Chapter 29 – Betrothal gift, an eight million worth Demon set!


Su Chen, the director of the Su Family, is the highest authority.

He is also the uncle of the sisters Su Jin Ya and Su Jinyan.

Seeing the sudden Feixin message from Su Chen, Su Jinyan was a bit puzzled: “Why is Uncle looking for me at this time? What’s going on?”

So, Su Jinyan replied: “Uncle, if there’s anything, you can say it on Feixin.”

“It’s urgent, I need to talk to you in person,” Su Chen replied.

“But I’m in the Second World right now, and the Zombie Tide is about to hit,” Su Jinyan hesitated.

Su Chen: “Come over, your sister is here too, and everyone is waiting for you. I’ve already sent someone to pick you up.”

Seeing that Su Chen had said this much, Su Jinyan couldn’t say anything more and replied, “Alright, Uncle, I’ll be there soon.”

She closed Feixin.

Su Jinyan turned to Zhang Yue and said, “Zhang Yue, I have something to take care of, I need to log off.”

Zhang Yue didn’t ask anything, simply saying, “Okay, go ahead. Don’t wait until the Zombie Tide arrives, or you won’t be able to log off.”

“Be careful when fighting the Zombie Tide later!” Su Jinyan looked at Zhang Yue with concern.

“Mm.”

After speaking, Su Jinyan lightly touched the mark on the back of her hand, summoning a portal and exiting the Otherworld.

The time for the Zombie Tide to arrive was drawing near.

Above Nottingham City, the weather suddenly changed, with lightning and thunder.

Inside and outside the city, strong winds howled!

Over twenty thousand professionals currently online were all gathered inside Nottingham City, anxiously awaiting the imminent Zombie Tide.

Zhang Yue received a Feixin message from the guild group:

[Mist Rain Pavilion, General/Level 14 Elite Grade Royal Archer]: “@everyone, brothers, for this Zombie Tide, everyone must complete the first round of the kill mission. Let’s finish the three rounds as soon as possible and clear the Second World!”

Enough with the nonsense.

Zhang Yue closed the group message.

Half an hour later, a system notification was broadcast.

[Area Announcement] (Nottingham City): “Ding~ All professionals in Nottingham City, please note: the Zombie Tide has arrived! From now until the Zombie Tide is repelled, professionals cannot exit the Otherworld! Additionally, Nottingham City’s protection mechanism is canceled!”

“Please note: killing more than 50 zombies individually will be considered a successful defense against this round of the Zombie Tide!”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Outside Nottingham City, a deafening roar echoed.

The Zombie Tide had arrived!

Meanwhile, in the real world.

In Coastal City, fine rain drizzled in the night sky.

Su Jinyan, dressed in a white dress, sat in a moving black BMW, leaning against the window and watching the rain outside, thinking of only one person.

“Due to the cancellation of the Safe Zone protection mechanism, more professionals have died in the Second World’s Zombie Tide than in other worlds.”

“Even though it’s just a Level 13 Zombie Tide, the most terrifying thing about the Zombie Tide is its numbers. Even ants can bite an elephant to death.”

“You must be careful, Zhang Yue…”

Su Jinyan’s eyes were filled with worry.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of a high-end building in the city center.

The door opened, and a driver in a black suit held an umbrella, helping Su Jinyan out of the car.

Su Family Building.

Twenty-fifth floor, Chairman’s Office.

A middle-aged man in an expensive suit, with a resolute and steady demeanor, looking like a successful person, sat in the chairman’s seat.

He was talking eloquently with a slightly overweight man with slicked-back hair sitting opposite him.

At this moment, Su Jin Ya, dressed in a black professional outfit with a high ponytail, brought a cup of freshly brewed premium oolong tea to the slightly overweight man: “Chairman Chen, please have some tea!”

“Thank you!”

Chen Tianqiang smiled as he took the tea and glanced at Su Jin Ya, who possessed both beauty and intelligence, and remarked, “You must be Su Jin Ya, the elder sister?”

Su Jin Ya nodded slightly: “Yes.”

Chen Tianqiang nodded and said, “No wonder you’re twins; you and your sister look so much alike! I almost thought you were Su Jinyan!”

Su Chen, sitting in the chairman’s seat, laughed heartily: “Even I, their uncle, sometimes can’t tell them apart!”

Chen Tianqiang laughed: “Chairman Su, you’re joking.”

Just then, Su Jinyan knocked and entered.

“Uncle! Sister!” Su Jinyan first saw Su Chen and Su Jin Ya, then was surprised to see Chen Tianqiang: “Uncle Chen?”

The three of them turned their gaze to Su Jinyan.

“Xiao Yan, you’re here, have a seat!”

Su Jinyan sat down next to Su Jin Ya.

Except for their hairstyles and outfits, the two looked exactly the same!

Seeing Chen Tianqiang, Su Jinyan had a bad feeling.

Because she knew: Chen Tianqiang was Chen Jun’s father!

Sure enough, Su Chen got straight to the point: “Since you’re here, Xiao Yan, I’ll get right to it.”

“Your Uncle Chen is here to propose marriage for his son, Chen Jun!”

Su Jinyan stood up: “Didn’t I already say I don’t like Chen Jun!”

Su Chen’s face darkened: “Watch your tone, young lady!”

Chen Tianqiang, however, didn’t mind and laughed: “It’s okay if you don’t like him now, feelings can be cultivated over time.”

“Here are some gifts I prepared for you and your sister, I hope you’ll accept them!”

Su Chen pointed to two meticulously wrapped [Storage Gift Boxes] on the table and said to Su Jinyan and Su Jin Ya: “These are carefully selected by your Uncle Chen, worth five million each, containing [Energy Elixirs] (Epic Grade Treasures, increase psionic energy acquisition by 100 times for one month, usable at Level 100)!”

“And an eight-million gold set of Level 30 3-star Golden Attributes [Demon Set] crafted by a Legendary Grade Blacksmith from Dragon City!”

Chen Tianqiang said to Su Jinyan: “I heard you broke the profession limit and became an Epic Grade Forbidden Mage. This Demon Set is custom-made for you, enhancing all control skills’ duration by 50%!”

“I only have one son, Chen Jun. All the company’s assets will be inherited by him. If you marry into the Chen family…” Chen Tianqiang began painting a rosy picture for Su Jinyan.

But before he could finish, Su Jinyan, a bit angry, interrupted: “Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Chen, but I want to decide my own life!”

With that, Su Jinyan ran out of the office without looking back.

Chen Tianqiang looked embarrassed.

Su Chen said: “This child has always been stubborn!”

“But don’t worry, Chairman Chen,” Su Chen continued, “I’ve raised her since her parents passed away, and she listens to me. I’ll talk to her later.”

Chen Tianqiang nodded: “I’ll leave it to you, Chairman Su!”

After seeing Chen Tianqiang off.

Su Chen said to Su Jin Ya: “Xiao Ya, when you have time, talk to Xiao Yan for me. I said she listens to me, but I know she only listens to you.”

“If you talk to her, she’ll definitely agree!”

“The Chen family is an important partner for our Su family. Mist Rain Pavilion wouldn’t be where it is today without the Chen family’s financial support. If Xiao Yan marries into the Chen family…”

“Uncle, I understand,” Su Jin Ya said, “but Xiao Yan is not a bargaining chip. She said she wants to decide her own life, and as her sister, I have no right to interfere.”

“Xiao Ya, you…”

“Uncle, I have something to do, I must go.”

With that, Su Jin Ya also left the office.

The rain had stopped.

Su Jin Ya went to the rooftop and found Su Jinyan standing alone in the wind.

“Sis!” Su Jinyan was surprised to see Su Jin Ya: “How did you know I was here?”

“Whenever you’re upset, you always come here.”

Su Jinyan stuck out her tongue: “You know me best!”

“Honestly, do you have someone you like?” Su Jin Ya suddenly asked, startling Su Jinyan.

Before Su Jinyan could reply, Su Jin Ya guessed: “Is it that Beast Tamer, Zero, who helped you clear the First World?”

“Oh my god!” Su Jinyan’s eyes widened: “Sis, how do you know everything?”

Su Jin Ya gave a knowing smile: “This isn’t the first time Chen Tianqiang has proposed, but you’ve never rejected him so harshly before.”

“And you once told me something.”

“What?”

“Whoever can break your profession limit, you’ll marry.”

Su Jinyan hung her head and sighed: “I don’t know if it’s love, but being with him makes me happy.”

After a pause, Su Jinyan asked, “Sis, you’re not here to persuade me for Uncle, are you?”

“Silly girl!” Su Jin Ya patted Su Jinyan’s head gently: “I support you in pursuing your own happiness.”

Su Jinyan hugged Su Jin Ya tightly: “I knew you were the best, Sis!”

Suddenly remembering something, Su Jinyan exclaimed: “The Zombie Tide!”

“I need to get back to the Otherworld, maybe I can still join the fight!”

“Go ahead, be safe.”

After a pause, Su Jin Ya added: “Remember, no matter what happens, your sister will always be your strongest support!”

“Thanks, Sis!”

Su Jinyan immediately opened a portal and entered the Otherworld.

Meanwhile, Su Jin Ya murmured: “After spending the whole night, I should go in and take a look too.”

With that, Su Jin Ya also opened a portal and entered the Otherworld.

“Ding~ Level 125 Rare Grade Fourth Transition Professional: Valkyrie Su Ya, welcome to the 24th World of the Otherworld: Shattered Starry Sky!”
