Chapter 22: Have you not woken up yet?

Chapter 21 - Have you not woken up yet?

Jing Huan glanced a few more times at his new ring. This ring had good attributes and could be casually sold for a good price, so it could be considered a huge gift.

He didn’t like taking other people’s things for nothing, and he had intended to pay for it, but when he thought about it again — what was his purpose for playing this game?

Wasn’t it for the sake of deceiving Yearning For?

It wasn’t enough to just cheat his feelings, he wanted to cheat him of his wealth too! He wanted this slag guy to lose both his women and his money! Regret it for life! And never dare to screw around with young girls online ever again!

With that in mind, he didn’t feel as guilty anymore.

He locked the ring and wore it, and a light blue lotus ring immediately appeared on his in game character; it glistened as it emitted light and looked quite nice.

This was one of the distinguishing features of NCH: all of the equipment players wore would appear on their characters as well, so as to fulfil the needs of bigshots to show off.

Jing Huan stared at his character for half a day and suddenly recalled that this account had quite a few fashionable clothes.

The biggest highlight of this account was its fashionable clothes. It had all of the limited-edition clothes of NCH, and they were all bound clothes that had been discontinued, unlike cultivation skills that could be trained at any time. This way, he could still keep the value of this account high when he sells it again next time, and this was his main reason for buying this account.

He opened his wardrobe, picked a blue, discontinued dress, and changed into it.

He looked at his character and uttered tsks as he shook his head.

What a cute, mature onee-san. Who wouldn’t want to start a passionate online relationship with her?

He casually took a screenshot of his character and sent it to his dorm chat after erasing the game ID.

Xiao Jing ya: [picture]

Lu Wenhao: …I had to check the group name several times. No, but what did you send this for?

Xiao Jing ya: Oh, saw it when I was looking through some Moments. Does it look nice?

Lu Wenhao opened the photo and glanced at it, then muttered, “Aren’t these clothes too outdated? It’s the ugliest limited edition dress…”

Lu Wenhao: Who is this?

Xiao Jing ya: What are you asking so many questions for?

Xiao Jing ya: A female goddess from when I was playing NCH. Does she look good or not?

Lu Wenhao: Graceful and slender, a fairy who descended upon the world of mortals who’s so beautiful she can cause the downfall of cities.

Jing Huan was satisfied and sent a thumbs up over.

He only cared about chatting, and his WeChat dialog box was blocking his game interface, so he didn’t realise that there were a few familiar people standing next to this character at all.

Immortal Mengmeng and the rest had passed by while doing quests. When she saw Xiao Tianjing, she immediately stopped.

The other girls in her team responded immediately as well.

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: We’re so unlucky, why do we always see her no matter what we do! Aren’t her clothes too ugly?! [pukes]

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: Hold on, look at her hand, isn’t that the Nine Brahman Lotus Flower?? Don’t tell me…

In the game, when players got high-value items during quests, the news would be broadcast to the World Channel by the system, so all the players who had been online at the time knew that Yearning For got a purple ring from doing an activity.

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: It’s still okay ba, even though it doesn’t look that nice, that dress is still a limited edition one at least.

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: Let’s go do our quests ba, we’ll run out of time if we continue delaying it.

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: What, can’t stand hearing us talk about your friend?

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: …what do you mean by that?

[Party] Immortal Mengmeng: Didn’t you just do an instance with her?

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: Yeah, there’s still that thing that happened before too, we said that we’d screw her over together, but you wimped out and let me be the bad guy by myself.

The other two guys in the party didn’t think it would be good for them to intervene in such affairs, so they immediately afk-ed and pretended that they weren’t around.

Love is For You to Eat understood now. No wonder these two had been consistently and deliberately neglecting her during this period of time. No one talked in their group chat either.

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: I just think that we shouldn’t deliberately sabotage other people’s gaming experience in uncertain circumstances.

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: Weren’t you the one who said you hated her in the beginning?

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: Yes, I do hate how she acts all coy, but she hasn’t hindered me or committed any atrocious acts, and she even saved me in the instance. I felt like I was in the wrong, so I apologised to her, is there a problem with that?

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: So you’re saying that I’m the one with a problem?

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: …that’s not what I meant.

[Party] Ji Xiaonian: Then do you think that there’s no problem for her to act all coy in front of Xianxian’s husband? She’s seducing him, she’s a mistress!

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: I think Yearning For can only be considered as Xianxian’s ex-boyfriend at most ba.

[Party] Immortal Mengmeng: Okay, have you said enough?

[Party] Immortal Mengmeng: So what you’re saying is that you’ll be standing on Xiao Tianjing’s side and not mine, right?

[Party] Love is For You to Eat: When did I ever stand on Xiao Tianjing’s side? Haven’t I always spoken well of you? When you went to the forum to post about Yearning For, I even used my account to help you scold him in dozens of posts.

[Party] Immortal Mengmeng: Then I’ll thank you for helping me in the past.

[Party] Immortal Mengmeng: But there’s something I want to make clear to you: I’ve never broken up with Yearning For, we’re just fighting. He’s not willing to coax me, so I was annoyed and wanted to use public opinion to force him, but we didn’t really end. So Xiao Tianjing is a woman who’s seducing other people’s husbands, understand?

…………

Jing Huan chatted in the group chat for a while longer and asked Gao Zixiang to save a seat for him in class tomorrow before closing his WeChat.

He glanced at the items he placed in his stall — not even one was sold. He couldn’t help but mutter, “Business isn’t doing well ah…”

He wasn’t short of money, but there was a lot of useless sundries in this account when he bought it. Although it wasn’t worth much, it was a pity to throw them away, so he would set up a stall to try and sell them when he had nothing else to do.

He was just about to close his stall and leave when he saw standing next to him, a very familiar small loli wearing a pink dress.

The loli didn’t set up a stall and didn’t move either. Jing Huan pondered for a bit, then tapped on his keyboard.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: 0.0 yi.

[Current] Love is For You to Eat: …so you were here.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Just came back, were you waiting for me? [doubtful]

[Current] Love is For You to Eat: Ai, no, I fought with my friends, so I’m just standing here in a daze.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Fighting isn’t good oh [shakes head]

…and who did I just do that for.

Looking at the expression behind that sentence of hers, Love is For You to Eat couldn’t even get angry.

[Current] Love is For You to Eat: Oh yeah, where did you get the ring on your hand from?

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Ah!

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: [shy][blinks] you meanie! Don’t you know?

[Current] Love is For You to Eat: …how much did you buy it for?

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: [shuts up] Gege gave it to me, I didn’t buy it.

Love is For You to Eat frowned and tapped on her keyboard, wanting to ask if she knew about what happened between Yearning For and Immortal Mengmeng.

But halfway through typing, she deleted her message.

Forget it. It wasn’t appropriate to talk about such things in the current channel, and she wasn’t in a good mood either right now, so she didn’t have the time to meddle in other people’s affairs.

[Current] Love is For You to Eat: Oh oh, I’ll go do quests now, let’s talk again next time.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Okay. I wish a speedy reconciliation for you and your friends oh [waves]

——

It was a new week. On the bulletin board of the men’s dormitory building, there was a new “Violation of Rules Namelist” posted. 312 was honoured to be at the top of the list, and the reason was written below: “Brought a pot into their dormitory room to have hot pot, incorrigible despite repeated admonition, truly horrible!”

The word “horrible” was enlarged and bolded, and it was easy to see just how angry the dormitory supervisor aunt was.

When Lu Hang told Xiang Huaizhi about this, the first person Xiang Huaizhi thought of was the boy he had met in the entrance of the stairwell that day.

If he remembered it correctly, the other party seemed to report his dormitory number as 312?

“Are you listening, Xiang Gege.” When Lu Hang saw that he was silent, he asked him again.

“Get lost,” Xiang Huaizhi said, “Who are you calling Gege?”

“Oh, Xiao Tianjing can call you that, but I can’t. I understand.” Lu Hang said, “Xiangxiang, let’s buy a pot and cook hot pot in our room too, how about that?”

Xiang Huaizhi, “What, you want to fight for the dormitory supervisor aunt’s heart with 312?”

“So you were listening.” Lu Hang laughed. “Those two junior brothers are pretty miserable too. Apparently they were fined, and their pot was confiscated as well. Even the hot pot base ingredients weren’t left behind.”

Confiscated again?

Xiang Huaizhi asked, “You know them?”

Lu Hang, “I do ah, but I’m not familiar with them. The people in their dorm room all play NCH, and I saw them at the previous meet and greet for the game, they’re pretty strong. But it’s a pity they’re not in the same server as us.”

Xiang Huaizhi listened to him prattle on as he started the game. He had just entered the world of NCH when the friend message in the lower right corner of his screen began flashing.

It wasn’t a message that had been left behind, the other party was waiting for him to go online.

[Friend] Immortal Mengmeng: Xiang Ge, did you give Xiao Tianjing her ring?

[Friend] Yearning For: Un.

“No wait, why is she still looking for you? And she’s even calling you Ge…” Lu Hang was halfway through talking when he paused. “Hold on, you gave that purple equipment to Xiao Tianjing? Fuck, you’re so generous ah Xiangxiang! Are you interested in Xiao Tianjing?”

Xiang Huaizhi, “No.”

“I don’t believe you.” Lu Hang said, “Who would give other people money for no reason?”

“There’s no use for me to hold onto it.”

“But you can sell it for money ah. If you had just casually put it up in the marketplace, it would’ve definitely been sold within a few minutes.”

XIang Huaizhi’s tone was natural, “It’s not much money, too lazy to put it up, and withdrawing funds is too troublesome.”

“Yes, moving your finger to input your bank card number and withdrawal password can tire an old man like you to death.” Lu Hang said, “Quick, she replied, look at what she said.”

[Friend] Immortal Mengmeng: We haven’t made things clear between us yet, so it’s not very appropriate for you to mess around with other people ba? [aggrieved]

[Friend] Yearning For: We’ve already made everything very clear.

[Friend] Immortal Mengmeng: …okay. You said that you weren’t the one playing your account, I believe that. But you also said that you’re willing to compensate me, right?

“What? Compensate her? What does this have to do with you?” Lu Hang was baffled.

“It was something that happened on my account after all.” Xiang Huaizhi said lightly.

[Friend] Yearning For: Un, what is it.

The other side replied extremely quickly, as if she had thought of it long ago and didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

[Friend] Immortal Mengmeng: Let’s get married.

Xiang Huaizhi slowly typed a ?

[Friend] Yearning For: Have you not woken up yet?
