Chapter 7

[Private Chat] What Are You: Why are you looking at me? Do you like me?

Yu Mi was taken aback.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: How did you know I was looking at you???

[Private Chat] What Are You: I told you, I can predict things. I just calculated it. #Sunglasses

Yu Mi was stunned.

“Da—”

He was about to ask Chen Ziming, but when he turned his head, he saw that Chen Ziming had already climbed into bed and fallen asleep.

Yu Mi quickly fell silent.

Feeling it was too strange, he couldn’t help but post on Weibo for help.

[@EvilPopcorn: Family, why is it that when I look at a player from the Star Picking Tower, they know I’m looking at them? Seriously, can all of you from the Star Picking Tower really predict things? [Shocked][Shocked]]

After posting on Weibo, Yu Mi refreshed a few times and soon received many replies.

@QingMeng: First, tell us if the player you’re looking at is the same adult male from the Star Picking Tower as before? [Side-eye smile]

@GuLuLu: Him? Which him? Is the old fortune teller fooling you again?

@XingXingDeng: Yeah, our Star Picking Tower is just that amazing. [Sunglasses]

@TearsOfPolaris: Yeah, our Star Picking Tower is just that amazing. [Sunglasses]

@LittleStar: Yeah, our Star Picking Tower is just that amazing. [Sunglasses]

…

Is this for real??

Yu Mi scratched his head. Are the players from this faction really that mysterious?

He kept refreshing the comments section, and soon the official Star Picking Tower faction account also reposted his Weibo, saying, “Yeah, our Star Picking Tower can indeed predict things.”

This led to more Star Picking Tower players joining in the fun.

After a while, a kind person finally revealed the truth.

“I guess you haven’t turned on the [Who’s Watching Me] feature. Follow my steps: open game settings—operation switch—scroll down—enable whether to show who’s watching me.”

Following the kind person’s tutorial, Yu Mi operated step by step and finally found the feature. After selecting it, a floating panel appeared on the screen, directly showing who was currently targeting his game character.

At that moment, the panel showed three people watching him, with their IDs clearly displayed.

One of them was “What Are You.”

Yu Mi was speechless. He really thought some people could predict things!

He immediately replied in private chat.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Why are you looking at me? Never seen a handsome guy before?

[Private Chat] What Are You: Be right back!

He’s AFK…

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: You deceitful fortune teller, I really thought you could predict things. I already know how it’s done!

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Just fooling newbies, is it fun? #Angry#Angry

On the other side, Qi You’an, who was AFK and eating in the dorm, saw the questioning in the private chat and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

It’s fun.

Really fun.

“Yo, the iron tree is blooming?” He Wenrui, who was about to call his roommate for a fight, noticed the mysterious smile on Qi You’an’s face and immediately leaned over to look at his screen.

“Wow, isn’t this the newbie you healed for an entire match but didn’t even remember your faction, and then gave you an opportunity? Are you in love?”

He Wenrui observed his roommate’s expression: “Have you calculated it yourself? Is he your destined one?”

The roommate returned to his usual cold demeanor: “Get lost.”

“You actually treat your three-year roommate like this for a newbie!” He Wenrui clutched his chest, pretending to be hurt, and retreated to his seat, “Just wait, tomorrow I’ll rob his escort mission!”

Qi You’an: “Just don’t call me to save you.”

He Wenrui said, “Come on, let’s fight!”

Yu Mi saw that his enemy was temporarily away from the computer, so he approached the opponent’s game character.

Taking advantage of the fortune teller’s absence, he used the system’s interactive action to kick the opponent’s butt hard.

The fortune teller fell to the ground.

Yu Mi couldn’t help but laugh, quickly covering his mouth, and glanced back.

Luckily, his roommate wasn’t woken up.

He turned back and continued kicking the fortune teller’s butt, kicking again and again.

Meanwhile, Qi You’an had finished his meal and was still AFK, making cosplay props while silently watching himself get kicked by the newbie.

The message box kept pinging.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Tian Nuo Nuo angrily kicked your butt!

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: Tian Nuo Nuo angrily kicked your butt!

…

After who knows how many kicks, Yu Mi’s private chat pinged.

He thought the fortune teller was back and quickly fled.

But when he looked at the chat channel in the lower left corner, many people were copying his ID.

[Faction] Omega: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Don’t just kick his butt, kick mine too. #Shy

[Faction] A Delicate Flower: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Don’t just kick his butt, kick mine too. #Shy

[Faction] Yi Shui Han: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Don’t just kick his butt, kick mine too. #Shy

Yu Mi scrolled up the chat history and realized that kicking the butt had an automatic shout!

He had previously copied some flirty lines in the faction channel and forgot to switch channels, sending them all there!

So the faction channel was filled with “Tian Nuo Nuo angrily kicked What Are You’s butt!”

Yu Mi’s mind went blank.

So embarrassing!

He wanted to die!

Now, a bunch of people were shouting for him to kick their butts.

Yu Mi’s face turned red, and he replied in the faction channel: Master, there’s… there’s a pervert!

But a bunch of people replied: You’re the one kicking people’s butts, aren’t you the pervert? #Disdain

Yu Mi was utterly embarrassed.

He was about to log off when the faction channel suddenly filled with team-up calls.

[Faction] Bro Wants to Fight: Stop kicking butts! Come fight! Lingze Village faction war ++++

[Faction] Practice More If You’re Bad: Lingze Village kick Qingyun Alliance’s butt ++++ Need healers ++++

[Faction] I Can’t Heal Anymore: Come to Lingze Village to kick butts ++++

Yu Mi was confused. What’s going on?

Then the guild channel also had people forming teams.

[Guild Group Chat] Guild Leader: Faction war, join the team +++ I’m buried! QAQ Dads, save me! Everyone online, come!

Yu Mi looked at his pitifully low gear score, unsure if he should go, so he replied and asked: Should I go? I’m a newbie, my gear score is very low…

The guild leader immediately replied: Come!! Come play! Experience the thrill of PVP!

So Yu Mi quickly joined the guild team and flew to the scene.

When he arrived, there were so many people!

*

All red names!

Qingyun Alliance had over 150 people, and Chiyan Valley had over 120, more than two hundred people.

Allies in the same faction were green names, enemies were red names, and the two groups were fighting fiercely.

The map channel was filled with “Red bad guys/Blue handsome guys kick butts +++” team-up calls.

As the initiator of the butt-kicking, Yu Mi quietly activated damage reduction and squeezed to his teammates’ side, immediately feeling the care of the healers.

He heard someone speaking in the team voice chat, quickly turned on the speaker, and listened to the team leader’s commands, casting skills and attacking the opponents.

Yu Mi mingled in the crowd, constantly pressing FFFFF, using the game’s martial arts assistant to output as much as possible.

It was his first time playing a game with hundreds of people fighting together, and Yu Mi found it very novel. He tried to steal kills and actually managed to get one!

A cold voice came through his headphones, “Kill one!”

Yu Mi felt exhilarated!

The feeling of killing was awesome!

So he continued to press FFF like crazy!

The map channel was noisy with all kinds of taunts. Yu Mi couldn’t quite understand, so he politely private messaged a healer in the team, asking what was going on?

The healer wasn’t very sure either: It seems like they started fighting over a pet.

Yu Mi: Is this PVP? 0.0

Teammate: This is PVP!

Then Yu Mi noticed that his enemy seemed to have arrived too.

[Map] Spicy Hot Pot: [What Are You] Fortune teller, predict which side will win?

[Map] What Are You: The side with more people.

Yu Mi was speechless. Isn’t that obvious?? Even a newbie like him knows the side with more people will win.

Yet a bunch of people were spamming “Fortune teller! As expected of a fortune teller!”

Yu Mi thought: It’s clearly a fortune teller, isn’t it?!

Yu Mi continued to press FFF like crazy.

As he pressed, a crisp sound effect played in his ear, and the next second, his game character entered a vast starry sky, with stars twinkling before his eyes. So beautiful… Wait! He couldn’t use any skills on the panel!

After a long 6 seconds, Yu Mi glanced at the chat panel in the lower left corner.

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

This was a plugin feature Chen Ziming helped him set up a few days ago. When he got hit, it would automatically shout in the team channel, showing who hit him with a critical skill, so teammates could know his situation in time.

Yu Mi glanced at the “Who’s Watching Me” feature and saw several enemy faction players watching him.

One of them was that fortune teller.

[Private Chat] Tian Nuo Nuo: ?

[Private Chat] What Are You: ??

Yu Mi also switched targets and pressed FFF at the fortune teller!

Half a minute later—

[System]: You injured What Are You.

Yu Mi was instantly overjoyed.

Awesome!

So awesome!

A few seconds later, the opponent revived on the spot, and their health bar was quickly filled by healers.

Yu Mi continued to attack him.

Soon, his own health bar was empty.

[System]: What Are You injured you.

Yu Mi: …

After reviving on the spot, he was about to take revenge when he was suddenly trapped in the starry sky again.

Such a beautiful starry sky, such an annoying fortune teller!

I have to admit, this skill is really beautiful, so dreamy… but being trapped is really helpless.

For the rest of the time, Yu Mi spent the afternoon watching stars.

The team channel kept automatically shouting.

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

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

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

Eventually, even the teammates couldn’t stand it.

[Team] Michelangelo: Is our newbie being targeted by the enemy’s star dad? #Surprised

[Team] Sweet and Sour Ribs: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Why does this person keep trapping you in the little black room? Is he secretly in love with you?

[Team] Night Idle Clear Dream Falling Flowers: [Tian Nuo Nuo] Poor baby, just private message him and ask if he’s secretly in love with you.

Yu Mi saw the suggestions from everyone, but he was too embarrassed…

He replied in the team: Isn’t that inappropriate? #Embarrassed

He was too shy, but his teammates weren’t. They switched to the map channel to stand up for him.

[Map] Spirited Young Man: [What Are You] Fortune teller, why do you keep trapping our guild’s newbie [Tian Nuo Nuo] in the little black room? Are you secretly in love with him? #Surprised

[Map] Spirited Young Girl: [What Are You] Fortune teller, why do you keep trapping our guild’s newbie [Tian Nuo Nuo] in the little black room? Are you secretly in love with him? #Surprised

[Map] Spirited Old Man: [What Are You] Speak up.

Having such a private matter publicly exposed, Yu Mi’s face involuntarily heated up.

The faction war was thus derailed, and the map channel was filled with calls for someone to speak up, even players from the same faction Qingyun Alliance were pressing him.

[Map] Little Bear Cookie: [What Are You] Speak up!

[Map] Swallow: [What Are You] Speak up!

[Map] Soul-Crushing Rice: [What Are You] Speak up!

…

In the dorm, He Wenrui looked at his roommate on the right.

“Speak up!”

The boy with long blue-black hair released the mouse, his distinct fingers lifting a cup of coffee to his lips, taking a sip.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

His voice carried a hint of amusement.

“Speak what?”
