After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player - CH 20

Trust Me, Just Once

“Then don’t play the war zone from now on, just play the safe zone.”

Ling Mo said immediately.

“I feel that there’s something wrong with the game designer. It’s just a game, there’s no reason for people to play with 70% pain.”

“Yeah, it’s not for people to play with at all…”

Xia Xin repeated inexplicably, and then whispered.

“Because it’s not for people to play with in the first place…”

Hearing this, Ling Mo paused.

“What do you mean?”

Xia Xinyan was silent for a moment, then smiled apologetically.

“I can’t tell you the reason yet, but i can say that the war zone is the essence of this game, and more and more people will enter to play. It is related to a very important thing in the future, if you don’t want to fall behind you can only improve your strength through the war zone.”

Ling Mo frowned slightly, as if he didn’t believe it.

“What are you talking about? Isn’t this just a game?”

“It’s not just a game…”

Xia Xinyan said meaningfully, paused for a few seconds, then continued.

“This game will have a great impact on the world in the future, so… Let’s continue to play war zone together from now on, okay?”

Ling Mo’s expression was a little weird.

“It’s not just a game?”

This inexplicable explanation was beyond his comprehension.

However, his strong brain power still made him think of dozens of possibilities in an instant—— all are sci-fi scenes that only appear in novels and movies.

Could it be that this game… Is actually a training test used by the military to select special forces?

Then why did Xia Xinyan play this game?

And… She suddenly took a interest in him, could it be related to this game?

Does that mean she doesn’t really like him?

While having crazy thoughts, Xia Xinyan suddenly took his hand. He didn’t know when she had already walked in front of him and raised her head slightly, looking at him with pleading eyes.

“Believe me, i really like you, and i also have confidence that you can become a strong player in this game. It doesn’t matter if it’s selfish, can you… Continue to play with me?”

Ling Mo frowned, thinking for a moment, and then said with steel in his voice.

“Because this is very confidential information? So you can’t tell me? Then why do you like me?”

After revealing the truth, it was difficult for him to be as innocent as before.

After all, he doesn’t know what kind of situation he’s in, this kind of circumstance can easily make people suspicious.

They say nothing comes for free…1

——Xia Xinyan suddenly stepped forward and hugged him by the waist.

“Soon you will know the truth, not yet. But you can trust me, i will definitely be by your side and will not betray you.”

Ling Mo couldn’t help but hesitate a little.

“Don’t be like this, i just think…”

However, before he finished speaking, Xia Xinyan suddenly stood on tiptoes, put her arms around his neck and blocked his lips.

The room fell into a deadly silence.

After a long time, Xia Xinyan let Ling Mo go slowly, then looked at him who was dumbfounded and smiled.

“Trust me, just once, just one time okay?”

Ling Mo stopped thinking.

“Ah… ah…”

He… Just… Just… Kissed…

Is he dreaming?

Really… Kissed?

Rather, hasn’t she who kissed him?

Moreover, he heard that the young lady Xia has never had a boyfriend, not even a male friend, so… He… Got Xia Xinyan’s first kiss?

First…

Kiss…

“Okay, i’ll trust you once.”

Suppressing the acceleration in his chest he tried to calm down.

“I don’t know why you took a interest in me, but if i find that something is wrong i will leave.”

“Okay.”

Xia Xinyan hugged him excitedly again, and said with a light smile.

“I won’t let you down.”

How could she let him down? Then wouldn’t her big investment just now be in vain?

Tsk.

In her last life and this one, until that moment just now she never thought that her first kiss would be handed over in this way.

Not at all.

But if she didn’t do this she really couldn’t find a way to make Ling Mo stop thinking.

Because she noticed that she really couldn’t find a excuse to continuing playing war zone after experiencing 70% of the pain.

As for the previous life, there was no young lady Xia, the system was still stuck with a bug at the beginning and no one could tell her what the future would be like. She played this game at the start to try something new, but later, after seeing the examples of those big shots making a lot of money in the game it also made her tempted, and then she started playing in the war zone.

In fact, after the strength is improved, the possibility of injury gets lower and lower. In most cases, the dungeon will either be cleared with almost no injuries or it’ll be instantly killed.

But now, except for her, no one knows this.

And the current Ling Mo also lost the reason to enter the war zone—— to make money? As long as he can be close to the young lady, will he still be short of money in the future?

So in this way, continuing to play war zone is tantamount to self-abuse.

Of course, she can also give up Ling Mo, let him develop on his own and follow the old path of his previous life, but in this case, the system didn’t need to bring her back—— Although this is not her voluntary choice, she has no reason to waste such a chance to be reborn.

Therefore, if she wanted Ling Mo to continue playing with her in the war zone, she had to use other excuse.

She had considered a lot in the dungeon before, but in the end she used this reason. In a sense, she was not lying to Ling Mo. After all, a lie needs tens of thousands of lies to make up for it. She can’t guarantee that if she solves the current problem by lying Ling Mo will trust her if the truth is revealed someday.

In her previous life, she had been betrayed and deceived by others, and she knew how to deal with those people very well. She knew her temper, so she naturally didn’t want to be treated like this by him one day.

It would be better to just tell the truth.

But it’s impossible for her to tell the whole story now, so being a riddle is a good choice. As for whether Ling Mo will continue to doubt… If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t give her first kiss.

However, the problem was temporarily solved, but she felt that she was at a loss——

In her previous life, she had never experienced the feeling of kissing a girl, but in this life, Ling Mo did.

Fuck.2

Although she did it herself she was inexplicably upset.

And the most important thing is that after all this his trust is only temporarily gained. After that, it will take time to increase it so that he can completely believe in her and accept herself.

No rush, take your time.

Anyway, with such a big investment today, she still doesn’t believe that she can’t catch Ling Mo.

TL notes

1. Originally it says “there is no free stuff in the sky.” (他就说天上没有免费的馅). It could be the saying “pie in the sky” but i don’t think it fits to well.

2. The author says “Blood loss/anemia” that basically means throwing up blood from being angry, like in those cultivation novels. “Fuck” seems like a good choice of expression.

Jesus Christ, this chapter had way too much butchered paragraphs that i had to rewrite to be readable

, finished it today though.

Can’t promise that i will translate tomorrow, my schedule will be packed. As always, any erros warn me, hope it was readable and you had fun, catch ya later!
