28 At This Rate, I am Done For! (1/2)

”That… Brother Ming,” Hong Xiaofu threw Zhao Ming a meaningful gaze, ”Why not… Let's not talk about games today?”

Hong Xiaofu really did not want to mention it. After all, he was a guest, and that embarrassing history should not be mentioned in public, right? Even if one could brag, they had to allow others to do it so that they would be happy.

The problem was that Hong Xiaofu knew about the game incident, but Zhao Ming did not.

After hearing that Li He had Awakened during his gaming session, Zhao Ming became increasingly interested in his experience. He ignored Hong Xiaofu's reminders and asked anxiously, ”That… Brother He, drink up, drink up. I didn't know—what game do you play?”

”Dungeon and Warriors” Li He said excitedly, ”Not to brag, but I am pretty good when it comes to gaming as I'm quite a lucky person. There was once when I was missing a piece of a weapon, and I thought if I could find it, that would be great. And guess what? I really managed to find it in the end! Do you know that feeling when you get what you wanted? You should know, right?”

It was really Dungeon and Warriors!

Hearing that, Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, ”I know that! So that's what happened? What district are you from? I am in the northeast district!”

”Oh?” Li He was momentarily stunned when he heard that. He hesitated before laughing, ”That's the same district as me! It must be fate, absolutely fate!” He said as he tapped his chest, ”Don't worry, I will cover for you in the area. Nothing will go wrong! What is your name? Add me as a friend! I am a good member for PK!”

Hong Xiaofu was silent. At that rate, there was no way he could cover it. If they wanted to continue chatting, they were more than welcome to.

Sure enough, Zhao Ming immediately replied, ”I am Ming Ren in the game! Brother He, what about you?”

The moment he heard the name, Li He choked and spat out the beer he was drinking, ”Say again? What is your name?”

Zhao Ming looked at him in confusion, ”Ming Ren, that is the name.”

Li He fell silent. Fear overwhelmed him as he recalled the horrible incident that had happened that night. However, after thinking about it, he recalled it wasn't him who had been online that day—it had been his companion. So far, so good!

”Oh, it's you!” Li He was extremely excited, ”Ming Ren is a famous tyrant in the gaming district. He is said to be one of the players who own the best weapons in the area!” It also meant that Zhao Ming definitely came from a privileged background.It was essential to form good ties with such people.

”Oh, just like I said, I have great luck! You are treating your friends to dinner, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to meet you here!” Li He smiled as he pulled Zhao Ming closer by his neck, ”Let's keep an eye out for one another in the future! You can rest assured, I will be there for you both in and out of the game!”

Su Ying knew about Hong Xiaofu being a sidekick for Zhao Ming in the game. So she laughed and said, ”Xiaofu, don't you play the game with Zhao Ming? Is the game Dungeon and Warriors?”

She had asked the question out of pure curiosity; nonetheless, it brought the table to a silence.

Hong Xiaofu gently coughed before replying, ”Eh—yup… That's the game…”

Li He looked at Zhao Ming before turning his gaze to Hong Xiaofu. He cautiously asked, ”Brother Ming, that… Do you always have friends using your gaming ID?”

Zhao Ming's face turned aggressive, but he answered truthfully, ”Yes, I usually do not have much time to game. Brother Fu here helps me train. It's either me or him using my gaming ID. Why? Have you met him before?”

In an instant, Li He felt horrible. He was done for! The real god was sitting there right at his table! That night, he had knelt three times in a row!

”Ah, no. Nothing.” Li He chose to deny the fact. He couldn't admit it. If he had knelt right there and then, not only would he be unable to chase Su Ying, but he would also have to return home to cry!
