155 Glutinous Rice’s Instincts (1/2)
Aside from the sects, forces of power, and guilds that had been chasing after fame paying close attention to Happy's actions in Zhengzhou, there was also a small group of people who had been very attentive and worried about his situation.
Among them were numerous students from the University of South China.
South China Martial Arts Ranking Board would deliver many of the events that happened in the game to its members in a timely manner. Since Happy, who was a student of the University of South China, had managed to enter the Famous People Ranking Board on the World of Martial Arts Secret News Log, it was only natural that he could not escape from everyone's sight!
Even though many people criticized Happy for retaining his mysteriousness and not revealing his real identity, they felt very proud when a university mate of theirs was so successful in the game.
It was especially so when they learned that Happy had snatched a brocade box that all the players dreamed of getting in the game, and he had even toyed around with a large group of martial artists with his intellect and resourcefulness. Because of it, they held great admiration for him.
They also became even more curious about Happy's real identity.
This was especially the case for Phoenix Dances in Beautiful Robes, who was the master of Beautiful Robes faction. When she remembered that their nameless faction would have such a powerful player join them, she became even more confident when she organized the various internal matters within the sect.
”Sister Phoenix Dances, I'd like to ask you something.”
”Hmm?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”When do you think Happy will join us?” The pleasant voice paused for a moment before adding more words in anger. ”The sects in the city are still suppressing us. Hmph, I really can't wait for Happy to join us. At that time, I'd like to see whether the others will still dare to assume airs in front of us. Hmph!”
The person who spoke was another swordswoman from the University of South China, Glutinous Rice, who had become pretty close with Phoenix Dances with Beautiful Robes!
Glutinous Rice had some freckles on her face, which made her especially similar to the girl-next-door who looked pretty and was quiet. She was very adorable, and at that moment, her face was full of excitement and anticipation as she grumbled.
The anger that made her gnash her teeth at Happy during the martial arts tournament could no longer be found. It was a transformation that had occurred when Happy had stunned Orochimaru while being below the stage.
Even Phoenix Dances in Beautiful Robes had teased her for a period of time and asked her whether love had been born of her hate toward Happy.
Of course, when Glutinous Rice heard this, she had cursed Happy in a show of good cooperation. She degraded him until he was worth nothing, as if she was worried that others would mistake her for being fond of him.
Just like usual, Phoenix Dances in Beautiful Robes sucked in a deep breath after hearing her words. She seemed to be slightly absent-minded.
”Who knows? He is far too good at keeping secrets. I asked different girls from different majors, and there is no one who uses Happy as their QQ ID, MSN ID, or ID in the forums. The Three Lonely Wolves won't tell me about it either, for some reason.”
When she said it, she could not help the enraged expression that came onto her face.
No matter what, she was still a popular figure in the University of South China. Forget the students, even the lecturers never rejected any of her requests, but when it came to those people, she had run into a brick wall. She did not know why she was so unlucky when it came to them.
When she saw the change in Phoenix Dances, Glutinous Rice's lively black eyes sparkled. A thought struck at that moment, and she reminded Phoenix Dances quietly, ”I heard that two new people have been added to the group of developers for South China Martial Arts Ranking Board…”
”I know.” Phoenix Dances nodded. ”One of them is the Three Lonely Wolves' dormmate, a nerd who's really good at studying. The other one is the princess of the Computer Engineering Department, Xu Xin.”
”Chen Kaixin, his given name sounds identical to the Chinese characters for Happy, you know?” Glutinous Rice stared at Phoenix Dances to observe her reaction.
”That nerd?” Phoenix Dances could not help but laugh while shaking her head. ”Impossible.”
”Why?”
”In truth, the people from the Computer Engineering Department suspected him far earlier than we did, but according to the words of his coursemates, ever since Chen Kaixin joined the university, he has never played any games and only knows how to study. He's really good at it, but people who don't have any experience in VR games like him won't be able to reach Happy's level.”
”But he…” Glutinous Rice still wanted to say something.
Phoenix Dances seemed to know what she wanted to say, so she smiled at her. ”He seems to have taken a holiday because of Xu Xin. Right now, he's very close to her, so it's impossible for him to let go of this chance and play a game instead. Anyway, it's impossible for that nerd to be the Happy in the game! Regardless of his appearance, temperament, or anything else, they don't match at all!”
”Oh.” Glutinous Rice nodded quietly, but she did not quite agree with Phoenix Dances' argument. She remembered that Happy's appearance had overlapped slightly with that nerd's during the few times she saw him in the cafeteria.
However, when Phoenix Dances said those things, it truly did not seem quite possible for Chen Kaixin to be Happy.
A nerd who only knew how to study every single day and did not touch games at all… was indeed very nerdy. It should be impossible for such a person to become so successful in the game in such a short period of time. Happy was practically the most powerful player of their generation!
