Chapter 18

[Jianghu Express! “What Are You” hero used the legendary [Romantic Moonlight] on “Tian Nuo Nuo” hero at Chang Lan River, announcing to the world: What Are You’s admiration for Tian Nuo Nuo. The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright. When will we meet again? This night is hard to bear! The sky is eternal, love is hard to break. May I be like the stars, and you like the moon, shining together every night. From now on, we will ride side by side to the ends of the earth, accompany each other in the mortal world, never leaving or abandoning!]

[World] Jiu Xi: ???
[World] Zao An Zao Zao Zao: Enemies??
[World] Zhao Cai Mao: If you two are enemies, then what am I?? Am I a dog?
[Map] Zhao Cai Mao: If you two are enemies, then what am I?? Am I a dog?

“Xiao Ba!!” Chen Ziming turned his head, “What’s going on?! How did you two end up like this?”

“No!” Yu Mi was flustered, covering his headset with one hand, “What are you doing?”

A calm voice came through the headset from Shen Gun.
“Clicked the wrong button.”

“How could you click the wrong button??!” Yu Mi looked at the scattered petals around him, “Dude, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you a veteran player? Huh???”

It was the first time someone set off fireworks for him, and it even made it to the broadcast. Yu Mi was somewhat shocked. The key point was that this guy was an enemy from the opposing faction! At this moment, his master also sent a private chat, asking what was going on between the two of them. Yu Mi quickly typed to explain to his concerned master.

“What about being a veteran player?” Shen Gun said nonchalantly through the headset, “I was just organizing my backpack.”

Yu Mi was about to say something when the other party added, “Didn’t I also get you an achievement?”

“Achievement?” Yu Mi checked. “Oh yeah, a friend used Romantic Moonlight on me… 20 points of experience. Not bad, not bad.”

Many opportunities require experience points, so Yu Mi welcomed anything that could increase his experience.

“See?” Shen Gun said with a hint of laughter. “No need to thank me.”

“What do you mean no need to thank you? You got me into trouble!” Yu Mi quickly went to the world channel to explain again.

[World] Tian Nuo Nuo: He clicked the wrong button orz, he said he was just organizing his backpack and accidentally clicked on the fireworks.

He copied the explanation to the map channel as well, but people weren’t buying it.

[Map] Fu Lan: You believe that??? Baby… you’re as pure as a blank sheet of paper, no wonder he likes you! You’re so cute. What should I do, I’ve fallen for you too? #cry
[Map] Jian Bing Guo Zi: Oh my god, is there really someone this pure these days? Baby, you’re really so cute QAQ I’ve fallen for you too ahhh!
[World] Guan Yu: Ahhh so pure love! I can’t handle it!!
[World] Wei Jin Shi Zhong Sheng: [Tian Nuo Nuo] don’t be fooled! He probably said he clicked the wrong button because he was afraid you’d reject him.
[World] Wu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu: Eating pure love in a game?? Suspected to be an old cunning Shen Gun X pure as paper newbie?? Give me a friend slot, please! I want to watch your love up close!
[World] Rou Jia Mo: Yes, baby, he clicked the wrong button. [Tian Nuo Nuo] baby, be with me #pitiful.
[Map] Mi Jiang E E Fan Fan: So cute! It’s hard not to love ahhh! Such a cute baby QAQ.
[Map] Dou Jiang You Tiao: Sweet… sweet to the point of fainting… so cute it’s dizzying.

What kind of mess is this?

Yu Mi looked at everyone’s comments, feeling a bit confused. Was he really tricked by Shen Gun? Was it intentional or accidental? This guy even increased his affection level… what does he mean by that?

While he was at a loss, Shen Gun laughed and said, “I told you not to explain, but you didn’t believe me.”

Yu Mi shouted angrily, “You’re plotting against me!”

“I helped you get an achievement, and you’re scolding me?” Shen Gun said helplessly. “Be reasonable, little Taoist.”

“Get lost…” Yu Mi noticed a nearby herb, so he habitually collected it, then opened his backpack to put the recently collected herbs up for sale in the trading house.

At this moment, he realized he seemed to have a time-limited item about to expire. He hovered the mouse over it and saw, huh? It was a firework?

Yu Mi was confused, how did he have this? He was sure he hadn’t bought it, could it have been a gift from some event? He really couldn’t remember.

“I also have a firework. It’s about to expire,” he said casually.

Shen Gun: “Oh?”

He just said “Oh?” and nothing else. Yu Mi subconsciously thought, would the other party want him to set off this firework for him? But Shen Gun didn’t say anything.

Yu Mi: “You veteran players must have completed that achievement of being set off fireworks long ago, right?”

“Of course, but you can still set it off for me,” Shen Gun said. “Your first time using fireworks will also get you an achievement. The first time and the 100th time both have achievements, 100 is cumulative. You can help me accumulate.”

Yu Mi thought, trying to trick me into setting off fireworks for you? No way! If we really set off fireworks for each other, it would be hard to explain! I’m a newbie, not a fool. This guy is too cunning!

Yu Mi said, “Learned something new,” while summoning a pet, selecting his pet, and then right-clicking the firework.

[System: Please select the hero you admire before using!]

Yu Mi turned off the microphone and asked Chen Ziming, “Can fireworks only be used on people? I remember seeing on Weibo or something before I played the game that someone set off fireworks on a wooden stake?”

“Fake,” Chen Ziming said. “They can only be used on people. But some fireworks don’t necessarily have to be used on others, you can also select yourself and use them on yourself. What’s the name of your firework?”

Yu Mi reported the name: “Xia Ke Xing.”

“This one can be used on yourself,” Chen Ziming said. “It should be a check-in gift.”

“Okok.” Yu Mi then selected himself and right-clicked the firework.

A silhouette of a swordsman appeared around him, performing a sword dance. The system announcement also broadcasted that Tian Nuo Nuo hero used the legendary Xia Ke Xing firework, and at the same time, an achievement completion notification popped up on Yu Mi’s screen. Another 20 points of experience!

But—everyone’s reaction seemed off?

[Map] Xiao Xiang Zhu: Little Taoist clicked the wrong button??
[Map] Jie Jie Mi Wo: [Tian Nuo Nuo] did you mean to set off the firework for Shen Gun but forgot to select him? #laugh
[Map] Wang Shi Liu Zhuan: Baby, to set off fireworks for someone else, you need to select their game model~ Why didn’t Shen Gun teach you?
[Map] Ba Jian Liu Zhu Ni Ma: Silly newbie, so cute! QAQ doesn’t even know how to set off fireworks for the person they like, so cute, so cute, really so cute!! No wonder Shen Gun spent 13.14 million to buy a wolf.
[Map] Hu Lu Lu: Also made me eat real silly newbie, so cute I’m dizzy…

What is going on?

Yu Mi quickly explained.

[Map] Tian Nuo Nuo: I didn’t click the wrong button! I set it off for myself, no mistake. Everyone, don’t overthink it (:з」∠)…

[Map] Zhao Cai Mao: Okay, okay. #smirk
[Map] Zhao Ri Tian: Yeah, yeah, yeah. #smirk
[Map] Mo Cha Nai Lu: Alright, alright, alright. #smirk

Why do they seem not to believe it… Shen Gun clicked the wrong button, and no one believed it. He didn’t click the wrong button, and no one believed it either.

Yu Mi held his forehead. Looks like this place isn’t suitable for staying long.

“I’m going to do the follow-up for the opportunity.” Yu Mi greeted Shen Gun, then left the team, using his light skill to fly away from the place of trouble.

Outside the game, he took off his headset and let out a breath. So this is what it feels like to have fireworks set off for you… It made him sweat all over.

Although he flew away, the follow-up tasks related to the opportunity still had to be done on this map, so he could still see the map channel chat.

After he flew away, everyone didn’t let Shen Gun off the hook.

[Map] Yi Yi: Shen Gun, chase after him, what are you standing there for?!
[Map] Fan Qie Chao Fan: Shen Gun, do you like him? Confess!
[Map] Xiu Xue Tang Li: Sigh, I thought Shen Gun had seen through the world
