Chapter Five
When Zhou Qiao woke up, it was just before dawn, and Ye Xiu and the other two were still sitting in front of the computer playing games.
"You guys are working way too hard."
Ye Xiu stood up and stretched his limbs, which were stiff from sitting in front of the computer all night. Zhou Qiao leaned closer to his computer screen and nodded: "Not bad, you've leveled up so fast."
Chen Guo invited Su Mucheng to sleep with her, but hesitated when she looked at Zhou Qiao: "What about Xiaoxiao?"
"I'll leave in a bit."
"Hmm?" Su Mucheng looked a little disappointed. "Xiaoxiao, aren't you going to stay a few more days?"
"I have nowhere to live."
"I remember you're a local."
"The house has been sold." Zhou Qiao leaned over and hugged Su Mucheng, nuzzling her. "Mumu, will you miss me?"
"I will!"
Zhou Qiao reached out and hugged Chen Guo again: "Goodbye, Guo Guo."
Chen Guo felt extremely sorry for Zhou Qiao and patted her on the back: "Where are you going by yourself?"
“I rented a place near the school and share it with Xiao Yezi.” Zhou Qiao let go of Ye Xiu’s hand and looked at him. “If you need anything, contact me on QQ. I’ve linked my messages.”
Ye Xiu waved his hand: "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
Zhou Qiao was bombarded with news as soon as she sat down on the high-speed train.
She changed her signature after midnight last night, and there weren't many people online. Now almost everyone is up.
Windy City in the Rain: Beep beep!
Windy City in the Rain: Xiaoxiao, it's been a long time!
Online dating, choose me, I'm super sweet: Sister Yunxiu, long time no see!
Online dating, choose me, I'm super sweet: Mwah mwah mwah!
Yes, "Choose me for online dating, I'm super sweet" is Zhou Qiao's new nickname. She changed her profile picture to an emoji of someone waving a green wand and cheating on someone, and changed her signature to: CPDD, you are the only one.
So Chu Yunxiu came to find Zhou Qiao early in the morning.
Windy City in the Rain: Give me your contact information!
Windy City in Misty Rain: [emoji.gif]
Chu Yunxiu's emoji looks like it was taken from some TV series.
Online dating: I'm super sweet! This girl is my type!
Wind City Rain: Right? Right? She's so cute!
Wind City Misty Rain: "XXX", you won't regret getting into it!
Online dating expert: I'm super sweet! Perfect timing, I have nothing to watch during the Spring Festival!
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: Can I add you on WeChat? I use that more often now!
Next, Zhou Qiao received a message from Li Yihui, a fellow player on Team Tiny Herb.
Clothes were covered in flying debris!
Clothes flying everywhere: You've actually come back to life!
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: ? ? Do you want me to give you a buff?
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: [Slap! Green hat.jpg]
"Flying Clothes": Wow, this meme is amazing, it even has uneven eyes.
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Online dating: Choose me, I'm super sweet: You've discovered the key point.
Clothes flying everywhere: Why don't you change your profile picture to this one with uneven eyes?
Online dating: I'm super sweet if you choose me. I've taken a screenshot and will send it to Wang Buluoxing immediately.
Clothes were covered in flying debris!
Clothes flying everywhere: No, Xiaoxiao!
Clothes flying everywhere: Have you really forgotten the bond of friendship I formed when I rescued you from your big-eyed dad's death stare?
Online dating: Choose me, I'm super sweet: What do you mean by "big-eyed dad"?
Online dating: I'm super sweet! That's clearly the big-eyed dad from Tiny Herb!
"Drenched in flying petals: No, no, you're the only one in the entire Tiny Grass who dares to call me that."
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: Are you looking down on the god of healing?
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: [Green hat from Cordyceps sinensis.jpg]
"Flying Clothes": I don't have as many pictures as you, I can't beat you, I'm outta here.
After Zhou Qiao switched QQ back to her usual account, she opened WeChat and accepted Chu Yunxiu's friend request, only to see the verification message from Wang Jiexi.
After changing Wang Jiexi's nickname to "Goose Doesn't Eat Grass," Zhou Qiao continued discussing the TV series with Chu Yunxiu.

Taking advantage of the Spring Festival event, Ye Xiu quickly reached level 50 and then immediately began the God Challenge.
As Zhou Qiao expected, Lord Grim quickly dominated the God's Domain forum. Compared to Lord Nightless, the lone wolf wielding a monstrous weapon who could still easily defeat a group of people despite a 20-level difference was clearly more talked about.
Posts related to Lord Grim quickly scrolled through two pages, forcing the administrators to stipulate that related content would be reviewed and duplicate content would be deleted as spam.
Even so, the pages related to Lord Grim are still scrolling by rapidly.
When Lord Grim entered the Realm of Gods, it was the last day of the Spring Festival holiday. Zhou Qiao happened to be online and, after seeing the system notification, asked Chen Guo for Ye Xiu's coordinates via WeChat.
From a distance, Zhou Qiao spotted the oddly dressed Lord Grim and the other two.
"Someone's coming!"
It was Chen Guo's slightly nervous voice.
Zhou Qiao recently chatted via text.
Marquis of Nevernight: Guoguo, I am Xiao Xiao.
Zhu Yanxia: "Huh? Why is it a sharpshooter?"
Nevernight Marquis: It's just a secondary account; what class I play doesn't matter.
Unnight Marquis: Why isn't Ye Shen moving?
Zhu Yanxia: "He's stuck."
Marquis of Nevernight: ? As expected of him.
Marquis of Nevernight: What are you planning to do next?
Lord Grim started moving: "Leveling up."
Marquis of Nevernight: Then I'll accompany you.
The three accompanied each other while leveling up. The Nightless Marquis pulled monsters faster than the Smoke Chaser, who had a longer attack range, and cleared monsters faster as well, which amazed Chen Guo and Lin Shanshui.
Marquis Nevernight: Your silver armor attributes are quite impressive.
Jun Moxiao: It's better than your blue outfit.
The Undying Marquis: Hehe.
Jun Moxiao: Someone's coming.
Marquis of Nevernight: They parted ways.
The Unnight Marquis slowly increased the distance between himself and Lord Grim's two companions, then hid in the nearby forest.
The local chat channel was no longer available, and Zhou Qiao only realized that Lord Grim hadn't accepted her friend request when she tried to message him. Zhou Qiao then tried to message Chen Guo privately.
Unnight Marquis: Why won't Ye Shen accept my friend request?
Chasing the Mist: I've closed it. I'll add you back.
Marquis of Nevernight: I've shut it down too.
Chen Guo, who gave up her seat to watch Ye Xiu and Zhou Qiao talk, was moved to tears: Is this the power of a master?
After Zhou Qiao turned on the friend switch, she finally added Ye Xiu. After all that trouble, the other five people walked up to them.
Unnight Marquis: I've set up my sniper rifle, no big deal.
Jun Moxiao: Don't make a move yet.
After a while.
Jun Moxiao: Come on over, there's no hostility.
Then the Marquis of Nevernight flew his spear again.
After seeing Zhou Qiao's ID, Zhan Loulan sent a message in the chat: "Lord of the Nightless City, I've heard so much about you."
Slaying Loulan: /Admirable
Zhan Loulan: This guy was also signed by your boss?
Jun Moxiao: Yes.
Zhan Loulan: The great god is indeed acting together with the great god.
Zhan Loulan: What is his nickname in the realm of gods?
Zhan Loulan: Could it be Mu Yu Cheng Feng?
Slay Loulan: /smirk
Jun Moxiao: You'll be terrified if I tell you.
Marquis of the Nightless City: Don't you believe his identity?
Never-Night Marquis: /adjusting his glasses
Zhan Loulan: I do have some doubts, after all, Ye Qiu's reputation is too great.
Unnight Marquis: What's your Weibo account number? Ask him to send you a private message using Ye Qiu's account.
Unnight Marquis: Ye Shen, your Weibo account wasn't taken by Excellent Era, was it?
Slay Loulan: ?
Jun Moxiao: Is that even possible?
Jun Moxiao: Let me think about what the password is.
Slaying Loulan: /Tears streaming down my face
After seeing off the five righteous warriors, before they could practice for a while longer, three more people appeared in their field of vision.
The Undying Marquis: That's a bit outrageous, huh?
Nevernight Marquis: You haven't even taken off your disguise yet and so many people are already spamming you.
Jun Moxiao: There's nothing I can do. I want to keep a low profile, but I just can't.
This time, Bu Yehou was too lazy to hide anymore and simply started sniping from the spot. The names of the three people were clearly visible through the scope.
Nevernight Marquis: No guild.
The Undying Marquis: Demon Sword, Divine Spear, Elements.
Ye Xiu paused for a moment after hearing the class composition, then said, "Run."
As he spoke, Lord Grim slid backward with his spear. Zhu Yanxia and Lin Shanshui were confused, but they followed. Only Lord Nightless remained in place.
Marquis Never Sleeps: Why are you running?
Jun Moxiao: He might be a member of Excellent Era.
Marquis of Nevernight: I'm not afraid of that.
Zhou Qiao was truly fearless. The three opponents were completely unaware that Ye Xiu's team had a sharpshooter, so they were caught off guard. The crosshairs of the Nightless Marquis's sniper scope swept across the heads of the three in turn, finally stopping on the sharpshooter's head.
"Bang!"
A Barrett sniper rifle headshot deals double damage, and even though the Nightless Marquis was only wearing blue gear, it still significantly reduced the opponent's health.
This single shot immediately revealed the location of the Nightless Marquis, and the three members of Excellent Era stopped immediately, with the Elemental Mage beginning to chant.
With dual control, Nightless Marquis set up his sniper rifle again and headshot the sharpshooter, leaving him with only half health.
Then, the Undying Marquis interrupted the elemental mage's chant with a single shot, and his spear caught up with Lord Grim.
Marquis of Nevernight: If you hadn't run away just now, we would have taken them down.
Jun Moxiao: Brother, I have a 20-level difference.
Marquis of Nevernight: There are four of us.
Jun Moxiao: Are you serious?
The Undying Marquis: I'll take on two of you; you go fight the Demon Sword.
Jun Moxiao: Okay.
Zhou Qiao was definitely serious.
Ever since Xiao Yifei learned that she had reached the maximum level and entered the God's Domain, he started asking her to play the arena every day. There was a 12-hour time difference between them, so Zhou Qiao had to get up at six o'clock every day to receive Xiao Yifei's loving beatings despite the hundreds of lag points.
During the Spring Festival, Zhou Qiao lost more than a hundred games, but he has made progress. Now, most sharpshooters can't survive a minute against him.
Wang Ze died before he could even react.
Liu Hao, He Ming, and he were initially confident that they could use the 20-level difference to completely suppress Ye Xiu, but they didn't expect that Lord Grim's team would have a sharpshooter. When he saw Lord Grim running away, he was thinking of quickly chasing after him, but unexpectedly, two Barrett sniper shots took away half of his health.
Then Lord Grim and the sharpshooter charged over aggressively.
Wang Ze intended to use the same tactics against him, but just as he set up his sniper rifle, Nightless Hou's bullets were already flying in front of him. Before he could even adjust his aim, the screen went gray.
Without pausing for a moment, Marquis Nevernight turned to the elemental mage after killing the sharpshooter. He Ming teleported instantly, but was hit by a floating bullet as soon as he landed.
Then the elemental mage was sent flying into the sky by the Nightless Marquis's spear, and shot to death along the way.
When the elemental mage's corpse landed, it dropped a piece of equipment.
Seeing this during the battle, Ye Xiu quickly called out to Zhou Qiao, "Quick, pick it up!"
Zhou Qiao was speechless, but still went over and picked it up. Then he turned the gun on the Demon Swordsman. With Zhou Qiao's help, the battle ended quickly.
Lord Grim: "Xiaoxiao is doing well, your marksmanship is much better than before."
Marquis of Nevernight: Hehe, goodbye.
After trading the equipment to Lord Grim, Zhou Qiao promptly logged off.
The next day was registration day, and the third round of course selection began at the same time. Zhou Qiao added a few more courses to her already packed schedule. Her roommate Bing was surprised when she saw it: "Qiao Qiao, why did you fill your schedule so full? You even selected second-year courses?"
Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Because there are more important things to do next year, I need to make time for them."
Her roommate, Bing, stared at her blankly and said, "Qiaoqiao, you look so beautiful when you smile."
