King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

After getting home, I took a hot shower and threw all the clothes that smelled of barbecue into the washing machine.

Ye Lan lay down on the bed and picked up her phone to look at rental listings.

Actually, the house he lives in now is quite nice and comfortable.

The only downside is the slow internet speed, and sometimes the connection even drops.

Moreover, transportation is inconvenient, so there are many places that cannot be visited.

Now that I've made some money, it's time to move to a different place.

After making money, people always want to pursue a higher level of life.

As long as it's not a loan for advance consumption, it's fine.

Ye Lan quickly found a house in the city center, with a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony.

It has all kinds of home appliances, and most importantly, the internet speed is super fast, so playing games is not laggy at all.

However, it seems to be a shared apartment; a single room would cost 1700.

If you want to rent the whole place, it will cost 4000 yuan per month.

Ye Lan felt it was unnecessary.

After all, my work and lifestyle involve staying at home.

When I'm in a bad mood, I go out for a meal.

If there were enough small houses in the city center, he would really like to buy one.

After choosing a room, Ye Lan prepared to go to sleep.

Playing games for so long today is really tiring.

Plus, I have to move tomorrow, so I really need to get some rest early.

Just as he was about to turn off his phone, a call came in.

Zheng Xueling!

"Hey, ex-girlfriend, didn't we break up? Why are you calling me?"

Ye Lan's voice was very calm.

The relationship between Zheng Xueling and him was nothing more than mutual exploitation.

Everyone knows the truth, so breaking up doesn't mean anything.

"What's going on, Xue Ling? Did you two break up?"

"Since you've already broken up, let's just forget about it. It's not good for you."

Other girls' voices came from the other end of the phone.

Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly.

There is a story!

"No, no, he was just joking. He loves joking."

"Right, baby!"

Zheng Xueling awkwardly tried to smooth things over with a laugh, her tone carrying a hint of pleading.

Ye Lan's lips curled up slightly as she thought, "Zheng Xueling, you've finally met your match!"

He decided to torment the other person to completely vent his resentment.

"Yes, yes, I was just joking with her!"

"Why are you calling, baby!"

Ye Lan almost vomited when she said the word "baby".

However, he still wanted to see what the girl on the other side was up to.

We can't miss such a great opportunity to watch the drama unfold.

"Hey baby, all four of us in the dorm are stuck at the Diamond rank. You're a top player with 2000 points in the Peak Match, right? We want you to carry us to the King rank."

"Hey, can you be a pro brother and help us girls climb the ranks?"

The three girls across from me were all speaking in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, and it was quite catchy.

However, Ye Lan is also a seasoned veteran. Over the years, he has relied on his pleasant voice.

He had flirted with quite a few female bosses while working as a companion.

Besides, I just washed my feet, and now I feel completely at peace.

Even when the opponent unleashed their full firepower, Ye Lan remained unmoved.

However, after hearing these words, Ye Lan understood why Zheng Xueling had called her.

I guessed that this group of people had been losing badly while trying to rank up, and then I remembered that Zheng Xueling had once boasted that she had a boyfriend who was very good at playing games.

Then they came to me.

What they didn't know was that Ye Lan had already taken the initiative to break up with them that afternoon.

Zheng Xueling certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity to show off, so she didn't tell her roommates about it.

"Hehehe, this is a perfect opportunity to extort a lot of money from her."

Things turned out pretty much as Ye Lan had expected.

This afternoon, another girl's boyfriend took the whole dorm to play video games.

It's not that the guys are bad, it's just that they genuinely can't carry four terrible teammates.

That feeling of facing nine opponents at once is just as desperate as being a goalkeeper on the Chinese national football team.

I played all afternoon and not only did I not gain any points, I actually lost a few stars.

The man was also rejected by the four girls.

Then, I thought of the boyfriend that Zheng Xueling had boasted about.

That is, Ye Lan.

Then they came looking for us.

Ye Lan's eyes lit up, and a smile curved her lips: "No problem. Do you have time tomorrow morning? If you do, I'll play with you two."

"Thank you so much, boss. You're such a kind person."

Soon, the voices of other girls disappeared from the other end of the phone.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for not making me lose face in front of these people."

"Words of thanks are not enough; let's take some real action."

"How much do you want?"

Xia Lingxue was well aware of Ye Lan's personality; she was straightforward and left no room for beating around the bush.

"Not much, 500 yuan will do."

"Isn't 500 a lot?"

Zheng Xueling was furious and gritted her teeth to pieces.

"It costs 20 yuan to reach the Star Rank. If you four win a game, that's 80 yuan. I'm giving you a friendly price by charging you 500 yuan."

Ye Lan spoke with reason and evidence, remaining calm and confident.

"You're ruthless," Zheng Xueling said through gritted teeth.

Her monthly living expenses were only 2000 yuan, and Ye Lan had swindled her out of a quarter of that amount.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken.

"I should have told these people about the breakup; I shouldn't have pretended to be cool."

Zheng Xueling felt a little regretful.

She hadn't expected Ye Lan to agree so readily.

Whenever Ye Lan said she was a little busy, she would hang up the phone and then put off the matter until her roommate forgot about it.

But Ye Lan readily agreed.

This caught Zheng Xueling off guard.

"I feel like I've been tricked."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lan couldn't hide the smile on her face as she looked at the 500 yuan Zheng Xueling had sent her.

That's awesome! I made another 500 yuan!

Ye Lan let out a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally gotten herself into a mess.

He simply took advantage of the fact that Zheng Xueling was a woman who cared a lot about her image.

Since she dared to call me, it means she hasn't told her roommates about their breakup yet.

At this point, all Ye Lan had to do was agree in front of her roommates.

No matter what request he makes, Zheng Xueling will do her best to fulfill it.

For the sake of saving face, one has to lose some money.

In a great mood, Ye Lan turned off her phone and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

Ye Lan had never felt so relaxed before.

He used to be under a lot of pressure because of money problems, and he couldn't sleep well.

I spend every day lying in bed, frantically draining myself.

But now there are no such concerns at all.

I slept very soundly, for a long time, and very peacefully.

When Ye Lan woke up the next day, she felt refreshed and invigorated.

He first packed all the things he needed to take with him when he moved.

Besides the computer and clothes, there wasn't much else.

Then I go to the toilet, brush my teeth, wash my face, and order takeout for breakfast.

After doing all this, Ye Lan opened WeChat.

Because of what happened yesterday, Ye Lan and Zheng Xueling added each other back as friends.

However, the roles of offense and defense have shifted, and Ye Lan now has complete control.

After editing the message, Ye Lan clicked send.

"Are you awake yet?"

"You're awake. Shall we play now?"

"I have something to do later, so let's play now."
