Chapter 280 - Phenomenons in the Plane (2/2)
“Don’t eat if you don’t want to!” Lonemoon glared at her. In any case, I’m not the one who’s hungry.
“…” Shen Ying sighed and dug in reluctantly.
She was missing Chef for the umpteenth time since she got back!
Lonemoon scanned the stock market lazily. In just a couple of seconds, he had made several million dollars. He put aside his tablet and began to feel bored almost immediately. A life where he did not have to manage a sect or clean up someone else’s mess felt so empty.
“Do you want to play?” Shen Ying pointed at her computer screen.
Lonemoon glanced at the game and gave her a dirty look. “You want me to die with you?”
“…”
“How can someone like you, who hacks my system on a daily basis, be so sh*tty at a game?”
Shen Ying lowered her head and thought for awhile before replying, “I’m just not used to these medieval operations.”
“Medieval?”
“In the past, I always played on the Star network.”
“Star network!” Lonemoon’s heart jumped. “You’re saying that even aliens play online games.”
Shen Ying turned to glance at him. “You want to try?”
“Can… Can I?” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. As an Earthling, of course he wanted to try games from outer space. What’s more, he used to create online games for a living. When Shen Jing helped them to check their body data previously, he already felt overwhelmed by the advanced technology he was witnessing.
“Hold on, let me hack into a Star network account for you.” Shen Ying turned back to her computer screen and began tapping on her keyboard.
“…” So she always relied on hacking in order to get online?
Shen Ying tapped for a while and picked a screen from nowhere. She worked on it for awhile as the tapping continued. A moment later, she stopped.
“It’s done!” She turned around and pulled a wristband out from one of her drawers. She handed the wristband over to Lonemoon.
“What’s this?”
“A simplified lightbrain.”
Lightbrain! What is that?
Before Lonemoon could think about it any further, he took the wristband.
Immediately, his vision blurred. The next thing he knew, he was in a white space. There was nothing but white space all around him. He could not even feel the ground underneath his feet.
He’s in the game? Did he not even need to choose a name or create a character?
He looked around and found that there was not a single other person in the room. Far away, there was a black dot that seemed to be getting closer.
“Shen Ying!” Lonemoon instinctively ran toward the dot. “What kind of game-”
Before he could finish speaking, a loud roar sounded from the other side. The entire room began to tremble. Lonemoon saw the figure for what it really was – a beast. It had eight long legs and was hairless. Its mouth took up half of its entire body. From time to time, a disgusting liquid would drip from its mouth. It looked like a beast straight out from horror movies, scarier and more disgusting than any of the demonic beasts that Lonemoon had ever seen.
Holy shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!
What the hell is this?
Lonemoon’s heart fell. He was already cursing Shen Ying repeatedly inside his heart. Turning to run, he realised he was already too late. The beast was travelling way too quickly and was already about ten meters away from him by now. It was obvious that his two legs could not carry him as quickly as the beast’s eight legs could
His mind was completely blank. I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead. How the hell does this game work?
He refused to die immediately!
The beast’s sharp legs were just about to stab him. Lonemoon had no choice but to roll away and avoid the attack. He found himself directly underneath the beast. There was an ear-piercing scream as the beast opened its huge mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth. It was biting down toward Lonemoon.
Lonemoon’s heart seized. There was a familiar warmth rushing through his body. He conjured a defensive fire seal and an inferno dragon charged toward the beast, attacking it right in the mouth.
Lonemoon heard a loud cry of pain. The beast which was as huge as a hill, turned into ashes.
