Fang JingXing has not encountered such tragedy in his entire lifetime. He hastily told this group of idiots to shut up. No time to bother shooing them away, he said: “Don’t log off, listen to my explanation.”
Jiang Chen nodded and activated PK mode directly.
The rain of flower petals fluttered to the ground. The fireflies weaved in the air. Like this, the aesthetically romantic scene was tainted by a murderous aura.
The cultured and refined Wardcaster took a step forward. Dark ward inscriptions condensed into physical form over his fingertips and flew right at Fang JingXing’s face. A gush of blood instantly spewed from the Abysswalker’s pale white face.
The best men group: “……”
Xie ChengYan: “……”
A second round of attacks followed up immediately, even landing a critical hit, violently exploding like a blooming flower of blood.
The best men group finally came to their senses. With a ‘fuck’, they threw away the firework sticks, swiftly separated the two people, and looked towards the Wardcaster.
“Don’t don’t don’t. Let’s talk about this.”
“It was our fault. We’re stupid. You can hit us.”
“A lot of anger hurts the body. Don’t be angry please, don’t be angry.”
Fang JingXing: “You guys, move.”
No matter how stupid the best men squad were, they still understood that they had caused trouble. Immediately, they obediently made space for the two and hid under the tree. Looking up at this time, they saw Xie ChengYan running over from the other side. Seeing their savior, the group pulled him to their side and asked in a low voice: “Just what exactly is going on here?”
Xie ChengYan said: “That’s what I wanted to ask you guys. What were you guys doing? Who told you guys that he was going to confess?”
The best men group was shocked: “He’s not?”
Xie ChengYan said: “No, how did it become a confession?”
The best men group felt a bit wronged. They explained their analysis to the Movie King: “Inviting someone here, taking out a huge pile of fireworks, and it’s not a birthday celebration, plus the fact that he said there was something he needed to tell the other, just examine it yourself, judge it carefully.”
For a moment, Xie ChengYan was speechless, unable to respond.
He actually also didn’t understand what Fang JingXing had planned with the fireworks, if he was just telling the other guy the truth.
As they spoke, a figure slammed down in front of them with a ‘bang’.
The world champion, NXK’s former team captain, the male god who had once slaughtered and tyrannized countless people in the league competitions, became a corpse just like this.
The group instantly hugged to each other tightly in horror, silent as chickens.
They watched as the Wardcaster walked over leisurely and kicked the corpse.
Fang JingXing revived on the spot and asked: “Has your anger subsided?”
Jiang Chen said: “Not at all.”
Fang JingXing accepted his fate: “Again then.”
Jiang Chen stood in place motionless.
According to his temper, he’d exact his vengeance based on how much effort he had spent yesterday guiding the ‘little newbie’ around and beating dungeons for free, then take it all back from Fang JingXing several times over.
But the prerequisite was that….. he didn’t know a certain matter.
Seeing how this guy had asked the fans for candy last night, what if the other was really together with Xie ChengYan, wouldn’t this be his nephew-in-law?
Jiang Chen didn’t have a very good temper, but he always had a lot of patience for family.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Fang JingXing wasn’re sure if he was out of his mind in fury or considering logging off and vanishing without a word. Hastily, he signaled for assistance while saying simultaneously: “Don’t leave, I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
Xie ChengYan walked up next to him and chimed in: “He’s been constantly thinking about how to tell you the truth. Really, not lying. I’m Xie ChengYan. If I lie to you, you can blacklist me all you want, no problem.”
Surprised, Jiang Chen looked towards him.
Xie ChengYan played an Assassin.
Fang JingXing picked an ID that had a similar style to Jiang Chen’s.
Jiang Chen used a skill name and set his ID as Total Annihilation. Fang JingXing basically used the first word of Abysswalker and set his ID as Abyss. Xie ChengYan, however, was not the same. He was more sophisticated than these two and set his ID as Qing Yan, the name of an assassin character that he once acted as.
Jiang Chen said: “How can you prove that you’re Xie ChengYan?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Xie ChengYan said: “How do you want me to prove it? Give you a video call?”

However, Jiang Chen couldn’t express his confirmation immediately. Instead, he said he was going to search online to verify the answer. A minute later, he finally spoke: “En, I believe you.”
As such, Xie ChengYan continued to speak up for Fang JingXing: “Actually, he was going to tell you the truth today. Just listen to his explanation for a second.”
This was the first time his nephew asked something of him, Naturally, Jiang Chen wouldn’t refuse. He nodded and looked towards Fang JingXing, waiting for this guy to speak.
Fang JingXing didn’t expect to be so successful despite everything heading down such a tragic state. Hastily seizing the chase while the other’s mood slackened, he brought Jiang Chen over to the side to talk. Explaining the whole development of the matter, as well as his own misgivings, he added in the end: “I know you don’t want to talk about playing professionally. I won’t mention it in the future. We can just play the game, alright?”
Jiang Chen gave an ‘En’.
Fang JingXing couldn’t tell if this was just a perfunctory answer. However, he felt like this kid shouldn’t be so agreeable, so he asked: “You’re not going to blacklist me, right?”
Jiang Chen gave him another ‘En’.
He took a glance at this annoying guy: “If it weren’t for Xie ChengYan today, you would have died here.”
If he had known about these two people’s relationship a day later, if Xie ChengYan weren’t present today, this guy would not have gotten off so easily.
He asked: “Are you guys childhood friends or a couple?”
Fang JingXing said: “Childhood friends.”
Jiang Chen said: “Then why were you asking for candy yesterday? You like him?”
Fang JingXing said: “No, I was just curious.”
Jiang Chen said coldly: “Oh, it was to change the conversation topic.”
Fang JingXing: “……”
Knowing that this kid was still pissed off, he said: “If you’re still displeased, I can still call you Ge in the future, how’s that?”
Jiang Chen said: “That’s still my loss.”
The childhood friend of his nephew should follow his nephew and call him Uncle as well.
Fang JingXing didn’t know the truth behind this matter. Hearing those words, he didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. He thought to himself, this kid probably wanted him to call him daddy.
Astutely changing the topic, he pointed at the fireworks on the side: “Last time you didn’t finish exploding all the fireworks. I bought a new pile. How about I climb up the tree and hang down, you can continue exploding them?”
Jiang Chen turned his head to take a look and felt this was a possibility.
However, he has always been the youngest at home. Now suddenly becoming “an elder” upon waking up, —since he lacked the intermediate experience and wisdom, plus the fact that he was still mentally and physically young in age—, he didn’t know how to be this ‘elder’.
As such, after thinking briefly, he decided to save himself the labor.
A minute later, Fang JingXing stood ready next to the tree. 20 meters in front of him, the best men group each held up two fireworks, lined up in a row in horror.
Jiang Chen sat to the side as an audience and instructed them on the usage method.
The best men group, incredulously: “You… you want us to shoot our own bro with fireworks?”
Jiang Chen said: “Is there a problem?”
The best men group said: “You you you soul crusher!”
Jiang Chen very calmly: “En.”
The best men group: “……”
And to reply with an ‘en’, are you the devil?!
How did you even come up with such a humiliating method!
Jiang Chen said: “Don’t just stand there. Manifest the energy you just used to encourage him.”
The best men group: “……”
Is this the fucking same?
We can’t manifest that!
Jiang Chen said: “The fireworks he purchased were meant to be used this way. Didn’t you guys come to help him? Go ahead and help.”
The best men group: “……”
Such regret, they really shouldn’t have come here!
Hearing Fang JingXing also say, do it, the group endured their bleeding little hearts and started to pew pew pew him with the fireworks in anguish.
Xie ChengYan also became an audience member. Holding back his laughter, he sent his good friend a row of candles and said: “This is a pretty good idea. Can buy some fireworks in the future to use as water guns.”
Seeing his good friend asking him to help make arrangements, he inquired: “Want to do a dungeon in a bit?”
Jiang Chen said: “Are you also coming?”
Xie ChengYan said: “Yes, but I can only play until 10am. I have work today.”
Jiang Chen said: “Alright.”
A moment later, one round of fireworks finished exploding.
Observing the entire process, Jiang Chen’s anger was finally pacified.
Seeing Fang JingXing walking over, he got up saying: “Fang JingXing, PK a round?”
The tormented best men group had just let out a breath of relief. Upon hearing this, they looked towards him sharply.
Oh fuck, still fighting?
Fang JingXing was able to understand his meaning and warned, saying: “Your level is lower than mine.”
In order to farm Wardcaster gear, he had completed several dungeons last night, increasing his level along the way.
To normal people, a few levels might not matter much, but amongst experts, even a one level difference could be fatal.
Jiang Chen said: “I’m going to do dungeons with them. You wait right here.”
Fang JingXing smiled exasperatedly and said: “Okay.”
As such, Jiang Chen picked three people out of the five guys, then added his nephew, and led them away. Fang JingXing looked at the two remaining bros and smiled extremely amiably: “Come, let’s have a chat.”
Those two people: “…….”
They just knew they couldn’t avoid this beating.
More than an hour later, Jiang Chen returned. The two people, who were left behind on the island, had already run off a long time ago. The three playing dungeons with Jiang Chen received their companions’ message and felt deeply that there was no benefit in getting involved in their affairs, so they dared not return. Meanwhile, Xie ChengYan just happened to reach the time to get offline. At this moment, only two people were left on the little island.
The Wardcaster and the Abysswalker.
The two people looked at each other and started to video record at the same time.
Fang JingXing sent a PK invitation. Jiang Chen clicked accept. Ward inscriptions condescending on the tips of his fingers, Jiang Chen charged directly at the other.
Fang JingXing turned sideways to evade and was just about to counterattack when he suddenly discovered his magic was sealed. His heartbeat jumped slightly. When did this kid do it?
Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity slip away. He followed up closely with another skill.
It was a small level 20 skill, which can hit three targets at once, but he shot them completely in a straight line, all three hits striking Fang JingXing’s body. The other’s HP instantly dropped by a large amount.
Fang JingXing sustained until he was released from the seal and instantly returned a series of critical hits.
The two sides exchanged blows back and forth, tempo extremely fast. Calculating the time, Fang JingXing knew that the other’s sealing skill was about to leave cooldown and hastily moved to evade. Unfortunately, as soon as he took a step away, he became sealed again. He couldn’t help but feel surprised.
If he knew Jiang Chen’s identity, he wouldn’t have been so astonished.
The league’s number 1 Wardcaster could seal his opponents into mental shutdowns during competitive matches back then. He played this skill extremely smoothly.
Jiang Chen didn’t give him any more chances. While he couldn’t use his magic, Jiang Chen took his life away with an explosive barrage of attacks and asked: “Yield?”
Fang JingXing got up: “Again.”
The two people started a second round.
After suffering defeat once, Fang JingXing refused to fall again. Seizing the opportunity to hit the other with a wave first, he relied on his HP advantage to knock the other down. With a smile, he asked: “Yield?”
Jiang Chen said: “Again.”
This PK match unexpectedly lasted for almost an hour. If the AI didn’t call him, Jiang Chen might have continued dueling him.
Fang JingXing also felt unsatisfied, wishing to continue: “Can’t you get off later?”
Jiang Chen said: “Nope.”
Fang JingXing said: “Are you still logging in at that same time in the afternoon?”
Jiang Chen said: “En.”
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “Then see you in the afternoon.”
He watched as the other’s figure vanished, took off his glasses, and looked towards Xie ChengYan who was in the room.
Xie ChengYan took a shower, ate food, and was currently packing his luggage. Seeing this, he said: “How’s the PK?”
He didn’t hear an answer and looked over. Seeing his good friend’s eyes, which always held a smile, extremely bright as if they were beaming with light, Xie ChengYan couldn’t help but freeze, stunned: “What?”
The corners of Fang JingXing’s mouth curved upwards as he said: “He’s definitely mine.”
Xie ChengYan raised an eyebrow.
Fang JingXing sat on the sofa and reminisced: “I practically wish to be max level right now so I can have another fight with him.”
Jiang Chen had pretty much the same thoughts as well.
After eating, he took a walk and then laid down in bed. Feeling the blood still boiling in his body, he couldn’t fall asleep and said to the AI: “Sing a song for me.”
The AI said: “Sing what?”
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and selected a Linkin Park song.
The two AIs finished searching and started singing.
Jiang Chen was very pleased hearing it, thinking even this kind of music can persevere through time.
But the staff members couldn’t stand it. Several people ran over and opened the door. They saw Jiang Chen with his eyes shut, two hands folded together on his stomach, looking actually a bit peaceful. The two AIs were standing at the bedside howling at him, screaming at max volume— Disco dancing on top of a grave couldn’t even match this!
They were instantly shocked: “Stop singing already. You guys are singing this while he’s sleeping?”
The two AIs were very innocent: “He told us to sing it.”
The staff members looked towards Jiang Chen again.
Jiang Chen kept his eyes shut and pretended to be dead, displaying a “I’m sleeping” look.
The staff members were speechless for a few seconds and then dragged the two aggrieved AIs outside.
Ultimately, Jiang Chen was not able to sleep. Enduring until 2pm, he went online again.
Fang JingXing was already waiting for him. Smiling, he greeted: “Ge, you’re here?”
After experiencing that round of PK, Jiang Chen felt the other was a bit more pleasing to the eye and said: “Actually, I lied to you about one thing as well.”
Thinking to himself, what an unexpected reward, Fang JingXing said curiously: “What is it?”
Jiang Chen said: “How old are you this year?”
Fang JingXing said: “25.”
Jiang Chen said: “I’m not 19.”
He patted the other’s shoulder: “Call me Shu in the future. When I was playing Wandering Dreams, you weren’t even born yet.”
Fang JingXing: “???”
Well, that’s a way to solve it 🤣 ah, they’re great, I enjoy each and every interaction!
Thank you for the chapter~
😂😂 true ,he wasn’t even born then 😂😂😂
He’s gonna think a middle aged man is on the other side of the screen 😭
Thank you for translating!
lmao imagine his confusion if out of nowhere Cheng’er just says: “I’m physically and mentally 19 but I’m 23 years older than you 🙂” 💀
Gods that mention of Linkin Park made me cry like a baby 😭 May Chester still be remembered, not only in 2047 but for centuries to pass 💚
