After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player - CH 28
In the evening when Ling Mo came back, he saw Xia Xinyan sitting on the sofa watching TV.
However, although the program was playing, her eyes seemed to be completely unfocused, as if she was looking at a farther place through the TV.
In layman’s terms, in a daze.
The face that made his heart beat faster seemed a bit lonely.
This made Ling Mo pause for a moment.
Does she… Feel bored alone?
Could it be waiting for him to come back?
He suddenly felt a little stupid.
Since she regarded himself as her boyfriend, when she asked him what his plans were she probably wanted him to take the initiative to invite her to go with him, right?
Why didn’t he think of this before…
Stupid.
——This is the first time he evaluates himself like this.
Coincidentally, it coincides with Xia Xinyan’s thoughts.
But this time was only a misunderstanding, Xia Xinyan was just thinking about the issue of supernatural powers, so it was hard to explain.
It’s difficult for her to accept that the ability that has helped her the most and improved combat the best is the succubus rather than the beast.
Is she going to use succubus as the main ability in the future?
Thinking of the future…
——”Let’s get to know each other, what kind of power are you?”
——”Succubus.”
——”Succubus? Is it the kind that squeezes [beep——]?”
No, she can’t take it.
Sure enough, people can’t leave their luck after death. Even if you have died once, as long as you can be reborn the world will still give you a lot of problems sooner of later.1
Shitty fate.2
It wasn’t until Ling Mo’s voice sounded beside her that she pulled her wandering thoughts back.
“Are… Are you hungry?”
It was getting dark outside, but the dining table and kitchen were still very clean, and it seemed that no dinner had been cooked.
Hearing this, Xia Xinyan tilted her head slightly to look at him, and pursed her lips.
She didn’t know if being jealous of this guy is being jealous of herself.
But this appearance is full of grievances in Ling Mo’s eyes, poking his heart directly.
“I’m sorry.”
“… Why do you have to apologize?”
Xia Xin paused.
Did he see through her thoughts?
How obvious is she?
“I…”
Ling Mo originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, those things seemed to be a little hard to talk about, and it would embarrass the two of them to say it out loud. After a moment of hesitation he changed the subject.
“I’ll make dinner.”
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Xia Xinyan stared at his back for a few seconds, then pouted.
It’s pretty self-conscious.
But when she thought that she might have to rely on this guy in a frontal battle in the future, she felt inexplicably upset.
She doesn’t plan to expose her succubus attributes too early, but before the animal transformation ability grows, she has no other choice at all.
Hmm… She was indeed wronged.
At any rate, before she was independent, but now she has been reduced to a weak person, no one would be able to accept this change.
Fortunately, after training in her previous life her mentality became very good. Even if she has complaints she will only keep them in her mind and rarely show them on her own initiative, especially this kind of problem that will affect the relationship.
And from another perspective, Ling Mo didn’t do anything wrong.
Perhaps this is what makes Xia Xinyan most depressed—— she can’t find anyone to take the blame for, and as for the Frog… that guy has no body, so she can’t put the blame on it.
【When the strength of the host increases to a certain level, the external link form of this system can be unlocked to help the host fight. At that time, the system can have an extended body.】
【However, it is not recommended that the host have such bad thoughts about this system, violent girls will not be liked.】
“…”
Xia Xinyan was silent for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen.
What was going on in her mind, this time even the Frog couldn’t find out.
During the dinner, the atmosphere between the two of them improved a bit, mainly because Xia Xinyan basically came out of the previous frustration and started chatting with Ling Mo about today’s topic, his club.
Ling Mo joined an e-sports club when he was in college. To put it bluntly, it is a gathering place for a group of game lovers. He has also participated in some e-sports competitions in the same city and won several awards. As an in-depth gamer himself, Ling Mo is very active in the club, so he will basically attend the occasional dinner parties held by the club.
There are quite a few friends who have a good relationship with him in the club. After the 《The God’s Realm》 game cabin was fully rolled out they also collectively transferred to the game. Some of them are for making money, and some are for early testers, but no matter what the purpose is , when a group of friends entered a dungeon, it did give Ling Mo a lot of convenience when the individual strength was insufficient in the early stage.
So in this life, Xia Xinyan also wants to help the group of friends in the club, let them play games earlier, maybe this can change their fate.
Although those people are no longer her friends.
Xia Xinyan was so interested in his affairs, which made Ling Mo very happy, and he was also willing to share some interesting stories in the club with her, but when they were chatting happily, he suddenly heard her mention the gift of the club game cabin, making a stupid face.
“You… Want to give the club game cabins?”
For a while, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Xia Xinyan smiled and nodded.
“Well, your friends should also be very interested in this game, right? I still have a batch of game pods that arrived first at home, but there’s no one to play, so I just want to give it away. Forget it, it’s all free anyway.”
“Ah, this is… Pretty good?”
Ling Mo hesitated.
He knows that although the game cabin is said to be free, it is not easy to get the first few batches. You have to pay money or have some network. There are scalpers on the market who have sold the game cabin to hundreds of thousands of dollars, not even saying that the original price is already expensive.
Students like them can basically only wait for the next batch of free game pods.
He didn’t expect Xia Xinyan to give them a batch so generously.
This should… Also cost a lot of money, right?
“It’s okay.”
Xia Xinyan got up, sat down beside him, leaning on him lightly and softly said.
“Your friends are my friends, isn’t it normal to share fun with friends? Actually, I also thought about joining the e-sports club before, but I was delayed by a lot of things until now… Just right, can you recommend me to join the club now?”
Ling Mo was dumbfounded.
“I… Ah… I…”
He was fatally hit again.
Could it be that she chose to actively join his social circle because of him?
This might be something he never thought about before.
It may not be a good thing for a girlfriend to invade one’s life too much, but for a straight man like Ling Mo there are only a few things that can directly pierce his heart—— allowing himself to be understood more by his girlfriend, no matter which aspect it is, as long as there is something he can show he will be excited.
Like games.
It’s also thanks to the fact that Xia Xinyan didn’t approach him because of his appearance, otherwise he would have really been persuaded by his brothers.3
And when a thing is too beautiful, people can’t help but worry about whether the dream will be broken.
Especially someone experiencing this beauty for the first time.
Perhaps at this moment, Ling Mo really fell in love with her.
“Okay, I will recommend you to join the club tomorrow, they will definitely welcome you very much, and then we can go to a dungeon together.”
“Okay.”
TL notes
1. No idea what’s the original meaning, directly translates to “Sure enough, people can’t let go of everything while they are alive. Even if you have died once before, as long as you can be pulled back, the world will give you a lot of stomach pain stuff sooner or later.”
2. Originally says dogs fate, same meaning.
3. pretty obvious, the brothers mean his friends. The bros, if you will.
By far one the worst chapters to translates, almost every paragraph i had to change it or re-read multiple times to know what exactly was the author intentions. There’s probably some grammar mistakes, translated this while feeling really sleepy, tomorrow i’ll proofread it again.
As always, any mistakes just tell me and i hope you had fun~
