Chapter 008 Forced Offline

Just as I raised the chopsticks, the phone rang again

Lan returned to the dining table and sat down, letting out a long sigh, finally managing to pass it off.

"Why should I leave?" With a glint in his eyes, Xiao Yan picked up the sword from the ground while connecting to someone's private chat channel, excitedly shouting, "Lemon Grass, come over quickly! I found a way to leave Zhu! The three of us can team up to hunt monsters together!"

Li Zhu did not want to engage in conversation, did not wish to explain, and did not want to entangle herself with him. Since this fellow was unable to comprehend even the obvious rejection and indifference from others, she had no choice but to decisively choose to exit the game, disappearing from the sight of the keen-eyed individual within seconds.

Then... could you please return the sword to me

Then Lan pressed her lips together, and an involuntary faint smile blossomed on her face

For the first time in her life, she was forcibly driven away from the training ground, yet she left without the slightest hesitation

One is already enough to endure, do we need another one

The tip of the sword hovered for several seconds at the throat of the small-eyed figure, until his gaze gradually became bewildered

The voice that came from the answering machine was still that momentary sound, but it sounded somewhat irritated: "Why haven't you come back yet? Are you out of your mind? If you hear this message, call me back immediately! Right now!"

"Hey, where are you going?" Xiao Yan, with keen eyes, noticed something was amiss and immediately gave chase

I can't believe it! Do you even know to return a call? Do you know I have been looking for you for a long time?

The steaming rice exudes a fragrant aroma, and on the table lies a plate of cucumber, shrimp, and scrambled eggs, a simple and refreshing home-cooked dish, much like her current single life

"Huh? How can she just log off like that?" Xiao Yan paused, instinctively reaching to push up the glasses on his nose, but he forgot that this was not reality. His fingers met empty air, so he had to scratch his nose instead and muttered to himself, "Could it be that she suddenly has something to attend to in real life? Never mind, I might as well level up here while waiting for her."

Bullying a fool will not bring any psychological satisfaction. After killing the zombie in front of her, she directly threw the sword on the ground: "Now you can leave"

Then you mean—" with a pair of small, bright eyes, cautiously inquiring: "Are you no longer angry?"

The cucumber was sliced into even thin pieces on the sharp edge of the knife, and a refreshing aroma quickly filled the entire room

"Get away, don't bother me!" Li Zhu retracted his sword and turned to slay the zombie

After hesitating for half a day, Lan finally decided to return the call. It wasn't that she was afraid that the guy, who was thousands of miles away, would rush back and wrestle with her on the ground like they did when they were children. Rather, she was concerned that he might report to her parents, and at that point, she could forget about having any peace. If things got more serious, she might even be ordered to go home.

Did you just make two phone calls? Lan frowned and said, "Make it brief, or I will hang up."

Dialing the international long-distance call, Na Lan lazily said, "What do you want from me?"

Not wanting to reveal any unusual emotions, Lan briefly repeated: "No time!"

You don't even have time to play for a while? Don't be like that, I just got back from a business trip and I'm still at level 48. I just got PKed by someone and felt like I was about to vomit blood. I know your skills are good, hurry up and come help me level up and take revenge!

The poor Na Lan was unaware that Xiao Yan was playing the game "Waiting for the Rabbit by the Tree" and thought that once she went online, she could shake off that idiot. At this moment, hetushu.com was in the kitchen preparing a simple dinner for herself

Deliberately dragging out time, Lan continued to eat slowly. By the time she finished her meal, washed the dishes, enjoyed a cup of freshly brewed tea, and flipped through a couple of magazine pages, an hour had just passed. Presumably, the Martian man with the bright eyes had already left, and she comfortably lay back in the gaming pod, ready to connect to the game server

Enough, you need not explain. This fellow is truly verbose, and Zhu had no choice but to interrupt him

Lan Wei was momentarily taken aback, chose to ignore it, and slowly brought a chopstick full of rice to her mouth

Are you busy with a date? Why aren't you playing the game?

Alright! He is not leaving, but she can leave, right

Very angry! So angry that I want to kill him again! But this guy is so fussy; Zhu Sheng is afraid that after killing him, he will relentlessly cling on, ultimately causing her to lose control of her emotions, leading to a sharp increase in her evil value. Therefore, she can only helplessly nod her head.

After giving up gaming for a month, she picked it up again. Although she encountered several extremely unpleasant situations as soon as she logged in, the feeling of grinding levels was still quite nice. At least her mind could be completely emptied, not constantly dwelling on the troublesome matters that had plagued her for a month. Overall, it felt quite good

If others do not offend me, I will not offend others

If he were to find out that she deleted her account, he would undoubtedly pester her with questions like an interrogator, demanding to know the reason. Although she understands that having someone who cares is a form of luck, the reality is that her brother, aside from being handsome, has a multitude of flaws. He is never reliable in his words or actions. While it may not seem apparent during their usual playful banter, when faced with real issues, she knows for certain that she cannot turn to him for comfort or advice; otherwise, the consequences would be dire. This is a truth she has concluded after twenty-two years of life.

Before she could respond, the small-eyed man continued to chatter: "Of course, if you really like this sword, I can give it to you. After all, it isn't worth much, just 5,000 taels of silver..."

Years of experience in online gaming have led Li Zhu to develop a certain habit

At this moment, the feelings in Zhu's heart could no longer be described in words. She bit her lip and made a decision in an instant

As Zhu Zhengyi thrusts his sword towards the zombie, upon hearing this statement, the speed of the sword immediately slowed down several times, nearly allowing the zombie to counter-grab it. Very well, after playing this game for so long, she had never encountered someone who, after being ambushed and killed, still had the audacity to demand their equipment back. Is he truly foolish or just pretending to be so

The food is stuck in my throat and I can't swallow it down; at this moment, how annoying it is!

Forget it, forget it. I know how your editor is when it comes to pushing for drafts, so I'll let you off this time. I'll take another beautiful girl with me to level up! In that moment, although he appeared indifferent on the surface, he was still very hurt for this only sister. Since he knew she was fine, he felt relieved and hung up the phone.

This time, it can be confirmed that Zhu is truly foolish

She does not have a penchant for PK, but if someone provokes her face to face, regardless of whether she can win or not, she never backs down. Conversely, if someone greets her with a smile, she finds it difficult to strike decisively.

"I am busy with deadlines, no time." This is the best excuse; in fact, she has just submitted her work and is preparing to take a two-month long vacation

I apologize, I misunderstood. Xiao Yan sighed in relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "I only saw you rush towards the lemongrass, and right after that, she was gone. I thought you had killed her, but just now when I ran into her in the city, she said you were just trying to help her out of a tough spot. In fact, she was killed by a zombie..."

A low-grade superior sword, 5,000 taels of silver
