Volume 1, Chapter 70 – Call Her Bingxue Then
In the end… for some reason Tianyin’s party had an undead loli added to it.
Everyone was happy about it. After all, it was only the first day out and they had “picked up” an undead loli.
The game world’s time is synced with the real world. That idea of three days in-game to one day in real life is, in some sense, hard to pull off, even if you could develop a virtual game to near-perfect realism.
When night fell, because it was night in the real world as well, Xiaomengyao had no choice but to log out. Because there were NPCs around, the in-game body of the logged-out Xiaomengyao naturally fell asleep.
Watching Xiaomengyao who had gone to sleep, though she was logged out, and the undead loli Tianyin had picked up today sitting around the campfire, Tianyin felt a bit sleepy herself.
“Haah… you are not sleeping?”
Letting out a deep yawn, Tianyin looked surprised at the little girl who hugged her knees and stared blankly into the campfire.
At Tianyin’s question, the little girl glanced at her with those azure eyes, then expressionlessly shook her head.
“Wuu… I almost forgot. You were sleeping all day, so you’re not tired now.”
Tianyin remembered disturbing that undead loli earlier in the afternoon.
But still, how normal is it for an undead to be sleeping underground in the middle of the road. Isn’t that weird.
“Wuu… by the way, what’s your name?”
“Suu…”
The little girl shook her head.
“Eh? you don’t even know yourself? Then when did you turn into an undead? Do you remember anything from before you became undead?”
The little girl still shook her head.

“Eh…? you don’t know at all?”
Not getting the answer she had hoped for, Tianyin felt a little disappointed.
“Well… okay… since you don’t have a name, how about I give you one.”
Tianyin, who had been about to sleep, suddenly remembered the girl didn’t seem to have a name.
“Suu…”
The girl expressionlessly nodded.
“Wuu… since that’s the case, I’ll name you then. Your hair and eyes are blue, so how about Xiaolan 1 Little Blue. ?”
“Suu…”
The little girl shook her head.
“Eh, not good? I thought that name was pretty nice.”
Tianyin felt a bit regretful, since she had just racked her brain to come up with it.
After being rejected like that, Tianyin’s mood immediately dropped.
“If Xiaolan doesn’t work, what should I call you? You’re always expressionless, how about Xiaobing 2 Little Ice. ?”
This time the girl didn’t shake her head, but she also didn’t nod.
“Eh, that’s a bit close. How about Lanbing 3 Blue Ice. ? Or Binglan 4 Ice Blue. then?”

Tianyin still hadn’t given up on the name she had thought of earlier.
The girl shook her head again.
“Eh… then, is Bingxue 5 Ice Snow. fine? Okay, Bingxue?”
Tianyin felt a little discouraged, then said Bingxue, since ice and snow go together, and when you think of ice, you naturally think of snow.
In Tianyin’s eyes, when she said Bingxue, the girl’s face unusually and rarely showed a dazzling, warm smile, as if ice and snow were melting and everything was new.
At the same time, the little mouth that had never opened before slowly parted.
“Bing… xue…”
That was the first and the last time Tianyin saw the girl smile.
…
Early the next morning, Tianyin woke up with difficulty under Xiaomengyao’s urging.
“Morning, Xiaomengyao.”
Her brain wasn’t fully awake, but that didn’t stop Tianyin from saying good morning.
“Good morning, Master. The sun is going to shine on your panties!”
“Wuu… Is there such a saying? Isn’t it supposed to be ‘butt’?” 6 The sun is going to shine on your butt. It is a humorous way in Chinese to tell someone to wake up because it’s already late in the morning.
“Well, anyway, Master, wake up quickly! We still have to hurry!”
“Alright, alright, I’m getting up.”

Reluctantly opening her eyes, Tianyin still felt dizzy.
But once her eyes were open, the fog in her head cleared as consciousness returned.
“Good morning, Xiaobing.”
Seeing the undead girl standing quietly to the side, Tianyin greeted her warmly.
“Suu…”
The undead girl nodded, as if saying good morning.
“We’re leaving, Xiaomengyao. We’ll walk on the shaded side of the road from now on, okay?”
“Uu, I understand.”
Although she didn’t know why Tianyin said that, Xiaomengyao obediently nodded.
Well, of course Tianyin was taking the shaded side because Bingxue was undead.
The day passed while the group pressed on along the road, and they ran into a few attacking monsters along the way, but ever since Tianyin learned that strange skill Hug-Your-Head Crouch Defense, she could easily avoid damage at the cost of numb legs.
Time slowly flowed, and in the blink of an eye a week had passed, and during that week the Bingxue who had joined them gradually blended into the small group of Tianyin and Xiaomengyao.
Though she still wore that expressionless look, she could communicate simply with Tianyin and the others by writing on the ground.
On this day, a town reappeared in the distance.
“Master, there’s a town.”

“Yeah, let’s go in first. Those monster materials we picked up along the way should be sold.”
Tianyin decided and led the way toward the town.
But halfway there, Tianyin stopped.
“Master? What’s wrong?”
“I forgot something. Bingxue has to wait outside. She can’t go in now.”
“Suu…”
Bingxue obediently nodded to show she understood.
But Xiaomengyao, who had first proposed bringing Bingxue, didn’t understand.
“Master, why suddenly like this?”
“You still remember I said undead can’t enter human faction territory? Now that we’re going in, we have to leave Bingxue outside and come back for her after we take care of our business.”
“Eh, but Bingxue doesn’t look like an undead?”
“Of course she is undead. That’s a fact. Anyway, let’s go in first, then see if there’s any equipment that can hide identity to buy for Bingxue to wear.”
Tianyin thought of a more conventional plan, but equipment that hides faction or race identity in the whole game world is extremely rare.
If such equipment was common, then wouldn’t spies be everywhere among the factions?
