Mutated PheromonesCh39 - We are Actually Not Classmates

Editor: DarkSapphire, Sahloknir


Yue Ran went to his father’s study with his laptop again that night. c7aYqt

He looked at his father’s happy expression with an opposite expression on the inside, and a straight face on the outside, deciding on whether to reveal his cousin’s main account or not.

He was an expert on his father’s ‘potential’, and his cousin recruited his father definitely not because of that quality.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He remembered that his cousin asked him several times to inquire about his father, and probably guessed that it was Jiang Xiao’s instruction, so Jiang Xiao really wanted to pick him up?

He recalled that his cousin had asked him about his father several times. This was probably Jiang Xiao’s idea. Does that mean the senior is really courting him? tFJc e

But what about his situation? It wasn’t like his cousin didn’t know.

What kind of future could he and an alpha have?

Yue Ran was in a complicated mood, and wanted to tell Jiang Xiao that you should give up, but Jiang Xiao hadn’t confessed clearly, he ran over and said, don’t chase me, isn’t he a bit idiot?

Feeling conflicted, he wanted to tell Jiang Xiao to give up, but the senior hadn’t confessed to him. Wouldn’t he be the stupid looking one if he went to the other man directly and told him to stop chasing him?

Yue Shizhong glanced at his son. “What’s wrong?”

After a moment’s silence, Yue Ran finally disclosed, “Attired Guqin is cousin’s main account.”

It took his father two seconds to react. “Does he know that this account is me?”

He replied, “I’m not sure. He thinks you are one of my classmates.” 0PWAFz

Yue Shizhong was immediately happy. “So he really recruited me because of my potential?”

Yue Ran: “…”

No, probably because a certain someone has an ulterior motive toward your son.

Of course, Yue Shizhong didn’t know this. He smiled and patted his son’s head. “Just you wait. I’ll be an expert like you soon. Us, the father and son duo, will form a team and defeat any obstacle in our way!” xNXKy3

Yue Ran: “…”

Yue Shizhong requested, “Don’t tell Xiujie it’s me. Let me tease him first, then I’ll find a chance to tell him myself and give him a surprise.”

Yue Ran promised, “…Okay.”

As they were talking, the White Koi’s guild chat was shouting about doing instance dungeons. FdP2bw

Yue Shizhong waved his hand and let his son play by himself, and he wanted to follow his nephew to play the book. Yue Ran tried his best to support his face and let out another “oh”, picked up the computer and went back to the bedroom, and then contacted his cousin.

Yue Shizhong waved his hand, a sign of telling his son that ‘he could go play by himself’ and he would be running instance dungeons with his nephew. Yue Ran tried to maintain his straight face again and uttered an “Oh”. He took his laptop back to his bedroom and contacted his cousin.

[(Private) Dying Star: What’s up with you?]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: What’s wrong, great one, are you still angry?] JU1Sfy

[(Private) Dying Star: ???]

Qin Xiujie had a private conversation with Bai Zhengyang’s Fake Star Mie before, and he was a little confused for a moment. After sending that sentence, he realized that he didn’t add Bai Zhengyang’s friends at all on his account, and smiled helplessly.

Qin Xiujie was so used to chatting privately with the fake Dying Star or Pure White Sun, he mixed them up for a moment. It wasn’t after he sent the message that he realized he hadn’t added Pure White Sun on his main account yet, and smiled helplessly.

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Nothing, I thought you were someone else. Did you change your ID back?] tsnvw8

[(Private) Dying Star: Yes.]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: What can I do for you?]

[(Private) Dying Star: You recruited my friend.]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: He has talent.] UdysH3

[(Private) Dying Star: Continue to tell yourself that.]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Really, it was personally recommended by Tempest God, why don’t you go ask him?]

[(Private) Dying Star: He asked you to recruit him?]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: He said this player has talent. I saw the person was guildless, so I pulled the trigger first (smile).] u85pv7

Yue Ran was completely baffled.

For real?

What talent does his father have?

He didn’t know where to start venting out his unpleasant feelings. In the end, he gave a simple reply and asked his cousin to look after his friend because he still couldn’t stop feeling worried. d6q81d

Qin Xiujie readily agreed, and chatted with the new member while writing the book, the topic turned around and turned, and finally fell on Xing Mie. Yue Shizhong has always been proud of his son, and before Qin Xiujie could set him off, he took the initiative to say that he and Xing Mie were friends.

[(Party) Attired Guqin: Oh, no wonder your ID looks familiar. You spoke up for him before.]

[(Party) Anonymous Guardian: That’s right, I have a great relationship with him.] PwbRBS

[(Party) Blank: Friend in real life?]

[(Party) Anonymous Guardian: Yes, he took me levelling before.]

[(Party) Attired Guqin: With Dying Star’s temper…It’s rare that he is willing to grind levels for others.]

[(Party) BB Love: Hehe, not just friends right (evil laugh)?] yOQ26W

Yue Shizhong was stunned and suddenly realized.

It turned out the reason Xiujie recruited him into the guild was that he was too friendly with Ran Ran, so his nephew wanted to probe his underland and nip it in the bud?

Not bad, he was such a good child.

He was very satisfied and felt that Ran Ran would be well taken care of by his nephew. 1dzSyf

[(Party) Anonymous Guardian: I’m really just a friend. I already have a partner, the kind I want to accompany for a lifetime.]

[(Party) BB Love: (lemon)]

[(Party) Blank: (lemon)]

[(Party) Strongest O in Universe: (lemon)] VK2qiW

[(Party) Attired Guqin: (lemon)]

After Qin Xiujie copied and pasted the same emoji, he took a screenshot of the chat history and sent it to Jiang Xiao.

This guy had a life partner, they could finally stop being paranoid.

However, while he could rest assured on his side, Yue Shizhong thought the other side cheated him about his skill. qEswBQ

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Officer, do you really think I have talent?]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Of course, really.]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Alright, I believe you. I’ll learn from you from now on. You can teach me to become a master.]

Qin Xiujie cried, laughing so hard, and could only agree to take his uncle under his wing. BIzOwA

Yue Shizhong crooned twice and decided to tease his nephew.

While Yue Ran was completely out of the loop.

As usual, he was called to the arena room by Yue Chen tonight, thinking that he would meet Jiang Xiao, but when he went in and saw only Yue Chen was alone, he asked, “Where are they?”

Like any other day, Sunken Moon called him to an arena room that night. He thought he would meet Jiang Xiao, but instead, it was only Sunken Moon. He asked, “Where are the others?” Sw2yYP

Sunken said with a smile, “I’ll call them later. I’ve something to discuss with you first.”

Yue Ran wondered, “Go on.”

Sunken Moon asked, “The game will be holding a duo competition at the end of the year. Are you interested?”

Yue Ran questioned, “You want me to form a team with you?” l9x0Uq

Sunken Moon confirmed with a smile in his voice, “Yes, how about we win the championship together?”

Yue Ran had the intention to say yes, but the word was stuck in his throat as Jiang Xiao popped into his mind.

Jiang Xiao also mentioned this matter to him, but he ruthlessly rejected him. As a result, he turned his head and formed a group with Yue Chen… He hesitated for a few seconds, thinking about finishing Jiang Xiao’s matter first, and said, “Let me think about it.”

Jiang Xiao also mentioned this to him, which he ruthlessly refused. If he turned around and formed a party with Sunken Moon…After hesitating for a few seconds, he wanted to take care of things on Jiang Xiao’s side first and answered, “Give me time to think about it.” KBXqfd

Sunken Moon said, “Okay.”

After their short chat, they shared the room number with the other for their nightly PK.

Yueran, because of what happened tonight, most of his attention fell on Jiang Xiao, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately, Jiang Xiao treated him the same as usual, and he didn’t see the meaning of chasing people at all. Dad this time, he almost felt that he was self-indulgent.

Maybe because of what happened tonight, most of Yue Ran’s attention was on Jiang Xiao as he tried to search for even the tiniest hint. No luck so far, as Jiang Xiao was acting as normal as he could be and Yue Ran couldn’t tell if the swordsman had hidden intentions or not. If it wasn’t for his father this time around, he would have thought he was hallucinating about the other party’s interest. jQIMkG

He had to temporarily put this on hold and decided to start his clue hunting from his father.

The next morning, he asked his father about White Koi’s state of affairs. He learned that his father got along well with other members and probed, “How is the guild leader treating you?”

Yue Shizhong answered, “I haven’t seen him yet. I heard he has been busy.”

Yue Ran uttered an “Oh” as he decided to continue on observing. hcv9Bt

However, one day, two days, three days… Jiang Xiao’s attitude towards him was not the same as before. They only met at night, and only occasionally talked a few words during the day, but they were all trivial things in daily life. He even felt that his father was dragged over because of his talent.

However, the first day, second day, third day…Jiang Xiao’s attitude towards him was no different from before. They met only at night and occasionally chatted during the day, but conversation topics were all trivial things. For a moment, Yue Ran felt that his father was really recruited because of his talent.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of August.

During this period, no one came looking for Yue Ran for trouble, while Pure White Sun was pestered by his fans for several days. Until he finally removed every single article of equipment, leaving only the default underpants on his main character as he danced at the main city’s square on a livestream, things finally calmed down. aCKpW8

In the middle third of August, the tail end of the summer vacation.

Except for some freshmen, the other grades were close to starting school, while the game released its third update for this summer.

The first was the new instance dungeons with rare items, and the second was new arena maps.

And the third bullet opened a brand new competition mode called Random Competition—that is, after entering the map, the system will randomly throw players in a place instead of having a fixed refresh point. 54dagN

The third update was introducing a new competitive game mode called ‘Random Competition’—the players would be dropped at random locations by the system on the generated map, instead of having a set spawn spot.

This game mode was available for single player or as a group.

There are two types of numbers: same and random. “Same” means that two people form a team, and the enemies lined up are also two-person teams. “Random” means that the difference will not exceed three people. For example, if two people form a team, the opponent is at most A squad of five.

There were two kinds of game mode: ‘Same’ where the system would match parties with the same number. ‘Random’ where the margin of opponent numbers would not exceed three. For example, a party of two would never be matched against a party of over five. xUgiS3

In addition, the map in this game mode was often very complex. Players could hide with no issue and kill off any isolated enemy. Therefore, once the update dropped, players rushed to try out the new game mode.

The father and son naturally were among the rushing group, but they didn’t party together.

Yue Ran went on a killing spree with his guildmates the whole day. It was very thriving and addicting. On the other hand, Yue Shizhong was carried by Qin Xiujie and would always be the first to die. He was very unhappy with his nephew, so he ran to find his son in the evening.

Yue Ran declined Sunken Moon’s invitation and went to form a party with his father. First, he made adjustments to his father’s equipment before starting the match. IXzoW6

Because he was playing at ‘Random’ during the day, he forgot to change it and carelessly clicked ‘Start’.

On the other hand, Sunken Moon, who was left alone, called for Jiang Xiao, his next best option.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The two great gods naturally selected the ‘Random’. The outcome of the matchmaking was against a party of two as well, and one of the character IDs was very familiar.

Sunken Moon immediately laughed. “We were matched against Little Star. He turned down my invite to party with this Anonymous Guardian player?” 1Uj3ho

He was livestreaming right now, and the viewers immediately went wild on the stream chat.

[I call this fate, let’s go, Moon God.]

[Do I hear some vinegar in that tone?]

[Is the host jealous?] rd9xu8

[Lies, Moon God clearly belongs to Sun God!]

Sunken Moon glanced at his stream chat and said with a smile, “Such wrong accusations, all of us are just friends.”

He paused slightly and immediately changed the conversation. “Tempest, give me your location. I spotted Little Star.”

[(Party) Tempest: (23,11).] T7BdQ9

[(Party) Tempest: Don’t kill him yet, just follow.]

Sunken Moon chuckled. “I know, since we finally matched up against him. Of course, I’m going to take the time to tease him, fighting is not fun. I’ll give you our location, you can go block him ahead.”

The stream chat exploded again, many of them lighting a candle for Dying Star.

Although Yue Ran didn’t know what was happening in the livestream, he knew this match was already a loss. cyZtRs

Not only did he know, Yue Shizhong also knew, because he also saw the enemy’s message, and said in shock: “Ge Feng and Yue Shen, we are not opponents, are we?”

Not only did he know of it, but Yue Shizhong knew as well. Because the moment he saw the enemy team’s information, he dumbstruck said, “Tempest and Sunken Moon, we are not their opponents, right?”

Yue Ran uttered a “Yes”.

Yue Shizhong saw the coordinates sent by his son and quickly gathered with the youth. He asked curiously, “If you fight with them one on one, who will win?” NnLhUA

Yue Ran replied, “Fifty-fifty against Sunken Moon. My chance of losing is higher against Tempest.”

Yue Shizhong sighed, “Tempest is indeed very strong.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He glanced at the two IDs again and suddenly wanted to gossip. “How long have they been together? What is their match?”

Yue Ran was at a loss for words. “…Huh?” wkYFJ2

Yue Shizhong rephrased, “Aren’t they a couple?”

The corner of Yue Ran’s mouth twitched. “No, where did you hear that?”

Yue Shizhong replied, “From videos.”

Yue Ran understood now. “You might have watched CP videos edited by fans.” jXLuhx

Yue Shizhong didn’t believe it. “But I watched several videos back to back. They are definitely together.”

Yue Ran questioned, “…Where did you see it?”

Yue Shizhong went through his history to find the original forum and showed it to his son.

Yue Ran glanced at the three large characters at the top—Tempest Moon Zone. mBKD6j

“…” He maintained his straight face and patiently explained the forum’s true purpose to his father.

Yue Shizhong was speechless and switched back to the game client.

The next moment, he saw a blood colour flash from above.

Jiang Xiao’s alt account on the new server was an assassin. MuH1Oz

Although he knew that Anonymous Guardian had a life partner, this guy was always together with Yue Ran. It was such an eyesore to him. Since he found the other first, he planned to go ahead and kill this obstacle.

Great god VS newbie, a match without suspense.

Jiang Xiao slaughtered him without losing a single drop of blood and walked forward coldly, without giving him a glance.

Yue Ran walked in on this from the front and took in the whole scene. WxeX2

At the same time, Sunken Moon ended his tailing and came out from hiding. Tempest in the front and him in the back, surrounding the little summoner.

[(All) Sunken Moon: Little Star, single fight or group fight (smile).]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[(All) Sunken Moon: Or say something nice to us and we’ll go easy on you?]

Yue Ran, of course, didn’t answer. tzkUmj

He silently looked at his father’s unconscious body and back at Jiang Xiao, whose dismissive attitude just now left a very deep impression on him.

In what way was he a member of your guild? Couldn’t you even show the smallest amount of mercy?

Now I wonder if you made things hard for him at other times.

He stopped thinking after an idea came to mind. This was the perfect chance to investigate the senior, so he told his father he wanted to eat ice cream. rn0Bhl

Yue Shizhong went out to get the cold dessert for him without hesitation.

Yue Ran seized the time to open his and Jiang Xiao’s private chat.

[(Private) Dying Star: Is Sunken Moon streaming?]

[(Private) Tempest: Yes.] fimr3l

[(Private) Dying Star: You?]

[(Private) Tempest: I’m not.]

Yue Ran was relieved.

If Jiang Xiao wasn’t streaming, that meant no one could see their chat. FpiYzS

He continued to type.

[(Private) Dying Star: That Anonymous Guardian player…he is actually not one of my classmates.]

[(Private) Tempest: ?]

[(Private) Dying Star: He’s my dad.] 8sOK6H

[(Private) Tempest: …]

  1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Tempest: forget coaxing my mother-in-law I killed my father-in-law in game, wondering if I can still chase my wife. Waiting online. Urgent

  2. Oooh. I hope Ran Ran drags him through the coals for a bit. Give JX that cold shoulder Yu Ran!! Jealousy is not a good look.

  3. Tempest surely was proud of himself to have smashed his “rival” and then he gets told it his future-father-in-law. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

  4. Lol honestly the dad probably doesn’t care. Ranran just probing to find out his intentions. Still it’s hilarious he finally finds out he was scheming over nothing
