Chapter 145: Level 3 System Maintenance Complete

The smile on Zhan Su's lips gradually faded.
Someone she likes means she has a boyfriend?
Having a boyfriend means she will carry someone else’s scent!
This was intolerable!
Could the person she likes be that Sheng Chao?
Zhan Su narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Like a leopard in the dead of night, he exuded a lethal aura.

[Private Chat] Zhi Yi Xing Nan: Great God, thank you for listening to my rants about that pervert today! I’ve finished the daily tasks for this account, so I’m logging off now.
[Private Chat] Su Sha: Do you have other accounts?
[Private Chat] Zhi Yi Xing Nan: That’s a given! Otherwise, how would I make a living? I’ve got elders to support and kids to raise... and a wife to provide for in the future!
Shi Qingqing blurted out nonsense casually.
[Private Chat] Su Sha: ...How many accounts are you power-leveling?
[Private Chat] Zhi Yi Xing Nan: Currently four daily accounts. I don’t have much time right now—I have to spend an hour every day working for that pervert, and I still have school! Otherwise, I could handle a few more. Ugh, just thinking about facing that pervert tomorrow makes me so annoyed!
[Private Chat] Su Sha: Then don't go?
[Private Chat] Zhi Yi Xing Nan: Can’t do that! He’ll eat me alive. If only his attitude were a bit better, if he weren't so overbearing—if he were gentle, considerate, and understanding like you, Great God, that would be perfect. I’m only putting up with him for the sake of the phone, but it’s a shame he’s such a total maniac.
[Private Chat] Su Sha: ...

Zhan Su read the words "gentle, considerate, and understanding" over and over again.
He frowned.
How to coexist peacefully and amicably with this stubborn "extra" named Shi Qingqing was also something he was very eager to figure out.
Gentle, considerate, understanding.
Summed up, that means not scolding her, paying her for the work, and occasionally listening to her complain—that’s it, right?

[Private Chat] Zhi Yi Xing Nan: Switching accounts now, goodbye Great God.
Watching her avatar go dark, Zhan Su logged out of the game as well.
Should he give this "extra" some wages tomorrow?
Spending two hours a day on such tedious power-leveling work?
What a waste of life!

Zhan Su opened his phone and pulled up the live feed of the balcony outside Shi Qingqing’s home again.
Through the slightly faded, sheer curtains on the balcony, he could vaguely make out the silhouette of Shi Qingqing sitting in front of her computer...
She seemed full of energy; was she alright?
Had the bump on her head healed?
The neighborhood was dilapidated and the streetlights were dim; he really couldn't see clearly. Zhan Su just left the screen fixed on that view.
Until 11 o'clock, when the lights in Shi Qingqing's home went out, and she went to sleep.

"Beep. The Level 3 initialization system maintenance is complete. The screen size has expanded from 4 inches to 4.2 inches. Red envelope search radius: 500 meters..."
Okay, indeed, the screen had grown a little larger.
But, wasn't there a mistake with this search radius?
It was 500 meters before the upgrade, too!
Shi Qingqing thought she had just woken up and had sleep in her eyes, preventing her from seeing clearly.
She rubbed the corners of her eyes and looked again.
Still 500 meters.
That was the first message; then, another beep followed.
"Beep. The Level 3 initialization system now allows red envelopes to be snatched from WeChat, Alipay, and any other social software on Earth that supports red envelopes, in addition to QQ. Furthermore, you can now snatch personal red envelopes and choose to remain anonymous..."
Wow!
It wasn't just limited to QQ anymore; it included WeChat, Alipay, and any social software on Earth that supported red envelopes!
No wonder the distance didn't increase—it had expanded the range of software from which she could snatch red envelopes instead.
