[Before starting, please read the pinned third-floor comment and the reading guide in the first chapter's author's note.] Check out my Online Game keyboard-and-mouse novel coming soon: Everyone on the Server Ships Our CP [Online Game]. Blurb at the bottom! ---This Novel's Blurb--- A very gentle raid leader and healer, x a top-ranked expert who seems cold but is pure-hearted inside Lin Xing x Qi Qingzhou Lin Jian Tingfeng x Qing Zhou As the hottest MMO Online Game today, Sword of the Immortal Path has remained hugely popular for years thanks to its rich and colorful xianxia stories, gorgeous and exquisite art, and high degree of freedom. Lin Jian Tingfeng is the famous, gentle raid leader of the Yongyule server in Sword of the Immortal Path. In an era when irritable raid leaders checked the team's damage per second as soon as you joined, kicked anyone who failed the test, and cursed people out for every mistake, Lin Jian Tingfeng won unanimous praise from everyone on Yongyule with his gentle voice, hands-on instructions, and sharp play! Someone on the team makes a mistake. Little Lin Leader: "It's okay, let's try again. It was my fault. That red circle appeared so suddenly. I should have warned you." The team wipes and the run fails. Little Lin Leader: "It's not your fault. This dungeon is a bit hard, and we just formed the team. It's normal that we can't beat it yet. We just need to work together a little more." Someone disconnects halfway through a run. Little Lin Leader: "Our healer disconnected. Let's wait for them, okay? Here, I'll explain how to dodge that red circle we just saw..." The people of Yongyule: Little Lin Leader is seriously so kind! Qing Zhou is the top-ranked player on the Qinghefeng server, top-ranked in every sense. First in cultivation, first in PVE, first in PVP, first in wealth... Mirror Sky Demonic Music is a notorious torture dungeon. Countless guides have been written for its Master difficulty, yet no one has ever cleared it solo. Qing Zhou soloed Master difficulty in Mirror Sky Demonic Music with incredible skill, becoming famous throughout Sword of the Immortal Path. But Qing Zhou is a mysterious person who never speaks in the world chat. All the people of Qinghefeng know is that Qing Zhou has played there since the server opened. They know nothing else. The only time the people of Qinghefeng ever saw Qing Zhou speak was when he was crafting a legendary weapon. In the world chat, he wrote: "Buying a thousand-year-old cold iron for one million gold." Later, Yongyule and Qinghefeng merged. * Qing Zhou had a master who had played with him ever since he first started the game. Later, Qing Zhou quit the game for three months. When he came back, his master's avatar had gone dark. Qing Zhou looked at that dark avatar and waited silently for three years. Later, out of boredom, he joined a random team. In the team was a very gentle Daoyun leader. Daoyun had a clear, melodious voice and gave good instructions. As they spent more and more time together, he realized he might have fallen for Daoyun. On the Qixi Festival, after preparing for a long time, he planned to confess to Daoyun... "Ding dong." A special alert that a close friend had come online interrupted his thoughts. His master, who had disappeared for three years, had come online. And then... Then the person he had a crush on started a romantic bond with his master. Qing Zhou: ??? Reading Guide: 1. One-on-one, shou-centered, happy ending. No switching or pairing changes. Lin Xing is the shou, Qi Qingzhou is the gong. 2. The master is the shou. 3. This novel has a very high concentration of gameplay. The Online Game in the story is a custom MMO called Sword of the Immortal Path, inspired by MMOs such as A Dream of Jianghu, formerly Chu Liuxiang Mobile. 4. Just gaming, no esports. It's a sweet little story about a couple playing games and falling in love. 5. The game stats in the story require careful calculations by someone knowledgeable. The author can only do so much alone. 6. I don't recommend buying chapters 27-32. These chapters set up foreshadowing for later, but they're poorly written, and I can't fix them now. Skipping them won't affect your understanding. 7. For a detailed reading guide, see the author's note in chapter one. Before starting, please read the pinned comment and the reading guide in the author's note in chapter one. Everything that needs explaining is there. ---Coming Soon: Everyone on the Server Ships Our CP [Online Game]--- Proud, sharp-tongued PVE expert ranked second and shou x scheming, foul-mouthed PVP expert ranked first and gong Jiang Qingyun x Shen Yan Blurb: Everyone on the Xiaoxiang Night Rain server knows that the top-ranked Feng He Yan and the second-ranked Qing Feng Ji Xu can't stand each other. Today, the second-ranked player's guild steals a world boss from the top-ranked player's guild. Tomorrow, the top-ranked player's guild steals the second-ranked player's dungeon record. The day after that, members of the second-ranked player's guild spam voice messages insulting the top-ranked guild, then start a fight in the open world... The players of Xiaoxiang Night Rain don't know whether the two guilds are enjoying the fights, but they sure are enjoying shipping them. After the second-ranked guild, Snow Gazing from the Tower, lost a guild battle to the top-ranked guild, World Under Heaven, once again, Qing Feng Ji Xu sent over a dozen voice messages, each worth 388 yuan, furiously calling Feng He Yan a dog. Qing Feng Ji Xu: Feng He Yan, you dog***! Your World Under Heaven are all ****! After more than a dozen furious voice messages, Feng He Yan replied casually. Feng He Yan: Got it. Qing Feng Ji Xu: ... Xiaoxiang Night Rain players: Honestly, I kind of ship you two. After being crushed by World Under Heaven in their fourth guild battle, Jiang Qingyun finally couldn't take it anymore. Especially when his nemesis sent him several provocative private messages after Snow Gazing from the Tower lost to World Under Heaven again. Feng He Yan: Oh? Lost again? Sad enough to cry? Feng He Yan: If you're bad, practice more. Feng He Yan: Why aren't you replying? Don't tell me you're actually crying? Jiang Qingyun saw the messages from his nemesis and coldly sent back one word. Qing Feng Ji Xu: Get lost. To steal World Under Heaven's guild secrets, and to teach Feng He Yan a lesson, Jiang Qingyun made an alt and infiltrated World Under Heaven, successfully becoming Feng He Yan's apprentice and romantic partner. After stealing World Under Heaven's secrets and deceiving Feng He Yan both emotionally and physically, he promptly deleted the alt and ran away. But when Jiang Qingyun logged in the next day, his main account received a message from his nemesis. Feng He Yan: Why did you delete your alt? Feng He Yan: Dropping the act? Feng He Yan: Are you mad because I was leading the guild battle that day and didn't spend time with you? Feng He Yan: Or because I didn't send you 99 messages while you were offline, so you felt neglected? Feng He Yan: Is it because I ran dungeons with other people without you, and you were sad? Feng He Yan: Fine, I'm sorry. I won't do that again. Feng He Yan sent a voice message. "I've ended the romantic and master-disciple bonds with your alt. Now you should start a romantic bond with me on your main, right?" Right after that, Feng He Yan sent a server-wide voice message worth 3,888 yuan, announcing it to the whole server. [Voice Message] Feng He Yan: @Qing Feng Ji Xu, baby, I'm sorry. The whole server exploded. The whole server: I kind of ship you two. Theme: If you keep holding on, you'll eventually find the right person.
