《After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player》


 CH 1

    This was a space filled with nothingness.


    Lamont¡¯s consciousness floated blankly among this empty space.


    Did he¡­ die?


    He probably did, there was no way he could live through being shot by the main cannon of a flying warship.


    But then, why was his consciousness intact?


    Or perhaps, this was the world after death?


    [System loading 99%¡­¡­ 100%]


    [System successfully loaded.]


    [??? Why is the host dead?]


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    That question was brimming with intelligence.1


    If he could still feel his own body, Lamont would¡¯ve really laughed out loud.


    Did the system only now realize he was already dead? If he could speak, he really wanted to ask what had the system been doing all this time.


    He wasn¡¯t at all surprised since the system had already popped up in his mind long before it all began.


    The day it happened, he really thought that he could reach the apex like those heroes from light novels and celebrated it for one whole morning.


    However, ever since the system loaded up to 99%, it had been stuck there since forever.2


    Then, nothing else ever happened.


    He relied on his sheer willpower and reached the top by himself. While he managed to reach the final battleground, he didn¡¯t manage to last till the end. Under the assault of close to a billion demons, he fired the airship¡¯s main cannon of his own accord and blasted himself along with the one billion demons into the heavens.


    Never did he expect the system would finally finish loading after he died.


    He had almost forgotten this thing ever existed.


    But it was already too late¡­ his ashes would¡¯ve probably been scattered by the wind by now. There¡¯s no way resurrection is possible¡­


    [Couldn¡¯t detect vital signs of the host, plan 2 initiated.]


    Huh? Plan 2?


    [Time Reversal, initiating in 3¡­ 2¡­ 1¡­]

    Wait, what is goi¡­


    [Initiated.]


    A dazzling rainbow radiance suddenly invaded the black space, as though he was sent from the depths of hell straight to the high heavens.


    His awareness gradually returned, beginning from his sense of hearing; he could hear a noisy ringing sound.


    He suddenly opened his eyes, and what appeared before him was an unfamiliar ceiling.


    [Time Reversal successful. Welcome back, host.]


    ¡°¡­¡­Welcome back, my a?s?s?!¡±


    Isn¡¯t that a bit too forceful?! No way I want to start all over again?!


    I was almost relieved of all of my responsibilities, and now you say I have to go back in time and experience that disaster all over again?!


    Why do you torment me so?!


    Or so ¡°she¡± wanted to complain, but no words came out after the first sentence.


    That¡¯s right, ¡°she¡±, not ¡°he¡±.


    The voice that came out of her mouth sounded obviously feminine, it was soothing and pleasant to the ears. It was a voice so beautiful that she rarely had a chance to come across in the past.


    How great would it be if only that voice didn¡¯t come from herself.


    She immediately got up from the bed and bowed her head to observe her own body.


    She was wearing a loose one-piece pajama, and her fair skin between the wide-open lapel was exposed. Instead of warmth, the dazzling rays of spring only brought chills to her heart.


    Slowly, she reached her hand towards her crotch.


    Without a doubt, she couldn¡¯t feel anything there.3


    [Those words just now contained profanity, a girl shouldn¡¯t speak like that.]4


    The system¡¯s voice echoed in her mind, disrupting her thoughts.

    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    She blanked out for a moment, then asked with a smile, ¡°Then could you please explain what¡¯s going on?¡±


    [Time Reversal is unable to overwrite the existing timeline. Thus, a new entity is created to divert the existing timeline.]


    ¡°Speak human language.¡±


    [The system cannot revive the host in the same body that existed in the timeline. Thus, the host¡¯s current body is a newly inserted avatar.]


    While the system was explaining, her personal info appeared in her mind.


    Her name was Shaelyn, the prettiest girl in Linjiang University, the baby daughter of the Lux Conglomerate.


    ¡­Other than the fact that she had been reincarnated into a girl, all the other conditions were much better than her past life¡¯s.


    This was her only consolation. With this identity and the support of the system, she might be able to avoid dying with regrets this time.


    [Reminder: The system is still linked to the host¡¯s original body. The host cannot influence the system with this body. It is recommended that the host find the original body and raise him.]


    ¡°?¡±


    [The host cannot gain any experience points from operating this body, but you can instead make the original body gain the experience points and reuse it.]


    ¡°¡­Are you kidding me?¡± Shaelyn became dumbfounded for a moment, ¡°Then what did you reincarnate me for? Why not just go back in time by yourself and fuse with the past me?¡±


    [During the current timeline, the host¡¯s main body already have the system, and it is stuck loading at 99%]


    ¡°Then why was it stuck at 99%?! Don¡¯t you feel any shame at all?!¡±


    [It¡¯s because of a bug.]5


    Shaelyn almost lost her cool at this point, ¡°Then what do you even exist for? To make fun of me?¡±


    [The system¡¯s purpose is to help the host save the world.]


    ¡°Save the world? If I save the world, then who will save me? I don¡¯t care that you turned me into a girl, but you even turned me into a leecher?¡±


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    [Don¡¯t be angry, host. As long as you save the world, the main system should be able to help you¡­ yes, return to your original state.]


    ¡°Why did you stop mid-sentence?¡±


    [It¡¯s a bug.]


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Shaelyn was still half in doubt, ¡°Really?¡±


    [Absolutely. Moreover, once the host has saved the world, you will receive an unimaginable reward. It will make you think that everything is worth it. Therefore, please go find the main body as soon as possible.]


    Shaelyn pondered silently for a while before she flopped onto the bed, ¡°I¡¯ll trust you only this one time.¡±


    She wasn¡¯t the type that gets swayed by some simple sentences, but since it was the system who said this, there¡¯s no harm in believing it just once.


    After all, what was supposed to be a simple game had led to the end of the world. What else couldn¡¯t she believe in?


    That¡¯s right. The cause of her death, as well as the calamity that fell upon the world, it all started with a game.


    A game created by God.


    The game was called [The God¡¯s Realm]6. It was the first-of-its-kind VRMMO, popularly known as the Second World. It was a testament to how real the game world felt. It could be said that the equipment used to develop the game was an overtechnology.


    The game was released to the whole world at the same time. Moreover, the game set was given for free to a limited amount of people who signed up early. They didn¡¯t have to pay a single cent for it. It was a miracle to some of the poorer countries and as for who created that miracle, no one had a clue.


    And right now, it wasn¡¯t far off until the launch of the game.


    Today was the miracle day in question.


    In the wee hours of this day, everyone in this world fully recovered at the same time, even those who were in the last stages of cancer were cured overnight. Nobody knew why, so it was called the miracle day. Some even believed it was the blessing of God.


    However, nobody at that time knew that it was actually just the beginning of the end.


    Before reincarnation, Shaelyn was called Lamont, also a student of Linjiang University. He was handsome, but was very dense around girls. As a result, he had never been involved in any sort of romantic relationship during his four years of university. In his spare time, his only hobby was playing basketball or doing exercise. He lived quite a plain and boring life.


    With that being the case, it wasn¡¯t a tall task to find her past self.


    As expected, Shaelyn found that familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the basketball court.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    This was the first time she saw her former self from a third-person perspective, it was a strange feeling.


    And now¡­ she¡¯ll have to raise him¡­


    It was but an easy task to deal with her past self.


    After buying a bottle of water from the vending machine nearby, she walked towards the court.


    All the basketball courts were occupied and brimming with activity, so it was unknown who screamed out: ¡°What? Goddess Shaelyn is here?!¡±


    With that, everyone unconsciously stopped doing what they were doing and gazed in her direction.


    Shaelyn¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. She simply walked towards her past self¡ªLamont¡ªunder everyone¡¯s watchful gaze, passed the water bottle to him and invited him with a smile, ¡°Lamont, how about we take a walk together?¡±

 CH 2

    This sudden suggestion caused the entire basketball court to fall into a state of silence.


    With the ball still in his hands, Lamont stared blankly at the lass before him in apparent disbelief.


    But the lass was without a doubt holding the bottle towards him.


    He was totally overwhelmed by her favor.


    With his appearance, it wasn¡¯t as though this was the first time a girl had approached him like this, but his dense personality had prevented many of his would-be pursuers from getting any closer. However, as he only pursued true love, he had never felt regretful over this fact.


    Even so, Shaelyn was an exception.


    Who was she?


    Before she even formally enrolled into the university, the whole campus was already looking forward to her enrollment. And ever since she entered, she had never fallen from the first spot on Linjiang University¡¯s lists of most beautiful women. She was a beauty not inferior in any way to the hottest female celebrities of the time. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that she had a distinction that even those celebrities couldn¡¯t hope to imitate.


    Not only that, she was also the heiress of the Lux Conglomerate. It could even be said that she was born with a golden spoon. She could probably enjoy a lifetime of luxury even if she didn¡¯t go to work.


    Some said if they could woo her, they would live like the protagonist of a certain novel1 and stand firmly at the apex of life.


    For someone of her standing, how could an ordinary man ever hope to associate with her?


    Never in his wildest of dreams had Lamont ever thought Shaelyn would take the initiative to talk to him. He felt like he was in a dream.


    He remained stock-still until the lass pulled him back into reality, ¡°Are you¡­ not willing?¡±


    Raising his head to check out the girl, she was frowning slightly, seemingly a little troubled and almost disappointed.


    At this point, however, before he had a chance to say anything, his friends were already pushing him on.


    ¡°He¡¯s willing, of course, he¡¯s willing! Since Miss Shaelyn invited him, he¡¯d have woken up from smiling too much even if he¡¯s dreaming, how could he be unwilling?¡±


    ¡°Hey, are you mute? Say something quickly! Don¡¯t make people wait anxiously!¡±


    ¡°Why are you still holding the basketball? Give it here! There are still people waiting to take the field!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Under the heckling of the crowds, Lamont had no choice but to pass the ball to the nearest guy and accept the bottled water from Shaelyn, ¡°Y-Yeah¡­ where do we go?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the lakeside,¡± Shaelyn beamed a smile, ¡°Have a leisurely stroll and some small talk¡­ et cetera.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­Sounds good.¡±


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    As the two left, the basketball court burst into activity.


    ¡°Fudge?! Since when did Lamont get so close to Campus Queen Shaelyn?!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that doofus to have such a hidden card! He said we would be loners forever, but now he has ascended to high heavens!¡±


    ¡°S?h?i?t?! We¡¯ll interrogate him when he gets back to the dormitory later!¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ just why? Why did Miss Shaelyn fall for that doofus? Other than his handsome looks, what else is he good for?¡±


    ¡°But he¡¯s still more handsome than you, what can you do about it? Who knows, maybe that¡¯s the type Miss Shaelyn is going for?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already laid all my cards, I feel so salty.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    The lake near the campus was man-made.


    As the two walked by the lakeside, none of them uttered a word.


    On one side, Lamont didn¡¯t know what to say, while on the other¡­ Shaelyn was afraid that she would start sneering at him once she opens her mouth.


    Only now, from a third-person perspective, did she come to realize how goofy her past self really was.


    Oh puh-lease! Be it a lass, a beauty queen or a lady, you gotta at least say something to appeal for yourself, you doofus! If you don¡¯t take the initiative, how will the story even start! Do you think the world revolves around you just because you look good?! Wake the hell up! There are no such things as¡­


    Wait¡­¡­ This is indeed a case of meat pie falling from the sky.


    For some reason, that kinda spoils my mood.


    From her understanding of her past self, she guessed that Lamont had probably already thought up the name of their second child despite his deadpan look.


    No matter how much he dreamt of it, this guy would never¡­ Well fine, to be fair, even Shaelyn had never really taken the first step either until her bitter end. She didn¡¯t even have a girlfriend nor had she ever held hands with a girl.


    This was also one of her biggest regrets after death.


    That¡¯s why she felt rather conflicted now that she had reincarnated.


    According to the common reincarnation trope, the reincarnator should have gone back to fix their past regrets and change their tragic fate, not to be reborn as a third party!


    Whose regrets was she supposed to fix again? This doofus? Make him go woo some girls while she hides in the shadow and eavesdrop?


    No way!


    She felt that this had already touched upon an ethical question ¡ª Could the Lamont now still be considered herself?

    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    [Answer, yes. Theoretically, the host and main host¡¯s soul signatures are identical. In soulology, you can be considered an existence even closer than twins, but since you have different bloodlines, it is still possible to mate.]


    [Tip: The higher the soul¡¯s compatibility, the greater the happiness is achieved through mating.]2


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Shaelyn smiled faintly.


    She suddenly harbored a wild thought, ¡®What will happen if I kill Lamont now?¡¯3


    [Not recommended, the system will once again enter a dormant state.]


    Wasn¡¯t this the same as last time then?


    [Since the cheat ability is held by the main host, the current host will not be able to reach the same height as last time.]


    ¡°¡­¡­Ok, you win!¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡± Finally hearing Shaelyn¡¯s voice, Lamont immediately became really focused, ¡°Did you¡­ say something just now?¡±


    ¡°I just said¡­¡± Shaelyn switched to a gentle smile, ¡°Are we just going to keep walking like this? You don¡¯t plan to do anything else?¡±


    Lamont spaced-out, ¡°We, uh¡­ what¡­ should we do?¡±


    You doofus! Shaelyn cursed again in her head.


    If this guy could even use one-tenth of his ability to hook up with his bros on the girls, it was guaranteed that he would be a master philanderer by now.


    To let the girls take the initiative, how could this guy ever make a girlfriend?


    Shaelyn silently inhaled and said smilingly, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re looking for a place to rent? Have you found a place yet? How about co-renting with me?¡±


    She had always thought of moving out of the dormitory during her life at university. Her dormmates knew it, but since she couldn¡¯t find an appropriate place and a co-renting partner, she stayed in the dorm till the day she graduated.


    She understood herself the most, so it was practically child¡¯s play if she wanted to have her past self in the palm of her hand.


    She could even predict what he would be saying next¡ª¡ª


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    ¡°Uh¡­ we¡¯re¡­ not really acquainted yet, are we? Why does Miss Shaelyn want to rent a place with me?¡±


    Moreover, she already knew what to reply: ¡°Because I like you.¡±


    The most effective method against a dense guy was to get straight to the point.


    As expected, Lamont was in a total loss.


    However, this wasn¡¯t enough to make him short circuit, there was still something she needed to do¡ª¡ª


    And that was¡­ to step up and hug him.


    Shaelyn softly embraced Lamont¡¯s neck and pressed her body against his. They were close enough to feel each other¡¯s breath. This ambiguous position caused Lamont to stiffen up.


    Shaelyn still had that gentle smile on her face, ¡°I have noticed you since long ago. My ideal boyfriend is someone like you¡­ bright, dedicated, gentle, considerate¡­ and always working out.¡±


    ¡­¡­It was on this occasion she finally realized her past self indeed didn¡¯t have that many good points.


    Even she had difficulties trying to find the words to praise herself.


    While Shaelyn repeatedly ridiculed herself on the inside, Lamont merely stood there, stock-still.


    He had never been praised by the opposite sex like this, not to mention being in such intimate contact.


    Is this¡­ how it feels to hug a girl?


    And there¡¯s that indistinct fragrance¡­


    Even after she did all that, however, his mind was still in full throttle, ¡°Ah¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m sorry! I also like you, but¡­ this doesn¡¯t count as we¡¯re dating yet, right? We aren¡¯t even familiar with each other¡­ What I wish is that we can take some time to get to know one another before making a decision. I don¡¯t want the girl to regret it for a lifetime because of my irresponsibility.¡±


    Shaelyn£º¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I knew it, he¡¯s a dolt.


    She heaved a sigh and let go of Lamont, ¡°Then, how about we live together for a period of time as friends? What do you think?¡±


    ׸Ðö = usually means the guy is weak/useless because no man should be marrying into the wife¡¯s house unless poor or powerless

 CH 3

    Lamont didn¡¯t give a definite answer in the end. Instead, he asked to give him one night to think about it.


    Shaelyn also didn¡¯t push him for an immediate answer.


    It was because she knew Lamont¡¯s personality very well. If she pushed her luck, she might achieve the opposite of the desired result. It wouldn¡¯t change even if the other side was a rich young lady.


    Rationality, that was probably Lamont¡¯s strongest point. Sometimes, however, being too rational could drive one crazy.


    I have already offered to cover half of the rent, what else is there to hesitate!


    After Lamont left, Shaelyn crouched where she stood and covered her face to calm herself for a moment.


    As expected, one¡¯s greatest enemy was their past self. If they really had to face their past self, there were too many things that could trigger their current self.


    Let¡¯s calm down¡­ In any case, he¡¯s still my past self¡­


    Be that as it may, she still cursed Lamont in her heart until she¡¯s satisfied.


    After Shaelyn had finally settled down, she got up and left the campus grounds.


    ¡ª¡ªAnd this whole sequence was caught on camera by the busybody students nearby.


    That very night, Lamont¡¯s name had spread throughout the campus.


    ¡¾Shocking News! A Man Actually Did This to Shaelyn!¡¿


    ¡¾Miss Shaelyn confessed her love but was unexpectedly rejected?! She grieved at the lakeside and wept endlessly! Proof in Photography!¡¿


    ¡¾According to insider news, the suspect Lamont is a third-year science student. He is currently being interrogated by the whole class, click the link to view the livestream¡ª¡ª¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    The livestream was broadcasted from a small room, it was very crowded, leaving only a little space for the suspect on the bed. The suspect in question was Lamont, who was smiling ear to ear as though he just won a lottery.


    ¡°S?h?i?t?! You lucky b?a?s?t?a?r?d??! When did you hook up with her?!¡±


    ¡°That, uhh¡­ I have no idea. Shaelyn came up to me herself.¡±


    ¡°F?u?c?k?! You¡¯re already on a first-name basis?! I heard Miss Shaelyn took the initiative to hug you, is that true?!¡±


    ¡°Umm¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the young lady a C-cup? How did it feel?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°The hell! Who asked that question? Go beat him up!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    It would seem that Lamont was doing rather well despite being the hottest topic of the night.


    Shaelyn closed the livestream, tossed her phone aside, and completely relaxed her mind on the sofa.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    This identity of hers didn¡¯t even exist in her past life. There was no Miss Shaelyn in Linjiang University nor did the Lux Conglomerate have a daughter.


    As such, she had never been this popular in her past life¡­ Alright, maybe only in the beginning when she was still secretly developing. That was the life.


    However, nothing would stay the same in this life. With this identity of hers, it was impossible for her to go unnoticed. As for what sort of influence that will bring, even she didn¡¯t know.


    All she knew was that, her past self, the current Lamont, wouldn¡¯t be easy to control.


    She had always been a very rational person. Even if money were to fall from the sky, she would take a long time to figure out whether it was a trap before picking it up. That personality had assisted her through many hopeless situations.


    It wasn¡¯t without its faults however, as it prevented her from trusting people who suddenly expressed their goodwill.


    She too had fantasized about living happily ever after with a like-minded girl, but it was just that, a fantasy. If that fantasy truly became reality, she wouldn¡¯t be able to stop herself from thinking about the girl¡¯s purpose or if she was just playing with him.


    In other words, if she wanted Lamont to trust her, she needed to take her time.


    Of course, there was another much simpler method, and that was to squeeze him dry. Squeeze him until he gives up thinking, then he would accept everything she says as the truth.


    After all, she knew better than anyone that she was a closet pervert during her university life. If there was a girl who¡¯s willing to have sex with him every day, it was very possible for him to get absorbed in it.


    ¡ª¡ªOr that¡¯s what she believed would happen anyway. After all, she had never been squeezed dry before.


    Even if she was right, however, it didn¡¯t mean she would do it!


    To let her past self do her current self?! Even if reincarnation was taken out of the equation, the plan itself was weird to begin with!


    ¡°And so¡­ System, one question: Why did you reincarnate me as a girl?¡± She slowly voiced her question.


    ¡¾Based on the calculation, the host will be able to gain the main host¡¯s favorability more easily with the current form.¡¿


    Hearing that, Shaelyn remained silent for a moment before getting up and entering the bathroom.


    This body was very beautiful indeed. So long as she didn¡¯t speak like an experienced old man, her cuteness would be maxed out.


    Moreover, she had a nice figure. Regardless of her assets or her curves, every part of her could ignite a man¡¯s wildest fantasies.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    In short, this was perfectly in line with Shaelyn¡¯s taste. This was practically the materialization of her dream girlfriend.


    What that meant was that it also conformed to Lamont¡¯s taste. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say this body was specially made to handle Lamont.


    Even with such an advantage, that still didn¡¯t make Lamont completely stop thinking.


    ¡°Tsk, I didn¡¯t know I was that adamant before,¡± Shaelyn looked at herself in the mirror with an indescribable expression, ¡°Pointlessly stubborn like an idiot.¡±


    After that short exchange, the feeling Lamont gave her was that of a grown-up looking back at their past self who was so proud of having written a bad quote and made them really want to go back to give their past self two big slaps.


    Perhaps one common point in every grown-up was that they had some dissatisfactions with their past self.


    As opposed to that, the fact that she became a girl paled in comparison.


    She already experienced death once, so there were many things she now regarded as unimportant.


    After taking a bath, Shaelyn returned to her room to search for any information regarding [The God¡¯s Realm] on the internet.


    This game was launched on the same date as the miracle day. The topic was already heating up on the miracle day, and it even had a fitting title to match: ¡°Experience the Second Reality.¡±


    Moreover, it was totally free to play. The fact that you could even make money while playing had attracted tons of players, many of which were discussing what kind of game it was.


    Shaelyn couldn¡¯t help recalling her past experiences.


    What kind of game was it?


    It was a game created by God.


    At first, everyone purely treated it as a game or a tool to make money while experiencing the feeling of being superheroes.


    Until that day, when their powers and equipment from the game followed the players into the real world.


    Following closely, the in-game monsters and various disasters started to manifest in the real world as well.


    At that time, everyone knew this wasn¡¯t just a game anymore, but the world¡¯s only hope. This was the sole way to save humanity.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    Against the onslaught of countless monsters, humanity formed an expeditionary force to take down the final world boss as a last-ditch effort.


    Shaelyn was one of such enlisted forces. It was unfortunate that her group had to encounter a sea of monsters. She was the only one left so she decided to take down all the monsters with her by unleashing her strongest power.


    ¡¾The host shouldn¡¯t have chosen to sacrifice yourself then. If the host could last until the System fully loaded, all your accumulated experience would be accounted for. If the host used all the accumulated points to raise your strength, you could¡¯ve become the world¡¯s strongest.¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡­What¡¯s the point of saying that now? Why didn¡¯t you revive me on the spot at that time?¡±


    ¡¾Mission Impossible.¡¿


    Shaelyn heaved a sigh, clearly too lazy to continue arguing with the system, ¡°So? The points I accumulated in my past life, can they still be used?¡±


    ¡¾Time Reversal also affects the accumulated points, the host¡¯s experience have been reset.¡¿


    ¡°Can I scream now?¡±


    ¡¾¡­¡­The System can offer a compensation to the host.¡¿


    At the same time, Shaelyn noticed a new function suddenly appearing in the system panel¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾Newbie Gift Pack (Can be opened after clearing an instance for the first time)¡¿


    ¡¾Obtained Trait: Permanent Makeup ¨C No need to maintain the makeup, the user can keep their best look forever.¡¿


    She silently stared at the trait name for a while.


    ¡°This is the compensation?¡±


    ¡¾¡­¡­Answer, yes.¡¿

 CH 4

    Lamont had a sweet dream that night.


    He dreamt that he accepted Shaelyn¡¯s proposal and officially became lovers.


    In the dream, she brought him to the beach, and inside the waterfront villa, he pushed her onto the bed and took off her clothes piece by piece¡­


    It was then his phone vibrated and roused him from his dream.


    He groggily picked up the phone with a bit of displeasure, ¡°Hello? Who is this?¡±


    It was such a nice dream, and yet¡­


    ¡°Have you decided yet? Want to go grab breakfast together?¡± Shaelyn¡¯s voice was heard through the phone.


    Lamont¡¯s mind went from being idle to instantly running at full throttle, ¡°Ah¡­ o-of course, I¡¯ll be there soon. Wait for me.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, I¡¯ll wait at the main entrance of the west dining hall.¡±


    After hanging up the call, Lamont peeked at the time, and it was only 8 AM.


    It was the weekend, so none of his roommates were awake yet.


    He slapped his face to wake himself up and then got off the bed¡­ only to feel his wet underwear rubbing against his crotch.1


    ¡°Oh great¡­¡±


    Ten odd minutes after the call, Shaelyn finally met up with Lamont.


    It seemed that he got up in a rush as his clothes were still a little messy.


    Ugh, I can¡¯t stand to look at him.


    In any case, this could also be considered as going on a date with a girl. Even if he was in a rush, the least he could do was to make himself look presentable.


    No wonder he couldn¡¯t find a girlfriend.


    Idiot.


    Even if she was cursing at Lamont in her heart, the latter was still her past self, so Shaelyn endured it and helped him tidy up instead, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be in such a rush, I don¡¯t mind waiting a little longer.¡±


    Lamont¡¯s body stiffened up.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    She¡¯s actually helping me tidy up my clothes?


    In a public space no less, in front of all the students!


    The peanut gallery2 was looking at them, dumbfounded.


    Why is she¡­ doing this for me?


    Could she really have fallen for me?


    ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Finished with her task, Shaelyn held Lamont¡¯s hand in a very natural fashion and smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat.¡±


    Lamont¡¯s brain stopped working then.


    We¡­¡­ We¡¯re holding hands¡­¡­


    My first time¡­¡­ holding a girl¡¯s hand¡­¡­


    So, a girl¡¯s hands are this soft¡­¡­


    ¡°Lamont?¡± Shaelyn called out to him before he was completely lost in thought.


    ¡°Cough¡­¡± Lamont coughed lightly to gloss it over, ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go together¡­¡±


    Shaelyn smiled sweetly at him, then turned away and rolled her eyes at an angle he couldn¡¯t see.


    Idiot, idiot, idiot!


    Was I really such a hopeless case before?


    Can¡¯t he be a little more outspoken? Who cares if it¡¯s a honeypot or a honey trap, can¡¯t you at least bite it first? Even if it leads to a disaster, you at least have to enjoy it in the beginning, don¡¯t you?


    Urggghhhh, frigging idiot!


    The more she looked at that guy, the more revolting she felt.


    Even if she knew she managed to reach that height in her past life, now that she looked back at her past self, she even started to doubt if this guy could get as high.


    If it was like this, wouldn¡¯t it be better to reincarnate her as one of Lamont¡¯s best friends? At least the camaraderie between brotherhood was stronger than the relationship between boys and girls?


    ¡¾According to calculations, as the same sex, the highest friendship level between the main body and host can only reach up to 87%. Meanwhile, as the opposite sex, the friendship level can reach as high as 1000%.¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    There¡¯s one extra zero.


    ¡¾Answer, the value¡¯s indeed correct.¡¿


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Seeing that Shaelyn had stopped eating, Lamont asked in concern, ¡°Are the noodles not to your taste?¡±


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    Shaelyn returned to her senses and tilted her head as she eyed at Lamont, then she shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m just thinking about the matter from yesterday, have you already decided yet?¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Lamont didn¡¯t expect her to get straight to the point. He paused for a moment before he nodded hesitantly, ¡°Sure¡­ we can start as friends, and¡­¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s move after we eat?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­That fast?¡±


    ¡°Because I really want to stay together with you, even as friends.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡­¡±


    Lamont gradually stopped thinking.


    He wasn¡¯t able to cope with such a straightforward approach due to his inexperience with women.


    Shaelyn, on the other hand, was still smiling warmly.


    She would really lose all her face if she couldn¡¯t even hold sway over her past self.


    It wasn¡¯t a tall task to move since Lamont didn¡¯t have much luggage to begin with. Other than his computer and books, he only had a pitiful selection of clothes. He was never big on clothes, so long as they could be worn, that was all that mattered.


    In fact, Shaelyn was also the same in this regard¡­ More precisely, she didn¡¯t care about the boy¡¯s attire, but as she was kind of a closet pervert, she had done a little research on what kind of clothes would look good on girls.3


    Though, she was a bit conflicted to apply the knowledge on herself.


    It was worth mentioning that, as the daughter of a big conglomerate, it was impossible for Shaelyn to live in a shabby apartment. Though she said it was co-renting, her family had brought a suite for her in the high-class district next to the campus. In other words, this was where she¡¯s currently staying.


    That¡¯s why Lamont was a little speechless when she brought him here, ¡°This is¡­ where we¡¯re staying?¡±


    Goodness gracious¡­ just how much is the rent here?


    ¡°This is the room my father bought for me, no rental fees required,¡± Shaelyn pulled him into the room without giving him the chance to say anything, then she closed the door, ¡°But it feels so lonely to live here by myself, that¡¯s why I want you to come over¡­¡±


    Lamont stopped his feet and suddenly said, ¡°Then I can¡¯t live here! What if other people start gossiping about you? I bet your father won¡¯t be happy with this either¡­¡±


    With her back facing him, Shaelyn heaved a sigh.


    He really is¡­ an idiot.


    Always so unnecessarily persistent and making himself appear as a good guy. Even though I¡¯ve laid my feelings bare and he knows how I feel, he still tried to remain upright and make the dumbest choices.


    *It¡¯s not like there¡¯s only one way to become a good guy, you doofus.¡±


    Trying to restrain herself from roasting him, Shaelyn turned around and directly pulled Lamont into her embrace, ¡°I won¡¯t let go until you promise to stay.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    ¡°I¡¯ll let go once you promise.¡±


    Feeling the softness pressing against him, Lamont momentarily blanked out, ¡°No¡­ Shaelyn¡­ this is bad¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± Shaelyn hugged him tighter, ¡°I won¡¯t let go until you agree. You can either carry me back like this or we can stay like this until we die of hunger.¡±


    The ultimate coaxing technique, let¡¯s see if you can continue to reject me with this.


    As the proverb said; only you can understand yourself. She was perfectly aware of what kind of girlfriend she wanted in her past life, so it was completely possible for her to become Lamont¡¯s dream girlfriend. If even after she went this far and he didn¡¯t fall for this trick, she would have to start doubting whether this guy was really herself.


    As she anticipated, Lamont caved in before long, ¡°Ah¡­ okay¡­ I¡¯ll stay so¡­ please don¡¯t be like this¡­¡±


    Shaelyn released him at once with a brilliant smile, then took his luggage into the room, ¡°Yay! So you¡¯ll stay? You cannot go back on your words alright?


    Looking at the rear view of the sly girl who clearly just got away with what she wanted, Lamont couldn¡¯t help but think she was a little cute.


    He didn¡¯t know what she was scheming, but there was nothing of value on him that she could have wanted.


    After all, she was the baby daughter of the Lux Conglomerate¡­


    Therefore¡­ there might be a slight possibility¡­ that she had really fallen for him?


    With those thoughts in mind, Lamont unconsciously leaked a smile.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll stay here from now on.¡±


    Fire: Uh huh¡­ Too much information.


    Silva: You want more information? In the dream, I was holding hands with my crush, in front of my grandma¡¯s house, and she pressed her breasts against my arm, man those feels heavenly, even in my dream, and I wet myself after waking up. JUST from holding arms a little intimately.


    Fire: Man, you¡¯ve told that before, but this is even more unneeded information¡­


    Silva: want some peanuts?


    Fire: Listen here kids, if a Silva offers you some peanuts, DO NOT accept them. That¡¯s Fire¡¯s safety reminder, thank you.


    Silva: What, they¡¯re not for you to eat, but to throw at the gallery.


    Fire: It¡¯s still suspicious since it¡¯s from you


    Fire: You pervert


    Silva: What do you mean pervert, crossdressing and playing as female in games are normal nowadays!


    Fire: Playing as female in games, sure, but crossdressing¡­?

 CH 5

    It didn¡¯t take them too long to tidy up the room.


    While Lamont was sweeping, Shaelyn was observing him while leaning against the door frame.


    This was the first time since she reincarnated that she examined her past self this closely.


    Just based on appearance alone, Lamont was indeed a masculine man. Since he regularly exercised and played sports all year round, he had developed a good build. The thin summer clothes he wore perfectly showcased his muscles that oozed with manly charm. It was just the right size, not overly-developed nor too untrained either.


    At this point, even Shaelyn didn¡¯t have anything to complain about. In ¡°The God¡¯s Realm,¡± the player¡¯s base stats were based upon their physical state, so that body of hers had actually helped her through many difficulties in the early game.


    Actually, aside from his dense personality, Shaelyn felt that Lamont was actually pretty acceptable. Apart from his physical state, Lamont¡¯s mental fortitude also passed her evaluation. It was thanks to her mental fortitude that she was able to get that far on her own.


    Even so, sometimes she wished there was someone who could share the burden alongside her so that she could relax and not wear herself out.


    As Lamont in her past life, she still ultimately fell before daybreak. Therefore, as Shaelyn in this life¡­ she determined she might as well walk down this path along with the present Lamont.


    She was clearer than anyone on how exhausting it had felt to not be able to find someone to share your thoughts with, that was why she didn¡¯t wish for her present self to experience the same thing.


    If the system didn¡¯t lie to her, then she would turn back into Lamont by the end of the journey. All of these experiences will become nothing more than just memories, but at least she would have beautiful memories.


    The phone rang at this time. Shaelyn accepted the call and heard the butler¡¯s voice, ¡°Mistress, the game capsule has arrived. Should we install it now?¡±


    ¡°Send it over then. I¡¯m at home.¡± With those words, Shaelyn hung up the call.


    The butler quickly went to work. He employed a few men to deliver the two game capsules in a jiffy.


    Upon noticing Lamont in the room, the butler was visibly confused, ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Lamont naturally tensed up a little.


    This person was surely employed by her father. Would he report that his daughter had brought some guy to her room?


    However, Shaelyn quickly dispelled his apprehension. She directly embraced Lamont¡¯s arm and smiled towards the butler, ¡°My boyfriend, Lamont.¡±


    Lamont was gobsmacked.


    She just went straight to the point?


    Really? Is it really fine like this?!


    Can¡¯t she be a little more tactful? With my current status, I am not a good match for Shaelyn. What if her father disagrees?


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    But unexpectedly, the butler didn¡¯t say anything and just nodded, ¡°Understood.¡±


    After they finished installing the game capsules, they didn¡¯t overstay their welcome and immediately left.


    This made Lamont enter another round of daze.


    Huh¡­ That¡¯s it?


    They suddenly learned that their mistress had hooked up with a boyfriend out of nowhere, shouldn¡¯t they be more interested in his background and such?


    Wasn¡¯t that reaction a bit too lackluster?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Shaelyn released his arm and said, ¡°My family isn¡¯t too strict with me. My dad also supports free love, so long as I can take responsibility for myself.¡±


    She naturally knew what Lamont was thinking. It was impossible for her to not take this into account. Since the system had set up this identity for her, it had already eliminated all the obstacles. If she couldn¡¯t even get in touch with Lamont, then her status would be an annoyance instead.


    ¡°Ah¡­ Is that so,¡± Lamont nodded with complex emotions swirling within him.


    Shaelyn didn¡¯t entertain this topic for much longer and pulled Lamont before the game capsules, ¡°I hear that you love gaming? Have you heard of The God¡¯s Realm?¡±


    Lamont paused for a moment, ¡°The hottest game that¡¯s been spreading around the net? Yeah.¡±


    Don¡¯t tell me these two capsules are¡­


    ¡°These are the game capsules for The God¡¯s Realm. I begged my father to get me the first set,¡± Shaelyn revealed a brilliant smile and continued, ¡°Do you want to try it?¡±


    The game capsules of The God¡¯s Realm were being shipped out in batches as it would be too suspicious to ship out in large amounts all at once. Even though their goal was not to earn money, the first batch was still pretty hard to get.


    Her past self didn¡¯t get the first batch, but the third. Additionally, since she was unfamiliar with the rules of the game, she had fallen behind by quite a bit.


    This time, however, she planned to pull Lamont and herself to the top 1 and 2 respectively.


    Naturally, Lamont as the top, and she, the second.


    That was because she knew the strength of her past self¡­ In other words, she knew how strong Lamont could be. He could be considered a law-defying existence, a cheat-like existence in the system¡¯s terminology.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    It was unfortunate, but her current self probably wouldn¡¯t get that strong.


    However, with all her experiences, even if she didn¡¯t have sufficient power, she was confident that she could still become strong.


    As for whether Lamont would obediently listen to her and play the game with her, she didn¡¯t even need to think twice about it¡ª¡ª


    Putting aside whether he was invited by his girlfriend or not, there was no way Lamont would refuse if a virtual reality game capsule was delivered right in front of him. He was basically a game addict and had tried out almost all the games available in the market. His gaming experience was unparalleled and this too was a strong point for him because [The God¡¯s Realm] was essentially a game at its core. If they view it as simply a game, they could gain unexpected advantages.1


    According to plan, Lamont accepted very readily. In fact, he couldn¡¯t even contain his excitement, ¡°So this is the game capsule? You¡­ actually like to play games too, huh?¡±


    ¡°Of course!¡± The corners of Shaelyn¡¯s lips curved up slightly and she made an appropriately endearing remark, ¡°Though not many people know, but I¡¯m actually a gamer too.¡±


    It was a critical hit!2


    Lamont was feeling so high, he nearly fainted.


    What could be more wonderful than this? A girlfriend who appeared out of nowhere and even gifted him the one game he was yearning for!


    If not to keep up his appearance, he would really spin three times on the spot and shout at the top of his lungs twice.


    Shaelyn merely observed Lamont¡¯s continuously changing expression with a smile.


    Tsk¡­ Youngster, can¡¯t even keep his own cool.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough standing around. Why don¡¯t we log in and try the game?¡± After helping Lamont open his capsule, Shaelyn got into the other one and said, ¡°I heard the game is also known as the second world. Since they boasted it that highly, why don¡¯t we go take a look?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!¡± At this moment, Lamont finally made a firm decision like a real man for the first time3, ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try!¡±


    I don¡¯t care anymore! Even if this is a dream! I will just enjoy it to the fullest!


    He lied in the capsule and the lip slowly came to a close. A synthetic voice could be heard soon after, ¡°Player logging in for the first time, please shut your eyes.¡±


    Hearing that, Lamont took a deep breath and shut his eyes as instructed.


    Following that, his consciousness sunk into darkness.


    Soon after, the whole world around him was suddenly replaced by dazzling light and a paradise-like scenery appeared before him. It was no surprise that he entered a dazed state for a moment.4


    He remained still until the system¡¯s voice rang out again, ¡°Please modify the player¡¯s appearance.¡±


    After that, the dazzling light around him faded away and Lamont found himself in a villa.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    The villa hall was very spacious and to his right was a curtain wall with a full view of the beach and sea. In front of him was a full-body mirror reflecting his avatar which looked exactly the same as himself.


    Lamont stared at it blankly for a while before he visualized a different avatar in his mind.


    At the same time, his appearance changed and became exactly as he had imagined.


    ¡°Oh my god! This is like straight out of a science fiction novel!¡±


    Trying to restrain his overflowing excitement, Lamont decided to set his avatar to his original appearance. After all, he wasn¡¯t really that dissatisfied with his face or body.


    The system¡¯s voice rang out timely¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Avatar confirmed.¡±


    ¡°Player identity verified.¡±


    With that, a virtual panel popped up before his eyes.


    ¡¾Name: Lamont¡¿


    ¡¾Age: 21¡¿


    ¡¾Currently viewing Player Info.¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡­Must we use our real names?¡± Lamont frowned slightly, ¡°And how did it know my name?¡±


    ¡°The game is linked to every country¡¯s residential database, so the players can only register with their real info. But that¡¯s only limited to your name, so it doesn¡¯t matter. You can change your appearance anyway,¡± Shaelyn¡¯s voice came from behind, causing Lamont to turn around unconsciously.


    Then he froze for the nth times today.5


    Shaelyn also used her original appearance.


    But instead¡­ She was wearing a bikini.6

 CH 6

    It was a black bikini with a cartoonish watermelon design drawn on the panties. The contrasting color made Shaelyn¡¯s fair skin stand out even more.


    Additionally, the bikini was only supported by ribbons so thin it felt like they could loosen up and fall down. That kind of visual assault was too much for Lamont to bear.


    Even if he was used to seeing pretty girls in revealing outfits on the internet before, it still couldn¡¯t compare to the feelings of seeing a real girl showing off their assets right before his very eyes.


    It momentarily caused his brain to crash.


    ¡°You still there?¡± Shaelyn had a meaningful smile as she walked towards Lamont and waved her hand before his face.


    Surprised, Lamont took one step back, ¡°Y¡­ You¡­ Why are you wearing that¡ª¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a game outfit, of course,¡± Shaelyn stopped teasing him and pulled some distance from Lamont before she explained, ¡°When you first log in, you will be given 100 game points. They can then be used to change your outfit. In the armoire setting, you can make your own outfit and consume some game points to exchange the item.¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ Is that so¡­¡± Lamont was still a bit out of it.


    It was at this time Shaelyn gave him a bit of a heads-up, ¡°With my family connection, I was able to get some confidential information regarding the game. If you have something you don¡¯t understand, feel free to ask me.¡±


    If she explained her knowledge of the game like this, even Lamont wouldn¡¯t think twice about it, especially with his eyes almost glued to her chest right now. She could probably trick him with this for a while.


    As long as she could raise their relationship to become inseparable before he noticed something was fishy, she would have nothing to worry about.


    But honestly, this guy¡¯s body sure is honest¡­ He didn¡¯t even blink once as he stared at my chest.


    Tsk. How distasteful.


    After a light cough, she asked, ¡°Should we go clear a dungeon? Or do you want to play here for a while longer to get used to it?


    That voice pulled Lamont¡¯s consciousness back to reality, then he turned his eyes away awkwardly, ¡°Ah¡­ let¡¯s go to the dungeon. There¡¯s no point in staying here any longer. This place really does feel the same as reality¡­¡±


    If he didn¡¯t know ahead of time, he would really have thought this place was real. There wasn¡¯t the slightest indication around here that proved this was within the game world. Even the character model looked so real you couldn¡¯t tell them apart from the real deal. These frighteningly accurate precision and technology made him doubt if this game was really a product of this era.


    That¡¯s why there wasn¡¯t a need for a tutorial for one to get accustomed to the game.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s give it a try then,¡± Shaelyn nodded, then a layer of light suddenly covered her body. By the time the light dissipated, she had already changed her outfit, from a bikini to a practical outfit, the type that didn¡¯t show much skin.


    That allowed Lamont to relax a bit.


    [The God¡¯s Realm] was not a common type of online game. If one really had to categorize it, this game would fall under the dungeon crawler genre. The main part of the game was divided into three major components: Hidden Zone, Safe Zone, and Battle Zone.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    The Hidden Zone was the end-game area of this game, it was also the final battleground where Shaelyn met her maker. This area was sealed off in the early-game until all the players reached a certain level.


    The Safe Zone was the most basic dungeon in the game. The difficulty was on the low side and the pain level was only set to 10%. Moreover, the player¡¯s strength would be buffed upon entering the dungeon. As a result, clearing the dungeon didn¡¯t yield many rewards. The players were only given very few game points, though there was no penalty for failure.


    The Battle Zone was the primary area of the game. The difficulty was unusually high and players wouldn¡¯t get any buffs from the system. The pain level was at 70% and the players wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the Battle Zone again for three days after death.


    However, the rewards were extravagant. Upon clearing the dungeon, not only were the players awarded with a magnanimous amount of game points, they could even take the spoils from the dungeon back with them.


    And more importantly, the players could only unlock their true powers after clearing the Battle Zone at least once. This was the starting point where the strong and weak were divided.


    During her past life, many players still didn¡¯t manage to clear the Battle Zone after the Hidden Area was unlocked. They didn¡¯t have an ounce of power to fight back against the first wave of monsters, leading to catastrophic casualties for humankind.


    As for why so many players didn¡¯t manage to clear the first trial, while the high difficulty was indeed part of the reason, the main reason was that too many players were afraid of death.


    The pain level was scaled up to 70% to prepare the players for what¡¯s to come, it wasn¡¯t just a game anymore at that point. Because of this, many of the more timid players stopped advancing at that point. None of them was willing to experience the fear and the pain before death for the second time.


    However, there were some players who specialized in clearing the Battle Zone. Even though they didn¡¯t know what the future had planned for them, the fact that they could exchange game points for cash was too attractive to pass up. If they were strong enough, it wasn¡¯t a pipe dream to become a millionaire from playing a game.


    Only god knew where the money came from.


    But that was the least of the player¡¯s concern.


    Lamont was currently troubled by the choice before him, ¡°Why don¡¯t we try the Safe Zone first? The penalties of the Battle Zone seem a little scary. I feel that it¡¯s better to test out the game in the Safe Zone first before we tackle the Battle Zone.¡±


    ¡°No need, we will challenge the Battle Zone,¡± Shaelyn¡¯s voice was very firm, ¡°It will be all the more satisfying to challenge a high difficulty instance. There¡¯s no sense of accomplishment if the difficulty is too low, don¡¯t you think?¡±


    Back then, she was afraid of the Battle Zone¡¯s penalties so she played in the Safe Zone for a long period of time. Only until she became aware that she couldn¡¯t get any stronger in the Safe Zone did she finally decide to endure the pain and challenge the Battle Zone.


    She couldn¡¯t let Lamont walk down the same path as her. Pain was scary, but what¡¯s even scarier was cowardice.


    And with her experience backing her up, she was confident that she wouldn¡¯t let Lamont experience death so early on.


    However, Lamont was still a little hesitant.


    He also liked to challenge the highest difficulty instance back when he was playing games. Borrowing Shaelyn¡¯s words, it was more satisfying to clear a high difficulty instance. However, in those games, he wouldn¡¯t receive any penalties upon death. No matter how gruesome the death, no harm would come to his real body.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    In this game, however, they could feel the pain.


    Was it really a good idea to challenge high difficulty instances right off the bat?


    ¡°Lamont, you aren¡¯t¡­ scared, are you?¡± Shaelyn suddenly moved closer to Lamont and said disappointedly.


    ¡°Of course not!¡± Hearing those words, Lamont ceased thinking at once and tossed away all of his misgivings, ¡°Fine! To the Battle Zone we go! If anything happens, I will protect you!¡±


    How could a man admit their own cowardice?!


    At most, they¡¯d just die! But it wasn¡¯t like they¡¯d die for real anyway!


    Seeing Lamont getting excited all by himself, Shaelyn narrowed her eyes unscrupulously.


    Easy peasy.


    After successfully forming a party, the two selected the Battle Zone instance and started the matching process.


    The matching ended pretty quickly. It only took a few seconds before the two were enveloped in bright light and teleported away from where they stood.


    When their vision returned, they found themselves in a white space.


    Other than the two of them, there were eight other players. There were players of both genders, one more beautiful than the other as though this was a general assembly before a beauty pageant.


    ¡­¡­Actually, one of them looked a little out of place here. He was a 2 meters tall muscular man who seemed capable of killing someone with a single punch.1


    Lamont¡¯s face scrunched up a little when he noticed that guy, ¡°Will our physical appearance affect our stats?¡±


    ¡°No, in the Battle Zone instance, your stats will be reverted back to your original values in reality. Even if you change your avatar to look like a muscular tank, you¡¯ll still only be as strong as you are in reality,¡± Shaelyn glanced at the muscular man as though she was looking at an idiot, then she continued in a whisper, ¡°Other than inhibiting your own movements by making an avatar like that, it¡¯s basically pointless.¡±


    Hearing that, Lamont felt slightly relieved, ¡°That¡¯s good to know¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Shaelyn suddenly leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear, ¡°You cannot harm another player in the instance. If you do, be prepared to face a serious penalty. That¡¯s why you should just mind your own business.¡±


    ¡°A-Ah¡­ So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± Lamont stuttered a bit.


    He really was weak against close contact with the opposite sex.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    Especially so when the girl in question proclaimed herself to be his girlfriend.

 CH 7

    This was the first day of the launch, so only a selected few were able to enter the game, all of whom were newbies. Since none of them knew the workings of the game yet, they didn¡¯t try to communicate with the other players and used what little time they had to familiarize themselves with the system.


    However, the instance only started a short while later. All the players in the room were transferred to an open space.


    They were surrounded by a thick tropical forest so vast they couldn¡¯t see the end of it. Moreover, there were no man-made structures anywhere in the vicinity.


    Soon, the system notice appeared before everyone present¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾Battle Zone: Fanatical Island¡¿


    ¡¾Difficulty: Low¡¿


    ¡¾Time Acceleration: 3 times1¡¿


    ¡¾Introduction: You are invited to participate in a one-day wilderness survival reality show. The show begins now!¡¿


    ¡¾Quest Objective: Survive until the next day.¡¿


    ¡¾Tips: The Idol Safekeeping Association strongly denounces these kinds of wild activities, they will be here in 3 hours. Please be prepared for it.2¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    A short silence ensued.


    In the end, it was that muscle man who spoke out, ¡°Just what are they playing at? Idol Safekeeping Association? Are they singling me out?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, who asked you to create such a heavyweight avatar, who else to blame but yourself?¡± One of the pretty boys among the group jeered at him.


    The muscle man examined the pretty boy briefly before he harrumphed, ¡°Hah! So you¡¯re their target of safekeeping? A pretty boy whose balls can only secrete female hormones.¡±


    Although the game allowed the players to change their appearances, it was impossible to change genders. Thus, it prevented femboys from ever appearing. As for female players pretending to be a man¡­ the game allowed the players to view their status. Although there wasn¡¯t much information divulged to the public, at least their gender couldn¡¯t be hidden. A male player¡¯s status board would be displayed in blue, while the female¡¯s in pink.


    After observing everyone for a bit, Shaelyn pulled Lamont¡¯s hand, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lamont asked in confusion, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we wait here a while longer?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to see here even if we stayed,¡± Shaelyn blinked her eyes at him and coaxed him, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be alone with me?¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Lamont became tongue-tied.


    Looking at his stupid expression, Shaelyn couldn¡¯t resist cursing at this doofus in her heart.


    His mental resistance was too weak so she easily penetrated his defenses.


    Either way, Shaelyn was gradually getting used to being a girl.


    As the instance started, everyone was given a smartwatch. Other than displaying the time, it also showed the map of the island, serving as a radar of sorts.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    Many supplies were scattered across the island, and they were all marked on the map. As such, their first priority was to secure some of these supplies. Only then would they be able to secure their livelihood.


    ¡°Time flows three times faster in this instance. In other words, every second in the real world is three seconds here. Three hours of preparation time refers to the time in the instance, that means we only have one hour of grace period.¡± While she jogged with a casual pace, Shaelyn explained about the game mechanics to Lamont.


    Lamont was still a little confused, ¡°Then does that mean each instance will take at least a few hours?¡±


    Even if time went three times faster, spending one whole day in-game would be equivalent to eight hours in real life in this case. That was much too long for a game.


    ¡°Not necessarily,¡± Shaelyn shook her head, ¡°Once three hours pass in real life, no matter how much time you spend, it¡¯ll still only be three hours. It¡¯s in accordance with the longest gaming curfew imposed by the government; isn¡¯t that unreal?¡±


    ¡°For real? How does that work?¡±


    ¡°Who knows? Maybe it¡¯s because we¡¯re in the God¡¯s realm.¡±


    Lamont didn¡¯t take her words too seriously. Instead, he started to ruminate on the problem with the difference in time flow, ¡°If what you said is true, then if we spent ten years in the instance and found that only one hour have passed in real life, will that not cause any time disparity?¡±


    ¡°No, the time limit for the instance is only up to 15 days at most. Once the time limit is up and the objectives are still not cleared, it will be deemed as a failure and the players will be booted out.¡± Shaelyn smiled and explained, ¡°Moreover, once you exit the game, the system will adjust your experiences in the instance to prevent the players from feeling a huge disparity in time.¡±


    At least that was how it was in the early-game.


    As for the so-called ¡°adjusting¡±, it wasn¡¯t to make the players forget about their experiences but to dampen their impression of the instance and think of it as though they were watching a movie from a first-person perspective.


    This could ensure that the players wouldn¡¯t suffer from any psychological issues. After all, death was still a really terrifying experience for most people.


    The disparity in time between reality and the game was also one of the main reasons why they had to do this. By doing this, the players would feel as though they were too absorbed in gaming and forgot about the time. It was the same as saying ¡°one more round¡± but then you keep playing until the next morning. Therefore, it wouldn¡¯t have any serious impact on the players.


    ¡°Then, who are those Idol Safekeeping Association the system mentioned earlier?¡± Lamont frowned and continued with a serious look, ¡°Enemies? Here to kill us?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s highly probable,¡± Shaelyn tilted her head and glanced at Lamont.


    This guy¡­ he¡¯s starting to get serious¡­ With those thoughts crossing her mind, Shaelyn couldn¡¯t prevent a smile on her face.


    A challenging game was a lot more appealing to a dense guy like him than pretty girls ever could. Thus, it was hard for him to contain his urge even if he was playing with the opposite sex.


    In an even more extreme case, if the girl was so bad at the game, he would probably curse at them in his heart, ¡°Why the heck am I playing together with this noob? Oh please, why don¡¯t you just quit the game?¡±


    Naturally, Shaelyn understood Lamont¡¯s line of thought, she was also once like this.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    ¡­¡­But that wasn¡¯t a bad thing at all, especially when playing this game.


    ¡°Will the player¡¯s appearance affect the quest?¡± Lamont continued his line of questioning, ¡°Since they¡¯re the Idol Safekeeping Association and all, quite a few players from before could easily pass as an idol.¡±


    ¡°Since they joined this wilderness survival game, they¡¯re no longer considered as idols,¡± Shaelyn explained with a thin smile.


    Although [The God¡¯s Realm] was also known as the second world, it was still essentially a game. Just as in any regular Role-Playing Game (RPG), even if the players created an avatar on par with the four beauties of ancient China, the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) still wouldn¡¯t show any reaction towards them and would only follow the prearranged script.


    From that perspective, this instance should follow the same rules. That Safekeeping Association should be viewing the players as malicious beings. Be that as it may, not everything was set in stone, the players could incite the NPC to do their bidding should they use the appropriate methods. That won¡¯t be an easy feat, however, as it all depended on how the system works.


    Take this sloppily put together instance for example. If the Safekeeping Association¡¯s only purpose was to kill the players, there was no chance at all they could stir up the NPCs.


    But then again, now wasn¡¯t the time to worry about those.


    The two unexpectedly reached a small stream while they were chatting.


    The afternoon sun filtered through the leaves, creating dappled sunshine everywhere. The splashing sound of the flowing water as the stream crashed against the rock created a harmonizing scene. The critters drinking by the riverside scattered all over the place with the appearance of the two. All of these scenic views were observed by the two.


    The game world was not only realistic, but it also contained breathtaking scenery rarely seen in the real world.


    For a moment, Lamont was mesmerized by this scene.


    Shaelyn pulled his hand and stood by his side for a while before suggesting, ¡°Why don¡¯t we rest here for a bit?¡±

 CH 8

    Though she suggested that, it was true she did want to rest herself.


    During the later part of the game, the whole world was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere. She once had many friends, but none of them could make her lay down everything and share her innermost feelings with them.


    Sometimes, she would even envy couples. They might not be as strong as her, nor could they survive till the end, but to be able to embrace their loved ones and welcome death together may perhaps be a form of salvation.


    To walk till the end by one¡¯s lonesome self was truly very exhausting.


    Even after reincarnation, she had to quickly adapt to all the changes around her and formulate a plan for this life without even a moment of respite. She had been straining herself since the start, it was about time to relax a little.


    Shaelyn removed her shoes and sat on the boulder by the stream to soak her legs in the water. The ice-cold sensation brought an involuntary sigh to her mouth.


    It had been much too long since she had relaxed like this.


    Lamont just stood behind her, not knowing what to do.


    ¡°What are you standing there for?¡± Shaelyn turned her head to gaze at him and smiled, ¡°Try soaking your legs, it¡¯s pretty comfortable.¡±


    Lamont hesitated momentarily before he voiced out, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we seize the time we have to gather supplies?¡±


    ¡°Hah¡­ There¡¯s no need to be in such a rush. A low-level instance doesn¡¯t have that many certain death situations. Besides, we still have a one-hour grace period,¡± Shaelyn lightly swayed her feet to feel the refreshing coolness of the flowing stream, ¡°Other than having fun accomplishing the goal of the game, don¡¯t we also need to enjoy the game itself?¡±1


    Whilst thinking about that, Lamont sat down beside her, albeit with a little distance away.


    ¡°Why are you sitting so far away?¡± Shaelyn forcefully pulled him to her side and stuck to him like glue. She then rested her head on Lamont¡¯s shoulder, causing him to stiffen up.


    ¡°You¡¯ve never experienced something like this before, right?¡± She asked.


    Of course he didn¡¯t. This doofus never even held hands with girls before.


    Lamont didn¡¯t know what Shaelyn was thinking, so he only replied with a short answer.


    ¡°Then¡­ you¡¯ll be able to frequently experience this from now on,¡± Shaelyn lifted his hands and continued softly, ¡°I¡¯ll become someone you can rely on, your girlfriend.¡±


    Did she really want to start dating her past self?


    Of course not.


    She didn¡¯t even consider herself a girl.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    As for how she was able to act so feminine, that was because she didn¡¯t pointlessly insist on being a guy.2


    After experiencing death once, she had already thought through a lot of things.


    In this life, her goal was very simple¡ª Other than surviving the catastrophe, her other goal was to fulfill her past life¡¯s regrets.


    Whose regrets, you ask? Obviously the doofus beside her.


    She didn¡¯t plan to put herself out there and spoon-feed this guy. She just wanted to teach him not to be so dense so that he would be able to find a girlfriend by himself in the future. According to the system, so long as she accomplishes the system¡¯s goal, she¡¯ll be able to turn back into Lamont and share three sets of memories. One from her past life, another from Shaelyn¡¯s perspective, and the other from the current Lamont.


    In other words, the experiences of the current Lamont could also have a slight effect on her when they merge in the future.


    ¡ª¡ªAt least that¡¯s what the system said.


    If the system dared to lie to her¡­¡­


    Well, even if it did, there was nothing she could do in retaliation either.


    ¡¾The host is having a dangerous thought. I advise the host to trust me for the system will never lie.¡¿


    Oh, really?


    ¡¾Except when the system is bugged.¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    She suddenly didn¡¯t want to think about matters regarding the distant future anymore.


    After resting on Lamont¡¯s shoulder for a while, she opened her eyes, ¡°¡­Nngh, I¡¯ve rested enough. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Huh? You¡¯ve had enough?¡± Lamont said without thinking, ¡°You sure you don¡¯t want to rest a little longer?¡±3


    Although his initial excitement towards the game was high, after experiencing having a girl leaning against his body¡­ he couldn¡¯t help but want to experience that a little longer.


    ¡°No need,¡± Shaelyn naturally knew what this guy was thinking about, but she didn¡¯t plan to entertain him, ¡°For now¡­ I have a favor to ask of you.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Help me¡­¡± She suddenly lifted her legs from the water and directly placed them on Lamont¡¯s lap, ¡°Wipe my legs~!¡±


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    It was a free cleaning service, it would be a waste not to use it.


    The surprise Lamont received this time wasn¡¯t light, but more than that, with a pair of dripping wet legs pressing against his stomach, he didn¡¯t know where to place his hands.


    He had never taken the initiative to have close contact with girls before. The last few times were all initiated by Shaelyn, and now¡­ she wants him to wipe her legs?


    Can I¡­ really do it?


    ¡°You don¡¯t want to?¡± Shaelyn shook her legs.


    Ah¡­ this guy is too slow


    Lamont had a thigh complex, but that wasn¡¯t all¡­ He used to think he had a thing for flat-chest, but later on, he found that he was actually into big breasts. Then fast-forward in time, he discovered that he was also interested in pantyhose. It was then he realized he had a complex for legs¡­ But in the end, he was merely a big pervert.


    And what about Shaelyn? Her looks were entirely based on Lamont¡¯s taste, every aspect of her could satisfy his fetishes. That was the very reason why Lamont hesitated to touch her even if she initiated it.


    If it was too good to be true, people would start doubting if it was real.


    Such as the dream he had earlier this morning.


    He was afraid this was also a dream, so he wanted it to last a little longer.


    And thus, Shaelyn gave up on the notion.


    She knew her past self was a closet pervert, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be such a scaredy-cat.


    It seems like¡­ it won¡¯t be easy to turn this guy around¡­


    Shaelyn casually rubbed her legs against his clothes to wipe off the water, then she put on her shoes and got up, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. We can put our mind at ease the earlier we get the supplies.¡±


    The first batch of supplies was spread out near the player¡¯s starting point, and they were pretty easy to procure. This was so they could make sure the players could sufficiently defend themselves should they run into danger.


    The supplies were packed into a small black box and the inside was filled to the brim with guns and magazines.4


    There were five guns, all different models. Among them was a semi-automatic pistol known as the Desert Eagle5.


    However, there were only a limited number of magazines. Each gun only came with two matching magazines.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (You can support us by leaving words of appreciation on our site!)


    Apart from those, there were also some basic survival tools at the bottom of the box, such as knives, flints, and so on.


    Although there were only a few bullets available, these items were enough to make Lamont excited. He directly picked up the Desert Eagle and examined it with a huge grin as though it was his wife, ¡°Woah¡­ Is this really a gun? This feeling, this weight¡­ Damn, I love this game already.¡±6


    It was said that man¡¯s three biggest interests were cars, pistols, and ball games.7 Lamont was not an exception to this. He had been a fan of militaristic weapons for the longest time now and had a deep understanding of the various types of guns.8 Just that he had never held a real gun before.


    Now that he had a gun in his hands, he immediately put that knowledge to use. He pulled the slide and fixed it in place, loaded the magazines then allowed the slide to bounce back, and finally released the safety switch in one smooth motion.9


    Just when he was about to show off to Shaelyn, he found that she was already in a shooting position with an M1911 pistol and fired three consecutive shots. She seemed much more proficient than him as all the bullets found their marks on three unknown fruits on the tree.


    That caused him surprises to no end.


    Shaelyn very fluidly locked the safety switch and glanced at Lamont with her head askew. She then explained with a slight smile, ¡°My dad took me overseas to play with real guns during senior high. It¡¯s been a while since I last touched one so I¡¯m a bit rusty.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­Oh.¡±10


    The author thus far has already covered both ball games and guns, now it¡¯s just cars left.

 CH 9

    Naturally, she only said as much to dodge Lamont¡¯s question.


    During the early game, all the players were still rather weak1 and had to rely on external factors such as equipment and weapons to clear the instance. In the past, Shaelyn had spent a long time in the Safe Zone¡ª Imagine this, if you put a gun freak in an environment where they could use real guns as much as they like, just how good would they become by the end of the session?


    It¡¯s just that, regarding her body¡­


    Shaelyn had asked the system before, she was told that her base stats were a carbon copy of the current Lamont. In other words, she might look frail, but she was actually as strong as Lamont.


    But even if that was the case, this body¡¯s condition was far from reaching her peak form in the past.


    Though if she really had to fight against Lamont, she could easily flip him around like a spinning top.


    That was only in the early game, by the way. Once Lamont grows stronger, there would be no guarantee she could do the same.


    As such, she actually cherished the time she has now.


    She ought to educate him now while she could still beat him.


    With that said¡­¡­


    What could her superpower be?


    While Shaelyn was refamiliarizing herself with the firearm, her thoughts drifted somewhere far away.


    The biggest gift from [The God¡¯s Realm] to the players was without a doubt, superpowers! These superpowers will stick with the players for their entire lifetimes and they are humanity¡¯s only hope against the calamity.2


    The superpower would be unlocked once the players cleared the Battle Zone for the first time. Each player could only possess one superpower, each one unique in their own way. Moreover, not all of them were created equal either, some were strong while some were weak. As such, many players complained about how this setting was ruining the balance of the game since each player¡¯s starting line was not the same. Some of the powers were so powerful that one could say they were already at the finishing line from the start.


    Later, when the calamity struck, some came to realize that perhaps the powers were not granted by the game, but were instead humanity¡¯s latent potential that had yet to be tapped into. All [The God¡¯s Realm] did was to awaken these latent potentials.


    It was worth mentioning that every superpower could be honed and refined. However, the game wouldn¡¯t go as far as to guide each individual player towards their growth. It was up to the players themselves to discover the potential of their own power. In other words, there was no trash power in this world, only those who didn¡¯t know how to utilize them.


    However, under the same condition, the difference was indeed as clear as day.


    Naturally, one could also rely on external factors to close this gap such as using artifacts and equipment. However, one either needed enough money or power in order to acquire these babies.


    Due to that, the early game was the best period for these normal people with weak abilities to close the gap by getting accustomed to the equipment. Otherwise, once the real game starts, those with weak superpowers would fall into a death loop.


    You couldn¡¯t count on your superpower, you didn¡¯t have the strength to vie for resources from the strong players, and your rewards and game points were abysmally small, what could you do?


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    Of course, go upgrade your equipment and artifacts!


    How? With game points.


    Not enough game points?


    Then steal!


    What if you couldn¡¯t steal from the stronger players?


    Then go get yourself better equipment and artifacts!


    ¡­¡­


    Unfortunately, too many players didn¡¯t understand this point early on, so the gaps only grew bigger and wider over time.


    However, Shaelyn didn¡¯t really care about all that. She didn¡¯t have the mind to forewarn the world of the future calamity. Let¡¯s not mention how many people would trust her compared to how many would think she was crazy first, let¡¯s say if she really alerted the world, it probably wouldn¡¯t bring about any benefits other than panic and chaos.


    In order to see to her own safety during the calamity, she first had to gain enough strength. To do that, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid death in the Battle Zone a few times, at worst up to a hundred times. Even if the pain was reduced by 30%, the fear of death was very real. This was a very tortuous path and it was quite doubtful many people would have the resolve to face it.


    Moreover, even if she got stronger, there was no guarantee that she could live through the calamity.


    If that were to come to a pass, then she might as well go out with a bang!


    Let¡¯s not talk about the players who made money through the Battle Zone, there were too many hoodlums in that community. The reward was the same for every player who cleared the instance, so there were some groups that offered to carry other players through the instance so long as they pay a high enough sum. This was quite a common practice in Shaelyn¡¯s past life. In order to get stronger, one had to face the dangers head-on. The result one gained from these two different methods was as vast as the sky and the earth.


    Moreover, based on her past experience, humanity¡¯s counterattack wasn¡¯t weak at all even with no one to alert them. If it wasn¡¯t due to Shaelyn¡¯s own bad luck, she might not necessarily have to start all over again.


    In short, she should just mind her own business.


    Even to this day, the system didn¡¯t tell Shaelyn what her superpower was. If it was a weak ability, she would probably have to work harder than in her previous life to match with Lamont¡¯s pace.


    Meanwhile, the guy in question was¡­¡­


    Fiddling with the guns without a care in the world. Shaelyn immediately fell into a bad mood just from looking at him.


    To think she would become weaker than her past self¡­ The feeling of envy that arose from this was probably much deeper than from a hated enemy.


    Doofus.


    Stupid idiot.


    Shaelyn couldn¡¯t resist cursing internally.


    Then, Shaelyn revealed a smile and put down her gun. She made her way toward Lamont¡¯s back and hugged him from behind, ¡°Your posture is all wrong. Here, let me help you¡ª¡±


    Lamont became frozen solid.3


    Even though this was within the game, the soft feeling transmitted to his back felt almost the same as in reality. After all, he did experience this in real-life not too long ago. But even if this wasn¡¯t his first time anymore, this kind of intimate contact was still too much for his immune system.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    Naturally, Shaelyn could feel Lamont¡¯s body tensing up. She couldn¡¯t help but find it a little funny, ¡°Why are you getting so nervous? It¡¯s not like I¡¯d eat you or anything.¡±


    She didn¡¯t have anything to say if he reacted like this the first time, Shaelyn knew her past self was an innocent virgin anyway. However, she had already embraced him more than a few times, yet his reaction was still this big?


    He was a grown man for god¡¯s sake, yet he was as coy as a girl.


    She felt that if their bodies were swapped at this very moment, this scene would definitely not feel out of place.


    ¡°I, uh¡­ Ahem, this is my first time using a gun so I¡¯m a bit excited¡­¡± Lamont hurriedly made an excuse.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. You¡¯ll get used to it soon enough,¡± Shaelyn helped him adjust his posture and then released him, ¡°While playing this game, you¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities to play with all sorts of guns. More than enough for your own good. Anyway, try standing up and fire a few shots to get a feel of it.¡±


    What she said was a fact. Other than modern-day guns, there were also plenty of high-tech guns that only existed in Science Fiction for the users to play with.


    Unfortunately, Lamont¡¯s thoughts strayed into a different zone.


    Various guns¡­¡­


    He blushed.4


    She couldn¡¯t be¡­ hinting me or something, is she¡­?


    Although his mind was a huge mess, he still acted as though nothing was up on the surface. He got up, aimed the gun at a fruit, and pulled the trigger.


    Bang¡ª¡ª!


    The bullet hit the target dead center and turned the fruit into mush.


    Shaelyn couldn¡¯t help raising her brows in response, ¡°Wow! Nice aim~!¡±


    While a gun addict he may be, there was still always a huge difference between theoretical and practical. A beginner would have a hard time aiming with a gun for the first time, yet he did it perfectly. Moreover, the fruit was on the smaller size as well. The fact that he could hit the target despite all that proved he was already better than her when she first started out.


    As expected of myself.


    Lamont set the gun aside and smiled bashfully, ¡°Thanks for the praise¡­¡±


    Just now¡­ he was actually aiming for a different fruit.5


    But honestly speaking¡­ The feeling of pulling the trigger was so thrilling!

 CH 10

    With only a limited number of bullets, the two didn¡¯t waste too much in test shots. After a little bit of practicing, Shaelyn planned to take Lamont to search for a place to pass the night.


    Frankly speaking, no amount of practice would be more effective than experiencing a real battle once. Regardless of how much they practiced, they still wouldn¡¯t be able to react to a sudden change of event, and there were plenty of those in this game, which were also a lot more unpredictable than on real battlefields.


    It didn¡¯t matter how accurate one¡¯s aim was in this instance. After all, in this kind of forest terrain, most of their encounters would be in close quarters. Additionally, their gun¡¯s shooting range was only up to ten meters. It¡¯d be acceptable if they could at least hit the target, there would be no need to pursue perfect shots.


    The two only walked for a short distance before a system message suddenly popped up in every player¡¯s vision.


    ¡¾Notice: The Idol Safekeeping Association has arrived on the island. They are preparing to attack anyone on this island who they deemed to be the participants of this reality show. Please respond appropriately.¡¿


    ¡¾Notice: The Idol Safekeeping Association has found the supplies on this island and is working on securing said supplies.¡¿


    ¡¾Reward Duty Commenced: You¡¯ll earn 100 GP for each member of the association you killed.¡¿


    Almost at the same time, a sound akin to a broadcast resounded throughout the whole island.


    ¡°Down with masculinity!! Idols rule!!¡±1


    Killing intent could be felt in the voice of the woman who just spoke.


    That ought to be a member of the Idol Safekeeping Association.


    Hearing that, Lamont unconsciously lifted his gun and surveyed the area while in high alert.


    However, Shaelyn wasn¡¯t that worried about it, ¡°Relax, even if it¡¯s a game and all, they still need to follow the basic law. Since the association has just arrived on the island, they still have quite a distance from us.¡±


    Although this was an island, it had a really large surface area. Moreover, judging by their position on the radar, they should be in the heart of the island, so they were quite safe for the time being.2


    As for the second notice, what that meant was that if the players wanted to procure more supplies, it would be exponentially harder than getting the first batch. Actually¡­ the ¡°first batch¡± wasn¡¯t exactly the right term, the more appropriate words for it would be the supplies that were closest to the players. If the players didn¡¯t foresee this and get their hands on the supplies before then, they would be facing a hell of a start.3


    Having come to a realization, Lamont put away his gun, ¡°Hey, since we get 100 GP per kill¡­ should we try ambushing them?¡±


    ¡°No need, they¡¯ll come to find us eventually,¡± Shaelyn shook her head and glanced at the time. ¡°With three times the speed, it¡¯ll be dark before long, so we should find a safe place to stay before dusk.¡±


    The player¡¯s body condition followed the same flow of time as the instance. In other words, they would also feel hungry and sleepy three times as quickly. The game would treat all these conditions that¡¯d affect the player¡¯s action as a debuff.


    Although the game didn¡¯t display the HP bar, these debuffs would have a huge influence on the players. Moreover, their effects were much more pronounced than in reality.


    Such as now, for example, it was just about to hit evening and Lamont was already feeling a little famished even though there wasn¡¯t any indication of the debuff yet.


    ¡°¡­ Shouldn¡¯t it be fine without resting for the night?¡± Lamont pondered for a moment and proposed. ¡°Staying up all night isn¡¯t anything too hard, and knowing that there are enemies out there, we probably wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep soundly anyway. So why not take this chance and sneak into their camp to do a night raid? Who knows, maybe we can even get unexpected rewards.¡±


    He paused for a while then supplemented as if he had just thought of something, ¡°Besides, this is a game. Even if you don¡¯t sleep for a night, it shouldn¡¯t affect your skin or anything¡­¡±


    Shaelyn: ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    She almost lost her cool again.

    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    How¡­ can this guy be so stupid?


    The last part could totally be omitted alright? I wasn¡¯t even thinking of such things to begin with and he just had to mention it. It is fortunate that I don¡¯t really care about those kinds of things, but if he really said that to a girl who cared a lot about beauty, the consequences would be dire!


    That¡¯s a forbidden topic, you doofus!


    Besides, even if this is just a game, it would be fatal to view it as so!


    ¡®Who am I, where am I, I don¡¯t care, I just know that I have to start a massacre.¡¯ Those are the types of players who often died first, you know?! Use your brain a little and think, you idiot!


    Even though she was cursing at him so much in her mind, it didn¡¯t show on the surface and she just smiled at him instead. She reined in her anger and pulled Lamont¡¯s hand to explain, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that we are participating in a survival in the wilderness reality show. Our enemies aren¡¯t just the Idol Safekeeping Association. The beasts on this island can also pose a threat to us.¡±


    Lamont was taken aback, ¡°Ah¡­ sorry, I forgot about that point.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Shaelyn pulled his hand and swung it back and forth, ¡°Just take your time and learn slowly, nobody starts out as a big shot. You just need to accumulate more experience one step at a time.¡±


    Lamont could feel his heart melting.


    Even though she was a pampered young lady, she still knows how to empathize with people¡­


    Or maybe because¡­ he was the target of her affection?


    As he came to that conclusion, a burst of fighting spirit welled up in his heart.


    It seemed like he would need to work hard in order to meet her expectations.


    But survival in the wilderness huh¡­ Now that he thought about it, he did watch a few of such related shows. Now, what did the people in those shows do again?


    ¡°Hm? Isn¡¯t that a cave?¡± Shaelyn¡¯s voice pulled Lamont back from his thoughts.


    Turning back to look at the nearby cliff, there seemed to be a cave over there.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look, it might be a nice spot to spend the night,¡± Shaelyn pulled out her pistol and led the way.


    Lamont also pulled out his gun and followed after her, ¡°Be careful¡­ maybe I should be the one walking in front so I can better protect you in case something happens.¡±


    Shaelyn turned her head to glance at him, then she smiled and made a go-ahead gesture, ¡°Very good, Mr. Hero, go~!¡±


    Tsk, he¡¯s so dull in other areas, and yet he doesn¡¯t need someone to teach him how to act heroically in front of girls.


    However, didn¡¯t he know that his action was actually detrimental in reality? The girls would just treat him as a handyman and nothing more¡­


    At best, he would only receive the ¡°good guy¡± status.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    He was still young¡­ and stupid.


    Looking at him rushing headlong into the cave excitedly, Shaelyn supplemented in her heart.


    Mayhap Lamont had yet to have any dark experience due to his current environment. Therefore, the current Lamont could still be described with one word, naive. Even as rational as he was, he could only ponder over the question within his realm of understanding, and this kind of Lamont was too easy for her to toy with in the palm of her hands.


    From his earlier reaction, Shaelyn could tell he already considered her a girlfriend-to-be, or maybe even a wife-to-be. If he didn¡¯t feel it was possible for him to connect with the girl, he wouldn¡¯t have spent an ounce of effort to impress her. Once he started to act, he would think it was time for him to showcase his manliness.


    In fact, Shaelyn4 had done the same plenty of times in the past¡­ she would say the same line to other girls, but it was a pity those acts of folly never bore fruit.


    Now that she was looking at that very same act from a third-person perspective, she even thought he was so simple that it was a little cute.


    However¡­ if this guy was to really meet a scheming b?i?t?c?h?, he wouldn¡¯t even know how he was being played with. One only needed to express goodwill and offer him a few material benefits, and they would have hooked a good half of him without any difficulties.


    Shaelyn helplessly heaved a sigh.


    She suddenly felt that it was a very difficult task to watch over this guy.


    ¡­¡­If there¡¯s a chance in the future, maybe I can give him some advice.

 CH 11

    The area discovered by Shaelyn was indeed a cave, quite a spacious one at that. Moreover, the ceiling of the cave protrudes outwards to form a natural awning, making it the perfect place to spend the night.


    Furthermore, in consideration of the enemies they could possibly encounter at night, the overgrown weeds near the cave entrance could not only provide cover for them but also help them get away easily if something did happen.


    Although safety was still a concern, it should at least be a lot safer than sleeping in an open field.


    Since they had secured an area to sleep, the next step was to prepare dinner.


    The supplies box provided them with survival tools, but in regards to food and other such things, they must provide for themselves. This was a pretty easy task for Shaelyn, what with her prior hunting experiences, the right tools, and a little bit of luck. It didn¡¯t take too long for her to come back with the spoils of her hunt, a wild boar.


    Lamont, who was following by her side all this time, had an astonished and stupefied expression.


    When Shaelyn pointed out the goal of this game was to survive in the wilderness, he honestly thought that it was his time to show off. After all, he had watched enough shows of the related genre, he was a military addict who finally got his hands on a gun, and adding on to that, his rich experience in hunting games had given him extensive knowledge in the weak points of their prey.


    Once all these factors were put together, he should¡¯ve been unbeatable in this instance.


    Starting from the most basic points, he understood that the head, the heart, and the lungs being the target¡¯s weakest points was a massive misconception by most people. Not to mention that Lamont also had experience tracking down the prey.


    From that point of view, it seemed as though this setting was specially prepared by the game for Lamont to show off.


    But then, how did it turn actually out? Shaelyn noticed the wild boar¡¯s footprints and tracked it down before him, then she took it down with one shot of her large-caliber handgun before he could even take aim with his Desert Eagle.


    He was¡­ quite despondent.


    He didn¡¯t know Shaelyn was actually this strong¡­


    Shaelyn knew what Lamont was thinking upon noticing the disappointed look on his face. Though it felt like utter nonsense to her. She was capable of doing anything he could do and possessed even more skills than him, where could he even begin to compare?


    She naturally knew he wanted to show off, who wouldn¡¯t want a chance to prove themselves in front of a pretty girl? But now wasn¡¯t the time and place for him to do that. Just a bit of carelessness and they could get a party wipe, that was why she didn¡¯t take his feelings into consideration.


    However¡­ if there was a chance, she would let him put on a show for a bit.


    ¡°Lamont, can you help me carry this guy back?¡± After confirming the kill, Shaelyn asked Lamont while tilting her head, then she continued with a smile, ¡°Or should we carry it together?¡±


    ¡°Ah, no need, I¡¯ll be fine by myself,¡± Lamont tossed his grievance to the back of his head and walked over as he put his gun away. He lifted up the wild boar on his shoulder in one go and said, ¡°I can handle this little bit of¡­ Oof¡ª! I can¡­ handle this weight¡­¡±


    Why is this so friggin heavy!


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation!)


    Seeing how unsteady he was on his feet, Shaelyn asked in concern, ¡°Are you okay? Want me to help?¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Lamont clenched his teeth, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll be fine!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­Alright.¡±


    Just keep it up then, keep it up and suffer by yourself¡­ idiot.


    It was fortunate the cave wasn¡¯t too far from here so it wasn¡¯t an impossible task to carry the spoils back by himself. After that was done, the next agenda was to collect firewood and prepare dinner.


    ¡°Lamont, can you go collect some dry woods from nearby? I¡¯ll prepare the meat.¡± While instructing Lamont, Shaelyn retrieved the knife and readied herself to cut the meat.


    Lamont immediately cut in, ¡°Are you sure? Should I cut the meat instead?¡±


    Was it really a good idea to let a girl do such a bloody deed?


    Wouldn¡¯t she be scared?1


    ¡°I¡¯ll be fine, my dad taught me some survival skills when we went on an overseas trip once. I have done this before.¡± Shaelyn played the almighty father card.


    Lamont easily bought that lie, ¡°Oh¡­ fine then, I¡¯ll go collect the firewood.¡±


    Then he suddenly realized that¡­ Shaelyn was a lot different from what he imagined.


    He originally thought that she was a graceful young lady from a wealthy family, but now¡­ the impression she gave him was more like a strong-willed girl.


    But¡­ yeah, she¡¯s quite compatible with me¡­ I like her.


    Shaelyn momentarily glanced at Lamont¡¯s back as he left the cave, then she bowed her head and prepared to cut the meat.


    She knew this kind of setting was a bit too excessive, especially for a rich young lady like herself. However, other than that, she didn¡¯t know how else to explain her skills as there were no other alternatives.


    Actually, Lamont preferred the cute and helpless-looking girls, more so the types that relied on him.


    Of course, Shaelyn could act like that to please Lamont, but it was impossible for her to maintain the act forever. To be blunter, those types of girls wouldn¡¯t be able to get far in this game. If they didn¡¯t become a leech, then they¡¯d become cannon fodder in the war, or both.


    During the late stage of the game, the true powerhouse would only rely on themselves, and only themselves. No matter how close they were to their friends, it was illogical to entrust their lives to them. Even if their friends were the trustworthy sort, they might not necessarily have enough strength to carry the burden.


    (This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)


    (If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen without consent. Please support us by visiting our site.)


    A time will come when Lamont eventually understood all this. With his personality, he wouldn¡¯t allow a leech to follow him. Therefore, Shaelyn had to make him understand that she was not a powerless damsel to prevent the future where she was abandoned.


    The question of whether to put up an act or not¡­ Shaelyn could do that, yes, but that depended on the situation. As the saying goes, if you keep up the act for too long, you might eventually come to believe your own lie. She couldn¡¯t allow herself to relax, because once she did, she might not be able to maintain her tension anymore.


    This was especially true since she had already experienced death once. Sometimes, acceptance wasn¡¯t necessarily a good thing. It was just that¡­ she wasn¡¯t sure if Lamont would like the current ways she acted.


    Although she never experienced it herself in the past, she knew very well that¡­ Lamont, her past self, wasn¡¯t too interested in able women.


    Sigh¡­ Maybe I should let Lamont show off for a bit.


    ¡¾Suggestion: The host can propose to conduct copulation with the main body. If the main body becomes engrossed with the host¡¯s body2, it will be unlikely for the main body to abandon the host.¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡¾The host can be at ease, this body was made to be 100% compatible with the main body.¡¿


    ¡°In other words, you made this body as Lamont¡¯s personal sex toy?¡± Shaelyn fiercely stabbed the wild boar twice to give vent as she asked with a low, threatening tone.


    ¡¾¡­¡­A girl shouldn¡¯t use such vulgar language.¡¿


    ¡°Then stop proposing such a ridiculous idea in the future. I won¡¯t do it!¡±


    ¡¾Why is the host rejecting the idea? Isn¡¯t copulation the oldest kind of happiness that humans strive for?3¡¿


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go copulate with that bugged system inside Lamont?¡±


    ¡¾¡­¡­Impossible to accomplish.¡¿


    ¡°Then shut up.¡± After pausing for a while, Shaelyn continued, ¡°That reminds me, the first instance has already started, don¡¯t you have any tips?¡±


    ¡¾¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Bonus Mission: You¡¯ll gain 100 bonus points for each member of the Idol Safekeeping Association you defeated.¡¿


    ¡¾Bonus Mission: You¡¯ll gain 3,000 bonus points for clearing the instance.¡¿


    ¡¾Extra Mission: Clearing the instance with S-rank evaluation will grant you one gacha ticket.¡¿


    Shaelyn became silent for a moment as she read over the three missions that were issued at once.

    Wonderful Misunderstanding


    1. She was called Shaelyn by the previous translator, i decided to maintain the Chinese name, not sure if it¡¯s really this one. If it¡¯s wrong let me know and i¡¯ll change it.


    2. Same thing, Lamont is originally Ling Mo (i think).


    3. Ti¨¡n j¨© means Space-based.


    4. Ìì»ù (Ti¨¡n j¨©) sounds like ÌＦ (Ti¨¢nj¨©), therefore, frog.


    5. Not sure the exact translation because it got cut in the middle, the original is ¡± ÎÒÌýÄãºö¡­¡­ ¡°


    6. Don¡¯t know if it means there¡¯s restrictions where it shouldn¡¯t be or the opposite, the original says ¡± ÆäÖеĸ÷ÖÖÓÎÏ·¹æÔòÊ®·Ö¸´ÔÓ£¬¸ÃÓÐÏÞÖƵĵط½Ò»µãÏÞÖƶ¼²»»áÉÙ£¬ÏëÒªÍêÈ«Á˽⻹µÃÏÂÒ»·¬¹¦·ò¡£µ«ÒªÊÇÀí½âµÃͨ͸£¬Õâ¸öÓÎÏ·µÄ¹æÔòÒ²Óв»ÉÙ¿ÉÒÔÈÃÍæ¼ÒÀûÓõġ£¡±

    EDIT: Not sure if ¡°friendly injuries¡± is the right translation, in the future i may change it to ¡°injury¡± only.


    Phew, finally finished it. Hello readers! I¡¯m a new translator (or proofreader if you think about it) that someday looked at his own novel library and thought:


    ¡®damn, i wish this/that novel didn¡¯t get on hiatus/dropped, it looked interesting. If no one is gonna translate it, why not myself?¡¯


    And there you have it (lol). I¡¯m by no means qualified to translate stuff, not only i need MTL to read raws, i¡¯m not even a native English speaker. Still, i wanted to try this as a hobby and share it to fellow novel lovers, i hope that it was readable and you had fun.


    About the schedule release, i can¡¯t promise anything, i¡¯m a student and have two part-time jobs to help pay stuff at home, so i¡¯m going to translate this novel as i feel like it.


    If you find any errors just tell in the comments and i will fix it. That¡¯s all for now.

 CH 13

    I_am_in_Love.JPG


    It took Ling Mo half an hour (in the game) to fully read and understand the injury judgment rules.


    It''s just... outrageous.


    "The subdivision rules of this injury judgment are almost as much as all the rules of an ordinary game."


    While eating the tasteless meat Ling Mo couldn''t help mumbling.


    He didn''t think much about Xia Xinyan''s shooting just now. After all it was just a game, and it wasn''t really killing people¡ª¡ª in other words, the total number of people he killed in games before probably equaled the total population of a small county. Well, if someone really wants to object to this kind of move it shouldn''t be him.


    Although the experience of this virtual reality game may be different from that on the computer... but he felt about the same.


    And...Xia Xinyan is really decisive, and her marksmanship is so good.


    Obviously at first he thought he could take her to fly, but now it looks like he was taken by her.1


    At this moment Ling Mo secretly made up his mind, he must quickly become familiar with this game and strive to become the one that will bring Xia Xinyan to the sky as soon as possible.


    While eating meat Xia Xinyan went to check the supplies dropped by the previous two players.


    Quite a lot, in addition to guns and ammunition there is even a simple tent and two sleeping bags.


    I just fell asleep and someone gave me a pillow.2


    "Looks like i can sleep well tonight."


    Moving the tent and sleeping bags into the cave Xia Xinyan clapped her hands and said with a smile.


    "It''s getting late, let''s rest after eating."


    Ling Mo nodded, then seemed to think of something and asked suddenly.


    "By the way, those two players... will they seek revenge from us afterwards?"


    He just thought of this problem, because this game is almost equivalent to reality so the hatred of being killed by players in it will definitely be more severe than that of ordinary PVP games. If you encounter someone who is a little bit more tempered, it may be a continuous fight for revenge.


    "No."


    Xia Xinyan sat down beside him and explained softly.


    "The game doesn''t provide this kind of information, as long as you don''t add friends in the dungeon they won''t be able to find the list of other players that the stage chose after leaving it."


    Yes, this is also to prevent the predominance of revenge among players.


    The original intention of ¡¶The God¡¯s Realm¡·3 is to provide an environment that can quickly improve the strength so that human beings can better face the natural disasters that will come in the future. If revenge prevails it will inevitably destroy this environment, which is contrary to the original intention of the game.


    It¡¯s okay to want revenge, first find a way to add friends and then follow the basic law to PK, or simply fight IRL4 in which isn''t within the scope of the game. It doesn''t matter if you kill someone, but as long as you are in the game you have to follow the rules.


    Moreover, there are restrictions and penalties for voluntarily exiting the dungeon in the non-dead state, you are not allowed to enter the dungeon in the war zone for three days, but there is no such restriction in the safe zone. Of course, it has nothing to do with Xia Xinyan.


    She doesn''t have the time to play in the safe zone, it''s like an adult playing house to her, it doesn''t make any sense.


    Newbies can accumulate experience in advance through the safe zone, but she doesn''t need it. And with her around Ling Mo also doesn''t need to.


    After dinner, the two moved the fire to the cave which could cover it up as much as possible. As for the oxygen problem, the cave is large enough and the internal passage is not long, so nothing will happen during the night.5


    Ling Mo set up a tent on the innermost side, in a space that can fit two sleeping bags, but if two people sleep together... it will be a bit crowded.


    Seeing this, Ling Mo was quite self-conscious.


    "I''ll keep watch at night, you just go to sleep."


    Xia Xinyan checked her status bar, and now there are two negative status of ¡¶Sleepy¡· and ¡¶Fatigue¡·.6


    Ling Mo has the same physical fitness as herself, so it is not difficult to guess that he is the same now, so she didn''t intend to play tricks on him


    "No, let''s sleep together, it''s just a game, rest and get rid of the negative state. It''s better than to keep watch all night."


    Ling Mo paused.


    "Ah...then what if someone finds this cave at night..."


    "I''ll notice."


    Xia Xinyan pulled him into the tent.


    "Don''t worry, whether it''s a player or an enemy they won''t attack us as soon as they come in."


    Ling Mo still felt that something was wrong.


    "No... even if there is no one... just in case a snake comes in at night or something..."


    "There''s a fire, those guys won''t come near."


    Xia Xinyan simply hugged his arm and said with a sad tone.


    "Or...you don''t want to sleep with me?"


    "...!"


    Ling Mo was shocked.


    Together...together...the two of them...sleep together?!"7


    No... no, this development is too fast...


    Although it is in the game... although...


    But... don''t you want to avoid attention...?


    ¡ª¡ªEven if the tent is very dark Xia Xinyan can still see that this guy is struggling now.


    It''s the same as if a girl heard her boyfriend ask "Can I go to your house tonight?"


    Once again, Xia Xinyan refreshed her understanding of herself.


    She knew that she was lustful but not courageous, but she never expected to be so cowardly.


    Can''t you be more frank when a girl attacks with a straight ball like this?! It''s not him who is at a disadvantage!


    And it''s just a game! A game!


    She really thought that if she invited this guy to sleep with her in reality he would crash on the spot.


    Stupid.


    Xia Xinyan couldn''t help but complain in her mind8, she directly zipped up the tent, then turned around and pushed Ling Mo onto the sleeping bag.


    "Then it''s decided, we''ll sleep together like this tonight~!"


    "No... ah... i..."


    Ling Mo wanted to say something else, but Xia Xinyan suddenly stretched out her hand, blocked his mouth, leaned down, and almost pressed her whole body on him, with the distance between the two of them so close that they could feel each other''s breath.


    "Shhh! Be good, it''s time to rest."


    After letting him down with a small laugh, Xia Xinyan turned over and lay beside him with her back facing him, closed her eyes and began to rest.


    She really intends to sleep, because in this situation, trying to keep herself in top condition is the best choice, and based on the experience she has gained in her previous life, she is confident that she will wake up and deal with any abnormalities as soon as possible.


    Of course, the difficulty of this dungeon is also one of the considerations for her to make this move. The low-difficulty dungeon will not have a scenario of meeting and killing, so there is nothing to worry about.


    If she had to say it, their biggest threat now should be other players, but among them... there shouldn''t be anyone who kills as soon as they come up.


    Then rest assured and sleep well.


    However, Xia Xinyan can feel it clearly, Ling Mo is not in a great state of mind.


    He is still maintaining the posture that he was pushed against just now, and he is looking at the top of the tent with dull eyes.


    His mind is full of what Xia Xinyan did just now.


    Pressing on him, the few seconds of contact.


    This is the first time he feels... that he is in love.


    TL notes


    1. Pretty obvious, but for those that don¡¯t read many novels ¡°flying¡± is basically carrying a player in a videogame.


    2. It¡¯s a manner of saying, she is not sleeping lol.


    3. Taken directly from Re:Library, the direct translation would be ¡°God¡¯s Realm¡± or ¡°God¡¯s Landing¡±


    4. IRL = In Real Life. The direct translation was ¡± »òÕ߸ɴàÏßÏÂÕæÈË¿ì´ò ¡± or ¡°offline Mortal Kombat¡±, so yeah¡­


    5. I don¡¯t think is was clear before, but the bonfire was outside the cave. I may change a little the previous chapter to make it more obvious.


    6. I decided that the game will use ¡¶¡·, and the system ¡¾¡¿. Hope it¡¯s not confusing, if needed i can change it to another one, just say in the comments.


    7. Another butchered line, *sigh*. ¡± Ò»¡­¡­Ò»¡­¡­Ò»Ò»Ò»¡­¡­Ò»Æð˯£¿!¡± directly translating to ¡°One¡­one¡­one by one¡­sleep together? !¡± in which one (Ò») means single.


    8. I put mind, but most cases directly translates to heart, but i¡¯m pretty sure it¡¯s just the way Chinese is. Previous chapter the same thing, the line about calling the system in her mind is actually ¡°calling in her heart¡±


    Another chapter finished. And this time it only took half the time to translate (1 hr) yay! Again, i¡¯m not going to translate everyday, only when i feel like it, and about the remaining chapters (the novel is already finished) if i ever translate it, i will only go until the last free chapter, chapter 73 ¡¯cause i feel like a little scummy to basically pirate VIP chapters, even if i have paid for them and CAN read it.


    Anyway, if any of you found some typos just say in the comments, peace!


    EDIT: The third paragraph was translated wrongly, what it really means is there¡¯s as many injury rules as all the rules of any normal game.

 CH 14

    Then There Is Only One Answer


    Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.


    This night was the first time in Ling Mo''s life that he slept with a girl in the same place. Although he didn''t know it, he was ahead of his previous life on this point...


    Oh, she never slept with a girl in her previous life, it''s fine.


    But this was already Xia Xinyan''s sorrow.


    It''s just that she doesn''t feel sad about it now. Because compared with this, there is a more pressing matter¡ª¡ª


    After this guy fell asleep he pinned her down with his head buried directly in front of her chest, while his arms were gently wrapped around her as he slept soundly.


    If Xia Xinyan hadn''t been able to perceive that he was indeed asleep she would really think that he did it on purpose.


    She was wondering why this guy was so bold all of a sudden.


    But... it made her unable to sleep...


    Feeling the strangeness in her chest Xia Xinyan pursed her lips while lying on her back, staring at the top of the tent lost in thought.


    It is now four o''clock in the game, not far from dawn, and her status bar has returned to normal so there is no point in going back to sleep.


    But she is sure that Ling Mo will sleep more than her. After all, she also knows how it is for a virgin to sleep with a girl.


    Rather, she really felt that if she had encountered such a scene back then her heart would be jumping out from her chest.1


    Even if you don''t do anything, this kind of thing is too exciting for an innocent little virgin


    So... considering that Ling Mo might not be getting enough sleep, Xia Xinyan didn''t wake him up.


    Mobbing2 and the like... She herself doesn''t care much about this kind of thing, after all, she is not a real girl, as long he doesn''t try "sleeping"3 with her everything else is fine.


    ...No, it''s also not okay to see her body.


    In this regard, she is quite conservative. After all, in her previous life, even her roommates had never seen her naked body as a male. In this life, she has become a girl, and it is even less likely for others to see her.


    Not to mention that even if Ling Mo is herself, from the moment she became Xia Xinyan, she subconsciously regarded Ling Mo as an independent individual.


    If she had to say it, she considered Ling Mo herself in a parallel world, she could bring in her former self to figure out his actions and psychology, but she wouldn''t treat him completely as herself and be defenseless against him¡ª¡ª defenseless in various senses.


    Of course, now is a exception.


    Tsk, she is really considerate.


    But...by the way, why is my4 sleeping position so stupid?


    She has been sleeping alone since the third grade of elementary school, she never tried what it would be like to sleep with other people. Now it seems... probably not very peaceful.


    And just when she was thinking about some random things the black shadow passing by outside the tent instantly attracted her attention.


    She immediately grabbed the pistol on the side, raised it and aimed in that direction.


    The fire outside the tent hadn''t been extinguished yet, and the shadow reflected by the fire seemed to be approaching them, the


    movements were so light that she could barely hear footsteps.


    If there is only one person, it can be judged by this behavior that it should not be someone from the Idol Protection Association. As an enemy NPC who is looking for players, the IPA5 has no reason nor need to be so cautious.


    Then it should be another player.


    Seeing the black figure stop in front of the tent, Xia Xinyan''s gun was already aimed at the zipped entrance.


    Then, the black figure suddenly squatted down and gently pulled the tent open.


    When the figure carefully opened the tent to the extent that it could come in, what appeared in front of it was the muzzle of a gun.


    There was a moment of silence.


    Then the person quietly put down the tent again, slowly helped zip it up, turned and ran.


    "Stop."


    Under the silence, Xia Xinyan''s voice was not high, but it was especially loud in the cave.


    The person outside stopped.


    "Sister! Don''t shoot! I was wrong! I was obsessed with supplies6, I just wanted to touch some, I didn''t want to kill anyone, really!"


    The voice is that of a girl, and it''s quite pleasant.


    This sound also awakened Ling Mo who was sleeping. He reacted very quickly, and before he even figured out the situation he subconsciously took his own pistol and aimed it directly at the outside of the tent.


    "Who?!"


    In the next second, he suddenly realized how bad his current position was.


    This softness on his face...could it be...?!


    "Are you awake?"


    Xia Xinyan''s voice came from below without much emotion, and Ling Mo finally realized the current posture of the two of them.


    He was on top of her?! Also7...


    He hurriedly rolled over from Xia Xinyan''s body. Although his face had already heated up to the point that he felt hot, he still could tell what was going on.


    "Who is outside?!"


    That figure... when did it come?!


    Did Xia Xinyan find her first?


    "Brother! Brother! Don''t do anything, i''m really not hostile!"


    The girl outside yelled.


    "I just saw a cave over here and wanted to come and have a look, don''t be like this, we''re all players, let''s keep a line between each other, right?"


    Xia Xinyan got up, opened the tent and walked out, only then did she really see what that girl looked like.


    Attractive¡ª¡ª nonsense, there is probably no unattractive person in this game, and it is actually hard to be amazed after seeing so many of them.


    But it''s worth mentioning that her face... she recognizes it.


    And she''s surprised.


    This girl''s name is Murong Yue. In her previous life, she was ranked 57th in the power rankings, and because of her special ability she even has the strength to duel players within the top 20 with a good chance of winning.


    But what impressed Xia Xinyan was not her strength, but her character.


    This girl... is a snake spirit8, in more ways than one.


    "Sister... sister... put the gun down first, it looks scary, if it goes off it will be bad, right?"


    Murong Yue persuaded earnestly, while retreating to the entrance of the cave slowly, looking pitiful.


    It''s a pity that Xia Xinyan, who has seen this guy''s true character in her previous life isn''t deceived.


    "Stop, put your head in your hands and squat down on the spot."


    "No... sister, there''s no need to do this..."


    "Or I''ll shoot."


    Murong Yue immediately crouched on the spot with her head in her hands.


    Ling Mo also came out of the tent at this time and looked at the girl for a while with a strange expression.


    "A player?"


    "That''s right! A player!"


    Murong Yue nodded vigorously.


    "We''re all players so why bother each other? right! We should face the enemy with each other and welcome a bright future together, right? It''s good for everyone to cooperate and clear the dungeon, isn''t it? Even if you kill me, you won''t get anything, i have nothing on me, really!"


    Ling Mo paused for a moment, then tilted his head to look at Xia Xinyan.


    He basically doesn''t know how to deal with things involving girls. After all, there is no content in the previous games to arrest girls and torture players¡ª¡ª if there is one, it must be R18. In most of the games all he has to do is kill, he rarely thinks about other aspects, and he''s too lazy to deal with them.


    So he planned to see what will Xia Xinyan do.


    "What''s your name?"


    Xia Xinyan still remaining vigilant walked to Murong Yue''s side and began to search her body.


    Murong Yue shuddered subconsciously, but she restrained herself and answered.


    "Murong Yue."


    "Murong Yue, I''ll give you two options now¡ª¡ª"


    "It goes without saying that there is only one answer. I choose to swear allegiance to you¡ª¡ª so who should I call the boss? Do you want me to go outside and fetch a stick?"


    "..."

 CH 15

    Found a Hunk


    That''s why Xia Xinyan said that she''s a snake spirit.


    And not only the spirit is a snake, but the personality too.


    In the previous life many people were fooled by her sand sculpture1 appearance, and in the end they didn''t even know how they were cheated to death.


    But at least now... she shouldn''t be as immoral as in her previous life. After all, she was still playing games normally in the early stage, if it has nothing to do with life and death there is no need to be so aggressive.


    But even so, the snake essence can be seen now.


    For example, the sentence just now, if you just think about it you can know her intentions. Now she really has nothing on her body, and the most important thing is that she has no weapons to defend herself. After the second day starts it will be the late stage of the dungeon and the difficulty will inevitably increase, if there is no self-defense weapon at this point it can be said that there is no hope of clearing the stage.


    So as long as there is a chance it is the best to hug a golden thigh2, at least it will give her some means of self-protection.


    And if Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo are just temporary partners, then Murong Yue''s question "Who is the boss" just now may cause a dispute between her and Ling Mo, letting Murong Yue catch some fish in the troubled water3.


    Of course... it''s also possible that she said it without thinking.


    However, the game and reality were filled with all kinds of calculations and deceptions in the late game in her previous life, even now it still makes Xia Xinyan subconsciously scheme.


    So she did not intend to keep Murong Yue by her side.


    "We don''t want dead weight."


    She slowly knelt down in front of Murong Yue and said softly.


    "I can give you two guns and some ammunition as help, but this help is not free¡ª¡ª if you pass the dungeon, after you get out, i will ask you half of the base game points of this dungeon."


    Murong Yue nodded without even thinking.


    "Okay! No problem!"


    "Then let''s add each other as friends first."


    Xia Xinyan sent her a friend request, then found two guns and a few magazines from her backpack, giving them to Murong Yue.


    "I don''t need to teach you how to use them, do i?"


    "No need, no need, i know how to use guns."


    Murong Yue laughed, and put away the gun as if she was afraid that Xia Xinyan would regret it.


    "A good person live a safe life, so it has nothing to do with me, right?"


    "Go."


    Murong Yue turned around and ran away, very fast.


    Xia Xinyan stood up and stared at her back for a while with an inexplicable expression on her face.


    She didn''t expect to meet her in the first dungeon.


    Although she is a girl with a snake spirit, if Xia Xinyan can get acquainted with her then Murong Yue is a good ally, and she will definitely not lose out on the initial investment.


    Just not yet.


    The current Murong Yue is just a newbie to ¡¶The God¡¯s Realm¡·, maybe she doesn''t even fully understand the rules of the game, bringing her by her side is likely to be a drag, Ling Mo alone made Xia Xinyan a little bit troubled, and bringing two was really beyond her tolerance, not to mention that her place is not a nursery school.


    Furthermore, she still knows about the butterfly effect, if she rashly interferes with Murong Yue''s progress it may cause the other party to take a completely unrelated path. Especially now that the first dungeon is extremely important to all players¡ª¡ª it doesn''t matter whether it is different or not, what matters is whether the player will like this game, which is basically determined through the first stage.


    The first dungeon can also be said to be the weakest of all for players. Without any experience and no special abilities, if you die in this dungeon and enjoy another 70% pain death, you will probably hate this game directly. At that time, no matter how strong the ability is, it is useless if it is not activated.


    Xia Xinyan could at most help Murong Yue in the first dungeon, as for the rest she couldn''t control it.


    The focus now is to let herself and Ling Mo activate their abilities first or... make him like this game.


    Only when this is done can she think about other aspects.


    Seeing her let Murong Yue go Ling Mo was still a little puzzled.


    "Why not let her partner with us?


    Xia Xinyan gave him a sideways glance and said with a bit of resentment in her tone.


    "Do you... want to bring other girls?"


    She looked quite like a poor girl who was abandoned by a man after a night together.


    ¡ª¡ªMainly, this metaphor is true in some aspects. After all, Ling Mo slept with her in his arms all night, and he took advantage of it.


    Immediately, Ling Mo felt guilty.


    "No... i mean... well, actually i don''t want her to join us..."


    Xia Xinyan smiled again.


    "Okay, i''m just kidding. It''s getting late, i''ll go prepare breakfast."


    This guy... is really easy to handle.


    While she was complaining about Ling Mo in her mind, he was moved by her again.


    Prepare breakfast...


    So sweet...


    For the first time in his life he experienced the feeling of having a girl prepare breakfast for him after waking up.


    This is... heaven...


    Breakfast was the leftover wild pork from last night, Xia Xinyan smoked a few portions for today''s food. The taste is definitely not very good but it''s enough to fill your stomach, the dungeon will end today and all negative effects will disappear after leaving the dungeon, a little impact at this time is nothing.


    After finishing breakfast casually it was almost dawn outside, and the forest was still a little dark before the sun rose.


    The game mentioned that the background of this dungeon is a one-day reality show of survival in the wilderness, so the plot should end around 1 o''clock today. According to the standard script the most difficulty stage of the dungeon will happen by the end, so it''s better to start getting ready now.


    What Xia Xinyan wanted to do was to hunt down the association at the supply point.


    Of course, it would be best if Ling Mo could do it. After all, the task issued by the system was targeted at him.


    And when he heard that she was going to hunt the IPA, Ling Mo was inevitably excited¡ª¡ª


    This is what the game is all about!


    The forest shootout was more exciting than CS4, it even made him forget about the events of last night.


    Until Xia Xinyan suddenly turned around, pushed him to the ground with all her strength and pressed on him.


    "!"


    Looking at Xia Xinyan who was suddenly pressing on him, Ling Mo was dumbfounded.


    He... was pushed?!


    What is she going to do?!


    Could it be... she... she...5


    "Who are you guys?!"


    A female voice suddenly came, interrupting Ling Mo''s delusions.


    He subconsciously turned his head to look and found several women in pink clothes with submachine guns and rifles rushing out of the nearby bush, with three large words written on their chests¡ª¡ª [Little Fresh Meat], and on the bottom is a love heart.


    Although the taste is weird, the danger is not low at all. Ling Mo is not a fool, he quickly realized that they were found.


    Immediately afterwards Xia Xinyan suddenly rode onto Ling Mo''s waist and directly grabbed his neck.


    "I found a hunk! I''ve subdued him! Sisters, go find someone else!"


    "..."

    Poor Kid


    Her sudden change from attitude to momentum even made Ling Mo think for a moment that she had been taken away by someone.


    But he didn''t resist, mainly because he didn''t want to hurt her, and besides... there were several girls with rifles.


    And through his surprised look Xia Xinyan could guess what he was thinking.


    After all, he just started playing the game so it is normal for him to not be able to react to many things immediately.


    But she didn''t have the time or opportunity to explain it to him now.


    "He''s a participant?"


    The girls on the side looked at the two of them for a moment, then pointed to Ling Mo and asked.


    Xia Xinyan continued to hold Ling Mo''s neck and said.


    "I don''t know, but this guy is not fresh meat1 at all, so it''s definitely right to kill him, down with machoism!2 The world belongs to fresh meat!"


    "That''s right!"


    Xia Xinyan also showed a look of excitement.


    "Hurry up and find someone else, leave him to me!"


    "All right sister, be careful!"


    The girls responded, turning around to leave.


    Xia Xinyan immediately bent down and almost stuck to Ling Mo''s body. On the surface it seemed that she was exerting her greatest strength to strangle him to death, but in Ling Mo''s case she hadn''t used any of her strength on his neck¡ª¡ª at least at the present, and now he finally realized she was acting.


    But acting is acting, being so close to her again still made him blush for a moment and his heartbeat increase, the soft touch coming from his chest was like a poison to him.


    Addictive poison.


    However Xia Xinyan didn''t let him indulge for too long, letting go of one hand and handing him a gun from an angle that those girls couldn''t see, whispering in his ear.


    "Shoot immediately when they turn around, until we kill all of them."


    Ling Mo paused, then quickly reacted.


    "Okay!"


    The main show is finally here!


    Time to kill!


    ...cough, this is not to say that he is eager to kill and is a psychopath or something. After all, those IPAs are all NPCs and he is in the mood for playing games, the biggest difference between VR games and ordinary ones are the sense of reality... or in other words, he just wanted to experience this novelty.


    Seeing that the girls from the IPA had turned around from the corner of her eye Xia Xinyan immediately rolled over from Ling Mo and lay on his side, and he immediately raised his gun and aimed at the group without hesitation, pulling the trigger.


    Xia Xinyan also aimed her gun at them, but didn''t shoot.


    She intends to let Ling Mo kill as much as possible, so that she can get the points from the system. As for the income of game points, it is not so urgent in the early stages.


    And completing dungeons isn''t the only way to earn game points.


    Inside the forest the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. Ling Mo''s aim was good, killing all the members of the IPA within a single magazine.


    A few seconds later they all turned into white light and disappeared, leaving only their weapons scattered all over the place.


    At the same time, a sound appeared in Xia Xinyan''s mind... Frog''s reminder¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾Number of IPA kills: 5¡¿


    ¡¾Good start, host.¡¿


    ''Thanks for the compliment, Frog.''3


    Xia Xinyan responded in her mind.


    ¡¾...¡¿


    Ling Mo on the side was still a little surprised.


    "They... died?"


    Isn''t that too fragile?


    The gun in his hand is not a large-caliber pistol, its power is limited, and all he hit was the body. Everyone got hit twice, so they shouldn''t die so quickly, right?


    "This is the first dungeon, it''s normal to be easy."


    Xia Xinyan stood up from the ground, pulled him up as well and patted the ashes off his body, saying with a smile.


    "By the way, i didn''t scare you just now, did i?"


    "No, no..."


    What she said reminded Ling Mo of the softness just now, and he couldn''t help but blush slightly.


    "If it wasn''t for your quick response we might have all been beaten to death, right?"


    He really didn''t notice anyone approaching them just now.


    Xia Xinyan stared at him for a while, then said softly.


    "Your coordination just now was great, and your marksmanship is really good."


    "Really..."


    Lingo Mo immediately felt like he was flying, laughing like an idiot.


    Xia Xinyan remained smiling.


    At this moment, she suddenly lost the intention of continuing to complain about this guy.


    On the contrary, she felt that he is a little pitiful.


    It is precisely because she had no experience in dealing with this before that being casually praised makes him feel like flying.


    No, to be more precise, he was basically never directly praised by a girl.


    To be honest, she had some experience before, but it was basically tricks that girls used to chase her, even if it was a compliment most of it didn''t get to the point. If Ling Mo didn''t notice it, there wouldn''t be that kind of feeling.


    On the contrary, this formed a misunderstanding in which made those girls think that Ling Mo was a difficult person to chase, and as a result fewer and fewer girls came to him later.


    But in reality, this guy is just a straight man who doesn''t understand women.


    So... now that Xia Xinyan found something to compliment him casually Ling Mo''s defense was instantly broken.


    Really, the more she thinks about it, the more pitiful she feels.


    Hmm... i should praise him more in the future.


    While thinking about these things in her mind Xia Xinyan went over to search for the things dropped by the IPAs.


    They are basically automatic rifles, and there''s a lot of magazines, which can be said to be a big harvest.


    It''s a pity that the game inventory has not been opened yet so they can''t hold so many guns.


    So Xia Xinyan simply took two, put away all the magazines and handed Ling Mo a rifle.


    "We have upgraded our firepower now."


    Ling Mo took a gun to check it and suddenly said.


    "If those enemies are all of this difficulty i think it''s quite easy for us to pass the level."


    Enemies who can be killed in one or two pistol shots can be fooled so easily... It feels like this dungeon is really a beginner level.


    "No, it''s not that easy."


    Xia Xinyan shook her head and explained.


    "The dungeon will become more and more difficult in the later stage, and the difficulty will probably increase in a short time."


    NPCs will die so quickly not because of the low difficulty, but because the game sets a gradual adaptation process for players. Even if you know that this is a game, if it is fully realistic the process of killing people will also cause physical discomfort and even make players afraid of this game. This definitely isn''t what the game wants.


    Therefore, the killing process in the early stage of the game is very light, there is no blood, no corpses, not even severed limbs. But as the game gradually progresses these effects will gradually appear, like blood, corpses, etc., being applied to NPCs and even players.


    And when the player realizes this, the cataclysm had already begun.


    But now it can still be played as a game.


    For example, the difficulty of the dungeon from easy to hard¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Important news: The IPA has confirmed the list of participants and will start hunting them all soon.¡·


    ¡¶Important news: Considering the risk, the organizer decided to terminate this reality show. The pick-up helicopter will arrive at the top of the mountain in one hour, please go there in time.¡·


    ¡¶Current task: Go to the top of the mountain.¡·

    Bad Taste


    The sudden game prompt made Ling Mo stunned.


    "Is it going to end?"


    "Hm."


    Xia Xinyan nodded, already expecting it.


    "It''s almost time, so the difficulty will only increase now."


    Ling Mo thought for a moment, and was a little puzzled.


    "Isn''t it possible to trick the NPCs to get away with it like just now?"


    "Well...1"


    "Then just now... How did you know that you could deceive them in this way?"


    "Because the game had given a hint."


    Xia Xinyan smiled slightly.


    In addition to cultivating the player''s strength, ¡¶The God¡¯s Realm¡· raises the player''s handling methods and on-the-spot response to dangers, as this aspect is more important than brute strength in some cases.


    Hmm... To put it bluntly, it is to teach players how to exploit loopholes.


    For example, when the dungeon starts the game says that the IPA will launch attacks on those they judge as game participants. In other words, they have not yet determined who on the island participated in this reality show¡ª¡ª although it''s impossible for other people to come to this kind of place for vacation when they have nothing to do, this is the dungeon setting even if it doesn''t make much sense.


    So that players can use this to avoid danger¡ª¡ª this is an advantage for girls or players with a more feminine appearance, so it can also be said that using your beauty is not completely worthless in the dungeon scenario.2


    But if you don''t know how to use your own strengths these points doesn''t make much of a difference.


    It''s worth mentioning that after entering the late stage of the dungeon the game will forcibly close most of the loopholes. That is to say, in most cases in the final stage the player''s brute strength will still be tested. After all, it is impossible for people who only rely on loopholes to win against the invaders in the cataclysm.


    For example, the IPA will launch an attack on all participants which will block the way for them to complete the stage. If the players meet them one side has to die.


    Knowing this Ling Mo became a little nervous.


    "Then why don''t we keep a low profile?"


    "No."


    Xia Xinyan looked at the map and said.


    "Let''s go to the top of the mountain and kill the IPAs as soon as we see them."


    Ling Mo paused.


    "... Isn''t it too reckless?"


    "That''s the fun of the game, right?"


    Xia Xinyan tilted her head slightly.


    "The mission reward encourage us to hunt and kill the IPA, and our weapons are also very strong now¡ª¡ª don''t you think it''s exciting to take the initiative?"


    Hearing this, Ling Mo lowered his head and glanced at the rifle in his hand.


    It seems to be the case.


    Tsk, why can''t he even compare to the courage of a girl...3


    Taking a deep breath he fantasized about the possible shootout scene for a while, and after giving himself a shot of stimulant in his mind he nodded.


    "Alright, let''s kill them directly."


    The real gun battle scene that he once dreamed can really be experienced now, it would be too wasteful to be a coward at this time, otherwise he would despise himself.


    Anyway, he thinks he should be quite strong. After all, although he has never played real guns before he has played real CS with water guns4 for a while, so he still has some experience.


    Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xia Xinyan smiled at him.


    Not bad, not bad, as expected of me.


    Not a coward at all, just this is probably much better than two-thirds of the players.


    Of course... it might be because of her.


    But the result is the same, so it doesn''t matter.


    The game system said that the top of the mountain is located in the center of the island, very close to their spawn point. It says a mountain but the terrain is not high, it''s easy to climb up but the area is overgrown with weeds which greatly affects the vision, it''s as much of a good thing as a bad one.


    Xia Xinyan''s plan was to clear the three supply points along the way and then go to the mountaintop at the end. An hour of time for this plan may be too little, but she didn''t plan to go there on time... because according to her understanding of the game it might not be so easy to clear the dungeon.


    For Ling Mo, she just wanted him to experience the feeling of stealth and gunfighting, it''s better to kill more NPCs to earn points.


    The first supply point is not far, through the cover of grass the two of them approached the supplies very smoothly. The area where the material is stored is an open space, and at this moment there are five girls in pink clothes wandering around the place holding rifles, with grim expressions.


    Xia Xinyan hid in the grass and watched for a while, then pulled Ling Mo to lie down, moving to his side and whispering into his ear.


    "Get ready, I''ll count to three and we shoot together."


    Her breath hit Ling Mo''s ear, causing the latter to tremble. Then he pretended to be calm and raised his gun, after which he gave a grunt, but there was no other reaction.


    Seeing this, Xia Xinyan gave him a slightly surprised look.


    ... Tsk, gaining immunity so soon?


    ¡ª¡ªWell, she admits she did it on purpose.


    Because it''s really interesting to watch this guy act like a virgin.


    As for if it''s going too far... Ling Mo is also her past self after all, right? It¡¯s not too much to torment yourself, right?


    For the first time, she discovered that she had such a bad taste.


    Sure enough, she have been holding back for too long in her last life...


    She complained for a while, but didn''t delay the situation. She slowly lay down next to Ling Mo, raised her gun and aimed at the girl on the far side.


    "Get ready, three, two, one... shoot!"


    After the words fell the two of them pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and Ling Mo''s reaction speed was much faster than Xia Xinyan''s. In just a few seconds four people were knocked down while she only hit one.


    After all the enemies turned into white light and disappeared the two of them waited for a while to make sure that no reinforcements were coming, and then cautiously came out from the bushes. Ling Mo immediately went to check the supplies box while Xia Xinyan continued to be vigilant about the surroundings.


    The supplies box was basically filled with firearms and ammunition, and there were not many things that would help them¡ª¡ª the main reason was that they didn''t have enough space, otherwise Ling Mo would definitely take them all away.


    "Don''t feel sad, there are still many opportunities to experience these guns in the future."


    Seeing Ling Mo''s hesitating look Xia Xinyan persuaded beside him.


    "Just try to make sure that you can pass the level now and be careful if you bring too much, otherwise we won''t be able to run."


    "I know..."


    Ling Mo touched the guns in the box with some regrets and asked.


    "Since the supplies are useless to us should we still fight the other two supplies?"


    "Fight."


    Xia Xinyan nodded.


    "Just like what we did just now¡ª¡ª your marksmanship was very good."


    Being praised again, Ling Mo smiled a little embarrassingly.


    "Ah... it''s not that good."


    Xia Xinyan looked at him for a moment, then retracted her gun and walked forward.


    "Okay, let''s go."


    I feel that this guy is really easy to satisfy, and a random compliment can make him happy for a long time.5


    It''s not a bad thing, it''s better to let him feel that he has a great advantage and take care of all the work so that she saves a lot of trouble.


    TL notes


    1. Actually is àÅ ¡°Hmm¡±, but i decided to use the other meaning to not get repetitive, this chapter has many ¡°hmms¡± already¡­


    2. This and the previous paragraph almost gave me an aneurysm, i tried my best to make it flow smooth but i¡¯m considering merging them to make it easier to read. Not sure¡­


    3. Ok, so there¡¯s two interpretations to this, the first one being ¡°compare to the courage of a little girl¡±, the second ¡°compare to the courage of his sister¡± if you get what i mean. He¡¯s calling her m¨¨izi (little sister/little girl), i decided to leave as ¡°girl¡±.


    4. LOL, by the way the translation says ¡°water gun circle¡± so i leaved simply as water gun.


    5. Don¡¯t we all¡­


    One more chapter for the count! And this time i didn¡¯t need to butcher something¡­


    Some of you probably noticed that this chapter TL Notes were a little different, i simply decided to add my opinions ¡¯cause there wasn¡¯t too many notes in this chapter, so i might do this again if something like this happens again.


    I was planning to release 2 chapters today but i was too focused on playing Honkai Impact¡­ Sorry about that, but the new gacha was calling me ya¡¯ know? Even more considering i¡¯m playing Shadow: Master of Garden lately too.


    As always, if you find any erros tell me and i will fix it, i hope it was readable and you had fun!

 CH 18

    Thousand-layer routines of the game


    Following this steady ambush battle plan the two of them also managed to get rid of the remaining two supply points, with Ling Mo getting 16 kills and Xia Xinyan 5.


    The main reason is that after the first successful ambush Ling Mo''s confidence and enthusiasm as a man were also stimulated. He only knew that they were going to kill people, and he didn''t care about the rest.


    Especially in front of Xia Xinyan.


    She have to say that he is quite accurate in his shots, rarely missing a few rounds. Sure enough the experience she has gained in the past is still useful.


    Xia Xinyan followed him the whole time, acting like a praising robot.


    But there is one thing to say, without mentioning the hesitation when facing girls, Ling Mo''s talents in all aspects are indeed not low and his learning ability is also very high. As long as he has a good guide he can grow a lot in a short time.


    Just like now, after going through the first ambush he didn''t need her to guide him in the next two times, and even faintly formed a tendency to guide her, so she was happy to be at leisure watching him whenever she could, and occasionally giving a few words of praise is enough.


    And this guy did a good job taking everything in consideration, so nothing went wrong.


    Currently, in her opinion, it is already a very good level.


    ... Is she bragging about herself?


    Forget it. Anyway, it''s my former self so there''s nothing wrong with bragging a few times.


    It took almost an hour to clear the three supply points. They were still some distance away from the mountaintop, but they could see the place through the not-so-dense bushes.


    The main reason is that the sound of a plane engine suddenly coming from the sky is too noisy, it''s difficult for people not to notice the situation in the sky.


    It was a huge transport helicopter.


    After flying to the top of the mountain, the helicopter hovered in the sky and slowly began to lower the altitude.


    Ling Mo stared there for a while, then turned to look at Xia Xinyan.


    "What should we do now?"


    He remembered that she had said before that this dungeon might not be so easy, since she knew more about this game than him, it was better to listen to her.


    Xia Xinyan thought for a moment, and stopped.


    "We''ll just wait here."


    "Here?"


    Ling Mo paused, then subconsciously looked around.


    Surrounded by bushes and trees, they''re good for hiding, but if they want to reach the extraction point in a short time these are actually obstacles for them.


    If that helicopter really was the mean of evacuation, wouldn''t they be at a disadvantage?


    "By the way... if we really have to evacuate by the plane, will it fly away if we don''t get on time?"


    He couldn''t help asking.


    "No."


    Xia Xinyan shook her head.


    "The dungeon will not give a dead end that cannot be cleared. Even if the plane flies away, as long as there is players remaining the system will give other evacuation methods."


    "Is that so..."


    Ling Mo thought for a moment, then stayed quiet.


    Xia Xinyan was staring at the helicopter, lost in thought.


    She was thinking that this plane made so much noise, didn''t the island''s IPA do anything?


    Since their goal is to kill all the participants, will they miss such a good opportunity to wipe them all out?


    Maybe this is simply her worrying too much, but she will always unconsciously use the dungeon scenarios in the late game to think about the problem.


    The most important thing is that she doesn''t know how many players are left in the dungeon¡ª¡ª this will also affect the overall difficulty of the level, the more the number of people the higher the difficulty and vice versa. This gives them hope of clearing the stage if they are the only surviving players.


    So the best thing to do now is to wait and see for a while. If something happens to the plane they will not be affected too much.


    ¡ª¡ªIt turns out that she was right.


    When the helicopter was about to land in the mountain and disappear out of the sight of the two, a white light suddenly flew out from the nearby woods going directly at the helicopter, and then¡ª¡ª


    BOOM!!


    The huge explosion directly blew off the tail of the helicopter, making it lose control and crash into the forest in an instant, causing a series of explosions that even they felt from afar.


    At the same time, a system notification suddenly appeared¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Important news: The evacuation helicopter was destroyed by the Little Fresh Meat Protection Association. The organizer is about to send an evacuation boat, please go there in time¡·


    ¡¶Important news: The firepower of the Little Fresh Meat Protection Association has been greatly upgraded, and it is about to launch a full-scale attack on the island¡·


    ¡¶Current task: Go to the destination and board the evacuation boat¡·


    Then, starting from the mountaintop, deafening explosions suddenly sounded again and again, and gradually spread to the surroundings.


    Seeing this, Ling Mo immediately became nervous.


    "Should we go?"


    "Let''s go!"


    Xia Xinyan was very decisive. After looking at the location of the extraction point on the radar she ran straight in that direction.


    "Hurry up, the sooner the better!"


    This kind of scenario has already reached the end of the level. It is a routine in the game to force all surviving players to complete the final mission in a situation of clearing the field.


    Moreover, regardless of whether there are any traps, they have to go. As long as they stay on the island now they will be hunted and killed by the IPA¡ª¡ª Xia Xinyan can be sure that the Association at this stage will definitely not be as easy to bully as before.


    Ling Mo also moved very quickly, following Xia Xinyan directly after she left while guarding her surroundings, ready to protect her at any time.


    Although he doesn''t know the shitty nature of this game, but based on the experience of playing games in the past this kind of momentum is probably the scene of the finale, and the difficulty will definitely be higher than before.


    He said he would protect Xia Xinyan, and he will go trough it, it doesn''t matter if he dies.


    However, although they were prepared to experience death once, their journey went smoothly. Perhaps it was because they were a little far away from the extraction point at that time and they evacuated quickly, so the Conservation Association couldn''t catch up in the first place. This is great news for them.


    It''s a pity that the game doesn''t intend to let them pass the level so easily.


    Just as Xia Xinyan was about to reach the destination at the beach, a gunshot rang out in the forest and the bullet hit the ground in front of her, kicking up a cloud of dust.


    "Be careful!"


    Xia Xinyan immediately knelt down and hid behind a tree, and fired in the direction of the gunshot.


    Ling Mo also reacted immediately, and squatted directly in the grass, aiming in the same direction.


    It wasn''t until the system reminded Xia Xinyan that she had obtained three kills that she let go of the trigger, quickly changed the magazine, walked out from behind the tree, and looked over there vigilantly.


    "Be careful, there might be someone else."


    Ling Mo nodded.


    "Let''s go slowly, as long as we can get on the boat we should be safe, right?"


    "Hm, let''s go."


    Xia Xinyan stayed behind Ling Mo, and raised her gun while observing the surroundings while following Ling Mo slowly towards the extraction point.


    And when they were about to reach the beach, she noticed several figures in pink clothes suddenly appear in the distant woods from the corner of her eye, and all of them were aiming at this side.


    With such a large number of people it would be too late to fight back. Without too much hesitation, Xinyan took a step forward and hugged Ling Mo, falling to the ground.


    "Get down!"


    Gunshots sounded in the distance almost at the same time, raising a lot of dust around the two of them.


    Amidst the gunshots, Ling Mo suddenly heard a low cry of pain from the person above him.


    This surprised him.


    "Are you injured?!"


    "... Well, no, i accidentally hit my hand."


    "..."

 CH 19

    I¡¯m Not This Kind Of Person (Hot Blooded)!


    This answer relieved Ling Mo''s nervousness.


    If it''s not shot...


    "Get ready."


    Xia Xinyan''s suppressed voice sounded next to his ear, as if she was enduring something.


    "They might come over."


    As she spoke, she rolled over from Ling Mo''s body, laying beside him and raised her rifle, aiming at the direction behind him.


    Ling Mo also hurriedly reached for the rifle on the side, and aimed at the same way.


    However, before the group of enemies came over, a mortar shell suddenly landed between the two sides, making a deafening explosion and making a large amount of dust and smoke that blocked everyone''s sight.


    Afterwards, several more mortar shells landed nearby and the sound of explosions followed one after another, directly turning the area into a place of death.


    Xia Xinyan hurriedly said.


    "Go, now!"


    Ling Mo got up in response, turned around and reached out to pull her up, but his eyes noticed a hole in her pants that seemed to be torn by a bullet on her left leg.


    "You were hit?!"


    He was startled.


    Was her cry of pain just now because she was shot?!


    Then why did she lie to him that she just hit her hand?


    Is it to reassure him?


    "Don''t worry about me."


    Xia Xinyan was still lying on the ground, as if she had given up struggling.


    "Go first, i''ll cover you."


    It''s not that she doesn''t want to struggle, it''s just that she can''t move.


    Although the game does not have the effect of broken limbs, there are still feedbacks after being shot, such as fractures.


    She didn''t know how many times she was shot, but one bullet shouldn''t directly fracture her leg¡ª¡ª the most coincidental thing is that several bullets hit the same location, so it can be said that she is very unlucky.


    But her goal isn''t to clear the level herself anyway, it will be a matter of time before she gets a supernatural ability. Now the main objective of the first dungeon is to let Ling Mo clear the stage, and she herself is secondary.


    It''s a pity that Ling Mo''s thoughts are not in line with hers.


    "I''ll carry you!"


    He said he wanted to protect her, how could he abandon her?!


    Xia Xinyan hardly had time to resist. He dropped the rifle, pulled her up and hugged her, then turned around and rushed towards the beach.


    A mortar shell landed where they were just a few seconds later, creating a big crater, and the shock wave made Ling Mo who had run about ten meters away almost fall down.


    It also made him inevitably get injured.


    This is the first time he has experienced what 70% pain is.


    But even though his back couldn''t help but feel the piercing pain, he still resisted and rushed to the evacuation boat parked by the beach.


    The beach is very wide, and the evacuation boat is also a large armed ship, so it can only stop by the sea a certain distance from the shore. This distance does not seem to be long at ordinary times, but at this moment it has become a road of death.


    Xia Xinyan put her arms around his neck and looked behind, the woods by the beach had been basically flattened by mortar shells. In the smoke one could still see the silhouette of the Protection Association rushing in the distance.


    Looking at it like this, they probably won''t be able to get on the boat.


    After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Xinyan patted Ling Mo''s shoulder.


    "Let me go, you can get on the boat by yourself, you won''t have time to run to the boat with me."


    "We have time!"


    Ling Mo hugged her even tighter.


    "Don''t think about it, i can''t leave you here alone!"


    Xia Xinyan wanted to curse.


    Why does this guy always like to show off?


    Does he think this is romantic? Is it fun for two people to die together and get some poor income from the dungeon?


    Although she couldn''t help complaining in her mind, she still persuaded calmly on the surface.


    "This is just a game, there is no need to be so serious, and it''s not really dying. You escape first, and take me with you next time."


    "It''s because it''s a game that i can''t give up!"


    Ling Mo gritted his teeth and sped up.


    "How much of a waste is a person who can abandon a girl while playing a game? I''m not that kind of person!"


    "..."


    "Don''t be afraid! I will definitely take you on board!"


    Ling Mo had already made up his mind.


    "Even if we die, we will die together!"


    Xia Xinyan stopped trying to persuade him.


    She understands her own temperament, and when she finds a reason to do something no one can pull her back... No, she is better now, at least she can listen to some persuasion, but at this point in time Ling Mo is really stubborn1.


    And it was too late for her to persuade him.


    At this moment, people from the IPA have come to the beach. The two of them are still nearly fifty meters away from the evacuation ship, and there is still a segment of water, which is more likely to hinder their progress. There are no bunkers or obstacles on the beach, the two are completely living targets.


    I guess we won''t make it through.


    Forget it...it won''t be too late to wait for the next game.


    In the turbulence, Xia Xinyan slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the imminent pain of death.


    However¡ª¡ª


    "Hey! Run! I''ll cover you!"


    Murong Yue''s voice suddenly came from the front.2


    Looking up, two large-caliber machine guns suddenly rose from the rear of the armed ship, aimed at the Protection Association rushing behind them, and began to shoot indiscriminately.


    The crazy firepower blocked the IPAs charge almost instantly, and Murong Yue appeared at the hatch of the ship and waved at them desperately.


    "Come on! Don''t just stand still!"


    Ling Mo stayed still for a second, then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the ship with all his strength.


    When they were about to reach the side of the ship, Murong Yue directly jumped off to help them, until the three of them boarded the ship smoothly and the system prompt appeared directly in front of everyone¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Mission completed, returning to the lobby soon¡·


    Xia Xinyan said almost immediately.


    "The dungeon is finished, now you can leave it directly, i''ll go  first."


    After speaking, she turned into white light and disappeared off the deck.


    Ling Mo was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly gathered his composure, opening the game menu and choosing to exit the dungeon.


    After he also disappeared, only Murong Yue was left on the deck. The ship sailed away from the island after the three of them boarded. Seeing the large group of girls in pink clothes who stopped attacking on the beach not far away, she couldn''t help muttering.


    "Why are you leaving in such a hurry... This game is quite interesting."


    But Ling Mo, who also cleared the dungeon, didn''t think so.


    After leaving the stage, they returned to each player''s unique private space. Due to the linkage between Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan''s game cabin, Ling Mo also has the authority to enter Xia Xinyan private space without permission.


    When he came over, she saw her standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room of the villa, staring blankly at her own reflection.


    Seeing Ling Mo behind her in the mirror, she turned around with an inexplicable expression on her face.


    "Um... did it... hurt?"


    He had been splashed by mortar fragments a while back, even if he felt only 70% of the pain he almost fell to the ground in agony¡ª¡ª for an ordinary person who has never experienced this kind of pain this is definitely not a wonderful thing to feel.


    But after exiting the dungeon the pain disappeared, and he didn''t care much about it.


    He was just thinking... Xia Xinyan was shot directly in the leg with a rifle just now, how painful was that?


    Even he, a man, almost couldn''t hold back a tear, maybe she almost cried just now?


    Maybe because she didn''t want to lose face in front of him, so she suppressed it and pretended it was okay?


    Why bother... It''s just a game...


    ¡ª¡ªLooking at his expression, Xia Xinyan guessed what he was thinking.


    I have to say that the current Ling Mo really doesn''t know how to hide his thoughts.


    Especially when facing her future version of herself, it is almost equivalent to writing her thoughts on her face.


    But...


    "It hurts."


    Xia Xinyan still answered.


    "It hurts."

    Trust Me, Just Once


    "Then don''t play the war zone from now on, just play the safe zone."


    Ling Mo said immediately.


    "I feel that there''s something wrong with the game designer. It''s just a game, there''s no reason for people to play with 70% pain."


    "Yeah, it''s not for people to play with at all..."


    Xia Xin repeated inexplicably, and then whispered.


    "Because it''s not for people to play with in the first place..."


    Hearing this, Ling Mo paused.


    "What do you mean?"


    Xia Xinyan was silent for a moment, then smiled apologetically.


    "I can''t tell you the reason yet, but i can say that the war zone is the essence of this game, and more and more people will enter to play. It is related to a very important thing in the future, if you don¡¯t want to fall behind you can only improve your strength through the war zone.¡±


    Ling Mo frowned slightly, as if he didn''t believe it.


    "What are you talking about? Isn''t this just a game?"


    "It''s not just a game..."


    Xia Xinyan said meaningfully, paused for a few seconds, then continued.


    "This game will have a great impact on the world in the future, so... Let''s continue to play war zone together from now on, okay?"


    Ling Mo''s expression was a little weird.


    "It''s not just a game?"


    This inexplicable explanation was beyond his comprehension.


    However, his strong brain power still made him think of dozens of possibilities in an instant¡ª¡ª all are sci-fi scenes that only appear in novels and movies.


    Could it be that this game... Is actually a training test used by the military to select special forces?


    Then why did Xia Xinyan play this game?


    And... She suddenly took a interest in him, could it be related to this game?


    Does that mean she doesn''t really like him?


    While having crazy thoughts, Xia Xinyan suddenly took his hand. He didn''t know when she had already walked in front of him and raised her head slightly, looking at him with pleading eyes.


    "Believe me, i really like you, and i also have confidence that you can become a strong player in this game. It doesn''t matter if it''s selfish, can you... Continue to play with me?"


    Ling Mo frowned, thinking for a moment, and then said with steel in his voice.


    "Because this is very confidential information? So you can''t tell me? Then why do you like me?"


    After revealing the truth, it was difficult for him to be as innocent as before.


    After all, he doesn''t know what kind of situation he''s in, this kind of circumstance can easily make people suspicious.


    They say nothing comes for free...1


    ¡ª¡ªXia Xinyan suddenly stepped forward and hugged him by the waist.


    "Soon you will know the truth, not yet. But you can trust me, i will definitely be by your side and will not betray you."


    Ling Mo couldn''t help but hesitate a little.


    "Don''t be like this, i just think..."


    However, before he finished speaking, Xia Xinyan suddenly stood on tiptoes, put her arms around his neck and blocked his lips.


    The room fell into a deadly silence.


    After a long time, Xia Xinyan let Ling Mo go slowly, then looked at him who was dumbfounded and smiled.


    "Trust me, just once, just one time okay?"


    Ling Mo stopped thinking.


    "Ah... ah..."


    He... Just... Just... Kissed...


    Is he dreaming?


    Really... Kissed?


    Rather, hasn''t she who kissed him?


    Moreover, he heard that the young lady Xia has never had a boyfriend, not even a male friend, so... He... Got Xia Xinyan''s first kiss?


    First...


    Kiss...


    "Okay, i''ll trust you once."


    Suppressing the acceleration in his chest he tried to calm down.


    "I don''t know why you took a interest in me, but if i find that something is wrong i will leave."


    "Okay."


    Xia Xinyan hugged him excitedly again, and said with a light smile.


    "I won''t let you down."


    How could she let him down? Then wouldn''t her big investment just now be in vain?


    Tsk.


    In her last life and this one, until that moment just now she never thought that her first kiss would be handed over in this way.


    Not at all.


    But if she didn''t do this she really couldn''t find a way to make Ling Mo stop thinking.


    Because she noticed that she really couldn''t find a excuse to continuing playing war zone after experiencing 70% of the pain.


    As for the previous life, there was no young lady Xia, the system was still stuck with a bug at the beginning and no one could tell her what the future would be like. She played this game at the start to try something new, but later, after seeing the examples of those big shots making a lot of money in the game it also made her tempted, and then she started playing in the war zone.


    In fact, after the strength is improved, the possibility of injury gets lower and lower. In most cases, the dungeon will either be cleared with almost no injuries or it''ll be instantly killed.


    But now, except for her, no one knows this.


    And the current Ling Mo also lost the reason to enter the war zone¡ª¡ª to make money? As long as he can be close to the young lady, will he still be short of money in the future?


    So in this way, continuing to play war zone is tantamount to self-abuse.


    Of course, she can also give up Ling Mo, let him develop on his own and follow the old path of his previous life, but in this case, the system didn''t need to bring her back¡ª¡ª Although this is not her voluntary choice, she has no reason to waste such a chance to be reborn.


    Therefore, if she wanted Ling Mo to continue playing with her in the war zone, she had to use other excuse.


    She had considered a lot in the dungeon before, but in the end she used this reason. In a sense, she was not lying to Ling Mo. After all, a lie needs tens of thousands of lies to make up for it. She can''t guarantee that if she solves the current problem by lying Ling Mo will trust her if the truth is revealed someday.


    In her previous life, she had been betrayed and deceived by others, and she knew how to deal with those people very well. She knew her temper, so she naturally didn''t want to be treated like this by him one day.


    It would be better to just tell the truth.


    But it''s impossible for her to tell the whole story now, so being a riddle is a good choice. As for whether Ling Mo will continue to doubt... If it weren''t for this, she wouldn''t give her first kiss.


    However, the problem was temporarily solved, but she felt that she was at a loss¡ª¡ª


    In her previous life, she had never experienced the feeling of kissing a girl, but in this life, Ling Mo did.


    Fuck.2


    Although she did it herself she was inexplicably upset.


    And the most important thing is that after all this his trust is only temporarily gained. After that, it will take time to increase it so that he can completely believe in her and accept herself.


    No rush, take your time.


    Anyway, with such a big investment today, she still doesn''t believe that she can''t catch Ling Mo.

    1. Originally it says ¡°there is no free stuff in the sky.¡± (Ëû¾Í˵ÌìÉÏûÓÐÃâ·ÑµÄÏÚ). It could be the saying ¡°pie in the sky¡± but i don¡¯t think it fits to well.


    2. The author says ¡°Blood loss/anemia¡± that basically means throwing up blood from being angry, like in those cultivation novels. ¡°Fuck¡± seems like a good choice of expression.


    Jesus Christ, this chapter had way too much butchered paragraphs that i had to rewrite to be readable


    , finished it today though.


    Can¡¯t promise that i will translate tomorrow, my schedule will be packed. As always, any erros warn me, hope it was readable and you had fun, catch ya later!

    1. Ok so, i know it doesn¡¯t fit too well but i don¡¯t know any other saying for English speakers. The original is something along the lines of ¡°If you try to become fat by eating too much in one sitting, you¡¯ll die first¡±


    2. Completely butchered, it directly translates to ¡°But it¡¯s enough for her to use on her own. After all, she is the first player with dual abilities, so she won¡¯t be able to stretch her hips any more, right? Even if he can¡¯t compare with Ling Mo, he is still considered a strong man¡±

    2. Originally says dogs fate, same meaning.


    3. pretty obvious, the brothers mean his friends. The bros, if you will.


    By far one the worst chapters to translates, almost every paragraph i had to change it or re-read multiple times to know what exactly was the author intentions. There¡¯s probably some grammar mistakes, translated this while feeling really sleepy, tomorrow i¡¯ll proofread it again.

    Heya~ sorry for the delay, i was thinking if i should release chapters only from Monday to Friday and chill out at Saturday and Sunday. Not sure because from now on i¡¯m gonna get more busy, so i dunno if i¡¯m going to be able to release the same amount of chapter as before¡­

    Self-destruct Infantry?


    The man is desperate.


    He doesn''t know what happened in the city, he only knows that the people became crazy, everyone who finds him wants to come and attack him even when he is driving, so he run over each one. The man could only watch helplessly as he collided with other cars by the road because of the situation.


    He tried to call the police, but all the calls were busy, and there was not a single policeman on the street, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, especially when the car finally broke down just now, only despair enveloped his heart .


    Until... He heard a shout not from far away.


    "Over there! Run this way! Hurry up! We''ll cover you!"


    Looking for the source, he found Ling Mo and the others at the entrance of the research institute. The one who shouted him was Fatty, who was waving at him constantly.


    Just like the dawn after the darkness, this made the man have hope, and he turned around and rushed over.


    On the other side, Xia Xinyan quickly looked around, then pointed to a hotel not far away.


    "Let''s go there!"


    There is still a long distance from their home. It''s too dangerous to walk there under the current situation, especially now that this passer-by has to be rescued, so it is more important to find a safe hiding place as soon as possible.


    After all, the virus spreading in this city is not a zombie virus, so it''s not as dangerous, so it isn''t a bad decision to choose this building.


    The others had no objection, and quickly ran to the hotel door. Xia went in directly and began to check the safety inside, while Ling and the others stood guard at the door and waited for the man to escape to their side.


    At this moment, there were no fewer than ten infected people attracted by the noise. Fortunately, there were no more infected people joining the pursuit team, otherwise the firepower of the three of them might not be able to catch them. However, among the three of them, only Mo had a long-ranged gun, so Fatty and Murong didn''t dare to shoot until they got close to a certain distance¡ª¡ª for fear of wasting bullets.


    Ling Mo didn''t have such worries, so he used his gun skillfully at a distance of more than ten meters, and even successfully knocked down several of them. The hit rate is estimated to be more than two-thirds, and the fat man who watched it called it awesome.


    Thanks to their first cleanup, there were not many infected people who appeared at the end, and they were all brought down by the crossfire of the three without any risk. When the man arrived at the hotel panting, there were no pursuers behind him.


    But the man who looked like he was about to die suddenly said.


    "Thank you... Thank you..."


    "Brother hasn''t exercised for a long time, right? Your physical fitness is not good."


    Fatty patted the guy on the shoulder, and before the man could react, he put a pistol on his head.


    "Do you have a mobile phone? Hand it over. "


    Stranger: "?"


    "What nonsense are you talking to him?"


    Yue was more direct, and began to search the man as soon as he came up, her straightforwardness was more masculine than that of a man.


    She even checked some sensitive parts twice.


    "I found it."


    She found the man''s cell phone from his trouser pocket, and she nodded.


    "Okay, you can kill it."1


    Stranger: "???"


    Even the fat man couldn''t listen anymore.


    "No, why are you more ruthless than me?"


    "Is there any need to keep an NPC?"


    Yue glanced at him.


    Although the man didn''t understand what she meant, he knew that he had just come out of the tiger''s den and boarded a pirate ship¡ª¡ª as a hostage, and the hope that had just risen was shattered in an instant.


    "Aren''t you here to rescue me? I can give you money..."


    "What''s the use of money? It can''t be brought out to reality."


    She still had obvious malice towards this guy.


    "It''s better to kill him to save trouble."


    "Okay."


    Ling Mo came over and interjected.


    "Leave him, there''s no need to be so desperate."


    Even if he''s an NPC, Yue''s actions are too inhumane.


    "Come on, is it possible that you still plan to take care of this guy? I declare in advance that I will definitely not care about this man''s life."


    Murong immediately separated herself from the relationship.


    Ling glanced at her sideways.


    "I didn''t say I would take care of him, did I?"


    After finishing speaking, Xia also returned to the front desk.


    "There is no one in here, it''s safe. Just stay here for a day, and there shouldn''t be any major problems after closing the door."


    Hearing this, Yue looked at her inexplicably, then turned and went to the second floor.


    "You guys can do whatever you want."


    The other people also quickly dispersed. After locking the door of the hotel, they found the room card at the front desk, left the men and went to the second floor.


    Mo kindly told the man about the current situation, and he didn''t bother to care about what the stranger planned to do next.


    As long as he doesn''t cheat them.


    But it''s not a big problem even if there is a issue, it''s a matter of bullets anyway.


    The hotel has a total of three floors with two staircases. The internal layout is good, and the roofs are very close to each other. Even if the infected break through here, they still have multiple options to escape from here. As a temporary hiding place, this hotel is indeed a good choice.


    However, on the issue of the room, there were some differences among the people.


    Fatty wants four people to stay in one room, and take turns keeping vigil at night, which is safer. Murong Yue also prefers this choice, but she also wants to live in one room alone, so she is a bit entangled. As for Ling Mo...


    He turned his head and looked at Xia Xinyan.


    "Xinyan, what are your plans?"


    Xia thought for a few seconds, then smiled and said.


    "Why don''t we share a room together?"


    "Okay."


    Ling didn''t think too much about it, he just played like a ruthless affirmative machine.


    "Then you two can figure it out."


    Murong Yue couldn''t stand it anymore.


    "Come on, there''s no need to show affection when you play a game, right? By the way, does this game allows sex?"


    Ling Mo: "..."


    ¡ª¡ªThat''s right, does today count as the first time he has slept with Xia Xinyan?2


    Now that she said it, he couldn''t stop thinking about it.


    Xia Xinyan just smiled, noncommittal.3


    "There is no prohibition on showing affection in the game, right?"


    "That''s fine, I''ll live in a room by myself."


    Murong curled her lips and didn''t make any further comments.


    "Then at least before that, we have to share information, right?"


    Fatty looked at Yue, frowned, and said.


    "You still have the phone, why don''t you check the situation?"


    Yue was silent for a second, then directly handed the phone to Xia.


    "I''ll leave it to you."


    Xinyan didn''t show any reaction, took the phone and checked it.


    This mobile phone is no different from a real one. It has no brand name and no signal, but the network speed is quite fast.


    But after a little research, you can find abnormalities¡ª¡ª for example, you can only search for virus-related news on the internet, and you will get blank feedback if you search for any other content. There are only two apps in the app store¡ª¡ª one is navigation and the other is news.


    The content of the news is information about the virus in this city, but it is not detailed¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Unknown virus W: The route of infection is unknown, and the incubation period is half an hour to one day. It will attack the first uninfected person it sees after entering this state, and then explode.¡·


    The last sentence caught everyone''s attention.


    "Explosion? Self-destruction?"


    Fatty''s expression gradually became weird.


    "Wouldn''t it be a city of self-destruction infantry tomorrow?"


    Ling Mo thought for a few seconds, then nodded.


    "I almost guessed what the last difficulty is."


    Self-explosion, as long as it is a little powerful, is much more threatening than a headbutt.


    Then this can be exciting.

 CH 44

    Ling Mo and Fatty used to be good brothers indeed.


    But after all, people are creatures living in the present, and the friendship in the past cannot be regarded as everything. Ling valued Xinyan more than the fat man now.


    Of course, he wasn''t forced to make a choice between Fatty and Xia, it''s just listening to Fatty talk about... His girlfriend, he felt quite strange.


    How to explain? It''s like a special possessive desire, even if it''s a former friend, Ling Mo doesn''t want him to get involved in this topic.


    So about this topic, he really has nothing to talk about.


    There wasn''t much emotional connection between them before.


    Fortunately, Fatty is not the kind of person who can''t understand the atmosphere. Seeing that Ling Mo didn''t want to talk about it with him, he simply changed the subject.


    "Hey, I want to ask you something, tell me the truth."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Ling Mo tilted his head and looked at him.


    The fat man glanced at Xia Xinyan''s room, then approached him again and lowered his voice.


    "Your girlfriend... Isn''t that Xia Xinyan?"


    "...Which Xia Xinyan?"


    "Who else? That one! The daughter of the Xia family!"


    The fat man is not stupid, even if he didn''t turn notice it at first, he has to realize it now.


    Ling Mo was admitted to Linjiang University, and the Xia family''s location is also in Linjiang. Fatty''s knowledge of the family was limited to the various capital jokes about it on the internet, and he also knew that the Xia family had a daughter who was about the same age as them.


    After connecting the dots, even if it is not certain, it''s almost right.


    Taking a step back, is there really such a coincidence in the world? Also in Linjiang, there happened to be a beautiful girl in the University who had the same name and age as the daughter of the Xia family, and who had the ability to get a game cabin?


    Fatty doesn''t think Ling Mo got the game cabin himself, at least he spent three years in high school together, so he still knows his background and so on.


    So it makes sense when you think about it.


    But the more he thought about it, the more nonsensical sounded¡ª¡ª it was because he knew how much Ling Mo was worth that he was even more surprised. Was the daughter of the Xia family blind and fell in love with him?


    ...Cough, it''s not that there isn''t any good points. If he has to say, this kid is quite attractive, especially after playing basketball, the sweaty masculinity makes him attractive, but ignoring that, what else does he have that can attract the young lady?


    Please, this is not a matter of disparity in status. The size of the Xia family, if placed in a small country, can even be the emperor directly. Basically, Xinyan is the princess of a country, while Ling Mo... Cough.


    Anyway, he couldn''t understand it.


    ¡ª¡ªLing Mo naturally knows his reason, and he has been thinking about it for the past two days.


    He used his head to think about what Xia was thinking, but he couldn''t figure out what to do, and he couldn''t read minds.


    So now he doesn''t think about it at all, letting nature take its course, and do whatever is more in line with his own wishes.


    As for the fat man''s question, he chose to be direct.


    "What do you think?"


    Since Xia Xinyan didn''t take the initiative to admit it before, there''s no need for him to do anything extra.


    Fatty stopped asking.


    "Okay, but I still have to congratulate you, take good care of her."


    "That''s natural."


    Ling Mo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.


    "Go to bed early, or if you can''t sleep, just help me watch the rest of the night."


    "You''re talking bullshit, I''m going to sleep."


    The fat man got up and left.


    Seeing him enter the room, Ling Mo was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and leaned on the swivel chair to play with bricks.


    Just like Fatty has been exercising his abilities before, this is indeed a meaningful way to pass the time. Ling Mo doesn''t know how to exercise his abilities to become stronger, but even if he can''t unlock other objects, as long as he''s proficient in the process of creating the brick he might be able to develop a way of fighting against a fear¡ª¡ª being called The Brickman.


    Skill: Can toss an infinite amount of bricks.


    And while he was sitting in the corridor, fiddling with bricks, Xia in the room was not idle either.


    In fact, she woke up when Ling Mo got up. Although his movements had been light, it was still enough to wake her up.


    Players who have experienced the cataclysm basically have this ability, and they can wake up from a deep sleep and immediately enter a defensive posture at the slightest sign of trouble¡ªbecause most people who do not have this ability have seen Jesus in their sleep.


    So it can be said that Xinyan''s sleep quality is quite poor.


    If it weren''t for the BUFF who always maintains the best appearance, if she continues at this pace, she may not be so attractive to Ling Mo in a long time.


    Of course, the improvement of physical fitness in the later stage will solve this problem, allowing players to maintain high sleep quality during a short time schedule, but it is obviously not reflected now.


    So Xia couldn''t sleep.


    Lying on the bed for a while, staring at


    ¡¶sleepy¡· in the status bar for a few seconds, she simply started checking Frogs System.


    She hasn''t had time to use the system points given by it, mainly because this system is also a novelty for her, and she hasn''t figured out which aspect is more beneficial to use the points.


    Although the ability can be improved directly, it does not necessarily bring all the benefits. It''s an important process for players to improve their strength through experience, they can gradually unlock and learn more functions when they are familiar with their abilities, however, by directly improving with points it''s possible to not even know all the functions nor where to start.


    She can be a mentor for Ling Mo, but the question is how can she explain why she is more familiar with his abilities than himself?


    This is a very troubling question.


    However, saving points won''t do anything, so she still plans to see if there are any ways to improve them that are useful now.


    Frog''s system is also linked to Ling Mo, which means that she can not only upgrade her own abilities, but also directly upgrade his abilities through the system. Moreover, Ling Mo''s ability is not only the expansion of materialized items, but also all aspects of improvement, such as materialization speed, materialization difficulty, existence time, cooldown, etc., all of which have upgrade options.


    But after looking around, Xinyan chose to expand the materialized list, unlocking a small number of cold weapons for Ling Mo, such as daggers¡ª¡ª essentially speaking, these items are more of a leap in materialization, which not only means that Ling Mo can materialize these items, but also means that he already has the ability to materialize any other item of the same material.


    Too bad he can''t program.


    However, this will not affect the extremely high price required for upgrading. Just this little expansion of physical items consumes three-quarters of the points.


    Xinyan''s heart hurts seeing it.


    So she added all the remaining points to herself in revenge.


    For example... The power ratio that can be displayed by the succubus ability under the main animalization ability has been increased.


    ¡ª¡ªShe didn''t say she wouldn''t use the succubus ability in the future, did she? Right?

 CH 45

    Ling Mo, who had practiced his abilities for half the night, suddenly discovered a piece of gratifying news¡ª¡ª


    He had a breakthrough in his abilities.


    The items that can be realized are basically small objects with little use, there''s only one brick that can be found as a weapon in a garbage dump. However, his dream of being The Brickman has not had time to start,1 because the list of items has suddenly expanded.


    Moreover, all the newly manifestable items are useful things, such as daggers, knives, and even a series of cold weapons such as katanas, which successfully changed his basic potential from infinite bricks to infinite swords system.2


    Could it be because of his half-night training?


    If it really only takes half a night of high-intensity training to unlock new skills, then this way of improving abilities is too simple.


    However, after trying to materialize the new props a few times, he discovered that there was a big problem.


    New items can be materialized, but the difficulty of it is completely incomparable with bricks. He can manifest a brick in three seconds, and the consumption is almost zero, giving him the feeling of taking a very ordinary step. However, if he wanted to manifest a dagger, it would take him at least half a minute to fully manifest, and the consumption was very obvious, just like a 100-meter sprint without warming up.


    For the first time, he discovered that this ability also has a fitness effect.


    It''s a pity that it''s just an effect in the game. If it can be brought to reality, it would be heaven defying.


    ...Tsk, if it can really be brought into reality, these little scraps wouldn''t be too helpful.


    Overall, it''s good news, which means that his combat effectiveness has been improved again.


    But while he was fiddling with the dagger that appeared, a figure suddenly appeared on the second floor, getting his attention.


    At this time, it was almost dawn, and there were still only dim corridor lights between the corridors. The person who came was the passerby NPC who had been rescued by them before, but his expression was not very good now.


    "You... Hello."


    Seeing the dagger in Ling Mo''s hand, the man''s face became a little more hesitant.


    "I... I want to ask you guys what to do, what are your plans for the future?"


    "Huh?"


    Ling Mo looked him up and down, his skin was still normal, which made him let his vigilance down.


    "Take one step at a time, we don''t have any plans for now."


    "But just staying here is not an option. The food here will be exhausted sooner or later."


    The man was a little worried.


    Yesterday they found food in the kitchen on the first floor of the hotel. The stock was not large, and it was too few to distribute to all of them, not to mention that he did not belong to this group in the first place. It was Ling Mo who kindly gave him a small portion of food, otherwise he would probably be hungry all night.


    But it''s a problem to just stay like this, the food will be eaten up in a few days, and then they''ll be hungry.


    "Let''s talk about this later, maybe there will be a turning point at that time?"


    Ling Mo didn''t care much.


    "There''s such a big thing happening in the city, people outside can''t just sit back and watch."


    ¡ª¡ªThis must be the case in reality, no, it should be said that such a large-scale disaster cannot occur in reality, the power of the state can kill any obvious signs of catastrophe before even happening.3


    Too bad this is in the game, So who can tell what would really happen in reality? Among other things, they saw so many explosion-proof cars going out of the police station yesterday, and they seemed to evaporate out of thin air. They didn''t see any police cars on the street, nor did they see any policemen.


    Perhaps this city became isolated after the disaster began¡ª¡ª after all, this city is essentially just a dungeon challenge provided to a group of players.


    Only this NPC doesn''t know.


    So Ling Mo felt quite strange.


    If the NPCs in the dungeon all paid attention to basic logic like they did in the first dungeon, it wouldn''t make much sense, but the NPC in front of him felt more like a living person.


    A desperate survivor in the face of apocalypse.


    And doomed waiting for hope.


    But in this environment, He''s not worried about death at all, at most he is only a little worried about whether they can clear this dungeon smoothly.


    The thinking brought about by these huge differences soon involved the scope of philosophy.


    He couldn''t say what answer he had, he just thought it was very subtle.


    It''s just a stage of the game... Is it really necessary for the NPC to set up this kind of behavior and thinking logic like a real person?


    "I... I''m very afraid do."


    The man didn''t know what he was thinking, maybe it was Ling Mo''s friendly attitude that made him put down his guard a little bit.


    "I called before do, and all the calls to the police aren''t responding, I don''t know if you guys have tried do... And there is no police car on the street, I wonder where they all went? Did they run away?"


    "I don''t know about that."


    Ling Mo shook his head.


    "But I guess there will be some kind of rescue measures if such a big incident happened in the city, and we''ll just have to play by ear."4


    Otherwise, how would they clear the dungeon, right?


    "There will really be rescue measures?"


    The man was dubious.


    Ling Mo shrugged.


    "Just take it for granted, it''ll make you feel better."


    After a pause, he turned his head and asked.


    "By the way, I''m curious, what ''do'' means?"


    "Huh?"


    The man was taken aback.


    "What do? I don''t know what do..."


    Then there was another pause.


    "I don''t... Do... I don''t want to say this... Do... How do..."


    It seems that after being awakened by Ling Mo, he fell into a strange state. The man''s expression gradually became distorted, as if he was trying his best to prevent himself from saying the the word, but he couldn''t help spitting out one by one. In the end, he started only saying "dodododo"¡ª¡ª the same howl as those charging madmen out there.


    At the same time, his skin also began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few seconds he turned into the appearance of an infected person.


    No, he''s infected.


    Ling Mo: "..."


    Seems to be having a good time.


    Realizing this, he abruptly got up from his chair and kicked the door of the fat man next to him.


    "Everyone get up! Something happened!"


    After yelling this sentence, he immediately took a few steps back to keep a safe distance, drew out the pistol on his waist and aimed at the man, and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay? Take two steps back if you are not infected!"


    "Do¡ª¡ª!"


    The man uttered an extremely high-pitched syllable, then suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Mo, his expression was exactly the same as that of the red-faced woman he had seen before, and the desire to attack that was almost overflowing in his eyes made clear to no doubt his danger.


    However, as the person who was chatting normally just a minute ago, Ling Mo really couldn''t kill him that easily.


    "Wake up brother! If you can get out of here alive, you will be the most beautiful guy in this city, don''t fall before dawn, brother!"


    "What? Who''s the pretty guy?"


    The fat man opened the door sloppily at this time, obviously got up in a hurry by Ling Mo''s movement, with a somewhat dazed expression on his face.


    Then he instantly became the man''s target¡ª¡ª because the distance was closer.


    The man let out a "do" roar, and then a rocket headbutt hit the fat man''s waist.


    It''s a pity that it didn''t move again.

 CH 46

    Heavyweight Advantage


    Fatty''s face turned purple to the naked eye.


    Seeing that the blow was ineffective, the stranger backed away like the female researcher before and prepared for another blow. Fortunately, Ling Mo helped instead of watching this time, after the man retreated to a safe distance, he finally pulled the trigger and shot through the man''s head.


    Until he turned into white light and disappeared, Da Ri couldn''t recover.


    Then, the door on the other side was opened, and Xinyan, who had already taken care of herself, came out, looked at them both, and raised her eyebrows.


    "The problem is solved?"


    She woke up when Ling Mo kicked the door, but she was not as anxious as the fat man. No matter what, it was impossible for Ling to be killed by this kind of infected person within a few minutes, so she had given herself some time to get ready for her own dignity.


    Him killing it is a plus point.


    "Well."


    Ling Mo nodded, with a strange expression on his face.


    "The man we rescued yesterday... Was infected. I killed him just now."


    "Hiss..."


    Fatty covered his belly and slowly squatted down, his tone was very painful.


    "Can''t you kill me sooner if you want to kill me? And why do they like to bump into me?"


    Early in the morning, his gastric acid almost came out.


    Fortunately, this is in the game, otherwise he would have to go to the hospital to check if there is anything wrong with being bumped.


    ...Oh yes, there is a status bar in the game.


    He immediately opened the status bar and looked at it, and he saw a long row of negative status¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Sleepiness¡·¡¶Hunger¡·¡¶Slight organ damage¡·


    "...Fuck."


    "Maybe it''s because your size is better to aim at."


    Murong Yue finally came out of the room, a little gloating.


    "But you don''t seem to have a big problem, no one has broken your defense, it seems to be a heavyweight advantage. "


    Fatty glanced at her and was about to say something when a new game prompt suddenly appeared in front of everyone¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Important news: The Quick Response Force has set the roof of Building A of Guangling building as a rescue location, and the rescue operation has begun and will last for three hours.¡·


    ¡¶Important news: The city riots escalate, and the military will start bombing the city in five hours.¡·


    ¡¶Current task: Go to the roof of Building A of Guangling building to get rescue.¡·


    At the same time, Xinyan''s mind also heard the mission reminder given by the frog¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾Integral mission release: Kill an infected person, get 10 points (including self-destruct behavior)¡¿


    Xia couldn''t help frowning slightly.


    ''10 points is too little for one, isn''t it? ''


    ¡¾The host can encourage the original body to clean up all the infected people in the city, and will get up to 70 million points¡¿


    ''That''s all right.''


    70 million points... Doesn''t this mean that there are 7 million infected people in this city?


    Although this reward number is very attractive, they obviously don''t have the strength to take it now.


    You can say whatever you want, it''s impossible.


    Fatty is a little concerned about this new mission.


    "The final mission so soon?"


    "Isn''t it good? We can finish it early."


    Murong Yue checked the pistol and asked.


    "Where is the Guangling building?"


    Xia took out her phone and turned on the navigation, and quickly found her destination.


    "It''s 13 kilometers from here, not too far away."


    "But now we can only walk there? Is three hours enough?"


    Ling Mo was a little worried.


    "Then don''t waste time, let''s go."


    Murong Yue picked up the gun and walked towards the stairs.


    The fat man glanced at them, nodded, and followed.


    Ling Mo paused for a while, but he didn''t follow up immediately, but turned to look at Xinyan.


    "That... I discovered that my abilities have improved."


    "Huh? What''s the progress?"


    Xia asked with a slight smile.


    "This."


    Ling Mo directly took out the dagger he had manifested before.


    "Now I can create... A cold weapon."


    This is the first dagger he has manifested. It is very similar in shape to a ceremonial dagger, and its body is pitch black. However, if you look carefully, you can find a very complicated and mysterious pattern on the blade¡ª¡ª this is Ling Mo''s masterpiece. He thinks the weapons will be more powerful if you do this.


    As for what the lines are, he doesn''t know himself, he drew them blindly.


    This may be his first contact with programming¡ª¡ª for example, the system prepared the initial program of "hello, world" for him, and then he added a "copyright" at the end of the sentence before running it.


    How much is an innovation.


    Xia pretended to be completely ignorant and showed some surprise.


    "Ah... Amazing, You can make a breakthrough so soon, I haven''t figured out the effect of my supernatural ability yet... Incredible."


    Ling Mo immediately floated away.


    "Ha... It''s just a small thing, maybe I''m lucky. You have to believe in yourself, your abilities are also very powerful."


    "Yeah."


    Xia Xinyan smiled and nodded.


    Tsk, the expression of being afraid that others will see his embarrassment.


    And comforting people is not so comforting.


    Stupid.


    Forget it, it''s okay to let this guy babble, just let him increase his self-confidence.


    "Let''s go too, they''re all gone."


    She took Mo''s hand and pulled him to follow the two people in front.


    Being held by her suddenly, this intimate act made Ling stunned for a moment, but feeling the temperature from his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and responded to her invitation with a little force.


    Still a little shy.


    But the girlfriend''s hand has to be held.


    Really comfortable.


    Da Ri and Murong Yue had already arrived at the gate. They only locked the outside glass door yesterday, but there were no traces of damage. It was already dawn outside, and the situation on the road could basically be seen.


    Overall, pretty bad.


    Infected people can be seen everywhere, and the road has become a mess. Obviously, the chaos outside has not stopped since they fled into the hotel yesterday, and the current danger level is probably much higher than yesterday.


    Among other things, the most noteworthy point is that the skin color of those infected people has turned into an extremely disgusting maroon, and they all have a bit of bloated feeling, like corpses that have been soaked in water for a period of time. Even if it''s not to the level of obesity, watching is definitely a challenge for the sanity value after watching for a long time.


    "...It''s better to have zombies than this."


    Fatty''s expression was a little ugly,


    "It''s more disgusting than zombies."


    "It doesn''t matter whether it''s disgusting or not."


    Murong Yue said with an indifferent attitude.


    "It''s just that they look like this, and they feel a lot more dangerous than yesterday."


    "The final stage of the infection?"


    Ling Mo, who came over later, guessed.


    "Didn''t the system say yesterday that the infected person will explode after reaching the final stage of the infection?"


    Da Ri''s expression became even uglier.


    "Come on, if this is blown up, will you be splashed with bile and fat?"


    "...It''s disgusting just saying that."


    Thinking of that scene, Murong Yue broke her defenses.


    Xinyan may be the calmest of the four. She looked at the situation outside silently for a while, and then said.


    "According to the current situation, it may be difficult to go by ground, more than ten kilometers... We can''t afford the risk."


    It''s estimated that the ground has been occupied by infected people. This game is not a Wushuang1 for them. If there is a wave of corpses, according to their current strength, 1000% of the group will be wiped out.


    "Then what do you think is a better way for us to go?"


    Murong Yue tilted her head and looked at her.


    Since she said that, there should be a way to deal with it, right?


    "Sewer."


    Xia gave the answer directly.


    "There is a layout map of the city''s sewers in the phone''s navigation."


    This completely unreasonable setting must be a small help provided by the game to them.


    "There is such a setting?"


    Fatty''s expression suddenly became weird.


    "Sewers... Tsk, it sounds like a zombie game."

 CH 47

    Let The Professional Do It


    From the point of view of structure, the layout of the city''s sewers is comparable to a cave, and it is estimated to be several times more complicated than the city''s ground routes. In other words, they can reach almost any point in the city through the sewers.


    This is good news.


    Rather, this may be the actual route of the level.


    Players at this stage basically don''t have much strength, and their props are basically limited to the most common weapons¡ª¡ª such as daggers and firearms, and the effectiveness of them are also limited by the player''s own level. Therefore, it''s obviously not a good idea to give a dungeon that is too hard at the beginning of the game, not to mention that the difficulty level of this dungeon is originally ¡¶low¡·.


    But in this situation, if they are forced to move by ground to the rescue location, it obviously doesn''t match the difficulty.


    Don¡¯t look at the protagonists in zombie novels and movies with unparalleled strength. In fact, if a zombie crisis really broke out, 99.99% of ordinary people in reality will become unparalleled zombies, not unparalleled protagonists.


    This is the case even if the threat of zombies is lowered by one level.


    Therefore, providing them with a less dangerous path under this kind of threat almost matches the difficulty standard.


    Of course, this must also require players to use their brains, such as getting a navigation tool before the situation develops to the worst¡ª¡ª otherwise, let alone the sewer route, they wouldn''t even know where the rescue is.


    The four of them were obviously lucky. The navigation showed that there was a sewer entrance in the alley next to the hotel. It was only a few steps away, but it was not easy to take these few steps.


    The streets were full of infected people, and they would definitely attract those guys just by opening the gate.


    "How do we do it? Rush?"


    The fat man looked at the others and asked.


    Murong Yue answered immediately.


    "Why don''t you go out to attract aggro, and we''ll open the manhole cover¡ª¡ª anyway, you have meat, you can resist the collisions."


    "Go die."


    The fat man rolled his eyes at her directly.


    If he gets hit again, he would probably have to kneel down.


    "Just go out."


    Ling Mo gave an idea.


    "Even if we attract a few, it''s not a big problem, as long as we can enter the sewer in time, we will be safe."


    He didn''t believe that the sewers were full of infected people.


    Xia Xinyan also nodded.


    "Just do it this way, the simplest way is sometimes the most effective."


    "Okay."


    the fat man stepped forward and unlocked the door.


    "Old Ling, you are the only one of the four of us who has a long gun, you have to cover us."


    "Don''t worry, I will."


    Ling Mo loaded the rifle and got ready.


    The action of opening the door did not alarm the infected people outside, but after the four of them came out of the hotel quietly, the infected people wandering on the street at the door noticed them, and the one closest to them immediately yelled "do", then turned around and rushed towards them.


    Ling Mo was much more straightforward this time, he aimed at the guy''s torso and pulled the trigger. The bullet penetrated the infected person''s body in an instant, and the force directly caused the guy to fall to the ground and roll several times, then¡ª¡ª


    BOOM¡ª¡ª!!


    The whole body burst, and all kinds of messy things splashed out, covering a large area with a layer of bloody mist, but after a few seconds, it disappeared, leaving only the body. There was a shallow pit with a diameter of more than one meter in the ground, which got cracked.


    The fat man was dumbfounded on the spot.


    "Fuck, this shit is a little foul!"


    Isn''t there really a bomb in their bodies?!


    "Foul this, foul that, just hurry up!"


    Ling Mo snorted, put down two infected who were rushing towards their side, and retreated into the alley while being vigilant.


    The self-explosion of the first infected had already attracted many people around, and there were more gathering. If they stayed here for even a second, the danger would be doubled.


    Xinyan and Murong had already arrived at the entrance of the sewer for the first time. The manhole cover was not sealed, but there as a lot of weight, so it''s really difficult for them to carry it with bare hands.


    After several attempts to no avail, the fat man squeezed over directly.


    "Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the professional do it!"


    Xia directly gave up her position, turned around and went to help Ling Mo deal with the incoming infected people. The width of the alley was limited, and the self-explosion of the downed infected people became a barrier that hindered the subsequent charge, which also gave a little bit of time to the four of them.


    However, the power of the explosion caused a lot of damage to the surrounding buildings. It''s estimated that after so many explosions, even if they can hold on, the walls on both sides may not be able to.


    Fortunately, the fat man didn''t put shame to his weight. Although his face was getting red, he moved the manhole cover aside, revealing the situation in the sewer.


    He wanted to hit Murong Yue who was lying beside him to check the situation.


    "...This stinks!"


    She immediately took a few steps back holding her nose, with disgust on her face.


    "Come on, do we really have to walk more than ten kilometers here?"


    "Then you want to be blown to death by those lunatics?"


    The fat man glanced at the group of infected people who were getting closer and closer to them, covered his nose and got into the sewer.


    Murong Yue struggled in her heart for a few seconds, but she still compromised and climbed in.


    "I''m going to get stomachache playing this game..."


    On the other side, Xia once again knocked down an infected person who rushed over from the explosion of the blood mist, and the pistol didn''t have any more ammunition in the magazine. She put down the pistol, turned around and ran down the sewer entrance.


    "Ah Mo! Let''s go!"


    "Okay..."


    Ling Mo stepped back while aiming at the blood mist, and quickly came to the manhole.


    "You go down first, and I''ll be behind."


    However, Xinyan didn''t let him be a hero this time.


    "You go down first!"


    She had already changed the magazine for her pistol, but Ling Mo¡¯s rifle bullets probably have bottomed out, not to mention that the long gun would affect the speed of movement even more. Now that Ling Mo was in a more dangerous situation than her, he had to go first.


    Ling Mo''s didn''t react around for a while.


    "No, you first..."


    Before he finished speaking, he finally emptied his magazine and couldn''t help but pause.


    "Hurry up!"


    Looking at the infected person who had already rushed in front of her, Xia gritted her teeth, and pulled Ling Mo behind her, holding her pistol in front of him.


    "Are you trying to die for love?!"


    ''Why is this guy so stupid?! Playing a hero also depends on the timing! Will you die if you think about the actual situation a little bit?!''


    ¡ª¡ªThis is the first time she has spoken to Ling Mo in such a strong tone.


    But just like him, she is a person who is easy to get serious as soon as she plays games, especially ¡¶The God¡¯s Realm¡·, which involves the future. Normally, she can cooperate with Ling to let him take the lead, but in this kind of moment where the group might be wiped out if he is not careful, she can''t let him mess around again.


    In short, she got serious.


    She also successfully convinced Ling Mo.


    As if being yelled at by the teacher, "Hurry up and do your homework", her commanding words subconsciously made him follow suit, putting away the gun, turning around and getting into the sewer.


    "Hurry up you too..."


    At this moment, another infected person broke through the blood fog and rushed towards him. This time, the distance between him and Xia Xinyan was less than a few meters.


    The pushing power of a pistol is far inferior to that of a rifle, and even if she can knock this guy down in the first place, it''s estimated that the self-detonation can blow her up, so Xinyan didn''t plan to use conventional methods at all.


    At that moment, her pupils suddenly turned into blood red, and she directly controlled the infected person, making him stop in front of her, then turned around suddenly and rushed into the blood mist again, where she couldn''t see clearly. There were several deafening explosions.


    Then...


    The wall collapsed.


    The walls on both sides of the alley finally couldn''t withstand such frequent explosions, and collapsed in an instant under the strain, almost burying everyone in the alley under the rubble in the next moment.


    Xia was startled, then made a decisive decision, turning around and jumped into the sewer.


    Then she bumped on Ling Mo who was still climbing on the ladder, and she fell into the pile of garbage at the bottom with him.

 CH 48

    Succubus Healing Method


    The collapsed buildings directly covered the entrance, and there were several vibrations from above. Fortunately, the ground was still strong and withstood these subsequent shocks.


    The city''s sewers are very large, and the height alone is estimated to be about three meters, which is similar to sewers in games.


    That''s why they chose to go down one by one just now. After all, they didn''t know what was waiting for them below, and the height wasn''t the kind that wouldn''t hurt if they jumped down.


    But the situation just now didn''t give Xinyan time to go down slowly, unless she wanted to be smashed.


    And when she jumped down, Ling Mo had just climbed half way.


    So the current posture of the two is a bit complicated¡ª¡ª


    Ling Mo was lying on the ground sprawled, while Xia sat straddling his waist, with her hands lightly resting on his chest, with her looking at him with her head slightly lowered, and with the long hair drooped, brushing his face lightly, while she''s giving a smile.


    ¡ª¡ªIf you ignore the garbage and sewage around you, and Ling Mo''s current state of almost hemiplegia, this scene is the same as a love drama.


    Yes, Ling Mo fell and broke his bones...


    As the one underneath, he suffered a much greater impact than Xinyan. Although there was a layer of rubbish on the ground, he was hit by such a blow without any precautions, and he didn''t make any self-protection moves, even if the height was only about one meter, the damage was really serious.


    He didn''t quite understand whether his heart was beating faster because he was looking at Xia or if he was dying.


    But... No matter how you look at it, it''s really pretty... Xia Xinyan.


    "Ah Mo... Are you alright?"


    Xinyan''s voice seemed to come from afar, making Ling Mo''s vague consciousness gradually clear.


    He saw the worry on her face.


    Just looking at each other for a moment, this brief concern, made Ling Mo feel that his fall was worth it.


    He''s actually quite an easy-going guy.


    "I... I''m fine."


    Resisting the pain in his body, he took several deep breaths before he could barely make a sound.


    "You guys go... Don''t worry about me."


    He probably couldn''t walk like this now, and it was hard to even get up.


    There is no need to hold them back, just wait for them to leave and commit suicide later.


    But to be honest, the pain setting of this game is really painful...


    "Old Ling, you..."


    Fatty shook his head helplessly.


    "Forget it, we will remember your contribution, Old Ling, go at ease."


    "We''re leaving."


    Murong Yue urged.


    "If we don''t leave, it may be too late."


    Xia Xinyan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice.


    "You two go first, Ah Mo and I will follow later."


    "We go first?"


    Murong Yue frowned slightly.


    "Come on, us two don''t even have directions, where do we go?"


    "In that way, turn left at the first intersection and go straight ahead."


    Xia Xinyan pointed in a direction.


    Murong Yue wanted to say something, but the fat man went over to block her, and gave her a wink.


    "Okay, let''s go first."


    Murong Yue paused, but still followed the fat man.


    The two of them hadn''t gone far before she leaned close to Fatty and said in a low voice.


    "Go slowly, what if she plans to get rid of us and go alone?"


    "No, why would she walk alone? The risk isn''t worth compared to being together. It''s time for a young couple to say goodbye, so why can''t we let them chat alone? "


    "Tch... It''s not real, it''s just a game."


    "Maybe they don''t treat this as a game?"


    Murong Yue didn''t say anything more.


    On the other side, Xia was still sitting on top of Ling Mo, as if thinking about something.


    Noticing that the other two had gone far away, Ling Mo said weakly.


    "Xinyan, you can go too, leave me alone..."


    "Wait."


    Xinyan raised her hand to gently cover his mouth.


    "I have a way... To heal you."


    She has never forgotten that her succubus ability also has a healing skill.


    It''s just that she doesn''t know how to use this healing skill.


    Generally speaking, after the player awakened it, the general idea will appear in the players mind, and about proficiency, it''s at beginners level.


    It''s like a driving school student who has just finished subject two and hasn''t started subject three yet.


    But Xinyan''s problem now is that she doesn''t even know which pedal is the accelerator.


    As for the healing skills, she was completely blank.


    That''s outrageous.


    ¡ª¡ªOf course, it''s also possible that there is a bug that leads to lack of knowledge in this area. After all, this succubus ability comes from a third-party system.


    ¡¾The host should not look at this system with these thoughts, this will affect the harmony between this system and the host¡¿


    ''Stop talking nonsense, how do I heal?''


    ¡¾Hasn''t the host seen succubus-related works?¡¿


    ''...''


    Xia suddenly had an ominous premonition.


    ¡¾The succubus itself has a healing effect, which is one of the passive effects.¡¿


    Frog''s subsequent words also seemed to confirm her guess from the side.


    But she still wanted to struggle.


    ''Your sister is the passive effect, speak human language.''


    ¡¾...It''s not cute for a girl to say that.¡¿


    ¡¾Succubus body fluids, saliva, and all liquids have healing effects, the host only needs to feed the original body¡¿


    ''...''


    It was fulfilled.


    This setting is really like a succubus.


    But...


    ''Is there any other way?''


    ¡¾No, the healing effect is only a succubus trait, which can be classified as a passive ability, which is why the host failed to obtain relevant knowledge¡¿


    Xia fell into silence.


    Ling Mo looked at her for a while, seeing that she hadn''t continued, he couldn''t help asking tentatively.


    "Xinyan?"


    Xia pursed her lips.


    She was thinking about what she was going to do.


    If all the fluids on her body had healing effects, then her first thought was to feed Ling Mo her own blood. But she is not sure how strong her current healing ability is. If she does it it wrong, it wouldn''t be enough to heal Ling Mo, and may even affect herself, which is obviously not safe.


    What''s more, in such a messy environment, it may cause negative effects such as infection, it''s not worth it.


    So after all, trying blood shouldn''t be the way.


    Then the second option... Is saliva.


    ...A little gross.


    And what can she do to make Ling Mo accept this approach? He~tui?1


    She was afraid that she would cast a psychological shadow on him.


    Excluding this method, the rest is... French kissing.


    ...But it''s hard to accept.


    The kiss she gave Ling Mo last time was only a light touch, so she didn''t feel like she lost, but now she has to kiss with tongue?


    Let Ling Mo die here, forget it, she can live without Ling Mo''s power...


    No, no, if that''s the case, wouldn''t the dungeon be for nothing? She gets no points again.


    Do you really have to kiss?


    So why did she have to do this?! And why does she have no burden in her heart at all, the only thing she complains about is that she still feels that she is the one losing?!


    Shouldn''t she be against this kind of thing?!


    Has he really been assimilated by this body?!2


    And what made her even more indignant was why she didn''t have the slightest idea about this! This problem is serious!


    ¡¾Isn''t this good news?¡¿


    ''Shut up!''


    Gritting her teeth, all the grief and indignation in her heart turned into determination at this moment, she bent down abruptly, and pressed her lips to the person under her.


    The scene suddenly fell silent.


    TL notes


    1. The sound effect of spitting, the author himself leaved like this, i didn¡¯t even had to translate it thankfully.


    2. Xia specifically calls herself ¡°he¡±, she did call herself that sometimes in previous chapters, but more often than not the stared calling herself ¡°she¡±.


    Ahahaha! Xia is finally getting stuck in a trap~ Better lookout or you¡¯ll have feelings for Ling Mo before you even notice~


    Sorry for the delay! I have no excuse for not posting anything until now, I was completely addicted to reading stuff from Novelpia, to the point I even tried buying the membership (I wasn¡¯t able to though, my bank declined it and the support is jack shit. *cries in a corner*)


    I recommend you reading these novels from there:


    ¨C ??????? ??? ??? (Became the leader of a monster circus)


    ¨C ts ??? ? ???? ?? ????. (The protagonist in a TS possession novel is obsessed with me.)


    ¨C ? ???? ?? ? ??? (My ex-fianc¨¦ is a villain in a ropan)


    ¨C ??? ???? ?????? (Doing multiple suicides in front of the tsundere)


    By the way, using the ¡°translate page¡± from Microsoft Edge seems to work, but sometimes half the chapter gets completely merged and you need to manually screenshot the entire chapter to image translate it, or extract the Korean words from the image AND THEN put in the translator.


    Sorry for the long note, as always, any errors tell me and I hope you had fun~

 CH 49

    Are You Alive?


    Ling Mo''s wasn''t in the best spot.


    He broke three ribs¡ª¡ª maybe it was broken by Xia Xinyan falling on his body, and one of the ribs pierced an internal organ. This is already a serious injury, so when he saw the long row of status effects, he was ready to give up.


    He just wanted to wait for Xinyan to leave, so that he could quit.


    However, Xia did not choose to leave until the end, which moved him.


    Even the injuries on his body seemed to be less painful.


    This is obviously just a game, but at this moment, it''s like reality, which really makes Ling Mo feel a sense of regret at parting from life and death.


    ¡ª¡ªHe is the one who is being sent away.


    Anyway... It made him feel warm.


    He has never experienced the feeling of real death, but it''s probably similar to the feeling simulated by the game. When he has very sick, he thought about whether someone would cry for him when he was on the verge of death¡ª¡ª the answer he got was no.


    At that time, he felt really sad. After living this life, what is left in the end?


    ¡ª¡ªThis seems to involve the scope of philosophy again, so he didn''t think about it anymore.


    But now, he seemed to experience the feeling he once wanted.


    Of course, Xinyan didn''t cry, but just sat on him and kept silent, but Ling Mo benefited from this silent watch, at least at this moment, he can be sure that he really was something in Xia Xinyan''s heart.


    That''s enough.


    ¡ª¡ªUntil she suddenly kissed him.


    The garbage and soaked sewage under his body had already caused him to lose a lot of body temperature, and his body was gradually losing consciousness, but because of this kiss, it seemed that the night sky with dark clouds were lifted, revealed the sky full of stars again.


    The impact it brought to him far surpassed the first superficial touch.


    Perhaps, this will become a scene he will never forget.


    The kiss lasted for a long time.


    No... This may not even be considered a kiss, the two of them have absolutely no experience in this area, Xia is just going all out to heal Ling Mo, and he has completely fallen into a shutdown state, foolishly allowing her actions, not noticing his own changes.


    He was recovering quickly from his injuries.


    Whether it was blood loss, body temperature, or even the broken ribs, they were quickly healed at a speed that completely violated common sense, and within a short time, he regained his ability to move.


    As if sensing his change, Xia Xinyan suddenly got up and let go of him, got up from him, and stood aside in embarrassment.


    "You... You should have recovered now, right?"


    Ling Mo paused for a moment before he finally came to his senses¡ª¡ª his injuries seemed to have recovered.


    Even the few negative effects accumulated before disappeared, and there is only one ¡¶Weakness¡· left in his current status bar.


    The only negative effect is to slightly reduce the upper limit of action speed and strength, which is completely harmless to him now.


    Could it be... Because of her?


    That kiss just now... Was it to treat him?


    "You..."


    He got up from the ground, and looked at Xia Xinyan with a strange expression.


    "Just now..."


    "Cough."


    Xia Xinyan picked up the pistol that had been dropped by the side, turned around and walked forward.


    "Let''s catch up with Murong Yue and Da Ri, they probably have gone far..."


    The only light source in the sewer is the ceiling lamps, which is located every ten meters or so. The light is very dim, and you can barely see the surrounding situation, but even so, Ling Mo still caught the blush on Xia Xinyan''s face before she turned around.


    She''s... Shy?


    After a pause of two seconds, he couldn''t help but giggle.


    How she cured himself is not the point now. Everyone has their own little secret, even between lovers. Although Ling Mo has a strong desire to control, he will not cross the bottom line by asking, he can wait for when she''s willing to tell him.


    Besides, anyway, he was the one who took advantage just now.


    But what Ling Mo cares about now is... She is actually shy.


    She was so shy that she didn''t even want to make eye contact with him for a second, and hurriedly chased after the two people in front. From this point of view, it can be seen that he got much more information than before.


    Xia had always shown a strong desire to take the lead before, and there were many hints, while he didn''t notice it sometimes, the times he did it would feel awkward. From the perspective of their relationship, this was a bit excessive. Although it was not a bad thing, it just made him not know how to deal with it.


    How to say it... He doesn''t know how to act when flattered.


    But looking at it now... It seems that Xinyan''s essence is far from her appearance.


    If she really was that casual about sex as she had shown him before, then the behavior just now was probably a trivial matter to her, and she definitely wouldn''t let it affect her.


    So if he wasn''t stupid, he would understand what this meant¡ª¡ª she was faking it.


    Why pretend, he doesn''t know.


    Does she like to tease him?


    Thinking of this possibility, Ling Mo was silent for a few seconds, then put his act together.


    ''Forget it, no matter what... Who doesn''t like a girl who is open on the surface but is actually very pure in her heart.''


    ''What''s more, it''s my girlfriend.''


    ''And it seems to be only open to myself.''


    He wanted to laugh again.


    Fatty and Murong Yue didn''t go far, and deliberately slowed down to wait for Xia Xinyan to catch up, but when they saw Ling Mo following up, Fatty was still surprised for a moment.


    "You are alive?"


    Ling Mo smiled.


    "Isn''t it a surprise?"


    "A real surprise..."


    Fatty looked him up and down for a few seconds, then frowned.


    "How did you recover?"


    He fell badly before, and Fatty and Murong Yue were watching with their own eyes. Even if he didn''t know the extent of his injury, he probably could have guessed that he had been in a serious position for a month or two, so he being able to survive like this, and in such a good shape was a surprise to him.


    Is there any special medicine?


    Hearing this, Ling Mo glanced at Xia Xinyan at the side from the corner of his eye.


    At the moment, she was lowering her head and fiddling with the navigation on her mobile phone, as if she had nothing to do with it.


    Ling Mo couldn''t help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and said casually.


    "Secret."


    The fat man paused and shrugged his shoulders.


    "Okay, I won''t ask any more questions, but we probably have to speed up the travel. Now it''s estimated that there are only over two hours left, and we may not be able to reach in more than ten kilometers do."


    "It''s okay, even if you can''t catch up with the rescue, the game will provide other ways to clear the level."


    Xia said in a low voice.


    "As long as you can leave the city before the five-hour limit."


    The army clearing operation that the game reminded before should be the deadline of this dungeon. The game will continue to provide players with customs clearance methods before the deadline, but if they exceed it and have not escaped, they can only wait for death.


    The fat man responded.


    "Anyway, if you can clear the goal earlier, you can finish it earlier do, and if it is delayed for a long time, it will be easy for accidents to happen do."


    Ling Mo suddenly stopped and looked at Fatty.


    "Wait, what did you say?"


    "Huh? I said finish it earlier do..."


    The fat man subconsciously repeated it, and then he was taken aback.


    The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.


    Click!


    Until the sound of pulling the slide broke the silence, Murong Yue raised the loaded pistol and took a few steps back to distance herself from the fat man. Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo then moved away from Fatty, looking at him with a bit of vigilance.


    Fatty: "..."


    Fuck.

    Are You A Human Or A Ghost?


    No one present was a fool. After a day of contact with the infected, even if they didn''t have a detailed understanding of their behavior, they basically knew the general process. Reddened skin may be the most intuitive sign of infection, but it doesn''t mean it''s the only one.


    Ling Mo, who has had close contact with a person''s mutation process before, can be said to have the most right to speak.


    Especially the "do" that startled him so much.


    So when he noticed that the fat man also had this way of talking at the end of his words, he immediately thought of that man.1


    Although the others did not see the stranger mutate with their own eyes, but hearing Ling Mo suddenly raise this question, and when they think about the charging behavior of those infected people before, the result will be no different.


    Including Fatty himself, he was the second person to realize this after Ling Mo, otherwise he would not have spoken halfway and fall silent.


    ¡ª¡ªHe was infected.


    In this situation, It''s a desperately bad news.


    "...Brothers."


    He forced a smile and took a step forward, as if trying to explain something.


    "Don''t..."


    Murong Yue who was closest to him immediately took several steps back.


    "Don''t move! Are you a human or a ghost?!"2


    "...Of course I''m a human do!"


    The fat man gritted his teeth.


    "I haven''t mutated yet, do!"


    Then he became even more nervous.


    "Fuck, why did I say do! Damn, don''t say do!"


    "Da Ri, calm down first."3


    Ling Mo frowned, and said in a serious voice.


    "Can you still control your emotions? We need to determine the degree of your infection."


    The fat man immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down.


    "Hiss... Okay, I can still calm down."


    "But we don''t have a vaccine now, so we can''t save you, right? How about I give you relief now? It''s better to go offline now and go to bed earlier."


    Murong Yue suggested very sincerely.


    "Piss off do!"


    The fat man glared at her.


    "Then what the hell am I trying to do by walking such a long sewer? When you pass the level will you give me points do?"


    Murong Yue stopped talking.


    The fat man took another deep breath, gritted his teeth and said.


    "Hurry up, go to the rescue as soon as we can do."


    "Then what if you can''t hold on halfway?"


    Murong Yue still couldn''t help asking.


    "Then you don''t need to worry, I will kill myself."


    "You said it."


    "I said it."


    Ling Mo clapped his hands.


    "Then go."


    After such a scene, the speed of the four of them has increased again. Fortunately, there is not much sewage in the sewer except for a lot of garbage. The environment being comparable to a underground highway has helped them a lot¡ª¡ª except for the stink.


    But after smelling it for a long time they got used to it.


    Ling Mo stayed by Xia Xinyan''s side the whole time, focusing on observing the fat man''s changes. The pistol at his waist was loaded, and he was ready to shoot the fat man at any time.


    If the fat man is infected to the final stage in the sewer, then his self-destruct explosion may directly lead to the destruction of the group. No matter what, we must be prepared to deal with the fat man before that.


    Of course, the premise is that the fat man has lost his mind.


    The previous man''s mutation process can''t be said to be short or long. From the very beginning, he started saying "do" at the end of his words. He is not sure about his specific infection time, so it is impossible to speculate on the incubation period. But the game gave a reminder before that the incubation period is half an hour to one day, and there may not be much time left for Fatty.


    At that time, he wont hold back.


    In order to protect Xia Xinyan.


    It''s not really killing him anyway.


    But the fat man was lucky, until everyone arrived at their destination, his skin didn''t turn red at all.


    But at this moment, another problem stood in front of them.


    The navigation shows that the building where the extraction point is located is in the center of one of the busiest commercial districts in the city. There are four buildings in total, with a very large square in the middle. The distance between each building is not close, and... On the GPS it didn''t specify which of the buildings.


    "The rescue point is in Block A? Can''t you find out which building it is?"


    Murong Yue''s expression was a little hard.


    "Try another way to search? What about Block A? Or just A?"


    "No."


    Xia Xinyan shook her head.


    "It''s probably the difficulty given by the game, it just depends on luck."


    "Then what if you choose the wrong one?"


    "They''re only one block away."


    Xia Xinyan looked up at the sewer exit in front of them.


    "Let''s go up from here."


    The early dungeons may reduce the difficulty for the players, but it can''t be without challenges, not to mention that this is the final mission.


    "I''ll be the first to go up."


    Seeing that Xia said she was about to take the lead, Ling Mo immediately went over to interrupt her.


    "I''ll go up first to see if it''s safe."


    Xinyan paused, then pursed her lips slightly.


    "Ok."


    Ling Mo took a deep breath, then climbed up the stairs, pushed open the manhole cover forcefully, poked his head out and looked around.


    This location is right next to one of the buildings. The four buildings are distributed in the four corners of the block, which gives a grande felling. There are many infected people wandering, but none of them noticed their movements.


    Ling Mo beckoned to the people below.


    "You can come up."


    The appearance of these four buildings looks exactly the same, there is no difference, and the height alone is estimated to be fifty or sixty floors, but there is good news that there is a corridor connecting the four buildings at two-thirds of the height, and you can pass through the connecting corridor. Even if the wrong building is chosen, there is still a chance.


    So the four of them didn''t stay too long, and went directly into the closest building.


    And once they got in, they realized something was wrong¡ª¡ª


    The entire hall on the first floor was full of traces of shots and explosions.


    "This place was attacked?"


    The fat man looked around and frowned.


    "No..."


    Ling Mo squatted down and picked up a bullet casing on the ground.


    "Maybe other players arrived first."


    There are eight players in this dungeon, but they haven''t seen the other four until now. Unless they are unlucky and all die, they all have to come here to find rescue.


    Considering that they have never seen the police army suppressing riots, it''s not difficult to guess who fired the bullet casing.


    And soon, the new hints given by the game also confirmed this point¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Important news: The search for survivors is complete, all targets have arrived at the evacuation location, and the cleanup operation will be advanced to half an hour, all survivors are requested to evacuate in time¡·


    All four of them have one goal.


    Murong Yue turned around and ran upstairs.


    "Hurry up! We''re going to die!"


    The fat man immediately stopped her.


    "What are you doing it?! You plan to climb up all the way?!"


    "Then you still plan to take the elevator?"


    Murong Yue glanced back at him.


    "What if the door is blocked?"


    "...Right do."


    The fat man touched his chin, but still followed.


    Ling Mo looked back at Xia Xinyan.


    "Do you want to take the stairs?"


    "Hmm..."


    Xia raised her eyebrows, her tone with a little bit of teasing.


    "Didn''t you notice... The elevator is moving?"


    TL notes


    1. I¡¯m going to the previous chapters and changing the ¡°do¡± position to the end of all the phrases, even if the author himself doesn¡¯t do that every time, i think that¡¯s the best way.


    2. A little tough to explain, directly taken from google: Gw¨¢i (¹í) means ¡°ghost¡± or ¡°devil¡±. It is sometimes translated into English as ¡°foreign devil¡±. In Chinese, ¡°ghost¡± can be a derogatory term used as a curse or an insult.


    3. NO WAY, the author called Da Ri by his name?! It¡¯s been so long¡­

    Why Is The Script Different?


    The player community is an absolutely peaceful world for players to conduct social activities, it''s created and managed by the game system. Players are allowed to use abilities, but they are not allowed to take any destructive actions¡ª¡ª including wounding and terrain damage, anyone who violates this rule will be banned from the game, the system warns and kicks out the player who breaks the rules. If you violate it multiple times, you will be banned from the world and deducted game points, among other serious punishments.


    So generally no one will make trouble, as there''s no reason to.


    The player community is divided into many areas, the basic purpose is the same, the only difference is the scenery. Any place that can be seen in reality can be found in the community, even the sceneries that cannot be seen in reality can also be experienced here¡ª¡ª such as space, Mars and so on.


    Therefore, after the game has been released on a large scale, the player community has become the most popular part of the game, even surpassing the dungeons itself. Some people buy a game pod not to play, but to visit the player community. This type of accounts are a relatively big proportion of players.


    After all, there is no need to fight to death in the dungeon, and there is no money needed to visit the scenic spots.


    It''s just that the game hasn''t been fully released yet. Most of the players who got the game pod came for the main attraction of the game. Let alone the player community, there are probably many people who don''t know that there is this function.


    Xia Xinyan chose a mountain place at random. This type of community is usually one of the most popular categories, but now the system shows that there are only two of them in this community server.


    A true world of two.


    It is worth mentioning that, if the social aspect is put aside, the community world and the private space are actually similar on the surface. After all, players can customize the scenery of the private space by themselves, and they can achieve any scenery they want. But at least from Xia Xinyan''s point of view, the difference between the two is quite big.


    No matter how the player arranges their private space, every scene in it is too familiar to the player himself, and the novelty get lost from the very beginning. Moreover, the private space has a maximum space limit, and it is impossible to build a large scene. Furthermore... Many people like to travel everywhere, just to see places that they have never seen before.


    Anyway, Xia in her previous life liked to visit the player community.


    In which maybe there would''ve been some kind of love affair.


    ¡ª¡ªOf course, this delusion was not realized until she died.


    Not to mention Xia Xinyan who has been in the player community for a long time, but for Ling Mo who entered the community world for the first time, this scene was quite shocking.


    He has traveled a lot before, but he has rarely seen such pure natural scenery. Instead, what impresses him most is either the crowds or the cars, so he doesn''t really like traveling... To be precise, he doesn''t like traveling during holidays.


    But if those shortcomings of travel can be put aside, he is still very happy to see the outside world.


    Not to mention... With Xia Xinyan.


    So when he heard her mention the phrase "two-person world", he couldn''t help but feel a little dazed.


    Suddenly, he felt how great it would be if this game was real. If he could really spend his whole life with Xia in this kind of place... It doesn''t matter if it''s a two-person world for a while, then he would''ve been extremely happy¡ª¡ª in various ways.


    "Let''s go."


    Xia Xinyan took his hand again and said with a smile.


    "Let''s go for a walk."


    There is a lake in the valley ahead, and there is a sightseeing passage leading directly to where they are. It is a good route for a walk after dinner.


    And chat while walking.


    "How much profit did you get from yesterday''s dungeon?"


    Xia Xinyan asked softly as she walked slowly and looked at the scenery on the side of the road.


    Ling Mo paused.


    "I haven''t seen it yet."


    He went to find Xia after yesterday''s dungeon, and he didn''t care much about the income from the dungeon right now.


    "Then let''s have a look."


    Xia Xinyan stretched out her left hand and showed a watch she was wearing on her wrist.


    "After clearing the dungeon a second time, a new function will be unlocked."


    The watch is in the style of an electronic watch. It is black and inconspicuous, only showing the time on the surface and nothing else. It seems to be nothing special.


    Ling Mo took a look at it, then curiously opened his dungeon income information.


    Clearing the dungeon gave 2.000 base game points, 2.000 mission reward game points, and 9.000 performance reward game points. The dungeon evaluation even reached SS. This result surprised him.


    "Why do I have so many game points?"


    In particular, there are actually 9.000 game points for performance rewards, which would be nine hundred in cash.


    It even gave him the feeling that making money through games is easy.


    "Maybe it''s because you detonated those bombs in the end."


    Xia Xinyan smiled.


    "If all monster self-explosions count as the number of kills, then your dungeon performance is definitely the best among all of us."


    Hearing this, Ling Mo immediately remembered the controller that Xia Xinyan handed him last.


    Was it the thing that detonated those three bombs...


    "You... Why give me the chance?"


    He hesitated.


    "Because."


    Xia Xinyan''s smile remained unchanged.


    "You will be stronger than me in the future¡ª¡ª and it''s only natural for a boyfriend to protect his girlfriend, right? You can''t let me protect you after surpassing you, right?"


    Ling Mo paused slightly.


    "Ah...that''s right."


    Makes sense.


    Indeed, he had sworn in his heart that he would protect Xia Xinyan and the one who would carry her. If she really surpassed him, it would be too shameful.


    Tsk, anyway, he is also a person who has played games since he was a child, so it is impossible for him to be compared with the young lady.


    It seems that he has to find an opportunity to grind, not to mention increasing his skills, and at least gain more experience.


    "Then... Xinyan, how many points did you get?"


    After making a decision in his heart, Ling Mo asked aloud.


    Xia Xinyan didn''t seem to care too much.


    "7.000 game points, it''s quite a lot."


    It is indeed a lot, but compared with Ling Mo, it seems a bit low. The gap of nearly double makes him feel a little weird.


    Although it was just a game, and Xia Xinyan also gave the reason, this kind of thing still made Ling Mo feel like he was being carried.


    Of course he would like to be strong, but not in this way.


    Xia Xinyan did not notice his strangeness, but continued to chat about the system.


    "There is also this watch, which is our newly unlocked function. You can get it after getting the game points."


    Ling Mo nodded, and after confirming the income, the system gave a new prompt¡ª¡ª


    ¡¶Unlocked "Space Watch"¡·


    At the same time, a watch similar to Xia Xinyan''s suddenly appeared on his left wrist, and the functions and effects were also posted in front of him.


    To put it simply, it is a portable space that can store most items, which is of great help to players.


    "It''s much more convenient..."


    After reading these functions, Ling Mo touched his watch and muttered in a low voice.


    Xia Xinyan looked at the lake in the distance, and said with a light smile.


    "It would be great if we could have such a watch in reality, so that we can take everything with us, and the two of us can go on a casual trip together and enjoy it once. A real two-person world must be very romantic, right?"


    Hearing this, Ling Mo paused for a moment, and then laughed. Although his tone was casual, he also had a hint of seriousness.


    "Aren''t we just in a two-person world now? Even though it''s a game, it''s pretty realistic. It''s just the two of us In this world, even if you do something that a couple would do... no one else will know."


    "...Huh?"


    Xia paused.


    ¡ª¡ªShouldn''t he be teased by what she said just now to the point where he blushes and stammers?


    Why is the script different?

    I Take The Initiative On My Girlfriend


    1. It had this saying ¡°boil a frog in warm water¡± in the paragraph. The meaning is that if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water it will instantly leap out. But if you put it in a pot filled with pleasantly tepid water and gradually heat it, the frog will remain in the water until it boils to death. I removed it because it felt a little weird.

    2. The MTL says ¡°Doesn¡¯t this dump Fatty Eight Hundred Streets?¡±. So not sure about this.

I still remember when I played Genshin nonstop, completing the entire content available at that point (2.1 version) and got no new characters whatsoever¡­ Pain.


    And FGO¡­ Let¡¯s not talk about that.

    1. I believe the author is referring to ÎÂij (Wen Mou?). This guy created an accident where he crashed his car into a crowd. 5 dead and 13 injured. He purposely drove his car on pedestrian roads and facilities to vent his emotions. If you are interested, just search for the 2 Chinese words, it¡¯s everywhere. Pretty serious too, form what I understood he had a very heavy sentence. Not sure but maybe even death¡­?
