When Lin Wan's roommate called, she was lying in bed, grimacing in pain and unable to fall asleep. Her foot wrapped in gauze was hanging in the air, looking extremely comical.
"Lin Wan, aren't you coming home tonight?"
Ye Zi's voice on the other end of the phone sounded lazy. Apparently, she just woke up from a nap and suddenly realized Lin Wan hadn't returned yet, so she called to ask.
Lin Wan glanced at her foot. There was no way she could go back even if she wanted to... "I'm in the hospital. I probably won't be able to get out for a day or two."
Ye Zi, who was still drowsy, instantly woke up. She casually swore and raised her voice, asking, "Weren't you going to meet a net - friend? How did you end up in the hospital?"
"I sprained my ankle." Lin Wan pouted, looking pitiful.
Sure enough, Ye Zi's shrill and disgusted scream came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Wan, you're such a pig!"
Ye Zi, her college roommate and roommate during the holidays, was a tough girl who could grab a mouse and step on a cockroach with ease. At the same time, she was also a mother hen who worried about Lin Wan a great deal.
"Let me tell you, when you went out, I told you not to wear such high - heeled shoes, but you just wouldn't listen. Look, you sprained your ankle. I think you deserve it! You brought it on yourself!" Ye Zi said, then changed the tone of her voice, softening it a bit. "Which hospital are you in? I'll come to find you."
Sure enough, this chick still cared about her.
Lin Wan checked the time on her phone. It was already past twelve... She shook her head and said, "It's so late now. Don't come."
"Okay, then send me your location later. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
Lin Wan responded with a soft "um". Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she called out just as Ye Zi was about to hang up the phone. "By the way, when you come tomorrow, remember to bring my laptop."
"Even in this state, you still can't forget about playing games."
Ye Zi made a sarcastic remark and hung up the phone before Lin Wan could retort.
When the busy tone came, Lin Wan frowned deeply, and the determination in her eyes was clearly visible.
It was precisely because of this state that she had to play games. She, Lin Wan, must give this big liar a good beating in The Chronicles of Divine Martial Arts!
Her fingers quickly slid across the screen. Lin Wan opened the official app of The Chronicles of Divine Martial Arts on her phone. She clicked on "Jianghu Anecdotes" and searched for the ID of Xiaoxiao Muyu.
Scrolling down, the self - introduction on the profile page that read "A cute girl born in 1999 who loves making friends" stabbed Lin Wan's eyes.
Such a fat middle - aged man actually had the nerve to claim to be a cute girl born in 1999. This was clearly a net fraudster! A net fraudster!
At the bottom of the personal card, there were two options. The first one was to delete the friend, and the second one was to initiate a challenge. Without a second thought, Lin Wan tapped on the second option.
[System message: Do you want to send a battle invitation?]
[Yes]
[Do you want a contract battle?]
[Yes]
[Please edit the contract content.]
Her hand, which had already stopped above the option to clear everything, paused again. Finally, Lin Wan changed it to five sets of divine equipment.
[Please edit the battle time and location]
[Luqiu Mountain, the Descending Immortal Platform, 9 a.m. tomorrow.]
It occurred to her that this was the place where she had held a martial arts competition to find a husband last time...
Less than five seconds after submitting the information, Lin Wan refreshed the page. The system dinged, indicating that the other party had accepted the battle invitation. Then, the system automatically posted the battle invitation on "Jianghu Anecdotes".
"He responded quite quickly."
Lin Wan sneered coldly. Just as she was about to sit up and carefully read the gossips on "Jianghu Anecdotes", she momentarily forgot that she was still an injured person. Accidentally, she bumped into her chubby foot again, and she gritted her teeth in pain.
On the other side, Lu Zhihang, sitting in front of the computer, was stunned for a moment. He had just logged in to take a look. When he saw the system message, he casually clicked on it. Who would have thought it was a battle invitation...
Good. As expected, she was a vengeful little wildcat.
A smile appeared on Lu Zhihang's face, and the corners of his slightly upturned eyes looked a bit arrogant.
There was a rustling sound in the living room. It was probably Wang Wei coming back. He had asked Wang Wei to buy some oden just now. "My lord, here's the oden you asked for. Your humble servant has brought it back."
"Okay, coming." Lu Zhihang responded softly. He kicked his foot, and the swivel chair slid backward all the way into the living room.
Wang Wei looked up at him and couldn't help but nag with disgust, "You're not a kid anymore. You're still playing with the swivel chair." Then he pushed the oden in front of him and continued, "This stuff is not good for your health. I won't buy it for you next time."
Lu Zhihang nodded and gave a perfunctory grin. He took out the only 160 yuan in his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Wei's hand. "Errand fee."
Wang Wei glanced at the crumpled money but still grabbed it and put it away. He knew what Lu Zhihang meant. It seemed that he wanted to get rid of him.
"I'll send you tomorrow's schedule on your phone. Don't forget to check it."
Lu Zhihang nodded without even looking at him. The steam rising from the paper box made his eyes hard to open. The oden with a bit of fishy smell didn't taste very good.
When the sound of the door closing at the entrance echoed, Lu Zhihang finally slumped onto the recliner in relief. Then he kicked his feet and slid into the bedroom.
The room was pitch - black. The cold light from the computer screen shone on Lu Zhihang's face. When he logged in to The Chronicles of Divine Martial Arts, hundreds of unfamiliar messages popped up, densely covering the entire screen.
Lu Zhihang clicked on one of them. It was from an uncle born in 1985.
[Little Sister Xiaoxiao, did that shrew bully you? Do you want big brother to help you?]
Shrew...
Lu Zhihang slightly raised his eyebrows, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
The next message was from a college student born in 1997.
[Xiaoxiao, how did you provoke that female demon? Are you okay?]
Female demon...
Lu Zhihang supported his forehead and shook his head helplessly. Then he cleared all the messages with one click.
Although Longyan Jixu in the game was cold and cool, and she always acted alone whether she was slaying divine beasts or fighting people, but also...
Well, thinking about it this way, she really seemed to fit the two words "shrew" and "female demon"...
At one o'clock in the morning, the Jianghu chat window was still active. A deluge of complaints and gossips poured down like a waterfall, wave after wave.
"I told you they were just fair - weather friends. You didn't believe me and even wanted to beat me?"
"This operation is so suffocating. The world of women is really hard to understand."
"[Winking Eyes·jdp], how about we be gay?"
"Get out, you gay freak!"
Lu Zhihang smiled faintly. Just as he was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep, he took a final glance at the window and then tapped on the keyboard to reply with a question.
"By the way, does anyone know the reason why Master Longyan sent a battle invitation to Little Sister Xiaoxiao?"
[Xiaoxiao Muyu: To beat is to show love, to scold is to show affection.]
As soon as this remark was made, the Jianghu chat window instantly fell silent. Knowing that the girl was watching their every move, no one dared to say a word. After all, Xiaoxiao Muyu was ranked 23rd on the leaderboard. No one dared to provoke her...
When the Jianghu chat window on the computer was synchronized to the "Jianghu Anecdotes" on the mobile phone, Lin Wan wished she could grab the other person out and give him a good beating.
How could there be such a person who was so self - unaware and as thick - skinned as a pig?
