Esper X Family – Chapter 395 – Sorry for Not Letting Little Yao Enjoy Herself Enough

Accompanied by rousing electronic sound effects and a dazzling victory animation on the screen.

The match was decided.

The battle had ended so quickly, so thoroughly.

The moment the victory screen froze in place.

Ye Yao’s terrifying aura instantly receded.

That suffocating presence, which had overwhelmed both Fu Qi and Lou Wei in the air, vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed in the first place.

She returned from an unfathomable level back to three hundred.

One second, she was an earth-shaking storm; the next, she had settled into a gentle, tranquil stream.

Despite having revealed her hand, she once again suppressed her mental power to match Ye Yao’s scale.

It was undoubtedly a twisted sense of humor.

Fu Qi felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

Ye Yao let out a soft breath, a smile of satisfaction on her face.

It was as if the earth-shattering pressure from moments ago had just been an ordinary gaming session.

“Phew, that was a great match, Uncle.”

Ye Yao’s voice returned to its usual crisp tone, tinged with a hint of smugness.

See that?

My gaming skills are no joke!

When she got serious, she was actually quite skilled.

Even the so-called Strongest in History was nothing but a stray dog on the roadside.

When it came to gaming, all she had to do was beat the Strongest of the Current Era to claim the title of the World’s Strongest!

If anyone ever called her a noob again, she would fight them!

However, the room was dead silent.

Fu Qi sat stiffly in his chair, his fingers still resting on the joystick and buttons, his eyes staring vacantly at the word “Defeat” on the screen.

The game was over, the lingering victory theme still echoing in the room.

After a moment, Fu Qi finally snapped out of it. He opened his mouth to speak but couldn’t manage a single syllable.

To be honest, if Ye Tong wanted an offline PK, she could have just said so. There was no need to be so roundabout.

Using mental pressure to dominate a game and then acting like she had skills.

It was absolutely unplayable!

Ye Yao immediately made a sound of displeasure.

“Oh? Is Uncle not convinced?”

“I’m convinced.”

Fu Qi was truly out of options.

Bro, I can’t breathe.

Ye Yao nodded in satisfaction.

“Uncle, you’re really strong. I probably won’t forget you for the rest of my life.”

“I’m sorry for not letting Little Yao enjoy herself enough…”

Ye Yao felt like humming with delight.

That was exactly what she wanted to hear!

Her path to gaming supremacy only required crushing Lou Wei!

I’ll crush him as soon as I get home!

“Alright, Uncle, go do your thing. I’m going to play games with my friends.”

After crushing Fu Qi, Ye Yao promptly dismissed him.

This uncle didn’t seem likely to drop attribute points anymore. Putting pressure on him was getting boring.

She would let him recover a bit. It’s all about sustainable development!

Fu Qi left the sofa like a zombie.

The moment he reached his room, he used his ability to teleport, reappearing beside Lou Wei.

“Lou Wei, I feel like my dignity is completely shattered.”

“Worthless things aren’t missed when broken.”

“Don’t act so smug. It’ll be your turn sooner or later.”

Fu Qi snorted coldly, steadying his emotions.

Looking at how things had gone, it seemed like he had barely passed Ye Tong’s test, which was why she hadn’t been too harsh.

Her concern for Ye Yao was absolutely genuine.

If he hadn’t considered Ye Yao’s feelings just now and continued to be on guard, he probably wouldn’t have been let off so easily by Ye Tong.

It was a close call.

Now, only one question remained.

What was the deal with Ye Tong’s mental power?

It certainly appeared to be a value of three hundred, so how had it suddenly soared to an incomprehensible level?

This wasn’t a disposable compressed towel ¹ These things. They expand when you put water on them. .

Lou Wei was also deep in thought.

“Perhaps it’s an effect of the world-destroying ability.”

“Then, what about that three hundred mental power? Is it real or fake? Could Ye Yao’s mental power also exhibit this phenomenon?”

This time, Lou Wei fell silent.

There had always been a significant point of doubt regarding Ye Tong: her baseline mental power had never been revealed.

Every time she had appeared before, she was shrouded in black mist, making her true state unreadable. Naturally, her baseline mental power was also unknown.

Later, she appeared in her young girl form, which was suspected to be an effect of Jiang Huashen’s ability, which also concealed Ye Tong’s actual level.

In the end, no one knew her true mental power.

That explosive posture seemed more like an altered state activated by her ability.

This raised a question.

If the person here was indeed Ye Tong herself, was her actual mental power only three hundred?

Exactly the same as Ye Yao?

Reаⅾ оn ΚatRеαԁiոɡCαfе

That was almost inconceivable.

It would imply that Ye Yao’s mental power could also leap from three hundred to Ye Tong’s terrifying scale.

“Lou Wei, did you think of that too?”

Fu Qi had naturally reached the same conclusion.

“Mm.”

Both of their moods became somewhat somber.

Then, Fu Qi took a deep breath and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“Probably only Ye Tong can do that. If she really is Ye Yao’s ability avatar, then it makes sense that she holds most of the power.

“Ye Yao, whose ability escaped, can’t do these things unless they fuse back together to become the ‘Tong Yao’ from last week. So we don’t have to worry about Ye Yao reading minds, or her mental power suddenly exploding.”

“Perhaps.”

The day ended quickly.

After obtaining attribute points, Ye Yao didn’t continue to bother Fu Qi.

She either played games with Luo Jianhua and the others or exchanged cryptic riddles with Tu Sheng.

It wasn’t until Ye Tong returned to the dormitory with the group of little lolis that Fu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I hope it’s not her again next week…”

Otherwise, he really couldn’t take it.

Dealing with Ye Tong was pure torture.

The key was that she was flawless when she pretended to be Ye Yao. It only made Fu Qi suspect that he was being possessed by Brother Fire ² Lee: Palefire from Punishing Gray Raven. Apparently dude was hyped up to be a super god-tier meta defining character and such, but isn’t actually that strong on release. .

Now, they could only wait for news from Luo Jianhua.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s higher-ups had deduced a pattern.

If Luo Jianhua didn’t send word, it meant that the silver-haired girl was still Ye Tong.

Although they desperately wanted to tell Luo Jianhua “blink twice if you’re being threatened”, they refrained from giving such instructions, knowing that it would harm her.

Rеαd оո КαtRеαⅾingСafе

Perhaps only when Ye Tong truly left would Luo Jianhua have the chance to notify the higher-ups.

Night.

Ye Yao lay in bed scrolling through her phone, and also checking the impact of her livestream from yesterday.

The Countermeasures Bureau seemed to have stepped in.

However, instead of limiting its reach, they collaborated with her to spread the story of Sequence Zero.

Of course, they didn’t doxx anyone. They simply confirmed the existence of such a special organization.

They also posted information about some high-risk sequences that were already dead, further proving Sequence Zero’s credibility.

As a result, Sequence Zero’s reputation exploded online.

This mysterious organization sparked intense discussion.

Many people were drawn to it, curious about the kind of people within.

Fortunately, the Countermeasures Bureau’s confidentiality was solid.

Practically no one knew the truth, only that there was a streamer’s friend and a mysterious wriggly man.

But that didn’t stop Sequence Zero from trending and earning everyone’s respect.

【Found Family “Sequence Zero” has gained public recognition. Reward: 10 attribute points.】

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 90】

“Hm-hmm~ Not bad!”

Ye Yao let out a satisfied hum.
