Junior dorm did not have the âturn off the lightsâ rule, but he had always had a very regular schedule; every day around ten he would always go to bed. For this reason, Hou Dongyan often said that he lived like an old man, not a little college student.
However, this night, He Jin couldnât sleep, memory from the game kept on playing in his mind like a movie.
Fireâs figure in the sky, Fireâs magnetic voice, Fireâs smile when he killed him, as well as the last sentence that he sentâŠ
He never thought that such dramatic things would happen to him.
Eight years of waiting, even in reality, how many people could do it?
Although the other guyâs behaviour aroused an inexplicable feeling inside hin, but to be treated like this, He Jin also couldnât help but feel a bit movedâŠ
On the contrary, his own -turtle hiding in itâs shell- approach, really made He Jin wanted to spurn at himself.
He wondered, what was Fire feeling after he left? Disappointment? Anger? Frustration?
Thinking about this somehow made him feel upset. He Jin turned over, and covered his head with the quilt.
Close to twelve oâclock, Hou Dongyan slowly shut down his computer to sleep. After finishing, he turned around and was surprised to find He Jin still awake: âWhy are you still awake, insomnia?â
He Jin felt stuffy buried in his quilt, so he exposed his head, and fell silent for a long while. Then, he couldnât bear his thoughts anymore and asked Hou Dongyan: âDo you remember your friends who played games with you from eight years ago?â
Hou Dongyan was surprised for a moment: âEight years ago? Junior high school? So long ago, who would remember ah!â
He Jin sighed, muttering: âYes ah, who would rememberâŠâ
Hou Dongyan reacted: âYou meet your old friends in the game?â
He Jin: âYes, that person⊠still remembers me.â
âWow, amazing!â Hou Dongyan got into bed, and asked quite excitedly, âAnd then?â
He Jin: âWe talked about what happened in the past when we were playing the game ⊠He seems to think that I am a woman.â (= _ =)
To still remembered He Jin after so many years, and based on the fact that he also thought He Jin was a woman, it was not difficult to guess what the other guy must be feeling for He Jin. Hou Dongyan, who quickly realized this, turned to ridicule him: âWhy, are you feeling some sort of psychological burden over this?â
He Jin sighed⊠yes, he felt guilty.
Hou Dongyan: âJin Ge, if you want my opinion ah, I think you are being too serious about this. Itâs only a game, and because itâs online we donât even know who is who, donât think so much!â
He Jin: ââŠ.â He also had this mentality ah! (= _ =)
Hou Dongyan remembered something, and said happily to He Jin: âIâll tell you something, ah, I recently played â Dream Wonderland â and meet a buddy. His wife in the game always asked him for equipment and gifts, acting all kind of spoiled and cute⊠what do you think happened afterwards? â
He Jin: âHis wife is a liar?â
Hou Dongyan: âNot a liar, but a faker AH ~ you understand! However, my friend knew but still did not divorce him. He also said that he is still playing happily now, continue to let a man being spoiled by him every day, spending his money on him⊠â
<b>[T/N</b> : Sometimes people called guys who played a girl characters in games as fakers.]
He Jin: ââŠâ
Hou Dongyan: âSo, itâs all about willingness to play, people who played games are very aware of that. Well, even if you only put on a vest when playing, who would know? Computers are not dogs who can spy on you⊠Jin Ge, you also donât be too serious, real life is tiring enough, why donât allow people to indulge in the virtual world?â
He Jin: ââŠâ It did seem to have a bit of truth.
After being enlightened by Hou Dongyan, He Jin also no longer felt like a jerk âŠ
Hou Dongyan yawned: â Well, donât think about it, good night ~â
Soon, a light snoring could be heard from the next bed. He Jin blinked his eyes in exhaustion, and sighed â being a âno hearts no lungsâ person really is a subject of envy ahâŠ
[ <b>T/N</b> : No heart no lung (æČĄćżæČĄèș) is an expression for someone who is simple minded or carefree. This is referring to HDYâs attitude.]

In another room at the same building, another person was also destined to have a sleepless night.
On that personâs computer screen, a message popped out:
Nine Hall His Highness: âDamn you! Ruthless, you fucking crazy!â
Qin Yu pointed at Nine Hall His Highnessâs name, and continued to declare war.
Nine Hall lay paralyzed on the ground: âNot coming! You are too ruthless today, I did nothing wrong to you!â
Fire Ruthless: ââŠâ
ăDemon God Arena #6ă: PlayerăDead Water °ă enters the room.
Nine Hall His Highness: âAh ~ water brother you come ~ ~ ~ fast help me to get revenge! [Crying]â
Dead Water : ââŠâ
Dead Water : âWhat happened?â
Nine Hall His Highness: âRuthless today eat the wrong medicine! He tricked me here to kill me! Eighteen times ah,;eighteen times! I have died eighteen times! [Crying] [crying] [crying]â
Dead Water went to Nine Hall His Highness and asked, âGeez, did you mention about his wife?â
Fire Ruthless: ââŠâ
Nine Hall His Highness: âWhat wife? Ruthless has a wife?â
Dead Water °: âYou donât know? The one that abandoned him for six years, oh no, already seven years, wait itâs wrong, looks like itâs been eight yearsâŠâ
ăDemon God Arena #6ă: PlayerăFire Ruthlessă declare war to player ăDead Wateră!
Nine Hall His Highness: ââŠâ
Three minutes later, Dead Water lay down on the street together with Nine Hall, shedding two lines of tears. He sent a private chat to Nine Hall: âDid you seeâŠâ
ăPrivate Chat Nine Hall His Highnessă: âI did, Water brother, my condolenceâŠâ
ăPrivate Chat Dead Wateră: âI donât want to accept⊠(T_T)â
ăPrivate Chat Nine Hall His Highnessă: âFight again! I got your back!â
ăPrivate Chat Dead Wateră : âTonight just forget it, Iâll just continue to pretend to die with youâŠâ
ăPrivate Chat Nine Hall His Highnessă: âWater brother, but you are Heavenly Being first master ah ⊠isnât that enough?â
ăPrivate Chat Dead Wateră âYou are still young, do not understand, the road of beating the invincible, itâs a lonely oneâŠâ
Dead Water as ranked second on the Master List, originally his strength with Fire Ruthless, even if slightly inferior in PK technology, the two still could fight a lasting battle. But seeing that even now Fire Ruthless still have half of his blood, Dead Water had no intention to fight today. He still could not help but feel unhappy though.
Fire Ruthless: âIâm leaving.â
A few seconds later, Fire Ruthless disappeared from the arena.
Dead Water quickly got up, dressed in white clothes, with a folding fan in his hand, looking very different from the corpse who lay on the ground just now.
Dead Water°: âSee âŠâ
Nine Hall His Highness: âYou win!â

In the deep of the night, Qin Yu felt a slight cold on his body so he got up and draped a coat over his shoulder. He took a piece of paper, and drew circles on it, fingers kept tapping on the desk in thought. A while later, he turned and looked at the pinhole camera on his smart bracelet: âCall Peng Yu Hao.â
After a âpingâ sound, a square light curtain emerged, projecting a familiar face. It was the young man who called Qin Yu to broadcast before, his puffy face looked even more slovenly in the glow of the computer screen.
Peng Yu Hao was an assistant arranged by Fly Tour Network for Qin Yu. He is a night owl, his day and night was upside down, usually he would be awake from five to nine (five oâclock in the evening till nine oâclock in the morning), so for him, this phone call wasnât really a late call.
âOh elder brother, itâs already so late but you still havenât sleep. Is it because you feel guilty?â Peng Yuhao is older than Qin Yu by a few years, but due to the strength of Qin Yu in the game, he called him âelder broherâ as a show of respect: âYour act of ditching the audiences tonight could have cost me more or less a few hundred dollars!â
âI have something to ask you,â Qin Yu knew he was joking, he was also just playing with him. He had known Peng Yuhao for two years, and although the other guy was slovenly, but his enthusiastic and loyalty made up for it. Not to mention his circle in the game network was also very wide, âCan you help me to get involved in the âDemon Godâ holographic helmet lotteryâs player information?â
Peng Yuhao: âWhy do you want this?â
Qin Yu: âTo find someone.â
Peng Yuhao: âWhat kind of person?â
Qin Yu: âMy server area, the game ID is Xiao Xian-Jin, spirit race, current level: 30, is a Hua University student, about the same age as me, estimated one year older than me.â
Peng Yuhao: âMan or woman?â
Qin Yu: âI donât know.â
Peng Yuhao: âYou donât know?â
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, before saying again: âYes, donât know.â
Peng Yuhao recorded the information, put up a glass of water to his lips, and frowned, âWho is this? With this low level, for you to find them yourself⊠Even if you met directly on the game, usually people wouldnât dare to do anything once they saw your name.â
Qin Yu: âItâs my wife.â
âPuff ⊠â Peng Yu Hao splashed a mouthful of water on the computer screen!
Qin Yu added: âin the game.â
! Peng Yu Hao, of course, knew it was in the game, but he wondered: âYou have a wife in the game?â
Over the past few years, all people in the game knew that âFire Ruthlessâ did not like to talk about feelings, however, most of them had forgotten that he actually had a âwife.â
Qin Yu: âDonât gossip, tell me you can get it.â
Peng Yuhao coughed twice and explained: âThis, I cannot guarantee ah, I certainly canât get in the security information database. Revealing userâs personal information can be charged with legal responsibility, so the game official is more cautious about these things. And that âDemon Godâ lottery, the participants are not less than tens of thousands, to find such an individual there is equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack ⊠However, there is still a way, I know an insider, you can manipulate the data to make this ID player won the lottery. The game company will release a winner list, with their telephone and address information extracted separately, so we can find it then. â
Qin Yu: âWaiting for the helmet lottery result⊠isnât that in one month?â
Peng Yuhao: âAt least one month!â
Qin paused and narrowed his eyes: âFine.â â He had waited for eight years, waiting for one more month is nothing.
Feeling Qin Yuâs serious tone, Peng Yuhao turned on gossip mode: âDid she cheat money out of you? Or did she rob you? ⊠for you to resort on finding her real information, if itâs serious, then tell the police ah!â
Qin Ying: âDonât talk nonsense.â
Peng Yu Hao: âAre you sure she participated in the lottery?â
Qin Yu: âYes, she was online tonight, I asked, and she said she joined.â
Peng Yu Hao exclaimed: âIâll do it! Donât tell me you ditch the broadcast tonight because of your wife?!â

Qin Yu: âYes.â
Peng Yuhao almost fell from the chair, his gossip antenna began to rotate fast â gosh, he didnât think Qin Yu was never âheartlessâ but âinfatuatedâ ah⊠that person is in Hua Uni? Isnât this Qin Geâs school! However, because he did not know whether itâs a man and woman, Peng Yuhao felt a little worried. If he found out itâs a man, what would happen to Qin Ge?
Qin Yu: âOK, Iâm going to sleep, the helmet thing, just send the cost directly to me.â
Peng Yu Hao: âHey wait, the next time I see you please rememberâŠâ
The words had not been finished, the connection was already cut off.
