Chapter 144: Meeting a Retard
Li Yan’s bodyguards brought the captive robots to Chu Luo’s suite.
The bodyguards left quickly.
Chu Luo walked around the motionless robots a few times. Suddenly, she had the urge to tear one of the robots apart and take a look.
Li Yan went to his bedroom to wash up.
When Chu Luo looked for him, he happened to be walking out in his pajamas.
Li Yan was handsome to begin with. When he wasn’t emanating cold air, his body naturally exuded a sense of nobility. At this moment, he was wearing a sleeping robe, revealing a section of bronze skin below his neck. Coupled with his straight and powerful calves, he actually looked more feral as he walked.
Chu Luo’s words got stuck in her throat as she stared at him.
Li Yan was delighted by her reaction. He walked over and deliberately lowered his voice to ask, “Luoluo, what do you want to say?”
Chu Luo’s height happened to reach Li Yan’s chin. As he approached, her gaze met the bare skin peeking out of his sleeping robe.
She could feel the heat emanating from his body and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“Your face is very hot.” Li Yan placed his broad palm on her cheek.
Chu Luo reacted and subconsciously wanted to lean back.
Li Yan retracted his hand. “It’s late. Go to sleep.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked around him towards the bedroom door.
After taking two steps, she suddenly remembered what she had wanted to say and stopped. “I want to study these robots. Do you have any tools?”
“Yes.” Li Yan turned to look at her. “That person hasn’t been found yet and will come looking for me anytime. The most important thing on these robots is the control panel. In order to not be destroyed, I’ll get someone to move these robots to my place. If you want to study them, just go to my place.”
Chu Luo definitely had no objections. “Okay.”
With that, she happily returned to her bedroom.
The moment Chu Luo’s bedroom door closed, Li Yan’s expression returned to its usual coldness.
At this moment, Qin Ming walked in and reported to him, “Master, that person is from the ‘Seven Evils.’”
Li Yan’s expression turned even colder. He tilted his head to look at the few robots standing there and said, “That person is still in this hotel. Search carefully.”
“Yes.”
Qin Ming left.
Li Yan then walked towards his room.
The next day.
When Chu Luo walked out of the bedroom, Li Yan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, using his computer.
The curtains in the living room were all drawn open. The sunlight shone on him, casting a golden glow.
Chu Luo scanned the living room and realized that the robots had disappeared.
She walked towards him and asked as she walked, “Did you get someone to take those robots away?”
“Mm.”
“Then we’ll go to your place later.” After saying that, she thought for a while and said, “Forget it, let’s go after the competition. I want to study the teams that have advanced.”
Li Yan looked up at her.
Chu Luo had already walked to his side. Seeing the fruit on the coffee table, she took a grape and peeled it before eating it.
Li Yan’s gaze stopped on her lips for two seconds before he looked away to continue with his business.
Soon, Tang Zhiyun and the others arrived.
They usually ate at Chu Luo’s place. Seeing Li Yan eating here today, they felt a little restrained for no reason and subconsciously slowed down during their meal.
After the meal, Li Yan left.
The boys subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Mingtao couldn’t hold it in anymore. He chased after Chu Luo and asked, “Sister Chu, what exactly does your brother do? I feel like I’m facing a highly-ranked superior when I’m with him. I don’t even dare to breathe too forcefully.”
After saying that, he took a deep breath in an exaggerated manner. “Ah… much more relaxing now.”
Wang Mingtao’s exaggerated appearance amused Chu Luo. She said, “He’s just a company CEO. Why are you afraid of him?”
“It’s not fear. It’s reverence.” Wang Mingtao corrected her. “Sister Chu, you don’t know. When I went to Imperial University to play previously, I met some of the school’s heads. I feel that those heads don’t have Brother Chu’s powerful aura.”
Chu Luo smiled and didn’t reply. The group sat in front of the computer.
Tang Zhiyun said at this moment, “The gaming team didn’t announce how the finals will be played this time. We can only figure out the opponent’s ability first.”
“Those who can advance must be the best,” said Xie Minghai. “I feel that we might as well study the Thirty-six Stratagems instead of studying them. Junior’s application of the Thirty-six Stratagems is excellent. We can deploy the stratagems for every match.”
Yu Lei agreed.
At this moment, Xu Qingfeng gestured to the others. “Everyone, take a look at the forum.”
The rest of them logged into the forum at the same time.
When they saw what it was, Xie Minghai and Wang Mingtao immediately exclaimed.
“There are actually so many people who opened a betting post to bet on us winning!”
“Haha… It’s useless even if they did. Now that many people think we will win, no matter how many posts they opened, they won’t be able to win money.”
At this point, everyone looked at Chu Luo.
“Junior, you’re far-sighted. You closed the bet so early. As long as we win the last match, we’ll make boatloads of money.”
Chu Luo curled her lips and started reading the other posts.
Most of them were discussing the semi-finals.
Now, her [Bai Ling] had become something of a legend. Everyone compared the top ten players in the world, hoping to find out that [Bai Ling] was their other identity.
Looking at these posts, Chu Luo suddenly felt that it wasn’t a bad idea to not reveal her identity. It was quite fun to have others guessing who she was.
The other half of the posts was about her bet, and many people were jealous and envious of her.
Chu Luo read a few of these posts and snorted.
“Sister Chu, why don’t we team up and PK? I haven’t teamed up with you in a long time.”
Wang Mingtao, who was sitting opposite her, looked at her expectantly.
Chu Luo looked up at him and was about to decline.
“Sister Chu, don’t be in a hurry to say no.” Wang Mingtao saw her expression and guessed that she would reject him. His face fell and he said, “Ever since last night, someone has been chasing me around to PK me. This person is too shameless. He’s only level 95, but he’s actually chasing after me, a level 80, to PK.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and said in a straightforward manner, “Blame yourself for being lousy. You’re being chased down and beaten up by someone who is only 15 levels higher than you. Don’t you feel ashamed saying that?”
Wang Mingtao choked on his words for a long time before saying, “Do you think everyone is as crazy as you? If I could defeat someone who’s at level 95, I wouldn’t have you help me vent my anger.”
Chu Luo actually felt that what he said made sense and said, “Give me your account, I’ll help you teach that person a lesson.”
“We’re not teaming up anymore?”
“Why team up? I don’t want to be called a bully.”
“Sister Chu, your words make so much sense. I’ve already logged out. Go ahead and log in.”
After hearing their conversation, Tang Zhiyun and the other two looked at them with sparkling eyes.
The four of them thought at the same time: ‘You call this not bullying?’
The moment Chu Luo logged into Wang Mingtao’s account, the other party sent her a few disdainful messages.
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Yo! You know you can’t beat me, so you ran away like a coward?”
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “You are indeed trash. Didn’t you say that the players from your empire are powerful? Doesn’t seem like it to me!”
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Other than [Y] and [Bai Ling], I don’t think there are any other players in your empire who are presentable. If not for these two, you would all be a bunch of trash.”
After she read these three messages, Chu Luo’s lips curled into a displeased smirk.
[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Cut the crap, let’s PK.”
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Yo~~~ Brother, why do you suddenly sound so bold? Did you find a helper?”
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Come on, I said that I’ll fight two against one. Find an accomplice and I’ll beat you until you doubt your life.”
[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Remember what you’re saying now.”
System Notification:
[[Evil Dragon Crossing the River] has launched ten consecutive PKs against [Evil God Defying Heavens]. Accept OR Decline?]
[Evil God Defying Heavens] directly accepted it.
The PK began and the two of them were teleported to the PK arena.
Chu Luo didn’t give [Evil God Defying Heavens] any time to talk nonsense. She directly attacked him fiercely.
Their PK didn’t attract much attention at first. When [Evil God Defying Heavens] lost five rounds in a row and was getting beaten up until he couldn’t retaliate, many players ran over to watch.
“D*mn! What’s going on? A level 95 player is beaten up by a level 80 player until he couldn’t retaliate?”
“Could the level 80 player be an NPC? How can there be such a powerful madman?”
“Tsk! This operation is too awesome. That movement and use of skills are simply seamless. I feel that even if the players who are PKing with him are at the max level, they will be beaten up until they can’t retaliate.”
…
While everyone was spamming, [Evil God Defying Heavens] was already begging for mercy.
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Brother, are you done? I don’t want to PK with you anymore. I want to quit.”
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Big Brother, please spare me. If this continues, my account will drop in level!”
[Evil God Defying Heavens]: “Owww~”
An hour later, there was a system notification.
[Player [Evil God Defying Heavens] was beaten back to level 1 by player [Evil Dragon Crossing the River] due to his lack of strength.]
“Gasp… This [Evil Dragon Crossing the River] is too ruthless!”
“Live and let live. [Evil God Defying Heavens] was already level 95. Isn’t it too ruthless to directly banish him back to level 1?”
“This [Evil Dragon Crossing the River] is from the Empire. Is everyone from the Empire like this? If they can’t stand the person, they’ll send him or her back to the Novice Village? Aren’t they afraid of encountering stronger opponents and suffering retribution?”
…
A group of commenters criticizing [Evil Dragon Crossing the River] kept surfacing.
Wang Mingtao, who was standing behind Chu Luo, rolled up his sleeves in anger. “D*mn! See if I don’t retort back at them.”
“Why talk back so much to these retards?” Chu Luo typed out a message.
[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “If you can’t stand it, PK. What kind of ability is it to hide behind a computer and talk about others?”
Chu Luo had just sent out this message when she saw [Evil God Defying Heavens] buying a loudspeaker and cursing on the World News.
The group of players who wanted to speak up for [Evil God Defying Heavens]: “…”
That person must be a retard. What a sore loser. He actually bought a loudspeaker to berate someone?
At this moment, the system announced:
[Due to the poor manners of the player [Evil God Defying Heavens], whose usage of foul language has polluted the gaming environment, their account has been banned. Hopefully, everyone can contribute to a caring Internet environment.]
All the players: “…”
The gaming team was even more ruthless!
