Chapter 1 People Assembled

Looking at the message sent by An Wenyi, Ye Xiu and Chen Guo realized that among the many people who had arrived one after another, only An Wenyi had given a heads-up beforehand, stating his approximate arrival time.

Although this was just a small detail without much impact, it showed that An Wenyi was more considerate than the others.

"In that case, our people are all here." Chen Guo was a little excited. The members of Team Happy were finally gathering together. Chen Guo's mind was filled with cliché phrases like a new world opening its doors and the gears of history beginning to turn.

An Wenyi, who was on his way, naturally didn't appear in the game again. However, there were no more Bosses to fight this week anyway, and even if there were, An Wenyi's current strength wouldn't be enough to affect the overall situation.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 7:30 in the evening, but the Happy crew hadn't even had dinner yet, planning to wait for An Wenyi to arrive. However, An Wenyi said that 7:35 was just the time he would arrive in H City; it would still take some time to get to the Happy Internet Cafe. Chen Guo and the other locals were naturally more aware of this time frame and weren't in a hurry at the moment. Around 8:30 in the evening, everyone put down the games they were playing. If everything went smoothly, An Wenyi should be arriving around that time.

An Wenyi once again proved with details that he was a reliable person. At the time Chen Guo had predicted, An Wenyi appeared precisely at the Happy Internet Cafe.

Wearing glasses and appearing gentle and refined, An Wenyi greeted everyone in a reserved manner. He didn't particularly suck up to the boss or the great god, nor did he show any unusual emotions toward Baozi's erratic behavior or Mo Fan's indifference. Clearly, he was someone who didn't show his emotions, remaining calm beyond his age. In terms of dealing with people, he was significantly more mature than Luo Ji, who was also still a student.

"We're all waiting for you, let's go get some food first!" Chen Guo greeted An Wenyi as the host.

"Luo Ji and An Wenyi just arrived today, so let's not go far and just grab a bite nearby," Chen Guo then briefly explained to everyone. There weren't any particularly outstanding restaurants near the Happy Internet Cafe, and Chen Guo didn't want everyone to feel slighted.

However, everyone present clearly didn't care about such things and went out in a throng. They had to be quick, because they also had Su Mucheng in their group!

Su Mucheng being in the Happy Internet Cafe recently was also a very risky thing. If she was recognized by fans, it would definitely cause a commotion. She was also a Jia Shi idol second only to Ye Xiu. Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin were certainly also very popular, but they couldn't compare to Su Mucheng, who had been with Jia Shi for many years and had a more stable foundation.

Protecting Su Mucheng, the group left the Internet cafe and headed straight for the pre-booked private room in the restaurant under Chen Guo's lead.

Chen Guo also took care of ordering the food without any hesitation. When it came to drinks, she gathered everyone's opinions.

"Drinking? Haha, someone's going to embarrass themselves," Wei Chen said, his scornful gaze already sweeping toward Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu said solemnly, "I never drink."

"I don't need any either," Qiao Yifan said hurriedly.

"Baozi is definitely drinking," Wei Chen patted Baozi hard twice.

Baozi seemed to feel valued and became quite excited, rolling up his sleeves as if he was about to start a fight. "Drink if you drink."

"Who else is drinking?" Wei Chen held the drink menu, his eyes scanning the remaining three. These three had just arrived and weren't too familiar with everyone yet. Luo Ji looked at An Wenyi, and An Wenyi was also looking at the other two, waiting for someone else to speak first. As a result, Mo Fan didn't look at anyone and directly replied with two words: "Don't drink."

"What about you two?" Wei Chen didn't pay him much attention.

"Then let's have a drink together!" An Wenyi said.

"I can't drink too much, five glasses!" The mathematician Luo Ji calculated his alcohol tolerance quite accurately, measuring it with the beer glass in front of him as he spoke.

"So weak." Wei Chen鄙视了一下. Those beer glasses, five glasses were just a little over a bottle. Such a drinking capacity was indeed a bit tragic. Even Ye Xiu's face showed a slightly relieved expression, probably because he found someone who could be at the bottom with him.

"There's still something to do tonight, so let's not drink too much. Everyone order according to their own capacity!" Wei Chen said, calmly waving to the waiter. "Bring me a case."

Everyone was shocked, even Mo Fan and An Wenyi slightly changed color and looked at Wei Chen, clearly surprised by his drinking capacity. Baozi had already started shouting in a bluffing manner, "A case!! That's very impressive, how many is that?"

"Yes, very impressive, there are 24 bottles!" Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"24 bottles, you're too amazing, Old Wei!" Baozi continued to shout.

Wei Chen's face turned pale at this moment, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said, "What? Is a case 24 bottles?"

"Hehe, what did you think?" Ye Xiu smiled.

"Cough... what about this, how much do you all drink? If you can't figure it out right away, just take it from me first," Wei Chen said to the three who were going to drink.

Luo Ji was about to nod, but Ye Xiu had already spoken first, "How can we be so impolite? What if there's someone who can drink more and drinks too much, wouldn't you not have enough?"

"Won't I just order more if I don't have enough?" Wei Chen said.

"Order another case?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Do you have any objections?" Wei Chen said.

"Hehe!" Ye Xiu smiled.

"Heh your sister!" Wei Chen knew that he had already been seen through by Ye Xiu, so he stopped pretending and said with great indignation, "A case in our place only has 12 bottles, is the case in H City particularly big?"

Only then did the others completely understand that Wei Chen had made a joke, and they immediately burst into laughter. However, with Wei Chen's psychological fortitude, he didn't change his expression at all. He lit a cigarette and took the opportunity to reminisce about his past.

A case of wine was brought up, and no one dared to challenge Wei Chen to drink it all by himself. The three girls and Ye Xiu and Qiao Yifan, who didn't drink, all took a symbolic sip, while Mo Fan refused with another "don't drink." The rest was taken over by the remaining four people. But when it came to the four people, Luo Ji's five glasses of beer were basically the same as not drinking at all. However, mathematicians were scientific, so how could drinking five glasses be considered not drinking? It was just that his alcohol tolerance was very, very small.

So the people who eliminated most of the beer were actually Wei Chen, Baozi, and An Wenyi. The three of them had an average of about six bottles each, which wasn't too much, but the effects of the alcohol were already showing. Wei Chen and Baozi were clearly talking more, but An Wenyi was still as calm as he had been at the beginning, making it impossible to tell that he was someone who had downed six bottles of beer.

"Xiao An is alright, keeping it hidden!" Wei Chen was also surprised.

"It's okay, any more and I'll be drunk," An Wenyi said, but no one believed him. Judging by what everyone could see, Wei Chen and Baozi seemed more likely to get drunk first.

"Not bad, promising!" Wei Chen said with emotion.

"No more, no more." Baozi, having finished the last drop in the wine bottle, touched his round belly and sighed with emotion.

"Want some more?" Wei Chen intended to try his skills against An Wenyi again. He had called for a case right away, and although it was a joke, the small case of 12 bottles was also his true intention. Wei Chen couldn't possibly want to get himself drunk for others to laugh at, so this was naturally within his ability. Now, with a little over six bottles, there was still a gap from his ability range.

"Next time, there are more opportunities. Luo Ji is already asleep," An Wenyi said.

Wei Chen glanced at Luo Ji, who was趴 in the table, and was also speechless. Mathematicians were indeed honest and rigorous. The five glasses he mentioned weren't that he would get drunk after drinking them, but that he would get drunk right away after drinking them. After five glasses, Luo Ji quickly fell asleep on the table.

"Okay, next time, we'll drink again when there are no more of these good-for-nothings," Wei Chen said.

"Don't corrupt young people. You know that professional players should drink as little alcohol as possible, right?" Ye Xiu said.

Wei Chen was stunned for a moment, then took a deep drag on his cigarette and nodded, "You're right." After saying that, he looked at An Wenyi and the others, his expression actually becoming a little melancholic. "You still have a future, that's great. Don't drink alcohol again in the future." After saying that, he picked up his glass, didn't招呼 Baozi or An Wenyi, drank it all in one gulp himself, stood up, and directly招呼 everyone, "Let's go, let's go back."

"Call Luo Ji," Chen Guo said.

"Wake up, you waste!" Baozi gave Luo Ji a punch on the head.

"Baozi, don't mess around, this head might be a national treasure!" Ye Xiu hurriedly stopped Baozi.

"National treasure?" Baozi asked in confusion.

"Mathematician!" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?" Baozi seemed to understand. However, Luo Ji had already woken up in a daze after receiving this punch. He drank the least, but he was the most drunk. Even after sleeping, his eyes were still bloodshot.

"Can you walk?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yes," Luo Ji said.

"Baozi, hold him up a bit," Ye Xiu said.

"Too useless, sigh, how could I have a useless little brother like you?" Baozi sighed with great melancholy, came over, and dragged Luo Ji up. "Can you stand up?"

"No need to hold me, I can walk on my own!" Luo Ji struggled.

The meal was eaten late, and it was already quite late when they dispersed. The Bosses for this week had already been刷 clean, and there was nothing important to do in the game. Luo Ji and An Wenyi had just arrived, so everyone simply went to the rented apartment in the neighborhood together.

The six residential rooms on the second floor were all prepared according to the standard of 12 people living in them, with two people in one room. Wei Chen and the others moved in one by one, but Ye Xiu and Chen Guo never came again. Now that they came for a visit, the four people who had arrived earlier each had their own room, and no one was living with anyone else.

Next were the newly arrived An Wenyi and Luo Ji, and it seemed like they would just occupy the remaining two rooms, one person per room. But Chen Guo stopped them, "Don't fill them all up, right? It's not too late for people to share rooms when more people come later, but what if a girl comes?"

When everyone heard this, it made sense! And there were actually girls already, just that they hadn't moved in yet.

"Well, then Luo Ji will go with Baozi, and Xiao An, you and Qiao Yifan will be in one room. I smoke often, so I'll wait for that guy to come over and live here," Wei Chen casually arranged everything.

"Yes, this arrangement is good, should we try living here tonight?" Chen Guo turned her head and asked the other few who hadn't moved here yet. The six rooms, everything inside had already been arranged and cleaned up.

"Live if you want to live!" Ye Xiu didn't care at all.
