Chapter 372 - Clear Conscience

“I did everything for you. I know that no matter what I do for you, you won’t be satisfied! You are stubborn just like my father! Conceited and unreasonable!” LuLu started crying loudly again.

“Bad man! Bad man!” LingLing cursed at Liu Gan, while she hid behind LuLu.

“You…” Liu Gan cracked his knuckles loudly. Liu Gan lifted his fist with the intention of hitting LuLu on the head.

“Kill me then! I didn’t know you were training. I did it because I thought you were afraid of losing face if you couldn’t beat him! So to prove to you that I am no longer a weak female broadcaster, I did what I had to do!” LuLu lifted up her head as she stared Liu Gan.

“Forget it. I don’t have anything worthwhile to say to you,” Liu Gan shook his head. There was something more urgent that he had to do.

“Kill her!”

“Hang her!”

“Sacrifice her!”

“Avenge Elder Qiu Zi!”

Once again the crowd of players were getting rowdy. They felt nothing but hatred toward the invader. This nice living environment was created by their Elder Leader. Then, LuLu backstabbed their leader for her lover. This betrayal was not something they could forgive. Even the majority of LuLu’s fans were unable to accept her actions; some cursed her for her actions, while others just remained silent.

LuLu was in despair. She knew her actions would lead to a crowd riot. Yet, she still decided to do it because she wanted to save Liu Gan. Although she had undeniable intentions of getting his approval, even if the whole world hated her, she was resolved to bear all the consequences of her actions.

She was hated by almost every player in the Beginner Village, and she didn’t win over Liu Gan. This wasn’t the result she was expecting, and made her even more depressed.

While the background noise were curses directed at LuLu, she suddenly thought of an old memory back in the real world. Her father was a soldier that had suffered a injury to his lower back. He couldn’t find work, and slowly he became more dispirited. With no stable income, LuLu had to come up with a way to make money. Her psychological stress increased, which lead to her school grades falling. With no intentions of continuing on to higher education, LuLu decided to participate in singing competitions to become famous, with the good intentions of buying her father a house, and changing their lifestyle.

However, her father didn’t understand the daughter. He was reluctant to give his support. He even forbid her to continue in the entertainment business. Singing in the competition wasn’t a realistic goal, so LuLu chose an alternative, and it was to become a female broadcaster. She didn’t expect to accumulate hardcore fans in a short period of time.

When her father found out that she became a broadcaster instead, he deemed it an indecent occupation, an occupation that would shame his ancestors. Furious, he smacked her on her face and smashed all of the things she had bought. Next, he locked her in her room to reflect on her actions.

LuLu climbed out through the window by using the water pipe. From her third floor room, she escaped down to the ground. With her fan’s financial support, she was able to rent a new apartment and buy equipment. From then on, she wholeheartedly started her career as a fulltime female broadcaster. A year later, she started to gain more traction. She decided that once she had enough money, she would return to her father to ask for forgiveness. Before she was able to do that, she was trapped in The Trembling World.

The initial harsh reality in The Trembling World made her give up on any chances of living. Her one-sided love for Liu Gan was part of her self-preservation mechanism. She was able to rely on this unrealistic fantasy to cope with the harsh reality. Her very last attempt to kindle Liu Gan’s love was terminated, and so her fantasy was destroyed.

This man was definitely spawned out from a rock. Even if she used heart-throbbing sexual movements, he might remain indifferent. He would forever remain ice-cold. There was nothing she could do to warm him up to her.

Liu Gan didn’t have the mood to care for LuLu. He walked straight over to Qiu Zi’s corpse. He kicked aside a few helpers, who were preparing to pack away Qiu Zi’s equipment. Liu Gan reached out to grab the large axe in one hand and with his other hand he ripped off Qiu Zi’s clothes. Liu Gan was pillaging Qiu Zi’s corpse! Liu Gan proceeded to confiscate all the remaining valuables within the wrist watch, since Qiu Zi had no use for them, anyway.
