There was a strange smile on Ji Siyue's lips.
She watched the cascading barrage of comments and simply shut down the live broadcast.
It was so embarrassing. It was truly mortifying.
[System] Friend request from player Golden Treasure. Do you accept?
Ji Siyue angrily yanked off her headphones. She wanted to throw them but couldn't bear to, so she reluctantly put them back on.
What bad luck she had today! She had encountered a once - in - a - century big shot and been crushed by them.
[System] Friend request from player Golden Treasure. Do you accept?
Accept.
Ji Siyue gritted her teeth and clicked "accept". She had thought it was just a cocky kid, but it turned out to be someone who played dumb to catch others off guard.
[Friend] Golden Treasure: Be good. Call me Master.
[Friend] Jiyueji: Ahem, great god, surely you're not serious about taking me as your apprentice? You're so amazing. What use could you have for a noob like me?
[Friend] Golden Treasure: What, are you going back on your bet?
[Friend] Jiyueji: Great god, did I accidentally do something wrong to offend you? (crying)
[Friend] Golden Treasure: No, I just take a fancy to you.
[Friend] Golden Treasure: I like you and want you. That's all.
Ji Siyue, who was drinking water at that moment, almost spat it out on the computer screen when she saw this message. Had she met a pervert?
[Friend] Golden Treasure: I lost a bet with a friend and have to take on an apprentice. Your skills are not bad.
So that's how it was. Ji Siyue heaved a sigh of relief.
However, there were advantages to clinging to the thigh of a great god. Maybe if she mentioned this big shot during her live - streams in the future, she could gain more fans.
After having some rather calculating thoughts, Ji Siyue still thought the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, so she directly submitted an application to become Golden Treasure's apprentice.
[System] Golden Treasure has accepted your apprenticeship.
[Apprentice] Jiyueji: Master, please take me along!
Seeing that she had acquired a nominal master and her power level had soared, Ji Siyue beamed with joy. In the face of absolute strength, everything was negotiable.
[Master] Golden Treasure: No problem.
As she said that, Ji Siyue saw a tremor in the inventory icon in the lower - right corner. She opened it and there, at the top, was a ring. It was a rare silver - grade item!
[Master] Golden Treasure: Did you receive the ring? Consider it your apprenticeship gift.
[Apprentice] Jiyueji: It's too generous. That's not right.
Although Jiyueji coveted this silver - grade item, it still belonged to someone else.
[Master] Golden Treasure: I don't need it. I'd just break it down otherwise. Put it on.
[Master] Golden Treasure: If you're free at nine o'clock tonight, log in. I'll take you to rush through the dungeon.
After these concise words, Ji Siyue watched helplessly as her master's avatar turned gray.
Jiyueji held the ring in her hand, standing on the snow - covered mountaintop, the wind blowing, feeling a bit at a loss.
Ji Siyue silently logged out of the game, took off her headphones, spun her chair around, then threw herself onto the bed and rubbed her face against the quilt.
Was she just beaten up out of the blue and then forced to take on a master?
As Ji Siyue thought about it, she fell asleep.
In her dream, there were still Deep - Fried Cakes and Golden Treasure. This time, the two of them were ganging up on her. Then, our unfortunate Ji Siyue became the apprentice of both of them...
This absurd dream was interrupted by Ji Siyue's alarm. She opened her eyes, glanced at her phone, and immediately sprang up.
Oh no! She was going to be late for her evening class.
Ji Siyue only did live - streams on weekends. When she did live - streams, she would go back to the apartment she rented near the school. On normal days, she naturally lived in the dormitory.
Unfortunately, there was an elective course on the weekend.
Ji Siyue rushed out of the door at breakneck speed and ran to the supermarket downstairs. She could be late for the evening class, but she must have dinner.
"Why is there no chocolate milk left?"
Ji Siyue skillfully picked up a loaf of bread but couldn't find her favorite chocolate milk. She pouted. What a lousy day.
When she was about to check out, Ji Siyue turned around and bumped into someone.
She let out a yelp. Her feet stumbled and she was about to fall. Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed the person in front of her.
Coincidentally, the person in front of her also grabbed her.
"Sorry."
Ji Siyue looked up and met the eyes of the person in front of her.
She seemed to have read on her phone that Sagittarians would have a romantic encounter this week?
Ji Siyue blushed a little. Meeting a handsome guy wasn't something to be flustered about. It was mainly that she was clutching the guy's collar and he was holding her hand. The very intimate distance made even Ji Siyue, who was usually thick - skinned, feel shy.
"Ah... sorry..."
Ji Siyue coughed lightly, pretending to be very calm with an appropriate smile on her face.
She checked out and left.
She didn't even realize that she had taken someone else's chocolate milk when checking out, nor did she notice that her keys had fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, the store door was open. Otherwise, Ji Siyue might have absurdly bumped into the door.
"Don't you remember? You're still such a little fool."
Qin Chengyao picked up the keychain with a little yellow duck on the ground. His drooping eyelashes concealed a multitude of tenderness...
Ji Siyue rushed to the classroom on time and hurriedly sat down in the seat reserved by her friend Tian Cheng.
"You look like you've just finished a marathon. You're breathing so heavily!"
Tian Cheng looked at Ji Siyue, who was breathing rather loudly, and nudged her with her elbow.
"Your place isn't that far from school, is it?"
"I was just afraid of being late."
Ji Siyue caught her breath, but all she could think about was the handsome guy she had just bumped into.
He was really good - looking. At first glance, he looked like a celebrity.
"Where's the coconut juice I asked you to bring?"
Tian Cheng looked around but didn't see what she wanted on Ji Siyue.
"It's right... here..."
Ji Siyue pouted and motioned, but there was a box of chocolate milk sitting right in front of her.
"Do you think I'm color - blind or illiterate? I can tell the difference between chocolate milk and coconut juice! You didn't forget about it, did you?"
Tian Cheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Siyue suspiciously. Seeing the teacher coming in, she lowered her voice slightly.
"I think I took the wrong one with someone..."
Just thinking about how she had pretended to be calm in the supermarket, Ji Siyue thought she must have looked so stupid in the eyes of others.
She rubbed her face. Today was truly a lousy day...
In class, students always steal a little time for themselves. Ji Siyue was no exception.
Ji Siyue browsed the game forum and several game groups. Most of the posts were about forming teams for the dungeon - rushing activity tonight. Ji Siyue didn't have a fixed team. She would just form a team within the alliance during the event.
But then Ji Siyue suddenly remembered Golden Treasure. Didn't he say he would take her to rush through the dungeon?
"Hey, Siyue, I just saw Qin Chengyao outside the door!"
Tian Cheng shook Ji Siyue's arm and furtively pointed outside the door. Ji Siyue didn't know what Qin Chengyao looked like. She only heard that he was a well - known hunk in the finance department.
Out of respect for her friend, Ji Siyue looked up.
This glance was not uneventful. She saw someone familiar.
The person in the corridor looked a bit familiar! This outfit seemed to be the one she had seen in the convenience store?
Ji Siyue had a sudden realization. Oh no, it must be the guy from before following her here to get his chocolate milk!
