Growing up, Ke Qi's family didn't have much money. His only weekend pastime was watching recordings of Great God Qingshan playing games on the family's beat-up secondhand laptop.
The flash of blades, killing without a trace.
It was so cool.
He wanted to play too, but the Great God's game was a money pit. He couldn't even afford the basic prepaid game card.
When he finally got the chance to play, his biggest dream was to become the Great God's close friend and witness his skills firsthand.
As soon as he entered the beginner's village, he ran into a skilled, mature woman doing quests with a little girl. The heroine saw someone being treated unfairly and drew her blade to help. Every move she made seemed to echo the Great God Qingshan.
She must be a fan of the Great God too! He'd found someone who shared his interests.
His new friend was a little aloof, but that didn't stop Ke Qi from unilaterally swearing brotherhood with her and chattering away online.
