Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Chapter 16 - If it wasn’t because I can’t kill you, I would’ve fucking fallen out with you long ago.

Jing Huan was stunned again. He only thought of typing a response after a long while had passed.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Gege…are you talking to me?

[Current] Yearning For: Who else is there here?

The passers-by walking by them: “…”

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: But I haven’t bought all my equipment yet…

[Current] Yearning For: It’s fine as long as you know how to flee.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: ??

What does that mean? Does this person plan on letting him flee for his life in the arena for the whole night?

Jing Huan was about to sneer and make some sarcastic remarks when he saw the portal light up. The elites from Idle Pavilion who were on guard outside sensed that something was amiss and had sent someone over to gather intelligence on the enemy.

Xiang Huaizhi cast a glance at that person and clicked on ‘Create a Party’.

[Current] Yearning For: Join.

The little fairy fox immediately stood up, and her avatar even patted her butt. Then she turned around and entered Yearning For’s party.

After that, the two of them flew away together.

The Idle Pavilion elite was stunned, then immediately tipped off his guild.

[Guild] Saw a Deer Deep in the Forest: Report– Xiao Tianjing has joined Yearning For’s party!!

[Guild] Saw a Deer Deep in the Forest: Everyone be careful, don’t initiate a compulsory PK against Xiao Tianjing!

[Guild] Affectionate in Silence: ???

[Guild] The Girl in my Heart: Why is she in Yearning For’s party [surprise]?

[Guild] Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: My friend told me…that Xiao Tianjing and Yearning For even did instances together yesterday.

[Guild] Seize Every Minute: …can’t be ba, is there really something between them? Yearning For was actually moved by Xiao Tianjing’s confession?

[Guild] Immortal Mengmeng: Impossible.

[Guild] Immortal Mengmeng: Yearning For has really high standards la, it should be Xiao Tianjing who begged him to take her along for instances. It’s all right. In another 10 minutes, Yearning For will go into the arena, then you guys don’t need to worry about killing Xiao Tianjing anymore.

[Guild] Star in the Sky: …um…

[Guild] Star in the Sky: Yearning For brought Xiao Tianjing into the 2v2 arena venue, I see them.

[Guild] Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: …

[Guild] The Girl in my Heart: …

Everyone on the screen was shocked.

[Guild] Affectionate in Silence: …it’s all right. At most we can just temporarily cancel our plans for sniping Xiao Tianjing tonight. On the bright side, Yearning For will definitely lose with Xiao Tianjing in his team, then our vice guild master will be able to climb to the top of the expert ranking list!

[Guild] Star in the Sky: Oh yeah. I saw that Yearning For’s points have been dropping in the past few months, our vice will surpass him after winning just a few more rounds.

[Guild] Immortal Mengmeng: What do you mean Star?

[Guild] Star in the Sky: ?

[Guild] Star in the Sky: What did I…

[Guild] Immortal Mengmeng: You’re trying to imply that he only lost points because he was teaming up in the arena with me for the past few months right.

[Guild] Star in the Sky: [dazed] I didn’t, how would I know that he was playing in the arena with you for the past few months ah?

[Guild] Immortal Mengmeng: We were together everyday, didn’t you know?

[Guild] Star in the Sky: So what if you were? Did you guys get married? Then, now that Xiao Tianjing is teaming up in the arena with Yearning For, does that mean that they’re together too?

&#k3010;Guild: Azure Dragon Officer Immortal Mengmeng has kicked Star in the Sky out of Idle Pavilion because of “.”.&#k3011;

[Guild] Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: Oh my god what the…you didn’t need to do that ba.

&#k3010;Guild: Regardless of Lovesickness has activated a chatting prohibition for everyone.&#k3011;

[Guild] Regardless of Lovesickness: Disband for today, go do what you should. I’ll open up the chat again tomorrow.

Jing Huan didn’t know that their party had stirred up a lot of trouble in Idle Pavilion. In fact, he didn’t even have the time to refuse before he was dragged into the arena.

Reasonably speaking, although he was eager to come into contact with Yearning For, he wasn’t willing to lose points with Yearning For in the arena at all.

With the equipment he had now, how could he fight in the arena? It was more likely that he’d just end up as a live target for other players. What’s more, he hadn’t thoroughly familiarised himself with the skills of Fairy Fox Caves. This damn sect had so many skills that it made him dizzy just looking through them all. If he really wanted to get good at them, he would need to spend more than half a month playing with them at least.

“Gege,” He hesitated a little and pretended to be scared. “Why don’t you call someone else ba? I’ve never played in the arena before.”

“It’s okay, just need the numbers.” Xiang Huaizhi said.

Jing Huan, “…”

If it wasn’t because I can’t kill you, I would’ve fucking fallen out with you long ago.

Seeing as how he kept silent, Xiang Huaizhi pondered for a bit before adding, “I won’t let you lose points.”

Everyone had an initial score of 1000 points.

Jing Huan didn’t really care too much about the points. Even if he lost them all, he could still get them back after he bought all his equipment.

He just purely didn’t like losing.

Playing games was for the sake of having fun. If he had to get chased and beaten even in games, then why the hell should he still play?

“…okay then.” Jing Huan said, “I’ll leave the party to buy some potions.”

He had just finished talking when a lot of small prompts popped up on his interface — Xiang Huaizhi was throwing him potions.

“I called you over, I’ll give you the potions.” Xiang Huaizhi said simply.

“Thank you Gege.” Jing Huan sat upright. He hadn’t played in the arena for a long time, and now that he was suddenly here, he did feel a little excited.

He reflexively surveyed his surroundings and instantly became a little speechless.

Most of the people standing around him were actually from Idle Pavilion.

In fact, what Xiang Huaizhi said just now wasn’t unreasonable. The arena tonight really could serve as his escape site.

Fortunately, the arena mode allocated players at random. If players could automatically initiate battles, then they probably wouldn’t even have time to catch their breaths tonight.

At 7.30, the arena matches officially began. At the moment when Xiang Huaizhi clicked on the match button, their first round of opponents today were ushered in.

It was two male players — one healer and one physical DPS. It was a bit similar to the lineup on Jing Huan’s side.

The people opposite didn’t expect to get matched with Yearning For and clearly paused. Before they could react, they saw Yearning For charge at them with his sword and rush right at their healer.

The healer got a huge fright and reflexively moved to the right. He didn’t expect that this move of his made him move right into Yearning For’s blade; Yearning For didn’t hold back either and immediately attacked him in succession with a second strike.

9113.

Bright red numbers burst out. The healer fell to the ground and didn’t get up again.

Jing Huan, “…”

Fuck.

What kind of demonic damage was this?

Even if the players they had been matched up with weren’t that strong…it shouldn’t be to the point where he could down one healer with one strike ba…

He was entirely crushing them with his equipment, as if this bunch of RMB players weren’t human at all!

Jing Huan, who spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy an empty character, lamented in his heart.

[Current] What kind of garbage are you: [horrified]

[Current] What kind of garbage are you: Great God, I only have 2,200 points, why would I get matched up with you…

In the arena, the system would automatically match up opponents of comparable strength. That is to say, they would take the average of the points of the two players in a team before matching them up with another team. Since Jing Huan’s character had very few points, along with how Xiang Huaizhi’s account had been losing constantly before now, the players they got matched up with were all those with very few points.

Xiang Huaizhi didn’t answer him. He turned around and continued killing the DPS. The DPS knew that he couldn’t win, so he decided that he might as well give up on struggling and just stood there for him to kill.

[Current] What kind of garbage are you: Great God, can you wait for 10 seconds after leaving [sheds tears], I don’t want to meet you guys again.

After the last strike landed, What kind of garbage are you had no more chances to say anything and flew straight out of the PK scene.

It was only when they returned to the waiting area that Jing Huan remembered to speak. “…wow, Gege, you’re so strong.”

There was naturally no response from his headphones. Yearning For stood on the spot, absolutely motionless.

Jing Huan was about to ask something when the matching interface popped up again, and they had already entered the next battle.

…so he was waiting for ten seconds just now ah.

The next few rounds were almost all like the first one. Yearning For’s equipment was too strong, to the point that even if a newbie was operating his character, they may still win.

The opponents they were matched up with were either abused by Yearning For to death, or they forfeited right after the match started. After three rounds had passed, Jing Huan hadn’t done anything besides throwing out a few blood pools.

After the third battle was over, the Arena Channel had its first system prompt.

【Congratulations Yearning For, Xiao Tianjing for defeating Listen to the Rain, Accompanying Winds, and for achieving three successive wins】

Chunxiao looked at the time. “…just seven minutes since the arena opened up, and they already have three successive wins?”

“Xiao Tianjing doesn’t have many points, so they’re matching up with all the noobs, so of course it’s easy for them to win.” The girl’s voice in the mic sounded soft and feeble, with a tinge of displeasure present as well. “Why are you paying attention to Xiao Tianjing again?”

Chunxiao felt helpless. “I just saw it inadvertently.”

“Then what about the last time they killed the Yao King? Did you inadvertently contribute our guild’s materials as well?” The owner of this female voice was Regardless of Lovesickness. After Chunxiao explained, not only did her anger not dissipate, but she became even more indignant instead.

Chunxiao, “If we didn’t hand in the materials, robbers would raid the guild.”

“Then let them raid ah! We’d just lose a potion field at most anyway!”

Chunxiao frowned. When the battle ended, she tied up her long hair and said patiently, “It wasn’t easy for us to expand a potion field at all. If it’s a problem we can avoid, why not avoid it? Behave yourself a little. It hasn’t been easy for you to come online recently, I don’t want to quarrel with you now.”

Regardless of Lovesickness wilted as soon as she heard this. “… But I’m just not happy, who does she think she is? If she had just cheated our guild’s elder, then so be it, but she even wanted to seduce you too. She eats up both men and women, isn’t she afraid of choking?”

“That’s what the ex-owner did. This account should have really changed hands.”

“Didn’t they say that last time too? In the end, it was still that swindler. In any case, I won’t believe her anymore.” Regardless of Lovesickness pouted. “You’re not allowed to look at her!”

Chunxiao couldn’t help laughing. “Ok ok ok, I won’t look…”

She had just finished speaking when the game interface suddenly changed; they had been matched up with a new round of opponents.

Chunxiao saw the black robe and the dazzling divine artifact at a glance.

[Current] Regardless of Lovesickness: ??

[Current] Regardless of Lovesickness: Little green tea, seducing a new man to help you increase your points?

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: …

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: I don’t dare be a green tea…

Before Jing Huan finished typing, he saw Regardless of Lovesickness wave her wizard wand and directly attack him with the move Five Elemental Lightning Strikes.

Juurensha: …guys, kick Immortal Mengmeng out of your guild, she’s really annoying.
