Go to Hell, White Lotus

[36. First Release for Today]

As usual, summer mornings came abnormally fast. It was only six o’clock in the morning and the sky was already bright. When Bai Lian Hua woke up, Li Bei was already gone and Chu Zhongtian, who slept on the upper bunk, slept like a log. After getting dressed, Bai Lian Hua shook Chu Zhongtian awake and ordered him to go and pick up their results…..

You’re asking why Bai Lian Hua asked him to go instead? …..It’s because he wanted to play games and naturally could only trouble Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian angrily glared at him with an expression indicating that they didn’t need to pick up their results so early but it was ignored by Bai Lian Hua who yawned lazily and proceeded to log online. Needless to say, the amount of players online right now were scarce and were mainly composed of players who pulled all-nighters. Unfortunately for Bai Lian Hua, none of his friends had pulled all-nighters and so he could only complete his tasks alone…..instances, it’s too lonely doing them alone; fighting monsters, experience gained is too low; completing tasks, not fun…..Sure enough, just like it is easy to go from poor to rich and difficult to transition from rich to poor; it was easy to go from playing alone to playing as a group and difficult to transition back to playing alone…..

That’s right. Shouldn’t senior brother be online at this time? He logged onto penguin and temporarily pushed the game aside. Once he was on, he saw that senior brother really did live up to his expectations.

White Lotus 7:01:11

Senior brother??

Scattered Chrysanthemum 7:01:19

So early junior brother?

White Lotus 7:01:24

T__T Yes. I wanted to ask, do you know who helped me pay back the money?

Scattered Chrysanthemum 7:01:39

Ahahahaha it is I!

White Lotus 7:01:49

Really??

Scattered Chrysanthemum 7:01:56

Hahaha of course —- not! _(┐e:)_

White Lotus 7:02:03

Damn you Li Fuju!

Scattered Chrysanthemum 7:02:09

I already said not to call me by my real name!!! This one hates being called by my real name!!

Bai Lian Hua was not interested in listening to the complaints of his senior brother and proceeded to close the dialogue box. He deeply contemplated, it’s not Chu Zhongtian; and it’s not senior brother…..please forgive this Bai Lian Hua who can’t think of anyone else who would help him pay back the money. He couldn’t help but feel that his IQ really is inadequate.

At half past seven, Chu Zhongtian also left and Bai Lian Hua was the only one left in the entire dormitory. Bai Lian Hua had reached level 56 so far mainly due to the contributions of Half Crazy Smile and Lonely like Snow. That’s right………he can go and learn some life skills….As he reached the Drug King Valley, a medicine gathering man carrying a basket of an unknown assortment of medicine stood by the entrance. Bai Lian Hua moved his mouse over this figure and selected him.

[Medicine gatherer: Young man… Did you come to learn about medicinal herbs?]

He selected yes and accepted the medicine gathering task. However, before he could even get halfway through the first task, the penguin icon on his task bar started flashing. Bai Lian Hua paused his mission, opened the chat interface and saw that it was actually from Smile.

_Love Smiles Love Life _7:49:27

Hey hey hey Lotus. So early?

White Lotus 7:49:34

Yes… Is there something?

_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:49:53

Yes! It’s about Great God……..

White Lotus 7:50:07

What happened to Great God?

Although the number of times he had spoken to Great God could not even fill a page in the chat records, he was still his former master. Bai Lian Hua reasoned that, with this, there was nothing wrong with being concerned about Great God. Yet for some reason, every time he sees Great God’s name, he couldn’t help but feel strange inside…..

_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:50:12

Great God completed the identify verification yesterday……

White Lotus 7:50:29

….and then?

_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:50:49

Great God only just turned 18 years old!!! Call Song Qingge…

_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:50:59

Well, it might also not necessarily be Great God’s own ID card……

White Lotus 7:51:11

-口-!!!!

Bai Lotus was dumbfounded. The age of Great God…Great God himself revealed it before so he was not very surprised. On the contrary, it was the name of Great God….isn’t it that guy from yesterday… that first-year freshman who ate dumplings with him? Or was he just coincidentally someone with the same name?

No….it probably isn’t just someone with the same name. Bai Lian Hua faintly remembered Great God saying that he applied for A University as his preference…..Bai Lian Hua was suddenly covered in a thin layer of cold sweat but he didn’t know why he felt chills up his spine. His heart uncontrollably pounded in his chest…….if Song Qingge is Great God…….

Making him carry the computer case + owes him money for a long time + late = Bai Lian Hua; gifting twenty five thousand worth of equipment + saving him several times + non-talkative = Song Qingge?………The guy who looks like a devil with glasses and like an iceberg when he removes glasses……is Great God?!

In all honesty, Bai Lian Hua could not believe it but the facts were sitting right in front of him. He could only gradually accept his conjectures…..it wasn’t because someone helped him pay the money back, but it was because Great God didn’t want his money. He changed to the game interface and glanced at the greyed out display picture on his friends list feeling slightly frustrated inside. No one knew how tempted he was to just send him a message and ask “Are you Song Qingge?”…………

_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:51:23

Scared silly?

_ Love Smiles Love Life _7:52:47

Hey Hey! Don’t tell me you died from shock?

White Lotus 7:53:01

No… just a little surprised.

No, rather than being a little surprised, it was more accurate to say that he was greatly surprised. He was surprised and horrified to the point that his internal organs felt like they had all malfunctioned…….He casually chatted with Smile and added him as a friend on penguin but throughout the entire process, his mind was lost in a sea of thoughts….

Bai Lian Hua soullessly continued to perform his medicine collection task and couldn’t even afford to feel excited as his experience meter rose little by little nor could he pay attention to his surroundings.

[Nearby] Drunkenness in the Ming Dynasty: Hey, is that guy who’s wearing Jiasha Lotus brother?

[Nearby] Little Ghosts: Idiot. In this game there is only one monk okay?

…

And so, it was only until the moment he was surrounded by three players and a series of red numbers had appeared above his character did he realise that he was being attacked.

[System Tip: Players [丶煋辉卟落艹_綄媄] attacked you].

[System Tip: Players [丶煋辉卟落艹_残蒛] attacked you].

[System Tip: Players [丶煋辉卟落艹_咏恒] attacked you].

Right…these three names had left an impression before. They were the three players he had encountered on the Tao Hua Yuan Instance……those stupid [Beep———]. Who would have thought that they would meet again like this?

Bai Lian Hua stopped collecting the medicinal herbs and drank a red bottle to restore about half of his blood. Looking at his empty skills bar, he was faced with a difficulty situation. Last time, the three players were only around level forty, and this time it looks like they had actually reached fifty. But they had only just reached level fifty so even if they want to attack a level fifty-six player, they would have no chance to win….that is, of course, if the player isn’t Bai Lian Hua….

Although he was already level fifty six, his simple attacks were not even comparable to that of a level fifty swordsman and, on top of that, he was originally an archer so his skills were main focused on increasing his speed rather than attack strength. Furthermore, since he had become a monk, he became unable to wear other equipment causing his originally weak attacks to become even more useless. His Buddhist scriptures also didn’t give him a skill or anything…..when facing three swordsman’s…..it was basically as if he is just revealing his chrysanthemum and asking to be attacked!

Looking at his gradually diminishing blood meter and the red medicine icon which still remained greyed out as it slowly counted down, Bai Lian Hua resisted like a cockroach for about ten minutes before he eventually fell. As he fell, Bai Lian Hua’s screen became covered with a gray tone causing the scene to look extra sad.

[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Lotus brother was killed!!

[Nearby] General Gong: Feminine goddess died so pitifully T_T…..where’s Great God, Roommate and Smile? Quickly come and save the flower……

It was possible for Smile and Roommate but……Great God……He probably won’t come? Even if he died, became disabled or became pregnant……..he probably wouldn’t care.

[Nearby] 丶煋辉卟落艹_咏恒: Why did I get a red name after killing him once? Don’t you have to kill ten to get a red name??

”It’s because I’m a monk……” Bai Lian Hua said silently in his heart. He couldn’t help but go and complain in his guild chat

Guild Leader · White lotus 8:11:00

Wuwu………… was hacked to death……

Vice Guild Leader · Lonely like Snow 8:11:07

Ah? Who?

Guild Leader · White Lotus 8:11:21

By three idiots…….

The group chat went silent for a few seconds. Bai Lian Hua impatiently changed from the chat channel to the game window and was surprised to find that the three idiots had not left. Bai Lian Hua had wanted to choose to resurrect back at the main city when the screen sudden became blindingly bright…..

Bai Lian Hua had not yet recovered from the shining white light when the three idiots suddenly fell to the ground with one hit.

If you asked Bai Lian Hua what the most handsome action in the gaming world was, he would immediately answer: instant kill.

[Nearby] Great God: Came late

[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Ahhhh! I was just saying that Great God will come!!!

Bai Lian Hua’s face was covered in black lines…..you bastard, when did you say that! You just listed three possibilities!

[Nearby] Great God: Month Before The Rain resurrect my apprentice and the three who just died

[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Ahhhhh! Great God actually called my name!!!

As expected of the famous healer in the gaming world, after three or four seconds later, Bai Lian Hua was resurrected and back to full blood. Apart from his level that had dropped to level fifty five, everything else was the same……

And after a few seconds, the three were also resurrected. Great God then used his sword in and one smooth action, all three once again fell instantly.

[Nearby] Great God: Continue

…

After this was repeated five or six times, one of the three idiots finally spoke up.

[Nearby] 丶煋辉卟落艹_咏恒: How can the Great God bully new players like this!

[Nearby] Great God: White Lotus is also a new player

[Nearby] 丶煋辉卟落艹 _ 咏 Heng: We have all dropped six levels. Isn’t it enough??

[Nearby] Great God: I said it before. If you kill White Lotus once, I will gank your whole family

[Nearby] 丶煋辉卟落卟 咏 咏 : Dammit!! I’m done with this!

As he said this, he actually disappeared into thin air. It looks like he had gone offline. Seeing the actions of the former player, the other two also quietly went offline.

[Nearby] Month Before The Rain: Great God is so handsome!!!!

[Nearby] Great God: Thank you for your compliments

Bai Lian Hua looked at the Great God dressed in a white flowing gown on his screen and suddenly remembered the works his father had said: “Do you know what kind of person is considered a real man? Men! They can be lascivious! Can be greedy! But most importantly, they must be trustworthy! Must have charisma! And should never hesitate like a sissy! Look at those in the military! They are the definition of a true man!”
