Li Dong was in between laughter and tears .
He immediately realized that Mu Wanqiu came specially to apologize .
He looked at her face, full of guilt .
Although a little disinclined, Li Dong still smiled and comforted her with a gentle voice . “Everything’s fine now . It’s not your fault, so don’t feel guilty about it .
“Besides, that kind of game is not really friendly for f2p’s like me . It’s really hard to progress in the game without spending any money . Besides, I might also get cucked by the p2w’s in the future… perhaps this is an irresistible arrangement by fate . ”
“C-commander?”
Mu Wanqiu looked up at him . Isn’t this mentality of his a little too good to be true?
It had also seemed that her guild leader had such individuality in game . Firm, patient, with a strong desire of winning, not easily trampled by setbacks, and always able to attain incredible achievements . Even if he were to suffer a huge setback, he would be able to adjust himself quickly . It was also for these reasons that he looked very trustworthy, prompting her willingness to chat with him . To her, he had become her very important… a friend, on the internet .
“A-alright . ”
Mu Wanqiu sighed with relief . “Phew, that’s reassuring . But would you need some compensation? That schoolmate of mine has apologized to me in person . He also said that he is willing to compensate our guild with 500,000 dollars, hoping for our forgiveness . Commander… do you need gold?”
“500,000?”
Li Dong’s lips twitched, and a voice emerged deep in his heart: Damn those rich a*sholes!
“No . If money can solve all problems, our world won’t be needing the cops . Just tell him to do whatever he wants . ”
“That’s what I thought too, Commander . I despise people like him who think that money can fix anything . Hmph! I’m not going to talk to him ever again . ”
“Uhm, let’s put this topic aside . Did you mention before that you wish to meet Qinghai and Yichen? We are comrades in the same guild, after all, so why don’t we use this opportunity for a meet-up?” Li Dong proposed .
“Sure; I’d like to meet them as well . Why don’t I treat all of you to a meal?” Mu Wanqiu smiled as her eyes narrowed .
Li Dong nodded and picked up his phone to make a call .
…
Half an hour later .
Two exclamations of surprise came from a private room in a middle-class restaurant .
“Impossible! Wanqiu is really a girl?
“I always thought that you were a cute straight guy yearning for the sea of stars, who absolutely looooves big cannons like any other guy while having the delicateness and aesthetics of girls . Never did I imagine that you were a true babe!
“Wanqiu, I always considered you a brother, but y-you…” He sighed . “The beautiful world in my imagination has perished,” Cai Qinghai made a painful expression .
“However, it is also our luck to meet a girl like you . The ratio of male to female in our school is 9 to 1 . This game we’re playing is also a boy game . We don’t believe that there are very many women in this world . ”
Liu Yichen on the other hand acted rather normally at first . But then, he closed in on Mu Wanqiu and looked down at her body . With a suspicious look, he said, “Wanqiu, you have been a girl since the day you were born, haven’t you?”
“Ah!”
Mu Wanqiu was dumbfounded and felt like she was going crazy . “How many times do I have to tell you – I am a girl, a real girl! Why won’t you guys believe me?”
“Cut it out, guys, stop fooling around . Quickly, apologize to Wanqiu,” said Li Dong with a stern expression .
“Sorry . ”
“I’m just joking, Wanqiu; I hope you don’t get pissed at that . ”
The two of them lowered their hands and apologized .
“I’m fine, I’m fine . I’m not that petty . Haha, this felt just like our meetings in the game,” Mu Wanqiu said, smiling .
“Hahaha!”
Everyone cracked up, and the ice between them was broken . They talked about the fun times they had in the game, and all those joyful memories continuously filled the private dining room with laughs and giggles .
“It is unfortunate that the game has totally lost balance and is completely unplayable now . ”
Liu Yichen leaned backwards in his chair, lost in deep reverie .
“It’s okay . Being able to befriend all of you is a good reward as well . ” Li Dong was still sticking on his view .
Mu Wanqiu, on the other hand, explained to both Cai Qinghai and Liu Yichen about why the guild was disbanded and how she was pestered by that rich jerk at school . She also apologized . “If it wasn’t for me, that wouldn’t have happened to our guild… it was all my fault . ”
“That had nothing to do with you, Wanqiu . You just happened to bump into a kid that wants to get everything with his cash . ”
“Honestly speaking, with your looks and your curves, you would already be a goddess at our school . I won’t be surprised at all if guys woo you like crazy . But you have to be careful . There are many unsavory characters in this world, even lunatics that will destroy just about anything they can’t get their hands on… you need to protect yourself diligently . ”
Li Dong added, “If you get into trouble again, give us a call . We’ll straighten things up for you . ”
“OK . ” Mu Wanqiu nodded, “Thank you, all of you . ”
…
After the meal .
The time was now 9 o’clock in the evening .
Mu Wanqiu, who had bought the 10 o’clock train ticket, bade farewell, as she had to leave .
“I’ll send you to the station . ”
Li Dong told Cai Qinghai and Liu Yichen to get back to school . Then, he called a cab and sent Mu Wanqiu to the high-speed rail station .
“Today was so fun; I’m really glad to know you all . ”
Mu Wanqiu did not have many male friends, but she thought that these three she knew through the game were nice people .
“So, uhm, keep in contact?” Li Dong asked .
“Sure! We will still be very good friends . ”
“Cool~ I think you should get going . Be careful on your trip . ”
“Bye, commander . ”
Li Dong waved his hands and watched from behind as she walked into the station .
But even with that being said, Li Dong and the gang weren’t as close to Mu Wanqiu as they used to be anymore .
Firstly, Mu Wanqiu was a student in a prestigious Shanghai university . Not only was she pretty and had a gracious temperament, her results were also outstanding . In the eyes of many, she was the perfect goddess . Li Dong and the gang, on the contrary, were students in a vocational school and were deemed as “poor students” in the eyes of many . They and Mu Wanqiu were completely not on the same level .
If it wasn’t for this game called the “Homeland VR”, they would never have come across Mu Wanqiu . Now, with that link gone, aside from reminiscing about the past, they wouldn’t have much to talk about .
“Why don’t we find a new game and start afresh in a new world? There are a few massive RPGs coming out, if I remember correctly . Should we ask Wanqiu to come along with us into the new game?” Liu Yichen suggested .
“Yes, reality is too boring . The world of games is much more exciting . Let us continue to adventure in the world of games . ”
Li Dong shook his head . “You of all people should know what’s happening in VR online games now . We might be able to catch up to those p2w’s just by effort . But facing those rich a*ses… The only toy with us poor f*cks . Us, mounting a comeback? Impossible . ”
He’d hit the nail on the head . Cai Qinghai and Liu Yichen lowered their heads at the same time .
They sighed . what a forlorn world .
“Eh? Look at this piece of news . Xing Hai Technologies Announces Mature Virtual Helmet Technology, Plans to Develop a VR game, Revolving Intergalactic Warfare… The Era of Virtual Games is Coming,” roommate Xukai who was at that time browsing the news said out of the blue .
“Oh!”
Three of them were instantly intrigued .
