Chapter 17

[World] What Are You: ? Didn’t you want to ride on the back of my wolf for a spin?

Seeing this message, Yu Mi’s first reaction was that this guy sent it to the wrong channel! So even you veteran players can have a slip of the hand?

He quickly sent a private message.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Did you send that to the wrong channel?! #Horrified

Shen Gun didn’t reply to him.

The world channel was already filled with question marks.

[World] Lin Ai: Who, who? Who are you asking???

[World] Rolling Little Chick: Who is it, who is it???

[World] Opinion Kai Tian: Are you asking me? Bro, I’m coming over right now!

At this time, other people on the map looked over.

In the game, as long as you click on someone’s character model, you can see who their current target is. So even though What Are You didn’t mention Yu Mi, others clicked on him and saw that his current target was a handsome and dashing Daoist male named Tian Nuo Nuo.

Someone immediately posted Yu Mi’s ID in the world channel.

[World] Qing Shang Mo Xiang: The sister-in-law is here!! [Tian Nuo Nuo]

[Map] Feng Baobao: Wow, 1314 was for the sister-in-law??

[Map] Qing Meng: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Why are you stunned? Go up there!

[Map] Zhu Xiang: Let’s bless [Tian Nuo Nuo] and [What Are You], the newlyweds!!

Yu Mi was dumbfounded in front of the screen. What sister-in-law? How did I become a sister-in-law?

He quickly spoke up.

[Map] Tian Nuo Nuo: We’re enemies!! I’m a guy! How did I become a sister-in-law?

Everyone got even more excited.

[Map] Gu Gu: A male sister-in-law is still a sister-in-law!

[Map] Shi Yu Ya: The kind of enemies that are 1314 pairs? #Despise

[Map] I Only Drink Sprite: Male sister-in-law is good! Male sister-in-law is wonderful!

[Map] Jiu Jiu Can’t Calm Down: The kind of enemies that are “mortal enemies on the surface, but secretly kiss”?

[Map] Tang Tang: Great, it’s a male sister-in-law! We’re saved!

What is all this?

Yu Mi quickly sent a private message to Shen Gun.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: I copied someone else’s flirty words, that line wasn’t originally mine, bro! #Embarrassed

Shen Gun sent another double riding invitation.

[Private Chat] What Are You: Get on, I’ll take you to catch a pet. Don’t be slow.

Pet!!

Yu Mi immediately clicked accept, sat on the back of the other’s wolf, and then typed: What pet?

Shen Gun invited him to team up and then directly opened the mic to speak: “The kind you squat for. Didn’t your master mention it?”

[Team] Tian Nuo Nuo: I know about squatting for pets, my master mentioned it.

This game has a pet manual, and most pets are considered opportunity pets, with three interaction chances at fixed places every day.

And squatting for pets, as the name suggests, are those that require you to squat and wait. They’re not in the opportunity manual, generally refreshing according to a certain time pattern. Because many players need them, you have to grab them early, truly “slow hands get nothing.”

Yu Mi is very fond of pets, whether they’re cute or ugly, he’s okay with them. His master told him that collecting a hundred pets could trigger a supreme opportunity in the pet category, with the reward being a giant fluffy.

That giant fluffy is super cute, and Yu Mi really wants it.

He currently has less than 30 pets!

Shen Gun rode the wolf, carrying him back and forth across the open space.

Yu Mi noticed that the system was indicating their affection was increasing bit by bit.

The “Who’s Watching Me” panel showed a bunch of people watching him, and the map channel had people making a fuss.

[Map] Sad Little Cat: Hello, sister-in-law!

[Map] Don’t Want to Talk: Hello, big sister-in-law! Greetings, big sister-in-law!

[Map] Stare at Who Gets Rich: Is this showing off love? QAQ I also want to ride on brother’s wolf for a spin…

[Map] Yan Lin: Are we becoming NPCs in an online game novel??? Watching others fall in love is so sweet, so beautiful…

[Map] Miscellaneous Food Just Has Rice to Eat: So sweet, so sweet! Let me ship the real fortune-telling group! Blessings! #Flower#Flower

Suddenly being forced into the spotlight, Yu Mi felt a bit at a loss, and he quickly urged.

[Team] Tian Nuo Nuo: Weren’t you going to take me to catch a pet? Let’s go.

“Why don’t you open the mic?” Shen Gun said, “You can open the mic to talk.”

Yu Mi hesitated a bit.

Ever since he forgot to turn off the mic and got recorded online, he hasn’t voiced with strangers, only opening the mic when teaming up with his master and them.

He’s afraid of people knowing he got solo-killed by a healer in the game… Although Zhaixing Tower isn’t essentially a healer class, everyone says Star Healer is also a healer! He can’t help it.

But communicating by typing every day is indeed troublesome. Sometimes the fight starts before he finishes typing.

Yu Mi thought about it, maybe he should get a voice changer to play with? He immediately turned to Chen Ziming.

“Do you have a voice changer, Da Ming?”

Chen Ziming: “Voice changer? Let me check, someone in our guild group might have shared one.”

Yu Mi sent Shen Gun a “wait a moment.”

While waiting for Chen Ziming to find the file, Yu Mi looked at Shen Gun riding the wolf and suddenly wondered if this guy remembered his voice. Did he ever come across the video of their first encounter?

It seems like he hasn’t, right?

Otherwise, he probably would have mentioned it by now.

Chen Ziming sent the file. Yu Mi received it, installed it, and tested it.

He randomly chose a Minion voice, then opened the mic in the game.

“Hello, hello, hello?” He looked at the team panel, “Can you hear me?”

The other side was obviously stunned: “Voice changer?”

“Aren’t you using a voice changer too?” Yu Mi said, realizing this voice changer seemed a bit faulty, the sound was slightly laggy, not very natural.

Shen Gun said: “My roommate gave it to me.”

Yu Mi asked: “Why is your voice changer so clear? It’s quite natural, did you buy it?”

“Yeah,” Shen Gun said, “500 bucks, you can adjust it however you want.”

“500?!” Yu Mi’s voice cracked instantly, “500 for a voice changer?! Is this… is this the world of experts?”

Shen Gun was amused by him, and a light laugh came through the headphones.

Forget it, the world of experts isn’t something a newbie like Yu Mi can understand, he’s more concerned about something else now.

“Where’s the pet? Hurry and take me to catch it.”

Seeing that in these few minutes, their affection had already increased by dozens.

In the friend list, the first heart representing affection was already filled, turning from hollow to a red little heart, unlocking the first level.

If it keeps increasing, it would be something else.

Yu Mi became alert: “Is there really no pet? Are you tricking me?”

“There is.” Shen Gun said, “I’m watching the time. Let’s go. I’ll take you.”

As he spoke, he laughed again, the kind of laugh that couldn’t be held back.

Yu Mi inexplicably felt he had a “can’t help but laugh when thinking about what to do later” vibe…

He was laughed at until he felt uneasy, couldn’t help but ask: “Are you up to no good?”

“No,” Shen Gun cleared his throat, stopped laughing, “Someone sent me a cold joke. Alright, let’s go.”

Then he rode the Howling Sky Wolf, carrying Yu Mi through the crowd of onlookers, heading towards a small path.

Yu Mi was full of anticipation, already preparing for a pet +1.

At this moment, Shen Gun suddenly turned around, taking him to leap towards the Qingyun Alliance resurrection point nearby.

There was a bunch of Qingyun Alliance NPCs there, all fierce and evil!

“Hey!!” Yu Mi shouted, “What are you doing?!”

He prepared to jump off, but in a panic, he pressed a bunch of buttons, not knowing which one to press.

In the headphones, Shen Gun’s wild laughter came through: “Hahaha!”

In an instant, Yu Mi, the little troublemaker from Chiyan Valley, was beaten to death by the hostile Qingyun Alliance NPCs!

“Stinky Shen Gun!” Yu Mi was furious, just about to curse him, when the game suddenly lagged.

The next moment, a golden circle popped up on his screen!!

Yu Mi couldn’t believe it: “Oh my god! I triggered an opportunity?! Ah??”

He shouted excitedly: “Ahhh!”

At the same time, the system issued a server-wide announcement.

[Jianghu Express: As the saying goes, ‘There is a way to heaven, you don’t go; no door to hell, you come uninvited!’ Chiyan Valley’s hero Tian Nuo Nuo was injured by Qingyun Alliance guards, unexpectedly triggering a supreme opportunity: No Door to Hell!]

Qi You’an’s laughter stopped abruptly.

Then his tone was full of disbelief: “How is this possible?! How can a newbie like you trigger a supreme opportunity? Didn’t you just start playing? What’s your experience level??”

“Young master has 30,000 experience!” Yu Mi said excitedly, “I spent over a month leveling up manually! I’ve done most of the main storyline quests, completed a bunch of achievements! I played seriously, not like those instant-level accounts!”

In this fast-food era, there aren’t many players like him who start from the newbie village and seriously do quests to level up! Most players just create an account, use instant-level items, and reach max level in no time, then start roaming the Jianghu.

He didn’t see many other players on the leveling path, it was quite lonely.

Chen Ziming told him that a few years ago, when the leveling process wasn’t streamlined, every time he created a new character, he would meet many players, everyone leveling up together, fighting monsters together, watching the story together. Many became close friends.

Back then, Yu Mi’s master also met him while treasure hunting in the wild, found him serious, cute, and rare, so took him as a disciple.

Talking about these, Yu Mi felt both proud and a bit sad, manual leveling is really not easy!

Now these are all his deserved rewards!

After he triggered the supreme opportunity, the map channel and world channel exploded.

[Map] Su Su Su: ??? How is this possible?? Triggering a supreme opportunity right in front of me, I can’t live!! #Crying

[Map] Professional Haircut: [What Are You], was this in your calculations too, divine calculator??

[World] Strawberry Tart: ??? You’re not allowed to play Sword Roar in the Jianghu!! #Angry#Angry

[Map] Xiao Bu Mian: [What Are You], bro, are you really that good at calculating?? No way! I thought you were tricking the sister-in-law, but you were intentionally helping her trigger an opportunity? Ah???

[Map] Lucky Yao: [What Are You] bro! Can you help me calculate when I’ll trigger a supreme opportunity? #Crying

[World] Ming Zheng Dan Ke Nan: [Tian Nuo Nuo] inhale inhale inhale!! Inhale some luck!! Ahhh!

“Hahahaha!” Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Yu Mi adjusted his headphones, laughing proudly, “Thanks, bro, for the opportunity, love you, mwah mwah!”

The person on the other end of the headphones paused, then pretended to be calm and said: “I calculated it. Intentionally helped you trigger it. Repaying your kindness.”

“You calculated my foot! You big scammer!” Yu Mi snorted coldly, “The wheel of fortune turns, huh? You have your day too? Hehe, now you’re probably gritting your teeth in front of the computer, right?”

He took the opportunity to unleash a barrage.

“I understand, I understand, hahaha! I understand everything!”

“Don’t have a harmful heart! Remember that? Cheer for me, hahaha!”

“Oh my, you’re also my lucky star. I allow you to steal vegetables from my house for the next week.”

Then Yu Mi quickly took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo.

[@EvilPopcorn: Ahhh! A newbie’s first supreme opportunity!! So happy!! Hahaha, it was triggered by my mortal enemy! Double the joy! Just thinking about his unhappy face makes me so happy, hahaha! Hahahaha! Awesome! Today is a good day!]

After posting on Weibo, he couldn’t help but stand up and share the joy with Chen Ziming.

So Qi You’an heard a Minion voice chattering in his headphones.

“Hahaha! I triggered a supreme opportunity, my first supreme!”

“Shen Gun helped me trigger the opportunity!”

“Hahaha, stinky Shen Gun! He has his day too! I’m dying of laughter! He was planning to trick me, hahaha! Laughing to death! It’s all fate!”

After laughing enough, Yu Mi returned to his seat, and he also went to the world channel to sarcastically retaliate against someone.

[World] Tian Nuo Nuo: Thanks to brother [What Are You] for helping me trigger the supreme opportunity, love you. #RedLips#RedLips#RedLips

Shen Gun shamelessly popped up after him to claim credit.

[World] What Are You: Everything was in my calculations. #Sunglasses

Then a bunch of people started asking this Shen Gun to help calculate when they could trigger an opportunity.

“Get lost.” Yu Mi clicked on someone, using the kick butt action on him.

This time he was very cautious, switching to the team channel before using the action, not mistakenly sending the shout to the world channel.

After all, it was his first supreme opportunity, Yu Mi couldn’t even bear to close the opportunity circle on the screen.

He changed into several outfits, took new screenshots, saved the pictures to his computer, and then posted them on Q||Q space before closing it, then went to check the guide.

The reward for this opportunity is a fun toy, two skeleton frames, which can kidnap teammates and throw them around, it’s quite interesting.

Fun, fun!

Yu Mi planned to use it to torment this terribly bad Shen Gun bro first.

Just thinking about what he was going to do made him laugh out loud.

When he glanced at the guide and switched back to the game, he saw the world channel was full of people looking for a partner.

[World] I Am Your Butterfly: Looking for a partner, looking for a partner like [Tian Nuo Nuo] and [What Are You] who can help each other trigger opportunities.

[World] Silent Military Grandpa: Looking for a partner, looking for a partner like [Tian Nuo Nuo] and [What Are You] who can help each other trigger opportunities.

[World] Listening to the Wind Blowing Snow: Looking for a partner, looking for a partner like [Tian Nuo Nuo] and [What Are You] who can help each other trigger opportunities.

Yu Mi was dumbfounded, when did I become partners with Shen Gun?

Ah???

“Bro, bro, bro!” He urgently called Shen Gun, “You quickly go clarify.”

Shen Gun asked: “What?”

“The world channel!” Yu Mi said anxiously, “What are you doing? Look, look, we’re being called partners!”

A few seconds later, Shen Gun said calmly: “I saw. The more you clarify, the more excited they get, don’t mind it, just get used to it.”

The world channel was indeed buzzing, still spamming their names, and some were asking what was going on?

“How can you get used to this? How do you get used to it?” Yu Mi was sweating, “Just let them misunderstand like this? How is that okay?!”

Shen Gun leisurely said: “What? Do you have a partner? Afraid they’ll get mad?”

“How could I?” Yu Mi said, “I’m a newbie, where would I find a partner?”

“Do you have a real-life partner? Afraid of breaking up?”

“I’m single, thank you.”

Yu Mi heard the other side chuckle, then say: “Then what’s the problem? They’re just making a fuss, once someone else triggers an opportunity and gets announced, it’ll blow over.”

“No, no. I’m a pure male university student, how can I be unclear with you?” Yu Mi typed furiously, then went to the world channel to urgently clarify.

[World] Tian Nuo Nuo: Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors! [What Are You] and I are not partners! We’re enemies! Enemies! #(╯‵□′)╯

The next second, a huge heart-shaped rose firework exploded around him.

Although Yu Mi is a newbie, he knows that in this game, setting off fireworks is for confessing!

Yu Mi was dumbfounded: “What are you doing?!”
