Volume One, Chapter 54: The One with a House

Su Beibei: "Are you streaming tonight?"

Su Tong glanced at the time—it was already late—and replied, "No, I won't be streaming. I'm about to start military training, so I won't be online for a month."

After sending the message to Su Beibei, Su Tong decided to post the same announcement on her own profile, letting everyone know she would not be streaming for a month.

She hadn't expected to receive over ninety-nine replies in such a short time! When did she gain so many fans? But upon inspection, she found that most of them were from Su Beibei.

The mutated zombie that almost broke through was not actually killed by Zhang Zhao—he knew it had only retreated temporarily. Danger lurked everywhere; no matter how he calculated, it was a dead end.

Having just listened to the story of the blood ghoul, Chen Bo felt no urge to destroy it. Despite its ferocious appearance, it had endured a tragic history that provoked deep reflection.

Tord hugged herself, trembling. Her face betrayed not a hint of confusion. Judging by the blissful expression she wore, what she felt was more than mere joy.

As soon as the match began, Jing Chenzhe showed remarkable initiative. This round, he chose the jungle hero Blind Monk, and after a brief period of farming, immediately started roaming. Almost simultaneously, O Team's jungler, Bline, began his own maneuvers.

Ye Tan sighed, feeling both pity and annoyance for these people, but still decided to say something.

Before Sylvanas could reply, Loki's werewolf guards quickly restrained her and dragged her away. Reinforcements surged into the alley, restoring the balance of power between both sides.

When Hugo faced reporters, he did not speak honestly. He agreed with the media's analysis: Manchester United was indeed stronger than Trapani.

Ballack received his third card; no matter what, provoking the fans was wrong. Ballack could only accept it with resignation.

After hearing Fina's story that day, Richard felt a subtle change within himself. Behind him, Primatis glanced back and forth between Fina and Menia, his face twisted into a peculiar expression.

Such changes meant her ability to generate flames was inferior to her opponent's, or that her flame's flight speed was slower—or both.

Bing did not understand why these hands were holding him; he only knew he disliked them, so he had to find another way.

"Don't worry, Veil. I'll think of something. Where there's a will, there's a way," Lin Jue said, though his words lacked confidence and conviction.

Tang'er struggled to suppress her laughter, but eventually smiled. It wasn't a bold laugh, just a gentle raising of her lips that others might barely notice.

Sikong Jun decisively interrupted Yue Tianyue's pleading, urging him with his gaze to shoot again.

The winter sunlight shone over the open field. In the frozen world outside, it would have little effect, but in this mountain valley, it was warm and almost scorching. Combined with the tension before the battle began, even the spectators broke into a sweat.

"I think you'd better eat again…" Chunyu, seeing through Xu Liang's attempts to cover up, immediately advised him with a serious expression.

"All right, let's see your new insights and speed," he said, releasing her hand and adjusting his speed to fly alongside her.

He scored two points for his team, but not only did the audience fail to appreciate it—they booed him relentlessly! Faced with such an unexpected response, Lando stood frozen on the court, staring at his classmates in the stands, confused about what he'd done to upset them.

"Of course!" He hadn't realized how dangerous this was, only finding it amusing.

The Chancellor's residence was in the east, adjacent to the former home of Zhao Gao, occupying a most prominent spot.

"To see me?" Ning Sanque was bewildered, glancing at Luo Long. Luo Long shook his head, indicating he didn't know either. After all, the fortress's highest commander wanted to see him, so he followed along.
