Chapter 41: Strange Leng Qing Qiu
Carried back to bed by Leng Qing Qiu, Lu Zhiyin shrunk into the quilt.
Beside her, Leng Qing Qiu lay outside the quilt.
Leng Qing Qiu looked at her palm, she couldn’t quite understand her own train of thought.
“…”
It was still early, usually at this time she would either be in the basement processing captured prey or lurking in the red-light district, patrolling for illegal activities.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t gone out to do anything serious for two days.
Closing her eyes, Leng Qing Qiu decided not to think about things related to Lu Zhiyin for now, otherwise her brain would overheat.
Patting Lu Zhiyin’s shoulder through the quilt, Leng Qing Qiu looked at the white hair revealed by the girl and suddenly felt the urge to touch that hair.
She inexplicably felt that the white hair must have a great texture.
But Leng Qing Qiu didn’t do it in the end, she was already strange enough, she didn’t want to become stranger.
“Accompany me out again tomorrow night.”
Leng Qing Qiu was prepared to catch another prey, this time she wanted Lu Zhiyin to participate in the process of executing the prey.
“…Ah? Um… I know…”
Inside the quilt, Lu Zhiyin still hadn’t peeked out. Her voice was muffled, but she did reply to Leng Qing Qiu.
Having received a positive reply, Leng Qing Qiu felt relieved. She sat up, leaned against the headboard, and looked at the computer screen not far away.
In the end, she didn’t choose to turn on the computer, but just closed her eyes.
Inside the quilt, long not noticing Leng Qing Qiu’s movement, Lu Zhiyin subconsciously thought she was asleep.
Quietly peeking her head out, Lu Zhiyin took a breath of air. Naked, she didn’t want to expose herself to Leng Qing Qiu’s sight.
She was a man. Although her body was now female, her psychology hadn’t changed that quickly.
“Let’s expose as little of my body as possible…”
Muttering to herself, Lu Zhiyin took out her phone.
Fortunately, before Leng Qing Qiu carried her back to the bedroom, she managed to grab her phone in time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to do anything now except sleep…
Not sleepy at all at the moment, she opened her phone and looked at the downloaded apps. Lu Zhiyin temporarily ignored the novel apps and opened the game called “Heroic Chronicle”.
After a QQ icon flashed by, the game started updating. Then Lu Zhiyin chose to use her QQ account to quickly create an account, skipping the beginner tutorial, and looked at her friends list.
Well… there was only one friend named “White Cat”, which was Leng Qing Qiu’s account.
Her rank was Gold, and she last logged in a week ago.
It seemed Leng Qing Qiu didn’t play this game often.
“Hoo…”
Exhaling a breath, Lu Zhiyin clicked on the server rankings. The highest-ranked player was only around King with ten-star rank. It seemed that although this world’s game was popular, there weren’t many experts yet.
Casually picking a few beginner heroes, Lu Zhiyin quickly started her ranked journey. She wasn’t good at communicating with people, so finding a live-streaming platform or a studio was probably unlikely.
Then… if she wanted to earn money from the game, she would have to first climb up the ranks and gain some fame before advertising and accepting orders.
Thinking this, Lu Zhiyin carelessly controlled her beginner character and easily won the match.
Each game only took about six minutes, which was slightly faster than the national game called “King of the Glory” in her previous life, but it was still quite simple.
One game after another, an hour passed, and Lu Zhiyin was starting to get bored.
Although she won every game, her rank was still very low. At this rate, she didn’t know how long it would take to reach the point where she could accept orders.
“Alas…”
Sighing softly, Lu Zhiyin exited the ranked match interface.
At the top of the phone screen, Leng Qing Qiu’s message flashed by.
Exiting the game and opening QQ, she was greeted with a question.
“Still not sleeping? Why are you playing games?”
The text, without any apparent emotion, quietly appeared on the screen. Through the screen, Lu Zhiyin wasn’t as afraid of Leng Qing Qiu.
Indeed, compared to face-to-face, she was more normal on the internet.
“I want to earn money through games, so my rank needs to be higher. I will pay you back.”
Subconsciously, she brought the conversation to money. Typing rapidly with both hands, Lu Zhiyin no longer stuttered through the screen.
On the other side, outside the quilt, Leng Qing Qiu quietly looked at the text on the screen.
“…”
She didn’t really want Lu Zhiyin to pay her back so quickly, but it was hard to say such things directly.
Her mind was still very clear, not sleepy at all, and she couldn’t even avoid the problem.
“Play a few games with me.”
She didn’t know what kind of mood she was in when she typed these words, but once they were out, it was too late to take them back.
“Okay.”
Lu Zhiyin quickly agreed to her request, and didn’t forget to add an OK emoji after the text.
Shaking her head to herself, Leng Qing Qiu clicked on the game she hadn’t played in a while.
Earning money through games? Leng Qing Qiu knew about this kind of work, it seemed to be called boosting?
This kind of work required a certain level of skill, and Leng Qing Qiu didn’t think that Lu Zhiyin, who had just started playing games, would have the required skill.
As long as she confirmed that her skills were very bad, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore.
Thinking this, Leng Qing Qiu invited the person named “Radio” on her friends list.
Lu Zhiyin immediately accepted the invitation. Not long after, as a match ended, in a place Lu Zhiyin couldn’t see, Leng Qing Qiu’s expression turned grim.
“…”
Without a word, Leng Qing Qiu quit the game. Lu Zhiyin’s skills were quite good. Although it might have been due to her low rank, Leng Qing Qiu still couldn’t feel at ease.
She didn’t want Lu Zhiyin to have other ways to make money.
“What’s wrong? Not playing anymore?”
On the phone screen, Lu Zhiyin’s QQ message appeared.
On the phone, she seemed to no longer be afraid of herself, but herself couldn’t feel happy about it.
Without answering Lu Zhiyin’s question, Leng Qing Qiu dejectedly turned off her phone.
She threw off the quilt beside her, and then, a naked white-haired girl entered her sight.
“…?”
With a look of surprise and panic on her face, the phone in her hand slipped down.
Lu Zhiyin didn’t care about her phone anymore. She hastily covered her chest with her hand.
“W-what’s wrong…?”
Without her phone, she returned to her timid appearance, even her speech was not fluent.
“…It’s nothing. Don’t play games anymore, let’s sleep.”
Opening her mouth, Leng Qing Qiu didn’t know what to say in the end. Her actions were indeed inexplicable.
Taking the phone away from Lu Zhiyin’s chest, Leng Qing Qiu covered Lu Zhiyin with the quilt again.
“…Mmm…”
Under the quilt, Lu Zhiyin’s brain was still a little foggy. She didn’t know what illness Leng Qing Qiu was having again.
Perhaps she was angry because Lu Zhiyin didn’t pay attention to her while playing games?
Subconsciously thinking it was related to the game, she wasn’t female and her thoughts weren’t delicate enough, so she couldn’t quite guess Leng Qing Qiu’s mind.
“Next time I play with her… I’ll give her some opportunities to perform…”
Muttering to herself, without her phone, even if she didn’t want to sleep, Lu Zhiyin could only obediently close her eyes.
