That wasn't a good hint.
If she could not pass through the barrier, it meant that she would not be able to retrieve the bow. If she could not retrieve the bow, she would have wasted the past two months.
Just as Ye Ci was circling the sacred platform anxiously, a system notification rang in her ears, "Your external notification bell is ringing. Please take care of it as soon as possible."
Oh my god. Ye Ci sighed. How did time pass so quickly? Another day had passed!
Ye Nantian and Zuo Xiaolan were dissatisfied with Ye Ci's behavior. After some discussion, they set a strict rule for Ye Ci. She had to log off at 11pm every night. If she did not log off, they would continue to press the bell to harass her. There was an emergency button on the shell of the Fate gaming cabin. Players could press the button if they needed to contact the game in case of an emergency. If the player in the gaming capsule didn't go offline to respond to the ringtone, the people outside could keep pressing the ringtone. When the ringtone accumulated for more than five minutes, the gaming capsule would automatically stop the game.
Ye Ci had tried to stay online, but her parents seemed to be more patient than her. They would press the button until she was ejected.
Now that the bell was ringing, it meant that she had to log off. Normally, she would have just logged off, but now … Ye Ci stared at the Sacred Arena. She was reluctant to leave.
The Elven Temple was located in the Rocky Mountains. According to the situation in the Rocky Mountains, if she went offline now, wouldn't it mean that she would be randomly teleported to another unknown place when she went online? That was a tragedy.
However, the person outside the gaming cabin did not know what Ye Ci was worried about. He continued to press the button. From his unrelenting attitude, it seemed that he would only let her go if she logged off.
The person outside was calm, but Ye Ci was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She wanted to look for Bai Mo or Tan Polang and ask them to inform the person outside of the gaming cabin about her special situation. However, the two of them had already logged off. What kind of day was this? Was the heavens trying to kill her?
Ye Ci tried to think of a solution, but what could she come up with in 5 minutes? She could not think of anything. After 5 minutes, Ye Ci was ejected from the game. She felt that she was nothing more than a coffee table.
Ye Ci climbed out of the gaming cabin and looked at her mother who was standing outside. Zuo Xiaolan smiled at her and said, "I made some millet porridge for you. Do you want to have some before you sleep?"
She shook her head and sighed, "I'm going to take a shower and sleep." Ye Ci looked at her mother with bitterness in her eyes and sighed, "I'm going to take a bath and sleep."
"Why are you so obedient today? Aren't you going to log on again? " Zuo Xiaolan was puzzled by the fact that Ye Ci, who was usually unwilling to log out of the game, was willing to take a shower and go to bed. She watched as Ye Ci walked towards the bathroom as if she had lost her spine.
Ye Ci waved her hand listlessly and replied weakly, "No need …. It's useless anyway."
"What do you mean useless?" Zuo Xiaolan did not understand. She stretched her neck and asked, but the bathroom door was shut tight.
Perhaps it was due to the shock of being forced to log out last night, but Ye Ci did not wake up at 6 am the next day. Instead, she fell into a deep slumber. She only woke up groggily when Zuo Xiaolan knocked on her door. After washing up, Ye Ci noticed that Tan Polang was dressed neatly. He was not as casual as he usually was at home. She looked at him and asked curiously, "Why are you dressed so neatly? Are you going out? Are you going on a blind date? "
Tan Polang rolled his eyes at Ye Ci. He fiddled with his hair and said, "Do you think I'm an old man like Brother Mo who no one wants? I have to go on a blind date after Chinese New Year. I heard that it's a double blind date. Do you think I'm that undesirable? "
Ye Ci smiled and said, "Let me tell you, Bai Mo said the same thing when he was your age. But what do you think now? He's still going on a blind date, a path full of thorns. "
Ye Ci was mocking Bai Mo for going home for Chinese New Year when someone tapped her on the back of her head. She yelped and turned around to see her mother standing behind her with a plate of buns. Zuo Xiaolan said, "You can stay here and be naughty. When Bai Mo comes back, he'll teach you a lesson."
Ye Ci took two buns and said, "There's only you and Polang here. If Bai Mo finds out, he'll definitely tell on you."
Zuo Xiaolan rolled her eyes at her. She didn't want to argue with her, so she sat down and started eating her buns. After eating one, she said, "Polang is going out later. You should go with him."
"Going out? For what? "Ye Ci glanced at Tan Polang," He's already an adult. Why should I go with him to protect him? "
"I'm just worried that you'll grow moldy at home. If not for that, who would care if you go or not?"
Although Ye Ci was unwilling to go with Zuo Xiaolan, she was clearly no match for Zuo Xiaolan. After protesting multiple times, she had no choice but to change her clothes and follow Tan Polang out of the house. The city was bustling with activity as Chinese New Year approached. Ye Ci and Tan Polang were waiting for a bus at the bus stop. She yawned out of boredom, "What's so good about the Gaming Expo? Most of the video game companies are on the verge of collapse because of Fate. Why are you looking at the promotion of a video game instead of playing a real game? "
"Say, sister Little Ci, why don't you have the vigor of a young person? Isn't the Gaming Expo something that young people of our age are passionate about? There's a new game to try out, a tournament to watch, and even a cosplay show. It's so good and lively, but you're not interested at all! "Tan Polang protested.
Ye Ci pursed her lips. Young people? She was already nearing 40 years old if she took into account her age in her previous life. Young people …
"Let me tell you, Glory Inc. has invited a lot of famous cosplayers to perform. They're super beautiful, and there are also a lot of handsome men. A girl like you who doesn't even have a boyfriend is the perfect candidate to drool over!" Tan Polang pursed his lips as he spoke to Ye Ci.
Ye Ci rolled her eyes at Tan Polang. She wanted to retort back at the brat. Who said that I don't have a boyfriend? Fleeting Time, right? Fleeting Time, right? But she would never say that out loud. Fleeting Time was a game. Fleeting Time was Gongzi You's boyfriend, but he was not Ye Ci's boyfriend.
She was very clear about the difference between her gaming life and her personal life.
Tan Polang was slightly uneasy when Ye Ci did not refute him. Have I gone too far? Should I strangle Fleeting Time before he's even born? "Sister Little Ci, are you in a relationship with Fleeting Time?" asked Fleeting Time in a hushed voice.
"What relationship?"
"A couple?"
"Well …" Ye Ci did not want to deny the truth, "Fleeting Time is Gongzi You's boyfriend."
Tan Polang tilted his head as he stared at Ye Ci. Her words … It sounded like she was admitting that there was a problem with him, but it was not the case at all. This meant that Ye Ci would only acknowledge their relationship in the game. She had drawn a line between them in real life, and that she had nothing to do with Fleeting Time.
Tan Polang suddenly felt a great pressure weighing down on him. He looked up at the clear sky and placed his hands into his pockets. He sighed, "Oh God, please don't give me a girlfriend like Ye Ci. I don't have as much stamina as Fleeting Time …"
Tan Polang was elated when they arrived at the venue. Ye Ci's expression was the complete opposite of Ye Ci's. Oh my God, why are there so many people here? Why does it look like a wet market? Isn't this a gaming convention? Why does it feel like the Spring Festival? Everywhere they looked, there were people …
Tan Polang shuttled through the crowd with Ye Ci in tow. He had grown much taller over the past year, and he was panting heavily as he ran with Ye Ci in tow. There were a few times when Ye Ci was almost pushed away by the crowd, but Tan Polang was quick to pull her back.
Ye Ci shook off Tan Polang when they finally arrived at an area where there were fewer people. She bent over and panted heavily. She was so tired. She was going to die from exhaustion! Especially today, she was wearing a pair of eight-centimeter high stilettos and running for so long. It would be a miracle if she didn't die of exhaustion!
Tan Polang stared at her, "Women are so troublesome. Look at you. Why are you wearing such high heels? Aren't you just looking for trouble?"
Ye Ci raised her leg and gave Tan Polang a kick, "What are you talking about? You're the one who said that we're just going for a walk. If I knew that we're going to a place like this, I wouldn't have followed you!"
Just as the two of them were quarreling, gasps of surprise could be heard from a nearby area, "That's so cool!"
"Wow, that's not something a human can do!"
"That's enough to compete with the top players in the world!"
… …
Tan Polang immediately looked towards the area where the crowd was cheering. His eyes lit up, and he pulled Ye Ci towards the area, "Sister Xiao Ci, let's go take a look! Let's go take a look!"
"What's that?" Ye Ci's leg was still hurting, and she had no strength to resist. She could only stumble along with him towards the area that was already packed with people.
"It's eSports, eSports! Sister Xiao Ci, don't tell me that you don't even know about this! "Tan Polang looked back at Ye Ci with a smile. (To be continued.) If you like this series, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
