Ming Shu went offline to have a meal. By the time she came online again, it was evening.

The minute she came online, Crow messaged her.

[Crow: I thought that you didn’t dare to come!]

[Wind He Rising: I dare to do anything. It is just whether I want to or not.]

[Crow: Hmph. Impressive. Come to the arena.]

Ming Shu teleported to the arena.

Crow was already waiting in the arena. When Ming Shu appeared, Crow pressed the solo battle option.

Ming Shu accepted the battle. The two of them stood in the arena.

The arena was just a huge space where players could throw skills and fight with each other.

Other players gathered outside the arena and watched them.

At the start, Crow gained the upper hand. Crow was a magician. Magicians were long-ranged attackers.

Ming Shu was a swordsman. Swordsmen were known for their close combat skills.

Very soon, the tides were turned.

This was not a keyboard game that only relied on hand speed and wifi speed.

In a holographic game, the physical quality of a person was important. People who had better physical quality had an advantage in the game.

Ming Shu was so fast, Crow couldn’t see her at all.

His attacks did not land.

In the end, Crow blindly attacked the air. He couldn’t see Ming Shu. Even if he could, he couldn’t aim at her.

[Wind He Rising Won]

The system announced the results.

The audience outside sighed.

Those who shouted loudly at the start turned quiet.

As expected of the Wind God.

[Wind He Rising: I am not being arrogant, but killing you is as easy as killing an ant.]

[…]

Although you are powerful, it is not right for you to be so proud!

Beat him!

Ming Shu was invited to battle by many people. She chose one and accepted the request.

[Wind He Rising: There is no need to hurry. Line up properly. I will beat you all up one by one.]

[…] Beat him to death.

[Crow: Wind He Rising, you are very powerful, but you are not the only powerful player in Asking Gods. You will meet the real experts in the autumn season’s contests.]

Crow lost, but he was still angry.

[Wind He Rising: So what if I meet them?]

No one replied to her for a long time.

Her casual tone made the other players feel that she didn’t care at all.

[Crow: We shall see if you can continue being arrogant in the autumn season’s contests.]

Team HS and Team Phoenix were powerful teams.

[Wind He Rising: I will try my best to stay arrogant until the end so that I will not disappoint you~~]

Ming Shu purposely put tildes at the end of her sentence.

Many players were furious, including Crow.

Si Chen stood among the crowd. He looked at the public chat and smiled.

After a while, he retracted his smile.

What was he smiling at?

What was so funny?

[You, Female Horse: Wind He Rising, are you crazy? You ¥%@#&&&&&&&;…*¥]

[Player You, Female Horse is prohibited from speaking for 24 hours.]

This announcement was taken down after a few seconds.

Yes, it was taken down.

[Player You, Female Horse will be taken to prison and undergo reformation for one month. This is a warning to other players!]

The exclamation mark at the end made the announcement seem malicious.

Before the player could react, a few prison guards appeared and dragged him away.

The other players regained their senses after some time and started a heated discussion.

“F**k! One month?”

“Did I see wrong? The official site took down an announcement?”

“This is a new function that was just added yesterday. We can delete messages that we send. However, I didn’t expect the official site to be able to retract their announcements, too.”

“The player just scolded someone. Normally, they would only keep a person in prison for one day. Why did it become one month?”

“Did something go wrong?”

“There have always been problems with holographic games. Asking Gods did not have any big problems ever since it was launched. It is acceptable that they would experience some problems now.”

The culprit, Si Chen, was slapping his own hand at the moment.

His body reacted faster than his brain.

Si Chen’s heart dropped.

Ji He… Ji He… Ji… He…

Pfft!

Why was he thinking of her!?

“Mr. Si, did you come here to look at my fighting skills?”

A face appeared in front of Si Chen. Si Chen got a shock. He took a step back. “Are you trying to scare me to death?”

The players around him had dispersed.

How long had he been standing here?

Si Chen was in a daze.

Ming Shu smiled. “Will I be able to inherit your fortune and buy snacks if I scare you to death?”

Si Chen bit his lip. “In your dreams.”

“Time to dream,” Ming Shu sighed. She then waved her hands.

Si Chen watched as she walked out of the arena.

Ming Shu suddenly turned around and walked back to him. Si Chen watched as her face got nearer. Ming Shu pecked him on the lips.

The person opposite him smiled gently. Her lips were pink like blossoms in full bloom being blown by the wind. He had the urge to continue kissing her.

“Mr. Si, goodnight.”

Ming Shu’s voice was gentle. Every single word knocked on Si Chen’s heart. His heart pounded furiously.

Si Chen disappeared.

Ming Shu looked at the place where Si Chen was at.

Had the little demon forgotten about her?

If it was like the last time, he would have confessed to her by now.

This time, he didn’t have any reaction. Not only that, he got frightened and ran away…

What happened in the last world?

Was it something to do with the Apocalypse?

Apocalypse…

Ming Shu narrowed her eyes. Her gaze was cold and dark.

After some time, Ming Shu made her normal smile.

Losing his memory was a good thing!

She could bully him.

If he regained his memories, he would act pitiful and buy snacks for her again. She would be unable to bully him then.

[…] The Guest’s thinking seemed a little weird.

If other people met with such a situation, they would be depressed and feel like giving up.

Why was the Guest excited?!

Should I show Guest some scenes of little demons fighting to calm her down?

Hence, Ming Shu suddenly saw images of little demons fighting in her mind.

Ming Shu: “…”

The Harmony System was crazy. Why did it suddenly show this to her?

Ming Shu logged out of the game. She blocked the Harmony System.

She took out Little Beastie and asked, “Where did the Apocalypse come from?”

Little Beastie was tired. It hugged Ming Shu’s finger and licked it for a moment before replying, How should I know?

“Don’t you claim to know everything?”

Little Beastie pouted.

I know everything that happened after I was born. The Apocalypse existed before I was born. How can I know where it came from? Why are you asking about the Apocalypse?

“Just asking.”

Little Beastie yawned.

You must be asking for the two-legged beast, right? I know that you don’t love me anymore!

Ming Shu threw the furious Little Beastie into a glass cup. Its colorful fur pressed against the glass and formed a small rainbow in the glass.

Trash-picker, you are dead! Little Beastie roared in anger.

Ming Shu turned the cup over. She closed in on Little Beastie and gave it a bright smile.

Little Beastie: “…”

Ahhhh!

Trash-picker, how can you do this to me!

What happened to our promise!

You scumbug!

You bad girl!
