Chapter 81 – Extra 5: Game (3/3)





Mama Qiao, of course, had no idea that Qiao Yichen’s mind was in turmoil at the moment . All that she knew was that Qiao Yichen once again failed to pass his math exam .

“Today, your brother just came back from school . I’ll have him tutor you . ” Mama Qiao crossed her arms, condescendingly glaring down at Qiao Yichen . “If I catch you playing games again, I’ll confiscate your computer! Don’t think that locking your door will prevent me from doing so!”

Qiao Yichen: “……”

When Mama Qiao left, Qiao Yixing entered the room with a set of test papers in hand . He gave a cold look towards Qiao Yichen, then pulled over a chair next to him and sat down: “You can’t even pass a single test? Rarely do I ever come back home for a visit, and now I have to waste my time tutoring you . ”

Qiao Yichen curled his lips: “Can’t you just stay at the school? What’s up with you running back here to leech off some food and water? Now I have to waste my time to be tutored by you . ”

Qiao Yixing let out a laugh, smacking down the entire set of test papers onto the table: “Comprehensive examination, finish in two hours . ”

Qiao Yichen: “……”

There’s no need to be so serious right?

Qiao Yichen looked at the various math-related symbols written on the test papers; he felt his head aching a bit . After dilly-dallying a sluggish 10 minutes, Qiao Yichen bit onto the shaft of his pen and looked at Qiao Yixing: “Bro, log onto my character and play for me . I was still in the middle of grinding monsters with someone, she probably already got slain by a monster . ”

Qiao Yixing was in the middle of reading a book . He didn’t even cast a glance as he responded: “Since she got killed, what’s the point of me logging on?”

Qiao Yichen explained: “I at least need to explain to her my circumstances!”

Qiao Yixing closed the books in his hand and looked at Yichen: “It’s not good to fall in love when you are still so young . Having an online relationship is even worse . ”

Qiao Yichen: “……”

“Who has an online relationship! As a responsible man, I can’t just disappear without a word!” Qiao Yichen snarled at Qiao Yixing with a red face .

Qiao Yixing pondered for a bit, then pointed towards the wardrobe: “You sit over there to finish the test, your back faced towards the computer screen . ”

Qiao Yichen: “……”

Qiao Yichen moved the table over to the side of the wardrobe . When Qiao Yixing saw that he had sat down as he instructed, he booted up the computer and wore the headphones .

Qiao Yichen’s login name and password were saved on the game client so Qiao Yixing was able to easily log back onto 《The Jianghu is Indomitable》 .

Once he logged in, friend message notifications immediately exploded on the screen .

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero, where have you gone? %>_<%

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero! You can’t leave me alone! I can’t beat this snake!

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero, the snake is sweeping his tail at me! Where should I hide!

Inconspicuous Person 233: No point in hiding anymore, I’ve died…… 

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hey hey hey hey hey hey![2]

Inconspicuous Person 233: If you don’t show up then I won’t accompany you to Gu Zibi’s! Don’t blame me!

Qiao Yixing felt that he was able to clearly picture the other’s anxious expressions .

Hand-picked Stars: I’m here .

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero! You’ve finally arrived! T^T

Inconspicuous Person 233: I’ve died a tragic death /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~


Hand-picked Stars: Where did you die?





Inconspicuous Person 233: Tianchi .

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero, did you lose your memory (⊙0⊙)?

Hand-picked Stars: My little brother was playing earlier . He was caught by my mom and is now working on test papers . Allow me to help you in his stead .

Inconspicuous Person 233: ……

Inconspicuous Person 233: One shouldn’t play games when one has yet to finish their homework .

Hand-picked Stars: His homework has never been finished .

Inconspicuous Person 233: ……

Brother, is it fine to expose your little bro like this?

However, Qiao Yixing was still not finished talking smack: “He failed this time’s math test, again . It’s as if he’s inviting his parents to punish him . ”

Inconspicuous Person 233: ……

Inconspicuous Person 233: Now that you talk about it, my tablemate in junior high would always fail to pass the math tests…… Ah, right! His name also had a Chen![3]

Qiao Yixing’s eyebrows moved, his fingertips flickering across the keyboard: “Was your junior high school in A City, 7th School?”

Inconspicuous Person 233: (⊙o⊙)! How did you know?

Qiao Yixing remained silent . The names who did not pass 7th School’s math tests who also had the word Chen in their names… It was probably only Qiao Yichen .

But since when did Ding Meng begin playing games?

Qiao Yixing pondered for a bit, then began inputting words into the chat-box: “Go to Tian Mountain . ”

Inconspicuous Person 233: \(^o^)/~ Okay!

Qiao Yichen, hearing the sounds of the keyboard typing away from behind, could not help but look back .

“Finish your test . ” Qiao Yixing’s voice overbearingly resounded into his ears .

Qiao Yichen: “……”

After two hours, Qiao Yichen turned in his test paper . Qiao Yixing glanced over the answers, then looked up towards him: “When you are able to score 90 percent, I’ll tell you a secret . ”

Qiao Yichen responded with a snort: “I don’t care . ”

Qiao Yixing laughed as he took out a red pen and began drawing crosses on the test paper: “All right then, you said it yourself . ”

Later, before graduating from high school, Qiao Yichen was finally able to pass the math test with a 90 percent . But at that time, he had already long forgotten this matter .

For the next two days, Qiao Yichen’s mother has been watching him very strictly . It was only until the last day of the game’s task was Qiao Yichen able to find time to get online .

Inconspicuous Person 233’s portrait was lit up . Qiao Yichen opened up the dialog box with the intentions of looking over the contents of what Qiao Yixing chatted about with her . However, all the messages have been deleted .

Qiao Yichen pouted his lips, then sent a message to Inconspicuous Person 233: “Where are you? The timer for the task is able to end, don’t run about . ”

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero? Or is it still Hero’s brother?

Hand-picked Stars: …… The former .

Inconspicuous Person 233: Hero, you’ve finally come back! Have you finished your math tests?

Hand-picked Stars: ……





Why does this person’s manner of speech seem so much like Ding Meng!

Hand-picked Stars: Where are you? I’ll go find you .

Inconspicuous Person 233: I’m at Jade Lake admiring the scenery .    Today there are a lot of seagulls . \(^o^)/~

Hand-picked Stars: ……

Qiao Yichen rode his big bird, quickly arriving at the edge of Jade Lake . There were not many people here, and there were, in fact, an awful lot of seagulls on the lake .

Hand-picked Stars: There are only ten minutes left until the task ends . First follow me to a place near Gu Prefecture . [5]

Inconspicuous Person 233: Ok .

Right when Ding Meng wanted to jump onto the big bird, a lolita from across the other side burst in . The horse she rode created gusts of wind with its hooves .

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: I’ve caught you, I Want To Grow Fat!

Ding Meng: “……”

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: (⊙v⊙)? What did you say?

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: You can stop with your act, I ate the Snow Melting Pellet!

Ding Meng: “……”


Hand-picked Stars silently stood in front of Inconspicuous Person 233, guarding her .

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: Dark Spirit Arts user huh . This is none of your business, go away .

【Nearby】Hand-picked Stars: You’re from Peach Blossom Fortress, why are you here?

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: I simply just want to kill her .

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: …… I’ve never offended you, heroine .

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: I can’t stand how you are showing off to the world how healthy your body is .

Ding Meng: “……”

Ding Meng pondered for a bit, then finally understood her words .

She was probably referring to Ding Meng’s ID; “I Want To Grow Fat” .

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: Heroine, you’ve misunderstood . In fact, in the beginning, I had wanted to make my name “I Want To Eat Fat”[6] . But this ID was taken, so I resorted to using the name “I Want To Grow Fat” .

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: ……

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: In reality, I’m really fat .

【Nearby】Pomelo Meow Meow: Anyways, I don’t care . Come here and let me kill you . Otherwise, I’ll go on the World Channel and expose your identity .

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: ……

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: Come at me .

And then like that, Ding Meng witnessed her little cute girl in her pink dress collapsing onto the ground under the opponent’s brilliant skills .

After Pomelo Meow Meow killed her, she then rode her horse away . When Inconspicuous Person 233 revived, she turned around to Hand-picked Stars and spoke: “After dying once, I feel rather comfortable . ”





Hand-picked Stars: ……

Hand-picked Stars: Come here, I’ll help you feel even more comfortable .

Inconspicuous Person 233: …… I’m a pure maiden, I won’t mess with men .

Hand-picked Stars: ……

Hand-picked Stars: Let us go to Gu Prefecture .

Qiao Yichen calculated the time very well . When he put on his Dark Spirit Arts outfit and brought Ding Meng to go to Gu Zibi…… they’ve encountered another Dark Spirit Arts user .

【Nearby】Dark Spirit Arts 111: Hahahaha, I knew it was wise to stay here .

【Nearby】Dark Spirit Arts 007: Mankind must be virtuous, do not take other’s hard earned efforts . [7]

【Nearby】Dark Spirit Arts 111: How did you know I enjoy doing immoral things?

【Nearby】Dark Spirit Arts 007: ……

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: 111, I won’t be following you to meet Gu Zibi .

【Nearby】Dark Spirit Arts 111: Whoa, looks like during these past few days you guys developed some feelings for one another .

【Nearby】Inconspicuous Person 233: If you use force, I will kill myself .

【Nearby】Dark Spirit Arts 111: ……

What a strong woman .

At the same time, Qiao Yichen received the following friend message .

Inconspicuous Person 233: How about it hero? I’m performing quite well, aren’t I?

Inconspicuous Person 233: Is this enough to completely repay your kindness? To be honest, I would like to be a human in my next life .

Hand-picked Stars: ……

All in all, the members of the Dark Sect have no methods of making Ding Meng meet Gu Zibi unless she operates her character to do so herself . 111 grumbled a bit before riding his horse off into the distance .

Then, the effects of the Face Change Pellet on Inconspicuous Person 233 wore off, reverting her ID back to “I Want To Grow Fat” .

Ding Meng followed Dark Spirit Arts 007 to Gu ZIbi, who let out a chuckle upon the sight of them . Gu Zibi opened his mouth to speak: “Congratulations to the both of you for completing the task, you both shall be rewarded couple set outfits . ”

When he finished speaking, a golden light flashed and two sets of clothes appeared . A dragon and phoenix pattern, designed especially beautiful and of the highest quality . Furthermore, it was actually god-level equipment!

A pair wearing these outfits can blind everyone within the vicinity!

Qiao Yichen also found the various attributes the outfit provided to be great, just that there was one problem upon receiving the reward .

System Prompt: Dear players, you are not married and cannot receive the couple set outfits .

Qiao Yichen: “……”

He felt that the game ought to be renamed to 《The Players Are Getting Scammed》!

Hand-picked Stars: Let’s head to Moon Temple, to marry .

I Want To Grow Fat: (⊙v⊙)!

I Want To Grow Fat: I don’t want an online relationship .

Hand-picked Stars: Online relationship my butt! If we’re not married we can’t wear these outfits! You ate my Face Change Pellet, at least allow me to profit out of all this!

I Want To Grow Fat: ……

I Want To Grow Fat: I should’ve known that after the damsel is rescued, their body is the compensation /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Hand-picked Stars: ……

He didn’t want to retort any further, simply quickly sending Ding Meng a party request for her to accept: “You better follow me!”

I Want To Grow Fat: ……

Well, after all, when receiving kindness from others, it is best to pay it back . Ding Meng clicked to join the party as if her life depended on it and scurried behind Qiao Yichen to Moon Temple for the marriage .

After the marriage formalities have been completed, the two rushed back to pick up the couple set outfits . They then wore the outfits and swaggered on the city streets .

Hand-picked Stars, this husband, was very faithful . Whenever he wanted to go grind monsters, he would invite her, allowing her to leech off some exp . He also never socialized with other female players . Furthermore, he would send her some equipment from time to time .

Ding Meng followed Hand-picked Stars for a year in the game . And one day, he suddenly sent a certain message to her: “I will be a senior next school term, I won’t be playing games any longer . ”

Ding Meng was stunned for a bit, then eventually replied: “Oh oh, senior year is intense, work hard (^ω^) . ”

Hand-picked Stars: I want to apply to a music university abroad . The requirements include taking cultural classes . Once I successfully test into the school I’ll be really busy .

I Want To Grow Fat: Then you won’t be playing games ever again?

Hand-picked Stars: I might get on every once in a while .

I Want To Grow Fat: Oh……

Every day, there would always be veteran players returning and new players registering . This shouldn’t be a serious deal to her .

Moreover, she will have to return to school next semester .

I Want To Grow Fat:   I’ll also be busy next school term and probably won’t be able to get on as much anymore .

Hand-picked Stars didn’t respond and silence befell on the two for a bit . Ding Meng then raised a question: “You said you wanted to apply to a music university? Do you plan on becoming a singer in the future?”

Hand-picked Stars: I want to be a music producer .

I Want To Grow Fat: (⊙o⊙) Sounds ambitious .

Hand-picked Stars: It’s all right……

I Want To Grow Fat: Then in the future, I’ll be a singer, and maybe we will end up encountering one another in real life hahaha .

Hand-picked Stars: You think you can be a singer?

I Want To Grow Fat: Of course I can be a singer! I was in my school choir before!

Hand-picked Stars: All right, then I’ll await for your debut .

1: 她现在估计已经被怪秒了。(confused with the second half of the sentence, but I’m guessing it means that Qiao Yichen is saying that Ding Meng probably already got killed by the snake…?)
2: 人呢人呢人呢人呢人呢人呢!
3: The word “stars” in the name “Hand-picked Stars” is Xing Chen in Chinese . It’s also the same “Chen” for Qiao Yi”chen” . Sorry for not mentioning previously (I never noticed it was a pun!) .
4: A市七中读的吗? (I assume he’s saying “7th School” as the name of the school, but it might mean 7th grade too? Not sure . )
5: 先跟我去顾府附近吧。
6: This is a bit awkward, uhhhh… the Chinese character for meat can also mean fat, so in a sense, Ding Meng’s character name can be interpreted as either “I Want To Grow Meat” or “I Want To Grow Fat” . I chose the latter because it made more sense . So when Ding Meng says that she had wanted the username “I Want To Eat Fat”, it also means “I Want To Eat Meat” .
7: 做人要厚道,强占别人的革命果实不好。(Totally guessed qwq)
