The person in front of the screen suddenly moved their hand, as if using some kind of magic. With her motion, a circular magic array slowly appeared on the ground, starting with a dark purple light that grew brighter and brighter. Eventually, the entire screen flickered along with it.

The brilliance faded, and a sleek black leopard with only a bright blue gem embedded in its forehead appeared before their eyes.

Yingying took a big step and leaped onto the cheetah's back, then immediately a message box popped up.

"Little Devil Yingying": Press F to come up!

Following her directions, Qi Yang mounted the ride and held down the left key to rotate the camera. Suddenly, his face turned red.

In the game, Qiyang chose to play as an adult male, while this Yingying is the image of a loli little sister. In this situation, when the two of them ride together on a mount, the man sits behind the loli, his hands wrapping around her body from both sides and resting on the mount's back. As for the little loli named Yingying, she curls up in the embrace of her character, blinking her big eyes in a cute and harmonious manner.

In the game, Qi Yang rarely encounters girls. Most of the online friends who play MOBA are guys. Suddenly, he meets someone on the internet who should be a girl, and it's even more coincidental that they have experienced such ambiguous interactions.

Qiyang, who failed his Love studies,

I suddenly felt my heart racing inexplicably.

If this turns out to be a girl, wouldn't she be the first stranger that I've met in the game?

Blush...

So embarrassed!.....

In Qi Yang's mind, a little figure was covering its face and blushing in its own little world, exuding the innocence of a young boy. The mischievous little devil Ying Ying had already taken off on her mount, soaring into a dark-colored forest.

Two crescent moons hung in the sky, one a transparent blue and the other, like it had been dyed with the blood of a thousand years, a dark and profound crimson.

The black panther mount landed in the dense and dark forest. Qiyang noticed that Yingying had jumped off the mount first. He also wanted to get down, but as he was about to press the F key to dismount, he received a message from Yingying.

"Little Demon Yingying": Don't come down, wait for me here~

Immediately after, the petite figure in the game raised her slender arm and grasped the bullhorn giant axe behind her.

After a purple light flashed by, Loli had already assumed a posture, with a giant axe in her hand, splitting the air in front of her into an X shape. She moved her two short legs and swiftly dashed into the dark forest.

Qi Yang remained motionless, merely glancing around his surroundings.

The forest is so dark and scary. Just now, Yingying ran a few steps into it and was completely swallowed by darkness, disappearing without a trace. In a place like this, you never know when a demon or monster might suddenly appear. It's probably a wilderness area, where monsters respawn for people to level up and practice their skills.

In the top right corner of the screen, there is a small map, densely covered with the symbols of pine trees. These symbols represent the area where the protagonist is currently located. Qi Yang's position is marked by a blue dot, and there is another red dot on the map, indicating the location of Yingying, who is currently not in the protagonist's immediate vicinity.

Just as he was about to ask her what she was up to, Qi Yang suddenly noticed at the bottom of his screen that his experience bar had started skyrocketing.

Congratulations, you have reached level 2!

Congratulations, you have reached Level 3! New skill acquired: Throat Lock!

The wind howled across the desolate wasteland, carrying with it the scent of decay. The barren earth stretched as far as the eye could see, its lifeless surface cracked and unyielding. In this forsaken land, a lone figure stood, their silhouette a contrast against the bleak backdrop. Clad in tattered robes, the traveler gazed into the distance with eyes that held a combination of determination and weariness. They had journeyed far and long, their path fraught with danger and uncertainty. But still, they pressed on, driven by a relentless pursuit of an elusive truth. The weight of the world seemed to rest upon their shoulders, yet they stood resolute, their resolve unwavering. With each step, they vowed to unlock the mysteries that lay shrouded in the darkness, to uncover the secrets that would change the course of their destiny. And so, they ventured forth, their footsteps echoing in the desolation, a testament to their indomitable spirit.

Congratulations, you have reached Level 18! New skill acquired: Multiple Body Clones!

Congratulations, you have reached level 19! New skill obtained: Skill Enhancement!

"Hey, Qiqi, can we not play together because we're in different factions?" Qin Yu studied for a long time before noticing that Qiyang's side was pitch black, while his own side had a sunny and prosperous landscape on the map. At first glance, Qin Yu couldn't believe his eyes and leaned over, raising his hand to vigorously tap on Qiyang's screen several times. "Damn! How did you reach level 20 so quickly?! Is it possible to cheat in this game?!"

"No, forget about it... "Qiyang turned his head and gave a bitter laugh, moving the cursor and clicking next to his profile picture. "There's this boss, probably a girl. She talks like one. She's helping me level up."

When I heard these two words, "me, sister?" Qin Yu immediately put on a lewd expression, grabbed Qi Yang's face with one hand and shook it, saying, "Oh, Xiao Qi, I didn't expect this! You're usually so boring, but now you've hooked a girl just by playing a new game??"

"It was her who asked me to play with her!" Qi Yang's face was pinched into a pouty expression, as he innocently stared at Qin Yu who was nonchalant by the side. "There must be some girls who chase after you and know how to play this game. You can find a few high-level ones to play with you too."

"No, no, no, they're not the same!" Qin Yu lifted up another finger and waved it in front of Qi Yang. "The girls online, they have this mysterious aura! It's great. You can have some fun with them."

"Just go and play by yourself... I'm only here to keep you company."

"Please don't! Didn't we join that club?"

"...It's not like I willingly went in there either."

Qin Yu squinted his eyes and tapped his head against Qiyang's forehead, "Participate in some human interaction activities! Even joining a gaming club will do! You've been immersed in games all day, and it's making you dull! Those girls online are not actually girls! Getting to know them won't make you lose a piece of meat! Just don't get scammed for money, isn't that simple enough?"

"Um..." The words he spoke, Qi Yang could understand them. It's just that suddenly admitting that he is a "二次元遊戲宅" (an otaku who lives in the online gaming world) was a bit difficult. He could only silently hum to himself a couple of times to avoid the topic, turning his head to focus on the experience bar of his character still rising on the screen.

After reaching level 20, the experience bar noticeably slowed down its progression.

Qiyang reached level 22 after grinding for a while, and he noticed that the numbers displayed on his experience bar had stopped increasing. The red dot on the mini-map also began moving towards his location.

In just a few seconds, Yingying appeared in front of Qiyang again. It was the same giant axe, but this time, she charged straight towards him. Just as the large axe was about to strike him, Qiyang stood tall, preparing to send a message to remind her that he was her teammate. However, a new message had already appeared on the screen.

"You have died and will be sent to the starting position!"

What... killed in one hit? At level 22 and still so weak?

At that moment, Yingying also sent a message.

"Little Demon Yingying: Sorry... You haven't learned the teleportation skill yet. I have something urgent to attend to and need to log off. I can only kill you and send you back (T . T)."

"Little Devil Yingying": Don't be upset, okay... I'll give you some gold coins to make up for it when you come back online next time! o(^_^)o

"Little Demon Yingying": Good night! I hope we can see each other again tomorrow~ Have sweet dreams! Kisses~ (^з^)-☆
