[JX3] Little White's Record of Kicking Internet Addiction

Mo Yiming, a sophomore in college and a chuunibyou (crossed out), upstanding young man, downloaded a game called JX3 after his roommate talked him into it.

After grinding his way to max level, he thought he could finally start enjoying the world of martial arts and adventure. Instead, every time he logged in, a mysterious Mingjiao player would hunt him down and kill him. Wherever he went, he got killed, and even hiding in the main city didn’t stop the guy from turning on PvP and coming after him.

As if killing him weren’t enough, the guy also had to mock him for being bad.

Mo Yiming was so mad he nearly tore off his keyboard caps.

Damn it. If I can’t beat him, I’ll join him.

Mo Yiming made a new Mingjiao character, used a level-boosting item, and posted in world chat: “Newbie looking for a strong Mingjiao master.”

Then hundreds of people copied his message.

Mo Yiming’s face turned green. What kind of game is this!?

“Ding-dong.” At last, a private message came in.

[Saving Up for Fish Snacks]: Are you really a newbie? Are you in a guild?

[Saving Up for Fish Snacks]: Join our guild. We’ll give you an incredibly strong master.

After joining the guild, Mo Yiming saw the ID of the so-called incredibly strong master the guild leader had mentioned and froze. Wasn’t this the same guy who’d randomly killed him dozens of times?

Heh heh heh. Learn from the enemy to defeat the enemy. Once I’ve learned everything from my master, I’ll kill him right back!

Lu Mingzhang is an assassin in a killer guild. He took a job that was different from the usual revenge or love-triangle contracts. This time, he was supposed to help someone kick their internet addiction.

Client: “That’s his character. Just kill him until he’s too scared to log in.”

It was rare to see someone hold such a grudge. Lu Mingzhang was an assassin, but he wasn’t an emotionless killer. How big a grudge did you have to hold to make someone quit the game?

“I’m not taking it.”

Client: “Don’t get the wrong idea! He’s my younger brother. He’s a high school senior, plays games all day instead of studying, and needs to be cured of his internet addiction.”

Client: “By the way, he’s pretty good. He plays Beggars’ Sect, so watch out.”

Client: “Make sure you really roast him. Seeing him act so smug makes me furious. He calls me trash at home every day. I can’t take it anymore.”

A high school senior! He really did need to kick the habit.

“Send me his ID.”

Reader’s guide:

1. The story is set in the level-95 version, but it’s been so long since the author played that my memory is a mess. The version details will probably get mixed up as I write, so please point out any bugs in the comments!

2. The author is terrible at the game. Please overlook any issues with combat technique.

3. If you’d like to appear in the story, feel free to share your potato’s ID. If I use it, I’ll give you a special thanks!

4. The main characters’ IDs were all made up by the author. Any resemblance is purely coincidental!

5. The bottom mainly plays an alt at first.

6. The characters’ values do not represent the author’s! In short, don’t fight! Don’t insult people! Don’t insult the top or the bottom!
