I didn't expect this woman to not only survive but also become an evolver.
But in my past life, I don't recall hearing any news about her.
Her management skills are very strong; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to develop a company so systematically.
Ye Qi himself wasn't very confident about building a team.
He only had the idea before, but implementing it would likely involve many troublesome matters.
If he could recruit her into his fold, all difficulties would be resolved.
However, given her personality, it would probably be difficult to recruit her directly.
Ye Qi smiled and got up, walking up to Gù Yǔtóng.
"Senior Student Gu, is something the matter?"
Seeing that Ye Qi knew her, Gù Yǔtóng felt a slight sense of relief.
"Are you eating hot pot?"
Gù Yǔtóng asked, looking into the house.
"That's right."
"Is there any more? I want to buy a portion!"
Seeing Ye Qi admit it, Gù Yǔtóng quickly pressed.
A hint of anticipation showed in her clear, cold eyes.
All the girls behind her were also staring intently at Ye Qi, waiting for his answer.
Ye Qi looked at the aloof, mature beauty in front of him with great interest, a smile still lingering on his lips.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Ye Qi's answer, Gù Yǔtóng was very surprised.
After the baptism of the Black Mist, she was acutely aware of the preciousness of food.
This young man agreed so readily; could he be her little fanboy?
Thinking of this, a hint of pride bloomed on Gù Yǔtóng's cold face.
Ye Qi, on the other hand, watched the green light emanating from her with keen interest.
"But..."
At these words, the pride on Gù Yǔtóng's face vanished, replaced by a furrowed brow.
"In the current situation, I believe you know that money is useless. What do you intend to exchange with me?"
"This..."
Gù Yǔtóng seemed a bit embarrassed. She had intended to offer supplies in exchange.
But in the current situation...
To jest jest! He could afford hot pot, so why would he care about that junk food?
"What's wrong, Senior Student Gu? You can't come up with anything decent to trade?"
Ye Qi said, observing the color of the light from Gù Yǔtóng's body.
It remained a vibrant green, without the slightest change.
"I, you, what do you want?"
Gù Yǔtóng's voice grew softer.
Seeing the usually admired Goddess Gu in such a state, Ye Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Since Senior Student Gu cannot produce anything, I won't force it. Just agree to one request from me, and that's enough."
Gù Yǔtóng's body still radiated brilliant green light.
"What request?"
Gù Yǔtóng's heart suddenly began to race.
This fellow looked so refined and gentle; he wouldn't make *that* kind of request, would he?
If he did, how should she refuse?
In this situation, turning against him would be a very unwise choice.
Ye Qi gave a strange smile.
He took two steps towards Gù Yǔtóng, brought his mouth close to her ear, and whispered a few words.
Feeling the warm breath brush against her earlobe,
She felt her cheeks flush.
It was the first time she had been so close to a boy.
Her heart pounded even more fiercely.
After a moment, her cold eyes suddenly widened.
"Wh-why?"
Gù Yǔtóng asked softly.
"Why what? If you don't agree, then forget it."
Ye Qi's lips still curved in a smile.
"I, I agree."
Gù Yǔtóng's voice softened, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
As soon as she uttered these three words, the young ladies behind her erupted.
At this moment, a hint of blue light had already appeared on Gù Yǔtóng's body.
Ye Qi provided Gù Yǔtóng with an equally sumptuous pot of hot pot.
He even gave them the pot they hadn't finished.
Even leftovers wouldn't be disdained by anyone.
Mind you, in a little while, let alone leftovers, people would snatch up even food mixed with feces.
Time flew by, and a night passed.
The next day, Ye Qi and Shěn Nányī went out for their usual patrol.
Just a few minutes after they left, the bald man and his group returned.
"Come, come, rent collection, rent collection!"
The bald man's name was Li Fei, a sophomore student at Nanhai University.
His father, Li Mu, was the director of the student affairs office at Nanda University.
This Director Li, relying on his authority, extorted students.
Many students with poor academic performance had to give him gifts to graduate.
If it were just this, it wouldn't be much.
What was most infuriating was that Director Li was extremely lecherous.
There were hundreds of female students and teachers he had coerced.
Afterward, he even took videos and photos of many of them as threats.
Several were even driven to pregnancy.
He was simply a blight on society.
This Li Fei could be said to be following in his father's footsteps.
And he surpassed him.
His methods were even more extreme than his father's.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, Li Fei unexpectedly became an Earth-element evolver. With this, he gathered a group of followers and directly occupied the school's logistics warehouse.
He thought he could live comfortably with a massive amount of supplies.
Who knew that most of the food in the warehouse had spoiled.
But after Ye Qi cleared out the zombies on campus, Li Fei heard about Ye Qi's deeds.
This gave him the idea of annexing his supplies.
However, he was afraid of his large number of supporters.
Therefore, following the advice of a few sycophantic strategists, he took action yesterday.
Initially, he was afraid Ye Qi would retaliate.
But after succeeding yesterday, not only did he achieve remarkable results, but he also obtained a large amount of supplies.
Seeing that there was no reaction from Ye Qi's side, his courage grew.
He inwardly concluded that Ye Qi was nothing special, just arrogant because he had firearms.
If they met later, he would use his supernatural ability to launch a surprise attack when Ye Qi was unprepared.
He would seize his supplies.
Then he could take his place.
And he could have his way with the university girls on legitimate grounds.
Li Fei was about to lead his men into the dormitory building.
Suddenly, a large number of survivors swarmed out from all directions, surrounding them.
Leading them was Zhao Wenlong.
Yesterday, Ye Qi had instructed that when Li Fei's group arrived, everyone should be gathered to watch the show.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Fei forced a calm demeanor.
"What, do you want to rebel? You eat Ye Ge's food, you live in Ye Ge's dorms, don't you understand gratitude?"
"What if I say no one needs to pay rent here, and you have to return the bread you collected yesterday to everyone!"
A clear male voice rang out from behind Li Fei.
"Are you dreaming? If my Ye Ge finds out you're leading this trouble, he will never let you off."
Li Fei turned to look at the young man, a trace of mockery in his eyes.
However, this action caused countless survivors to sneer.
The person who arrived was Ye Qi.
It seemed this guy didn't recognize Ye Qi at all, but most of these survivors had seen him before.
"Your Ye Ge told me to tell you, if you don't kneel now, you die!"
Li Fei looked at the young man in front of him, his slightly tense mood suddenly becoming brazen, his smile widening.
"Come on, you're tough, chop here!"
Saying this, Li Fei stretched out his neck and tapped it a few times with his palm.
*Swish!*
With a swift movement of his blade, Ye Qi severed the round, bald head, which fell to the ground and rolled a couple of times.
"I've never heard such a cheap request!"
