Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Online Gaming God VS Affectionate Disciple (Twenty-Six) Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Online Gaming God VS Affectionate Disciple (Twenty-Six) Rustling Wood was on fire!
She had been quite popular before, instantly defeating numerous players with her formidable skills and ranking first on the PK list.
This time, her fame skyrocketed because of her looks.
A PK team player who attended the players’ convention released photos of the event on the forum.
Then, everyone knew that Rustling Wood, the number one on the PK list, was not the plain character in the game, but rather an exquisitely beautiful woman.
Interestingly, before Rustling Wood’s real photos were exposed, fans of Little Building in the Smoke and Rain seemed never to consider her as a girl like Little Building in the Smoke and Rain, attacking and cursing at will.
Once the photos were released, those voices pretty much fell silent. It’s as though they suddenly realized the game’s invincible Rustling Wood was in real life a delicate and fragile girl who needed to be cherished.
Regarding this, Gu Shengyin could only say, “In this world that judges by looks, I am convinced.”
At the moment, she was doing a quest with Mountains and Rivers in One Sword.
Mountains and Rivers in One Sword never hid the fact that he was pursuing Rustling Wood.
Given that both of their actions were unreserved and their fame too widespread,
it only took a few days before everyone knew they were moving towards a real-life relationship.
Many male players who had been harboring thoughts for Rustling Wood beat their chests in frustration, envying Mountains and Rivers in One Sword for his advantage of proximity, acting swiftly. They also regretted not choosing their servers more carefully, losing the chance to get close to the goddess, and for their lack of skills to attend the players’ convention, where they might have been favored by the goddess upon meeting her in real life.
Of course, they did not know that – apart from that man – no one else would ever have the chance, for a very, very long time.
“Xiao Xiao, are you free to have lunch with me this afternoon?” came the tender voice of a man on the phone.
Gu Shengyin did not decline.
The place Mo Tingyuan chose was the restaurant where they first met.
“It was here that I saw you for the first time,” Mo Tingyuan seemed somewhat emotional.
What did it feel like for him to see Gu Shengyin back then? It was strange. Despite never having met her before, he inexplicably felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Of course, he did not approach her then; otherwise, Zhang Yang would have mocked him to no end, “What era are you living in, using such an antiquated approach?”
Latter, he gradually found himself drawn to Rustling Wood in the game. He had previously scoffed at the idea of online romance—how could one fall in love with someone miles apart based solely on online chats?
But when he fell for it himself, he understood that attraction really required no specific conditions.
Every move of Rustling Wood, her way of handling things, fascinated him.
Until the players’ convention.
No one knew the immensity of his joy when he realized that Rustling Wood was the same girl who had felt so inexplicably familiar.
“So now, have I passed the assessment?” he asked half-jokingly, placing the peeled shrimp into the dish in front of her.
Gu Shengyin felt entirely entitled to the man’s attentive service and glanced at him upon hearing the question, “You’re so-so, I guess.”
The man laughed, “Then I must strive harder.”
Gu Shengyin nodded seriously, “You should, indeed. It’s your honor to be the first to pursue me.”
Mr. Mo, who pursued someone for the first time, smiled faintly, “Yes, I’m very honored.”
