in participating in the School Championship Tournament and the Independent Team Championship Tournament had long been actively preparing. Among them were Storm, who represented Harvard College, and Blue Ocean, who represented Tempest Stronghold.
Although Blue Ocean wasn't very strong, if there were no accidents, the first place of the Independent Team Championship Tournament would definitely belong to Tempest Stronghold. Storm was very sure of this!
This was because in the Independent Team representing Tempest Stronghold, there wasn't only the Holy Light Priest in the top ten, there was also Qiao Mo, who won second place and obtained the title of Heaven Ranking Expert!
The Independent Team Championship Tournament was named after freedom. The teams participating in this tournament weren't limited to players or non-players controlling characters. For non-players like Qiao Mo, as long as they were willing to help, there wouldn't be any problems.
With two experts, Qiao Mo and the Holy Light Priest, representing Tempest Stronghold, wouldn't it be a joke if they couldn't win the Independent Team Championship Tournament?
As for the School Championship Tournament, there were stricter restrictions. One of the strictest rules was that only students of the school were qualified to represent the school.
Storm obtained the title of World Number One and represented Harvard College in the tournament. In Harvard College's team, the other nine members weren't weak either. They were all experts above level 77.
Harvard Academy had a high chance of getting first place in the School Championship Tournament!
If the Storm led Harvard Academy to first place in the School Championship Tournament, and if the Storm Stronghold also took first place in the Independent Team Championship Tournament, then the Storm would definitely become the undisputed number one in the Hero's World.
However, in order to assemble such a powerful lineup, Storm had paid a price. For example, Storm had paid a huge price to hire Qiao Mo to join the independent team competition.
Previously, in the early morning of the 2th month, Qiao Mo said that he needed 95,555 taels of gold. If converted to copper coins, it would be 81 million. Storm originally planned to use the system to purchase 81 million copper coins from the official virtual item trading system and exchange them for 95,555 gold taels for Qiao Mo.
However, in the official virtual item trading system, Storm found that the price of the copper coins had doubled. If it was only a doubling of the price, Tempest could still accept it. After all, money was just a number to Tempest. However, the official virtual item trading system did not have that many copper coins!
Since they could not directly give Qiao Mo 95,555 taels of gold and the prize money from the Independent Team Championship Tournament, they could choose real or game currency. Thus, Storm roped Qiao Mo in and joined the Independent Team Championship Tournament.
Once they got first place, they could choose the game currency reward and solve Qiao Mo's problem.
The reason why Qiao Mo needed 95,555 taels of gold wasn't because he was greedy. Instead, it was because Qiao Mo's lover had contracted a strange illness. If he wanted to cure her, he needed to buy the Extreme Clear Pill, which was worth 05,555 taels of gold.
Qiao Mo had won 65,555 taels of gold in the first Martial Championship Tournament, so he needed another 95,555 taels of gold.
It was because of these factors that Storm needed Qiao Mo's strength, and Qiao Mo needed the prize money from the Independent Team Championship Tournament. Thus, the two sides hit it off and colluded.
… …
Around ten in the morning, Shi Lei was in the Shapu District, choosing a gift for Li Zhiyue's parents.
It was easy to choose a gift for Li Zhiyue's mother. With Huang Fen's snobbish personality, she would only choose expensive gifts.
On the other hand, Professor Li Kunning wasn't easy to deal with. Luckily, Professor Li Kunning liked to drink tea. Shi Lei chose some high-end tea leaves. Even if Professor Li Kunning didn't like them, he wouldn't reject them.
After choosing the gift, Shi Lei drove back to Shuanghu District and entered Shuangqing University with special permission. However, in order to not alert the Shuangqing government, when Shi Lei entered Shuangqing University, the university's security system gave him a warning, but he was still allowed to pass.
The advantage of doing this was that, from the details, even the person who created the school's security system didn't have the authority to directly penetrate the school's security system. In the future, if there were any problems with the Shuangqing City's social security system, Shi Lei wouldn't be suspected.
Shi Lei drove the white Porsche Cayenne into the teachers' living area and stopped below Li Zhiyue's house. After parking the car, Shi Lei took the prepared gift and went upstairs to Li Zhiyue's house.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
Shi Lei knocked on the anti-theft door, and Huang Fen's voice sounded, "Who is it?"
"Auntie, it's me, Xiao Shi!" Shi Lei replied.
"Xiao Shi? Wait a moment, I'll open the door right away. "Huang Fen's tone was filled with joy. How could she not be happy? When did Shi Lei come without a gift?
After the anti-theft door was opened, Huang Fen hurriedly said, "Xiao Shi, come in, come in. It's very hot outside. Come in and enjoy the air-conditioning."
In July in Shuangqing City, the hot weather was definitely a free dry sauna!
Shi Lei smiled as he entered the house and handed the prepared gift to Huang Fen. "Auntie, I came in a hurry, so I could only prepare a small gift. I hope you don't mind!"
This time, Shi Lei's gift was still very tacky. It was a large gold bracelet. It looked like a nouveau riche, but Huang Fen really liked it!
Huang Fen opened the red gift box without any embarrassment. After seeing the large gold bracelet, her attitude towards Shi Lei became even more cordial. It was definitely the feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him!
"Xiao Shi, you don't have to bring gifts every time you come." Huang Fen pretended to be polite and said.
Shi Lei didn't point it out. Instead, he said indifferently, "Auntie, these are just small things. They're not worth much. As long as you don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind. Let's go to the living room and have some fruit. We'll go out and eat together later." Huang Fen gestured to Shi Lei to the living room.
Shi Lei walked into the living room. There were not only Li Kunning and Li Zhiyue, but also three other people. One of them, after seeing Shi Lei walk in, immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Hello, Mr. Shi!"
"Oh?" Shi Lei looked at that person and found that it was Li Hao, Li Zhiyue's cousin who was currently working in Fantasy Technology Company. The two people next to him were his parents, Li Kunxi and Qian Fangfang.
Li Hao's work was very simple. He was mainly responsible for the follow-up service of Shuangqing City's campus security system. To put it more bluntly, he was responsible for building relationships with various schools that had installed campus security systems and running errands.
"Li Hao, it's not working hours now. You don't have to call me Mr. Shi." Shi Lei said indifferently.
Huang Fen nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Hao, don't be so distant. Xiao Shi will be your brother-in-law in the future. So, you'd better behave yourself in front of your brother-in-law. Otherwise, even if your brother-in-law beats you, you won't be able to reason with him at home! "
"Mom! What are you talking about? " Li Zhiyue's white face flushed. She looked at Huang Fen reproachfully and rolled her eyes at Shi Lei who was in a daze.
Li Hao looked at Shi Lei and then at Li Zhiyue. His eyes rolled. "Could it be that Mr. Shi and my sister … This is not right! Rumor has it that Mr. Shi and Mr. Mu are a couple, right? Could it be that Mr. Shi is two-timing? What should I do? Should I tell my sister about it? " If I tell her, she and Mr. Shi will get into a fight. What if I'm dragged into this? Wouldn't I be in trouble? "
Li Hao was very satisfied with his current job!
His daily work was too simple. In the morning, he would go to the Fantasy Technology Company in the Jade Building to sign in. After that, he could leave the company under the pretext of inspecting the campus security system. In the afternoon, he didn't need to go to the company to report again.
In other words, Li Hao could do whatever he wanted with his daily work after signing in. Moreover, the company also provided him with a Santana sedan.
Although the Santana sedan wasn't very high-end, it was still a car, wasn't it? Moreover, the company would reimburse him for the various expenses of this car!
Li Hao's job was leisurely and relaxed, but his salary wasn't low! His monthly salary was a total of five thousand yuan! In 7552, when the average salary was a thousand yuan, Li Hao's salary was definitely at the level of a tall, rich, and handsome man!
It was precisely because of such a relaxed job, high salary, and frequent campus visits that Li Hao had successfully found a girlfriend at Shuangqing University who was at the level of the prettiest girl in the class.
"Sister, I'm sorry. You'd better do as you see fit when it comes to matters of the heart!" Li Hao comforted himself in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Li Zhiyue, but it was her freedom to love. If Li Zhiyue wanted to be with Shi Lei, as her cousin, he couldn't say anything, right?
"Hmm!" Li Kunning snorted softly. He glanced at Shi Lei and said, "Shi Lei, next time you come, don't bring any tea leaves. We haven't finished the tea leaves from last time!"
Although Li Kunning's tone wasn't very friendly, Shi Lei was a smart person. Since Li Kunning said "next time," didn't that mean that he could still come and find Li Zhiyue?
"That's strange. Professor Li is so stubborn. Why did he suddenly change?" Shi Lei looked at Li Kunning suspiciously and then looked at Li Zhiyue.
Li Zhiyue saw Shi Lei's confusion and said, "Shi Lei, my dad has been promoted to the vice-dean of the Department of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering!"
"Oh! Congratulations, Dean Li! "Shi Lei immediately changed his words and congratulated him with a smile.
Although Li Kunning wasn't greedy for gold and silver, he absolutely loved fame and fortune. Shi Lei had put in a lot of effort to become the vice dean of the Department of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering. Therefore, Li Kunning couldn't express any obvious opposition to Shi Lei and Li Zhiyue's relationship.
One of the conditions to prevent Shi Lei and Li Zhiyue from being together had finally been met. Now, there was only one more problem waiting to be solved.
Once Shi Lei obtained the complete data of the Super Biological Project and mastered this technology, the age gap between him and Li Zhiyue would no longer be a problem!
