Chapter 23 Forum
"What's wrong?" After Chu Deng finished dealing with the red-haired kangaroo, she turned around and saw three people staring at her blankly.
Xingchen's lips moved slightly, her eyes darting away, unable to look at the dazzling woman.
Liu Hua was fumbling with her backpack with a conflicted expression, really not wanting to give up the items she had painstakingly collected and start a new fire-type ability user account.
The main reason is that someone had tried this game before and found that no matter how many accounts you switch, your special ability won't change. Even if you log into someone else's account, the system will detect it after 24 hours and automatically change the player's special ability. So Liu Hua had no choice but to give up the idea of deleting the account.
The first to speak was Yan Mengqi, her eyes brimming with tears. She tremblingly accepted the sword Chu Deng handed her, clutching it tightly to her chest. After a long pause, she lowered her head, her voice muffled and nasal, and said, "Deng'er, from now on, you will be my sworn brother!"
Chu Deng bent down and looked up, like the student who had made his deskmate cry and was at a loss, crawling into the desk drawer and making faces at his deskmate who was lying on the floor crying.
"You're not going to cry, are you?"
Yan Mengqi, who had never experienced the power of this action before, laughed. She wiped away the tears that were about to fall and said in a rough voice, "I'm not going to cry, the wind just got in my eyes!"
"Your snot is running down your face," Xingchen said calmly from the side.
Yan Mengqi glared fiercely at Xingchen.
Liu Hua subtly tugged at Xingchen and whispered a reminder, "Brother Bing, you'll be disliked if you interrupt girls like that."
Xingchen shuddered, subtly observing Chu Deng's expression. Only when he realized that Chu Deng seemed oblivious to his earlier remark did he slowly relax.
Chu Deng was frowning as he looked at the time on the system panel. After comforting Yan Mengqi, he lost focus and stopped paying attention to their commotion.
"Let's finish this as soon as possible. This has been so complicated, I'm a little sleepy." Chu Deng rubbed his temples, then instructed Xingchen to make an ice sled. He had Liu Hua twist a rope out of plants, put the seriously injured Liu Hua and Yan Mengqi on the ice sled, and then he and Xingchen pulled the sled forward, one on each side.
"Team Leader Lei and that level six water-type guy are both behind the gas station." As a teammate, Liu Hua, with Yang Guizhou's help, lay on the ice sled and gave directions to the two people pulling the sled.
Beside her, Yan Mengqi, in a good mood, was humming a song, "Little sled is so good, so good~ No need to drink water, no need to eat grass, no need to eat grass~ I ride the ice sled, running fast, running fast~ Giddy-up, giddy-up, running fast—ouch!"
The two people pulling the cart felt offended and sped up to escape being mocked. Yan Mengqi lost her balance on her ice cart and accidentally bit her tongue.
Liu Hua, gripping the edge of the ice sled, laughed. Serves him right.
The four of them were having a great time, and Zoe's dorm room, which was offline, was also filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"This...this could be the legendary sword with a spirit?!" Roommate Nicole perfectly mimicked Zoe's surprised expression, making another roommate, Catherine, burst into laughter.
“And then there’s that!” Catherine beckoned with her finger, mimicking Zoe’s tone perfectly. “Please enlighten me.”
Nicole shook her head and corrected, "No, no, it should be 'please, enlighten me'."
"Hahahaha!" X2
Zoe rolled her eyes, already anticipating that she would be the target of her two friends' teasing before the next joke came out, but she still couldn't help but defend herself, "You two, that's enough. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to beat the lamp either."
"Yes, yes, we can't beat you, but now it's you who's become a big celebrity, hahaha!" Nicole wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and took a long time to calm down before speaking.
"Don't worry, Nicole and I have already contacted the administrators of the AA forum to help with the censoring. We've also deleted that ridiculous video of yours. We've done everything we can to protect your reputation. Since your account was deleted, you can just create a new one and log back in," Catherine said with a smile.
"Thanks." Zoe relaxed. She had just logged off when she found out that the forum pro had hacked into the game's backend and streamed the dungeon live on the forum, allowing people in real life to see what was happening inside. As soon as she logged off, she was bombarded with laughter from her roommates, but thankfully, while they were a bit sarcastic, they were still reliable.
"However, I downloaded the video and I'm saving it for you to enjoy, hahaha!" Nicole proudly opened the editing master's work again. Zoe's words in the video had been edited into a song, with classic quotes repeated over and over. Watching it made me dizzy and I just wanted to take back my assessment of the two of them as reliable.
"Delete it now, or we're done!!!" Zoe roared in the dorm, but her anger was drowned out by her roommates' laughter.
Meanwhile, in Japan, Chisui was secretly glad that she had logged off early.
Haruna Nishikujo was also worried for her partner. "Chiharu, you don't know, Zoe's grotesque video was just taken down. The administrator is trying to retrieve the video for confidentiality reasons, but quite a few people still downloaded it secretly. Poor Zoe."
"Hmm." Shui Wuneng Qianchu nodded solemnly, and then couldn't help but turn on the battle compilation video. The girl in the video, dressed in a black combat uniform, looked heroic and valiant. With the stirring music, she was like the incarnation of a Valkyrie, making people yearn for her.
Even though she became the object of comparison, Qian Shui couldn't bring herself to feel any ill will towards the lamp.
How wonderful it would be to interact with such a person in real life!
Nishikujo Haruna also exclaimed in amazement, "The lamp is really cool. It's a pity that the hackers on the forum couldn't get any information about her. Her combat skills are superb, and her use of superpowers is masterful. She should be a strong person in China."
"What level do you think she would be in real life?" Shui Wuqi asked Qianchu helplessly.
"I don't know." Nishikujo Haruna shook her head, unable to give an answer.
This question was also hotly debated on the AA forum, with people with superpowers from various countries discussing it extensively. Some were dismissive, some were extremely enthusiastic, and some were indifferent. After hundreds of posts, no conclusion was reached. Some even tagged the forum's well-known figures, "Evergreen" and "Prophet," to give their opinions.
One of the administrators, [Alien], was also curious and specifically messaged the two of them privately.
【Evergreen Tree】: There is no such person among the fourth-level powerhouses in China. There are no third-level fire-type individuals in China; the highest level is second-level.
The Prophet gave a different answer: Level 4, close to Level 5.
Alien kindly posted the two people's answers in the discussion thread, which sparked another storm. The vast majority of people thought Evergreen was right, only a small number thought the prophet was right, and some thought that both of them were talking nonsense.
The rational observers said the prophet was talking nonsense. They knew all the famous superhumans in the world who were trying to reach level five, and they analyzed the lamp's performance in the dungeon frame by frame, but none of them matched.
Moreover, Deng is Chinese, and everyone with superpowers in the world knows that fire-type abilities have a lower status in China than even a dog. Under such a repressive atmosphere, it's impossible for someone with fire-type abilities to reach level four.
Reality has shown that the Chinese government doesn't even have a level 3 fire-type character, and they always fail when facing wood-type characters in team battles at world championships.
One of the administrators, [Beast], is also interested in the lamp. He is a good friend of Gabriel, and in order to support his friend, he started a poll.
