Chapter 43

After leaving arrogantly, Gu Bai continued to play in the game world. The reason why he had been in the game world all this time was because Tang Linyi and Song Xianxun's first encounter was during this period of time. Of course, he had to farm regularly.

Soon, Gu Bai ran into Tang Linyi's smurf account after exiting the Arcana Realm. However, he was still one step too late. Song Xianxun's account had already encountered Tang Linyi.

However, there was still hope. Tang Linyi was surrounded and Song Xianxun went up to him.

Because Gu Bai had issued a kill order earlier, Song Xianxun's smurf account, Ningbo Fairy, could not be used again. She had to create another one.

[Human] Thousand Xun Fairy: "What are you doing?

Why did you beat him up so badly?

You're such bullies! "

Song Xianxun exclaimed as she stared at Tang Linyi's smurf, who was covered in blood.

She seemed to have a soft spot for the nickname "Fairy". She did not change the name of her smurf account much this time. Moreover, she used her own name. Even though she did not say who she was, Gu Bai could guess that it was her just by looking at the name.

Looking at the few accounts surrounding Tang Linyi, Gu Bai was not in a hurry to run out for the time being.

His smurf account could not win against so many people. He would not be as stupid as Song Xianxun and run into the muzzle of the gun.

Gu Bai cast an invisibility skill on himself and watched from the side. Song Xianxun continued to talk to the group of players.

[Human] Angry Little Cucumber: "Go away. It's none of your business!"

[Human] Lao Niang Is So Cute: "That's right. Mind your own business. Oh no, you're a female account. I'll kick your boobs."

Song Xianxun could tell from the names of these smurfs that they were either loser or crazy women. Their words made Song Xianxun so angry that her face turned red.

However, she was not stupid. In this situation, she definitely could not beat three people in a fight. Therefore, she could only bluff.

[Human] Thousand Xun Fairy: "Hmph. Why can't we talk things out? How dare you bully me like this …"

Before she could finish her sentence, another person standing next to her killed her as fast as possible.

[Human] Why Pot Take Away When We Broke Up: "Idiot!

Cut the crap, I'm going to KO you right now!

[Human] Lao Niang Is Super Cute: That's right. He's just an idiot. Don't bother about him!

… Hey, stinking brat, you dare to provoke us? You must be tired of living. Let's kill you back to your rookie stage right now.

As soon as Song Xianxun died, the game accounts no longer cared about her. They turned their attention back to Tang Linyi's game account, which was already half dead. He was just a rookie in the Qi Refining stage. How dare he meddle in other people's business? He must be crazy.

As he spoke, Tang Linyi began to counterattack. Everyone started fighting again. For a moment, the realistic simulation of the game made the surroundings extremely dazzling.

Gu Bai stared at the fight without moving. When the time was right, he would rush forward and use an expensive talisman treasure to heavily injure everyone on the battlefield. Then, he would jump out and grab Tang Linyi onto his flying artifact and leave.

Tang Linyi's smurf account was badly beaten. Without a few expensive elixirs, he would have to wait for the system to slowly recover.

However, Tang Linyi did not lack money. Hence, after saving him and bringing him to a safe zone where no fighting was allowed, Tang Linyi recovered and stood up to express his gratitude.

[Human] One Meter of Green Blade: Hello, thank you for just now.

[Human] Bai: It's okay. Those people just now were too despicable. So many of them were bullying a newbie. I saw injustice and decided to help.

Gu Bai naturally knew that Tang Linyi was the one who provoked those players. He deserved to be beaten up. However, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be righteous.

Tang Linyi would not be so stupid as to say that he was the one who provoked them. He smiled and handed a middle-grade elixir to Gu Bai.

[Human] One Meter of Green Blade: You used a talisman treasure just now, right?

That would cost a thousand spiritual stones. I'll compensate you with this elixir.

A thousand spiritual stones was equivalent to a hundred yuan in real life. Although Gu Bai did not lack this hundred yuan, he was just an ordinary poor smurf account. One hundred yuan was a lot.

Gu Bai accepted the elixir with a smile. In order to ensure that Tang Linyi would not meet Song Xianxun during this period of time, he thought for a while and continued to speak.

[Human] Bai: You're welcome. Actually, I didn't save you for nothing. I have a mission and need someone to help me lure monsters. I saw that you were quite good at fighting one against three, so I want to ask you to help me. After the mission is completed, I can give you some of the equipment dropped. What do you think?

He saved you once and you want to lure monsters for him. This was not too much to ask. After thinking for a while, Tang Linyi nodded and agreed readily.

After the other party nodded, Gu Bai hurriedly sent a team request. Then, he took Tang Linyi to a cave and started to fight monsters together.

The reason why Tang Linyi was able to become a guru in the game world was not only because the Tang family gave him money to play, but also because his own operation was very good.

In fact, because this Cultivation was a virtual reality MMORPG, all aspects of the character's data were based on the player's own foundation.

All the players who played the game well basically knew some Taekwondo or martial arts in real life. Therefore, this MMORPG led to a wave of fitness craze.

The two of them cooperated very well. After killing the monsters, Tang Linyi was very surprised by Gu Bai's operation, just like the arrogant one before.

[Human] One Meter of Azure Blade: You're very good at fighting. Have you learned it in real life?

There were many female players in the game, but not many of them played the game well because it involved the physical strength of the players in real life. There were very few delicate girls who could play the game so well. Most of them liked to use magic skills.

[Human] Bai: Yes, your operation is very good too. Have you learned it before?

He actually knew that Tang Linyi looked like a gentle top student in real life, but in fact, he liked to exercise very much. He was a black belt master in Taekwondo.

[Human] One Meter of Azure Blade: I've learned a little.

However, Tang Linyi just nodded slightly. He had a cold personality and would not talk too much to a player he just met.

But today, Gu Bai's main purpose was to get to know him and then add him as a friend. It would be convenient for him to keep an eye on his alternate account for a period of time, so he actively asked.

[Human] Bai: You don't look like you've learned a little. You should be a Taekwondo master just now. You must be a black belt, right?

I'm a traditional martial artist. Recently, I've been quite interested in Taekwondo. Let's add each other as a friend and then exchange ideas.

Tang Linyi did not answer. Obviously, it was a silent refusal. Gu Bai completely pretended not to see it and continued to shamelessly ask for a friend.

[Human] Bai: Hey, don't be like this. I just saved you. Let's add each other as friends. I haven't made any friends in this game yet. It's fate that we met today. Let's add each other. Although I'm a female account, my operation is very good. I definitely won't drag you down when you do missions in the future.

[Human] One Meter of Azure Blade: Okay.

Gu Bai's expression was very sincere and his tone was very eager. Tang Linyi glanced at him and felt that he could not refuse. After hesitating for a while, he agreed.

As soon as he added him as a friend, Gu Bai was overjoyed. He inexplicably felt a happy and joyful message. He knew very well that this was not his emotion at all. It belonged to the original owner.

In the plot, when the original owner entered the game world, not only did he not get close to Tang Linyi, but also involved so many things. Naturally, he felt regretful.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the wish, Gu Bai guessed that the original owner's greatest wish was to fall in love with Tang Linyi. It was just that the stubborn boy was afraid that it would be in vain again and did not dare to say it out loud.

After adding him as a friend, he would be able to find Tang Linyi directly when he went online. Driven by the original owner's emotions, Gu Bai, who originally wanted to delay Tang Linyi and prevent him from meeting Song Xianxun, began to actively ask Tang Linyi's alternate account to do missions with him.

These few days, in order to help Song Xianxun vent her anger, Ling Chen had been sending out kill orders in the World Channel every day. In a short period of time, the two game accounts' Shang Guan Yu 'and' Fairy Ning Bo 'had become famous gossip in the World Channel.

Everyone was speculating about the grudge between them. After all, who would spend money all day sending out kill orders? There were even people who created a topic to discuss on the World Channel.

Most of the discussions were about how arrogant 'Shang Guan Yu' was, how he had killed other people's alternate accounts in the safe zone, how he had bullied 'Fairy Ning Bo' multiple times just because he had money and levels, and how shameless he was.

Someone even said on the World Channel that he was an ugly man in real life, but he still used a female account to cheat a male account in the game.

Then, a series of replies followed, and in an instant, the topic was pushed to the top. For a moment, everyone was calling him shameless, transvestite, damn gay, and so on. They were all trying to smear his reputation.

Gu Bai couldn't be bothered to care about all of this. It was obvious that those comments were from the Internet Water Army, and he didn't even need to think to know who was slandering him.

He wanted to save this main account for later, and he couldn't be bothered to argue with these people. Moreover, he was a male, and the truth would come out sooner or later. There was no need to hide it, and it would be a waste of time to argue with these people.

Therefore, he threw these things to the back of his mind, and Gu Bai played his alternate account all day long to hold Tang Linyi back.

Because of his strong skills, the two of them cooperated well every time they did a mission. Tang Linyi was unfamiliar with him at the beginning, but as he got more familiar with him, he admired him more and more.

After all, there were very few girls with such good skills. Every time they did a mission, Gu Bai's straightforward style of doing things was also very admirable.

Also, when she spoke, she didn't act like a spoiled girl and ask for protection like other female accounts. Tang Linyi guessed that in real life, this player named 'Bai' should be a very independent and smart girl.

Sometimes, Gu Bai's views on certain things were very mature and unique. Gradually, other than playing games, Tang Linyi and Gu Bai started to talk more when they chatted. Their topics were not only limited to games, but also about life and learning.

Tang Linyi was surprised to find that no matter what topic they talked about, Gu Bai could respond. He was very talented, and even if he wasn't proficient in something, he still knew a thing or two.

Before knowing the other person's true appearance, the impression one had of a person was basically built on the other person's heart. This kind of communication between the two of them would make them feel like they were connected.

In just two to three months, while Tang Linyi treated Gu Bai as a close friend, he also developed a very good impression of him. Moreover, he liked Gu Bai's character of occasionally doing bad things.

This kind of liveliness changed his impression of Gu Bai from a 'cold and talented girl' to a 'lively and smart girl'. He felt that this must be a cute and smart girl.

Tang Linyi had never realized that he had such a relaxed and happy feeling when interacting with others. Thus, he did not use his main account for the time being. Instead, he logged into his side account every day to play with Gu Bai.

Of course, Gu Bai knew about his psychological changes and was very satisfied with this result. He had achieved his goal of preventing Tang Linyi from getting to know Song Xianxun. Now, there was one less suitor for Almighty Tang. It was hard to say if Song Xianxun could still be a goddess in the future.

Gu Bai had long forgotten about the 'extremely arrogant' that he had met that day because he had been focused on Tang Linyi. He did not want to fulfill the promise of killing monsters and leveling up with the other party.

Thus, they agreed to meet on that day.

A certain man happily finished dealing with things in the real world early and entered the game world. He ran to the mission hall and waited for half the night, but he did not see a trace of Pei Qian.

His face darkened as he tried to chat with Pei Qian privately. However, a system notification sounded in his ear:

Sorry, you have been deleted by the other party. Please add me as a friend again!

Immediately, a certain man exited the game, took off the gaming helmet on his head and threw it out. He slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth.

"Pei Moqian, water must have entered your brain to believe him!"
