Holding Onto My Man

After Extremely Arrogant left, Gu Bai continued to play in the game world. In fact, the reason why he had been in the game world during this period of time was that the first meeting between Tang Linyi and Song Xianxun was during this period. Of course, he had to play here regularly.

Soon, Gu Bai was lucky to bump into Tang Linyi’s account after leaving the secret place, but he came a little late. Song Xianxun’s account had already met Tang Linyi.

However, Tang Linyi hadn’t been rescued yet. Tang Linyi had just been besieged by people, and Song Xianxun had just joined in.

Because Gu Bai issued a kill-on-sight order directly before, the “Ningbo Fairy” account that Song Xianxun had just changed to couldn’t be used again, so she could only create another one.

[Human] Qianxun Fairy: What are you guys doing? Why have you beaten him up so badly?! You guys are such bullies!

Song Xianxun stared at Tang Linyi’s account that was covered in blood.

She seemed to have a special fondness for usernames with fairy in them. This time, she had only changed her username slightly and even had even put in part of her own real name. Even if she didn’t say who she was, Gu Bai guessed it was her as soon as he saw the username on the account.

Looking at the players surrounding Tang Linyi, it seemed that their levels weren’t low. Gu Bai wasn’t in a hurry to run out over there for the time being.

He couldn’t win against so many people with this account right now, so he wouldn’t be as empty-headed and stupid as Song Xianxun and charge directly into the line of fire.

Gu Bai activated his stealth skill and hid nearby to watch closely. Song Xianxun continued to talk to the players there.

[Human] Angry Cucumber: Scram, it’s none of your business!

[Human] Lao Niang Thief Is Cute: That’s right, nosy people get their ** cut off. Oh no, since you’re a woman, then we’ll kick your boobs.

As soon as these players saw the name on the account, they knew that it must be a side account or belong to a neurotic girl with a god complex. With a few words, Song Xianxun’s face had turned red with anger.

But she wasn’t stupid either. Right now, if she started arguing with them and it devolved into a fight, she definitely couldn’t beat all three of them, so all she could do was bluff.

[Human] Qianxun Fairy: Hmph, what things can’t be first discussed? You bully people like this...

Before she had finished saying this, another man standing beside killed her as fast as he could.

[Human] Why Did You Take Away the Pot After Leaving: Idiot! So much nonsense, Laozi will just KO you dead now!

[Human] Lao Niang Thief Is Cute: That’s right, an idiot, let’s just not pay attention to them! ...Hey, boy, you dared to provoke us; you really don’t want to live anymore. We’re going to kill you all the way back to noob state now.

Song Xianxun died, but none of the other accounts nearby paid any attention to her. They focused on Tang Linyi’s account that was half dead. Although really, a young noob still in the state of Qi training daring to meddle in others’ affairs was also a head-scratcher.

After all that was said, Tang Linyi began his counterattack. The group of people fought again, and for a while the real simulation of the game made the surroundings look splendid.

Gu Bai didn’t move and stared at the fight. He rushed to determine the right time and spent an expensive Fubao equipment to seriously hurt all the people on the field. Then he jumped out and grabbed Tang Linyi’s flying magic weapon and left.

Linyi’s account was beaten so badly that it took time for the system to recover without a few expensive panacea.

However, Tang Linyi was not short of money, so after he was rescued and ran to a safe area where fights weren’t allowed, within two minutes, Tang Linyi rose to his feet and thanked him.

[Human] Three Chi Green Point: Hello, thank you for just now.

[Human] Bai: It’s OK. Those people were so hateful just now. So many people bully a new person, so we have to lend a helping hand when we can.

Naturally, Gu Bai knew that the fight between Tang Linyi and those players occurred because Tang Linyi had provoked them on his own initiative and should have been beaten. However, he still needed to put up a righteous front.

Tang Linyi himself would definitely not be silly enough to tell him that the whole thing was actually his fault. He smiled and handed over some Chinese medicine to Gu Bai.

[Human] Three Chi Green Point: Did you use a Fubao just now? That costs a thousand spirit stones. This pill will compensate you.

A thousand spirit stones could be converted into one hundred yuan in real life. Although Gu Bai did not lack the hundred yuan, he was now pretending to be a poor, ordinary account, so one hundred yuan was a lot.

Gu Bai took the item with a smile. In order to ensure that Tang Linyi would no longer meet Song Xianxun, he thought a bit and continued to talk.

[Human] Bai: You don’t have to thank me. Actually, I didn’t save you in vain. I have a quest, and I need someone to help me to kill some monsters. I just saw that you were pretty powerful when it was three against one, so I wanted you to help me. After completing the quest, I can divide some of the dropped equipment with you. What do you think?

Someone rescued you, and then asked you to help them kill some monsters, which wasn’t too much of a request. After thinking about it, Tang Linyi nodded his head and agreed.

As soon as the other party nodded, Gu Bai hurriedly sent a request to form a team, and then took Tang Linyi to a cave to start cooperating to fight monsters.

The reason why Tang Linyi could become a great God in the game world was that in addition to the Tang family’s money he could play with, naturally his own playstyle was also very good.

In fact, because this Record of Immortal Cultivation was a real simulation of a holographic online game, all aspects of the character’s data would be based on the player himself.

All the players who played well basically in real life also knew some Taekwondo, martial arts, and things like that, so this online game created a fitness boom.

The two cooperated very well. After the fight, Tang Linyi was as arrogant as before and surprised at Gu Bai’s skills.

[Human] Three Chi Green Point: You’re pretty skilled. Did you learn all that in real life?

There were many female players in the game, but not many female players played well, because it involved the physical strength of the other party in real life. Few girls fought so well, and most liked to use magical skills.

[Human] Bai: En, you’re also pretty good, did you also learn it?

In fact, he knew that in real life, Tang Linyi was a gentle scholar on the surface, but he liked to exercise very much. He was a black belt expert in Taekwondo.

[Human] Three Chi Green Point: I’ve learned a little.

However, Tang Linyi just nodded slightly. His character was cold, and he would not talk too much with a player he had just met. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

But Gu Bai’s main purpose today was to get to know him and then to make friends with him. This way, so in the future whenever Gu Bai followed around his account, he could easily talk to him.

[Human] Bai: You don’t seem to have just learned a little. You should be a taekwondo expert from what I saw just now. Genuine black belt, right? I’m learning traditional martial arts, and I’m also interested in Taekwondo recently. Let’s add each other as friends to communicate later?

Tang Linyi didn’t answer, which was a very obvious silent refusal. Gu Bai pretended not to notice and had the cheek to continue to ask to become friends.

[Human] Bai: Hey, don’t do that ah, I saved you just now. Let’s add each other as friends. I haven’t made any friends yet since I started playing this game, so today, we were destined to meet each other. Add me, add me ba. Don’t look down on the fact that this is a girl’s account, since I play very well. I’m sure I won’t drag you down when I do tasks later.

[Human] Three Chi Green Point: Okay.

Gu Bai’s expression was sincere, and his tone was very urgent. Tang Linyi took a look, had this strange impression that he couldn’t refuse, and after hesitating for awhile, finally agreed.

As soon as he was added as a friend, Gu Bai had an inexplicable, joyful feeling in his heart. He knew that this wasn’t his mood at all, but belonged to the original owner.

In the original plot, not only did the original host fail to get close to Tang Linyi, but also got involved in so many other things, so naturally he had some regrets.

Although there was no explicit statement in the wish, Gu Bai guessed that the original host’s most wanted wish was to date Tang Linyi, but that one-track minded boy was afraid that it would once again result in nothing, so he hadn’t dared to say anything.

Having been added as friends, as soon as Gu Bai got online, he could now find Tang Linyi. Driven by the original host, Gu Bai, who had originally wanted to drag Tang Linyi away from meeting Song Xianxun, began to actively pull Tang Linyi’s account along to do tasks together.

These days, in order to help Song Xianxun vent, Ling Chen had issued a daily order in the world channel to hunt down and kill Gu Bai. In a short time, Shangguan Yu and Ningbo Fairy became the world’s gossip celebrities.

Many people speculated about their grudges. After all, who had nothing to do except to burn money all day long to issue a hunt and kill order? Thus someone even specially set up a topic to discuss it on the world communication wall.

Most of the discussions were about how arrogant Shangguan Yu was. She killed people’s accounts in the safe zone, bullied this “Ningbo Fairy” so much by virtue of her wealth and rank, and so on.

No one knew who said on the communication wall that she was an ugly man in real life and was tricking men by using a girl’s account.

Then what followed was a series of posts where this idea got revived over and over again, and the topic immediately shot to the top. After a while, everyone scolded Shangguan Yu as a shameless person, a demon, a damn gay, and so on. It was all stuff to completely blacken his name.

Gu Bai was too lazy to care about any of this now. In one glance, it was obvious that those messages were from a water army. He didn’t even need to think twice about who was the person slandering him.

He was too lazy to quarrel with these people, and besides, he really was a man. He would tell the truth sooner or later, so there was no need to cover it up. It was a waste of time to tangle with these people at this time.

So leaving all these things behind, Gu Bai played his side account all day long and dragged around Tang Linyi.

Because of their vigorous skill, they cooperated well in each quest. From the beginning, Tang Linyi became more and more familiar with him and admired him more and more.

After all, few girls played so well, and Gu Bai’s crisp style was greatly admired by him every time they did tasks together.

And when talking, she wasn’t like other women who always flirted with boys for protection. Tang Linyi guessed that the player called “Bai” should be a very independent and intelligent girl in real life.

And sometimes Gu Bai’s opinions on some things were very mature and unique. Gradually, in addition to playing games, Tang Linyi and Gu Bai talked more, and the topics weren’t limited to the game. They talked about everything in life and learning.

Then Tang Linyi was surprised to find that no matter what topic he talked about, Gu Bai was able to pick it up. He was very talented. Even if he was not proficient in it, he knew a little about it.

Before knowing the real appearance of the other party, the impression of a person is basically based on the other party’s heart. This kind of heart-to-heart communication would promote a person to have some heartfelt feelings.

In just two or three months, Tang Linyi regarded Gu Bai as a close friend, and at the same time, he had a great liking for him. Moreover, Gu Bai’s character of occasionally doing a few bad things also made him really like him.

This kind of vivacity made his impression of Gu Bai, which was a “cold and lofty, talented girl” suddenly become a “vivacious, intelligent girl”. He thought she must be an acute, intelligent girl.

Tang Linyi had never had such relaxed and happy feelings of getting along with others, so his main account was just set there and not used for awhile. He logged into his side account everyday to play with Gu Bai.

His psychological change was very obvious to Gu Bai, and Gu Bai was very satisfied with this achievement. He had dragged Tang Linyi away from Song Xianxun. Now also without Tang Linyi chasing after her, it was hard to say whether Song Xianxun could become a goddess or not. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

Because his mind has always been preoccupied with Tang Linyi, as for the “Extremely Arrogant” he had met that day, Gu Bai had long forgotten about him, let alone his agreement with him to go fight for the strange upgrades.

So the agreed upon day arrived.

The man was so happy that he dealt with all the matters in the real world and entered the game world early. He ran to and fro in the mission hall and waited for half the night without seeing his figure.

With a dark face, he sought to message him privately, but the system voice in his ear prompted:

Sorry, you have been deleted by the other party, please add him as a friend again!

Suddenly, the man immediately quit the game, directly took off the game helmet on his head, and threw it. He smashed a fist on the table, gnashing his teeth.

“Pei Moqian, your brains have really all leaked out for you to believe him!”
