NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16 - Pushing your luck
Tang Yuan tilted her head with a playful smile and said, “Let me in, please?”
Jiang Zi leaned against the doorframe with crossed arms, “Are you planning to share a bed with me?”
At the mention of this, Tang Yuan glanced nervously down the corridor. Seeing no one around, she hurriedly squeezed inside and shut the door behind her.
“I absolutely do not covet your beauty,” she declared with a solemn expression.
[Wow, beautiful, you smell so nice~]
[Can we really cuddle and sleep? Can we really share a blanket?]
[I’m not smiling, right? Otherwise, she will think I’m a pervert, hehehe~]
Jiang Zi raised an eyebrow, watching her innocent wide eyes and ‘casually’ moving further inside.
“I’ll borrow your bathroom for a bit,” Tang Yuan said as she clutched her pyjamas and headed straight for the bathroom, her tone leaving no room for debate.
Jiang Zi went along with her, sitting in a lounge chair and picking up her phone. The screen displayed an ongoing game.
[All (Cockroach Army): Lol. The other team doesn’t have a single capable player once Skyward Era is afk. The absolute advantage performance immediately equalized.]
[All (Underperforming opponents): All this free kills. Even if you dare to come, I wouldn’t dare to take it anymore.]
[Team (Caterpillar): Reported for afk.]
[Team (Stinky Tofu): Without Skyward Era, this team is trash. I’m cursing myself.]
[Team (Same): Skyward Era carried the four of us. Might as well just surrender.]
Jiang Zi skimmed through the chat records and paused at the last message from her teammate, silently typing a question mark.
[Team (Same): Damn, finally back! I want to win, Daddy!]
Jiang Zi had been casually playing with a secondary account, not expecting to find four ‘top players'(sleeping dragons and young phoenixes) in a low-level Nascent Soul match, none of whom could perform.
[Team (Skyward Era): Surrender, I’m not playing anymore.]
The Nascent soul players in this server were too weak, with a 60% failure rate even in same-level dungeons, let alone the high-level dungeons. Now, in sect matchmaking with the 5v5 infinite respawn mode, she had just afk a bit, and the opponents are slicing through them as easily as cutting vegetables, their points almost all gone.
The VP(leader) has spoken, the other teammates could only choose to remain silent.
This game is called “Immortal World” and is known for its challenging gameplay that closely mirrors the settings of immortal cultivation novels. It has become one of the most popular games in recent years. Like many games, having money translates to resources, but resources alone don’t make one strong; only through dungeons can one solidify their cultivation.
Jiang Zi had accounts in many districts, always competing for the top spot on the leaderboard, so her account, Skyward Era, was also the top player in the Nascent Soul stage.
Same team as Skyward Era: This match is guaranteed.
Current Skyward Era: Surrender.
Jiang Zi exited the game and put her phone back on the table.
After a long wait, the beauty-loving Princess finally came out of the bathroom. The pyjamas she brought were a white silk camisole dress, which was not short but accentuated her figure.
Her damp hair draped over her left shoulder, with a small wet spot on her clothes from the recent shower. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were glistening.
“Jiang Zi, where’s the hairdryer in your room?”
Jiang Zi curled her index finger slightly, lightly tracing the back of her phone. She then averted her gaze, stood up, and searched for the hairdryer.
Tang Yuan sat directly on the edge of the bed, and as Jiang Zi handed her the hairdryer, she smiled mischievously. “Can you help me, sister?”
“You’re pushing your luck.”
Despite her words, Jiang Zi moved without hesitation. She carefully parted Tang Yuan’s long hair and gently dried it.
The process of drying hair was both lengthy and dull, and Tang Yuan briefly zoned out.
“Jiang Zi, do you have confidence in taking first place in the dance competition?”
“…I’ll be counting on you.”
