A tall, extremely thin young man stood before Feng Guang. His outfit was casual—a white shirt underneath a black jacket, paired with faded jeans. Even his hair was messy, with long bangs covering his eyes, though he seemed completely unaware. His overall appearance exuded a sense of unkempt neglect, yet his vaguely visible features showed he wasn’t bad-looking.
He must be a science and engineering major.
“I’m fine,” Feng Guang said, rubbing her eyes as she stood up. She reached out to take the tissue he was offering, but he pulled it back.
“If you’re fine, then I’ll leave,” he said nonchalantly, turning to walk away without hesitation.
Feng Guang: “…”
He’s a science guy!
From a distance, she watched him get on a bike. His friend seemed frustrated, saying something to him, but he showed no reaction and simply rode off. The friend, left behind, quickly jumped onto the back of the bike.
Feng Guang thought to herself, “It’s not because my charm has faded. It’s just that college boys these days are into each other. Look at them riding off together!”
Sighing, she remembered her mission. She thought, “I’ve got a long road ahead.”
After finishing her class schedule and registration, Feng Guang rode home in her chauffeur-driven car. She smiled, recalling Zhao Xiaolu’s words from earlier, especially the part where she mentioned already having someone she liked. Shen Wuyan must be stewing in frustration at home—little does he know that the person Zhao Xiaolu was referring to is him!
With her omniscient perspective, Feng Guang knew the truth but chose to stay silent. The more the male and female leads struggled with their feelings, the sooner Shen Wuyan would rush to break off the engagement with her. And for Feng Guang, that was a good thing!
After dinner, Feng Guang lay down in her gaming pod and logged back into the game. She reappeared in the same spot she had logged out from yesterday—the Poison Mist Forest. A pigeon landed on her hand, and she retrieved a letter tied to its leg. It was a response to the bug report she had submitted on the official website the day before.
The letter read: “Dear Lady Sunset, after investigation, the government could not find any data regarding the disappearance of your Silver Squirrel in your bag. You might have been mistaken. If you have further issues, please contact our GM (Game Manager). We wish you an enjoyable gaming experience!”
“Enjoyable my foot!” Feng Guang threw the letter to the ground and stomped on it repeatedly in frustration. She knew she hadn’t made a mistake—the Silver Squirrel was in her bag!
Just as she was fuming, the game system chimed: “Your nemesis, Ren Wo Xing, has logged in.”
Feng Guang’s eyes locked onto a pair of deep, dark ones. After a long pause, she flashed a sweet, flawless smile at the man emanating an eerie calm. Raising her hand, she greeted, “Hi~ Good afternoon.”
“Good afternoon,” he replied emotionlessly, drawing the long sword at his waist.
System notification: “Lady has been gravely injured by Ren Wo Xing.”
Feng Guang lay on the ground, her mind echoing with the constant chime of the system. Every pulse of pain reminded her of the time she had once fed him multiple Pulse-Breaking Pills. Now, he was repaying her in kind, feeding her the same number of pills. She felt like crying but had no tears left. She had spent the entire afternoon being corpse-camped by this man.
The game’s realism was so infuriating. Even though she could log out, the Pulse-Breaking Pill’s timer wouldn’t run while she was offline. This meant she had to stay in the game until the pill’s duration was over before she could revive. Such a brutal setting was the perfect tool for dealing with enemies. No wonder the pills sold for 300 in-game currency each in the store.
That guy, Ren Wo Xing, must have logged in last night just to wait out his pill’s timer. Now he was waiting for her to log in so he could take his revenge!
