Chapter 66: The anchor brother loves you 13 The key turns the lock cylinder...
The "click" sound of the key turning in the lock broke the silence of the villa at night.
Ye Ling jumped up from the gaming chair, the dismal record of 0 kills and 6 deaths still hanging on the screen.
He hurriedly tried to close the page, but failed several times. The mouse fell to the ground with a "clack". He frantically bent down to pick it up -
The study door was pushed open irrevocably.
Li Feng, still wearing a windbreaker, appeared at the door. He casually tossed his car keys onto the nearby cabinet, but the sound of a heavy hammer hitting Ye Ling's spine was like a clang.
His eyes immediately caught the unclosed result page on the screen—the huge 0 kills, 6 deaths, and the glaring sentence in his teammate's channel: "Blade, are you the real you? You're such a loser!"
The study was deathly silent, with only the ticking sound of the wall clock, which tickled Ye Ling's tense nerves.
Finally, Li Feng moved.
He stretched out his long legs and walked slowly to the computer chair.
Ye Ling stood up stiffly, still holding the unfortunate mouse tightly in her hand. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Feng's face at all.
He used up all his strength and squeezed out a faint trembling sound: "Brother...Brother...you...you are back? So early..."
"Yeah." Li Feng responded, his voice calm and unperturbed, just like usual.
Ye Ling leaned sideways to block the computer screen, and clicked around randomly with his backhand, not knowing whether he had closed the game interface or not.
Li Feng still didn't react. Ye Ling became more and more uneasy. She didn't dare to look back at the computer or look him in the eye.
[Host! According to human behavioral analysis, the calm before the storm is the most dangerous!] 778 quickly offered advice to the frightened host. [Suggestion...test it out first? See if he knows anything?]
Ye Ling took a breath, and then asked tentatively in a mosquito-like voice: "Brother...um...did you play games today?"
"No." Li Feng's voice remained calm. "Didn't I go out for something this afternoon? Why? You want to play?"
"No, no, no! I don't want to play!" Ye Ling was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly, shaking her head like a rattle, and messing up her light golden hair. "I'm just... asking casually!"
"Oh." Li Feng retracted his gaze and sat down on the gaming chair. His slender fingers gently slid across the mouse, and he spoke casually, "I heard that there seems to be something wrong with my account..."
...Is he hinting at something? Does he already know?
Seeing Ye Ling's face getting paler and paler, her body trembling slightly, and she looked like she was about to cry...
Li Feng curled his lips and decided to add fuel to the fire.
He casually opened the ranking interface, and the segment where his rank had dropped significantly was clearly visible!
The ranking dropped!
It can’t be hidden anymore!
There was a loud bang in Ye Ling's head, and he could no longer hold it in!
"Brother!" Ye Ling suddenly squatted down, holding onto the armrests of the chair with both hands, her hazelnut eyes looking up with tears in them. "I'm sorry! It's me! It's all my fault!!!"
He confessed incoherently, "I... I saw you playing this game every day... I was curious... I didn't know it was your main account... I'm so bad... I can't even understand the map... I caused you to lose points!"
Looking at his pale, tearful face, as if the sky was falling, Li Feng's dissatisfaction at being robbed of his points had long since disappeared, replaced by a strange sense of satisfaction and an even stronger desire to tease him.
He deliberately kept a straight face and his voice deepened, "So, you used my account to play six games, and you were wiped out every time, making Blade the laughing stock of the entire server?"
"Yes...it's me..." Ye Ling's golden head drooped, and he had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"Hmm..." Li Feng stretched out the last syllable, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the culprit.
One second... two seconds...
The expected thunderous wrath did not come.
Li Feng just made a light "tsk" sound and said two words: "Get up."
Ye Ling stood up tremblingly: "Brother... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I didn't know it was your big one... I just wanted to see if there was a cock in it..."
Li Feng glanced at the ranking points that had dropped a bit, without even frowning, and said calmly: "It's just points."
Ye Ling raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Ah?"
Ye Ling tilted her head, carefully checking his expression, and said, "Huh?" She couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Brother...you...you're not angry?"
Li Feng said slowly: "Angry? A little bit."
Seeing Ye Ling getting nervous again, he changed the subject, "However, considering your positive attitude in admitting your guilt..."
Ye Ling's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"...Next time you want to play, just tell me."
Ye Ling was stunned at first, thinking she had misheard. The expression on her face changed brilliantly, and finally she burst into laughter: "Yes! Brother! I promise! I won't dare to do it next time! I'll make it up to you! I... I'll peel an apple for you!"
The smile that Li Feng couldn't suppress finally spread to the corners of his mouth, but he quickly forced it back. He reached out and held down Ye Ling's hand, which was about to fight back. "Forget it. I'm afraid you'll cut your hand and I'll have to take you to the hospital."
At this moment, Li Feng's phone vibrated. It was a message from the live broadcast platform, as well as Lu Ren's arrogant challenge declaration that resounded throughout the server.
Cool and unruly passerby A: [Brothers! It's time for me, Lu Ren, to show off! Tonight at 10 PM! See you in the livestream! I'm challenging Blade! To avenge my previous defeat! If I lose, I'll shave my head live...]
This news was not only sent to Li Feng, but also posted by Lu Ren on the title of his live broadcast room, instantly attracting countless people who were eager to watch the fun, and the number of people in the live broadcast room soared to hundreds of thousands.
"Heh." Li Feng sneered and tapped his fingers, accepting Lu Ren's challenge.
Ye Ling next to him didn't dare to breathe. She squatted beside him cautiously and stared at the screen nervously.
Ten minutes later, ten o'clock arrived.
Lu Ren's live broadcast room was filled with noise and comments:
[Brother Lu is awesome! Kill him while he's still sick!]
Blade's condition today is a mystery! Lu Ge's chance for revenge has finally arrived!
[The market is open! Betting on whether Blade will regain his form or whether the passerby will make a comeback!]
Lu Ren spoke in high spirits: "Brothers! Watch how I pull Blade down from the altar today! Let him know why the flowers are so red!"
The game begins.
The character controlled by Li Feng was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, rushing towards Lu Ren with a cold murderous aura.
The arrogant smile on Lu Ren’s face froze instantly: “…What the hell?!”
Before he could react, his health bar had already dropped by more than half. His bold words were still ringing in his ears when reality suddenly gave him a loud slap in the face!
The barrage instantly reversed:
【??? Is this a bad state?】
[Pedestrian A, run! This is not the place for you! ]
[Blade the Great is back! Kill like crazy!]
Ye Ling, who was watching from the side, had her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open.
It was incredible! Brother Li Feng was like a god descending from heaven! He was fascinated by what he saw, and his body moved closer and closer, until he almost lay on the armrest of Li Feng's chair.
"Wow! Brother! You are so awesome! That movement just now! That prediction!" Ye Ling exclaimed excitedly, and her warm breath brushed over Li Feng's fingertips on the mouse without any defense.
Li Feng: “!”
The slightly itchy touch was like a tiny electric current, causing the fingers controlling the character to tremble slightly.
The battle between masters is changing rapidly!
Lu Ren keenly caught the delay of this moment. He shouted in ecstasy: "Opportunity!" while controlling the character to pounce forward and throw a set of skills at Li Feng as if they were free.
It seems that the "Blade" on the screen is about to be hit!
Ye Ling covered her mouth in fear: "Ah!"
At the critical moment.
Li Feng's eyes flashed, and with astonishing hand speed, he swerved sideways in a millisecond, narrowly avoiding most of the damage. Simultaneously, he swung his mouse violently, and the keyboard struck like a torrential downpour.
Counterattack!
Lights and shadows flashed across the screen! Skill effects exploded!
Lu Ren's character only saw a shadow passing by, and the next second, the screen turned gray!
KO!
Lu Ren opened his mouth and looked at his character who had fallen down again. The ecstasy just now was still frozen on his face, and now there was only confusion and humiliation from being repeatedly rubbed.
He was completely defeated again! And this happened after he'd made such a boast, in front of hundreds of thousands of people! And he was instantly defeated by his opponent's counterattack at the moment of "mistake"...
The barrage went completely crazy:
[Holy crap!!! This counterattack!!! Amazing!!!]
[Blade: I just revealed a flaw, and you still dare to attack me?]
[Passerby: I got up, and I killed him in one shot. What else can I say?]
Lu Ren was so angry that his face turned purple. He angrily yelled in the public voice channel, "Fuck! Everyone knows that Blade's account was terrible this afternoon! 0 kills and 6 deaths all over the place! You're not the real you at all! You're just a temporary substitute he hired, right? Why are you pretending!"
As soon as these words were spoken, even the barrage of comments fell silent for a moment.
How shameless! Clearly, the one this afternoon was the suspected hacker, and now this one is definitely the real one! This ability to confuse right and wrong is unparalleled.
Just when everyone thought that Li Feng would sneer at this kind of rubbish as usual and not bother to respond——
In the chat box, the account with Blade ID slowly typed out a line of words, with a condescending and cold sarcasm:
Blade: [Hehe, not even as good as a substitute.]
Lu Ren: “Fuck!!!”
He seemed to hear the sound of a knife stabbing his heart. He threw the mouse away fiercely and almost spit out a mouthful of blood on the keyboard.
He knew that he was confusing right and wrong, but he never expected that Blade, who was always aloof and tactful, would actually go along with him, admit his identity as a "substitute", and even give him the ultimate insult!
Not even as good as a substitute player?!
Killing people and destroying their hearts is nothing more than this.
