Chapter 4

Half-past one in the morning, Warring States game forum.

Subject: “There is a list of the couple’s comprehensive heart rate in the ‘Tie the knot’ game area! Have you seen it?”

“RT, the landlord didn’t go to join the fun. Are there any friends on the list?”

“I just found a husband, and it’s really easy to get along with him. I went to look at the ranking, and we are already in the top 100. We are very happy.”

“Wait a minute! Did I just see Meng Bu Meng on the rankings??? And he is married to… the Emperor of Qi State???”

“Shit! I saw it too! Meng Bu Meng and the Emperor of Qi State?! Furthermore, didn’t Meng Bu Meng originally follow Mu Yi Cheng Zhou to be the enemy of Qi State?!”

“It’s Qin State who is the enemy of Qi State, Mu Yi Cheng Zhou and Meng Bu Meng have already rebelled and left Qin State. What do the grievances between Qi and Qin have to do with the relationship of the two of them…”

“Wow, I feel the smell of conspiracy. Meng Bu Meng has fallen out with Qin. Qin State and Qi State have always been against each other, and now Meng Bu Meng is married to the emperor of Qi…”

“This, this Mu Yi Cheng Zhou pushed Meng Bu Meng to marry the Emperor of Qi State? So exciting!”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, Meng Bu Meng is not together with Mu Yi Cheng Zhou. I refuse to accept it!!!!”

“I remember Meng Bu Meng was quite ugly, right…”

“Isn’t it easy to have plastic surgery and become a handsome man or a beautiful woman in the game? It’s obvious that Meng Bu Meng deliberately adjusted like this. Maybe the Emperor of Qi State thinks it’s cute. Both are in sixth place, damn!”

“Returning to our main topic, although I haven’t really heard of the two in the first place, their heart rate value is so high that I’m a little dumbstruck…”

……

Because of Le Han’s fancy splits, Qi Xun was gasping for breath. He changed from covering his lips with one hand to two hands. He utterly gave up struggling and let his heart rate accelerate. His eyes twinkled, and he thought about his life for the first time.

Suddenly, Le Han received a communication application. He clicked on the control panel and found that it was a call request from Zhao Yifei. After connecting, Zhao Yifei’s shocked voice sounded in his ears, “Le Han, are you already married!? There is a heart value ranking in the ‘Tie the knot’ game area, and I see you in the first place!”

When receiving voice communications in the game, unless the voice call state is adjusted to play out, only the player who received the call can hear it.

Le Han glanced at the heart rate progress bar on top of Qi Xun’s head. It was already 320, and he estimated that his heartbeat was about the same. That is to say, the comprehensive heart rate of the two should be close to that value. He couldn’t help but wipe the sweat on his forehead, “Well, we were just studying ways to improve our heart rate.”

Zhao Yifei’s tone was complicated, “Then… how is the husband that you found?”

In fact, when he knew that Le Han wanted to go to the ‘Tie the knot’ game area, Zhao Yifei had advised him many times.

He knew that Le Han wanted to fall in love, and he also understood that some people are desperate for love.

In a certain way, Le Han has been treated viciously in reality because of his sexual orientation and personality, and he can still keep such a heart yearning for love. Zhao Yifei really thinks it’s not easy, but it’s also very good.

However, the original intention for creating the ‘Tie the knot’ game area is lacking in moral principles. He is really worried that Le Han will meet a scum.

But when Le Han heard what was said, he and Qi Xun looked at each other; Le Han pulled the corner of his clothes that was hanging on with his hand and said in a shy voice, “He, he is very good…”

Qi Xun slowly closed his eyes. It’s over. He is done for.

What was he thinking about a moment ago? Who is the one that couldn’t make his heartbeat rise that easily?

It was another unexpected accident.

Qi Xun was just unable to look straight at his current heartbeat value.

He has no eyes to see how much his heart rate value is now. Anyway, it is definitely a number sufficient to make him reflect on life.

Since he was born, Qi Xun has admitted that he is a flagpole. He has never thought that he might actually be a mosquito coil…

After thinking about it, he opened his eyes. When he looked at the boy in front of him again, the meaning in his eyes had changed a lot.

Le Han was still listening to Zhao Yifei saying, “Well, if you have any problems, you can tell me. In any case, I got the rank of an emperor; it’s easy to deal with a novice.”

Le Han thought: Zhan Ge is a trumpet, but maybe the main character is a big shot.

However, he felt that there should be no need for Zhao Yifei to fight for him, so he didn’t talk about the principal and alternate characters and just said, “I know, thank you.”

After hanging up the call, Le Han sat down on the stool and said happily, “I heard that we are number one in the ranking of husband and wife’s comprehensive heart rate!”

Hearing this, Qi Xun put down his hands, “Out of all the rankings?”

“M-hm!”

Both of them opened the control panel and entered the forum.

All the rankings of the Warring States game are in an especial area of the forum. Usually, the comprehensive strength ranking is the one that gets the most attention. And tonight, everyone is focused on the list of the combined heart rate of husband and wife.

They saw the first place, which had the two big names, ‘Gua Gua Gu and Zhan Ge.’

Le Han had a sense of accomplishment and glanced at the man opposite happily. At this moment, his heart was still quite satisfied.

Looking down the charts, he was a little surprised to see ‘Meng Bu Meng and Lu Jiao.’

He obviously knows both of them. As a matter of fact, the players who can get the position of the emperor of a country in the Warring States game are known by everyone. Although not everyone knows their appearance, their names are basically known by everyone.

As the current emperor of Qi State, Lu Jiao is naturally popular.

Meng Bu Meng is famous because he used to be the general of the Qin State, the largest country in the Warring States game. And he is also a good brother with Mu Yi Cheng Zhou, the former Prime Minister of the Qin State. Both are very powerful, and their individual strength is in the top ten of the comprehensive strength list. When they join hands, there are really few cities they can’t attack.

Meng Bu Meng is a particularly ugly-looking virtual character, but people with IQ online can tell that it was deliberate. With that deliberately adjusted ugly face and the online name of ‘Meng Bu Meng,’ he plays the phrase ‘Need a spanking’ to the extreme.

Mu Yi Cheng Zhou is confident, handsome, noble, and elegant, which completely meets the fantasy of any player who had a girlish heart or a boyish heart. The people in the game forum even gave Mu Yi Cheng Zhou a title right away, called ‘Warring States Peerless.’

Of course… Mu Yi Cheng Zhou himself rejected this title. It is said that a male player deliberately called him this way in front of him to provoke, as a result, he killed him mercilessly over and over again.

And half a year ago, it is said that because the princess of the Qin State was so annoying that he could not bear it anymore, Mu Yi Cheng Zhou submitted a letter of treason, and with Meng Bu Meng and some other Qin players, he defected from the Qin State and formed the Mu Meng army.

According to the rules of the Warring States game, as long as the rebels can keep a city, win ten battles, and expand the number to 10,000, they can formally establish a nation – and so can the volunteer army. The difference between the volunteer army and the rebel army lies in the number of ordinary peasants in the team when they first submitted the letter of rebellion or defection. As to how the number of peasants affects the strength of the whole team, that’s more complicated and it needs careful consideration. Anyway, this kind of fight has nothing to do with Le Han –no, it’s because the main character doesn’t fight, and he is a melon eater who only farms.

Because Mu Yi Cheng Zhou and Meng Bu Meng are so famous and worshipped by so many people, even if Le Han doesn’t pay attention to them, he can always see their news on the front page of the forum.

It is said that the number of the Mu Meng army has already exceeded 10,000. They have fought eight battles and won eight victories, and the eight cities they have conquered have been firmly guarded so far. In other words, if they win two more fights, they can formally establish a nation. By that time, Mu Yi Cheng Zhou will become the emperor of the new country.

Meng Bu Meng suddenly went to the ‘Tie the knot’ game area, and he even married the emperor of Qi State. It’s a jaw drop for everyone.

No one believes this is a coincidence. Even Le Han doubts whether the two people actually had something before. This time, going to the ‘Tie the knot’ game area is just purely a high-profile show of affection.

While he was thinking about it, Qi Xun’s gaze was also on the names of Meng Bu Meng and Lu Jiao. There was a flash of consternation in his eyes, but it soon dissipated, and he began to ponder.

At this moment, Zhou Yao sent a voice application.

Qi Xun took a look at Le Han, answered the call, and heard Zhou Yao’s voice in his ear, “Brother Qi, I’m sorry. I didn’t notice your messages! I was scared to death when someone uncovered my veil just now! Wow, you can’t guess who lifted my veil! It’s Lu Jiao! It’s Lu Jiao of Qi State, I’m stunned! I never knew Lu Jiao was gay! Just now he came up to me without saying a word and lifted my red veil. I thought it was you. How can there be such a person without communication in advance! And that guy is a monster, it’s horrible. Brother Qi, let me tell you that he even praised me for being cute! I have been in this game with this face for three years, it’s the first time that someone praised me as cute. I didn’t even think that Lu Jiao always thought I was cute, shit…”

Zhou Yao complained, and his voice trembled again, “Do you know what the weirdest thing is? I just stayed with him for a while; why am I so excited? That heartbeat value thing keeps going up, and I’m so flustered. Brother Qi, tell me, what’s the matter with me…”

Qi Xun rubbed his eyes, looked at the boy who was holding his chin in both hands. The boy was well-behaved and was obediently looking at him as he talked on the phone.

When their eyes met, the boy laughed “he, he” at him.

Qi Xun: “… …”

No, that’s what happened…

Zhou Yao complained for a long time, seeing that Qi Xun didn’t reply, he stopped talking and asked, “…Brother Qi, what are you doing now?”

Qi Xun said slowly, “Originally, I should be beating you at this time.”

Zhou Yao: “???”

Zhou Yai said in a weak voice, “…What did I do?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ‘fucked’ and said, “Wait, Brother Qi, I just called you from the message box, but I didn’t find… When did your trumpet change its name? Zhan Ge, isn’t that the one at the top of the heart rate ranks that I saw just now?”

Zhou Yao now knew what Qi Xun’s words meant, and tremblingly said, “Brother Qi, did you meet another person with the SM props later? Yes, I’m sorry…”

“Originally, you owed me a beating,” Qi Xun said softly, “but forget it..”

Zhou Yao didn’t respond, and said cautiously, “Just… forget about it?”

The candlelight flashed in Qi Xun’s eyes. He chuckled and said, “Well, forget it.”

The author has something to say: Zhou Yao (covering his chest): I’m flustered.

Le Han (shy): I’m flustered too.

Qi Xun (puffs a cigarette): … I’m also flustered.
