Chapter 66: Aunt Sally

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I almost died from rage because of an idiot today.”

“Tell me about it.”

“This idiot does have a good figure, she’s curvy in the right places, just looking at her gave me a hard-on. The only problem is that brain of hers. I don’t even know when she moved into the unit above me, but every day she would play blaring music doing aerobics, causing my entire ceiling to shake. It’s bloody annoying.”

“Hehe... Hehe...”

“Jiaojiao, why are you laughing so weirdly?”

“... I’m that idiot.”

“...”

Thus... With that, Li Yi and Jiaojiao finally met each other in real life.

From being awkward to being brutally honest, from in-game to reality, after a while, the two have become inseparable.

Of course, the two’s relationships always remained platonic. Li Yi had never thought of her in that light, whilst Jiaojiao was most probably of the same mindset. This sort of status quo had been maintained for a long time.

On the other hand, within the game, after Jiaojiao’s extreme matchmaking, Li Yi and Wind-on-Snow became a couple.

Wind-on-Snow was Jiaojiao’s classmate from senior high. She was a beautiful individual and her personality was the polar opposite of Jiaojiao. She was gentle, caring, and kindhearted. At the time, Li Yi was so charmed by her that he almost went to another city just to find her.

No one would have expected that, shortly after Li Yi and Wind-on-Snow started dating, she seemingly turned into a whole different person. She started asking for various things from her friends and she had the tendency to never return these things.

The climax of the saga between the two occurred at the 25-man dungeon Windstorm Platform. Li Yi had always had bad luck when it comes to looting. But as he mindlessly tried to loot, he somehow, through some miraculous level of luck, managed to loot a legendary item that an average player may never hope to see in their entire lifetime.

It was a purple broadsword, the Goddess of Hurricane’s Rage. It had an additional effect that engulfs anything that it strikes with the power of the wind, putting them into a stunned state. Its drop rate was one in ten thousand, and Windstorm Platform’s dungeon cooldown reset time was 15 days. It was obvious how rare this purple sword was.

How would they split this? There were 25 people in the group and everyone wanted it. If they split it based on the DPS stat there would definitely be complaints. In the end, they could only use a roll to decide who would keep it.

“Let me see the sword for a moment,” Wind-on-Snow said this to Li Yi at the time.

Without hesitation, Li Yi traded the purple sword over. Immediately after that, Wind-on-Snow went offline.

“F*ck, they’re accomplices. Bloody cheaters, give me back my wind sword...”

Everyone knew about Li Yi and Wind-on-Snow’s relationship. After Wind-on-Snow took the purple sword and went offline, everyone had their targets set on Li Yi.

“Bring out the sword, bring out the sword!”

These people were like a group of crazed beasts, no matter how Li Yi was explaining himself, no one would believe him. They were dead set that he was in on it with Wind-on-Snow.

Li Yi immediately went offline and tried to call her repeatedly, but Wind-on-Snow had turned off her phone.

A short while later, the Goddess of Hurricane’s Rage appeared at the Auction House. At the end of the day, the Star Fire Guild won the auction with a bid of 2300000 Gold Coins.

At that point, Li Yi finally understood. This girl that he had trusted for such a long time, the gentle and sweet Wind-on-Snow was a cheater.

No one believed him. It was a casual party last time, once the news spread, Li Yi soon became an Aunt Sally in the game.

He was assassinated when he was grinding, ridiculed when he tried to clear his name, and no one wanted to join his party for dungeons. His reputation as the big cheater all started from there.

During that time period, coincidentally Jiaojiao went outstation with her mother. Li Yi could neither get in contact with Wind-on-Snow nor Jiaojiao. Suddenly, he felt as though he was at a dead end.

His first targets were those who called him a cheater in the game.

‘You guys can insult me, scold me, and even justifiably kill me, but why should I just sit idly for you guys to kill? If you’re not going to let me live peacefully, I won’t let all of you live peacefully either!’

Just within a day, Li Yi used a private email to cheat eight people out of their equipment. Then, it started spiraling out of control, the number of people being scammed and cheated daily increased. He had countless forms of trickery he used to scam people. From that time on, he was no longer an accused cheater, he had turned into a real cheater...

When Jiaojiao returned home and went online to contact him, he was at the peak of his rage. Without hesitation, he had Jiaojiao take off all her equipment, claiming that he was going to help her enchant them. After taking all of them away, he straight up sold them to an NPC.

Li Yi left a comment to Jiaojiao, “You and Wind-on-Snow were accomplices!”

Jiaojiao barged down to his place yelling at him, demanding him to give an explanation. However, Li Yi was even more ruthless, he just dialed 911 ¹ and had the police drag her away.

After that, Jiaojiao finally learned the truth of what happened in the game while she was gone. She did not blame Li Yi, but all she wanted was for Li Yi to give her an explanation. However, to Li Yi, at this point, no matter if he explained himself or not, it would not have made a difference.

When Wind-on-Snow scammed him, it also broke his heart. There was a long period of time where he completely did not trust any woman.

He kept on venting out his frustrations and anger. However, when he was finally satisfied, he realized that there was no going back from it all.

His feelings were cheated and he was framed in-game, couple that with the amount of stress he cooped up in reality, soon, he became a full-fledged “big cheater”.

Jiaojiao had always tried to get him to explain himself. When she finally had the opportunity, she and Li Yi had a long chat face-to-face.

“To prove your innocence is easy, have you found Wind-on-Snow?”

“No, I can’t find her, but...”

“But what? But you really weren’t in on it with her? How do you expect me to believe you? Hmm, maybe if you strip naked and sleep with me for a night, I might be able to believe you.”

Slap!

“You want to get into my pants? Not in this lifetime!!”

Jiaojiao gave him a slap, slammed open the door and stormed off.

From that day on, the two no longer had any interactions. However, Li Yi subconsciously noticed that Jiaojiao was constantly helping him repay the people he had cheated in the past.

After playing Pantheon for eight years, Li Yi had a full purple legendary Midnight Equipment Set. On the other hand, Jiaojiao had also played for eight years, but she was still clad in a set of gold equipment.

...

After Li Yi realized all that, it was already too late. Jiaojiao had already given up on him.

In his past life, Li Yi had wronged too many people, but this Jiaojiao who was standing in front of him right now was the person that he had wronged the most.

...

Jiaojiao spat, “Do I have something on my face? Why are you staring so intently at my face? You want to pick me up? I’d advise you to go look at a mirror before even thinking about it.”

A fierce tongue and a fiery personality, she was exactly the same as the Jiaojiao from his memories of his past life.

“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in dark-skinned folks. You just reminded me of someone so I spaced out momentarily, it has nothing to do with you.”

Jiaojiao charged towards Li Yi with her jaw wide open, “Who are you calling dark-skinned?”

In reality, Jiaojiao was not black, but she was not exactly fair-skinned either. She had a healthy tanned skin color. However, she hated people calling her black. Li Yi often teased her for being ‘black’ back in his past life, causing the time she spent staying at home applying cucumber facials to double...

“I’ll start by giving a simple overview of the strategy for fighting the Fire Beast. The Fire Beast consists of three mini-bosses and one main boss...”

Li Yi ignored Jiaojiao as he walked towards the seven novices while explaining.

Jiaojiao took a deep breath and glared at Li Yi, asking, “I’ll ask you again, who are you calling dark-skinned!?”

Li Yi pretended not to hear anything as he continued on his explanation.

At this point, Jiaojiao was shaking through her entire body, but she did not start to rage for some reason.

Li Yi understood her too well. If he replied her at this time, this will definitely devolve into an all-out argument. However, if he ignored her, she would just continue to sulk alone till she goes offline, most probably applying more cucumber facials.

“Dark Wing, Invincible Jiaojiao does not seem like someone easy to handle, don’t you think we should get another member?” Chu Tiange sent Li Yi a private message.

Li Yi replied, “Let’s keep her for now. Her class is Archer, she’ll be able to coordinate well with me.”

Although that’s what he actually said to Chu Tiange, in his head, he said, ‘Motherf*cker, if you dare kick Jiaojiao out, f*ck being the commander, I’ll disband the party right here and now!’
