Although a bit unhappy, Lin Wan felt it was still quite early when she got back to school. It was just a little past seven.
Ye Zi was over the moon for getting the autograph and didn't say much to Lin Wan on the way.
Once back in the dorm, Ye Zi took pictures and showed off on Moments. Lin Wan sat in front of the computer as usual, lost in a daze. The anger stirred up by meeting Xiaoxiao Muyu still hadn't subsided.
She didn't know what to do at the moment. She just sat there blankly while Ye Zi let out excited screams from time to time. You could tell how excited she was just by listening.
But the sounds only made Lin Wan more irritated. She tried hard to hold back her anger.
Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Ye Zi casually asked, "Where are you going?"
"Just taking a walk," Lin Wan replied without turning back as she opened the door.
"Bring me a cup of coffee on your way back!" Ye Zi quickly shouted before the door closed. "The usual one. You know it, right?"
Lin Wan paused and sighed helplessly. "Okay. I'll bring it for you later."
"Thanks."
...
Actually, Lin Wan didn't know where to go after she left the dorm. She just felt really annoyed, and this annoyance couldn't be easily dispelled by just taking a walk. So she sat down outside a milk - tea shop.
The setting sun in the sky was golden, gilding the edges of the clouds.
Looking at it, Lin Wan suddenly thought of the laurel wreath she had just obtained in the game. The golden light really resembled it.
As she thought about it, she inevitably thought of Lu Zhihang.
Lin Wan sighed, took out her phone, and opened the game app. But her finger hesitated on the screen. Then she remembered that she already had Lu Zhihang's WeChat ID under the name of Lin Shenjianlu.
She opened WeChat, found Lu San'er, and sent a message.
Wanlin Jianshen: Are you playing the game tonight?
The message was quickly replied to. Lin Wan picked up her phone as soon as she received the message.
Lu San'er: Sure. Do you want to come? When will you be home?
Wanlin Jianshen: I'm already home. I'm a bit annoyed.
Lu San'er: What's wrong?
Wanlin Jianshen: It's nothing. Just some annoying things. I'll be okay after sitting outside for a while. When will you log in?
Lu San'er: I'll log in when you're no longer annoyed.
When Lin Wan saw this message, a warm current suddenly welled up in her heart. It was like the ice that had frozen for three months in winter suddenly melted into a gentle stream when it met the sun in July or August, flowing from her heart to every part of her body.
Lin Wan didn't reply to this message. About twenty minutes later, Lu San'er sent another message.
" How do you feel now? Still annoyed?"
Lin Wan couldn't help laughing. "Are you timing me?"
"Sort of. So are you still annoyed?"
Lin Wan carefully felt her current mood and was surprised to find that most of her almost - explosive annoyance had disappeared after just chatting with Lu Zhihang for a while!
"It's okay. Wait a bit. I'll buy a cup of coffee and go back to the dorm," Lin Wan replied cheerfully.
"Okay."
...
When Lin Wan got back to the dorm, Ye Zi had already finished taking pictures and was lying on the bed, hugging Lu Zhihang's pillow and swiping her phone. Seeing Lin Wan come in, Ye Zi took the coffee with a smile and then ignored her.
Lin Wan turned on the computer, poured herself a glass of water, and then her phone beeped.
It was a WeChat message from Lu San'er.
"I've already logged in. I'm waiting for you at the Phoenix Altar."
"Okay."
After logging into the game, Lin Wan rushed straight to the Phoenix Altar. Actually, with their current levels, they couldn't get any good equipment by grinding here. But this place had almost become their regular meeting spot in the past few days.
As soon as they met, Lu Zhihang sent a team - up request.
Lin Wan accepted it without even looking. Then she heard Lu Zhihang's smiling voice, "Are you still annoyed?"
Lin Wan thought for a while and replied, "Not really."
"Then let's do a dungeon to calm you down," Lu Zhihang said.
Lin Wan smiled. "Sure."
Lu Zhihang took Lin Wan to a max - level dungeon. The entrance was right at the Phoenix Altar. The dungeon was called Nirvana, a rather difficult one. The minimum requirement was a two - person team. It was a newly updated dungeon not long ago. Lin Wan and Xiaoxiao Muyu had tried it before, but their completion time wasn't ideal.
"About this dungeon..." Lin Wan actually didn't want to do this dungeon because of Xiaoxiao Muyu. She had lost interest in it.
"I'll be your healer. Let's try to break the two - person dungeon record," Lu Zhihang said.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment but didn't object. She was already used to Lu Zhihang's occasional bravado, and most of the time, his bravado actually led to good results.
Lin Wan switched to the assassin build. Although she became extremely vulnerable, with Lu Zhihang there, her HP was always maintained at around 10%. It was thrilling but also ensured her explosive damage output. At the same time, Lin Wan saw once again Lu Zhihang's masterful threat control.
Because her HP was so low, Lu Zhihang had to constantly heal her and buff her. Although these skills didn't directly target the mobs, they still increased his threat value. Many healers would lose threat control in such a situation, but it never happened to Lu Zhihang.
"How do you control the threat?" Lin Wan couldn't help asking after they defeated the first boss.
"It's easy. Just remember the threat value each skill adds," Lu Zhihang said casually.
"How do you know what skills I used?" Lin Wan was very surprised.
"The combat chat shows it," Lu Zhihang said nonchalantly, with a hint of a smile in his voice.
Lin Wan was stunned. This might seem like a simple thing, but only those who had actually done it knew how difficult it was. Because one had to remember not only the threat value of their own skills but also that of their teammates' skills to achieve this level of control.
This made the calculations during each battle extremely complex. Lin Wan couldn't believe that Lu Zhihang could do such calculations during the battle.
Was this even human reaction speed?!
After that, they smoothly completed the entire dungeon. Although they missed the dungeon record, Lin Wan was still very satisfied.
Playing dungeons with Lu Zhihang had an advantage that no one else could match. She didn't have to think. Lu Zhihang could always come up with easy - to - handle solutions for every situation.
