Chapter 57: Protoss Genius (1/2)

Du Thirteen observed the expressions, and quickly left our table like lightning once he saw Lin Yixin's expression wasn't right. From childhood until now, I had never seen him so agile.

Sun Qingqing was smiling brightly and said, ”Lu Chen, you and your friend are all from Suzhou Technology?”

”Yes.” I nodded. ”But we graduated half a year ago.”

”Oh, so it's like that.”

I glanced at Lin Yixin. She was also looking at me, her brows furrowed and full of murderousness. I immediately turned and said to her roommate, ”Qingqing, the sun is so bright today...”

Sun Qingqing: ”...”

At this time, Gui Guzi came over with a cup of beer and said with a smile, ”Beauties, you don't know? Our Boss Broken Halberd was not an ordinary person back in Suzhou Technology. Remember the WCG that had been held in Shanghai three years ago? Candlelight Shadow represented South Korea in the competition and defeated three of China's Starcraft Overlords. In the end, he was slaughtered in five rounds by a student. That student was Broken Halberd, called the Protoss Genius—Night_chen!”

Sun Qingqing's mouth was wide in shock.

Lin Yixin’s expression also changed. She slowly stood up as she looked at me with her beautiful eyes full of complex emotion.

”You... you're the legendary Protoss Genius, the former captain of the Suzhou Technology team, Night_chen?” Lin Yixin bit her lip and said.

My heart shook. Should I admit it or not? Back when I was famous in the world, Lin Yixin would have been around 18 or so. A young general like me who killed the Starcraft Emperor would be an idol for young girls. Maybe she would come into my arms and warm my bed tonight...

My desires rippled for a moment.

”Yes, but that's in the past...” I waved my hand to look like it didn’t matter.

Lin Yixin's gaze was slightly confused but then brightened, being layered in murderousness like she had used the killing move ”Moon Gaze”.

My heart jumped. Not good!

In the next moment, Lin Yixin stood up and leapt toward me, her hands tightly gripping my neck as she shouted through gritted teeth, ”So you are Night_chen! Lu Chen, you bastard, I will kill you!”

”Ugh...”

The poor chair was flipped over. I leaned back against the carved window sill, Lin Yixin curled up in my arms like a small persian cat. Of course, she was a very aggressive cat.

I had an innocent expression. ”Yiyi, what are you doing?!”

Lin Yixin gritted her teeth. ”You dare to speak?!”

”I...”

Oh, I was so kind.

In less than three minutes, Lin Yixin realized. Wasn't this letting the other benefit?

Lin Yixin's beautiful face immediately turned red. She angrily gave me a punch before jumping backward.

I sat up straight, and suppressed my impulses. I said with a frown, ”What happened? Why is Yiyi so impulsive?”

Sun Qingqing took a sip of tea and giggled. ”Lu Chen, do you remember what happened after you defeated Candlelight Shadow?”

I shook my head.

Sun Qingqing said, ”Who is Candlelight Shadow? He’s the Starcraft Emperor of South Korea. A month after you defeated him, Candlelight Shadow found your address, and came to Suzhou with members of the top international team, FIRE FOX. You had already graduated and left the school team. Thus, Candlelight Shadow spent a day slaughtering Suzhou Technology's Night Team. At the time, Yiyi was the main force of the team so...”

I glanced at Lin Yixin and suddenly felt some sympathy. Candlelight Shadow had come to Suzhou. With Lin Yixin's unpracticed skill, she would have been devastated.

Sun Qingqing said, ”Yiyi would not admit defeat and lost ten rounds in a row. She lost half a month of breakfast to me. Oh, I do not bear to think about it...”

”So that is how it is...”

I thought for a moment and said with a smile, ”Really. As the saying goes, I did not kill Boren but Boren died because of me...”

Lin Yixin glared and said angrily, ”You dare to speak! You left after defeating Candlelight Shadow and left the mess for us to clean up! I... I really want to burn you as a candle!”

I laughed out loud. ”How about it? This meal is on me, as an apology to Yiyi!”

Lin Yixin weighed this, and nodded. ”Alright.”

I touched my wallet and hated myself for having ordered so many dishes moments earlier.

……

On the way home.

”Lin Yixin said she wanted to turn Broken Halberd into a candle...” Gui Guzi muttered.

Du Thirteen said, ”Little Gui, you are too dumb. How can you believe a woman's words? I feel that Beauty Lin values Lu Chen greatly, at least his strength in the game.”

As he spoke, Du Thirteen was slightly moved, and patted my shoulder. He said with a smile, ”Lu Chen, if your Beauty Lin wants to give herself to you, it would be good if our Bloody Mercenaries joined Lin Yixin's future guild!”

I shook my head decisively and said gravely, ”Thirteen, this is not possible.”
