What’s going on?! Is it taking effect this quickly?!
I had just helped Feifei defy the heavens to change her fate, and then I turned around to find such a handsome guy? It hasn’t even been five minutes, right?
"No way?!" Taozi and Jiang Huanyu were completely dumbfounded. It was way too miraculous, right?!
"Feifei, Feifei..." Jiang Huanyu reached out and waved his hand in front of Feifei’s face, "Hey, have you gone stupid with awe? What are you doing? Stop being so infatuated!"
"Ah? Oh, nothing, I’m fine!" Feifei, who was usually quite cheerful and outgoing, surprisingly became shy. She blushed, lowered her head, and said softly, "He’s... He’s exactly my type..."
Well, it looked was a done deal!
Wang Hao could tell from her expression, and Long Yi likewise couldn’t take his eyes off Feifei, "Brother Hao, is... is this your friend?"
"Long Yi, how come you’re here?" Wang Hao looked at him curiously, deliberately not spilling the beans, "I’m just here with some friends to hit the gym. What’s up with you?"
"Ah, nothing much. I just came to check out the place, thinking about getting a gym membership." Long Yi couldn’t help himself, asking first, "And these people are...?"
"Come, come, let me introduce you," Wang Hao made a grand gesture to introduce Feifei to Long Yi first, "This is Feifei, my... um, friend." Then he introduced Long Yi to Feifei, "Liu Jinhua, online name Long Yi, he’s one of my good buddies."
"You... hello," Feifei, clutching the hem of her clothes, said quietly, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me..."
"Hello," Long Yi, who was usually quite playful, also seemed embarrassed, "Um... um, do you have WeChat or something? Can I add you as a friend?"
Wang Hao, Jiang Huanyu, and Taozi glanced at each other and held back their laughter—this was a clear case of love at first sight!
Truth be told, Jiang Huanyu was definitely prettier than Feifei, but Long Yi’s first attraction upon meeting her was to Feifei. What did that tell you? It meant that when fate comes knocking, you simply can’t stop it!
After the two added each other on WeChat, Long Yi was finally satisfied.
After all, today wasn’t exactly a blind date scene. Long Yi coughed to remind himself why he was there. On seeing Brother Hao, the first thing that should come to mind had to be gaming, right?!
"Brother Hao, I just happened to run into you today, and you’ve got to help me out!" Long Yi said as he immediately pulled out his phone, "I’ve been playing a new game recently and getting absolutely destroyed in it! Brother Hao, you’ve got to back me up!"
Jiang Huanyu: "...". So he’s a homebody gamer?
Taozi: "...". This kind of guy...
Meanwhile, Feifei perked up, "A game? A mobile game?"
"What game is it?" Wang Hao took his phone for a look and inquired, "You’re not playing Chaotic World anymore?"
"Still playing it, but not as obsessively," Long Yi said with a smile, "After all, it’s more comfortable to play games on mobile. This game’s been really popular lately; take a look, Brother Hao. It’s called ’Sealing Demon Master’."
Sealing Demon Master?
Wang Hao took the phone and had a look. Sure, the game had simple graphics; he flipped through it and thought, it rather resembled the Onmyoji game from his previous life.
It seemed like the people in this world had some interesting ideas about games. Chaotic World was similar to the game Legend, and while Sealing Demon Master might not be as fantastic as Onmyoji, you could tell that the underlying gaming concept was similar. It was also a hero development type of game.
"The game looks pretty good," Wang Hao said after looking at it for a while. He hadn’t even asked Long Yi what the issue was when Feifei on the side suddenly was astonished!
"Sealing Demon Master! You play this game too?" Feifei asked eagerly, "I’m also playing it, look, look!"
She too pulled out her phone, and Jiangjiang and Taozi were both stunned!
Could they actually encounter a fellow gamer here?!
"Ah? You play this too?" This was truly an unexpected surprise for Long Yi. He stared at Feifei, dumbfounded, and asked, "Which district are you in?"
"I’m in District 32," Feifei responded. "What about you?"
Long Yi: "Me too! Which guild are you from?"
Feifei: "The Freedom in Love guild. You?"
Long Yi: "I’m in that one too, heavens! What’s your nickname?"
Feifei: "I’m I Want to Fall in Love."
Long Yi: "I’m Please, Heaven, Gift Me a Chick! I can’t believe we’re meeting here!"
The two chattered away as if they’d found long-lost relatives. Wang Hao and the others were completely blown away!
Good heavens and earth! What level of destiny-defying luck is this?! They’ve just made the change and already found their soulmate! The appearance is just the type they like, they seem well-matched in terms of family background, and now, damn it, they’re even in the same guild in a game?!
At that moment, Wang Hao felt like getting them a couple of beers and a plate of peanuts and cocktail sausages. They’d surely drink until they couldn’t anymore!
"Cough, cough, cough," Wang Hao coughed. "So, what’s the big news?"
"Ah, it’s ," Long Yi obviously blushed, glancing at Feifei before speaking. "You know this game is about character development, but I just can’t draw any good cards. Brother Hao... you know what I mean, hehe!"
Damn, this kid sure knows when to pick his moments. Every time he gets involved in a game with us, he seems to run into good luck...
"Hey, Jiangjiang," Taozi whispered to Jiang Huanyu, "Does the Master... know how to do this too? What’s this card drawing about?"
"The heroes in this game are ranked in seven tiers," Feifei whispered back, "D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, with SSS being the most powerful. Once you have one of those, you’re set! I’ve seen it—someone’s team of level 60 heroes got decimated by a single level 55 SSS tier hero without a chance to fight back!"
"Is it that impressive?" Jiangjiang asked her. "Do you have any good heroes?"
"Nope," Feifei shook her head like a rattle-drum. "The best I’ve got is an S-tier hero, which is already pretty good. SS and SSS tiers are scarce throughout the entire server; they’re the kind of things you stumble upon but can’t seek out!"
Jiang Huanyu and Taozi looked at each other, then both took out their phones and said, "Let’s hop into the game too and see. It would be great if the Master could draw an S tier today, right?"
"That’s right," Feifei said. "Drawing an SSS tier hero is nearly impossible. There are hardly any players with an SSS tier hero on the whole server, and I’ve heard an account with an SSS hero can go for tens of thousands now!"
While they were discussing softly on their side, Wang Hao was looking at his phone screen and opened the hero recruitment interface, asking, "Card draw, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Long Yi nodded vigorously. "That’s it!"
"Alright," Wang Hao said without a second word and tapped the summon button. "Let’s go, let’s try one draw first!"
