Chapter 38 Online Dating 5
Lu Xuejin pursed her lips and revealed a tender smile.
Even the post that exposed the trend of leaving the big account was edited by him.
Even if Feng Ting had nothing to do with this, his main account being exposed at such an ambiguous moment would make Lu Xuejin and Tianxia not spare him. But Feng Ting couldn't see it clearly, or rather, he understood everything but refused to accept it, always believing that perseverance would make his master change his mind.
It's quite amusing to tease a hot-tempered young man, but you get tired of it quickly.
His fingers brushed past, the wind still lingering, followed by his fourth apprentice, whose name... Lu Xuejin had somewhat forgotten. But seeing the note, she remembered the other's style of doing things.
185 Crybaby Psychopath: [Image.jpg] [Message collapsed]
Ever since I blocked him, this lunatic, just like Feng Ting, has been persistently sending pictures every day, as if he knows Lu Xuejin will click on them... for appreciation.
The naked flesh filled the screen, extremely stimulating to the eye. The abdominal muscles were clearly defined, taut, and beads of sweat hung between the creases.
This person relentlessly sent out suggestive photos, initially taking them with a raw, unpolished style, but gradually becoming more skilled and adept, getting better and better with each attempt.
185 Crybaby Psychopath: Don't you like it?
185 Crybaby Crazy Person: Master. I dreamt of you again.
185 Crybaby Neurotic: Crying and whining.
[...] Dongyao felt that the scene was a bit strange.
The widow had only recently lost her husband when her phone screen was filled with the image of a strange man's body. She looked down, her expression quiet, watching intently.
In a daze, it saw a green light above Shenmo's head.
Although this is also a fragment of him, the scene looks strange no matter how you look at it.
Messages kept popping up on the screen, and Dong Yao couldn't help but sigh that even the fragments of the soul that Silent Man had split off from were so... indescribable.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Fearing that Lu Xuejin might get so engrossed in the game that she forgot about the male lead, it quickly reminded her: "The innocent alt account that you're dragging into this mess is the male lead. Let's start with that alt account."
"Hmm?" Lu Xuejin really hadn't expected that. "They acted really quickly."
He gave a brief comment.
...
The game amplifies emotions and desires, and even the smallest conflict can escalate very quickly.
The next day, Lu Xuejin logged on and found the guild channel unusually lively.
[Guild] Hook Silk Side Slide: When will this constant madness end? I just want to know, will it ever stop? [pounding the ground]
[Guild] Very Fine Leg Hair: Haha, so what if the wind stops?
[Guild] Hook Silk Side Slide: I don't know who provoked him, he's taking down a low-level account, and even Lu Tian doesn't care about him?
[Guild] Lost Soul for Eight Hundred Years: Even the leader of the Lutian Guild would be killed if he got too close, who dares to touch this demon? [Laughing]
[Guild] Fine Leg Hair: That alt account is really pitiful, could it be a newbie? Wind Stop has no class, tsk tsk.
[Guild] Hook and Slide: ...?
[Guild] Very fine leg hair: ? ? ?
[Guild] Very Fine Leg Hair: What grudge does this alt have against him? Put a bounty on him, six thousand! He'll be slaughtered!
[Guild] Manmanmanmanman: With such a bounty, we probably can't continue playing. This person seems to be the alt account that was killed when the boss confronted Fengting yesterday.
[Guild] Hook Silk Side Slide: Damn! That guy can't find a leader and is taking it out on a newbie. What's the difference between offering a bounty on a low-level account and slapping us in the face? Let's go, guys grab our weapons!
Lu Xuejin saw the wanted poster hanging high, and the person wanted was none other than the male lead's alternate account, Luo Ying.
[Guild] Lai Si: No need, I'll handle it.
In Endless Retribution, anyone on your friend list or vendetta list can have their coordinates tracked by purchasing the [Rare Artifact: Thousand Knots].
My heart is like a double-stranded net, with thousands of knots within.
This item, originally intended as a romantic prop for the Romance System, was quickly turned into a tool for players who favored the "tap-tap" system to ambush and kill their enemies. Many players who had a premonition used the "Thousand Knots" system to track their romantic partners, only to find themselves being cuckolded, having gone from being the main wife to a mistress... or even one of the other members of the "number team".
Although Lu Xuejin severed her master-disciple relationship with Gan Fengzou, Gan Fengzou and Feng Tingbuzhi were still on her friend list. The latter was someone Feng Tingbuzhi had been harassing her about, and Lu Xuejin was forced to add him because she couldn't stand it anymore.
After using the Thousand Knots technique, Feng Tingbuzhi's coordinates were revealed on the screen. Lu Xuejin immediately teleported there, and upon landing, she saw Feng Tingbuzhi had just killed Luo Ying. Tianyi, dressed in simple beginner attire, lay tragically down, making Taoshan, who was drawing his bow, seem rather like someone who bullied the weak.
Many players watched from a distance, and the nearby channels were buzzing with messages. When they saw Lai Si, the messages paused for a moment, and then burst forth like water from a silver bottle.
[Nearby] Goddess of Heaven: The wind won't stop, your master has arrived! Kneel down immediately!
[Nearby] A Thousand Disappointments: The wind may stop, but your master is here! Kneel down immediately!
[Nearby] Encountering the abstract contestant: After longing for the appearance of his lofty master, Feng Ting Bu Zhi saw this scene and laughed bitterly: This scoundrel harbors evil intentions. So what if I accidentally killed him? If Master doesn't like me, just kill me!
He readily accepted advice and, before the wind had even stopped, launched into a series of smooth and delicate combos that instantly killed him.
Now even the wicked Momoyama has fallen.
[Nearby] The wind keeps stopping: ...
Lai Si ignored him and brought up the bounty page.
[World]: Player Feng Ting Bu Zhi has committed numerous evil deeds. Player Lai Si has issued a bounty on him, worth 10,000 Jade Fragments. We hope that all immortals will work together to kill the ringleader!
[World] Lai Si: Whoever killed Luo Ying, the next person to be wanted will be him.
This attitude of spending money lavishly, this unwavering, arrogant, and straightforward protection, really hits the players' hearts hard.
[World] Brother Health: Who is it? Who killed my Daoist partner's disciple? [Red eyes] Who dares to disobey my orders? [Walking back and forth] It's you! The wind won't stop! Today, Brother Health will surely eliminate the demon and protect the righteous path, to comfort the heart of my dear Daoist partner. [Smirk]
[World] Big Head Son: The wind has stopped, but you're still waiting for me, I'm coming!
[World] The Father of Mushroom Sauce: My wife is so awesome! It hurts so much! [fingers emoji]
[World] Hooked Silk Side Slide: Slaughtering Heaven's People, step forward! @Little Master Flowery Age, is that you jumping? @Zunlan, is that you jumping? @One Sword Breaks the Sky, try jumping again?
[World] Young Master's Flowery Age: Master and Apprentice Flirt and Bicker, Why Then Do We Hear a Dog Barking?
[World] One Sword Breaks the Sky: @HookSilkSideSlide Did you pay for this before you jumped? Did you post the bounty before you jumped? You're hopeless, always using this as an excuse to act tough. How pathetic must your real life be to act like this? [picking nose]
[World] Slip-on: Hehe, I have something to say.
[World] One Sword Pierces the Sky: Dog shit panics when she sees me, who will kill her a few times?
[World] Slip-on: Hehe, I have something to say.
[World] The Father of Mushroom Sauce: Stop arguing! This won't kill you! By the way, where are the coordinates for "Wind Never Stops"? Urgent! [starry eyes]
[World] Orphan Boss: DM me 20 Jade each
[World] Pumpkin Pie Not Eaten: They've already sold it, the scalpers have made their money, but where's your driftwood?
[World] Orphan Boss: @PumpkinPie, how do you know I'm an orphan if you don't eat it? Just popping in for an ad while it's hot. Fashion items, mounts, rare beasts, magical treasures, coordinates, and more are all available here. Bosses, feel free to message me anytime if you're interested. You can also contact @OrphanSecondBoss or @OrphanThirdBoss.
[Nearby] Goddess: A sudden downpour occurred here after the wind stopped, perhaps we...
[Nearby] A Thousand Disappointments: Are you crazy?! You think you're some kind of genius who can one-shot people? Look at your pathetic level, pathetic cultivation, pathetic weapon!
[Nearby] Goddess: You bitch, I'll kill you first!
As she was saying this, God actually turned against ten thousand misfortunes.
Lu Xuejin ignored the raucous people and pulled Luo Ying up. Feng Buli remained lying silently, refusing to get up, for some reason.
[Nearby] Lai Si: Remove the bounty.
Feng Shibu didn't answer. A few seconds later, the bounty was updated—he had actually increased the bounty for Luo Ying again.
[World] Poor Brother-in-Law: kswl...
[World] Grandma God: The cunning wind is picking up sugar again [disdain]
[World] Poor brother-in-law: This love-hate relationship is so exciting! I'm offering a high price for chat screenshots; the kids are starving, please give them some food! [starry-eyed]
The reward has been increased again as the wind continues to blow.
[Nearby] Lai Si: I'll play along, but don't drag others into this. The bounty has been withdrawn.
[Nearby] The wind keeps blowing: Check private messages.
The messages sent were nothing more than explanations and grievances, which Lu Xuejin was too lazy to read. Seeing that no one dared to accept the bounty on Luo Ying, she immediately messaged Luo Ying after adding him as a friend and asked him to join the guild.
[Private Chat] Lai Si: You should come to the Sky to avoid the storm first.
Every day, people try to join the Heavenly Realm guild, but because the guild is nearing saturation, he and several other high-ranking members, including Fox, agree not to let anyone in easily. Now, Luo Ying's application appears on the list, and Lu Xuejin immediately approves it.
[Guild]: Player [Luoying] has joined the guild. Come and welcome the new member!
[Guild] Fox: ...
[Guild] Hook Silk Side Slide: Welcome new classmate! [Sprinkling flowers] Our guild has great benefits and our players are very enthusiastic. You've come to the right place in Sky Above!
[Guild] Very Fine Leg Hair: Welcome, welcome! Don't mind Feng Ting and Lu Tian, those lunatics.
[Guild] Fox: Welcome! [Sprinkling flowers]
After scrolling through several pages of welcome messages, the person in question finally arrived late, cautiously sending a smiley face emoji.
[Guild] Luoying: Thank you everyone, and thank you to the expert for helping me.
Some people immediately raised their eyebrows, sensing a strange, almost imperceptible aura about the new member.
Just as things were getting lively, Luo Ying's movements were soon revealed to the world.
[World] Big Head Son: Hey sis, weren't you the poor little guy being bullied? How did you suddenly become a member of a big gang? I've been crying the whole time [crying]
[World] Gou Si Side Slide: What? You mean Luo Ying joined that top-ranked guild on the first server, Tian Shang Zhi, with its strict requirements, elite members, comprehensive benefits, a handsome and dashing guild leader, sharp, rich, and beautiful vice-guild leaders, and invincible fighting spirit? Wow! [Surprised] Luo Ying really went to the right place. Let's see who dares to shamelessly bully low-level accounts now! [Sunglasses]
[World] Encountering an abstract player: What the hell?! Why? Why?! I have 13,000 cultivation points, I'm a Qingyun in the Arena, and I'm the sixth senior brother in Jiancheng. I've applied for the Heavenly Arena so many times, and I still can't beat a newbie with no experience. Damn it, my Dao heart is truly shattered now. Why? Why? Why?! [crying]
[World] Goddess: Abstract, don't cry, because you are too strong and don't know how to show your vulnerability.
[World] Pumpkin pie not eaten: Pass it on, Nice likes the fragility of fallen petals!
[World] The Father of Mushroom Sauce: Pass it on, Nice likes the fragility of fallen petals!
【World】Trojan Horse: I'm also very vulnerable [crying] When will Lai Si let me lean on his broad arms to comfort me: Little Trojan Horse, whoever dares to insult you, I will kill! What do you want, I will buy! Who dares to offend me, Lai Si's people?
[World] Pulse Returns: The threshold to the heavens is so high; those who can get in either have money or skill. Luo Ying really got incredibly lucky.
[World] Do you remember: Daddy, if I could get into the Heavenly Realm and become a friend of Lai Si, I'd be willing to be slapped a thousand times. @WindStopsWhenWillYouSlapMeToo!
[World] Goddess: @WindStopsWhenWillYouComeAndWhiteAtMe!
[World] Big Head Son: @WindStopsWhereAreYou? Don't run away from my 10,000 Jade! [crying] By the way, when are you coming to take over my turn?
The new account "Luoying" has become famous on the server. Gossip posts on the forum are updated in real time, and its reputation as being "fighted over" by two top players has even reached the ears of the neighboring server.
Yuan Ying had been playing Endless Mode quietly for so long, always playing with bots in dungeons. This was the first time he had received so many friend requests and private messages. Some people even paid to send him private messages to insult him, calling him shameless and scheming.
Yuan Ying remained completely unmoved after reading these vicious and mocking remarks.
Some members of the Lutian Gang even messaged him privately.
[Private Chat] Young Master Huaxin Age: You're a new account, and if you don't want to get involved in any trouble, it's best to leave the guild. Fengtingfadian Sha did make a mistake, and the bounty has been removed. Here's a set of exquisite dice and a piece of water wave silk for you. How about that, girl?
[Private Chat] Young Master Huaxin Age: If you want to join a guild, there are a few good, relaxing guilds here. I don't think you're a PvP player. There are a bunch of combat maniacs in the Sky, you wouldn't last long even if you stayed there.
Yuan Ying returned his smile.
Suddenly, Lai Si sent him a private message, telling him to turn off private chat and that those people were just bored and he shouldn't pay attention to them.
Yuan Ying was quickly added to the WeChat group on the Sky, and naturally added Lai Si's contact information. Before she could even check what Lai Si had on her Moments, she was pulled into YY. In the small room, besides Yuan Ying, the newcomer, there was only Lai Si.
Yuan Ying: ...
For some reason, he felt nervous.
The microphone icon jumped up and down, and Lai Si said, "Luo Ying, have you completed your daily and weekly tasks?"
It is a very gentle and clear voice.
Even with cheap headphones, his captivating voice is undeniable. No wonder, despite the lack of leaked photos, so many people still yearn for an online romance with him. His voice alone is enough to draw people in, and his substantial wealth and sharp skills further enhance his allure, making him seem like a dream come true in the endless stream of chat rooms.
Yuan Ying typed: I've done the daily tasks, but I haven't finished the weekly tasks yet.
Lai Si: "Is it inconvenient to talk now?"
I've bought the voice changer, but the microphone I ordered online has only just left the warehouse.
Yuan Ying continued typing: The microphone is broken. It's not convenient to talk in the dormitory.
The next second, he was pulled into the dungeon team above the sky by Lai Si.
“They’re playing a weekly game, so we can take a break.” Lai Si chuckled softly as she spoke. Yuan Ying pulled off her left earphone, rubbed her ear, and found it was a little hot.
That's so pathetic.
Don't be misled by Lai Si. Think about how he repeatedly pulled you up and then killed you before!
【Heavenly Soul Palace】is a newly released weekly dungeon, and its mechanics are said to be more complex than before. Many people have been failing repeatedly while following the AI opponents, resulting in thousands of complaints on the official Weibo account. Yuan Ying had been busy cultivating Moonstones and hadn't tried it yet. He clicked "Follow" on Lai Si's page, intending to take some time to look at a guide, but the team leader quickly started the dungeon, and they encountered the first boss as soon as the browser interface popped up.
Luo Ying's level was barely enough, her cultivation and meridians were in disarray, and she had lost several levels to Feng Tingzhi before, making her extremely fragile. She didn't have time to dodge and was killed by the fan-wielding BOSS as soon as they met.
Yuan Ying: ...
"Excuse me," he typed halfway through, when another person lay down beside him—their divine armor surrounded and floated with silver particles, and their fox ears twitched in the wind even in death. Lai Si was dead too.
"?" Yuan Ying was confused.
The remaining team members were busy, and the nanny, who clearly had time to help them up, didn't move at all. The two corpses lay there alone, peacefully enjoying the fruits of the labor of others.
[Team] Fallen Blossoms: ...So that's how you lie down.
[Team] Lai Si: [Smile]
The AI in the sky is generally not well-trained, and running dungeons with AI often results in failure. Yuan Ying always runs dungeons silently, and if he fails, he runs again. If he's unlucky, he might have to run a dungeon four or five times to clear it. Although the dungeon teams are constantly being refreshed in the recruitment channel, he has never joined any. You could say he's a lone wolf to the extreme.
It was the first time I'd run a dungeon with other people, but it was so easy. All I had to do was watch the colorful characters and skill effects jumping around on the screen.
The entire week went incredibly smoothly. Yuan Ying only had to stay in the team and die; her only action was typing and chatting with Lai Si.
The gaming master, whom everyone admires, is actually very gentle and humorous when chatting. There were several moments when Yuan Ying almost forgot that the person behind the screen was the enemy he wanted to take revenge on.
The Heavenly Robe equipment dropped, and Lai Si bought it and gave it to him. He also gave red envelopes to the other team members as a reward for helping them through the dungeon.
[Team] Lost Soul for Eight Hundred Years: I believe that one day, the gaming master who carried me through dungeons will come to see me riding on a rainbow cloud [starry eyes]
[Team] Bibidou: Boss Lai Si is so generous! Remember to call me next time there's something like this, I guarantee I'll provide excellent service and make you feel right at home.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Ying's level caught up with the server. Lai Si checked his attributes and said, "Hasn't your cultivation and meridians been adjusted? They're a mess."
Luo Ying: I don't dare to make a move. I've been looking at strategy guides lately.
"Let's get the Linglong Dice first. We'll need it sooner or later to open our meridians."
At this time, no one was playing dungeons in the sky, so Lai Si led him to a random team. When the random players saw the team leader's ID, they all screamed.
[Team] From the beginning: Master!! Please take a picture with me!
This time, since he couldn't lie down with Yuan Ying, he had her find a corner to lie down in and then started giving instructions via microphone. Even though some people made frequent mistakes, he never yelled at them, remaining calm and gentle in his instructions to the other players.
After the dungeon run, several players who had only heard of Lai Si's reputation but had never actually met him were clearly reluctant to part ways and wanted to add Lai Si as a friend.
[Team] Lai Si: Sorry, the list is full.
[Team] From the beginning: Waaah, Nice, I can't bear to part with you [crying]
From beginning to end, Lai Si was impeccably kind and gentle. He was indeed wealthy, and a truly good person.
This makes their behavior on Tiannv Mountain seem even more bizarre that day.
Yuan Ying stared at Fei Xing, who was wiping his sword in standby mode on the screen, and suddenly felt hesitant.
...Could it be that it really is a misunderstanding?
Perhaps it wasn't Lai Si himself who logged on that day.
“I’m sorry to drag you into this, but the storm hasn’t died down yet, and those people are watching you closely. There are a lot of people in the game who have nothing better to do than vent their frustrations, and you could easily become their target,” Lai Siwen said. “So for the next while, it’s best if you stick with me and the other guild members. Okay?”
Luoying: Thank you.
Lai Si chuckled with a troubled expression: "No need for thanks, it was all my fault to begin with. Once things have calmed down, if you find a gang you like better, it's not too late to leave then."
Lai Si and Luo Ying stood together, idling.
The sound of someone drinking water came from the other end of the earpiece, and Yuan Ying found herself in a state of idleness.
After thinking for a while, he clicked on Lai Si's profile picture and entered the community.
The home of the master was also unique, exuding an aura of wealth everywhere. Yuan Ying browsed for a while, then opened the home section and suddenly caught a glimpse of a picture uploaded by Lai Si—a snow-covered, windswept mountain peak, with Fei Ying Fei Xing lowering his eyes and raising his sword, the composition, atmosphere, and artistic conception were all perfect.
The upload time was the very day Yuan Ying was killed.
The initial emotion and doubt vanished instantly.
Yuan Ying was completely baffled.
Lai Si has such a good reputation on the server, which means he has always presented a gentle personality and has never done anything to tarnish that image. So why, on that particular day, did he commit such a heinous act against a complete stranger's account? Wasn't he afraid of being exposed on the forum?
The endless world is full of powerful and influential figures with distinct personalities, even those whose behavior is questionable, yet they still have their admirers. There's absolutely no need for Lai Si to suppress her true nature.
Is he the kind of person who deliberately pretends and enjoys it?
Suddenly, Tianyi, who was on standby, launched a normal attack at Feixing.
[Party] Fallen Petals: ...Sorry, I accidentally clicked it.
Lai Si didn't speak, but just chuckled softly.
Yuan Ying couldn't help but rub her ears while laughing.
