"Ascension to the Immortal Realm" is a hugely popular online game, consistently ranking among the top three games by revenue. Its many tie-in products sell out as soon as they hit the shelves.
Ji Fengling downloaded the game just to give it a try, but barely made it out of the starting village before someone started hunting him down.
After getting killed for the Nth time, even his normally mild temper snapped. He demanded in the public chat to know why the other player was doing this.
The other player replied nonchalantly:
[Change your name. My baby wants to use it.]
Heh. Ji Fengling was so furious he nearly burst a blood vessel. He memorized the player's ID, registered a new account, and planned to level up before beating the guy into the ground.
Then one day, in the PvP arena, he ran into the asshole who had killed him one-on-one more than ten times. The guy had a perfect record, wore dazzling golden skins, and was surrounded by fans cheering him on. Apparently, he was the long-reigning number-one player on the entire server.
Ji Fengling: ? How am I supposed to beat him?
Following the principle of knowing your enemy, he took the initiative to approach the guy. He had just sent, "Hey, big bro."
A single question mark appeared on the screen.
Right after that, the other player sent him a friend request.
Looking at his own character's cute, soft outfit, Ji Fengling thought, So this guy is a sleazy old pervert. Just you wait, I'll get my revenge.
So every day, he showered the guy with over-the-top compliments and followed him around like a little shadow. He even used a voice changer and called him "Master" in an extra-sweet voice.
The man, who had originally been a man of few words, grew gentler and more considerate under Ji Fengling's relentless pursuit. Remembering that the guy was a pervert, Ji Fengling even sacrificed his dignity and sent him a photo of his legs, followed by shots of his half-hidden shoulders and slim waist.
Heh. Surely this will win you over?
Under the man's guidance, his gaming skills improved rapidly. At last, one day, he trampled the sleazy guy underfoot.
Unexpectedly, the other player didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even confessed to him.
As it happened, Ji Fengling learned the truth: He had remembered the wrong game ID. The asshole who had killed him more than ten times was an impersonator of this top player, with a comma added to the end of his name.
He had taken revenge on the wrong person.
The next day, the top player invited him to meet in person. Seeing the tall, handsome man with his cold, imposing aura, Ji Fengling turned into a coward. After apologizing, he tried to make a quick getaway, but Lu Ciyuan sneered, "You're going to leave after turning me gay?"
Ji Fengling wanted to cry. "Bro! I'm actually straight!"
"Is that so? I don't believe you."
HE; 1v1; super sweet.
