[Private Chat] Xiaoxi: What do you mean?
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: I thought I had made my meaning clear enough. But since you insist on playing dumb, I'll spell it out for you.
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: I want you to apologize to all my fans and friends who care about me. Because of you, some of those who care about me are also suffering so - called online violence. I want you to apologize to them.
[Private Chat] Xiaoxi: Bastard!
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: ???
Once again, the three question marks were blocked.
Looking at the three question marks on the screen, Ji Siyue was so angry that she laughed.
"She blocks people at the drop of a hat. Does she not want to hear the truth or what? People who've watched my livestreams know I'm not a trouble - maker. But if this person doesn't apologize within three days, I'll agree to her condition and meet her. Then I'll drag her back and make her apologize to you guys."
The room's moderator immediately typed a message on the public screen.
"Please don't! Who knows if she's a psycho in real life!"
Ji Siyue tilted her head and thought for a while. She still didn't think it was likely. "She's probably just a little girl who has a crush on my senior. It's no big deal."
Just as Ji Siyue was about to re - enter the dungeon, a message popped up in the team's chat list.
[Current Chat] Jin Yuanbao: Siyue, do you want to play the dungeon tonight?
[Current Chat] Jiyueji: Which dungeon?
[Current Chat] Jin Yuanbao: The system will be updated at 5 p.m. today. After the update, two new dungeons will be released. I've made an appointment with a few people. I'll take you with us. Let's secure the first kill together.
[Current Chat] Ji Siyue: Well... Master, to be honest, I don't think it'll be easy to get the first kill.
In this game, there are some amazing players called version hunters. They're usually highly skilled and well - equipped.
They'll join a team in advance and then lead the team to secure the first kill of the dungeon.
At that time, the whole server will make an announcement. Then this team will gain fame, and many people will want to join it. The team will then pay the version hunters some money.
They make money this way. If they can secure the first kill of a version, they probably won't have to work for two or three years.
[Current Chat] Jiyueji: And the people you've found must be really good, but I'm probably not up to it.
Qin Chengyao used to be a professional player. Getting the first kill is no joke. He must have found some really good people. Even if the four gods carry me, it won't be that easy.
[Current Chat] Jin Yuanbao: Just tell me if you're coming or not.
[Current Chat] Jiyueji: I'm coming!
When it was time for the livestream, Ji Siyue logged off to get some rest.
At 5 p.m. when the version was updated, she carefully read through the version update page. After reading it, she felt that this version update was a bit confusing. So she called that person.
"Senior, I feel like the changes in this update are a bit too big. The version is a bit imbalanced. These two newly released buffs are a bit too bug - like, aren't they?"
"That's exactly why we want to get the first kill. These four people are from my former team. I want to lead them to make a comeback. So we must secure the first kill of one of the two dungeons. But you don't need to feel too much pressure. All you need to do is calm down and show your true strength. Leave the rest to us."
Listening to the words on the other end of the phone, Ji Siyue was deeply shocked once again.
It turned out that this time, Qin Chengyao wanted to lead his former team members to make a comeback, which was why he wanted to get the first kill.
"But if you want to make a comeback, wouldn't it be better to use your original five - member team? I haven't had much synergy with you guys."
"We have. Didn't you play games with the four of us in the dorm before? That was synergy."
Ji Siyue: "...... Wait a minute, senior. Don't tell me the other three guys in your dorm are also on the team?"
"Didn't you figure it out after all this time?" There seemed to be a faint smile in Qin Chengyao's voice.
But Ji Siyue was shocked into silence once again.
"How could I have guessed that! And your team originally had five members. Why not use your original lineup? Wouldn't it be better to be complete?"
"We can't be complete anymore... because that person is already dead. So you're the most suitable candidate. Your position is the same as his."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Siyue calmed down again and carefully read the version guide.
Before this, she had no confidence at all. But after hearing those words, she felt full of strength.
Since there were only the four of them left, she naturally had to fill this position. But filling a position and replacing someone were ultimately different.
Ji Siyue silently said to herself in her heart: After this first - kill attempt, she would no longer be a substitute player.
That last position, not only for herself but also for the other four people, would probably always be reserved for the person who had already left.
At 6:30 p.m., the version update was officially completed.
All the players flocked to the game. There were almost 20 million players logging in at the same time. If it were an ordinary game, the server would probably have crashed already. But the amazing thing about this game company was that its server was so good that it wouldn't crash no matter how congested it was.
After Ji Siyue logged in, sure enough, there were four people waiting for her online.
[Current Chat] Doufunao: Hello, sister - in - law.
[Current Chat] Jiyueji: Hello.
This was the first time she had talked to them after knowing their real identities. She really felt strange.
But the other people stopped talking. Ji Siyue also vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy and extremely tense, as if a great battle was about to break out. This kind of oppressive atmosphere made people feel at a loss. Ji Siyue stiffened her little face.
Suddenly, Ji Siyue saw a QQ notification on her computer. She had been added to a discussion group. When she opened it, she found that there were four other people in it. One of them was Qin Chengyao. The other three unfamiliar phone numbers must belong to his three roommates.
[Come to a QQ call. Let's communicate so that we can cooperate better when we play the game later.]
