Jiang Hua saw that Yi Gu had logged off. Although she had some doubts, she didn't say anything. She wanted to continue leading the guild to run dungeons, but Jiang Hua felt that An Li seemed unusual today. An Li's game operation seemed to be much faster and more skilled than before. Her low-level operation was completely different from before, and some of her movements were also very novel and unique.
An Li might have hired someone else to deal with her!
Jiang Hua guessed silently.
Jiang Hua was eager to verify the truth of the matter, so she sent a message to the gang behind her, saying, "I can't continue playing the dungeon today. I have some things to take care of at home. I'm logging off now."
One of the gang members, "Anmi Mianmian," asked gossipily, "Boss, are you going on a date with Yi Gu?"
Everyone knows that Di Ruhua and Yi Gu have an unusual relationship, and the two of them don't try to hide it from each other, which is why Anmi Mianmian dares to gossip so openly in the guild's public chat.
Jiang Hua had intended to log off immediately, but then she saw a comment from Anmi Mianmian appear in the guild's public chat. The chat exploded with comments saying that Anmi Mianmian's guess was very likely. Jiang Hua smiled.
These people never miss an opportunity to gossip...
Jiang Hua thought helplessly, then typed a message on the keyboard.
"We live in a long-distance relationship."
"What?! The gang leader and Yi Gu are actually in different places!!" A member with the ID "Climbing a Tree to See Willow Blossoms" was the first to grab the first floor.
"Long-distance relationships are so sweet, right? It's clear that the guild leader and Yi Gu are true love!" commented a girl with the ID "Mengmeng Liuxing Daren".
Then, a chorus of shouts erupted downstairs, saying that people were being abused and that they had already eaten their fill of dog food.
Jiang Hua chuckled softly on the other end of the computer. She clearly said "long-distance," not "long-distance relationship." What were these people trying to do with their wild imaginations? Then, eager to figure out An Li's situation, she ignored the group's heart-wrenching spamming and shouting and went offline.
1%, 2%...99%, 100%...
"Ding dong... Thank you for your participation..."
After exiting the game, Jiang Hua leaned back in the recliner in front of the computer, quietly pondering her earlier conjecture. She thought about how An Li, despite her extremely low skill level and limited movement skills, clearly harbored immense hostility and resentment towards her, as if she wanted to devour her alive. The more Jiang Hua thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so she called An Li back.
"Beep...beep...beep..." The call connected.
"Hello? Who is it?" An Li seemed to have just woken up. Her tone, which usually sounded like that of a spoiled, arrogant, and self-important young lady, sounded rather soft and weak at this moment, without any sense of aggression.
Jiang Hua was taken aback when she heard An Li's voice, then tentatively asked, "Jiang Hua, An Li, the person I was fighting in the game just now, wasn't it you?"
An Li didn't expect the call to be from Jiang Hua, so when she heard Jiang Hua's voice coming from the other end of the line, she almost dropped the phone. Then, An Li instantly sat up in bed, her tone suddenly becoming very aggressive.
"So what if you are! So what if you aren't! It's none of your business!"
Jiang Hua was getting a little impatient, but she still patiently coaxed, "An Li, if you weren't the one who wrote this lyrics competition, I advise you to withdraw voluntarily..."
“What right do you have to advise me to quit!” An Li retorted immediately.
Jiang Hua frowned, not liking to be interrupted, but still tried to speak gently: "An Li, don't rush, let me finish before you decide whether you want to quit."
When An Li heard Jiang Hua say this, she wanted to know what Jiang Hua was really up to, so she calmed down and said no more.
Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Jiang Hua knew An Li was ready to listen, so she continued, "Why did I advise you to withdraw voluntarily? Because... the video of your fight with me is already circulating on the forums. I don't want to say much about your previous skills, but while your skills during our fight weren't top-tier, they were still barely top-tier. I believe that's definitely not your true level, right? Even if you deliberately held back before, you shouldn't have shown it now. You should have shown it in the upcoming arena tournament. What benefit would it bring you now?"
After listening to Jiang Hua's words, An Li remained silent for a long time, then opened the game's forum with trembling hands. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the forum, she saw the big title hanging at the top.
"Shocking! The once innocent Angela's fighting power is so high! Di Ruhua almost lost!"
An Li felt a sudden panic and continued reading the article, where she saw the last thing she wanted to see.
"...Although some say that Angela may have deliberately held back before, others question whether that was Angela's true level and have proposed a rematch between Angela and Di Ruhua. This proposal is supported by most people, but a small number of people oppose it, arguing that if it's a single match, there shouldn't be a second, third, or even more matches... Let's look forward to the day when Angela can show up and give us an explanation!"
Despite her fear, An Li gripped her phone tightly and gritted her teeth as she said, "Jiang Hua! So what do you want to do!?"
Jiang Hua guessed that An Li must have seen the content on the forum, so she smiled coldly and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to confirm if it's really you."
An Li fell silent, stammered for a long time, then steeled herself and said, "That's me!"
Jiang Hua sneered, not wanting to waste any more time with An Li, and threatened, "An Li, I advise you to be honest. If that really is you, do you dare to fight me again? If you don't fight me, I'll post the recording of your conversation with me online!"
"You!" An Li was so angry that she was speechless and could only force out a single word.
Jiang Hua knew that An Li was probably about to have internal injuries from anger, so she suppressed a laugh and continued to pretend to be indifferent, saying, "Me? What would I do?"
"You... I, I don't want the equipment anymore, okay!" After saying this, An Li immediately hung up the phone, not wanting to say another word to Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua decided not to pursue the matter further after hearing An Li's explanation.
That night, Jiang Hua made plans with her roommates to go to a food stall for a late-night snack. Actually, Jiang Hua was quite reluctant. She preferred staying in the dorm and playing games to eating late-night snacks. But when she saw her roommates' eager eyes, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
While having a late-night snack, Jiang Hua accidentally bumped into boiling water and scalded both arms. Her roommate quickly took her to a nearby clinic. After getting her bandaged up, Jiang Hua returned to the dormitory. Unfortunately, she couldn't play games anymore, so she asked her roommate to log into the game for her. She explained to the guild that she couldn't run dungeons with them recently, and the guild members all felt sorry for her.
