Chapter 841: Gu Yang Plays Games
Editor: Henyee Translations
In exchange for mutual benefits, they each took what they needed. Cooperation seemed like a win-win situation, so why not?
Gu Yang and Yan Xi exchanged WeChat contacts to facilitate future communication.
After Yan Xi forwarded the incriminating evidence against Tiansheng Media to Gu Yang, Gu Yang promptly forwarded it to Gu Zhaoming along with Yan Xi’s requests.
However, Gu Zhaoming, who had been occupied with his busy schedule, did not reply immediately.
Yan Xi resumed her game. Despite being muted, she continued to play undisturbed. Just as she was about to put on her headphones, she noticed Gu Yang sitting next to her. Confused, she asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be heading back to school?”
Yan Xi assumed that someone as diligent as Gu Yang wouldn’t enjoy lingering in an internet cafe.
Gu Yang settled beside her and powered on her computer. Spotting the Legend of Gods game on the table, she decided to join in. “I’ll play for a while too.”
Yan Xi was taken aback. “You play Legend of Gods as well?”
Gu Yang had never played games before, not even in her original life.
She registered an account. “It looks pretty interesting watching you play. I’ll give it a try.”
In the past, when she saw her Big Shot Sister and Gu Pei dominating their opponents with lightning speed, she was in awe. Their matches were almost always victories, and it was visually exhausting to keep up.
Now, seeing Yan Xi’s more relaxed and chaotic style of play piqued her interest.
Yan Xi suddenly felt guilty, as if she had led a good girl astray by bringing her to an internet cafe to play games.
She tried to downplay it. “Actually, it’s not that fun. It’s quite difficult. Look at me, I keep losing.”
Gu Yang, borrowing a phrase from her Big Shot Sister, replied, “That’s because you’re a noob.”
Yan Xi: “…”
When her teammates called her a noob, she usually fired back immediately. But this was the daughter of her future superior, known for doting on his child, so she held back.
Besides, Gu Yang was a straight-A student with strong learning abilities. If she retorted, “You’re the noob,” she might immediately get proven wrong.
After Gu Yang registered her account, she eagerly started the game.
The characters in the game were all legendary figures from Chinese mythology.
Gu Yang chose the most beautiful one, Flower Fairy. The special effects were stunning: wherever she went, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and colorful butterflies fluttered around her.
Yan Xi exclaimed, “Don’t…”
Gu Yang maneuvered her character towards the enemy’s divine tower and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Yan Xi watched in dismay as Gu Yang’s actions led to Flower Fairy’s demise.
The death animation was indeed visually captivating.
Gu Yang furrowed her brows. “There was no one there just now. Why did I die?”
“You get attacked if you enter the enemy’s divine tower. Flower Fairy, true to its name, is more ornamental than functional.”
“Its attack power and defense are quite weak.”
“However, rumor has it that this character has a rare chance to trigger a luck bonus, although very few players choose Flower Fairy and even fewer manage to trigger the bonus.”
“Whenever someone does trigger Flower Fairy’s luck bonus, it causes quite a stir on the Legend of Gods forum.”
Yan Xi never imagined that one day she would be teaching gaming basics to someone who had aced the college entrance exams. It made her feel a bit proud.
Gu Yang, on the other hand, was now resurrected and cautiously ventured forth to engage in combat.
But soon after, she died again—not at the hands of other players, but by the NPCs along the road.
Yan Xi tried to console her, “You’re just not familiar with the game yet. Once you get the hang of it, you won’t die so often.”
Gu Yang nodded, finding her words reassuring.
She messaged Feng Jue: [Ah Jue, Yan Xi and I have finished discussing our collaboration. We’re still gaming. Want to join us?]
Feng Jue replied: [Sister, have fun. I’ll wait in the car.]
Gu Yang was surprised by Feng Jue’s unusual refusal, but she didn’t dwell on it. She simply wanted him to know not to wait outside the internet cafe.
