Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

On the weekend, Xia Xiyao's school was on holiday, so she came to the Ye family's house to play with Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue.

She also brought a little girl who was about the same age as her.

"Xiao Ye, Xue'er, let me introduce you~"

Xia Xiyao introduced with a smile: "This is my new friend whom I just made in the inner sect of the academy, Yu Li!"

The little girl seemed to be very introverted and shy, hiding behind Xia Xiyao, clutching her clothes with her little hands, and timidly peeking out half of her head.

Snow-white shoulder-length hair, a pure face, and a reserved, shy expression.

Ye Ge was taken aback.

Isn't this the little girl who gave her the small gift the other day?

Night Song: "It's you?"

"Um..." Yu Li's cheeks flushed instantly when she saw Ye Ge. Her already shy face became even more bashful, and she gripped Xia Xiyao's clothes even tighter: "You, hello..."

"Huh?" Xia Xiyao looked at Yu Li, then at Ye Ge, and asked blankly, "You two know each other?"

Gao Shenxue looked at Yu Li's small face, as if recalling something, and slowly said, "In the last mission to rescue hostages and deal with those bandits who smuggled soul crystals, she was one of the people we rescued."

Xia Xiyao asked in surprise, "Really?" Then she turned to look at Yu Li.

Yu Li shrank her neck and nodded gently, "Mmm..."

"No wonder you bought me breakfast right after we first met!" Xia Xiyao said happily. "But why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Ye Ge then understood.

That’s how it turns out…

This explains why Yu Li thanked him for saving her that day.

At that time, having dealt with the bandits, Ye Ge focused solely on them and paid no attention to the hostages.

Clearly, Xia Xiyao was the same.

Only Gao Shenxue, a girl with a sensitive mind, remembered it clearly.

Unexpectedly, she was Xia Xiyao's classmate, a student at the War Academy, and even an inner disciple.

In fact, Ye Ge soon realized that she had misunderstood.

Yu Li was not Xia Xiyao's classmate, but rather an assistant to the teacher of the inner classroom experimental class.

Yu Li did not possess any extraordinary talent. She was an ordinary person with neither the talent to learn magic nor the spiritual root to cultivate immortality. She was physically weak and could not follow the path of a martial artist.

She was only chosen by the academy's instructors to work as a junior assistant at the academy because of her exceptional talent in her secondary profession.

"Exceptional talent in secondary professions..."

Ye Ge stroked his chin, a look of interest in his eyes.

Inside the room, four children sat in a circle, playing Ludo and chatting.

"You have no idea how big and beautiful the inner gate of that academy is!"

Xia Xiyao used both hands to vividly recount the interesting things that had happened to her in the inner sect of the academy these past few days to Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue.

"The headmistress is such a beauty! The most powerful archmage in the Southern Territory! I heard she's lived for over three hundred years, yet she still looks like she's in her twenties or thirties—it's amazing! And she's so kind to me; she even praised my talent..."

As she spoke, Xia Xiyao pouted again, looking somewhat dejected: "It's such a pity, if only you could have entered the inner sect of the academy with me, then we could have done missions together..."

Ye Ge tapped her little head: "Alright, stop thinking about this. I've already said it's impossible."

Xia Xiyao hummed a few times, sounding aggrieved, but it was unclear what she was humming about.

Yu Li sat there quietly, still looking timid, and didn't say much.

Clearly, she, like Gao Shenxue, is a rather quiet type.

However, Shenxue Mama is purely a cold goddess. Except when she is dealing with Yege and Xia Xiyao, she always shows a cold and indifferent attitude towards outsiders.

Yu Li, on the other hand, is a complete introvert with social anxiety. She gets nervous if she makes eye contact with Ye Ge for more than three seconds, and her face turns red and her head steams if it lasts more than ten seconds...

Ye Ge also obtained some information about Yu Li from Xia Xiyao.

He came from a poor family, had no extraordinary talent, was introverted and shy, and had always been self-conscious since childhood.

In this world, there is a natural gap between ordinary people and extraordinary individuals. Extraordinary individuals are inevitably high above others. All the noble families in the empire are extraordinary individuals, while ordinary people can only look up to them with humility. The gap is far greater than the racial discrimination on Earth in my previous life.

If extraordinary individuals are considered first-class citizens, then ordinary people can only be considered third-class citizens at best—second-class citizens are the spirit pets kept by extraordinary individuals.

At this moment, Ye Ge noticed that Yu Li's gaze was constantly glancing furtively at the alchemical tools and rune instruments in his room.

The little girl seemed very interested in the experimental equipment.

"Are you interested in those things?" Ye Ge asked proactively.

Yu Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly and subconsciously waved her hand: "Ah...no, no..."

Before she could deny it, Xia Xiyao immediately said, "Xiao Li is a super tech geek! She's our college's lab professor's assistant, and she also has several side jobs!"

Yu Li said shyly, "No, no..."

"Oh, don't be so shy!" Xia Xiyao said with a grin, "Although Xiao Li is an ordinary person, she has many side jobs: enchanter, talisman master, prop maker, alchemist, alchemist, rune master, hacker, network security officer... Her mentor said that although Xiao Li is an ordinary person, she has extraordinary talent in her side jobs and will definitely be able to refine many valuable props and potions in the future, becoming a super rich woman and making a lot of money!"

Yu Li became even more embarrassed, her cheeks turning as red as ripe apples, and she gripped Xia Xiyao's arm tightly: "Xiyao, you, you shouldn't say such things..."

Ye Ge scratched his chin, thinking to himself, "To have so many side jobs by myself, it's really something..."

Considering Yu Li's family's difficult circumstances, it's not surprising.

In the game, secondary professions such as enchanter, alchemist, and alchemist are generally only pursued by casual players.

Since you don't spend real money, you can only make money by selling potions, elixirs, and enchanting items for others.

These side jobs, in the early stages, were really just manual labor, which was quite arduous.

Only in the later stages, if one can become a master alchemist or above, can one earn a decent income.

Huh? Wait...

Yu Li...

Ye Ge was taken aback, then suddenly realized something.

Could the mysterious female NPC who always wears a long robe and hood, is silent, and forever stays in a dark corner—the legendary goddess of secondary professions—be her?

This little girl is the inventor of the Awakening Potion in version 2.75!?

Ye Ge's eyes lit up.

What the hell!

A treasure girl just fell from the sky and landed right in my face!?
