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 pulled a Map Boss to frame them.
"Someone accused me of pulling a Map Boss to frame them? It must be Baby520 and her teammates. They're so shameless. Alright, I just need to tell everyone the truth. Do they think that I'll fear them?"
With this in mind, Zheng Xiaoguang sent her female doctor Flowing Light back to the base of the Matchless. She used her gang contribution, which she had accumulated by gaining levels during the past two days, to redeem healing and some protective gang skills. After that, she greeted Blooming Pear Tree and said that she would take a trip to the League of Strong Families and come back after a while.
Game Message: Level 100 Floating Cloud Island Disciple Bluegreen-Clad invites you to join his big family "League of Strong Families" Please choose whether to accept his invitation: Yes/No.
Zheng Xiaoguang clicked "Yes".
[Gang] Flowing Light has received gang boss Bluegreen-Clad's invitation to join the gang.
Zheng Xiaoguang thought that she would be greeted with lots of criticism from members of the League of Strong Families after she joined them, but actually, she was greeted by an awkward silence. In the end, she had to greet them first embarrassedly.
[Gang] Flowing Light: Hi~everyone. I'm Flowing Light.
Some gang members greeted her cordially and said welcome to her, some started to call her gang boss's wife, and then some started to complain.
[Gang] Little Girl: Hmph, you pulled a Map Boss to frame our gang members. How dare you come here?
"Well, let me see what you're going to say," Zheng Xiaoguang thought peacefully.
Flowing Light: Oh? I'm sorry. I don't think I know you. Did you see me pull a Map Boss to frame someone? Or, did you just hear this from someone else? [Smile]
Little Girl: I saw it! I teamed up with Venus and gained levels at a level 90 region. When everything was going smoothly for us, you pulled a Map Boss to frame our team because you hate our teammate Baby520. All of us got slain there.
Flowing Light: So did you see me pull that Map Boss all the way to your team?
Little Girl: No. But you deliberately pulled that Map Boss all the way to Baby when she was busying pulling monsters around. You kept snatching monsters from Baby's hands, and time was pressing for us. Otherwise, she would've never accidentally pulled that Map Boss. You think that your husband is our gang boss, so you can do anything you want to us. You robbed Baby of her monsters and framed us just to get back at Baby!
Flowing Light: I can't agree with you. Firstly, you never saw with your own eyes that it was me who pulled a Map Boss to frame your team. Your team was actually slain by a Map Boss pulled by Baby520. Secondly and more importantly, you said that I snatched monsters from Baby's hands and pulled a Map Boss all the way to her because I wanted to get back at her. If this was true, then it was just between Baby and me. Why did you say that I framed your team?
Venus Will Cry: [Touch Head] Little Girl, I told you not to say anything about it. Flowing Light was once killed by Baby. It's natural that she wants to get back at Baby. She robbed Baby of her monsters and pulled a Map Boss to frame her. You think it's wrong, but she did it for a reason. It's forgivable. Besides, she didn't have a reason to give the other members of our team a hard time. We were slain by that Map Boss because our equipment was not good enough and also because of me. I'm the doctor of the team and I died too early.
Zheng Xiaoguang frowned slightly and thought, "This Venus Will Cry seems to be comforting Little Girl, but what she said seems to mean something else." Just as she expected, Little Girl got even more furious.
Little Girl: Venus, how can I blame you for this?! I knew that Bady has offended her, but gang boss has already killed Baby once for her. Baby promised that she would never kill her in the future. How can she be so bossy? Baby was already kicked out of our gang. Does she think that it's not enough and still want to stop her from gaining levels? It's just a game. How can she be so mean? Hmph, Flowing Light from the Matchless, ask gang boss to kick me out if you dare. I'm not afraid of you! I'll go to the Public Chat channel to expose you later!
"Wait a minute, it's not my decision to kick Baby520 out of the gang. Your gang boss did that. I was indeed impressed by him back then, but how can you blame me for that? Well, I was the cause, Little Girl is not all wrong to blame me for that," thought Zheng Xiaoguang.
Flowing Light: Sister Little Girl, I really appreciate your loyalty to your teammates, but I can't stand watching you being used by others. In fact, it was not me robbing Baby of her monsters. It was her robbing me of my monsters. Because of that, she pulled that Map Boss I accidentally irritated. I don't know why she lied to such a loyal friend like you. I think you'd better not make friend with liars.
Zheng Xiaoguang's words sparked a heated discussion in the chat group of the League of Strong Families.
Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: I'm totally confused. Is there some sort of misunderstanding?
Nine-Tailed Red Fox: I'm just a melon-eating on-looker, who don't know what's really going on, just a passer-by~
Little Girl: Stop deceiving peopling with fair words. Baby never lies to me. You're the one who's lying to us all!
Flowing Light: You didn't see me frame you guys. How can you be so sure?
Venus Will Cry: Flowing Light, we didn't see you frame us, but Baby is our good friend. She never lies to us. I know she has offended you and refused to apologize to you before. She's just a little stubborn. I hereby apologize to you on her behalf. Now you're our gang boss' wife. Please forgive Baby and let her off. We'll appreciate your generosity.
"Whew, do you want to make me reconcile with you guys and admit that I did frame you? If I do what you say, no one will think that I'm really generous," thought Zheng Xiaoguang.
Venus' words weakened the gang members' confidence in Flowing Light.
Flowing Light: [Smile] Sigh, what can I do? I take this really seriously. As you don't believe my words, I can show you some screenshots I took at that time. Do you have a QQ group? Can anyone tell me your gang's QQ group number? I'll send them to you.
Li Lei: 82765****, you apply to join us now. I'll add you in.
Flowing Light: Thanks. I'll apply to join you right now.
Zheng Xiaoguang swiftly switched to her QQ and opened the group-search window. When she was entering the QQ group number into the search box, Little Girl, who had remained silent all this while, spoke again.
Little Girl: Hmph, do you think that you're the only one who took screenshots at that time? I took screenshots too. We continued to gain levels after gang boss' battle against Sared Temple, and this Flowing Light came to our region to pull monsters again. I had all the screenshots. Let's see how you can deny.
Note:
①Take a Trip: When a player of a gang takes a trip to another gang, he or she quits his or her own gang to join another gang for a few days. After chatting with the members of the other gang and learning some skills from them, the player will return to his or her own gang.
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
That night, Zheng Xiaoguang chatted with Bluegreen-Clad for a long time. Somehow, she felt much more comfortable around Bluegreen-Clad than she did around Tong Xiangyang. She felt really awkward to talk to Tong Xiangyang during the dinner, but felt so free to talk to Bluegreen-Clad. She was not sure whether she perceived Bluegreen-Clad as just her husband in the game or as a good friend in her life. When Zheng Xiaoguang went to sleep, Bluegreen-Clad looked at the clock. It was about 9 p.m. He thought that it was early. Thus he logged into Zheng Xiaoguang's game account "Flowing Light" to play the game. In fact, he had met Flowing Light in the game a long time ago, when he had played the game using his friend's account "Never Deeply Attached". It was about two weeks after the opening of Watery South. Back then, Bluegreen-Clad and Never Deeply Attached liked to gain levels together at night and download the instance data the next day. One
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
