[Online Gaming] Love You 59 Seconds - Chapter 54
Proofreader: Jesse
Xiao Wu. walked around Suzhou for a while and carefully studied each stall in the city. When he was finished he headed over to Luoyang to go to the Nine Chamber of Commerce to look through a few things. Only now he remembered Love You 59 Seconds has a shop here, so he decided sort out the shop while he was at it.
When he looked at the time again, an hour and half had already passed by, but Love You 59 Seconds’ name was still gray in color.
Wu Han Ying was feeling super bored, so he searched through the Nine Chamber of Commerce again. Da Suan and Xiao Xiao Xiao were very persistent, even though they had been killed and sent back to Hell several times.
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Hahaha (Laughing Expression)
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: I killed 2!
{Team}[222]: ++++
{Team}[222]: I’m about to die+++
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: You two should head back to the city…
Wu Han Ying looked at the team chat and did not know what expression to make. The three of them were standing idle in Xue Yuan, got killed and sent to Hell. When they got the city, they had been followed by others.
Even though Xiao Wu. was already at level 90, he was not the one training this account, so he was not familiar with all the skills. Needless to say, his techniques were not that great, so he was the first to be sent back to Hell. Then Da Suan and Xiao Xiao Xiao also accompanied him. The other party has a lot of people, there really was no way to win against them.
He helplessly went to drink the soup and headed back to Luoyang to buff up his blood. Wu Han Ying felt extremely mortified when he realized that he has now fallen into a situation where everyone despises him; he only moved two steps forward and noticed he was being followed by someone…therefore, he did not even think about leaving the city…
Da Suan and Xiao Xiao Xiao were a bit more hot tempered than he was, right after they filled up their blood, they immediately rushed to Yan Nan to take their revenge…but one can guess that between the two of them: one does not have good technique and one is a low level account, of course they got killed and sent back to Hell…
Therefore…they got killed and came back, came back and got killed…an infinite cycle…
Wu Han Ying had thought of asking someone for help, but it was in the afternoon and no one was on in the guild, Love You 59 Seconds, Qian Qian Junzi, and the others had been missing all at once…If he were to go out to help, it would only burden them…
{Team}[222]: Heck, I don’t care if my equipment gets dropped!
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: (^o^)/~In fact, it’s profiting us
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Each time we pull 2 or 3 people as our cushion, we’re earning quite a profit~
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Sao Zi, how is it on your side
Wu Han Ying turned his viewing angle to look at the two people next to him after getting asked, he had to say they had a lot of patience since they have been following him for more than an hour and half…
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Still being followed
{Team}[222]:
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Actually, I don’t feel bothered by it…
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Sao Zi, you’re so kind hearted…
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: (Smiling Expression) as long as I’m not heading out of the city by myself, then I’ll be fine
{Team}[222]: stop talking, I died again!!
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: !(Angry Expression) NND {The fuck}, aren’t you also an EM {Emei}, don’t you know how to buff for your own +++
{Team}[222]: ……
The two of them once again ran back to Luoyang to buff up their blood, Wu Han Ying looked at the team chat conversation; line after line jumped out, they were arguing again.
Speaking of which, he felt bad for the two people following him, it had been over an hour and half but they still did not dare to move their eyes away, it was a torturing chore. It looked like they weren’t going to be able to catch him outside the town today, it was such a waste of their time.
Usually Xiao Wu. usually went out of town just to collect herbs, mine some, and maybe some fishing; if he could not go out, then he would was not going to go out. It’s not like he is losing anything…
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Do you want to do Pao Pao?
Seeing that the two of them kept on dying then reviving, Wu Han Ying decided to suggest something else to do. It was useless to be so reckless, it was better to wait for more people in the guild to log on.
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: …Sao Zi, you’re motivated
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: You guys have been getting killed for an hour and 44 minutes…
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Do something else, just let them wait
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Hphm, I’m a bit exhausted, Da Suan, are you coming
{Team}[222]: …Take a look at our team! 80! 90! 110! Which level do we clear
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ……
{Team}[222]: Hurry Hurry!
{Team}[222]: I’m at Suzhou! Hurry
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: ……
This was Wu Han Ying’s first time using a high level account to go clear the dungeon, again the Tricyclic dungeon had left a deep traumatic impression on him. Before when he did the F1 and F2 dungeons, each time he went in with a random group, at least one player would die; it would be more difficult with less people. As he recalled his past attempts at the dungeon an extremely strange situation occurred.
Xiao Wu. was the second person to get to Suzhou. As he sat down on the ground waiting for Xiao Xiao Xiao, he noticed the team tab on the bottom of the screen flashing. He did not realize that Xiao Xiao Xiao had made him the leader until someone wanted to join the team.
It was a level 97 Tianshan, Wu Han Ying looked at the name. Actually he wanted to gather a full team to enter the dungeon, but…
They really take him for a fool…== obviously this account just killed them in the field earlier and now wanted to join their team, like a ghost…
Accepted.
Wu Han Ying clicked accept and the team tab on the upper left corner of the screen showed a new avatar had been added.
{Team}[222]: What the
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Tianshan hurry, get in
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Hurry Hurry!
{Whisper}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~] said to you: Sao Zi!!!
{Whisper}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~] said to you: Why did you add that Tianshan to the team!!
{Whisper}you said to [Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: XDD
Wu Han Ying opened the world map and saw the Tianshan running all the way from Luoyang to Suzhou and it showed he was about to get to their gathering place.
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Hurry Hurry
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Go in
Xiao Xiao Xiao was not able to send over a whisper message when the screen changed into the transmission page, a few seconds later they entered the dungeon map.
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: XDD so fun
{Team}[222]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: (Sweating Expression)
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: (Laughing Expression)
At the dungeon entrance there stood only three people, Xiao Xiao Xiao and Da Suan tacitly typed in the six dots. Of course there was no Tianshan in the team, right when Wu Han Ying typed in the words “go in”, he immediately kicked the other player off the team and then quickly entered the dungeon…that feeling of playing with other people was the best, he really did not care about how the Tianshan was feeling outside of the dungeon.
Xiao Wu. was laughing for a long time until the three of them started to clear the monsters, then they all stopped typing. When the three of them used Blessing Recovery, Wu Han Ying could not laugh anymore, but he was gasping in despair. They are all Emeis, this time no other sect but Emeis…this is a pure Emei team…
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: =.= Da Suan what are you doing, why are you using Blessing chant
{Team}[222]: Heck! Who was the one saying to buff my own blood!
The three of them, especially Du Suan with the lowest level, had their blood decreasing quite fast. Once they entered the dungeon, naturally they attracted a whole group of monsters, but they all chased after Da Suan as expected. Wu Han Ying looked at the team and saw his teammate’s blood bar decreased, so naturally he buffed up that teammate’s blood. There was one important piece of information he forgot about, it was the fact that they are all EM…
When Wu Han Ying decided to log out since it was already 10 o’clock and Love You 59 Seconds still had not logged in. The three of them did five rounds of Tricyclic, then killed the other players 7 times and finally went to the PK field. They did all of this without coming out of the city. All the while, one can imagine that the three of them were being greeted by a bunch of people on the world channel and speaker…
But Wu Han Ying did not care, he didn’t even say anything on the world channel. After Xiao Xiao Xiao and Da Suan cursed replies to the others on the world channel, they started to quarrel with each other; they were too indulged in their argument that they completely forgot to cuss back on the world channel after the three minutes passed…
Thinking about the moment Xiao Xiao Xiao typed in a bunch of sweating expression.
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Sao Zi, you have such a good temper…
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: How so
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: They cursed at you, but you didn’t curse back
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: I don’t know them, why bother to say anything
{Team}[222]: ……
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: So truth is…those people are nothing in Sao Zi’s eyes…
The next day Wu Han Ying woke up very early, perhaps it was because it was his first time getting interviewed at such a well-known company; therefore, he could not sleep much last night. After he got out of bed, he took his time with washing up, then put on his suit; only after he was finished did he realize that he still had a lot of time to spare. He sat in his room until it was 8:30, then he nervously went downstairs.
Xia Chen came early, at around 8:45 he had arrived at Wu Han Ying’s apartment complex; he was thinking that he might have to wait for another fifteen minutes, but to his surprise he saw a shadow running over to his car.
The weather was very cold outside, Wu Han Ying had been pacing around for fifteen minutes in his suit, he almost got frozen into a popsicle. So he was overjoyed when he saw Xia Chen’s car coming and without wasting any time quickly ran over and climbed into the car.
“So early, I thought I would get here first.” Xia Chen turned up the heater in his car a bit.
Wu Han Ying only smiled, he really could not say that he was too nervous to get any sleep, “Professor Xia personally sends me to my interview, it’s not good if I’m late.”
Xia Chen pointed at the box next to him, “Your breakfast is inside.”
Wu Han Ying froze for a moment, then opened the box; inside was a cup of hot soy milk and a sesame biscuit with fried eggs wrapped in a plastic bag. It didn’t look like it was bought from a store.
Sesame biscuit
“Is it still hot? It can be used to warm up your hands.” Xia Chen said as he touched the cup with the back of his hand and felt satisfied that the cup was still hot. Since he lives by himself he didn’t have any of the insulated food bags, he knew because he ended up searching all around his house this morning but couldn’t find any; so in the end he had to make due and put it in a box.
“I don’t eat biscuits too often, they need too much oil and it’s not healthy.” Xia Chen saw that the boy just stared blankly and thought that he did not like the food, so he made that comment while driving.
“Professor Xia, you made these?” Wu Han Ying held up the food and felt completely dazed for a long period with his eyes wide open staring at the other man.
Xia Chen did not say anything and just nodded his head. Wu Han Ying also remained silent. Although he woke up very early this morning, he was so busy getting ready that he forgot to eat breakfast; he did not think there was someone who still cared for his well being.
Wu Han Ying took a bite from the sesame biscuit, the taste is very good; it felt like he was going to drool even though he is chewing on it. The feeling was the same as the fried doughcake and sweet tofu yesterday morning, it made people feel touched and nostalgic.
“Professor Xia, have you eaten yet?” asked Wu Han Ying as he chomped away on the biscuit, his heart felt a bit strange, yet he did not know the reason why. Suddenly, he remembered Xia Chen was still next to him and felt a bit ashamed. The other person came early, made breakfast for him and now gave him a ride to his interview; yet here he sat and ignorantly kept on eating, it was a bit…
“I’ll eat after I drive you there.”
“Then I’ll keep half of it for you.”
Wu Han Ying held the sesame biscuit in his hand. The biscuit had a fine shape and it wasn’t too big; after two bites or so, he already finished half of it.
Xia Chen turned his head and did not say anything, the traffic light turned red and he stopped the car. Suddenly he leaned over towards Wu Han Ying’s hand that was holding the biscuit and took a bite from it.
“You finish the rest.” Xia Chen still kept the facial expression of “it’s just a natural thing to do”.
Wu Han Ying was completely shocked this time, earlier the other man was very close to him when he leaned over. He got so close their foreheads were almost touching, some of the other man’s bangs brushed by his forehead and it felt a bit itchy. He rubbed his face completely embarrassed, it was a little hot all of the sudden.
“…Ah? Oh.” After a long moment, Wu Han Ying finally reacted and only replied with a short answer. He lowered his head to look at the biscuit in his hand and felt like the heating system in the car was a bit too high as his face suddenly steamed up uncomfortably.
Xia Chen curved his mouth into a smile and continued to drive. Needless to say, he was in a very good mood.
The interview place was not too far away, even though they met with a bit of traffic the thirty minutes they had was more than enough time to get there. Wu Han Ying sat in the car for about 15 minutes, he waited until it was a little past 9:30 and then readied himself to go upstairs for his interview.
Xia Chen watched as the boy went through the company door. After Wu Han Ying was safely inside he turned off the engine. Thinking about Wu Han Ying’s tense posture when heading in for his interview, he could not help but chuckle. He took out his phone and sent over a text message telling him not to be nervous.
Right after he sent over the message, his phone screen lit up displaying a call from Xiao Wu.
“Hello?” Xia Chen thought the other forgot something, so he tried to answer the call, but there was no reply from the other line. When he looked back at the screen of his phone, it showed a missed call…
“Xiao Wu?” Xia Chen called back, the other line quickly picked up, “What’s happened?”
“Uh, I was trying to reply to your text…but pressed the wrong button…”
“Don’t be nervous, I’m waiting for you downstairs. Come down when you’re done.” Xia Chen silently smiled at the fact that the boy pressed the wrong key due to his nervousness.
“Um…I’m going in now.”
Wu Han Ying had wanted to say that he didn’t need to wait for him, that he can go home by himself. Instead, he said “Uh” as a reply back to the other.
Xia Chen hung up the call and heard someone knock on his window twice.
“Lao Da? Why did you come here?” asked Jun Zhe. When he parked his car he noticed that the black car next to him looked quite familiar and the one talking on the phone in the car was even more familiar. He immediately got out of the car and since he wasn’t too anxious to go upstairs, he decided to knock on the other man’s car window. He thought it was more important to interrogate this person right now.
Last night they had a little gathering, everyone partied it up until midnight which is when they ended up calling it a night; then each headed back to their own home. Jun Zhe along with Xiao Mo and the others had been ganging up on Xia Chen, they were trying to make him tell them his date progress with Sao Zi. True to being the ever glacial one, Xia Chen was still acting calm as always; he only said “very good” and then did not say anything else. The whole group of people gave him despised looks the whole time. Xiao Mo grimaced in Xia Chen’s direction for a long time before coming up with the conclusion that Lao Da’s appearance when in love is really strange; he still has that serious look on, but when his mouth suddenly twitches into a smile, it looks strangely devilish.
By the time Jun Zhe got back home, he felt a little dizzy. 12 o’clock for a night owl like himself was not considered late at all, so he logged into the game a short while after he got home. For some reason he just did not feel right since he hadn’t played for a whole day. Right when he logged on, he was caught by Xiao Xiao Xiao; she started whining right away saying someone cussed her and Sao Zi out, then they were being followed by others. She went on to say that it was the most miserable experience ever and it made her really angry too.
Jun Zhe also felt unhappy at hearing this, they just went out for a day and someone came to look for trouble. However, the more he listened the more confused he got, he caught the gist of the most important point…Sao Zi is actually a man and was not deceiving Lao Da, because Lao Da already knew it from a long time ago…
