Chapter 49
Chapter 49 Guest Invites
It was hard to deny sometimes that the divergent thinking of girls was exceedingly powerful. When Zheng Xiaoguang had the idea that Bluegreen-Clad might leave without saying goodbye, she started collecting evidence for this very idea.
Bluegreen-Clad had been treating her very well but she knew little about him. What his name was, what he did for a living, which city he lived? About his real life, he never mentioned it. Of course, he never asked anything about Zheng Xiaoguang too.
It was as if he wanted to keep a distance between them—if he were to leave the game at any time and change his phone number, she would never be able to find him again and he would have nothing to do with her.
If Bluegreen-Clad were to leave without saying goodbye, would she continue playing this game?
Zheng Xiaoguang did not know why others would get addicted to this game but she would continue persisting in this game because her friends were there. If in the beginning Blooming Pear Tree, Soft-heartedness Is a Disease and Old Tomb were not around, she would not have played alone until now.
A game, its rankings and its equipment were just a thread of numbers in the game master’s eyes. The 3D characters, no matter how embellished, were just a model. The only thing different about the characters were the names above their heads—behind these characters were people of blood and flesh.
It was these people with blood and flesh that made this game interesting. People brought in new friends, from one team that grew into a family clan, into a gang. The more the merrier; if not, how different would it be from a stand-alone?
Zheng Xiaoguang was a very sentimental person. While her friends might not be many, she feels very sad for the loss of every single one of them.
For instance, Cool Names Taken by Dogs, who had not left any contact details was harshly scolded by Zheng Xiaoguang for being heartless, while she reminisced those days when they were all increasing their ranks together. However, because there were still many friends in this game, even if she was sad for a while, she could continue playing.
What if this person today was Bluegreen-Clad?
Could she bring Green Barley to the places that they had gone and then slowly forget Bluegreen-Clad?
The answer seems to be no. She liked to hug him on the Phoenix Terrace, watch the scenery with him on the maps of Shiny Sky, step on Boss, play city battles, sit on the floor, him supporting her and chatting with her…
She seemed to have fallen in love with him.
If he was no longer playing, she would be very sad. She might even quit the game so as to not feel lonely reminiscing about the past in the game.
Zheng Xiaoguang touched Green Barley, who was jumping up and down on the screen. Bluegreen-Clad used to bring them both to up-ranks, and Green Barley had also increased much experience and was already level 50, looking just like a five or six years old. She had two ponytails, wearing a red blouse, and would even follow Flowing Light, cutely calling her “dearest mum”.
“Hey, Yuanyuan, what if father left us both?”
Bluegreen-Clad had just returned, and brought back an expensive invitation. He invited Flowing Light’s team upon logging into the game, and used the couple ability to fly to her side.
Watching his cute girl follow behind Flowing Light, he clicked the mouse sign to carry Green Barley, and the system instantly changed the target that Green Barley was following into him, only hearing her cry: “Daddy”.
In the game, even though marrying and divorcing was very common, if husbands and wives had given birth to treasures, most of them would not divorce each other because the child given birth was different from a deity pet—it could not be let out in the wild or abandoned. The child would follow one of the couples for the long-term after divorce. Moreover, no matter who had asked about the child’s traits, his or her parents would be revealed.
Hence if it was a divorce, the child’s presence would be exceedingly awkward. Moreover, Shiny Sky personified maters by opening something called alimony. That party who was not responsible for the child would have to pay for the child’s expenses every month. Hence, when the feelings of both parties were not stable, if they were to marry, they would not give birth to a treasure at whim.
[Public Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: Wife, do you want to watch the “reality show” that the Shiny Sky official website has organized?
[Public Chat] Flowing Light: Yes of course, but it is too expensive, and I can’t believe it is out of stock.
It was good that she wanted to go. All his efforts were not in vain.
[Public Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: Don’t have to buy. I have an invite here. If you want to go, I’ll give it to you.
[Public Chat] Flowing Light: Ah, [drools] how do you have it?
[Team] Bluegreen-Clad: The Shiny Sky’s official website gave it to me. If you want to have it, give me an address, and I’ll mail it to you.
When this message was sent, Bluegreen-Clad felt nervous suddenly. He used the authority of his work, using the “reality show” to lure her to A city, but not knowing if this timing was right or not, whether she would harbor defenses and reject him.
Who knew that Flowing Light, under such temptation, immediately gave Bluegreen-Clad an address that could not be anymore detailed, and even added her real full name.
So she was named Zheng Xiaoguang. Bluegreen-Clad curled his lip faintly and said to her, “Send me your height, I will send your message to the Shiny Sky server. They need to collate such information in order to provide the suitable clothes for the invited players.”
Zheng Xiaoguang undoubtedly showed all her cards.
Bluegreen-Clad took down all details meticulously, and opening up QQ, sent these height measurements to Little Tan, telling him that the several fashionable clothes and doctor sects female clothings which he had personally ordered would all follow such measurements.
Little Tan, without much asking, followed all orders, carelessly assuring that the clothes would be ready in two days. This was the reason why Bluegreen-Clad brought him under his wing to be his secretary—no questions asked, with strong work ethics. He was furthermore a guy, it would not be amiss to ask him to complete tasks—no matter how late, there would be no misunderstandings.
Thinking about how Zheng Xiaoguang would be dolling up into a cute female doctor to take a series of personal photos for his collection, Bluegreen-Clad’s spirits lifted up significantly.
At this moment, Zheng Xiaoguang had been happy for a while. She asked him, “Can you still go when you have passed me the invitation?”
Shiny Sky the game operator must have seen how Bluegreen-Clad had spent so much money in the game and thus given him the invite. Of course, she wanted it very badly, but she was afraid that Bluegreen-Clad would only have that one invite. She felt that this was an opportunity—if Bluegreen-Clad had two invites, does it mean that they would be able to go together?
Bluegreen-Clad did not reply to this message immediately and so, Zheng Xiaoguang quickly added, “I saw that your phone number was also of A city’s. You must be more familiar with A city. If you would like to go, can you bring me alone too? I have no sense of direction. If I were to go alone, I might not even find the right road.”
Speaking which, she felt that she had been a bit too direct and she was afraid that Bluegreen-Clad would reject her. Because he had always been very direct in the past and did not treat her as anyone other than Flowing Light. He might not have wanted to mix reality and the virtual world. Now that she wanted to meet him, would he agree?
Zheng Xiaoguang was still in a conundrum when the team channel flashed a new message.
[Team] Bluegreen-Clad: Alright. Take the high-speed train here. I will get you at the train station.
