Jiang Chen returned to the game at night. As soon as he put away his fishing gear, his nephew to the side immediately scooted over.
Xie ChengYan said happily: “You’re here?”
Jiang Chen said: “En.”
Xie ChengYan already felt his heart itch the entire afternoon.
The little uncle, who he had been very curious and regretful over, came back from the dead. However, the minute interaction they had during lunch was completely unable to satisfy him. Yet his family refused to allow him to log into the game, so he could only endure it until now, when he finally saw the person again.
For a moment, he was so excited that he gave the other a hug.
Jiang Chen spoiled him a lot and patted his head.
Standing and watching this on the side, Fang JingXing asked with a smile: “What happened while I was gone?”
Jiang Chen said with a calm face: “Dungeons and leveling, had a pretty delightful time together.”
Xie ChengYan agreed: “Yep.”
Fang JingXing gave an ‘oh’ and didn’t believe them.
Although Xie ChengYan had the intention of recognizing the Wardcaster as Didi, usually he still remained somewhat composed because of his idol baggage. He wouldn’t be this enthusiastic.
Fang JingXing considered it for a few seconds and sent a message to Xie ChengYan.
[PM] Abyss: You guys met each other in person?
Horrified and shocked, Xie ChengYan felt that his childhood friend was practically inhuman.
Good thing they grew up together and he knew how to handle the other. As such, he gave a cautious response.
[PM] Qing Yan: No, why?
[PM] Abyss: You suddenly had something to do. He also showed up late this afternoon because he was busy. Auntie also knows him, so reasonably, I suspect you guys have met each other in person.
[PM] Qing Yan: It’s just a coincidence.
[PM] Abyss: Really?
[PM] Qing Yan: However, I just happened to see his photo at my mom’s place.
Xie ChengYan also realized that he shouldn’t have hugged the other involuntarily just now and knew he needed to give a proper explanation to flip the page. Otherwise, it’s easy to arouse a certain person’s suspicion. Fortunately, his childhood friend couldn’t see his expression in the game. He recalled the various speculations his childhood friend had regarding his little uncle and supplemented according to the other’s thought process.
[PM] Qing Yan: I just feel really bad for him and want to treat him well.
Fang JingXing frowned, his attention successfully shifted.
[PM] Abyss: What happened to him?
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.
[PM] Qing Yan: Sick, currently still in the hospital.
[PM] Qing Yan: Don’t ask anymore. His private matters, so I can’t say much about it. In any case, I want to treat him well.
[PM] Abyss: En.

Jiang Chen also looked at a certain someone: “If you don’t want your grubby paw, I can help you cut it.”
Fang JingXing withdrew his hand and said almost jokingly: “It’s fine for him to hug you, but I can’t even touch you briefly?”
Jiang Chen said: “Fans, double standards.”
Fang JingXing already guessed he’d say this and switched the topic: “Where are we going?”
During this stage, besides clearing dungeons and farming mobs to level up, there was really nothing else to do.
They asked around in guild chat. Seeing someone was just about to start one, they left the gates and went to meet up with that person.
As Fang JingXing walked along the main road towards the direction of the teleportation array, he considered his wording and told the Wardcaster about the issue with the gaming organizations.
It’s all because he caused so much trouble in the past that even after retiring, his old rivals were still wary of him. In addition, the incident of him searching for the Wardcaster during the Beta and getting first clear on the Lion King have both caused such huge disturbances that now he was being watched.
He asked the Wardcaster for his opinion: “What do you think about this? If you’re not happy with them annoying you, I can go talk to them in group chat and shoo them away.”
Jiang Chen said: “Doesn’t matter. If they come, then let them come.”
Coincidentally, he has never exchanged blows with a lot of the newly added classes in the game. He could take advantage of this opportunity to fight them and see.
Fang JingXing said: “Then just let them be?”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Absorbing the lesson just now, Xie ChengYan didn’t dare to cheer or act smug openly. Instead, he thought to himself, how could those training camp newcomers be a match to his little uncle. Even a car full of them was purely just delivering free kills.
However, it’s unclear whether the incident in the afternoon had spread or the newcomers of other gaming organizations were smarter, this entire night was calm and peaceful.
Jiang Chen went to sleep right on time and continued to level up the next day. By the time he afked in the evening, he successfully reached level 70.
The result of Fang JingXing and the streaming platform’s discussions was for him to broadcast at night, because there were relatively more people at night.
So he played with them for the entire day, but couldn’t continue at night. However, he bought a new set of equipment, so this account could afk. As such, he parked his character next to the lake and before he left, he obstinately asked again: “Really not coming to watch my live stream?”
Jing Chen said: “No, boring.”
Fang JingXing said: “I’ll do my best to incorporate some special live stream theatrics.”
Jiang Chen said coldly: “Oh, pretending to be a cute newbie again?”
Fang JingXing said: “……No, I’ll switch to something else.”
Jiang Chen said: “Not interested.”
What if I use my original voice?
This question spun around inside Fang JingXing’s mouth. Still feeling it was inappropriate and too without restraints, he could only swallow it and sigh rather exasperatedly: “Alright.”
Jiang Chen was weak to coaxing but not coercion. Hearing the other’s tone, he looked at Fang JingXing: “With so many fans, you still lack one little audience like me?”
Fang JingXing said: “I do.”
At this time, his mouth moved faster than his brain. It wasn’t until he finished speaking that he realized what he said.
He reflected honestly. There were so many people in the stream room, even if the Wardcaster came, he wouldn’t be able to tell who’s who, so why was he so insistent that the other come watch?
Jiang Chen also asked: “Why?”
Fang JingXing considered this carefully and said: “Maybe because it’s too dry to get through the hidden story quest normally. With you watching on the side, I have more energy and motivation.”
In other words, you’re bored and want me to be bored with you?
Captain Jiang instantly retracted his slightly softened stance and said: “Keep lacking then.”
Fang JingXing: “…….”
Jiang Chen said: “Going offline.”
He immediately left like he said. His character automatically started fishing.
To the side, Xie ChengYan laughed nonstop.
He was used to seeing Fang JingXing being successful in every endeavor. It’s rare to see him fail on a single person repeatedly, especially when that person was his little uncle. He couldn’t help but take delight in seeing this misfortune. It was even a rather sharp and invigorating feeling. He asked: “Male god, do you need me to come watch.”
Fang JingXing said: “No need to bother you.”
His conversation turned: “I’ll come eat with you?”
Xie ChengYan evaluated himself and decided to avoid the other for a few days temporarily, saying: “Another day. My dad is finally not working overtime today. He’s going to come back home to eat.”
The two people bid each other farewell and logged off, afk.
7:30pm, Fang JingXing started his live stream on schedule. Jiang Chen and Xie ChengYan also went online punctually. Heartlessly abandoning the Abysswalker afking next to them, they went to find a wilderness area.
The 5-man and 10-man dungeons in Wandering Dreams could only be played once a day. Today they’ve already cleared them all, so they could only farm mobs.
Fortunately, there weren’t a lot of people around so they didn’t need to be too careful while chatting. However, to avoid making a habit, Xie ChengYan listened to his little uncle’s words and still didn’t call him that.
The two people unconsciously farmed for almost an hour. Slowly, more and more people filled the area.
They discussed briefly and decided to switch to a quieter location.
During this moment of idleness, Xie ChengYan clicked on his little uncle’s character and selected ‘follow’ and then went to use the bathroom. As such, Jiang Chen took his nephew and started to walk forward. As soon as he stepped onto a small road to the side, he saw a person walking towards him. Very quickly, the other stopped right in front of him. It was Swordsman with the ID, Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams.
In Wandering Dreams, there was a large population of Warriors, Swordsmen, and Clerics.
The latter was a must have in squads. The two former were also required to pull mobs, not to mention, easy to learn. As for close ranged combat, playing that was very blood-pumping and exciting, as such they’re very popular amongst players.
This was a Demon clan swordsman, who carried a long sword on his waist that emitted a dark glow, already looking rather remarkable.
Discovering that his equipment attributes were viewable by players, Jiang Chen took a glance at the information and discovered that it was an orange gear, a rarity that’s only secondary to Divine Gear in Wandering Dreams.
The face that Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams created was very handsome. His voice was bright like the sunlight: “Ace, hello.”
He was somewhat nervous at first. After he spoke, he paused for a second before continuing, speech becoming smoother: “I observed you for a long time and really like you very much. Can I play together with you?”
Jiang Chen said: “Nope.”
Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams scratched his head: “Ai, you might have mistaken me as coming to win your favor, but I’m really not.” He explained: “I just feel like you’re very strong and have quite a personality, so I really admire you…… oh right, are you two a couple?”
Jiang Chen said: “We’re not.”
Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams said: “Ah, then that Abyss must not be either right? I feel like he’s not good enough for you.”
Jiang Chen felt slightly pleased by this and gave an ‘en’.
Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams was very excited: “That’s great!”
He did his best to promote himself: “Ace, you didn't marry a partner yet? What do you think about me? I’m very skilled. If there’s anything you want to play in the future, I can carry you.”
Jiang Chen said: “Unnecessary.”
Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams said: “Don’t refuse so quickly. Why don’t you observe and take a look first?”
His voice lowered as he said pitifully: “I don’t have any friends in this game at all. One person is really too lonely.”
Jiang Chen said: “If you don’t have friends, how did you acquire an orange gear?”
Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams said: “I joined a guild and played with them, but actually I’m not familiar with them at all and our personalities don’t match. Can’t you…… can’t you just consider me for a second?”
For some reason, Jiang Chen felt a sense of deja vu regarding this situation and opened the popularity board to take a look.
Harvesting Souls in Your Dreams, 5th place on the popularity board.
