Chapter 72: "The One Carrying Firewood for Everyone"



At the same time, Su Mingan also noticed that his private message bar was jumping wildly. When he opened it, it was Lu Shu99+'s private message - after all, he only added him and Yu Ruohe as friends.

Just when he wanted to see specifically what this guy said, he heard a "bang bang bang" sound outside the window in front of him.

"..."Su Mingan pulled open the curtains again and saw Yu Ruohe who was almost sticking his face close to him.

Her almond eyes were filled with concentration, as if she wanted to "pull him back to the right path":

“…Don’t do this again.”

"What kind of thing?"

"...Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Yu Ruohe stared at him firmly: "Committing suicide in front of everyone... Do you know how much shock this will cause? Do you know how many people are watching your every move?"

"I know, that's why I did it." Su Mingan said, "So, what does this have to do with you locking me up?"

Yu Ruohe turned her head slightly.

She spoke somewhat unnaturally: "As the number one player, what you should do is to defeat Mizushima Kawai in the ring... instead of doing this... Anyway, anyway..."

She took a deep breath, as if she had gained great courage. When she turned her head to look at Su Mingan again, her eyes were full of determination through the glass:

"…Promise me that you will be a qualified leading player, okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like your clone..." Yu Ruohe put her hand on the glass and slowly curled up her fingers:

"...A clone is also a possibility of your personality, which means that you can also become that, right?" She forced a smile and said, "In private, you can be yourself. But in front of everyone in the world, be dignified, gentle, and kind, okay?"

Yu Ruohe has ever paid attention to the World Forum.

She found that the audience generally accepted the sudden appearance of the avatar well, and said that watching the live broadcast from the avatar's perspective in the second world was much better than the previous experience. Whether it was the gentle attitude or the friendly communication with the audience, the avatar seemed to be much more suitable to be a "first player" than Su Mingan himself.

They even felt sorry that it was just a clone, and some even suggested that it would be better if the two were exchanged, with the original body becoming the clone, or that the live broadcasts should be fixed on the clone's perspective in the future.

She didn't agree with their proposal, but she couldn't deny that she was a little shaken.

She thought with some anticipation as she finally had the rare opportunity to meet him and was even bold enough to bring him home.

...Can I play a role in helping him become the kind of person that everyone likes to support?

Su Mingan looked at her.

His gaze changed slightly.

"I remember, at the end of the first world," he said slowly, "you once told me that you thought I was just a better student, but now you told me a completely different answer. You are persuading me - you also want me to become..."

He didn't continue.

[“——Su Mingan? Why are you here? Is that person on the stage your clone?”]

[“——Yeah, it is said that a clone is also a possibility of my personality. But if you want me to become like that, you might as well just kill me… Never mind, killing me is useless.”]

[“——But you can become like that, right?”]

Yu Ruohe's eyes were somewhat frozen.

At this moment, she saw his gaze looking at her.

Even though they were so close, separated by a thin layer of glass, she could no longer see everything in his eyes.

"...I'll try my best." Su Mingan said.

She felt a sudden sense of relief, and as a smile appeared on her lips, she thought... This is great.

"Well, then you have to remember this - be calm... okay?" she said.

Su Mingan pulled the curtains shut.

"Wait, wait..." Yu Ruohe still wanted to talk to him. She still had many things she didn't understand and wanted to communicate with him...

But at this moment, when the curtains were about to be drawn, she met the other person's gaze.

There was deep fatigue in his eyes, and the bloodshot veins were shattered like ice patterns on glaze.

"Yu Ruohe." He said: "The rules of the main god space have changed."

"So...?" Yu Ruohe still didn't understand what he meant.

"..." Su Mingan paused: "...Nothing."

With a "swish", the curtains were drawn in front of her.

She touched her cheek and felt a knife-like pain on her face - it was the phantom pain that condensed in an instant when the other person's gaze swept over her.

Even though her words sounded like moral kidnapping, she really didn't want to see him being the enemy of the whole world.

She was an adult, several years older than him, and they had different perspectives when it came to looking at things like this, so she hoped he could tone down his edges a little.

She hoped that he...would become more and more popular in the future.

Su Mingan sat on the bed and continued to open the private message bar to read the 99+ messages sent by Lu Shu.

He knew that his behavior might seem a bit extreme to outsiders like Yu Ruohe, but he also had his own thoughts behind this behavior.

In the previous games, he had discovered that the organizers were suspicious of him again. The image he had previously created had become incomplete.

At present, he still doesn't know whether the organizer can put obstacles inside the game copy.

On the one hand, he needs to make the image of this "number one player" less perfect in the eyes of the organizers, and even take extreme actions to "retaliate" against others in some cases.
