Chapter 110: Resonance Between Fellow Newbies (2)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
Four short messages that guided one’s thoughts to a very direct conclusion. It barely took any time for [Northern Tea] to understand the current situation surrounding [Yao Loves Ice Cream].
The person whom he’d been coyly addressing as ‘Sis’ was actually an old auntie in real life. Not only was she married, she even had two children…
[Northern Tea] no longer responded to Lin Jiage’s words.
Even though a screen stood between the two of them, Lin Jiage could still feel the other party’s heart shattering miserably.
Good. I feel better now that you’re in a bad mood.
Lin Jiage also didn’t send [Northern Tea] any more messages. He leisurely switched off the chat and returned back to the room.
Instead of starting the game, he began counting mentally. When he finally counted to five, just as expected, the incensed voice of [Northern Tea] sounded, “Screw this! This is really too much! You scammers!”
After which, [Northern Tea] backed out from the room.
And this was the very moment that Lin Jiage was waiting for—
A second after [Northern Tea] left, Lin Jiage suddenly spoke up with a bewildered tone, “Hm? Did something happen while I was in the toilet? Why did your friend suddenly leave the room? Is he not playing anymore?”
…
During [Northern Tea]’s sudden outburst, s.h.i.+ Yao was in the middle of popping a ham sausage from a newly opened packet into her mouth.
By the time the ham sausage was in her stomach, and she was ready to talk again, [Northern Tea] had already left the room, and she suddenly heard [111111] speaking up.
Thus, she could only change her initial “What’s wrong” into “I don’t know” to reply to [111111]’s words.
After a moment of contemplation, s.h.i.+ Yao spoke up, “I’ll go talk to him.”
So, s.h.i.+ Yao tapped into her friend list, but after searching it twice, she realized that she was unable to find [Northern Tea]’s name.
“That’s weird, why can’t I find his name anywhere?”
s.h.i.+ Yao browsed through the few names within her friend list, and after re-confirming that [Northern Tea] wasn’t in it anymore, it suddenly struck her that the other party had removed her from his friend list. Perplexed, she asked, “I was just gone for a moment to open a packet of ham sausage; why did Northern Tea suddenly remove me from his friend list?”
“I didn’t do anything either. Why is he suddenly acting like that?”
Recalling the vulgarities which [Northern Tea] had hurled at her earlier, she subconsciously asked, “Maybe those insults were meant for me?”
With a nasally voice, [111111] spoke with the same perplexed tone, “I’m not too sure either, but I don’t think that he was insulting you. After all, you didn’t provoke him at all…”
[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: “Then why did he suddenly remove me from his friend list?”
“That might be because…” [111111] fell silent for a moment. “… my hand slipped earlier, and I accidentally bombed the three of us to death. He probably thinks that your teammate is too weak, so he doesn’t want to play with us anymore?”
s.h.i.+ Yao pondered for a while, and she felt that there was some sense to [111111]’s words. After all, she did perform excellently in the game, and she even saved [Northern Tea] once earlier in the afternoon. Thus, she nodded affirmatively and said, “That’s most likely it.”
Two seconds later, she added, “But you’re not a newbie. Your hands just slipped. Who hasn’t made a mistake before?
“That guy is pretty demanding…”
s.h.i.+ Yao a.s.sumed that [111111] wouldn’t respond to her, as per their usual interactions. Yet, right after she said those words, [111111] replied, “You’re right, that person really is too demanding. If it were me, I would never bother with him again!”
