In this day and age, are Celestial Masters playing full-immersion online games too? And playing them so well, how are we, the specters, supposed to survive?!
Meeting Ming Li’s gaze, devoid of any emotion, the little girl in red stiffened, almost bolting.
Ming Li glanced at the livestream, her tone casual as she said, "Let's go."
The little girl in red quickly nodded and began leading Ming Li to the next level.
After taking only a couple of steps, Ming Li heard a somewhat familiar voice from behind her. It was undoubtedly the Ghost King.
"Hi! Miss! Long time no see!"
Ming Li remained expressionless, continuing forward as if she hadn't heard anything.
The Ghost King narrowed his eyes, a hint of confusion flashing within them. What was going on? Wasn't it said that young girls liked this kind of pickup line? Why was this woman showing no reaction at all? Could it be... his approach was wrong?!
Thinking this, the Ghost King, unwilling to give up, ran towards Ming Li.
Just as his hand was about to touch Ming Li’s shoulder, in the next second, his entire body was sent flying again.
The Ghost King: ...
He landed against the wall, stunned and in pain.
Ming Li squinted, murmuring to herself, "Are the NPCs these days so durable? Not bad."
The little girl in red leading the way: ... Subconsciously swallowed an invisible mouthful of saliva, feeling extremely panicked inside. Suddenly, she really wanted to finish work quickly! *Whimper*~
Behind them.
A flicker of displeasure crossed the Ghost King's eyes. For several times now, he had fallen into this woman’s hands, which made him, the Ghost King, lose face. Thus, the Ghost King decided to teach Ming Li a lesson.
This was a horror game now. He'd have that woman encounter something scary, and then he could appear as a hero saving the damsel... wouldn't certain matters then fall into place naturally...
The Ghost King thought this, a peculiar arc curving at the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, the system spoke to Ming Li, saying, "Host, the Ghost King is up to something. He wants to stage a hero-saves-the-beauty scenario to make you fall for him, hahaha!"
Ming Li: ...
Han Chen, watching Ming Li’s livestream, felt the game didn't seem scary at all, but rather a bit fun. He had someone get him a full-immersion game pod too, wanting to try it out. However, as soon as he reached the first level, he got scared and almost fainted. The reason was simple: just entering the first level, he encountered an NPC role-playing as a specter. The feeling was incredibly thrilling.
The little girl in red walked ahead, suddenly realizing the woman behind her was gone.
For some reason, the little girl in red had a bad premonition.
The system curiously asked Ming Li, "Host, what are you going to do?"
Ming Li glanced at the livestream and said casually, "Go get the male lead's halo."
The system, bewildered, nodded and remained silent.
Seeing the white figure not far ahead, Ming Li silently took out a big iron hammer, her expression very calm.
The netizens watching the livestream felt a shiver run down their spines.
Mother Tiger: Uh, what is this sister going to do?
Loneliness Sighs in Red Dust: I don't know why, but I have a feeling the gentleman ahead is going to be unlucky.
The Feeling of a Heartbeat: Wait! Where did the big iron hammer in the streamer's hand come from?
Three Parts Freshness: Honestly, I'm a bit looking forward to what happens next.
Feather Falls as Frost: Is the person in front a player or an NPC??
ps: Thanks, little darlings, for the gifts!!
