"Hello, everyone!"

At Qiao Shan’s words, everyone turned to look at her.

Shen Yue, who had only wanted to slip into the conference room quietly to ask about her best friend Xiaohong, was startled.

"Yueyue, would you like to come up to the dais?"

Under the gazes of the entire room, Qiao Shan made his intentions clear. His desire to do so grew even stronger when he saw the well-built young man of a similar age following behind Shen Yue.

"No, thank you. Please, continue!" Shen Yue waved her hands in refusal and turned to give Sun Yu an apologetic nod.

Then she spotted an empty seat next to her best friend, Xiaohong, and immediately headed over.

Sun Yu glanced around before heading to the farthest corner of the conference room.

Sitting in the corner, Sun Yu watched as Qiao Shan, on the dais, began his self-introduction all over again. As the man introduced himself, he kept looking over at him, leaving Sun Yu feeling a bit speechless...

Sun Yu had heard it: Qiao Shan’s Combat Power ranking of 148th in Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms. It made Sun Yu grimace.

Never mind his big brother, Shen Fei, or his own Combat Power ranking of 18th. In the Heaven-Reaching Gang’s QQ group alone, there were thirty or forty people ranked in the top one hundred for Combat Power. To see Qiao Shan, who was once ranked a mere 148th, acting so smug made Sun Yu cringe a little...

"Young man, what’s your relationship with that girl, Yueyue!"

"Let me tell you, that Qiao Shan fellow has a limitless future. You don’t want to go looking for trouble!"

"He already introduced himself once, and now he’s doing it again. The meaning is pretty obvious..."

While Sun Yu was at a loss for words, one of the teachers next to him started whispering in his ear. The implication was clear: Sun Yu should know his place!

"Xiaohong, let me see!"

While Sun Yu was feeling awkward, Shen Yue sat down next to her best friend and quietly lowered her head. She hadn’t heard a single word Qiao Shan said.

If her advisor hadn’t called, and if her best friend wasn’t still at the school, she wouldn’t have come today at all. After quickly registering the ability she had inherited, Shen Yue had immediately sought out her best friend, Xiaohong. She remembered the ability Xiaohong had inherited and was dying to see the tattoo.

The Succubus Silver Pattern! How fun is that!

"Let go! Let go! Let go!" Seeing Shen Yue speak while already leaning over and secretly trying to lift her clothes, Xiaohong’s face flushed red as she repeatedly swatted her friend’s hands away.

Having inherited such a thing, Xiaohong was also going crazy.

"Let go!!"

"You should be figuring out how to fend off that suitor of yours!" Xiaohong grabbed Shen Yue’s fidgeting hands and jutted her chin toward the dais, where Qiao Shan was speaking while staring at Shen Yue.

Because of Shen Yue’s arrival, Qiao Shan was going through his self-introduction all over again. The scene made Xiaohong want to laugh, but she also knew exactly why Qiao Shan was doing it.

"Forget him! Let me see the original photo you took again!" Ignoring Qiao Shan, who was staring at her as if reciting a poem, Shen Yue picked up Xiaohong’s phone.

"Although everyone’s abilities have been registered, I’d still like to get to know them and discuss things face-to-face!"

Half a minute later, Shen Yue, who was looking at the pictures on the phone and making her best friend Xiaohong squirm with embarrassment, heard the new topic Qiao Shan had brought up.

"I’d also like to know about the abilities of any family members present! Usually, for self-introductions at meetings, we go from front to back. Today, let’s go from back to front!"

"That person there—yes, you. Would you mind introducing yourself?"

His intention obvious, Qiao Shan quickly fixed his gaze on Sun Yu. After all, Sun Yu had walked in with Shen Yue, and they were around the same age...

"Me?"

Sun Yu, who had been trying to politely humor the teacher next to him, was surprised to find all eyes on him in the blink of an eye.

I’m just here to fill a spot...

Sun Yu felt helpless at being suddenly singled out by Qiao Shan. He was only here today on behalf of his big brother, just to go through the motions. He had no intention of exposing the high-and-mighty Qiao Shan up on the dais, but he hadn’t expected the guy to call him out directly.

"Uh... I also play Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms..." Glancing at Shen Yue and then at all the eyes staring at him, Sun Yu finally stood up.

"You play Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms too? Did you inherit anything? What level is your main DPS tower?" Qiao Shan asked, a hint of surprise in his voice upon hearing Sun Yu’s answer.

"Uh... let’s not get into that..." Having just heard that Qiao Shan’s main DPS tower was a Seventh Tier Divine Thunder Tower, Sun Yu was reluctant to talk about his own.

His main DPS tower in the game was a Tenth Tier, the highest level possible. Though he had been unlucky and hadn’t inherited his main DPS tower on the first try, he *had* inherited Ninth and Eighth Tier Defense Towers.

"It’s fine, go ahead and tell us. We can all compare notes!"

"I only managed to inherit a Seventh Tier one because I got lucky!" Qiao Shan pressed on, assuming Sun Yu was too embarrassed to speak because his ability was too low.

"Uh... my main DPS is Tenth Tier..." he finally said, after glancing at Shen Yue’s teasing expression.

Besides, with a Super Boss like my big brother backing me up, it doesn’t matter if I reveal this much.

"What?" Qiao Shan froze, thinking he must have misheard.

"In Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms, my Combat Power is ranked 18th!"

"Before the inheritance, I spent over six million on the game!"

"Among the Defense Towers I inherited last night, I have three Ninth Tier and seven Eighth Tier towers..."

"My in-game name is Big and Small Eater!"

Having started, Sun Yu didn’t stop. As he spoke, he waved his hand, projecting the phantom image of a Defense Tower, though he didn’t actually summon it.
