Chapter 41 Online Dating 8
Luo Ying's voice wasn't particularly pleasant; it was neutral to deep, a bit hoarse, with a strange electrical hum and distortion. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run; after all these years of observing, anyone with eyes can tell what a voice changer sounds like.
"He's been typing the whole time, and only just turned on his mic, and he's even using a voice changer. This kind of person is either the wrong gender or has a bad character. Boss Lai, are you out of your mind?!"
"A transvestite with a huge dick at first glance, if he's not a gold digger, I'll eat him
"Rolls is brilliant!"
During breaks in command, Lai Si also taught Luo Ying how to deal damage and heal, speaking softly and gently, almost correcting her actions step by step.
The other warriors, upon hearing this, felt a pang of envy. While secretly jotting down the key points, they exclaimed, "What makes him so special!"
"I'm so jealous, so incredibly jealous... Who will sympathize with me for all the times I've been beaten to a pulp over the past few years?!"
"Nice got scammed! Sigh! Sigh!"
They chattered away privately, but no one dared to openly remind Lai Si. First, they weren't familiar with her; aside from interactions within the gang, they hadn't even chatted privately. Second, they couldn't be sure what Lai Si was thinking; what if she didn't care about these things? If they went to complain, wouldn't they seem petty?
While everyone was talking, the first boss was defeated, and the progress was stuck on the second boss. Everyone logged off to rest, set alarms for the next day, and with Lai Si leading the team, the dungeon mechanics were not a problem. The important thing was to work together. After a few days, the team members developed a tacit understanding and finally managed to secure third place and achieve the first clear.
A meteorite was discovered and purchased by Lu Xuejin at a high price.
After the high-pressure dungeon run ended, the atmosphere in the team became relaxed, and everyone chatted happily.
"Boss, are you going to make Shenwu?"
Lai Si already had a divine weapon, but one can never have too many of these things.
Lu Xuejin hummed in agreement.
"Flying Star is indeed beautiful."
“No,” Lu Xuejin said, “it’s from Tianyi.”
For a moment, the YY channel fell silent. After a while, someone asked hesitantly, "Was it made for Luoying?"
Lu Xuejin gave an affirmative answer.
this……
So sour!!
Another round of shouting and roaring erupted in the private chat.
"Luoying, accept this gift."
Everyone watched Luo Ying's reaction closely, thinking: "Such a precious meteorite, you shouldn't accept it. You've already received so many other things, one more won't make a difference..."
To everyone's surprise, Luo Ying calmly replied, "Thank you."
She accepted it without any further explanation!
That evening, a post appeared on the homepage of the game forum.
Am I the only one who thinks something's off about the top guild's outfit in the first server?
The most lively topics on the Endless Forum are gossip posts, especially those involving top players on the server rankings, which ignite endless curiosity and a thirst for gossip. Although posted in the early hours of the morning, this particular post still attracted a large influx of people eager for entertainment thanks to its rather sensational title.
The original poster was also very honest, getting straight to the point.
One packet of instant noodles lasts three days: After observing this "green tea" (a derogatory term for a manipulative woman) for so long, I can't help but speak up; I just can't hold it in any longer. In the first server, there are two notoriously rival guilds, let's call them the Celestial Court Guild and the Netherworld Guild. These two guilds have always been at odds, with a lot of tension between their members. A few days ago, a conflict broke out while they were fighting over a boss, and an innocent new account got dragged into it. This new account had a nice name, played the most traditional pure healer, was dressed in a simple school uniform, and pitifully collapsed, instantly eliciting sympathy from a top player in the Celestial Court Guild.
One packet of instant noodles lasted three days: The expert player, skilled and wealthy, wielded considerable influence within the guild, allowing the new account to easily infiltrate (a side note: the Celestial Court guild has notoriously high entry requirements; those without money and skill are strictly prohibited from joining. The former leader of the Jiancheng guild was exposed for using scripts and subsequently kicked out). The new account lacked both skill and resources, making her entry a stroke of incredible luck. The expert player treated her exceptionally well, personally guiding her through leveling and dungeons. The girl, completely at ease, received gifts like the Linglong and Feibiao sets, and helped her open pet eggs. Aside from a verbal thank you, she accepted everything without hesitation. The poster witnessed this several times and was utterly dumbfounded.

Holy crap?! Linglong Flying Bird?! Your server's top player is so powerful, you should invite me to this opportunity! I'm dying of impatience! I'm willing to be dragged into the brutal battles of major guilds, just so I can die a miserable death and be dressed in magnificent robes! Give me a chance!
The original poster's code is better left unwritten. Isn't it just the first server's Lai Si and that one, what's her name again? Yingying?
No, bro, I thought the story of Lai Si offering a reward for the traitor for his lover was over, but there's more to it? If the poster wasn't cheated on, Lai Si is being too generous... But thinking about it, it's just small change for him.
The reply from "One bag of instant noodles lasts three days" is: It's a small amount of money for an expert, but for an ordinary person, receiving such a valuable gift after only knowing someone for a short time is inappropriate. Besides, the original poster hasn't finished speaking.
One bag of instant noodles lasts three days: A new king has arrived, and a master player spends a fortune recruiting a strategy team (I won't reveal the exact amount, but it's more than you can imagine), just to carry this girl through the game. In the end, the auction yields a Starfall item. The poster thought the master player was going to build another divine weapon, but it turns out he bought the Starfall to build a divine weapon for this girl!! And this girl, she just casually said "thank you," as if she had no idea how high the market price of divine weapons is.
She ate a bag of instant noodles for three days: She never used her mic before; when the pro player was logged in on YY (a voice chat platform), she would type and say she didn't have a mic. It wasn't until that day, during the King of Fighters match, that she suddenly turned on her mic, and her voice... well, anyone could tell she was using a voice changer. The poster, holding the money the pro player had shared, felt a little hot-tempered, thinking that the pro player was so knowledgeable and shouldn't have been fooled by a gold digger; why was he buying things for this girl?
Does Laisi need any girls? Add me on WeChat to use a voice changer online; I have the voice you want.
Do you need a younger brother instead of a younger sister? 189,200. Waiting online, urgent! [peeking]
The user posted numerous screenshots showing that he ate a bag of instant noodles for three days, and all the points mentioned were correct. In the screenshots, the expert was always giving away gifts, while the other party's response was indifferent, with a simple "thank you" or a smiling emoji.
Many people who had long been annoyed by the falling petals shared their experiences.
They're obviously trying to make money off others. Once they turn on the voice changer, it's impossible to tell whether they're male or female in front of the computer. They're not even pretending anymore.
Maya, I was so busy having fun watching this that I never expected her to be this kind of person. She's definitely a scammer. My ex cheated me out of 20,000 yuan like this, and then she pulled out a penis bigger than mine.
What exactly does Lai Si see in her? She never speaks up, never posts photos, and never makes a sound in the guild. She follows Lai Si around like a robot every day.
Because he is kind.
Little Nice Girl has a great personality kk
He'll save the dog!
One bag of instant noodles lasts three days: Of course, an NPC who can't eat corn doesn't need attention, but that's not how she is in front of the experts.
Paomian posted several more screenshots, in which Tianyi hugged Feixing.
Wow, that's clever! Playing hard to get, this guy—I think he's a man (I looked at his clothes with suspicion; a woman couldn't possibly have such poor taste). He probably came prepared with all sorts of plans and strategies in advance!
Our little sweetheart is just so unlucky [crying]
Hey, be careful, don't get pricked by the needle and turn into Sleeping Beauty. Even if you do, it's okay, I'll just kiss you awake! [delicious]
The next day, the post was highlighted on the homepage and quickly garnered thousands of replies. Someone forwarded it to the guild group.
Whose immortal is this? [Group chat]
The Will of Seven: ?
Bibidou: ? ?
Hooked silk side slip: Isn't this referring to "I think of you" and "fallen petals"?
The story was told in great detail, complete with screenshots as evidence, making it seem like the person in the gang was involved. Moreover, its popularity was escalating; it appeared on other platforms as soon as the user left the forum. Gou Si became increasingly suspicious, believing someone was stirring things up, and went to Fox to complain.
Slipping on the side: Hey buddy, someone's definitely messing with us!
After Fox understood the whole story, he contacted Lu Xuejin, who was busy at the costume shop dyeing a new outfit. He casually answered the phone call and continued fiddling with the color swatches.
The fox's voice was melodious as it asked with a smile, "Xuejin, look at the post I forwarded to you."
The clicking of the mouse stopped, and Lu Xuejin opened the call interface between the two. Just from the nicknames, she could roughly tell the content. Lu Xuejin didn't waste any time, glanced at it, and continued coloring.
The fox asked, "Have you finished reading?"
"Hmm," Lu Xuejin replied casually.
Their every move on the server was closely watched. Sometimes, a casual remark could cause a huge uproar. Posts about the heavens, the fox, and Lai Si were updated daily on the forum. There was no need to get angry over outsiders' speculations or attention, so the two of them remained calm.
However, this time a third person has been involved. Lu Xuejin has been paying so much attention to Luo Ying lately, and Fox feels it is necessary to ask her about it.
What's your opinion on fallen petals?
He didn't directly say "the guy you brought is a swindler," but everyone could understand the implied meaning.
Lu Xuejin said calmly, "So what?"
It's true that he gave Luo Ying gifts, and it's also true that Luo Ying accepted them all. What was originally just a matter between the two of them became less simple after being relayed by outsiders.
Money is just a string of numbers; sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down. If those things aren't given to Yuan Ying in exchange for contribution points, they'll just gather dust in her account. However, to others, it might seem too valuable, so based on their life experience and basic self-esteem, they believe that Yuan Ying shouldn't take it all for granted.
“This is a bit boring,” he said.
Fox: "Don't we care? The buildings are getting taller and taller."
Lu Xuejin thought for a moment: "Let's cool things down. I don't care, but we shouldn't involve him."
How thoughtful.
The man on the recliner had slightly dark eyes, but as he listened to Lu Xuejin's concern for Luo Ying, he smiled.
Judging from Lu Xuejin's current treatment of Luo Ying, she's just another disciple who will eventually be abandoned. He's seen many people like her, different faces coming and going, but none of them can stay by Lu Xuejin's side for long.
Thinking of this, he stopped talking and instead asked about Lu Xuejin's life: "I heard you went back to City C a few days ago. How are you feeling?"
It's no secret in the circle that the young master of the Lu family has a good constitution. Moreover, his best friend is Lu Xuejin's fiancé, who is studying abroad and busy with his career, so naturally, Fox takes over taking care of him.
Lu Xuejin's casual, perfunctory words were relayed word for word by the fox to her WeChat contacts.
The reply came quickly: Okay, thank you.
He rubbed his fingers against the screen, scrolling up and down the interface. Most of his chats with his best friend were about Lu Xuejin, what she liked to eat and play recently... His best friend's account was still logged in the management list of "Above the Sky".
The fox found it both strange and amusing. Clearly, the other person had a closer relationship with Lu Xuejin, and there should have been a special connection that he couldn't interfere with. But inexplicably, his good friend didn't dare to contact Lu Xuejin first, so he was asked to act as a bridge between them.
He's only engaged, isn't he afraid of being easily abandoned in the end because he has no feelings for her?
When Fox was in high school, he studied on Hong Kong Island. Lu Xuejin liked the mung bean dumplings from a dessert shop near their school. The dessert shop was popular, with long queues all the time. His best friend would rather skip class and sweat it out in the sweltering summer to buy a bag of desserts, but instead of showing his appreciation in person, he made Fox run errands for him.
Young Master Lu's manor is lush with flowers, and ignoring the scorching heat, the scenery is vibrant and colorful, like an oil painting.
He waited under the parasol below the small white building. With a slight glance, he could catch a glimpse of a blurry shadow behind the stained-glass window on the second floor—Lu Xuejin was looking at him from behind the curtains, her hair tied back with a few stray strands piling up around her ears and shoulders. He looked like a handful of fresh snow in the height of summer, a doll framed by the window frame.
When she smiles, her azure eyes are like an endless clear sky, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The mung bean dumplings, from the time his good friend lined up to buy them, to the time he delivered them to the manor, and finally to the time they reached Lu Xuejin's hands, still exuded a refreshing sweetness, their coolness lingering. The figure behind the window frame vanished in a flash. The fox saw the nanny's shadow and imagined Lu Xuejin scooping up a spoonful, opening her mouth to swallow it contentedly, and smiling with narrowed eyes.
Because of his weak health, Young Master Lu usually avoids spicy and cold foods, so this is the only time he can eat cold food. It takes him half an hour to eat a bowl the size of his palm.
The hot wind lifted the corner of the curtains, allowing the fox to glimpse Young Master Lu's profile. He held a spoon in his mouth, his cheeks slightly puffed out, and his snow-white skin was almost transparent.
Only when the sun is about to set will the fox return to school to face his best buddy's questioning.
“How would I know about his body?” The boy sat on his desk, his back against the pale wall, and casually cracked his knuckles. “Isn’t that your wife? I was downstairs enjoying the cool air and didn’t notice her. If you’re worried, go check out the Lu residence tonight.”
It's been several years since I last saw him. Is he still as fragile as a doll as before?
For a moment, his heart itched, and his curiosity was irrepressible. The fox felt he should help his good friend check on the state of his fiancé whom he had raised since childhood, lest the Lu family spoil him. So he asked Lu Xue if she was coming to a serious gathering in the circle today and tomorrow. Apart from a few idle second-generation rich kids, the attendees were all newly rich with legitimate careers and achievements, and there were many friends worth making among them.
After a few moments of silence, the person on the other end said, "It depends on what my brother thinks."
...
The banquet was held at a lakeside manor, hosted by the head of a long-established wealthy family in City C, who invited political and business elites under the guise of celebrating his birthday. Lu Xuejin didn't care about the purpose of the gathering; she only reluctantly turned off her computer and left because Gu Zeyu told her she should go out to meet her elders and get to know some talented peers.
Numerous media outlets were stationed at the entrance of the manor, their camera shutters clicking incessantly. People are always drawn to things and levels they haven't yet seen, and a few photos of bigwigs attract far more traffic than sensational headlines.
But when Lu Xuejin got out of the car with Gu Zeyu, the media tacitly avoided him. Clearly, Gu Zeyu had given them a heads-up.
Upon entering the main hall, they were greeted by elegantly dressed men and women, some bowing and others nodding in greeting. Several prominent families gathered around, and Gu Zeyu chatted with them, introducing his young master in the process.
"He's only been back a short time, so we'll have to rely on you all for support from now on," Gu Zeyi said with a smile, gently pressing Lu Xuejin's shoulder.
Gu Zeyu always has a cold face, as if everyone owes him eight million, but he can smile now. His facial nerves haven't died!
Many people secretly complained.
"It's the Lu family boy. I used to hold you when you were little. Time flies so fast, you've grown up so much in the blink of an eye."
"A fine young talent, like an orchid or a jade tree."
Lu Xuejin handled the situation well. The champagne-colored dress was cleanly and crisply tailored, hugging his body curves and accentuating his slender waist and long legs. Soft blond hair cascaded over his shoulders, his skin was as clean and cold as fresh snow, and his eyes were like sapphires embedded in the snow.
He exudes an overall reserved and aloof demeanor, but his naturally smiling lips and perpetually upturned eyes also make him seem gentle and approachable.
It couldn't be more fitting for the image of a "young nobleman".
The idle second-generation rich kids spend their days eating, drinking, having fun, and cricket fighting. Gu Zeyu is the one they talk about most often. It's the first time they've seen him bring people to a banquet. The second-generation rich kids are surprised and curious about his identity.
"Old Gu has finally come to his senses? What a pretentious act. I thought he was such a virtuous gentleman, but it turns out he's so love-struck that he brought his little lover here."
"I should say it, but my taste is good; I appreciate beauty objectively."
"Who is he? Has anyone seen him? I'd like to get his contact information."
"What's so good about hanging out with Old Man Gu? He's a zombie. You give him clothes, cars, and luxury goods, but does he even know how to play the game?"
Hearing the crickets chirping with a hint of sarcasm and a restless energy, someone couldn't help but laugh: "You guys are really brave, really fearless, so stupid it makes me laugh."
He can't even recognize people, no wonder he's excluded from the family's power circle.
"Don't forget that Gu Zeyu has a younger brother, the pampered young master of the Gu and Lu families. If you dare to make a move on him, you'll all die a thousand times over."
"So it was him! He controls the Chunshui Fund and makes a lot of money. But he's in poor health and rarely shows his face."
"...Tsk tsk, and there's the Lu family waiting for him to inherit, isn't that awesome?"
The fox was right behind them, and listening to the fools chatter was quite amusing. After Lu Xuejin finished greeting the older generation and came over, he observed Lu Xuejin through his wine glass.
The pale red, swaying wine framed her beautiful face, which could be both angry and happy, and whose color was like fresh snow or flowers in the wind.
"Long time no see. You even dyed your hair." The fox smiled with narrowed eyes; the blonde hair and blue eyes suited Lu Xuejin very well.
Lu Xuejin's response was gentle but also indifferent.
In reality, aside from their childhood friendship and a connection online, they were not familiar with each other.
Time is a magical thing. Several years have passed, and he has gone from an unappreciated illegitimate son who had to smile obsequiously to the de facto head of the family. Lu Xuejin, on the other hand, seems to be the same boy who used to hide behind the window and observe the world, unchanged.
Both Lu Xuejin and the fox were the center of attention. The two stood together with their lips slightly parted. The second generation thought they were discussing ways to make money, but they awkwardly but firmly moved in that direction.
Upon closer listening, I heard things like "united front management," "guild wars," "faction war command," "007," and "monthly benefits"... What is all this?!
Talking about games in such a formal setting.
Neuropathy!
After discussing the future development plans for "Above the Sky," Lu Xuejin remembered to check her phone; the guild group still had 99+ messages.
Go in with a little bit.
Slipping on the thread: What's going on? Fallen Blossom has left the guild.
The Will of Seven: Huh? There's no need for that. Just laugh it off on the forum, no need to take it to heart.
When you exit, Yuan Ying is at the top of the message list.
He posted several messages, all of which were explanations regarding the doubts raised by the forum's public opinion.
Luo Ying: I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Looking back, I realize some of my actions were indeed problematic. But I truly didn't deceive you, nor did I intend to ask you for anything... However, saying this now might seem insincere. Lai Si, thank you for playing games with me these past few days. I know you feel bad about Feng Ting Bu Zhi's situation, but he is him, and you are you. You're great; don't let him hold you hostage. I'll find a way to return those things to you later.
Luoying: In the end, thank you so much.
Fallen Petals: [The puppy bows and walks away]
Dong Yao's evaluation: [That's very sincere. Host, don't think of the male lead as such a bad person. Looking at it this way, he really is a good person.]
Lu Xuejin: "Really... that's what you think."
Dongyao: [Isn't that wrong?]
Lu Xuejin didn't reply. She deliberately tapped the chat box with her finger, but didn't type a reply.
Seeing that he had been lingering for so long, the fox asked, "What's wrong?"
Turning off her phone, Lu Xuejin shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing."
The two then began to discuss the developments in the heavens.
...
The message "The other party is typing" lasted only a moment. Yuan Ying waited for a long time, but did not receive a reply.
Could this tactic be a strategic retreat, a way of refusing to back down?
He clearly saw the message, but didn't reply. Why?
In my calm mind, a multitude of complex and intertwined speculations suddenly arose. My anxiety intensified, my heart pounded wildly, and even back in bed, I couldn't calm down.
I couldn't sleep all night, and I was stiff as a corpse.
Until the early hours of the morning, the dark phone screen suddenly lit up—Lai Si was his pinned and specially followed contact, the only message that could wake up the screen.
Feeling inexplicably anxious, Yuan Ying opened her phone.
Lai Si: Those things are not important.
Lai Si: Would you like to become my apprentice?
The cave was broadcasting silently.
[Dedication Points +10]
