Chapter 2151 See you again, Ye Ye’s team is reunited!

At this moment, all was silent, the night was as dark as ink, and time had quietly entered the deep night. Ye Ye and Lu Yue sat side by side on the sofa, but they showed two completely different expressions. Lu Yue's brows were furrowed, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure, and his face revealed a trace of unsatisfactory that was difficult to conceal.

Tian Qingtian's investigation revealed some issues with the school's backend, which weighed heavily on Lu Yue's heart. Technicians were working tirelessly to perform emergency repairs, hoping to resolve this thorny issue as quickly as possible.

However, just as Lu Yue was worried, good news arrived—the backend issue wasn't complicated and could be fixed in about an hour. This news was like a ray of light, slightly alleviating the gloom in Lu Yue's heart.

But then, a piece of bad news was like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in him. Although the backend had been repaired, surprisingly, no one had signed up to join Ye Ye's team.

In stark contrast to Lu Yue's anxiety, Ye Ye was silently staring at the virtual screen projected by his brain. His gaze was focused and deep, as if he was completely immersed in his own world of thought. In his eyes, in addition to thought and confusion, there was also a hint of surprise.

"Brother Ye?"

Lu Yue finally couldn't suppress his inner doubts and called out softly.

"Ok??"

Ye Ye woke up as if from a dream, slowly turned his head, his eyes a little confused, obviously he had not yet fully recovered from his previous thoughts.

He stared at Ye Ye's face, trying to detect the slightest hint of disappointment, but found nothing. Lu Yue couldn't help but feel confused, because he could clearly sense that Ye Ye was very interested in the reward for this freshman assessment, but since he couldn't participate in the assessment, Ye Ye was destined to miss the reward. Ye Ye's behavior made Lu Yue feel a little unbelievable.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Lu Yue frowned and asked in confusion.

"There's something wrong with our backstage. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It must be Li Qifeng behind the scenes. We should report this to the school. Maybe there's a chance for a turnaround."

There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in his tone. After all, such an opportunity was rare, and they had hoped to succeed.

However, facing Lu Yue's proposal, Ye Ye's reaction was beyond his expectations. He only saw Ye Ye's mouth slightly raised, revealing an elusive smile, and then turned his gaze to Lu Yue and asked back.

"What are you reporting?"

Seeing this, Lu Yue became even more confused and he quickly explained.

"Of course, it's to report our quota issue! We clearly gathered the required number of people at the last minute, but due to a system glitch, we weren't able to enter the information successfully. This is not our fault at all!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and seemed very angry at Ye Ye's indifferent attitude.

However, Ye Ye did not seem to be affected by Lu Yue's emotions. He still maintained that nonchalant look and responded lightly.

"Who says we don't have it all together?"

After hearing Lu Yue's words, Ye Ye asked back, but this question also confused Lu Yue.

"what?"

Lu Yue was stunned. What did Ye Ye mean by this?

Ye Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and he sneered contemptuously. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a kind of disdain, which made Lu Yue startled.

"Actually, hacking is not a skill that can be mastered casually."

Ye Ye spoke slowly, as if deliberately whetting Lu Yue's appetite.

"To master it, it takes more than just extensive practice. More importantly, it requires exceptional talent."

When Lu Yue heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously still not fully understanding Ye Ye's meaning. However, Ye Ye's words flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, bringing him a hint of inspiration.

"Ok?"

Lu Yue looked at Ye Ye in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that, Brother Ye, you have also studied hacking techniques?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yue himself found it somewhat unbelievable. After all, in his impression, Ye Ye was already an omnipotent person. Whether it was various knowledge and skills or the trivialities of life, Ye Ye seemed to be able to handle them with ease. So, when he heard that Ye Ye might also have some knowledge of hacking technology, Lu Yue's heart was not only surprised, but also more of a sense of expectation and admiration.

It must be said that in Lu Yue's heart, Ye Ye was simply an all-rounder. Forget about his hacking skills. Even if Ye Ye told him that he was once a powerful person, but had fallen to this point due to some accident, and that a transfer of 500 yuan would completely restore him to his prime, Lu Yue would probably transfer 500 yuan to Ye Ye's account without hesitation...

This is the good reputation Ye Ye has established in Lu Yue's heart during this period of time. Looking at the expectation and admiration in Lu Yue's eyes, Ye Ye couldn't help but cough twice, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Ahem... this is a bit beyond my purview. I don't really know much about hacking techniques, but just because I don't have it doesn't mean others don't."

"Why don't you take another look backstage?"

Hearing Ye Ye's words, Lu Yue subconsciously picked up the computer, logged into the academy's backend, and checked the situation of their assessment team.

Just by looking at it, Lu Yue was stunned for a moment.

Originally, their team consisted of only five people, namely Ye Ye, Lu Yue, Qiao E'er, and the two new freshmen who had just joined.

But now, the number of people in their team has reached ten!

"this....."

Lu Yue was stunned for a moment. Wasn't the registration channel closed? How come there were five more people?

Moreover, Lu Yue discovered that the number of people displayed above had become ten, but the names of the extra five people were not displayed.

"My helpers have arrived. To be honest, I'm also very surprised. They should be on their way to Yancheng. You'll be able to see them soon. These are my comrades who have been with me through thick and thin."

"But before that, we have to deal with other troubles first."

Ye Ye showed a hint of relief and confusion on his face, but his next sentence obviously aroused Lu Yue's interest.

"Any other troubles?"

"Yes, don't you think Qiao'er and the two people who wanted to join our team later are a little strange? Qiao'er aside, the appearance of Liu Hao and Wang Lishan was too abrupt, as if it was arranged."

As Ye Ye spoke, he silently looked towards the door of their dormitory.

Just as Ye Ye's eyes fell on the door, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

The knocks were quiet but regular, each one as if carefully calculated, with the exact same intervals. Hearing the knocks, Lu Yue looked towards Ye Ye, hoping to find some clues from his expression. However, Ye Ye simply raised his chin silently, as if to signal Lu Yue to open the door if he was curious about who was outside.

Lu Yue was a little confused, wondering what Ye Ye was up to. He hesitated in his seat for a while, but finally, unable to suppress his curiosity, he stood up and walked straight to the door. As he reached out to grasp the door handle and prepared to open it, he felt a little nervous, wondering what kind of person would be standing outside.

The door slowly opened, and Lu Yue's eyes first fell on the person outside. He was stunned for a moment, because the person standing outside the door was Qiao'er, whom they had met only once yesterday!

Qiao'er was wearing a pair of cute white cartoon pajamas with animal prints. Although the pajamas were long-sleeved and covered her tightly, the soft material seemed to fit her curves, subtly outlining her perfect figure.

Lu Yue's gaze stayed on Qiao'er for a moment, and then he noticed that there was a girl standing behind her. This girl had an ordinary appearance and figure, nothing special about her, which formed a sharp contrast with Qiao'er.

"Hello, classmate Lu Yue, we meet again."

Qiao'er smiled and spoke to Lu Yue in a clear and sweet voice, just like a yellow oriole in spring.

Seeing that it was Lu Yue who opened the door, Qiao'er smiled and appeared polite.

"you...."

The moment he saw Qiao'er, Lu Yue was startled and subconsciously turned around to look at Ye Ye.

"Please come in, but Qiao-san should be careful about the impact."

Ye Ye's voice reached outside the door, with a double entendre. Qiao'er obviously understood what Ye Ye meant, and the smile on her face did not diminish at all. Seeing Lu Yue give up his seat, she walked in without any hesitation.

"So I brought one more person with me to avoid gossip."

Compared with the daytime, Qiao'er at night is not wearing any makeup, just like a lotus emerging from the water. If Li Qifeng saw her, he would probably make her stand there and stare at her like a nympho for a while.

A minute later, the living room that originally had only two people became home to four people. Ye Ye and Lu Yue sat side by side, while opposite them sat Qiao'er and her friend.

"By the way, let me introduce you to Ning Jianjia, my roommate, who is also a student in the genius class."

As soon as they sat down, Qiao'er first introduced her good friend next to her. When she heard Ning Jianjia's name, Ye Ye instinctively raised his eyebrows. Knowing that Ye Ye had a conflict with Ning Dan and the Ning family, Qiao'er spoke again.

"Jianjia's surname is just Ning, she has nothing to do with the Ning family. She is from the Demon Suppression Division and is a genius that has been cultivated by the Division for many years."

Qiao'er's explanation surprised Ye Ye and Lu Yue. Demon Suppression Bureau?

"Hello."

Ning Jianjia saw that Ye Ye and Lu Yue didn't say anything, so she took the initiative to greet them.

"Hello."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Seeing Ning Jianjia take the initiative to say hello, Ye Ye and Lu Yue also responded politely.

"So, you're not here to introduce us to new friends so late at night, are you?"

Ye Ye stared at Qiao'er's pretty face thoughtfully and asked.

At this moment, Qiao'er no longer had the disguise she wore during the day. Her face was as calm as water, and there was a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes.

"I heard you guys ran into some trouble, and it seems to have affected your freshman assessment. I rushed over to find out what's going on. After all, I've joined your team, and we're on the same boat."

A hint of confidence appeared on Qiao'er's face, as if she had already found a solution to the so-called trouble, and she was quite happy with Li Qifeng's "god-like assist".

"Trouble? How do you mean?"

Ye Ye pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Qiao'er's expression remained unchanged after hearing what he said, but she secretly said it was troublesome in her heart, as if she had no mental warning about Ye Ye's attitude.

"Li Qifeng seems to have hired someone to hack into the backend of our school's official website. As of midnight, our team still only has five people, which doesn't meet the assessment criteria. Could you be unaware of this?"

Hearing Qiao'er's words, Ye Ye pretended to be surprised.

"What!? Li Qifeng actually dared to do this? It seems like the lesson he received was too light!"

"By the way, you brought Miss Ning Jianjia with you. Could she be here to help us out in an emergency? Great! With her, we can now form a team of six! Don't worry, this is a technical issue at the school. I'll report it to the school tomorrow. I'm sure the school will give us this backdoor!"

Ye Ye’s exaggerated acting skills made Lu Yue a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head silently to hide the corners of his mouth that he couldn’t control.

"Alright, let's be frank. With those people obstructing us, the school won't give you a chance. Many of my father's students are now teaching at the cadets. If you're willing to hand over the position of team leader to me, I can use my connections to get Ning Jianjia to join our team and participate in the freshman assessment."

"You and Lu Yue's starship piloting skills are both top-notch. If we work together, we will definitely win the championship!"

Qiao'er showed a hint of ambition on her face and spoke.

Seeing Qiao'er's true intentions revealed, Ye Ye shook his head silently.

He was a little puzzled. Qiao'er went through so much trouble just to snatch his captaincy?

"Who said we don't have enough people on our team? I already have a candidate. Besides, you have connections in school, so don't I have any?"

Ye Ye spoke to Qiao'er, but Qiao'er's expression remained unchanged.

"Liu Hao and Wang Lishan are both my people. If you disagree, we will all quit the team. Including me, there will only be three of you at most. The academy stipulates that if more than half of the team members quit, the team will automatically disband."

Qiao'er's speech speed was not fast, but every word she said was heart-wrenching. Lu Yue looked at Qiao'er with a frown. Was she sure she could defeat them?

"Then you guys retreat."

Ye Ye still didn't say anything about this, which made Qiao'er upset.

Seeing that forcing the issue didn't work, Ning Jianjia, who was next to Qiao'er, finally spoke.

"Ye Ye, we're doing this for your own good. You and Lu Yue are new here, and you don't have any vested interests. Joining us will only benefit you. We can also promise that if you win, the prize will be split 10% between you two."

"and...."

Before Ning Jianjia finished speaking, Ye Ye waved his hand to interrupt her, then looked at Qiao'er with an extremely strange look.

So they both had the same idea???
