CH 147

On the surface, Zhou Kang is a bar owner, but in reality, he works for Cheng Yi. For example, he was responsible for investigating all matters related to An Yan.

Originally, his job was to help his boss investigate these matters, so Zhou Kang had no problem with it. But gradually, he found that the tasks he was given were becoming stranger and stranger.

From investigating the truth of the An Luo case at the beginning and helping to adjust the court date, to investigating the situation of a small pharmacy An Yan worked at, as well as the situation of the Zhu family, all these were fine.

But he doesn't get why the boss asked him to keep an eye on the posts on the virtual net!

His boss even instructed him to inform him immediately if there was anything about An Yan on the virtual net. Isn’t it overqualified for an intelligence worker with excellent abilities to do simple things?

But there was nothing he could do; it was his boss's order, after all. Although it was indeed overkill, his salary was not missing a coin. So, Zhou Kang had to start a career of staring at posts on the virtual net every day.

He was fine with that too. But just recently, his boss gave him a new assignment. He asked him to blend in at the live broadcast of the Academy's Mecha Competition as a water army!

Surely his boss wasn't teasing him by asking a highly capable intelligence officer to join a water army?

However, that wasn’t the case. Not only was he not being teased, but his boss had also given him two tasks.

The first task was to bring rhythm to the live stream when he had nothing else to do, and also to brush up on his relationship with An Yan, so that everyone would know that they were a loving and harmonious couple.

The second task was to find a way to announce his and An Yan's engagement date on the live stream, so that everyone would know that the two of them would soon be officially fiancées.

Zhou Kang wailed in his heart, but outwardly, he accepted both tasks very calmly.

Just like at this moment, Zhou Kang looked at the various pop-ups in the live stream, and he felt his heart bleeding. His boss just held hands with his lover. Do these people need to shout so much?

His face was expressionless as he hit a line of bullets: Ah ah ah, how can boss Cheng be so good to boss An Yan! I really want such a lover too!!

As soon as he finished lamenting, others followed with similar pop-ups, and the live stream was suddenly filled with both envious and excited exclamations from the single dogs.

This situation had been repeated many times, and Zhou Kang could now let out all sorts of girlish cries without changing his face.

When the time was almost right, Zhou Kang finally took the opportunity to send out a pop-up: "Of course not, the two bosses are already close to each other, which brings good things. Why would they care about the jokes among fans?

This was said with great skill, and it instantly aroused the curiosity of many viewers, who immediately asked him what good things he was talking about.

Zhou Kang didn't answer immediately. It was only when more and more people were asking questions, and some even started scratching their hearts for answers, that he calmly add: "Ah? Don't you all know about this? Cheng Yi and An Yan will be getting engaged soon. Didn't the Cheng family already announce this? "

It is true that the Cheng family has already announced this matter, but the Cheng family has always kept a low profile.  They wouldn't let everyone know about it with great fanfare even if the matter was publicized. They only informed a few close friends and relatives and invited them to come to the engagement ceremony.

Therefore, although word of this matter had spread among the gentry, the vast majority of the public was still completely unaware.

It was for this reason that Cheng Yi asked Zhou Kang to announce the event on the live stream. That way, everyone who was watching the live stream or hanging out on the virtual net would know about it.

As soon as Zhou Kang's pop-up was posted, it immediately caused a heated discussion on.

Viewer 1: Holy shit! Is this really true! 

Viewer 2: Aaah, the two bosses are actually getting engaged soon. Do I really have no chance to get An Yan back!

Viewer 3: Wake up upstairs. Even if he wasn’t getting engaged, you wouldn’t have a chance to take An Yan away from Cheng Yi. Or do you think you can beat him?

Viewer 4: Oh my god! It seems that the two bosses are really close.  They was even getting engaged!

Viewer 5: Good luck to both of you. Let's grow old together!

Viewer 6: I'm so jealous. When can I get engaged to such a lover too?

Viewer 7: Am I the only one who thinks they are getting engaged so soon because Cheng Yi is worried that An Yan will be taken away by someone else?

Viewer 8: To be honest, I actually think so too. hahahaha!

Viewer 9: I can't believe I only found out about such an important event today. No way, I definitely won't allow anyone else to not know about this from somewhere else. I'm going to post it on the virtual net!

......

Seeing everyone's statements, Zhou Kang expressionlessly posted another pop-up: Wuu wuuu The thought of the two bosses getting engaged makes me especially sad. Why do the two men I like have to get engaged so soon! 

Anyone who reads such pop-up content would think that there was a young girl full of teenage spirit making the comments. Even Zhou Kang himself was on the verge of having a misconception about his gender and personality.

He took a deep breath, his expression cold and stern as he looked at the pop-up he had just sent out. He made up his mind that when this mission was completed, he would speak to his boss and ask him to not give such strange missions in the future.

At that moment, the boss who had issued this task to him was playing handsome on the field.

Since it was a big melee, it was obviously a chaotic situation of you hitting me, me hitting him, and him hitting the others. The situation seemed risky, but it was a very good opportunity to score points.

Because as long as one can see the situation clearly, they can find a way to take points one by one without joining the melee.

Although this was not a direct way to reap the benefits, it was more convenient to use the melee to find the contestants' respective weaknesses.

Cheng Yi's intention was clear from the beginning. He did not directly enter the scuffle, but stood aside and observed for a moment. He then seized the opportunity to first eliminate a contestant who was so emotional that he only focused on launching attacks, leaving holes in his body's defense.

Immediately after that, he eliminated another contestant who had little spiritual power left. The battle was so fierce that he didn’t find time to replenish his spiritual power.

Then came the third, the fourth... and when the elimination reached the eighth person, the remaining people in the melee finally sensed that something was wrong.

The number of people in the melee kept decreasing, but none of their points had gone up, which was too strange. 

Finally, they noticed the two people who were outside the battle, and at the same time, began to make calculations in their minds.

This round was different from the previous ones. There were no mechas to use as cover, and it was very easy for everyone to communicate.

Contestant 1: Wait, do you know when these two people appeared?

Contestant 2: I don't know, but I know that these two are the biggest of the bosses. I feel like we're going to be out of luck.

Contestant 3: By the way, have your points increased since the fight began?

Contestant 4: No, not even a single point, so I think those guys were eliminated by these two bosses.

Contestant 5: So we are now...

The remaining five people looked at each other and quickly came to an agreement.

So what was once a large melee became a siege between five teams and one team.

Cheng Yi had anticipated this situation and was able to fight one-on-five without any problems. In the process, some people tried to trouble An Yan but were easily stopped by Cheng Yi.

So five to one soon turned into four to one, three to one... When it came to the last team, they ran away without saying a word.

Cheng Yi: "..."

Just run. They had a lot of points anyway, and they may encounter other opponents later.

An Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines, patted his buttocks and stood up. His eyes were shining brightly as he said, "You're so good, senior!"

Cheng Yi was very pleased with An Yan's compliment and rubbed his head, "Thank you, Yan Yan."

In the last remaining time of the competition round, the two met two more teams and managed to get two points, adding to the points they had accumulated earlier. Their final score at the end of the tournament was 31 points.

This may not seem like a lot of points, but the final stage of the competition was only 10 minutes long. In addition, there must be 100 people left on the field at the end of the competition. 

After the 10 minutes were up, the remaining contestants on the field were quickly teleported off the map, and a minute later, the promotion list was released.

An Yan and Cheng Yi came in second place, advancing without any problems.

In first place was Lu Chen, and in third place were the two siblings, Lin Dong and Lin Wan.

An Yan pulled the list back again and saw Cheng Yang and Gu Qing's names in the 91st position. He was relieved that they had made it even though they were further down the list.

Although he told Cheng Yang to just enjoy the competition and not take the outcome so seriously, one would still care in the end. 

After leaving the preparation pod, An Yan looked up and saw Cheng Yang wildly running over. He had his arms open to hug him, but he was blocked by Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yang glanced at his big brother with a curled mouth and turned to An Yan excitedly, "Yan Yan, we've successfully advanced too!"
