As usual, summer mornings came abnormally fast. It was only six oāclock in the morning and the sky was already bright. When Bai Lian Hua woke up, Li Bei was already gone and Chu Zhongtian, who slept on the upper bunk, slept like a log. After getting dressed, Bai Lian Hua shook Chu Zhongtian awake and ordered him to go and pick up their resultsā¦..
Youāre asking why Bai Lian Hua asked him to go instead? ā¦..Itās because he wanted to play games and naturally could only trouble Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian angrily glared at him with an expression indicating that they didnāt need to pick up their results so early but it was ignored by Bai Lian Hua who yawned lazily and proceeded to log online. Needless to say, the amount of players online right now were scarce and were mainly composed of players who pulled all-nighters. Ā Unfortunately for Bai Lian Hua, none of his friends had pulled all-nighters and so he could only complete his tasks aloneā¦..instances, itās too lonely doing them alone; fighting monsters, experience gained is too low; completing tasks, not funā¦..Sure enough, just like it is easy to go from poor to rich and difficult to transition from rich to poor; it was easy to go from playing alone to playing as a group and difficult to transition back to playing aloneā¦..
Thatās right. Shouldnāt senior brother be online at this time? He logged onto penguin and temporarily pushed the game aside. Once he was on, he saw that senior brother really did live up to his expectations.
White Lotus 7:01:11
Senior brother??
Scattered ChrysanthemumĀ 7:01:19
So earlyĀ junior brother?
White Lotus 7:01:24
T__T Yes.Ā I wantedĀ to ask,Ā do you know who helped me pay back the money?
Scattered ChrysanthemumĀ 7:01:39
Ahahahaha it is I!
White Lotus 7:01:49
Really??
Scattered ChrysanthemumĀ 7:01:56
HahahaĀ of course ā-Ā not!Ā _(āe:)_
White Lotus 7:02:03
Damn you Li Fuju!
Scattered ChrysanthemumĀ 7:02:09
I already said not to call me by my real name!!! This one hates being called by my real name!!
Bai Lian Hua was not interested in listening to the complaints of his senior brother and proceeded to close the dialogue box. He deeply contemplated, itās not Chu Zhongtian; and itās not senior brotherā¦..please forgive this Bai Lian Hua who canāt think of anyone else who would help him pay back the money. He couldnāt help but feel that his IQ really is inadequate.
At half past seven, Chu Zhongtian also left and Bai Lian Hua was the only one left in the entire dormitory. Bai Lian Hua had reached level 56 so far mainly due to the contributions of Half Crazy Smile and Lonely like Snow. Thatās rightā¦ā¦ā¦he can go and learn some life skillsā¦.As he reached the Drug King Valley, a medicine gathering man carrying a basket of an unknown assortment of medicine stood by the entrance. Bai Lian Hua moved his mouse over this figure and selected him.
[Medicine gatherer:Ā YoungĀ manā¦ Did you come to learn about medicinal herbs?]
He selected yes and accepted the medicine gathering task. However, before he could even get halfway through the first task, the penguin icon on his task bar started flashing. Bai Lian Hua paused his mission, opened the chat interface and saw that it was actually from Smile.
_Love Smiles Love Life _7:49:27
HeyĀ hey hey Lotus.Ā So early?
White Lotus 7:49:34
Yesā¦ Is there something?
_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:49:53
Yes! Itās about Great Godā¦ā¦..
White Lotus 7:50:07
What happened to Great God?
Although the number of times he had spoken to Great God could not even fill a page in the chat records, he was still his former master. Bai Lian Hua reasoned that, with this, there was nothing wrong with being concerned about Great God. Yet for some reason, every time he sees Great Godās name, he couldnāt help but feel strange insideā¦..
_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:50:12
Great GodĀ completed the identify verification yesterdayā¦ā¦
White Lotus 7:50:29
ā¦.and then?
_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:50:49
Great God only just turned 18 years old!!!Ā Call Song Qinggeā¦
_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:50:59
Well, it might also not necessarily be Great Godās own ID cardā¦ā¦
White Lotus 7:51:11
-å£-!!!!
Bai Lotus was dumbfounded.Ā The age of Great Godā¦Great God himself revealedĀ it beforeĀ so he was not very surprised.Ā On the contrary, it wasĀ the name of Great Godā¦.isnāt it that guy from yesterdayā¦ that first-year freshman who ate dumplings with him? Or was he just coincidentally someone with the same name?
Noā¦.it probably isnāt just someone with the same name. Bai Lian Hua faintly remembered Great God saying that he applied for A University as his preferenceā¦..Bai Lian Hua was suddenly covered in a thin layer of cold sweat but he didnāt know why he felt chills up his spine. His heart uncontrollably pounded in his chestā¦ā¦.if Song Qingge is Great Godā¦ā¦.
Making him carry the computer case + owes him money for a long time + late = Bai Lian Hua; gifting twenty five thousand worth of equipment + saving him several times + non-talkative = Song Qingge?ā¦ā¦ā¦The guy who looks like a devil with glasses and like an iceberg when he removes glassesā¦ā¦is Great God?!
In all honesty, Bai Lian Hua could not believe it but the facts were sitting right in front of him. He could only gradually accept his conjecturesā¦..it wasnāt because someone helped him pay the money back, but it was because Great God didnāt want his money. He changed to the game interface and glanced at the greyed out display picture on his friends list feeling slightly frustrated inside. No one knew how tempted he was to just send him a message and ask āAre you Song Qingge?āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:51:23
Scared silly?
_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:52:47
Hey Hey!Ā Donāt tell me you died from shock?
White Lotus 7:53:01
Noā¦ just a littleĀ surprised.
No, rather than being a little surprised, it was more accurate to say that he was greatly surprised. He was surprised and horrified to the point that his internal organs felt like they had all malfunctionedā¦ā¦.He casually chatted with Smile and added him as a friend on penguin but throughout the entire process, his mind was lost in a sea of thoughtsā¦.
Bai Lian Hua soullessly continued to perform his medicine collection task and couldnāt even afford to feel excited as his experience meter rose little by little nor could he pay attention to his surroundings.
[Nearby] Drunkenness in the Ming Dynasty: Hey, is that guy whoās wearing Jiasha Lotus brother?
[Nearby] Little Ghosts: Idiot. In this game there is only one monk okay?
ā¦
And so, it was onlyĀ until theĀ moment he was surrounded by three players and a series of red numbers had appeared above his character did he realise that he was being attacked.
Rightā¦these three names had left an impression before. They were the three players he had encountered on the Tao Hua Yuan Instanceā¦ā¦those stupid [Beepāāā]. Ā Who would have thought that they would meet again like this?
Bai Lian HuaĀ stopped collecting the medicinal herbsĀ and drank a red bottle to restore about half of his blood. Looking at his empty skills bar, he was faced with a difficulty situation. Last time, the three players were only around level forty, and this time it looks like they had actually reached fifty. But they had only just reached level fifty so even if they want to attack a level fifty-six player, they would have no chance to winā¦.that is, of course, if the player isnāt Bai Lian Huaā¦.
Although he was already level fifty six, his simple attacks were not even comparable to that of a level fifty swordsman and, on top of that, he was originally an archer so his skills were main focused on increasing his speed rather than attack strength. Furthermore, since he had become a monk, he became unable to wear other equipment causing his originally weak attacks to become even more useless. His Buddhist scriptures also didnāt give him a skill or anythingā¦..when facing three swordsmanāsā¦..it was basically as if he is just revealing his chrysanthemumĀ and asking to be attacked!
Looking at his gradually diminishing blood meter and the red medicine icon which still remained greyed out as it slowly counted down, Bai Lian Hua resisted like a cockroach for about ten minutes before he eventually fell. As he fell, Bai Lian Huaās screen became covered with a gray tone causing the scene to look extra sad.
[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Lotus brother was killed!!
[Nearby] General Gong: Feminine goddessĀ diedĀ so pitifully T_Tā¦..whereās Great God, Roommate and Smile? Quickly come and save the flowerā¦ā¦
It was possible for Smile and Roommate butā¦ā¦Great Godā¦ā¦He probably wonāt come? Even if he died, became disabled or became pregnantā¦ā¦..he probably wouldnāt care.
[Nearby] äø¶ē č¾åč½č¹_åę: Why did I get a red name after killing him once? Donāt you have to kill ten to get a red name??
āItās because Iām a monkā¦ā¦āĀ Bai Lian Hua said silently in his heart. He couldnāt help but go and complain in his guild chat
Guild Leader Ā·Ā White lotus 8:11:00
Wuwuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ was hacked to deathā¦ā¦
Vice Guild Leader Ā· Lonely like Snow 8:11:07
Ah?Ā Who?
Guild LeaderĀ Ā· White Lotus 8:11:21
By three idiotsā¦ā¦.
The group chat went silent for a few seconds.Ā Bai Lian Hua impatiently changed from the chat channel to the game window and was surprised to find that the three idiots had not left. Bai Lian Hua had wanted to choose to resurrect back at the main city when the screen sudden became blindingly brightā¦..
Bai Lian HuaĀ hadĀ notĀ yetĀ recoveredĀ from the shining white lightĀ when the three idiots suddenly fell to the ground with one hit.

If you asked Bai Lian Hua what the most handsome action in the gaming world was, he would immediately answer: instant kill.
[Nearby] Great God: Came late
[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Ahhhh!Ā I was just saying that Great God will come!!!
Bai Lian Huaās face was covered in black linesā¦..you bastard, when did you say that!Ā You just listed three possibilities!
[Nearby] Great God: Month Before The Rain resurrectĀ myĀ apprentice and the three who just died
[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Ahhhhh!Ā Great God actually called my name!!!
As expected of the famous healer in the gaming world, after three or four seconds later, Bai Lian Hua was resurrected and back to full blood. Apart from his level that had dropped to level fifty five, everything else was the sameā¦ā¦
And after a few seconds, the three wereĀ also resurrected.Ā Great God then used his sword in and one smooth action, all three once again fell instantly.
[Nearby] Great God: Continue
ā¦
After this was repeated five or six times, one of the three idiots finally spoke up.
[Nearby] äø¶ē č¾åč½č¹_åę: How can the Great God bully new players like this!
[Nearby] Great God: White Lotus is also a new player
[Nearby] äø¶ē č¾åč½č¹ _ å Heng: We have all dropped six levels. Isnāt it enough??
[Nearby] Great God: I saidĀ it before. If you kill White Lotus once, I will gank your whole family
As he said this, heĀ actually disappearedĀ into thin air. It looks like he had gone offline. Ā Seeing the actions of the former player, the other two also quietly went offline.
[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Great God is so handsome!!!!
[Nearby] Great God: Thank you for your compliments
Bai Lian Hua looked at the Great God dressed in a white flowing gown on his screen and suddenly remembered the works his father had said: āDo you know what kind of person is considered a real man? Men! They can be lascivious! Can be greedy! But most importantly, they must be trustworthy! Must have charisma! And should never hesitate like a sissy! Look at those in the military! They are the definition of a true man!ā
