Chapter 35
Chapter 35 My Offer Is Long-term Effective
Zheng Xiaoguang sighed helplessly. She had suspected that it was Venus, but now it turned out to be Evely.
It had taken her a lot of time to set this trap. She felt really dejected that she had failed to get any compelling evidence and purge herself of the suspicion this time. Besides, she never expected Evely to quit the game and never come back.
[Nearby] Bluegreen-Clad: That’s alright. I trust you.
Upon seeing that message, Zheng Xiaoguang somehow blushed.
[Nearby] Flowing Light: But… I don’t want to put you in an awkward situation…
When she was vexed at her failure, Bluegreen-Clad suddenly sent her a Private Chat message: Honey, check the official forum.
“Is there some explosive news?” She wondered and hurriedly logged on Shiny Sky Forum. The next moment, she saw the first stickly post’s title “Evely, Traitor of the League of Strong Families”.
It was posted by an ID that she had never come across before, but it contained screenshots of conversation between Evely and a hidden ID.
The screenshots clearly showed how Evely had plotted against Flowing Light and how she had told the hidden ID when she wanted Flowing Light’s teammates dead. All the details matched those of the incident that had happened yesterday.
After reading this sticky post, Zheng Xiaoguang thought excitedly, “So now everyone knows that I’m innocent.”
[Private Chat] You talk to Bluegreen-Clad: Did you post it on the official forum?It’s really a brilliant idea.
[Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad talks to you: No, it’s not me.
“Huh? Then who is it?” Zheng Xiaoguang wondered, and suddenly she received a Private Chat message from an unexpected person.
[Private Chat] Shallow Sleep talks to you: I’ve already found out the traitor of the League of Strong Families and posted the evidences on the forum. By the way, I want to tell you that it was not me who set you up. My gang boss logged into my account and pretended to be me to deceive you. I never planned to get back on the League of Strong Families by improper means.
Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought to herself, “Shallow Sleep really seems to be innocent. I could tell that from Evely’s reaction when I pretended to be him and talked to her. Besides, he said that he had helped me to purge myself of the suspicion. He’s probably trustworthy.”
[Private Chat] You talk to Shallow Sleep: Thank you.
[Private Chat] Shallow Sleep talks to You: Flowing Light, I’ve come back to the Sacred Temple, and now we are enemies. If I meet you on the battleground again, I’ll never show you any mercy.
Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised and thought, “Ah? Why does he suddenly mention this? Well, this is good for me. Upon seeing these words, no one will think that I have an affair with him anymore. Hum, this Shallow Sleep is indeed a great guy.”
[Private Chat] You talk to Shallow Sleep: Well, I won’t show you any mercy on the battleground either.
After a long time, Shallow Sleep replied.
[Private Chat] Shallow Sleep talks to you: As to the offer I made to you, it’s long-term effective. One day when you want to leave the League of Strong Families, you can come to find me.
Zheng Xiaoguang was lost in thought, “The offer he made to me…”
She quickly thought of that message from Shallow Sleep — “How about I establish a new gang and let you be the first lady of my gang to make it up to you?”
“Ah… Does he mean…”
She felt that her heart began to race as she wondered, “Is this the indispensable drama in every legendary online game? Two god-like players compete for the hand of the same girl, and no matter how indecisive the girl is, the god-like players will never give up… (1,500 syrupy words are omitted here). Both of the two god-like players will tell the girl, ‘Even if the seas go dry and rocks crumble, my will will remain firm.’
“Do I suddenly become super charming and make numerous guys fall for me? Hah-hah, maybe I suddenly become attractive to all god-like players. Once I gazed at a god-like player, he’ll fall in love with me~”
Zheng Xiaoguang got carried away by her romanticism for one minute.
She quickly got back to reality. She looked at the handsome magician standing in front of her character Flowing Light and smiled.
[Private Chat] You talk to Shallow Sleep: Thank you, but I think that I’ll never leave the League of Strong Families.
Shallow Sleep was surprised upon seeing that and sighed secretly, “Sigh, I’ve hesitated for such a long time before telling her this. But it looks like I still get turned down.”
He looked vacantly at the last message on his Private Chat channel for a while. After that, he quickly got over this crush and thought, “It’s nothing. It’s just an online game, and she’s just a somewhat interesting girl. Maybe we’ll meet on the battlefield again in the future.
“I won’t show any mercy to my enemy.
“So, Flowing Light, as you refuse to be my wife, you’d better become a tough opponent for me.”
In the mean time—
The girl who wore her brown hair short in a bob was gritting her teeth while reading the sticky post “Evely, Traitor of the League of Strong Families” on the official forum of the game. As the screenshots showed conversation between her and the gang boss of the Sacred Temple, she thought grumpily, “Even if it’s not the gang boss of the Sacred Temple himself posted this, he can never say that he has nothing to do with it.
“Two days ago, he promised me that he would never sell me out. Huh, what a fickle friend! These guys are not trustworthy at all. Fortunately, I haven’t staked my reputation on this plan.
“But why did this post become sticky so fast? Does the person who posted it has direct connections with the Shiny Sky company?”
“What can I say? Chance always contrives better than we ourselves.” She felt dejected as she failed to kick Flowing Light out of the League of Strong Families again. On second thought, she felt lucky as she had used her alternate account instead of her main account to contact the gang boss of the Sacred Temple.
She wondered, “Why Bluegreen-Clad trust Flowing Light so much? If I had a big brother like Blooming Pear Tree, would he treat me differently too? How can I become such a resourceful person to attract Bluegreen-Clad’s attention? What can I do to make him stay with me forever?”
Her hair on the right side of her head slid down. She tucked them behind her right ear and logged on Shiny Sky again. Twenty seconds later, Shiny Sky Elf told her: Dear Venus Will Cry, welcome back to Shiny Sky Online. Wish you a happy tour in the online gaming world.
