Chapter 431 -430: Please Give Us the Freedom to Dress!
Cheng Feng, troubled, clutched his head and, under the encouraging and expectant eyes of all his teammates, shuffled off hesitantly.

He blinked back to the training room—no, no, he needed to do some mental preparation.
Even if Mr.
Qimo was easy to talk to, he didn’t dare to say it to his face!
On the other hand, after chatting with Shen Yixin, Ye Jinwen returned to tell Xiao Qimo that he would go home first.
Under the cheerful gazes of the Shadow Hunting Team members, he left Zitan Pavilion with incredibly heavy steps.
——
Just before class was over, Lu Mian received another message from Xiao Qimo, which read only four words: “Got something tasty.”
Lu Mian’s lips curved into a slight smile, and after class, she left Yulan Pavilion for Zitan Pavilion.
Fang Xilan watched her leave silently, noticing how Lu Mian always slipped away quietly.
She had no idea what Lu Mian was up to—could it be just like her sister said, that she was going to meet her boyfriend?
After Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo finished eating, she had nothing else to do, so she continued playing games on Qimo’s computer.
Their desks faced each other, so a simple glance up would allow them to see one another.
Xiao Qimo’s computer was very convenient; it had all the games she wanted to play.
She just had to click to open them and log into her account.
To her right was a cup of hot milk brought over by Zhou Xin.
Lu Mian occasionally hugged her blanket and sipped from it.
She was having a great time playing her game when suddenly, busy with his own work, Xiao Qimo turned his head, paused, and asked, “How’s your hand speed usually?”
Lu Mian thought for a moment, “Not bad,” she replied.
Xiao Qimo then asked, “What about on your phone?
Is a score of four hundred high?”
Playing her game, Lu Mian lazily lifted her eyelids and responded, “Not high,” her tone light and breezy.
Understanding, Xiao Qimo nodded for her to continue playing and went back to typing furiously on his keyboard.
His well-defined fingers left nothing but afterimages on the keys.
But Lu Mian couldn’t focus on her game anymore, as she had received another forced chat notification from Cheng Feng.
Ever since he had discovered this forced chat app, he really seemed to enjoy using this method.
Lu Mian stared at the chat-box-like computer screen, her hands propping up her chin.
Cheng Feng’s message read: “Mr.
Qimo, could you talk to the big boss about the team rules?”
For a moment, Lu Mian didn’t catch on, but after a half-second delay, she realized what was happening—she had been using Xiao Qimo’s computer, and now she was mistaken for Mr.
Qimo.
Seeing Xiao Qimo looking busy, she took the initiative to type a line asking, “Are you talking about the rule that you can’t interact with girls?”
She didn’t deliberately speak in Xiao Qimo’s tone, but since Cheng Feng and the others didn’t really know better, they didn’t harbor any suspicions.
They even thought perhaps Mr.
Qimo was simply joining them in their training and was quite a nice person.
That’s why Cheng Feng, after doing a half day of mental preparation, had sent the forced chat request.
Cheng Feng replied swiftly.
“Actually, we’re already used to this rule.
Girls aren’t really good at CTF anyway.
Even if we could interact with them, what’s the point?
It would just interfere with our training.”
Reading this, Lu Mian’s eyes narrowed lazily like a wild beast in the forest, deceptively nonchalant yet carrying a hint of danger.
Shadow Hunting Team is truly amazing.
Influenced by their big boss, everyone seems to think girls are a hindrance.
Great.
Before she could reply, another message came from Cheng Feng, true to a speed player, his typing was incredibly quick.
“We’ve resigned ourselves to not interacting with girls, and we’re not expecting the big boss to abolish that rule.
But could you please beg the big boss to let us have our freedom of clothing?
Dressing up all neat and proper even inside the villa is quite harsh.
Mr.
Qimo, I’m not talking behind the big boss’s back, haha.
I just think we’re all men here, what’s there not to see?
You’re so close to the big boss, please could you put in a good word for us!”
Lu Mian sent back a string of ellipses.
She wasn’t aware of this rule within their team.
When she had come to take care of the drunk Xiao Qimo that day, it seemed this wasn’t the case.
Cheng Feng: “The big boss lives right here, all you need to do is tell him, it won’t take much of your time!”
Lu Mian looked at this information, her eyes narrowing even more.
She leaned slightly against the back of her chair, her beautiful, delicate lips curved with a hint of a wicked smirk.
She silently analyzed the amount of information these words contained.
Firstly, Xiao Qimo knew the big boss behind the Shadow Hunting Team.
Secondly, team members had sought out Xiao Qimo to plead on their behalf, indicating the big boss wasn’t Xiao Qimo.
Finally, the big boss himself also lived here.
Summing up this information, some things seemed ready to emerge.
Heh, interesting.
At this moment, the poor Ye Jinwen, who was frantically driving back to the Ye Family, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
With his intuition as a psychologist, he felt he had been quite unlucky recently…
On the opposite side, Xiao Qimo, although busy with work, had actually been keeping an eye on Lu Mian with his peripheral vision.
His gaze might not have been on her, but he still noticed the semi-smiling, semi-not curve of her lips.
Carrying a mocking tone, both cold and wicked.
He asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Mian didn’t hide anything from him, carelessly twirling her hair around her left temple, her red birthmark partially hidden but visible.
Her tone was cool as she coldly said, “This Shadow Hunting Team is really quite interesting.”
Xiao Qimo didn’t understand the underlying meaning in her words, but inexplicably felt uneasy.
He knew that Lu Mian hadn’t liked coming here from the start, and it was very likely that she had some conflict with the Shadow Hunting Team.
But when he tried to ask Lu Mian again, she was already focused on typing on the computer, her hands moving swiftly across the keyboard.
Her busy appearance conveyed only three words.
Don’t mess with me.
Xiao Qimo: …
So, what was the exact feud between Lu Mian and the Shadow Hunting Team?
This was something he would have to investigate properly.
Lu Mian’s dissatisfaction with the Shadow Hunting Team was reflected in that evening’s team match, which she entered using Xiao Qimo’s identity.
It was called a team match, but in her case, she was the only one on her side.
The opponent had 5 people, a 1 versus 5 match.
Those kids in the training room had actually been wanting to do this for a while now.
They didn’t believe that they couldn’t beat Mr.
Qimo in a one-on-one, but what about a team battle?
Couldn’t they win then?
Because they were young and spirited, everyone was eager.
Seeing that Mr.
Qimo had accepted the challenge, they immediately got pumped up and joined the team match.
However, dreams are full, and reality is cruel.
This 1 versus 5 battle ended with them on their knees.
Cheng Feng, Xun Xiaoran, and three other guys ended up kneeling through the entire match.
The other side won.
And won quite beautifully.
In just over 20 minutes, they had beaten the five of them into helplessness, their server on the brink of collapse, and their base directly destroyed by the opponent.
It looked very much like the five of them were simply asking for a beating.
Apart from the sound of keyboards being smashed, the training room was filled with wails of despair.
