479: Chapter 479 Lin Yi's Setback

Emilia shook her head. "Sorry, we are waiting for someone."

"Friends?" Lin Yi insisted, refusing to give up. "We can form a party together!"

"The main quest I've accepted has a very high EXP reward. I can share it with you guys based on the number of people!"

In this Lingyun World, there are two ways to calculate the distribution of EXP for party quests.

One is primary-secondary, where one leader takes the lion's share.

The other is based on the number of people, where everyone gets the same amount of EXP.

For Lin Yi, as a closed-beta player with an actual Rank of 79, he should be the leader no matter who he parties with.

But right now, wasn't it that Emilia wasn't interested?

He had no choice but to take a step back.

More contact is the only way to build a good relationship, right?

Besides, Emilia's two friends here have such stunning looks and figures.

Her other friends probably aren't any worse.

"What's your name? What's your Rank?"

Mu Xinyi tilted her snow-white neck toward Lin Yi and asked.

Lin Yi immediately replied, "Lin Yi! Rank 60."

Mu Xinyi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "You've been playing for so long and you're only Rank 60, yet you want to carry us? Keep dreaming."

She waved her hand dismissively. "Go away, stop trying to get friendly with us here!"

"I think your goal of partying up to kill monsters is fake, and picking up girls is the real reason."

"Stop daydreaming. I have a boyfriend."

Ning Ke'er nodded. "I have a husband."

Emilia kept a straight, serious face and said deliberately, "I'm pregnant."

She knew about Lin Yi's little schemes.

He had been intentionally getting close to her in the past.

She had never given him a chance and had never paid him any mind.

However, she hadn't expected that her coldness not only failed to make Lin Yi give up but instead made him even worse.

If she didn't throw a bucket of cold water on him, Lin Yi would probably keep pestering her!

"Pregnant?"

Lin Yi's mouth twitched violently. Looking at the exotic, curvaceous Emilia before him, he smiled bitterly and asked, "Young Miss Emilia, you're joking, right?"

He had inquired about Emilia at the Company Name before.

They said she was a workaholic.

She was completely focused on her career and had never paid attention to any suitors.

How could such a cold, exotic beauty be pregnant!?

"Sorry, my man is here."

Just then, Emilia glanced over and saw Qin Ge walking over leisurely. She trotted over quickly and affectionately hugged Qin Ge's arm.

Qin Ge arrived at the pool, stared at the uninvited Child of Destiny, and feigned ignorance. "Who is this?"

"His name is Lin Yi, a Rank 60 game player, and he wants to pursue me," Emilia introduced.

"Oh?" Qin Ge smirked, staring at Lin Yi. "You're trying to poach my girl right in front of me?"

"It's a misunderstanding."

"Mr. Qin, I think you might have misunderstood. I just wanted to invite Young Miss Emilia to form a party."

Lin Yi's mouth twitched, but he didn't explode.

He recognized Qin Ge and knew that Qin Ge was the Chairman of Company Name.

In that case, being close to the water gets the moon first—it was quite possible that Emilia was pregnant with Qin Ge's child!

A flower stuck in cow dung!

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, crushed a special item in his inventory, and began to spy on Qin Ge's Rank.

"Rank 8?"

Lin Yi looked at Qin Ge's Rank panel, which was trembling and gradually blurring, and felt very confused.

"Wait, why is the 8 in Rank 8 falling over!?"

As a closed-beta player, Lin Yi watched the number 8 of Qin Ge's Rank fall over visibly. His mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, *What a waste of a special item.*

It seemed this guy, Qin Ge, must have an item to hide his true Rank, just like him!

"Mr. Qin, since you are also an experienced player, why don't we form a party together?"

"With you here, I suppose Young Miss Emilia won't misunderstand anything anymore."

"I really just want to find teammates to grind levels."

Lin Yi walked up to Qin Ge, neither servile nor overbearing, and extended his hand.

Since Emilia was already taken, he could only temporarily shift his focus to Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er.

Qin Ge looked at the hand Lin Yi extended and shook it with an amused expression.

He turned his head, glanced at Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er, and said lightly, "You wouldn't happen to have shifted your focus to Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er just because Emilia is taken, would you?"

"Mr. Qin, you've misunderstood?"

Lin Yi noticed the change in expression on Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er's faces, and with a fake smile, he applied force to his palm.

He prepared to give Qin Ge a small shock of his strength.

He wanted to let Qin Ge know that in this Lingyun World, he was not someone Qin Ge could manipulate at will.

"What immense strength!"

"He can actually withstand a Rank 60 constitution!?"

Lin Yi exerted more force in his palm, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter. He simply used power that exceeded Rank 60.

Crack—

Accompanied by the sound of a bone cracking, Lin Yi looked up in a daze. "My bone… it broke!?"

Tap, tap, tap—

Mu Xinyi stepped forward in her leather boots and slapped him across the face.

Slap—

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Mu Xinyi angrily cursed, "Are you sick in the head? Why are you using so much strength just to shake hands?"

"If you crushed Qin Ge's bone, can you afford the compensation?"

Grr—

Lin Yi nearly shattered his back molars.

The look he gave Mu Xinyi revealed a ferocious glint.

He didn't expect that although Mu Xinyi looked cute and charming, her temper was so explosive!

Ning Ke'er, on the other hand, seemed gentle and refined, much more likable.

Clatter—

Just as Lin Yi turned his head to look at Ning Ke'er, a slab of blue stone brick smashed right onto his head.

Lin Yi looked at Ning Ke'er, who was holding the other half of the blue stone brick, and asked in confusion, "Why are you hitting me with a stone slab?"

Ning Ke'er bit her moist lips. "Who told you to crush Qin Ge's bone!?"

Clatter—

Ning Ke'er smashed the remaining half of the blue stone brick, which she had pried off the edge of the pool, onto Lin Yi's head again, causing blood to flow uncontrollably.

Lin Yi shouted angrily, "It's my bone that broke!"

Thud—

Mu Xinyi raised her foot and kicked Lin Yi right in the chest. She rolled her eyes and said, "If you hadn't used force, would your bone have broken? When it comes down to it, you deserve it!"

Lin Yi collapsed to the ground, looking at Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er, who were united against him, in confusion.

He glanced at Emilia and said, "She is Qin Ge's wife, so why are you two joining in the fun!?"

Mu Xinyi leaned in close to Qin Ge and hugged his arm. "I am Qin Ge's lover."

Ning Ke'er tilted her head. "Then I am... the mistress?"
