119: Chapter 119 What kind of fish is steamed? Is it delicious?

Xiao Niao was speechless at Drunk Carefree's childish behavior, though he could also understand it. After holding such high hopes and grinding so hard to reach the Creation Realm, only to have nothing happen, that feeling of being played for a fool would likely be unpleasant for anyone.

However, based on some of the game mechanics he had deduced, it seemed this situation shouldn't be happening.

Xiao Niao couldn't help but type and @ Chen Mo: "@ Supreme Keyboard Emperor, Group Leader, look, has a bug occurred with Drunk Carefree's situation?"

Chen Mo: "For all game content in Fantasy Jianghu, please explore it yourself, players."

Everyone: "Holy crap, instant reply!"

Dont Call Me Wife: "Shocking! The introverted group leader is lurking online!"

[ Dont Call Me Wife has been muted by the administrator for 1 minute. ]

Seeing that someone was using their authority again, everyone temporarily stopped speaking, only muttering in their hearts: "Stupid group leader..."

However, Xiao Niao began to think seriously.

Since the Group Leader didn't say it was a bug, and instead told players to explore it themselves, it meant this situation was reasonable?

Xiao Niao carefully recalled that after he confirmed the Ascension Platform agreement, there seemed to be a prompt that said something like... having entered the game queue channel? Thinking of this, Xiao Niao vaguely had a clue.

Chen Mo stared at the screen, and seeing that no one was speaking, he boredly scrolled up through the group chat history. After scrolling for a while, he realized he really hadn't seen Old Man Li's messages. Upholding the principle of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, he typed with concern: "Speaking of which, where is Old Man Li? Why don't I see him speaking? I remember he usually isn't that busy."

Rich Villa Lu Xiongwei: "Old Man Li said that the Group Leader made an Ascension Platform. Why add such mysterious things to a perfectly good Wuxia game? It's simply heresy. It lacks the authentic Wuxia flavor, so he doesn't care to play it anymore."

Chen Mo was stunned: "Did I actually offend Old Man Li?"

Hu Gualing: "If he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to. Who's begging him to play? (/Toothless Laugh.jpg)"

Domestic Superman: "I think Supreme Keyboard Emperor should properly comfort Old Man Li. Perhaps he really is a seventy or eighty-year-old man who finally found a game he likes, only for you to ruin it."

Chen Mo: "???"

Rich Villa Lu Xiongwei: "Isn't there a trend about 'Yuyu Syndrome' (depression) nowadays? Do you think it's possible Old Man Li is depressed?"

Hu Gualing: "(/Horror.jpg) Oh no, Old Man Li has been driven to depression by the Group Leader!"

Dont Call Me Wife: "What is 'Fishy Steamed'? Is it delicious?"

Chen Mo: "..."

Old Man Li suddenly popped up: "[/Stunned.jpg]"

Old Man Li: "What depression? How could this old man be so fragile? Besides, I'm just taking a break from the game. I have something I'm more interested in now."

Everyone: "!!!"

As far as everyone knew, while this Old Man Li's real age, identity, and profession were unknown... his hobbies were unquestionable. He loved traditional Wuxia, so much so that he could discuss the details of game Move mechanics in the group, leading everyone to once think he had become obsessed with the game...

Rich Villa Lu Xiongwei: "Old Man Li, didn't you love traditional Wuxia the most? Why the sudden change of heart, favoring the new over the old?"

Old Man Li said mysteriously: "It is not that I no longer love traditional Wuxia, but that this old man, by a stroke of Opportunity, obtained a real Wuxia secret manual!"

"A real Wuxia secret manual?"

The group members naturally didn't believe it.

Hu Gualing even more rudely mocked him: "Old geezer, it's fantasy time again, hahaha!"

Drunk Carefree was not to be outdone: "Old immortal, stop your nonsense."

Old Man Li: "The group's quality is in dire need of improvement. However, I won't hold it against you. I must go study my Wuxia secret manual."

Hu Gualing pressed the attack: "I wonder if you can even read all the characters, yet you're studying a Wuxia secret manual. (/Laughing My Teeth Off.jpg)"

Drunk Carefree: "Get lost, get lost."

Chen Mo looked at the posts from the foul-mouthed duo, his hand hovering over the power button, ready to press it at any moment to cut off his internet connection with them. Fortunately, Old Man Li seemed genuinely interested in the Wuxia secret manual and disappeared again after a hurried appearance. Only then did Chen Mo wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

...

Inside a small building in the Sanatorium.

On the second floor, there was a room decorated with elegance. The location was excellent; one didn't even need to look out the window, as the green cypress branches outside reached in through the window on their own.

The quiet afternoon sunlight filtered through the gaps in the cypress leaves, appearing mottled and golden, giving the entire room a feeling of being one with nature.

Of course, that would be the case, if not for the girl sitting in the room with her hair dyed yellow, her lively eyes focused intently on the computer screen in front of her.

If not for this Yellow-Haired Girl who had her feet propped up on the table, her hands tucked between her thighs and placed on the keyboard under the desk, typing away with a "clatter-clatter" sound in a very strange but admittedly very swift manner.

Then... the overall atmosphere of the room would have been even better.

At this moment, the colorful display on the computer screen was likely a game interface. In the middle of the screen was a group of cartoon characters with bizarre hairstyles and hair colors, their clothes adorned with shiny metal pieces, and some characters even had a pair of glittering wings on their backs.

At the bottom of the screen was a rhythm bar. The Yellow-Haired Girl, typing on the keyboard, was controlling the musical notes to jump according to the beat. At the same time, a character in the middle of the screen was dancing along with her actions.

That outfit on the character might look ridiculous to outsiders, but in the eyes of the Yellow-Haired Girl, it must have been quite cool; otherwise, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic, "clatter-clatter" and "bang-bang" typing on the keyboard to the beat. When she got into it, even the legs she had propped on the table would shake along with the rhythm, causing the 37-inch OLED curved gaming monitor on the desk to wobble.

She was so engrossed that she didn't even realize someone had opened the door and walked into the room. It wasn't until the large headphones she was wearing were removed that she glanced at the person with lightning speed, then immediately focused back on the screen, her hands never stopping their "clatter-clatter" typing.

After a dazzling series of operations, a big "perfect" appeared on the screen—game victory!

Yellow-Haired Girl: "Not bad at all! I can even hit a 'perfect' without headphones, which means I've already mastered this song, 'Basketball Fire'."

After secretly praising herself in her heart, the Yellow-Haired Girl quietly took her feet off the table and said in a spoiled tone: "Grandpa, didn't I tell you to knock before coming in~"

The person who came in was none other than the Yellow-Haired Girl's grandfather, Li Dequan.

Li Dequan said somewhat angrily: "I almost knocked the door down, but did you even hear it?"
