Chapter 4 : Unexpected Revelations

On the computer screen, a post on the school forum caught their attention.

**Title: "Shi Dahaohao lavishly celebrates his girlfriend, live broadcast!"**

Numerous photos were uploaded within the post, showcasing the close interactions between Shi Mingwei and Yao Bingbing. From blowing candles, making wishes, to cutting the cake, each photo radiated sweetness and joy.

"Boss, don't feel too down..."

"The third guy wants to act. Let that scheming girl be!"

"Third brother! Stay strong! Don't do anything foolish!"

The three roommates watched Chen Xiaobei anxiously, fearing that he might be deeply affected.

Chen Xiaobei simply smiled and inquired, "When was the last time you guys refreshed this post?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Zitao asked.

"Refresh it quickly!" Zhang Fengyi urged.

Li Ming promptly clicked refresh.

In the next second, the three guys were utterly dumbfounded!

Several new photos were now displayed, and each one could only be described with three words: shocking! mouth-dropping! unbelievable!

As they exited the post, the entire forum's homepage was inundated with this news.

——Shi Dashao vomited, his girlfriend vomited, and the entire celebration turned into a mess!

——Why did Shi Dashao bring up this scientific topic?

——What does '粑粑' taste like? How is it? @ Shi Mingwei, @ Yao Bingbing.

Uh...

"Lying grass! The forums are in chaos! Will Yao Bingbing ever show her face again?"

"That scheming girl deserves it! Playing with our third brother! Retribution!"

"Quick, refresh it. I want to see more!"

The three roommates were left stunned, fully absorbed in this shocking news.

Chen Xiaobei chuckled without uttering a word, secretly pleased with the power of the Three Realms Red Envelopes.

After a quick wash, Chen Xiaobei lay down on the bed, eager to check if there were any red envelopes to grab.

Only he knew that it was all thanks to the Three Realms Red Envelope group that he managed to turn the tables and rescue Lan Mengchen.

The red envelopes inside were true treasures.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

**Ding Ding——Marshal Tianpeng has requested to add you as a friend.**

Chen Xiaobei was momentarily surprised, a mental image of a pig's head popping into his mind: "Second Brother? Why is he adding me? Did he discover this non-staff?"

Today marked the day when the Three Realms Network was launched. Chen Xiaobei must have entered the Three Realms Red Envelope group due to a system loophole. If this were exposed, there was a 10,000 percent chance of being kicked out!

What should he do?

"That's right! I'll use a divination!"

Chen Xiaobei had a clever idea and immediately performed a calculation, feeling relieved. "Good fortune! You can confidently add Second Brother."

He clicked "Accept" and received a message immediately.

**Marshal Tianpeng: Hello, Daoist Friend! (Three shy expressions)**

"Uh..."

小 Chen Xiaobei pictured an embarrassed pig's head and shuddered involuntarily, then replied: **Hello, Marshal Tianpeng.**

**Marshal Tianpeng: Daoist Friend just obtained three marriage amulets, right?**

小 Chen Xiaobei: **Yes.**

**Marshal Tianpeng: Can you give me one? I am willing to exchange it for something else.**

小 Chen Xiaobei: **What does the Marshal want the marriage amulet for?**

**Marshal Tianpeng: I want to speak to Fairy Chang'e... (N shy expressions)**

**Chen Xiaobei: Understood. (A sweaty expression)**

Brother Er and Chang'e – who in the Three Realms wouldn't know them?

小 Anyway, Chen Xiaobei only considered the marriage amulet as chicken ribs. Exchanging one was no big deal.

But the question remained – what should he exchange it for?

小 Chen Xiaobei was practically ignorant of the items in the fairy realm. After some thought, he replied: **Does Brother Er have anything suitable for mortals?**

**Marshal Tianpeng: Suitable for mortals? I don't have anything, but I can check in Gao Laozhuang.**

A row of black lines appeared on Chen Xiaobei's forehead. Gao Laozhuang actually existed!

Considering his own dire financial situation, he replied: **Okay, then fetch me some gold and silver jewelry.**

**Marshal Tianpeng: Gold and silver jewelry are useless vulgar things, exchanged for a marriage amulet? Don't you feel like you're suffering?**

Chen Xiaobei: **No suffering, no suffering. Let's just be friends, Marshal.**

**Marshal Canopy: Alright! We are friends! Wait, I'll find them!**

小 Chen Xiaobei grinned, thinking to himself: "Gold and silver might be useless to you, but

 they can be extremely valuable to me! Turning chicken ribs into treasures, just making a living, hehe..."

"Boss! Come check this out! The forum has been overtaken by another post!" Zhang Fengyi exclaimed at this moment.

"What post could be more popular than Shi Mingwei vomiting?" Chen Xiaobei curiously jumped off the bed and went over.

——School flower Lan Mengchen spotted on a date with a mysterious man! Returning to the dormitory late at night!

Beneath the grand title were numerous photos.

Comments flooded the post, and almost all of them were Lan Mengchen's fans expressing various emotions — envy, jealousy, hatred — directed towards the mysterious man, questioning his existence.

**"Is everyone's idle curiosity hurting them now? It's better to use this kind of post..."** Chen Xiaobei felt somewhat guilty.

Luckily, the photos were taken at night, and his face wasn't clear. Otherwise, it could lead to significant trouble.

**"Third brother! Why does the mysterious man in the photos wear the same clothes as you? It can't be you, right?"** Li Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

**"What! Brat! What's your relationship with our goddess!"**

Zhou Zitao and Zhang Fengyi, hearing the words, immediately slammed the table and approached Chen Xiaobei.

These two guys were die-hard fans of Lan Mengchen and wouldn't let Chen Xiaobei off easily.

小 Chen Xiaobei swallowed nervously, realizing that explaining would take more than a hundred words. It was better to take a different approach: **"Alright! I admit that Lan Mengchen is my girlfriend!"**

As soon as he said this, all three roommates were taken aback.

**"Boss, when did you become so boastful?"** Zhou Zitao rolled his eyes.

**"I'm not boasting. I really am the person in the photos! I'm confessing honestly; you don't believe me!"** Chen Xiaobei stated.

**"Third brother! Your skill in acting cool is impressive..."** Li Ming shook his head and continued reading the post.

**"Boss, I need to school you. You're so poor you can't even eat, and you dare to daydream about the Blue Goddess? Don't forget

 — the Lan Family is the top family in Qingteng City. You need to be qualified to pursue the Blue Goddess!"** Zhang Fengyi said.

**"Anyway, I've admitted it now, but I believe it'll settle down."** Chen Xiaobei shrugged, silently applauding his quick thinking.

At that moment, his phone buzzed.

**——Received a red envelope from Marshal Canopy!**
