Bai Lixin blushed, and his trembling pupils flashed through the various titles.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a post titled “My Name is Bai Lixin.”
This post seemed quite normal. Was it narrating a story in his own tone?
Bai Lixin clicked, and was nearly blinded by the first sentence.
——“Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Lixin. The “Bai Li” of “100 miles, and “Xin” of “diligence”.
——“I have an old gong, but this old gong of mine has given me all kinds of happiness.”
——“For example, my Water Body old gong can clean me thoroughly from inside out, leaving no corner untouched.”
——“Then there’s my Vine old gong, he’s very romantic, he can package me like a gift and slowly unwrap it.”
——“Not to mention my Ice Block old gong. He’s very considerate, he cools me from the inside out when I’m in high temperature.”
——“Oh, by the way, I can’t help mentioning my Giant Dragon old gong. As the name suggests, he’s a giant dragon, but with two heads.”
Bai Lixin stared at “two heads,” and some memories rushed in his mind uncontrollably. He stopped reading, quickly closed the forum and the computer, and went straight to his bedroom.
‘Just wait! I’ll make you all forget, completely forget!’
Feeling agitated, Bai Lixin lay on the bed for two seconds, then silently pulled out a fan-made comic from his backpack.
It was something he confiscated from Xia Chi a long time ago. It was full of fan art featuring him and Dijia.
Although it was a bit outrageous….he had to admit it was quite good.
Well, it was actually not that outrageous, if he had to do these peculiar actions, they were something he could handle.
Alone in the room, Bai Lixin turned off all the lights, leaving only a small orange bedside lamp.
While blushing, our great Lord God secretly opened the sinful comic.
Wow, human imagination is so rich.
Can it really be like this?
Can you do that?
Are you sure your waist won’t get broken in this posture?
Playing this crazy?
Bai Lixin looked at the source of sin with a red face, silently reflecting.
During the thirty thousand years with Dijia, why did it seem like they hadn’t tried many moves?
Are they really getting old? Or are they falling behind the trends?
He wanted to try but didn’t dare, mainly because he was afraid of death.
In the quiet bedroom, the dim yellow lamp blinked twice, then it suddenly went out.
Bai Lixin, who was engrossed, casually complained, “Counterfeit and shoddy products,” and reached for the lamp.
The moment his hand reached out, instead of the imagined cold and hard touch, he touched something cold but soft.
That thing moved, and the moment Bai Lixin’s hand touched it, it grabbed his hand.
Bai Lixin’s heart trembled, and the next moment, a very imposing figure pressed onto him through the blanket.
The firm body tightly pressed against him, and a husky voice came to his ears, “I can feel it even through the blanket, are you so uncomfortable? Can reading comics satisfy you?”
Bai Lixin turned around and wrapped the un-held hand around the man’s neck, “I’ve been waiting for you!”
‘I can’t resist it anymore, okay?
To hell with being reserved.’
The man held Bai Lixin’s arm, and said in a seductive voice, “Come to the cinema, same place, I’ll be waiting for you.”
The light lit up again, and there was no one else in the room besides Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin instantly jumped up from the bed.
‘This annoying little vixen!’
———————————
The next day, Xia Chi looked at Zhou Guang in confusion, “Zhou Guang, did Brother contact you?”
Zhou Guang, “No, did he not contact you either?”
Xia Chi, “No, didn’t Brother say he was going to start looking for tokens? Could he have gone alone?”
Zhou Guang, “Probably not, God Xin usually doesn’t act alone without telling us. There might be other things on his plate.”
Xia Chi was somewhat disappointed, “Well, let’s wait a bit longer then.”
On the third day, Xia Chi asked Zhou Guang again, “Zhou Guang, did Brother contact you today?”
Zhou Guang, “Um, no.”
Xia Chi, “Have the tokens been found?”
Zhou Guang, “Um, no.”
Xia Chi, “QvQ, what do we do? Did Brother disappear? Or does Brother not want me anymore? Could he be in another copy again?”
Zhou Guang, “Calm down. God Xin’s name is white, so he isn’t in a copy. He might have gotten tired from the previous copy, God Xin is human and needs rest too.”
“He’s not a human,” Xia Chi retorted, “He’s a god!”
Zhou Guang: “…Oh.”
On the fourth day, around noon, Xia Chi and Zhou Guang finally received a message from Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin only sent them one sentence: [Let’s go harvest the tokens, meet at the entrance of the 400th floor cinema.]
A few minutes later, Xia Chi and others arrived at the entrance of the 400th floor cinema and saw Bai Lixin standing there.
Liang Xi glanced at Bai Lixin, blushed and turned away.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but God Xin leaning against the wall exuded a subtle charm, and every move seemed full of seduction.
So charming.
Xia Chi was about to cry in excitement, “Brother, where were you these past two days? I couldn’t find you!”
Zhou Guang, “Um, I can testify, this child was about to go crazy looking for you.”
Bai Lixin, “Uh, I didn’t go anywhere. I was looking for clues on the 400th floor.”
Xia Chi, “You looked for two whole days?”
Bai Lixin replied without even blushing, “I also watched a movie to relax a bit.”
Xia Chi, “Are you relaxed now, Brother?”
Bai Lixin, “Yes, completely relaxed.”
Xia Chi got interested, “Can I ask what movie it was? I’ll go watch it next time.”
Bai Lixin hesitated for several seconds before responding, “The Origin of Life.”
Xia Chi, “Sounds like a documentary?”
Bai Lixin, “Yes, I like watching documentaries. They let me feel the weight and rhythm of life, making me respect life.”
Xia Chi: “Wow, Brother, you’re amazing. Even the movies you use to relax are so unique.”
While chatting, a masked NPC passed by, “Mr. Bai Lixin.”
Bai Lixin looked over in confusion and the masked NPC slowly spoke, “It’s like this. We just received a complaint, saying that the sound in the screening room was a bit loud these past two days. Remember to keep it down next time.”
Bai Lixin’s face turned red, “Isn’t this place supposed to have good soundproofing?”
The NPC answered seriously, “The soundproofing here is fine, but if the volume is too loud, it can still have an impact.”
Xia Chi waved dismissively, “Alright, we know. Isn’t it just that the sound was amplified when watching a movie? What can you watch when there is no sound in the movie? Go away, you’re making trouble for no reason.”
The NPC’s animal-mask turned to Xia Chi, then to Bai Lixin, and finally, with a respectful bow to Bai Lixin, said, “I’ve conveyed the message. I’ll leave now. I hope you remain in a good mood, esteemed guest.”
Bai Lixin blushed, “Yeah.”
Once the NPC was far away, Xia Chi continued, “Brother, you said you found a clue. Where?”
“Bai Lixin, you called us?” At this moment, a voice came from not far away.
The group turned and saw Song Yuantian, Hong Yue, and Lin Jue walking toward them.
Xia Chi: “Did you also call them?”
Bai Lixin nodded, “Yes, because there are floors I can’t reach.”
“I gathered you today to ask for help in finding tokens. Who among you can go to the 600th floor?”
Everyone looked at each other for a moment. Lin Jue, Song Yuantian, Xia Chi, and Li Cancan raised their hands.
Bai Lixin took out a piece of paper from his backpack, then divided it into four. “There are nine tokens left. Memorize the coordinates and we’ll split up. Two people per group, each group will look for two, my group will look for three.”
“There are still two on the 600th floor. Which four of you will go?”
The ones who raised their hands for the 600th floor exchanged glances. Xia Chi said, “Brother, I’ll go with you.”
Song Yuantian: “I want to go with Hongyue.”
Li Cancan and Lin Jue exchanged a glance, “Then the two of us will go together”
Bai Lixin handed them a note, and Li Cancan, after glancing at the coordinates, asked, “God Xin, where did you get these coordinates?”
The place where they were standing was just in the blind spot of the camera. Dijia had told him this before leaving.
Originally, he planned to find all the tokens himself, but Dijia warned him that doing so might attract the system’s attention. Therefore, he had to bring others to distract the system.
After a brief pause, Bai Lixin answered, “I completed a hidden task, and an NPC gave them to me.”
‘I exchanged them with my body. It’s a bit shameful, so I won’t go into details.’
“Memorize them first, then give me the note. When searching, use smoke bombs before looking.”
The group looked surprised, but since they were outside, they didn’t ask many questions. They quickly took their respective tokens, memorized the coordinates, and handed the note back to Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin tucked the note into his backpack. “Have you memorized everything?”
Seeing everyone nod, Bai Lixin continued, “Alright, let’s gather at the Core Fire Guild after.”
The eight scattered, heading to different floors.
With seven days left until the end of the Nationwide Battle Event, obtaining tokens seemed to have hit a pause button.
Only nine tokens remained to be found, but everyone couldn’t find them.
Just as people began suspecting that the last nine tokens hadn’t been released yet, a system voice echoed in the minds of all players in the game lobby.
[Dear players, there are only seven days left until the end of the ‘Nationwide Battle’ event. The tokens released earlier have all been found. Now, the system will start the final round of token release.”
[Tokens will randomly appear on floors that have not been saturated with tokens. Players can wait in advance and try to obtain tokens.]
[There are ten minutes until token release. After ten minutes, the final tokens will be fully deployed.]
[Five days before the end of the event, regardless of whether the tokens are found, the event will enter the next phase: the exchange phase.]
[Countdown starts now!]
A red countdown pointer appeared before players’ eyes.
All players rushed forward , heading towards the nearest floors.
Under the cover of the chaotic crowd, eight inconspicuous figures also slipped into the floors.
When the countdown reached 00:00:00, players started searching for tokens crazily.
While Bai Lixin was searching, he noticed players whose aura was distinctly different from others.
They wore matching uniforms, grouped in twos or threes, carrying an air of arrogance and indifference.
Unlike other players who blindly searched, they didn’t approach areas already checked. Instead, they focused on corners others hadn’t touched.
When he noticed them, they also noticed him.
One of the girls’ eyes changed when she saw Bai Lixin and she immediately abandoned her teammates and walked towards Bai Lixin.
Her eyes carried hatred, and her facial muscles were contorted with anger.
As soon as she reached Bai Lixin, she raised her hand without a word.
Seeing the imminent slap, Bai Lixin raised his hand to block, preventing the girl’s hand from getting closer.
Bai Lixin scrutinized the girl. She had pink shoulder-length hair and Western facial features. Despite looking attractive, anger distorted her features.
“Hey, what are you doing?!” Xia Chi widened his eyes. “Why are you hitting people randomly? Are you crazy?”
If this were before, the commotion would have attracted onlookers, but now, in the critical time of finding tokens, people around had no interest in gossip.
Amidst the noisy crowd, only the few of them confronted each other.
The girl struggled for awhile before managing to withdraw her hand, “Hit people? I’m here to kill! What’s hitting compared to that?”
Xia Chi: “Are you crazy? We don’t even know you!”
Girl: “You killed Carl. I’m here to avenge him!”
The girl’s teammate, a man with a Western face, approached. He didn’t intervene but stood coldly in the background, silently observing.
Xia Chi was puzzled, “Who is Carl?”
After glancing at the people in matching uniforms, Bai Lixin, after a two-second silence, spoke, “Is Carl Elder Qingcheng?”
Xia Chi was slightly surprised.
Girl: “He’s not called Elder Qingcheng; he’s Carl. Remember that!”
Bai Lixin: “So what if I remember it now? The memories of dead players will gradually fade. Soon, not only me but even you will forget this name.”
“You must be from the Shentian Guild,” Bai Lixin continued, “What’s your relationship with that guy? Lovers?”
The girl stared at Bai Lixin with hateful eyes: “Yes, he’s my lover.”
Bai Lixin: “Since he already has a lover, he still intended to pursue me in the copy. Your lover doesn’t seem very loyal to you.”
Girl: “So what? The relationship between us is not as shallow as you imagine. I like whatever Carl does! He died, and you’ll pay for it!”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Has this girl been tricked by a PUA? Why isn’t she resisting?
*PUA—Pick Up Artist. However, PUA is a man who leaned how to get women in a short period of time, then plays and controls their emotions.
