Part 34: The Truth

Wei Wei looks at him, unable to shift her gaze, and suddenly feels a bit of uneasiness.

She doesn’t like this at all. It’s as if he has become an object for fighting back and showing off; and also in a circumstance that he isn’t even aware of.

Er Xi observes her expression and says nervously, “Wei Wei, you’re not backing out last minute now, are you?!”

What do you mean backing out last minute? When did she ever say she wanted to fight?!

Wei Wei glares at her while feeling depressed inside. They’re supposed to be going out for dinner, but with this going on, a simple dinner gathering has become complicated.

Forget it. She’ll just pretend that those people are not there. They just happen to be eating at the same restaurant. With that in mind, Wei Wei reminds her roommates, “You guys better focus on eating and talk less.”

She realizes that that isn’t right since French cuisine is expensive, so she quickly adds, “Don’t eat too much either!”

Part 31: Senior Beauty

[System Bot]: “StormGoddessNiNi, ASmileNaiHe, ReedWeiWei, RealWaterIsScentless, and LittleRainYaoYao root out the strong to help the weak by beheading the monsters and eliminating the demons. They have defeated the Underworld Demoness and saved the people. Their skills are matchless and amaze the world.

[World]:

[CaptainMo]: “Am I seeing things?”

[SCPanda]: “Oh my God, there’s a bug in the system!”

[YouYou…(leisurely)]: “I’ve been playing for so long, and this is the first time that I know of that the game allows repeats of the same name.”

[NotWearingUndiesIsVeryRefreshing]: “Holy! Old man here was only gone to wash his underpants, and he can’t even keep up with the times now after returning.”

[SCPanda]: “Shocking! Brother Refreshing, you actually have underpants?!”

[NotWearingUndiesIsVeryRefreshing]: “……”

[MatchlesslyDumbSword]: “Honey (wife), let’s get back together. These people are even fighting a boss together now. Do we have any reason to not be together anymore?! Let’s reconcile, let’s reconcile. Honey (wife), I love you!”

[OnTheSoutheastBranch (Hung self on tree branch in the southeast)]: “The two of you…please take the flirting to a private room…so that those watching will not be embarrassed.”

Part 30: The Demeanor of an Expert

StormGoddessNiNi wants to die when adding the party.

After setting it up, StormGoddessNiNi suddenly feels a surge of HP (energy) just from looking at the list of IDs in her party.

Just like the old saying: when one NiNi is struck by lightning, tens of thousands of NiNi’s will stand under the sound of thunder and lightning! It’s all for the sake of gossip! Fists up!

StormGoddessNiNi stares at her computer screen with eyes burning at a million watts. Her left hand presses the print screen button firmly as she thinks inside her head: come! Let’s see some sparks fly!

Unfortunately, as the clock ticks by, the “sparks” that she hopes for never comes.

Part 27: I Won’t Be Able To Stand It

“Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes 2”?

This familiar yet strange title makes Wei Wei turn her gaze from the computer to Xiao Nai. She blurts out, “‘Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes’ is coming out with version 2?!”

How come she has never heard about this news? Furthermore, she even gets to see the character designs of “Dream Voyage 2” on the Great Master’s computer. What does this mean?

“The game is being made by you?” Wei Wei asks without thinking, but quickly rules it out, “That can’t be. I remember ‘Dream Voyage’ is from Feng Teng (Soaring Wind).”

“‘Dream Voyage’ is indeed from Feng Teng, but ‘Dream Voyage 2’ will be a collaboration between us and Feng Teng.”

His expression and voice are composed, as if he isn’t disclosing something groundbreaking. Wei Wei is stunned for a minute before she could digest the news, “I don’t think I ever heard about a ‘Dream Voyage 2’ though.”

“It has not yet been announced to the public.” Read more

Part 26: We’re Family

It’s night time, and Wei Wei is twisting and turning on her small wooden bed.

Her roommates are already asleep after the Bedside Conference. Only she is having trouble sleeping, but then again, maybe it’s normal for her to not be able to sleep after going through such a day.

She turns her body once more; unable to sleep. Wei Wei sits up while holding her blanket. She rests her chin on her knees and sighs. She doesn’t feel worried or depressed, but she can only sigh to express all the different emotions bursting inside her.

The stuffiness in her heart seems to subside a bit after letting out a breath.

Oh, Xiao Nai.

His image floats into her head; whether he’s quiet or lively, or talking or smiling. Therefore, the feeling returns despite she has just let out a sigh.

Part 23: Impossible to be a Couple

The setting sun shines on him, giving him a surreal glow. Wei Wei is mesmerized just from looking at his dark eyebrows. After a long while, complicated feelings start to surge in her heart; a feeling of her heart stopping, and a feeling of inconsolable grief and indignation.

When, when have they been in that kind of a relationship?! Although she really wants to be in a relationship with him, this is definitely not the way to start……

But then again, this was her initial motive to meet the Great Master. It’s just that now that the Great Master has spoken in the leveled-up version, wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage for rejecting him?

Actually, she’ll be in a disadvantage whether she rejects him or accepts him. What is going on?…..

Wei Wei is becoming more and more confused with her logic. Seeing how her thought process is stuck in a loop, Wei Wei quickly shouts to herself——

Stop!

Part 21: I Was Waiting For You

Xiao Ling believes that life is full of surprises.

For example, on the night before the level 6 exam (College English Test), Wei Wei has actually dragged her out to go shopping.

Alright, although Wei Wei says this is to let herself relax from all the studying before the exam, there’s still no need to get all excited and rush to the clothing stores near the school……

Er Xi and Si Si are also amazed by this.

They head back to the dorm room after dinner just to find out that both Xiao Ling and Wei Wei are not there. Their books are still on the table, so they clearly haven’t gone to self-study. Er Xi decides to send Xiao Ling a text message out of curiosity.

Xiao Ling quickly replies—–accompanying Wei Wei to buy clothes.

Er Xi is flabbergasted. She asks which store they’re at and pulls Si Si with her to go see. Once they arrive and push open the door, Wei Wei just happens to be walking out of the fitting room.

Er Xi and Si Si are frozen at the entrance.

Part 20: I Know

For all 20 years of Wei Wei’s life, it’s the first time she realizes that she is an alien – –

An alien from the turtle planet to add to it.

A turtian is someone who ducks and turns away when they are provoked; the bottom line is: another two days have passed, and she still hasn’t logged into the game!!!!!

……

She must have been overtaken by the “abashed” planet aliens = =

Sigh~~~

Based on the facts, she already understands her feelings, and what she should do next is to rush to the game and try all obvious and subtle methods to win over the Great Master’s heart. After all, she and the Great Master are both not married yet, so there isn’t anything to worry about~~ (Wei Wei knows that the Great Master is single from a long time ago because for one, YuGong and the others tease him by calling him ten thousand years bachelor, and secondly, Wei Wei has asked him before marrying him last time. She didn’t have any motives for asking him at the time; it was more for the sake of morality. Even though it’s a game, she doesn’t want someone’s girlfriend or fiancee to have any issues with it.”

But she just won’t go online. Instead, she’s doing weird things like replaying the Great Master’s dialogue in the video over and over again……

Wei Wei is also surprised by her own strange behaviour, but she’s rather carefree and quickly thinks of an excuse for herself—–It’s her first time falling in love, so it’s normal to act strange. It’ll be stranger if she doesn’t.

>_<

Therefore, she continues to be weird. She promises herself every morning that she will definitely go online, but she consoles herself at night saying that she will go online tomorrow……

After swaying back and forth for two days, she can’t stand it anymore and has finally made up her mind!

Saturday!

After finishing her level 6th exam on Saturday, she will go online immediately!

Part 19: Realization

Wei Wei isn’t worried since the Great Master has never come late, but it’s also normal for him to be a few minutes behind. The clock continues ticking; 7:45pm comes before she knows it. Wei Wei is starting to worry. Although she knows that NaiHe is not online, she can’t help but to send him a message——

“Are you there?”

Naturally, she doesn’t get a response.

Two minutes later, she sends another one. Wei Wei stops sending them after a while and refreshes NaiHe’s name continuously instead; the system reminds her repeatedly that the player is not online, so she cannot refresh his profile.

YuGong, MonkeyWine, and the others are also in grey.

Not online.

7:50pm.

Wei Wei shows up in front of the NPC at the entrance by herself. The team setup symbol sits on top of her avatar, but she is the only one present in the team.

Part 18: The Finals

ButterflyDreams greets Wei Wei: “Wei Wei.”

Wei Wei: “ButterflyDreams, you’re also in the competition?”

ButterflyDreams: “Yeah, of course I have to take part in such a big competition.”

The two chat for a little. Although Wei Wei and BattleTheWorld aren’t on good terms, she won’t let this get in the way of her friendship with ButterflyDreams; it looks like ButterflyDreams also feels the same way.

They are in a competition nonetheless, so they don’t chat for long; the battle begins after the 3-minute wait.

ButterflyDreams isn’t an expert in PK battles, so she isn’t on the leaderboard. Her skill used to be above Wei Wei’s, but since she hasn’t been playing for a while, Wei Wei has caught to her with all her equipment upgrades. Therefore, their skill level is on par.

As a result, ASmileNaiHe and BattleTheWorld are the deciding factor on which side will win.

The winning couple of this round cannot be more obvious.

After the PK battle, ButterflyDreams sends a private message: “Wei Wei, let’s find a place to talk.”

Wei Wei sends a nodding head smiley.
