However, when Qin Yu chose his profession, he was very decisive. He went straight in and selected "Green Forest Archer," then immediately began playing the game.

"You enter the public chat and type a '1' so I can add you as a friend," Qin Yumei happily looked at the cute little sister character she created on the screen, then turned her head to show off to Qi Yang. However, she noticed that he had a creepy expression as if he had seen a monster, staring at her...

With just a glance, Qi Yang swept Qin Yu for a moment. He then let out a soft sigh, searched for the chat box in the game, and typed the number "1" in the "world" channel.

I see. Let me find a way to add you, and we can do the beginner's mission together.

"Mhm."

As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, a friend request popped up on Qiyang's game screen.

Thinking that Qin Yu had already added him, Qi Yang didn't hesitate and clicked accept, then began to study how to play this game on his own.

"The 'Magic Prison' follows the typical route of an RPG game, where one fights monsters to level up and obtains equipment and weapons. Different levels allow players to access different difficulty levels of dungeons, and reaching the maximum level enables participation in PvP battles against other players. The controls are relatively simple, using numbers 1-7 and the QWERASDF keys on the keyboard. That's all there is to it. Currently, Qi Yang is at level one, so he only has two skills available, which are 'Backstab' and 'Novice Stealth'."

As soon as the game loaded, the character found themselves in a pitch-black small room. The lighting was dim, and the floor was empty with nothing to see except for the old, peeling wooden walls adorned with some ancient totem scrolls.

Qi Yang pressed the arrow keys and walked around the room, exploring its corners. He noticed a flickering oil lamp in one corner, accompanied by an open book placed near it.

This should be the clue to the novice's starting point.

As I walked in, about to click on it and start the first newbie mission, a message suddenly popped up. The intricately carved dialogue box had a delicate appearance, with a unique cursive font style.

"Little Demon Yingying": Hello, big brother!

Hmm? Who is this?

Qiyang clicked on the person's profile picture and glanced at it, suddenly widening his eyes.

Level 85, Giant Axe Warrior, female.

Relationship: Friends.

Boss!

"When was this added?"

He glanced at Qin Yu next to him, who was still on his own character interface, studying how to add friends...

It turns out that the friend request earlier was sent by this Yingying. Without any hesitation, I added it without thinking.

Awkward. Should I delete her?

As I hesitated, the other party sent another new message.

"Little Devil Yingying": Let's play together~ it's too boring for me to level up alone!

Um...

Qiyang pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then tapped on the reply box to start inputting his response.

"Qi Yang: I just started playing, only at level one. I don't think I can play with experts like you..."

"Little Devil Yingying": It's okay! I'm so bored alone (T . T) Big brother, I'll take you to level up!

"Qi Yang: Um... if you don't mind, that's not a problem."

"Little Demon Yingying": Mmm!

On the screen, a team invitation popped up suddenly. Qi Yang hesitated for a moment but eventually clicked "accept". As someone who didn't really play RPG games, the thing he disliked the most was leveling up! Mindlessly grinding monsters and leveling up by repeatedly pressing the same one or two skills in front of a computer was just too boring. There was no sense of game experience at all. If someone could lead him, he could quickly reach a higher level, engage in some PvP (player versus player) battles, and perhaps find some enjoyment in this game.

"Little Devil Yingying": Big Brother, come out of the beginner's house! I'm waiting for you at the door!

"Qi Yang": Hmm... Okay.

Qiyang controlled the person to walk out of the room, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw a person emitting a purple light standing in front of them.

On top of their head, five big characters with red borders - Little Devil Ying Ying.

Her character image is that of a petite loli, even shorter than the cute one Qin Yu created. It's like the image of a dwarf. Especially from Qi Yang's perspective, all you can really see is her round, chubby head and short legs. However, this little girl is dressed in a black suit of armor, and let's be honest, this set of equipment is really cool! It emits a purple glow all over, every detail and texture is handled excellently. And this little loli, she's also carrying a giant battle axe that's twice her height. The blade shines with a silver chill, even just looking at it with the naked eye feels incredibly sharp. Its shape is reminiscent of a bull's horn, with elegant arcs, yet it possesses a terrifying power.

Qi Yang's eyes widened as he hurriedly typed a string of words in the chat box.

"Qi Yang": Wow, your equipment looks so cool!

"Little Devil Yingying": Hehe, I'll give you a set too, if you like~(^O^)

Qiyang suddenly developed an inexplicable fondness for this person. Who cares who she is? When playing MOBA games, wouldn't you also beg a skilled teammate to add you as a friend and play together? It's no different!

"Little Demon Yingying": Big brother, are you pulling an all-nighter? Are you busy tomorrow?

Qi Yang thought for a moment and replied.

"Qi Yang: Play until midnight before the dormitory closes, we have early classes tomorrow."

"Little Devil Yingying": Oh (u_u), okay... Are you still coming to play tomorrow?

This question stumped Qiyang.

It's hard to say whether Qi Yang will continue playing the game tomorrow, as his interest level is only about 30%. After all, there is still ranked mode in XX League, a new battle mode in XX Survival, and AFK (quitting the game) is not allowed in XX Conquest.

Er, so conflicted.

However, Qi Yang decided to casually reply to her first. After all, they were just online friends. If he really didn't feel like playing this game anymore, she couldn't possibly crawl out from the computer opposite him and threaten him, right?

"Qi Yang: Hmm, sure, we can play. Let's get in touch when I come online tomorrow."

"Little Devil Yingying": Mmm! Okay then~ I'll be waiting for you online!

"Qi Yang: Alright."
