Chapter 10



Soon after, in order to bring in more revenue, the company developed a classic turn-based mobile game that became popular. Many popular streamers all gave it a go. The discussion threads grew larger and larger. From that point on, the fame of Jiacheng Corporation’s name exploded and everyone had high hopes for the future of the company.

In a few short years, the company published different types of games of a variety of sizes. Many of those games had high ratings, and even now, they still had decent followings.

There were some rumors that Tu Nan wasn’t the actual head of the company, and that there was another person behind him.

As to who it might be, no one had a clue. People didn’t have much interest in the boss’s newfound fortune. Plus, Tu Nan had a spirited personality. He’d make frequent appearances at different kinds of social events and charm everyone he met. News about him would often trend online.

Over time, people started to care less and less about the true identity of this legendary hidden boss.

……

When Ruan Jiu Jiu was downloading the game, she happened to see this piece of gossip.

Disinterested, she closed the webpage and calmly waited for the game to finish installing.

She didn’t know exactly what that guy Cheng Jun did all day. He’d often hide in his room and stay up late through the night. Sometimes, she was able to hear the clacking of his keyboard. However, more often there was just silence. Many times, Ruan Jiu Jiu thought he wasn’t home. But when she went to eat, a certain person’s figure would slowly emerge.

Later, Ruan Jiu Jiu gained a better understanding of him.

As long as she wanted to check whether Cheng Jun was in his room or not, she’d just cook some food. Then, he’d act like a cat who just caught a whiff of tuna and tail her, waiting to be fed.

By now, Ruan Jiu Jiu wasn’t sure whether she was rooming with a human or with a cat that pilfered food.

Just as she was caught up in her thoughts, the game’s music sounded. A ringing noise like striking a jade bell, and then a burst of notes from a guzheng. The beautiful, resounding notes were soul-stirring. A bamboo flute gracefully joined in the harmony, starting from a high note and slowly cascading its way down.

A jianghu scene slowly unfurled.

The song is like that of a dream, and like a dream itself.

Enter the dream.

Ruan Jiu Jiu wanted to praise whoever chose the music.

On the character creation screen, the player could pick the class, the difficulty, and other aspects. Ruan Jiu Jiu thought for a while. She decided to play a class with the easiest mechanics. Her skills weren’t that good. She decided to play the healer support class. In any case, she could just drop some money on this game if necessary.

This was the advantage of being a P2W player.

Her character wore a light blue outfit, her black hair pinned up and held in place with a white jade hairpin. Her sleeves billowing in the wind, the beautiful fairy immortal held up a jade flute. Above her head were three characters.

Jiu Jiu Jiu.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was too lazy to think of another name. When it came to gaming, it was the experience that mattered. The name was secondary. She excitedly went over to the beginner village and started doing quests. At the start, there were a bit more story quests, but every one of those had an interesting story. Ruan Jiu Jiu was drawn into the game. Before she knew it, the sun had set.

She kept going until she got stuck on a quest to hunt down bandits. Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t clear it even after a few attempts. This quest involved two opposing sides. One side had to chase the bandits down while the other player had to help the bandit escape. Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t deal much damage and didn’t have a party. She was easily killed amid the ruckus of battle.

Unfortunately, there was a shameless player. Apparently because he was bored and didn’t have anything better to do, he would camp at the horse stables. Every time Ruan Jiu Jiu rode past on her horse, he would trip it. She would inevitably tumble off into the dirt, and be killed in the confusion.

Ruan Jiu Jiu got irritated.

This bully!

She immediately went and bought a premium package, equipping the best gear to go oppress them. As expected, that scumbag warrior was still camping the same spot, apparently lying in wait for Ruan Jiu Jiu. She lightly hopped off her horse, wearing a black robe embroidered with golden thread on the hems, fuming with anger. One thing Ruan Jiu Jiu appreciated about this game was that female outfits weren’t designed for sex appeal in order to attract more players. There were some revealing outfits, but there weren’t that many. Moreover, the ass and titties weren’t intentionally exaggerated.

Without saying a single word, the fairy immortal named Jiu Jiu Jiu used her ult.

Then, she took a hit that wiped out half of her HP bar.

Ruan Jiu Jiu Jiu: “…”

Anyone who underestimated Ruan Jiu Jiu’s tenacity was in for a surprise. As she would say, the one thing she didn’t lack was patience. Though the other’s skills were pretty good, his gear was way worse than hers. Moreover, her class had high HP and she quickly recovered her health. Again and again, relentlessly, like a dull knife hacking through meat, like Sisyphus rolling his stone up the mountain, like an old man moving a mountain pebble by pebble… What the hell was this.

This was a drawn out war of attrition.

The two exchanged blows for over ten minutes but no clear victor emerged. Ruan Jiu Jiu was determined to fight with him to the death. She was like a tortoise that had its mouth clamped tight on the opponent, and wouldn’t budge an inch.

Their fight drew the attention of other players.

The words “Eight Thousand Clouds and a Moon” hung over each of their heads. Originally they were just passing by, but someone called out and they all stopped in their tracks. Their interest piqued, they were drawn to the fight between the two players and for the time being, spectated with great interest.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was in the trenches and didn’t notice the group of onlookers that had amassed.

White Dragon Horse: … the healer is really desperate to survive

Hoofs to the West: she’s cracked

I’m Ye Liang Chen: lololol LMFAO

What’s Gone Can Never Come Back: wanna guess if the healer will win?

White Dragon Horse: bet

Hoofs to the West: whatever my wifey says goes

I’m Ye Liang Chen: normies explode!

Reminiscence of the Past: heh

White Dragon Horse: omgg remmm

Hoofs to the West: AHHHH REM SENPAI

I’m Ye Liang Chen: REMPAI

What’s Gone Can Never Come Back

: senpai lemme suck ur dick!!

Everyone else: … can you have some dignity you weeb?

White Dragon Horse: Master Rem, since when did you come?

Reminiscence of the Past: I’ve been here a while.

He’d probably never seen a whale in such dire straits so he was also drawn in to spectating this scene. After seeing “Jiu Jiu Jiu” atop the fairy immortal’s head, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He suddenly had this mental image of a baby chick relentlessly pecking at someone. Why was it so cute?

The warrior called I’m the Second Master stopped.

I’m the Second Master: Girl, let’s stop fighting, my hands are cramping

Jiu Jiu Jiu: Damn right! Why tf were you always targeting me?

I’m the Second Master: actually… I just wanted to stop you to spam you with an ad…

Jiu Jiu Jiu: ?

I’m the Second Master: add me on WeChat at 7927332 for boosting services

Jiu Jiu Jiu: ????

I’d be stupid to believe you!

Ruan Jiu Jiu inwardly facepalmed as she shanked him one last time. The warrior died unceremoniously.

When she came to her senses, she noticed the chat box was full of laughter. Ruan Jiu Jiu was a bit dumbstruck. What were they laughing at?

Just when she was a bit lost and planned to find a random to party with to continue questing, someone sent a friend request.

White Dragon Horse: hey girl wanna be friends

Jiu Jiu Jiu: nty I don’t add boosters

Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t know that the girl named White Dragon Horse immediately screenshotted their conversation and sent it to the guild chat, causing the group of people to roll around in laughter again.

Just when Ruan Jiu Jiu felt a bit depressed, she discovered that there were a group of people standing behind her. They were all motionless, like they were standing there munching on popcorn. Her eyelid twitched. Thinking back, it seemed that when she was battling that booster warrior, those people had already formed a crowd behind her.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: ……

She seemed to understand why people were laughing.

[White Dragon Horse has sent you a guild invite. Would you like to join Dance of Many Moons?]

Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t know that Dance of Many Moons was one of the top guilds in Dreamy Chant. She only wanted to find people to play the game with, so she happily accepted the invite. After joining the guild, many people happily called her name. It was like she entered some bird nest with people chirping “Jiu Jiu Jiu.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

Jiu Jiu Jiu: uh, is anyone doing the bandit quest? Let’s party!

A few people immediately replied and said: I’ll carry you

Ruan Jiu Jiu thought that this guild was pretty lively and that the members were pretty good. Before she could even respond, someone named Reminiscence of the Past quickly cut in and said, “I’ll go with you. I just so happen to be free today.”

White Dragon Horse: whaaa Master Rem you’re going to take her yourself!!

Hoofs to the West: careful Miss Bi Ying doesn’t get jealous~~

Seeing that familiar name “Bi Ying”, Ruan Jiu Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly tensed, feeling a shiver go up her spine. Subconsciously, she pushed the keyboard away.

Wait…

Bi Ying… that the Bi Ying she was thinking of? The main character of the original novel Xu Bi Ying?! Were there such coincidences???

She suddenly remembered some details from the book.

After being reborn, the main character Xu Bi Ying wanted to properly foster her relationship with Gu You, her childhood friend. After discovering the appearance of a female love rival, Xu Bi Ying, in order to safeguard her position as the fiancee, joined the game. After personally entering the ring to stake her claim, the love rival resentfully retreated.

At that time, Ruan Jiu Jiu had actually spent money to buy the whole book. Immersed in her ridicule she binged it, roasting it all the while so she only skimmed it. From beginning to end she hadn’t bothered to pay much attention to the details and didn’t remember the game’s name nor their IGNs.

But now, after matching things up, Reminiscence of the Past was the book’s male lead!

Everyone was still wrapped in their envy at Reminiscence unexpectedly being willing to carry Ruan Jiu Jiu.

But who knew that she would turn him down so quickly.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: sorry, I don’t have time rn. Maybe next time

At that, she logged off, leaving them dumbstruck.

They all spammed the chat with question marks. Even Reminiscence of the Past was a bit stunned. Typically, it was other people begging him for a carry, even offering to pay him a lot of money, but he could never even be bothered to respond. But now, he was flatly rejected.

White Dragon Horse relished in his misfortune: nice, now Miss Bi Ying won’t have anything to worry about

Normally, Bi Ying watched over Reminiscence like she was guarding against thieves. She didn’t show mercy to a single girl in the guild. White Dragon Horse was already sick of it. But now, this new guildie didn’t even care for Rem’s status. She really wanted to bully that Xu Bing Yi a little with the chat log.

On the other side of the screen, Gu You stared at the name Jiu Jiu Jiu and smiled.

Only

……

From the start, Ruan Jiu Jiu had no fear of the original female lead, and she hadn’t even been able to find anything to like about her personality. She just didn’t want to get entangled with Gu You and get herself in any troublesome situation. That high and mighty Rem was always concerned with his face and would definitely not bother with her in the future.

She opened the door and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. In the pitch black gloom of the kitchen, a shadow of a figure stood motionlessly. Ruan Jiu Jiu was so scared she stumbled back a few steps.

“Y-y-you Why didn’t you open the lights if you were in the kitchen?!”

Cheng Jun’s reply was languid to the point that it was maddening. “I…I…I…was just going to.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

She decided that dinner tonight would be noodles with two poached eggs for herself. Cheng Jun could eat the bowl.

Author’s Note: There’s not a lot of gaming content. The novel will mostly focus on reality. Don’t worry~
