Chapter 20

“Xiao Ru!” The alien teacher suddenly exploded with powerful force and shook Qin Yuandai away. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. His hands buried in his eyes, and his mouth couldn’t help but spew curses, pitiful and hateful.

“You beasts! You killed Xiao Ru!” He suddenly raised his head and stared at Qin Yuandai as if he was a wife-killing enemy.

Qin Yuandai was arrogant and apathetic: “It was obviously you who killed Xiao Ru bit by bit. It was you who always wanted to shrink away and take shortcuts when encountering hardships, which made everything worse. Now that you’ve killed two women, you don’t want to repent. You just scold others.”

“What do you know?!” The alien teacher said angrily. “Manpower gets exhausted and my abilities are limited. If I wanted to get enough money to treat Xiao Ru’s illness in such a short time, it was all I could do to marry a rich woman. You haven’t considered it from my perspective. What qualifications do you have to judge my actions? If you were that desperate, would you do everything perfectly?”

Qin Yuandai sneered without speaking.

“I did all I could to give Xiao Ru the best… why does Xiao Ru still hate me!” The alien teacher shed bloody tears. “I’m only one step away from success; I’ll be able to give Xiao Ru a better life right away. You guys–“

His eyes were blood red and full of fury. He exploded with a roar, desperately attacking Qin Yuandai.

But in this condition during the day, the alien teacher’s powers had been weakened too much. He hit a stone with an egg and was killed with Qin Yuandai.

“A courageous coward. Unbearable.” When Qin Yuandai killed the ghost, he commented and expressed his disdain. “Xiao Ru suffered in vain, sacrificing herself to save such a waste as you.”

Qin Yuandai was very strong, but he wasn’t born strong. When he was born, he was just like everyone else: a baby who could only howl and cry.

Qin Yuandai was able to survive and rise to the challenge through countless setbacks, even when he hit a ceiling and spilled his blood.

Qin Yuandai had experienced that kind of powerlessness too many times. He looked down on Mr. Meng; he wasn’t ignorant to the suffering in the world–

If you want to talk about a scar with a hero, who could compare to him?

But desperation didn’t mean taking any shortcuts or using any methods.

If he didn’t have money to treat Xiao Ru’s illness, why not devote himself to high-risk industries? The money would be rich! Of course, there was a considerable chance that he wouldn’t return. As smart as Mr. Meng was, there was no reason to give up his chance of marrying a rich woman and getting rich easily, seeking a dead end.

There was nothing wrong with his choice, but he was too greedy.

In this world, the essence of choice was to choose. 1 Limited by his abilities, he chose to take shortcuts and was unwilling to suffer, so he had to be prepared to lose his love and hurt his lover.

But judging from the consequences, Mr. Meng acted like he lost his mind. He obviously wasn’t prepared for that. Mr. Meng was neither willing to lose Xiao Ru’s love nor his easy life. He wanted to have the best of both worlds. When the time came to test it, it was just a foolish dream.

–how could there be such a good thing in the world?

A good relationship may be bestowed by god, but if a person isn’t virtuous and their happiness is crushed, there is no way to keep hold of it.

The sun shone through the windows and sprinkled bright morning light over the earth. The light was dazzling, lacking even the slightest sorrow.

Qin Yuandai stood in the pool of blood, backed by the light, and beckoned for You Xi: “Come here.”

You Xi could guess what Qin Yuandai was calling him for based on recent events. After Xiao Ru revealed the secret, she was obliterated by the system. There was a 99% chance she was telling the truth. In this game, You Xi and Qin Yuandai were most likely the only pare amongst all the players who were in love with each other.

”

”

But there was a 1% risk, wasn’t there? Maybe Xiao Ru knew that neither she nor Mr. Meng would survive the day, so she had to find someone to target and deliberately deceived Qin Yuandai!

Seek wealth and risks. Even with was someone as powerful as Qin Yuandai, safety is never 100% guaranteed. There must always be a moment in which you fight against fate.

You Xi wanted to back away, but his feet revolted against his brain’s logic and took a step forward.

Qin Yuandai raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that and walked firmly towards You Xi. He stretched out his right hand, pressed against You Xi’s head, and took him firmly into his arms. Like a violent storm, Qin Yuandai’s breath blew onto his face, and You Xi’s mind went blank.

He would never forget this kiss for the rest of his life.

Arousal, fear, thrill, excitement. You Xi felt like he was having a heart attack.

But there was no pain. When he kissed him, Qin Yuandai’s tall nose touched his. It was cool but not cold, with a hint of tenderness.

It was only a second, but it seemed long enough to be a lifetime, like a cosmic explosion, like the solitude of the galaxy.

You Xi opened his eyes, and Qin Yuandai had already released him.

“Ding– Congratulations to the players for beating the game!”

“Blessed marriage, ten thousand years at a glance!” 2

“The clearance level was S-rank and the instance boss was cleared, so players are specially rewarded 10 minutes of free instance exploration. Reward items are randomly dropped, and everyone who sees it gets a share!”

”

”

“Celebrate everywhere, ah, celebrate everywhere!” In 003’s live broadcasting room, excited fans spent a lot of money to buy fireworks. After blowing up the entire room into smoke and mist, they weren’t satisfied, so they went next door to 004’s to continue playing.

Fans raised their arms and cheered: “Dai-ge’s first kiss happened on screen! Laughing, crying! I can’t calm down even after writing a review 100 times!”

003 was a tree with deep roots in the escape game. Although passersby were few, compared to the newly promoted 004, he had many more fans. Fans of 003 rushed to the live broadcasting room of 004 and brought all kinds of gifts. But in this case, this behavior of forcing a CP made Zhuang Bi Zhe Kan Xiao Niao very uncomfortable.

“What about Dai-sao, Dai-sao,3 doesn’t anyone see that our 004 wasn’t willing at all? Zhuang Bi Zhe Kan Xiao Niao pressed his keyboard angrily. “003 was putting himself at risk and dragged 004 to do such a dangerous thing. He risked his own fate to save his brother Liu Yu, so why wouldn’t he take into account 004, ah!”

“Scum man 003! 003 fans get out!” Zhuang Bi Zhe Kan Xiao Niao was filled with indignation. “Our 004 and 003 are not the same!”

Zhuang Bi Zhe Kan Xiao Niao’s comment was deleted by an administrator before it was sent.

But the comment area had become noisy.

003’s fans were just starting to be excited when they were doused by 004’s fans. Although they realized their actions were wrong, they still felt upset after spending money. It was inevitable they would feel like it was unfair. 004’s fans thought that Qin Yuandai didn’t respect others, but he was a hero. Their 004 also took the risk, ah, so why was he the hero’s beauty.

Although 004 was indeed a beauty, he wasn’t a bully like 003!

During the argument, Qin Yuandai abandoned You Xi in the game and ran to the sports storage room to find his good brother. You Xi stood alone in the hall, forlorn.

004’s fans completely blew up.

Seeing that their idol was wrong, they were tempted by Zhuang Bi Zhe Kan Xiao Niao, and each of them became sharp-billed birds, chattering and pecking at 003’s fans–

“Does 003 regard our 004 as a tool? Hurry up, you stubborn powder fans, you aren’t welcome here!”

“Throw it away after you use it? Bastard! Plus he didn’t even add 004 as a friend!”

“Who wants to celebrate with 003, apologize 003!”

003 fans saw the situation take a turn for the worst, and all of them were conflicted. But they did make a mistake, Dai-ge really didn’t do that thing genuinely, ah!

“This, this…” 003’s fans steadily retreated. Only a few fans who didn’t want to believe the facts stubbornly stayed in 004’s live broadcasting room, hoping the situation would be reversed.

Their expectations were not disappointed.

When 004 turned and left the hall, the camera caught his back, and some sharp-eyed fans immediately noticed the abnormality.

“Yi? There’s a talisman on 004’s back!” Wo Wei Dai-ge Chikuang Rou Rou Yanjing took a picture and clicked to enlarge it. After studying it for a long time, they were shocked and slammed on the keyboard. “Hell! This is the premium talisman Dai-ge got when he cleared The Hell of Desperation, right?!”

The Hell of Desperation instance, a nightmare for thousands of players. In the past, players have unfortunately went to The Hell of Desperation, which was a life of nine deaths. 4 The survival rate for ordinary instances was about 20%, but the survival rate for The Hell of Desperation was only 1%. It was common for entire teams of players to be destroyed, where only one of them can survive.

But Qin Yuandai completely turned that situation around. He took Liu Yu into Hell and killed the demon boss with one final move. Along with half of his team members, he was reborn in blood. That was enough for them to be recounted in the annals of clearance history. It not only promoted Liu Yu from a B-level player to an A-level player, but also greatly reduced the difficulty for future players looking to clear the instance.

For that reason, the game system generously gifted Qin Yuandai a life–

A premium talisman, it would return you back to life!

Even for someone as strong as Qin Yuandai, he had to play for over a year to get such a talisman.

Almost all of the escape game’s players had heard of it. It was priceless and singular masterpiece. No one dared to fight him for it.

It’s not that Qin Yuandai’s power made such daredevils retreat, but the talisman had a special attribute. It could only be given away willingly by the owner; he couldn’t be killed for the treasure. Just imagine a thief trying to kill the owner of the talisman, and the talisman spontaneously ignites, returning the owner to back to life… The picture was enough to make someone cough up blood.

Why bother to hurt others and put yourself at a disadvantage?

“Who dared to scold our 003 again?” The fans returned after hearing the news, full of confidence. “The bride price is here! Except for our Dai-ge, who could provide a more rich and practical bride price than this? Who can get married? Our Dai-ge is good!”
