Chapter 385 - The Reason (2/2)

A beautiful and charming face appeared in front of Li Dong, and he smelled a sweet scent.

“It’s you?”

Li Dong was taken aback. It turned out to be the beautiful girl who had met his eyes. Why didn’t she say hello to him when she saw him?

However, when a girl took the initiative to come and meet a guy, it was normal to be a little on guard and wary. She probably observed him in secret, and judged that there was nothing wrong with him before tapping his shoulder.

“I thought you missed your stop, or perhaps you were not on this particular train. I wanted to call and ask you.” Li Dong smiled and put his phone back in his pocket. “It’s so good to see you, I’m the Commander, but… well, I’m nothing now, hehe…”

He patted the back of his head.

Mu Wanqiu blinked and then smiled. “Indeed, you’re still the same Commander from game who cares about others. How are you? You’re back to square one in the game that you’ve invested three years of effort into. I heard from Qinghai and the others that you’ve been depressed for a long time. Are you feeling better now?”

“I’m alright. It’s okay now.”

“Are you really all right?”

Mu Wanqiu leaned her head in close and stared at his face. She knew very well the Commander’s love for the game. He knew nearly all of the game’s strategies like the back of his hand. He behaved like an elite gaming enthusiast when it came to the development of technology, the combination of different types of arms and battle commands. He had written many highly practical articles on strategy. He was also very famous even among players who did not spend any money in the game.

But now he had been killed by the millions of dollars that a nouveau riche had spent in the game.

It would be strange if he were not depressed or upset. It was impossible to recover from the impact so quickly.

“I’m okay now; I’m really okay.”

Li Dong gave a sunny smile, and there was no trace of depression on his face.

Indeed, anyone would be depressed and upset for a few days when the results of three years of work in the game returned to zero. But he was a man with two spiritual pillars. They were gaming and animation, respectively. The spiritual pillar of gaming had been struck down, but there was anime to keep him company. Hence, he could still face this dismal life with a smile.

“Sigh…” Mu Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She put her hand on her chest and said, “That’s good; I feel much more at peace now that you truly seem to be better. If not, I would have died from guilt.”

He looked confused. “Guilt? What does this have to do with you?

“I have to apologize to you. You can’t play that game anymore, either. Thank you for coming to help me,” Li Dong said sincerely. “To become best friends with you all is the greatest thing that I have gained in these three years. The value of this friendship is more important than the game.”

These words caused a shock to go through her heart. And, on the contrary, they only made her feel even more guilty.

“Commander, this place is not very convenient. Let’s find a quiet place to talk. I really do have something to tell you.” The woman looked around and walked outside.

“Do you drink coffee? There is a Starbucks near my school. Why don’t I treat you to a cup of coffee?” Li Dong had prepared in advance. If Mu Wanqiu turned out to be a girl, then they would go to a cafe, and if she turned out to be a boy, then they would go to a restaurant with a unique theme for a beer or two.

“Ok.”

…

In Starbucks Cafe.

In a standalone booth.

They ordered two cups of coffee and chatted a bit.

Mu Wanqiu suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to him. She said, with a remorseful expression, “Commander, I’m so sorry. It was my mistakes that led to the destruction of the guild; your blood, sweat, and tears have come to nothing… I’m really sorry!”

Li Dong was taken aback and quickly got up. “What are you doing? You didn’t do anything wrong, why are you apologizing to me? Come on, get up!”

“Really, it’s all because of me.”

Mu Wanqiu explained: “I know the player Supreme King, who destroyed our guild, in real life. He is a student at my school, but also a second generation rich kid. He has been chasing me for two years, but I have always rejected him. He entered the game after learning that I play Homeland VR, and spent money to buy an account close to our guild. He would often send me private messages to add him as a friend, but I did not pay attention to him…

“I don’t know why he became so crazy suddenly. He topped up a lot of money into this account, bought a lot of battleships and came directly at us, so… everything is my fault. I’m sorry, Commander!”

She gave another deep bow.

What?!

Li Dong was stunned speechless.

The entire guild was destroyed because a second generation rich kid failed to get a member of the guild to be his girl.

What the f*ck was this?
