Chapter 11

[Map] Tian Nuo Nuo: Why are you so concerned about whether I’m online or not? Secretly in love with me?? #RollingEyes

[Map] Ba Biao Tong Hun: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Tell us your story! I don’t mind spending a bit on a monthly card. (Arrogant) (Ears Perked) (Eating Melon Seeds)

[Map] Zhu Chuntian: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Tell us your story! I don’t mind spending a bit on a monthly card. (Arrogant) (Ears Perked) (Eating Melon Seeds)

[Map] Xiao Bendan Qichuang La: What’s the gossip, what’s the gossip?!

[Private Chat] Jinjiang Zai Tao Shizun: Little one, did you send it to the wrong channel? 0.0

Yu Mi looked up after opening his takeout, and his mind went blank with a loud bang.

Oh my god! Did I send it to the wrong channel again?

Why do I keep sending it to the wrong channel?!

It’s all because there are too many channels! The chat function in this game is really poorly designed.

He hurriedly typed.

[Map] Tian Nuo Nuo: Sorry, I sent it to the wrong channel! #Embarrassed #Embarrassed

Who knew that after his explanation, everyone got even more excited.

[Map] Za Shi Jiu You Fan Chi: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Who was it originally meant for? Tell me quietly, I promise I won’t tell anyone!

[Nearby Chat] Zhu Xiang: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Who was it originally meant for? Tell me quietly, I promise I won’t tell anyone!

[Map] ダ: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Who was it originally meant for? Tell me quietly, I promise I won’t tell anyone!

Amidst a bunch of copied messages, there was a private chat.

[Private Chat] What Are You: Cutie, I’m here. Where are you sending it to? #Surprised

Yu Mi was so angry he was grinding his teeth, but he couldn’t bother with him. He quickly asked his master for help, asking him to post something in the map channel to divert everyone’s attention!

His master immediately came to the rescue.

[Map] Jinjiang Zai Tao Shizun: If I say you’re Nan Tong, you get mad, if I say you’re No. 1, you get all smug. #Disdain

This sentence was indeed quite cheeky, and soon a bunch of people started copying it, successfully diverting the topic.

Crisis averted.

Yu Mi let out a sigh of relief and then started eating.

After a couple of bites, he opened the private chat and sent a bunch of knocking emojis to Shen Gun.

Shen Gun replied with a bunch of sunglasses emojis.

Yu Mi noticed he really loved using that sunglasses emoji, or rather, it seemed like many players from the Star Picking Tower loved using it, even his fans in the comments section on Weibo.

His master asked Yu Mi to go play on YY, and Yu Mi entered the channel. His master explained how to play this event.

“Faction War is a very important PVP activity for us. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, it’s siege warfare, called ‘Smoke and Fire Everywhere,’ where both sides fight for territory on the map. On Saturday and Sunday, we raid the enemy’s main base, with hundreds of people attacking the opposing faction’s stronghold to fight the boss, called ‘Battle Across a Thousand Miles.’ However, the main map requires high gear scores, so if your gear score isn’t high enough, you go to the secondary line. That’s where we are now, it’s relatively peaceful here, and both sides just stand and fight, people call this score farming.”

Yu Mi listened to his master’s explanation while looking at the in-game event description.

“Got it, got it, need to queue on time… Oh, so that’s how it is.”

He ate while listening to the sect chat.

Before long, Chen Ziming finally woke up, and Yu Mi told him the food was on the table.

Chen Ziming groggily thanked him and then got up to wash up.

Yu Mi called him to come score farming.

Chen Ziming said, “I’m a PVE player, I don’t participate in your PVP play.”

Yu Mi: “Alright then.”

“Wait!” He suddenly remembered something was off, quickly turned off the mic, and asked Chen Ziming, “Hey, I got caught by Shen Gun after logging in, how did he know I was avoiding him?”

Chen Ziming said, “He’s an old trickster, probably can predict things.”

Yu Mi rolled his eyes at him: “Don’t make me hit you.”

Chen Ziming laughed: “It’s simple, he might have added you with a small account one-way. That way, he can see you specifically log in when his main account isn’t online.”

“What??” Yu Mi was utterly shocked, immediately opened his friend list, trying to find Shen Gun’s small account, suspecting everyone!

But he couldn’t be sure about any of them.

After finishing his meal, the event started. Yu Mi followed his group to a riverbank.

Just as he landed and hadn’t steadied himself, he suddenly entered a starry sky.

[Team] Tian Nuo Nuo: I got sent to outer space to watch stars by [What Are You]! It’s so dark, I’m so scared #Crying.

Once the black room ended, Yu Mi immediately sent a private message.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Starting again, huh?

[Private Chat] What Are You: Yep.

This guy was really stingy with words, yet he was so good at using the fewest words to make people angry.

Yu Mi looked at the word he sent.

Fine, fine, let’s hurt each other then.

The two factions fought across a shallow stream, attacking each other, starting to score farm.

Yu Mi glanced at Who’s Watching Me, couldn’t find Shen Gun’s ID on the panel. He moved his mouse, trying to find the other side among the 400+ densely packed names across the river, but couldn’t find him no matter what.

There were just too many people, over 800 on both sides, never seen a game with this many people participating in an event.

He asked Chen Ziming for help.

“You can add him to your focus,” Chen Ziming took off his headphones and came over, “Open the plugin, click here… add his game ID to the focus list.”

Yu Mi typed.

Chen Ziming couldn’t help but laugh at what he typed: “Hey, his name isn’t ‘Shen Gun’!”

“Oops, oops,” Yu Mi laughed too, quickly corrected it, typing while muttering that guy’s ID, “You… What Are You…”

After adding it, he opened the focus list, and a floating page appeared on the screen.

At the top of the list was that guy’s ID, showing he was 15 feet away, and there was a very obvious flashing alert on the screen.

Yu Mi clicked on the name in the focus list, instantly selecting Shen Gun’s game character among the thousands of enemy troops, then he directly unleashed a barrage of FFF on that guy!

Chen Ziming chuckled: “He’s the first person on your focus list, huh.”

Yu Mi was focused on beating Shen Gun: “Why does your tone sound so sour?”

“Of course it’s sour,” Chen Ziming said, “I’m not even on your focus list.”

Yu Mi turned his head: “He’s my enemy, I want to beat him, so I added him to my focus. You’re not my enemy.”

“You don’t get it,” Chen Ziming explained, “Adding to focus lets you immediately know if someone you care about is nearby, both enemies and friends can be added to focus.”

“Oh, I see,” Yu Mi nodded, “Got it, then I’ll add you and my master to the focus too.”

He quickly did so.

“Good student.” Chen Ziming patted his shoulder with satisfaction, then returned to his seat.

After setting up the focus, Yu Mi continued to attack Shen Gun.

The group leader opened the mic to command: “Our ranged classes, pull the enemy over, use your pulling skills to drag them over.”

Yu Mi spammed skills [Sword Qi Walk] on Shen Gun, releasing a sword qi that pulled the opponent over.

In an instant, Shen Gun died under the siege of his teammates.

“Awesome!” Yu Mi was very excited.

When the skill cooldown ended, he pulled the opponent over again, and Shen Gun died again!

Even though the kill wasn’t his, Yu Mi was still very happy.

For the rest of the time, he focused on pulling the opponent, while Shen Gun focused on sending him to the black room.

The two of them just kept hurting each other, back and forth.

Before long, someone in the map channel mentioned Yu Mi.

[Map] Xing Yun Yao: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Why do you keep pulling our guild’s [What Are You]? Secretly in love with him?

[Map] Tang Tang: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Why do you keep pulling our guild’s [What Are You]? Secretly in love with him?

[Map] Mo Se Qian Qian: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Speak up, speak up.

[Map] Yan Lin: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Speak up, speak up.

Just like that day, a group of people mentioned Yu Mi, asking him to speak up.

Even his teammates copied and urged him to speak.

Yu Mi was suddenly at a loss, what was he supposed to say?

At this moment, someone sent a private chat.

[Private Chat] What Are You: What goes around comes around. #Sunglasses

Yu Mi wished he could punch his sunglasses to pieces.

Before he could think of what to say, a new storm suddenly appeared.

Someone recognized him.

[Map] Zhang Qiling Sit Down: Wait, aren’t you the one who got solo killed by a healer? [Tian Nuo Nuo]

[Map] Qing Meng: Huh?? Solo killed by a healer?

[Map] Ling Hun Ban Mian Jiang: Pause the secret love, [Tian Nuo Nuo] interview, how did you manage that?

Yu Mi was stunned.

No way, am I really that famous??

He explained again.

[Map] Tian Nuo Nuo: I wasn’t solo killed by a healer, I was killed by [What Are You] this jerk, clear my name! #Angry

Shen Gun quickly followed up.

[Map] What Are You: That day, I did kill [Tian Nuo Nuo]. The situation was a bit complicated… In short, my AOE skill accidentally took him out, I wasn’t originally trying to kill him. #Embarrassed

Seeing him help explain, Yu Mi’s heart was slightly moved.

The person involved spoke up, surely everyone would believe it now?!

However, things still went beyond his expectations.

[Map] Meng Mei Bu Yu: Star Healer is also a healer, so yeah, it was indeed a solo kill by a healer.

[Map] Fen Yu: Star Healer is also a healer, so yeah, it was indeed a solo kill by a healer.

[Map] Heng Zai: Star Healer is also a healer, so yeah, it was indeed a solo kill by a healer.

Yu Mi lost all strength and means.

He took his hands off the keyboard, leaned back, and let out a wail to the sky.

“Heavens, why do you treat me like this…”

[Private Chat] What Are You: I tried my best.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Get lost!

In YY, his master held back laughter and comforted: “Just accept it, everyone knows it’s impossible to be solo killed by a healer, they’re just teasing you. Don’t mind it.”

Yu Mi helplessly replied with an “Mm.”

Two beeps sounded in his headphones, he looked down, the guild leader sent him a message.

[Private Chat] Guild Leader: Darling! You’re so popular ovo… The guild wants to recruit more people, can we use your name to help recruit? Please!

Yu Mi thought, how can this be? Isn’t this rubbing salt in my wound—

[Private Chat] Guild Leader: I’ll give you 20,000 gold as compensation.

Yu Mi immediately perked up: It’s my honor to serve the guild!

He then posted a recruitment ad in the map channel.

[Map] Tian Nuo Nuo: I’m Tian Nuo Nuo, got solo killed by a healer, mocked by enemies, ridiculed by the whole server #Crying… I’m ready to fight to the death! Join [Mi Xue Bing Cheng], join the guild to hear my revenge plan! #Fierce

After the ad went out, the guild channel was flooded with new member notifications.

Yu Mi also received the 20,000 gold sent by the guild leader.

He looked at his little gold stash, making money, making money!

Feeling great!

An hour later, the faction war ended.

Everyone was forcibly teleported out of the map.

After counting his rewards, Yu Mi prepared to do his daily dungeon.

He glanced back, Chen Ziming was doing a 25-man raid, and his master had logged off to eat. So he flew to the dungeon entrance by himself, ready to find a random team.

As soon as he landed, the focus list alerted him, Shen Gun was nearby.

Yu Mi instinctively clicked to see where he was, and then saw that the other party’s target was also him.

Newbie Yu Mi didn’t understand, so he asked.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Did you also set me as a focus??

In front of the computer, Qi You’an was slightly stunned.

Also??

His mouth involuntarily curved up, then he replied with one word: √

The second private chat from the other side quickly followed.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Do you hate me that much? #RollingEyes

Qi You’an raised an eyebrow.

Huh???

No, this newbie, does he have some misunderstanding about adding to focus?

Who taught him that?

How is one supposed to respond to this?
