Baby520 remained invisible and followed Flowing Light for about 10 minutes to get to know her regular route. After she found out that Flowing Light always traveled back and forth between the upper-right corner and the center of the map, she stopped following her and chose to stay at a spot in the middle of her regular route, waiting to rob her of her monsters.
When she saw Flowing Light running toward her with a herd of monsters again, she mocked in her heart, "Idiot." She clicked her Area Effect skill and robbed Flowing Light of her monsters again. To her surprise, she saw a Map Boss① running and making threatening gestures among the monsters. Receiving one blow from the Map Boss cost one-fifth of her blood. The other little monsters were not that powerful. However, there were a lot of them, and many of them also succeeded in hurting her.
Seeing Baby520 being chased around the map by the Map Boss, Zheng Xiaoguang felt satisfied. She had taken many red pills and wedding candies and kept refilling blood for herself just to pull this Map Boss all the way here for Baby520. She did this at the risk of her life.
Fortunately, she succeeded and got rid of Baby 520. Now she could ride her white phoenix to pull monsters for her team again.
After getting rid of Baby520, Flowing Light and her teammates gained experience faster than before. Slightly Defected Moon advised the team to go to unlock level 85 Purple Outfits to equip all the team members when they reached level 90. Now the team members' outfits were so different. Some of them were quite good and the others were not so good. Slightly Defected Moon said that if they continued like this, it would be hard for them to gain levels after reaching level 90.
Slightly Defected Moon said that it was quite efficient to gain levels together with them. She promised that if the team promised to unlock enough Purple Outfits for every one of the team, she would join them as a regular member. She also said that if the team did not want those Purple Outfits now, she would leave and team up with other players.
"She is right. It's not enough to have only levels in this game. We need good equipment. With this in mind," Zheng Xiaoguang readily accepted Moon's advice and did not give the other three team members any chance to speak.
When everything was going smoothly for Zheng Xiaoguang, Blooming Pear Tree sent her a message.
[Private Chat] Blooming Pear Tree: Sis, come to level 100 region Mount Mangshan. Your husband and I are surrounded and beat up by the Sacred Temple members here. You join my team and come here to save us.
"What?" Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised.
Despite that, she immediately told her teammates that she would be away for a while. Slightly Defected Moon promised to take the team to unlock Purple Outfits first and wait for her to come back. Zheng Xiaoguang thanked Slightly Defected Moon and then quitted the team to team up with Blooming Pear Tree.
The moment she entered Blooming Pear Tree's team, she saw that faces of Blooming Pear Tree and Bluegreen-Clad had already turned gray. "What? They even killed my husband." Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised. She immediately pulled Blooming Pear Tree up and refilled his blood. Right at that moment, an assassin came at her, she clicked a Flying Talisman and flew to a random place on the map.
After that, she immediately flew back to Bluegreen-Clad with the help of the couple transfer. When she arrived, she saw many members of the League of Strong Families there. They were outnumbered by the Sacred Temple members, but they were very brave. She pulled Bluegreen-Clad up and clicked on her healing skill heavily, trying to refill blood for him. Nevertheless, her character Flowing Light just stood still.
⊙﹏⊙ The internet was down...
In her eyes, the three most painful things in this world were suddenly realizing that there was no toilet paper left after taking a dump, failing to find any flavoring powder in an instant noodle bowl and finding out that the Internet was down when playing an online game.
"I'm finished this time", Zheng Xiaoguang thought and felt that she was about to spout three liters of blood.
When she was about to bury her face in her pillow, her cellphone rang. She grabbed her cellphone without looking at it and thus answered the call without knowing who was calling.
"Hello..." she said sadly.
"Honey." It was a strange but attractive male voice.
Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiaoguang shivered with excitement and sprang out her bed, while saying, "Uhm...?"
She checked the strange number on her cellphone and continued, "Is that Bluegreen-Clad? Why do you have my number?"
"Yes, this is Bluegreen-Clad. I asked your big brother to give me your number," Bluegreen-Clad chuckled and said, "It was quite a dangerous situation just now. Why did you come?"
"Oh my gosh, Bluegreen-Clad's voice is incredibly attractive. He sounds like a young gentleman instead of a weird old man." With this in mind, Zheng Xiaoguang completely forgot her complaint about Blooming Pear Tree, who had given her number to another man without telling her in advance. "I had to go to help you. My big brother asked me for help. By the way, how are you guys doing right now?" asked Zheng Xiaoguang.
"We've won the battle and driven those Sacred Temple members away. Honey, you're still fragile. You'd better not come to join a battle like this," replied Bluegreen-Clad. He had just seen her being killed a Sacred Temple warrior after refilling blood for him. He flared up upon seeing that and hunted the Sacred Temple warrior down until the warrior logged off.
Zheng Xiaoguang thought that the god-like player must have underestimated her and said, "My Internet was down just now. Rest assured, I'm very skillful, although I'm still at level 80. At least, I'm able to escape from dangers by myself."
Bluegreen-Clad chuckled and said, "Uhm."
"It looks like he doesn't believe me," Zheng Xiaoguang thought and emphasized again, "Believe me!" "Wait for me to gain some levels first. When I'm at a high enough level, we can PK."
"Okay," Bluegreen-Clad replied. He sounded gentle and nice.
Thinking about gaining levels, Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but sigh, "Alas, I found a great teammate today. If my Internet was alright, I would be able to reach level 90 after playing for a whole night. My teammates were still waiting for me, but I can't even log into my account now."
"Are Slightly Defected Moon and the other teammates still waiting for me to gain levels together? They've gone to unlock level 85 Purple Outfits. Is everything going smoothly for them now? Have they unlocked anything purple for a doctor? If they have, it'll be tragic for me. In the tomb copy, all the equipment unlocked there will be bound on acquire. I'll have to use a Unbinding Water, which is the most expensive thing in the shop, to unbind the equipment from the teammate. Ahaaaaa, my level 85 Purple Outfit. I don't have anything purple."
"What a bad internet connection here", Zheng Xiaoguang sighed secretly and made up her mind that she would call to complain later.
"Girls can't play too late," Bluegreen-Clad said in a caring tone. "Give me your account number and password. I'll log into your account tonight and explain everything to your teammates. Have a good rest today. Go to sleep."
Zheng Xiaoguang blinked her eyes, She did get sore eyes after staring at the screen for such a long time. Now that the Internet was down and she could not play the game, she could only go to bed earlier.
"Wait... Bluegreen- Clad," said Zheng Xiaoguang.
"Huh?" said Bluegreen-Clad.
"Did anyone tell you that you have a nice voice?"
"Yes, probably."
"Then did anyone tell you that I'm a huge fan of attractive voices?"
Note:
①Map Boss: For each hour, each region where players gain levels has only one Map Boss. Monsters at level 25+ regions will initiatively come at players, but Map Boss will never initiatively attack players. By slaying a Map Boss, a player can unlock a piece of equipment which is five levels below the level of the Map Boss (The best equipment a player can get after slaying a Map Boss is a piece of blue equipment).
②Level 85 Purple Outfits: Colors indicate the levels of equipment in Shiny Sky: White Equipment<Green Equipment<Blue Equipment<Purple Equipment<Golden Equipment. A player can unlock six different kinds of Level 85 Purple Outfit parts (hats, necklaces, coats, pants, belts, and boots) by slaying six different kinds of enemies in a level 85 tomb instance. These parts may be suitable for different professions. A player can seldom get a Golden Outfit part by slaying enemies. Most of the time, a player can only get a Golden Outfit part by upgrading his or her own Purple Outfit part. As there is no instance for players to unlock Level 105 Purple Outfits, Level 85 Purple Outfits are the best outfits in this zone now. Once a player gets a complete Purple Outfit, these pieces of purple equipment will get new features. The game does not require a player to reach a certain level before he or she starts to upgrade his or her Purple and Golden Outfits.
In Zheng Xiaoguang's eyes, there were many different kinds of annoying people in the world, such as those players who kept killing other players at PVP regions every day, those who snatched monsters from the others' hands, account stealers, etc. The people she hated most were those who did a bad thing and wanted to let some others hold the bag. Unfortunately, she met them in the game. The Internet had been down for a whole day, and Zheng Xiaoguang did not like an Internet Cafe. Given this, she could only log into her game account at night. When she was pleasantly surprised to see that Bluegreen-Clad had gained levels for her last night and her account was level 90 now, she received a message from him. [Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: Honey, withdraw from the Matchless and join the League of Strong Families. [Private Chat] Flowing Light: Ah, why? [Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: Some members of the League of Strong Families said that you deliberately pu
Venus Will Cry: I'm sorry, Flowing Light. I kept persuading Little Girl to delete those screenshots, but she refused to do so when she saw that you wanted to send some screenshots to us. You're our gang boss' wife and a member of our big family now. We'd better not make a fuss about such a trifle. After all, the League of Strong Families and the Matchless are allies now. Even if you admit that you did frame us, we won't do anything to you. Why do you have to... "Are you saying that you're trying to protect my reputation and I'm the one who refuses to accept your kind offer?" Zheng Xiaoguang smirked upon seeing the meaningful ellipsis from Venus Will Cry. The gang members started to discuss again. Vine Flower: Looks like someone has just rejected a reputation-saving offer. Wind Waves: Em, a green tea bitch? Big Fish Eats Small Fish: My dear, look. What a complicated story. Small Fish Eats Small Shrimp: My dear husband, we just need
Flowing Light became level 90 overnight. This was because Bluegreen-Clad had used Ghost Recruiting Orders to gain levels for her last night after the conflict with Venus' team. After knowing what Bluegreen-Clad had done last night, Zheng Xiaoguang explicitly expressed her envy toward this rich guy and started to treat him as a true friend. As such, she decided to tell him the whole truth. She told him that she did deliberately pull a Map Boss to frame Baby520 as she just wanted to get back at this player who kept harassing her. She knew that she was not just a simple and pure girl and believed that Bluegreen-Clad had the right to know this. She just wanted to be honest with him instead of pretending to be a nice person in front of him. After knowing the whole truth, Bluegreen-Clad said, "I think what you did is right. If you always reconcile with bullies to avoid conflicts, I'll be truly worried. If you have some trouble in the future, you can just tell me.
Bluegreen-Clad's teammates felt really awkward upon seeing those two Team messages. Son of Heaven had already reached level 99, but he stills lacked a level 85 purple necklace. He was quite disappointed that he failed to unlock a necklace for himself again. Today, his team unlocked a purple necklace for a doctor, a purple hat and a pair of purple boots for a warrior and a pair of purple pants for a magician. He sent a message to his fellow gang members, inviting them to join his team to pick equipment. Nevertheless, now there were two doctors in his team, he could not decide whom he was going to give this purple necklace to. According to the general rules, he should give it to Flowing Light, as she came into his team earlier than Venus Will Cry, but he knew Venus Will Cry for a much longer time and personally he also wanted to give it to Venus. After that, he thought of his friend Bluegreen-Clad. As they had worked together to unlock this necklace, he thought th
Much to Zheng Xiaoguang's disappointment, her team unlocked many purple things today, but none of them is a doctor necklace. Zheng Xiaoguang and her teammates played the copy several times and unlocked necklaces for everyone, except for herself. Now her character Flowing Light was dressed all in purple. The only purple thing she lacked was a necklace. She was really upset now and wished that she could slap the game across the face with a slipper. "Please let us have a rest, my lady," Soft-heartedness is a Disease pleaded piteously. Even with the help of a wet nurse, he still felt that he had enough of this game now. "Dumb*ss Flowing Light, let's go to gain levels now," Cool Names Taken by Dogs added. "No, I have to unlock a necklace for myself today!" Zheng Xiaoguang said affirmatively. A moment ago, she had seen Venus Will Cry show off her purple necklace in the chat group of the gang and court envy by telling
Game Message: Congratulations to player Bluegreen-Clad. A Spiritual Deer Necklace has just been forged into the eight-star level. Game Message: Congratulations to player Bluegreen-Clad. A Magic Stone+8 has just been added to an eight-star Spiritual Deer Necklace. [Public Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: [Equipment: Spiritual Deer Necklace] My dear Flowing Light, come here to take your level 85 purple necklace. This message sparked a heated discussion on the Public Chat channel. [Public Chat] Han Meimei: Wow, Bluegreen-Clad is indeed a god-like player. It's really great to be his wife. [Public Chat] Smily Beauty: No wonder so many girls want to marry a god-like player. It's awesome to have such a player to take care of you. [Public Chat] Li Lei: @Han Meimei, dear, watch out. Your saliva is about to fall from your mouth. [Public Chat] Big Shrimp Has Nothing to Eat: Sigh, all the girls on this Public Chat channel like a god-like player. I'm destine
Thinking about Bluegreen-Clad's words "I'll give you the best," Zheng Xiaoguang flushed with gratification, but then she mocked herself in her heart, "Bah! That's nonsense. I'm about to turn 26. At my age, I should not behave like a young girl and feel so good just because someone said some sweet words to me in a game on the weekend." "Nowadays, young boys really have high EQ. Maybe that Bluegreen-Clad is just a 17 or 18-year-old boy. I can't be attracted to him because of some sweet words." "Calm down~ Calm down. I'm mature now. I should keep my cool." "Xiaoguang, what're you doing here in the ladies' room?" Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind. Zheng Xiaoguang embarrassedly turned her head to look back. When she saw that it was her good friend Yang Sisi, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing, I just stood here in a trance just now." Yang Sisi rolled her eyes and s
"What do I think about those young people who love to play games? Well, unfortunately, I happen to be one of them. I think I can only remain calmly seated and quietly look at you," thought Zheng Xiaoguang. The next moment, she thought of the date tips that Yang Sisi had given her before and said solemnly, "Well, I think it's wrong for them to waste their time on video games. They should focus on their studies or their careers. In my eyes, these young people are throwing their lives away. I'll never become one of them!" While saying this, she could not help but sigh secretly, "Oh, this is so ridiculous. I'm definitely one of them. Why do I have to belittle myself like that?" Upon hearing Zheng Xiaoguang's reply, Tong Xiangyang smiled slightly without saying a word. After that, they spent the rest of their dinner time in silence. After the dinner, Tong Xiangyang politely asked Zheng Xiaoguang for her contact information
My name was Lu Mingyue. As you all know, I had a younger brother named Lu Mingxuan. He was 28 years old and had just got married recently. As for me, I thought it would be difficult to get married this year. Of course, I needed to declare one thing—I was not single, at least in the eyes of my relatives and friends. Because when I was very young, I was engaged with a boy named Gu Hang. At the moment, I was "negotiating" with my fiance's mistress. "Miss Ge Hui, right?" I looked at the girl in front of me who looked only in her early twenties. She was good-looking and had a good figure. It was no wonder that Gu Hang liked her. The girl didn't know who I was, so she asked with some doubts, "I am Ge Hui. Who are you?" I answered lightly, "I am Lu Mingyue, Gu Hang's fiancee." "What? You are Gu Hang's..." Ge Hui looked at me in shock as if she had heard some explosive news. This
My name was Su Han, and I was... 30 years old this year. I still hadn't found anyone to marry. Yes, I hadn't found one. It's not that I had never found one. Once I met a girl named Zheng Xiaoguang in an online game called Flying Deity. She was lovely and kind. I liked her very much. Later, she became my girlfriend and the target I first thought of getting married with. However, we finally broke up under the opposition of our family because of mundane issues, and because she felt extremely insecure... In short, although I felt sorry about her, I do not regret the choice of parting. Especially knowing that she was married, my heart was completely calm. The luck that brought us together was not strong enough I guess. Many people and things in this world were just like this. Just like my uncle's cousin. Just like me. In the end, we will all compromise with our family and marry a local girl whom our family agrees with,
In the past, Zheng Xiaoguang had considered pregnancy the most boring thing in the game. When she was pregnant in the game, she had nothing to do except for sitting on the floor. When she got pregnant in real life, she finally understood what a real "tragedy" was like. The baby's father could continue to work, work overtime and even go out to socialize freely, but she had to stay at home every day to nurture the baby! For the health of the baby, she was required to stop playing with her cellphone and her computer. She was even not allowed to watch TV for a long time. It was hard for a young person like her to overcome the addiction to electronics, not to mention the fact that she was addicted to online games. She had not played the games for a long time by far. Even she herself could hardly believe that. Her mother-in-law took good care of her and came here to chat with her whenever she had time. Even if she did n
A month later, Bluegreen-Clad's sister Lu Mingyue came to the wedding of Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad. This tall and pretty girl still wore her brown hair long and wavy. She spoke calmly to Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad. "Congratulations." "Thank you, sister." Zheng Xiaoguang expressed her gratitude politely. Lu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you told your wife who I am, Mingxuan?" Bluegreen-Clad said smilingly, "She's Slightly Defected Moon, Xiaoguang. She spoke well of our relationship in front of my parents to help us getting their approval." Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised and thought,"Oh~ No wonder Bluegreen-Clad's mother treated me so nicely when we first met." She felt grateful and said, "Thank you. It's very kind of you, sister." Lu Mingyue patted Zheng Xiaoguang on the shoulder in a cool way and said, "If you want to thank me, stop spreading rumors abo
In the evening, Zheng Xiaoguang logged onto the game and felt awkward upon thinking of Yang Sisi's words. "What else can you do? Go to plead with your Bluegreen-Clad to marry you as soon as possible." She thought embarrassedly, "How can I propose to a guy? That will kill me~" A few minutes later, Bluegreen-Clad sent her a team invitation. She joined the team and remained silent. Bluegreen-Clad: Is there anything wrong? Flowing Light: No, nothing~ Bluegreen-Clad: Have you told your parents that my parents and l will go to R City to visit your family? Flowing Light: Oh, I forgot it! I'll tell them tomorrow. Bluegreen-Clad: Mm-hmm. After that, when Bluegreen-Clad took her to play an instance, she still seemed somewhat absent-minded. Bluegreen-Clad was considerate and did not ask her anything. As Li Lei and Han Meimei went out on a date, they were not online toni
After visiting Bluegreen-Clad's parents and spending the rest of the National Day holiday with Bluegreen-Clad, Zheng Xiaoguang returned to R City. To her surprise, Chen Bishi's attitude towards her suddenly changed. She did not ask Zheng Xiaoguang to help her with her work and even warmly invited Zheng Xiaoguang to watch a movie together with her after work. "This is a new movie. I heard that it's amazing and made lots of efforts to get these two tickets." Chen Bishi said while holding two movie tickets which were probably bought by one of her suitors. Since having dinner together with her days ago, Zheng Xiaoguang had been stunned by her bad ideas. As such, she refused her without much thinking. "I'm sorry. I have something important to do tonight." "What's it? Are you going to date your boyfriend tonight?" Chen Bishi seemed to have completely failed to detect the coldness in Zheng Xiaoguang's words. "Well, let me give you a t
Upon hearing the employees' compliments, Zheng Xiaoguang felt somewhat awkward. She did this just because she wanted her man to have lunch on time. Bluegreen-Clad finished his work and took Zheng Xiaoguang and his mother to a restaurant nearby. It was a western restaurant and served food very quickly. After the lunch, when Zheng Xiaoguang thought that Bluegreen-Clad would have to go back to work, he said that he would go home together with her. "Aren't you very busy now?" She asked confusedly. Bluegreen-Clad patted her head and said, "I've finished my parts. I can spend some quality time with you this afternoon." As such, they went back home together. Bluegreen-Clad's mother insisted on giving them some time to stay together and left. After her departure, there were only Bluegreen-Clad and Zheng Xiaoguang in the house. When Zheng Xiaoguang, who had many questions to ask Bluegreen-Clad, was about to speak, Bluegree
Zheng Xiaoguang chatted gleefully with Bluegreen-Clad and his mother until evening. Bluegreen-Clad's father finally came back. Different from his lively wife, he looked calm and steady. Upon noticing his wife's satisfaction with Zheng Xiaoguang, he said to Bluegreen-Clad, "You're grown-ups now. I respect your decision. But I have to tell you. As a man, you should shoulder your responsibilities when you decide to marry a girl." Bluegreen-Clad replied smilingly, "I see." "I heard that your company is working on a new program. You'd better not spend the whole holiday with your girlfriend. You should go to your company when you have time to make sure that everything goes smoothly," said his father. Bluegreen-Clad nodded and said, "I'm going to go back to my company tomorrow." As a man who ran his own business, he could not completely relax down during the 7-day holiday After having lunch together, Bluegr
On her second day in A City, she woke up at 8:00 am in the morning. To her surprise, she did not see Bluegreen-Clad beside her. She got up and went to wash up in a daze. She looked around and found out that Bluegreen-Clad was not at home. She picked up her cellphone and called him. Bluegreen-Clad received the call immediately. "Where are you?" she asked while wondering, "Didn't he say that we're going to meet his parents today?" "I've come out to buy some breakfast food for you. I'll be back soon. Just wait for me at home," replied Bluegreen-Clad. "Okay," Zheng Xiaoguang said and then hung up the phone. Only five minutes later, she heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately stood up and went to open the door. To her surprise, she saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door with some fresh vegetables and fruit in hand. She seemed to be around 40 years old and was dressed in simple clothes. U
