Chapter 13: Sudden Enthusiasm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After who knew how long… when Zhang Xinying woke up from a deep sleep, it was already early evening outside the French window.

Perhaps it was because she was sleeping in a familiar environment that Zhang Xinying finally slept peacefully this time.

It was also the first time that she did not dream of that annoying figure in the past six months.

Although Zhang Xinying looked relaxed in front of Mu Lingxue, the pain she endured in her heart was indescribable.

When you put your heart into someone, how could you let it go so easily?

At least, Zhang Xinying had been trying hard for over half a year, but she had never truly let go of this relationship.

As long as she was free, that figure would immediately appear like a scoundrel, defying her of her much-needed peace of mind.

It was as if a constant reminder of his existence; she felt both bitter and helpless.

Although she was a little reluctant to part with him in her first dream, perhaps this would be a good start.

“Xinying, come on. You can do better without him.”

After a bit of a self-pick-me-up, Zhang Xinying washed up and headed out.

On the sofa in the living room outside the door, Mu Lingxue saw Zhang Xinying coming out and immediately stood up to welcome her.

“You’re finally awake! Let’s have some supper to celebrate your triumphant return.”

Zhang Xinying noticed another tightly shut door.

“Hey, did you lease out this room?”

She had only asked since Mu Lingxue didn’t usually close the door under normal circumstances, especially when no one was staying there.

In Mu Lingxue’s own words, it was for ventilation.

Now that the door was closed, the first thing Zhang Xinying thought was that there had to be someone staying there.

Mu Lingxue was about to say these…

“Because of some reasons, I rented this room to a man.

“He doesn’t seem like a bad person to me, but you should be more careful.

“Tell me if you’re being harassed by him, and I’ll tell him to get lost.”

Lin Yi didn’t know if it was intentional, but Lingxue spoke very loudly as if she was talking to someone.

Lin Yi, who was standing behind the door, smiled bitterly.

At that moment, he really wanted to rush out and hug the person he couldn’t stop thinking about day and night.

However, he knew that he had committed a great sin, and he didn’t have the courage to face it. Or rather, he was afraid.

He was afraid she would reject him, afraid he would lose his only chance to live with her under the same roof.

Feeling their departure, Lin Yi lay helplessly on the bed.

He thought that he could face everything calmly, but when he did, he realized that he was so afraid of losing.

It was then that he realized how cruel he was when he rejected her.

What kind of pain must she have had to endure to face his cruelty?

Amid the endless self-blame and regret, it was already midnight.

Lin Yi finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief as he entered the game again.

It seemed like the best way to escape was to divert his attention.

There would be a game pod for sale in a few days, and he wouldn’t have to log into the game at the exact same time as he did now.

There was no time limit to log in using the game pod because the nutrient fluid was enough for a day’s energy consumption for a human adult.

The nutrient fluid would also synchronize with the body’s physical functions while the person was playing the game, just like a daily activity.

That way, even if one played for three days and three nights in the game pod, there wouldn’t be a series of physiological problems caused by long periods of lack of exercise.

…..

When Lin Yi reappeared in Qingshui village, a huge portal stood on the village square, emitting a strange light around the portal.

This was the portal to the four main cities.

Just as Lin Yi was about to head to the main city, there was a sudden gasp.

Then, a piercing shriek followed.

“Oh my God! Who did I see!”

“Fenghua! That’s Fenghua!”

“Ah!!! It’s really Fenghua!”

“Pinch me. Am I dreaming again?”

The ear-piercing screams continued, startling Lin Yi.

“You know me?”

A female priest suddenly appeared in front of him, her face full of anticipation.

“Fenghua, can you help me level up? I can be your girlfriend in real life, or we can live together!”

Before Lin Yi could react, a female warrior pushed the female priest away.

“Get lost! What’s he to you? Fenghua is mine.”

“No, no, no, no, no. He’s mine. I’m willing to pay Fenghua to help me level up.”

“I’ll pay 1,000 per level!”

“F*ck! Where did this beggar come from? I’ll pay 10,000 per level, plus a night’s sleep.”

“F*ck! Are women so fierce these days?”

Looking at the mess of female players, Lin Yi wasn’t the only one dumbfounded. Even the male players around him were green with envy.

“Who wants someone to carry them? It’s a hundred per level!”

With that roar, someone seemed to have discovered a business opportunity and shouted outside the crowd.

“I don’t charge for carrying people, as long as we can keep each other warm.”

“I’m looking for a girlfriend to level up with me!”

“I’m tall, rich, and handsome in real life. Any pretty girl who needs to form a team?”

…..

Lin Yi looked at the mess around him and felt ten thousand horses whizzing past his mind.

“Who’s going to tell me what’s going on?”

If the game didn’t forbid players from getting too close to each other without permission, Lin Yi had no doubt that he would’ve been torn apart by the crazy women around him at any moment.

“Make way, make way!”

Because of the women around him, Lin Yi was afraid that the system would misunderstand him, so he had no way to push away the passionate women.

He was left dumbfounded.

Since when did he become so famous?

At that moment, a woman suddenly appeared and pulled Lin Yi out.

“F*ck! Which shameless person dared to steal my husband?”

“Stop her!!! Don’t let her steal my God!”

…..

The figure that was pulling Lin Yi suddenly spoke,

“Where are you going?”

Lin Yi didn’t have time to think about anything else. He just wanted to get rid of these crazy women as soon as possible.

“Go to the teleportation array in the middle of the square.”

“Okay, follow me.”

Although the girl was petite, she was still a priest and had a lot of strength under her. She pushed aside the women in front of her and finally brought Lin Yi around the teleportation array.

“Thank you!” Lin Yi said gratefully.

“Hehe, you’re welcome.”

When Lin Yi stood within the range of the portal, he immediately chose to teleport.

‘Please choose the main city!

Vermilion Bird City, Xuanwu City, Azure Dragon City, White Tiger City’

After Lin Yi chose Azure Dragon City, he couldn’t help but look back at the figure who had pulled him out of the sea of bitterness.

“…ID”

Lin Yi was stunned!

“Laughing Frog..”
