It features a virtual currency which users can earn through activities such as karaoke or creating tutorial videos and then convert it to real cash. It originally targeted gamers before broadening its targeted audience to include video streaming and chat features for uses such as concerts, sports and fashion. Users exchange “virtual roses” as a kind of currency, with top users said to earn as much as $20,000 per month.
To those read this in raw using google translate: I will be honest, I don’t like to deal with misconception. I have a case of someone reading this with google translate and started to argue with me that this story has XX scene. And I’m like “=.=”, yeah it does have XX scene but it’s not freaking NC-17; it’s like child play PG-16 in my opinion. And it took me a long time to explain it to her and even had to argue with her in my inbox, which I’m super irritated. And she even said to other readers that my rating is wrong and there is a lot of XX scenes in this story, when in truth it is not! T.T So if you read this using google translate, I prefer you keep it to yourself. Why? I don’t want to have to correct everyone’s understanding. And receive questions like: Why this person said this and this happens in the story, why your translation does not show that? *dies* Like seriously, should I go and explain everything to everyone now? LOL so please if you don’t know Chinese and you read this in google translate, please keep it to yourself. Don’t give out false spoiler. It’s annoying that I have to clean up your mess. T.T And I don’t think I should even do that when I’m the translator though. I might offend some people, but I’m just being really honest with everyone here. Everyone who has been my readers from a year ago, you all know that I’m a very honest person. And I always pinpoin the problem right on, not that I want to start an argument, I just want to correct something I think is not right. So if you don’t like the way I’m dealing with things now, then I have nothing else to say.
Wu Han Ying’s laptop configuration was not that great, so it was a bit slow logging into the game; while he was waiting, Jiang Tan had already logged in.
On the game interface, Xiao Wu. was standing in Da Li. Wu Han Ying felt uneasy in his heart so he did not dare to open the guild channel. He first opened the friend list tab, Love You 59 Seconds’ name was actually lit up.
At this moment, Wu Han Ying looked up and quickly clicked on Jiang Tan’s account and sent over a team invitation, but the other person was already in a team…he hurriedly sent over a request to join the team, in less than two seconds he was accepted.
{Team}[San Shui Gong]: Xiao Wu., to Suzhou; we’re doing Tricyclic
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Ok
Wu Han Ying felt an inexplicable relief after looking at the avatars in the team tab on the left, everyone is over level 80; his level is lower than two other people and it looked like they want to do F5 {level 82~91}. He was currently at a level 78, barely made it.
When he reached Suzhou at the transition screen, he noticed the team added two more people. Wu Han Ying did not pay much attention to it since the lagging was so bad and he stood at the same place for a long time. While that was going on he boringly turned over to the chat box and found that it was filled with a bunch of game tips and nearby messages, nothing else.
He did not know if he should feel lucky or not that Love You 59 Seconds was not looking for him. Or it should be so…
{Team}[San Shui Gong]: Xiao Wu, hurry up
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Coming!
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Lagging
Xiao Wu. typed in those lines and quickly ran over to the NPC to receive the quest, the lagging was so bad that it kept returning him back to the beginning pace several times. Finally he arrived after much difficulty.
Wu Han Ying was about to click on the NPC to receive the quest, when his hand began to shake and he missed his target.
“Xiao Wu, what is taking you so long? Hurry up, don’t you see the team is shouting in anger.” Jiang Tan turned his head and saw he was dawdling, and started to clamor.
“Why did you add Love You 59 Seconds into the team?” Wu Han Ying was hesitant but he still clicked on the NPC for the quest.
Jiang Tan was a bit confused, “He requested to join the team so I accepted it, we’re doing F5 and Love You 59 Seconds is at level 90; he is just at the right level.”
At a very right level…Wu Han Ying did not say anything, he could feel his heart almost jump out of his chest. Love You 59 Seconds wearing fashionable clothing was standing next to the NPC, to be more accurate he was actually standing right next to Xiao Wu..
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Go in
Wu Han Ying did not get to say anything before Love You 59 Seconds sent out a team message, everyone was immediately transported into the dungeon.
Facing the transition scene on the screen, Wu Han Ying fell into a daze; he waited until the region map appeared on the screen and found that he was all alone. Must be that his lagging was too terrible and the others had gone ahead to fight off the monsters.
Xiao Wu. was about to move, when he heard a skill effect sound right next to him; Love You 59 Seconds was standing next to him and threw over a “Magical Spirit” skill; after he was finished he drew his sword and ran over to help the others.
Magical Spirit: Infuse raid members with intelligence
{Team}[San Shui Gong]: 222
San Shui Gong was a Mingjiao, when Xiao Wu first played the game he was at level 89; after so many days he was still at level 89…but it was said that level 89 is like a pitching hell, it was more difficult to level up at that level. When he thought about it, Love You 59 Seconds was still at level 90 and had not leveled up…
The bubble of “222” popped up twice over San Shui Gong’s head, and then he continued to lure the monsters. Wu Han Ying was quite puzzled. What does ‘222’ mean? Although he had done this Tricyclic a few times, he had never heard of such a code. The other people in the team just replied “ok” and then said nothing else.
{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: After finishing this go back to receive the quest for it again, then head over and fight two rounds of Xiong Ye {bear}. Later come back to do Ge Rong…
Wu Han Ying did not have time to ask Jiang Tn when he heard a “ding” sound from his laptop, it was a whisper message from Love You 59 Seconds. Seeing a message from him was enough to cause his palms to sweat.
{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: Oh
{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: Stand back a bit
{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: Ok
The Emei class tends to become the monsters’ target because after they throw over one skill to rebuff blood, it is always enough to provoke a group of monster to glomp at him. Xiao Wu. stepped back a step and continued to buff up the blood. Sweeping this dungeon with high level accounts was so much better than doing F1 {level 42~51}, mainly because people don’t have to say much since everyone already knows the rules of the dungeon; moreover, the high level accounts have really high damage, so it was much easier to finish than F1.
“Jiang Tan, are you really a Mingjiao? Why aren’t you helping me kill those monsters?”
“I’m a Mingjiao, but you obviously don’t need me; Love You 59 Seconds is right next to you. I ran over twice, but each time I turned the monsters around you had already been killed.”
Wu Han Ying choked on his own words, in fact what Jiang Tan said was true. Although Love You 59 Seconds stayed a short distance away from Xiao Wu., the moment the monsters started to swamp him the other would be the first to come to his aid.
Doing Tricyclic with high level accounts sure was easy, sometimes they would need Xiao Wu. to buff up their blood, during the activity Xiao Wu. really did not have to attack the monsters. A bunch of people were surrounding the monsters and instantly charged forward and threw over a bunch of skills; soon enough they finished killing off the monsters.
Two rounds of Tricyclic for Xiao Wu. was very relaxing. While he was doing this Tricyclic he couldn’t help recalling back to before when he randomly gathered a team to sweep F1 level for Tricyclic; at the time it was very miserable. In each ring of the dungeon at least one person heroically died. At first he was angry at himself for being an EM, but later on he just turned numb! He really could not buff up their blood and they really could not blame him, for each of them was like a member from a death squad or something as they kept on charging forward not giving up until they died…Moreover, he would encounter all kinds of crazy stupid things, such as when the 123 {I explained this in chapter 25 ^^} was supposed to head over to the bridge and he turned to take a look around and found that he was the only one there, no one was coming! When they were to face with the Bear, the BOSS split into two! There were two Bears ah, they were struggling with just one bear, in the end there were only two people left in the team so they just left the dungeon…
Even though they finished 222 for Tricyclic in a relatively short amount of time, they wouldn’t have enough time to do another round.
{Whisper}[Love You 59 Seconds] said to you: Retreat from the team and head out
{Whisper}you said to [Love You 59 Seconds]: …Oh
Wu Han Ying was dawdling, but said “88” in the team chat and retreated; right after he left he received the team invitation from Love You 59 Seconds. He moved his mouse a few times before he finally clicked accept…
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Are you going to log into Xiao Wu’s account tonight?
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: No…
Xia Chen looked at Xiao Wu.’s answer on the screen, which made him want to laugh. Why did it sound like the other kid was being bullied, his way of speaking was a bit too soft-spoken.
He had waited the whole night and kept thinking that Xiao Wu would not log on, finally at around 10 o’clock he saw Xiao Wu.’s name light up. He sent over the team invitation, but found the other person was already in a team. His only option was to accompany the other for two rounds of Tricyclic.
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Just now when you were not on, Qi Yue Wei sent over a private chat message
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: What does it say?
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: You read it
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Do you have YY? Go on it, I want to explain the situation to you
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Explain what
Xia Chen smiled silently, why did it feel like the other person was being awkward. He looked at the table and realized it was filled with cigarette ash, he readily collected the ashes and threw them away in a very good mood. After he logged into Xiao Wu’s account in the evening, he happened to read Qi Yue Wei’s message and his mood became so much better.
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: The wife forces a divorce, this husband must give an explanation
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: !!!
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Shoo, it’s almost light out; I need to log out
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Then give me your phone number, I’ll call you
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: YY is updating…
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Ok, I’ll wait
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: No mic(rophone)!
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Ok, no mic is ok; just listen to me
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Then wait!
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Um, I’m waiting
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Of course I’ll wait, I’m waiting to marry Xiao Wu once more
Wu Han Ying almost choked to death on his saliva, he coughed for a long time before he could catch his breath again; his fingers were trembling in anger. He did not know what type of a response to give, so in the end he simply removed his hands from the keyboard and decided to not pay attention to Love You 59 Seconds, just let him wait. His YY had not been updated for a long time, which means it would take a long time to finish updating. Who cares just let him wait!
Xiao Wu. did not type anything in the team chat and Love You 59 Seconds did not send a message either; the two people were just standing motionless in front of the “Pao Pao” NPC.
The connection was very slow, Wu Han Ying at first composedly thought of letting Love You 59 Seconds wait for a long time and so on, because the guy was…but then he thought about it and felt that it wasn’t right of him to do that, == why did he sound so much like a little wifey waiting for her husband to explain the misunderstanding…
When he looked at the time it was almost 11 o’clock, Wu Han Ying was a bit anxious. Once again he started to perform the electricity congestion again in his dorm room, this led the game to once again disconnect.
YY took a long time to update and by the time it finished it was already 1 o’clock in the morning. Wu Han Ying plugged in his headphones and sat holding onto the microphone hesitating for a long while. He mumbled for a moment while he was hesitating whether to plug the microphone in, instead he threw the laptop onto his bed and crawled in as well to settle himself into a more comfortable position.
Once he had settled himself in he opened YY and then headed over to the chatroom number that Love You 59 Seconds had sent him.
Wu Han Ying got a bit shocked the moment he went into the room, he thought there was only Love You 59 Seconds here; he did not expect to see a long list of names in the room…which made him think he entered the wrong room.
Just as he was about to click exit he heard a low toned voice coming out from the headphones, which caused his heart to skip a beat. A green light already lit up next to Love You 59 Seconds’ name.
“Xiao Wu?”
Xiao Wu: It’s me
“Sao Zi!! You’re here!!”
“Sao Zi, Sao Zi, we want to hear you say something!”
“Sao Zi, you’ve finally come; Lao Da was going crazy the whole day.”
“Yo, finally I get to see Sao Zi.”
Wu Han Ying was shocked at the enthusiasm of the people in the chatroom, it felt like he fell into a frog pit…his face turned gloomy. Certainly those people were from the guild, but he did not know who was who.
“Xiao Wu, come to the next room.” As Love You 59 Seconds finished that sentence and dragged Wu Han Ying over to another room. The world finally restored its peace again.
Wu Han Ying did not know why he felt very tense…he sat on the bed with his laptop sitting in his lap. He opened his mouth, but thankfully realized that he did not plug in the microphone. Love You 59 Seconds did not say anything for a long moment, he was surprisingly quiet.
Xiao Wu: Say something…
“Xiao Wu.”
Love You 59 Seconds’ voice was very soft, but he could hear it clearly; it gave him an image of a very gentle person. Wu Han Ying’s heart made a thump, his headphones were a cheap product and the sound was not that good, sometimes the sound seemed very fuzzy. He had to say though, that the other person’s voice was very pleasant to the ears and somehow very attractive.
Xiao Wu: I’m listening
“Hm.” Love You 59 Seconds’ faint nasal voice came through, then he unhurriedly said, “Today I read Qi Yue Wei’s private messages to you. She told you to divorce me?”
Xiao Wu: ……
Wu Han Ying felt somewhat uneasy and did not know how to reply; formerly, in the game they communicated through typing. Occasionally he would be teased by Love You 59 Seconds, being called “wifey” here and there. He even said to get married and the like, but all that time he did not feel that awkward, after all everything was just texts. Now Love You 59 Seconds’ voice was right next to his ears and it somewhat made him feel dizzy, the other said in a very calm tone…
“She said she is my fiancee?”
You still ask even when you know…Wu Han Ying rolled his eyes, since he could not speak he had been scolding Love You 59 Seconds several times in his head.
“I’ve never acknowledged her.”
Wu Han Ying blinked and continued to sit and wait since there was no sound coming out from the other side; he waited for a long time but still no sound could be heard. He started to wonder if the other person was teasing me.
Xiao Wu: Hurry up, I want to go to sleep!
A low nasal tone hummed a laugh, Love You 59 Seconds saw Xiao Wu’s dialogue and continued, “I’ve left home for a year now, it’s also due to this reason.”
“My family decided on it, they are very old-fashioned; you can say it’s an arranged marriage…”
“Aiyo, I was wondering what sneaky thing you two were doing in this dark room; it turns out that Lao Da was explaining the matter to Sao Zi.”
Wu Han Ying was listening as Love You 59 Seconds was explaining the situation, but with the sudden interruption of the other voice, he got scared and jumped a bit. One more person had entered the room, he looked and saw the name was “Xiao Jun”.
“How did you get in.” Love You 59 Seconds asked cooly.
“I am only trespassing, you two can continue. Ah wait, I forgot to introduce myself; hi Sao Zi, I’m Qian Qian Junzi.” Jun Zhe said laughing. After he said his greeting, he stayed to listen in on the conversation.
Xiao Wu: Hello…
Wu Han Ying was speechless and for a moment the room fell into a deep silence, not even a sound was heard.
“Hahaha.” Jun Zhe gave out a dry laugh then said, “I’m afraid that Lao Da is not very good at expressing his thoughts, so I’m here to help him out. If you were to mess things up with Sao Zi, it wouldn’t be good; so I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
“You brat, get out of here now.”
Xiao Wu: -_-
“I can’t go out, Xiao Yan told me to come in here to report the progress. If I go out now, I will have nothing to tell him.” Jun Zhe persistently reasoned as he continued, “Sao Zi, let me say it to you. Qi Yue Wei is not Lao Da’s fiancee, don’t listen to her nonsense. That woman chases after Lao Da for the good of her family’s company. Lao Da left home for you, really the pitiful ones are us working people; the leader was gone so no one protected us. Everyday we’re being enslaved by others. Sao Zi, aren’t you moved!”
Xiao Wu: ==
More than a year you said…Wu Han Ying felt utterly , more than a year ago he did not know Love You 59 Seconds ah.
“You’ve played enough now get out, you’re afraid the world won’t be in chaos ah.” Love You 59 Seconds said in a calm voice.
“Alright, alright, my task here is done. Sao Zi please don’t get angry. I’m heading out now and please remember that we’re waiting outside; Sao Zi, later we’ll make Lao Da sing a song for you.” Jun Zhe said in a hurry, “Lao Da’s singing is always out of tune!”
After saying that, he didn’t wait for the two people in the room to respond and quickly got away…
“Xiao Jun was exaggerating it a bit. It’s true that I left home a year ago to live on my own and I haven’t returned once. So the matter with Qi Yue Wei…well, let’s say that we’re even?”
“Xiao Wu? Are you still angry?”
Wu Han Ying really did not know what to say. He shrank back his neck because the voice coming from the headphones was very gentle, like the other person was whispering in his ears; it made him quickly adapt to its gentleness as his heart skipped a beat, it really was a very strange feeling…
