“Thank you, Feifei.” Wanyu was also moved by Yifei's words. She really didn't want to leave everyone in the apartment, and she was afraid that her identity being exposed would cause trouble for their friendship. But now, things were back to normal, and she no longer felt guilty about deceiving her good friends.
“Ahem.” Zeng Teacher coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention. He straightened his collar, and everyone realized that he was dressed very formally today.
Guangu clapped his hands together. “I know! Zeng Teacher, do you also have some kind of big secret identity to reveal?”
“It's called a big surprise.” Meijia corrected him helplessly.
But after hearing Guangu's words, everyone else was curious. Could this guy also be a runaway wealthy son?
Zeng Teacher wiggled his eyebrows and said, “You're overthinking it. I don't have such a grand identity, but my career is about to reach its peak! Hahahaha!”
“Cut it out.”
“You, a dead announcer, reaching your peak? I think you're heading for the graveyard, daydreaming all day long.” Hu Yifei sneered sarcastically.
“I'm serious. I've heard some inside information that a new female producer, Lisa Rong, is coming to our radio station. My show will definitely become a huge success! “Your Moon My Heart” will be a big hit! Then I will be a real superstar, hahaha.” Zeng Teacher was getting more and more excited as he spoke, but his expression was so smug, his eyebrows twitching, it looked like he was about to ascend to heaven.
This series of news left Xue Mo Yin speechless. “Zeng Teacher, hold on. I don't understand your logic. Why will your show become a big hit just because a new female producer comes in?”
Ziqiao said, “Mo Yin, you just don't understand. It means Zeng Teacher is going to sell his looks! But that woman has some serious taste, she's willing to go for Zeng Teacher.”
Everyone understood after this explanation, and they looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with disdain. Wanyu even gave a thumbs-down gesture, saying with disgust, “Zeng Teacher, you actually accepted a bribe, I despise you!”
Now it was Zeng Teacher's turn to be dumbfounded. He was about to explain, but Hu Yifei spoke from the side, “Alright, alright, go ahead and leave him alone. This creep, let him do whatever he wants. He's a disgrace to our Love Apartment.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, turned and left, not giving Zeng Teacher a chance to explain. He was left alone, feeling miserable.
Downstairs in the bar, Hu Yifei asked Xue Mo Yin, “Where were you yesterday? You were busy for so long?”
“Want to know? I won't tell you.”
Hu Yifei's forehead started sweating, “Are you planning to become the second creep in our apartment?”
“Just kidding, just kidding.” Xue Mo Yin shook his head. Actually, he had gone to see Xiao Tian yesterday for a reason. The 3601 and 3602 apartments were both full, but not all the people from Love Apartment had arrived yet. Qin Yumeng, Tang Youyou, Zhang Wei would be coming soon. Guangu also needed a studio, Yifei needed a laundry room, and he needed a study. This was a problem that needed to be addressed sooner or later.
So yesterday he went to see Xiao Tian and asked him to buy the entire building. Even though the Love Apartment was only rented, not sold, the price was right. Plus, the pressure from Li Tianyi, the famous playboy, made the deal happen quickly. Now he could modify the building and connect all the balconies on the six floors, making it easier for everyone to move in later.
He also planned to turn the third floor into a large training room, which would not be open to the public, because it would be inconvenient to run so far every time they trained. Xue Mo Yin didn't intend to tell anyone about these plans. He wanted to give everyone some surprises later.
“Don't worry, it's good news. You'll know soon enough.”
Seeing that he wasn't going to tell, Yifei rolled her eyes at him, but didn't press further. “By the way, where's Red Queen?”
Hearing her mention it, Xue Mo Yin realized they had brought Red Queen back with them. He said awkwardly, “Uh, I think I left her in my space backpack.”
Yifei slapped her forehead, “I knew you forgot!”
“It's not my fault. None of us know how to use this thing. It was originally for Zhanbo. Zhanbo is a bit reluctant, so Red Queen is just eating dust in my space backpack.”
Hu Yifei was helpless. Her little brother was just like that. But there was something she didn't quite understand, “Why do you care so much about them? You can see that Zhanbo is not suitable for combat.”
“Don't worry, he's just having a temporary mental adjustment. Besides, my expectations for him have never been about combat.”
“Then what? Cannon fodder?” Hu Yifei looked at him suspiciously.
Xue Mo Yin said exasperatedly, “Go away, what cannon fodder.”
Gathering his thoughts, he continued, “Let's put it this way, Ziqiao's position is as a warrior, you're an assassin with high burst damage and high mobility, Meijia is like a control mage, and Wanyu is our support. Although Zhanbo isn't suitable for combat, he's definitely a good support.”
“Are you saying he's going to be a medic like Wanyu?”
Xue Mo Yin shook his head. “Support isn't just about being a medic. Weapon crafting, puppet making, information processing, no one is better suited for these things than him. This is his true role.”
Now Yifei understood. As Mo Yin said, Zhanbo really wasn't bad at technology.
“Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't need to fight. You saw that even someone like Wanyu needs to constantly improve her strength. Our mission is not easy, so at least we need to have the strength to protect ourselves.”
After this explanation, Hu Yifei had a better understanding of their team. She didn't really have any suggestions for personnel allocation and positioning. She could just follow his lead, but she didn't know how long Red Queen would stay in the space backpack.
Xue Mo Yin patted her. “Don't worry, have some faith in Zhanbo. You protected him too well before, that's why he's like this now. It's still the same thing, if he's not truly ready, even if you agree, I won't let him go on missions with us.”
Yifei sighed, “I know. He's like a child now, but he's my brother. On one hand, I want him to grow up and become a man who can stand on his own two feet, but on the other hand, I'm afraid he might encounter danger and suffer setbacks.”
Xue Mo Yin understood her feelings. “He's not a child anymore, he has his own thoughts and aspirations. Yes, you can take care of him for a lifetime, but without you, he'll truly become a complete… useless person. Everyone has to grow up. Didn't we all grow up through trials and tribulations?”
Yifei felt a bit agitated. She shook her head, “Forget it, let's not talk about him. When is the next mission?”
“Usually it's a mission every half a month. It'll be about a week before the next mission comes in.” The system releases missions every half a month, of course, they can also exchange realm jade cards themselves, but the price is not something they can afford right now.
“That's about right. Meijia and Wanyu have been training well recently. The next mission should be easier.” Hu Yifei calculated that the time interval was good, just enough for them to rest properly.
But Mo Yin shook his head after hearing her words. “You're thinking too simply. Our next mission won't be as easy as last time.”
“What do you mean?”
“We can't keep getting low-level missions. Even if they are low-level missions, the difficulty will definitely increase. So it doesn't mean that we can just steamroll through missions just because we've gained strength and numbers.” This was the truth. Xue Mo Yin had also learned about the system's mission mechanism. To be precise, as their strength increased, the difficulty of the mission would increase accordingly.
