Chapter 448: The World Changes during Slumber

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Throughout the next few days, Li Yi kept a close eye on It’s Me. However, it seemed that the b*stard had noticed his presence, as he withdrew after scamming a few more times. Furthermore, he hid all the items he scammed well, which made it difficult for Li Yi to find concrete evidence.

These days, Li Yi made it a habit to gift the Frog Queen new clothes daily. Every day, he would use the Frogmen Tribe Teleportation Stone to teleport to the Wailing Grotto, and due to this, his Affinity and Reputation Value skyrocketed. Their current relationship was at ‘Respectful’, and if he kept it up, it would only be a matter of time before he got his hands on Overlord Arrow.

Li Yi was at his most comfortable during this time. Every house chore had been delegated to Jiaojiao, and he even had a bedwarmer every night. Lady Jiao really fulfilled her promises, when she said that she would sleep with him for a month, she really did do so.

Despite that, their relationship had yet to reach the next level. It was not that they could not, but due to Li Yi not wanting to force it…

Fire Ice had officially become Li Yi’s secretary, and she received a salary every month. That was not all, as she received a New Year’s bonus as well, it was pretty lucrative.

Although his level had been temporarily locked, the measure of a player’s worth within King of Pantheon was not their level, but instead their equipment.

Using his past life’s experience, Li Yi brought many of his friends to hunt down every equipment that was farmable throughout the continent. His Gear Score increased rapidly, and he was currently at a whopping 275 points.

The Divine Stone also came with a special effect that increased the drop rate of rare items by 3%. Due to this, as long as Li Yi wanted something, all he had to do was to farm it several more times, no matter how low its drop rate was.

The Glory group dungeon constantly informed Li Yi that it was lacking players, and therefore, he could not enter. This made Li Yi furious. After all, unlike the prior group dungeons, Glory was different in the sense that Li Yi had never played it in his past life. It was also one of his sore spots.

During this period, aside from the aforementioned stuff, there was also something that was highly important to Li Yi that did not occur.

Which was the absence of Gongsun Chuqian from the game…

‘Qian’er…’

At this time in his past life, Lin Qian, who had gone with the In-game-name, Gongsun Chuqian would have already started playing the game. However, Li Yi searched for the name nearly every day with his Divine Looking Glass, but the results were always disappointing.

[This player does not exist!]

[This player does not exist!]

‘I’ve undergone many changes in this life. Is it possible that Qian’er, whom I’ve never met in this life, underwent many changes to her fate as well?’

Li Yi was lost, and his mindset was also contradictory. On one hand, he thought that forgetting Qian’er and spending his entire life with Jiaojiao was pretty good. On the other hand, he also wanted to resolve his long-standing regret from his past life, and as such, he definitely needed to look for Qian’er.

These two thoughts constantly bounced about in his mind, and he was at a loss at what to do.

Today, Li Yi could no longer suppress his emotions. He downed a bit of beer and dialed Lin Qian’s number based on his previous memories.

Lin Qian had accidentally stumbled upon King of Pantheon during her further studies in a foreign country. When she returned, she had gained somewhat of a reputation for herself in King of Pantheon.

Lin Qian was also extremely willful, and when her parents arranged a marriage for her, she ran away from her house in a fit of rage. She brought nothing with her and lived alone in a rented house.

Due to her parents’ influence, Qian’er could not find a job. As such, she relied solely on King of Pantheon to support herself. Lin Qian was pretty good at the game and had won the Southern Continent’s Autumn Arena thrice and was the Annual Grand Champion for a year.

When Li Yi met her, his reputation as a big cheater was already known throughout the game. Despite that, Lin Qian paid no mind to it and took the initiative to make friends with him. Her reason being, “You haven’t scammed me yet, so we’re good. But once you’ve scammed me, I won’t treat you as a friend any longer.”

She was the first woman who was willing to listen to Li Yi’s side of the tale.

She was the first woman that trusted Li Yi.

She was … Li Yi’s first woman.

“Hello, may I know who this is?” The call went through, and a gentle voice could be heard.

Li Yi calmed his throbbing heart, “I…I’m looking for Qian… No, I’m looking for Lin Qian.”

Lin Qian audibly flinched. She asked, “That’s me, may I know who you are?”

“I… I’m not quite sure myself.”

Li Yi had already prepared a script, but when he heard Lin Qian’s voice, he forgot all about it as he was flustered.

“Do we know each other?” asked Lin Qian.

Li Yi opened his mouth, but no words came out. ‘What should I say? Tell her that I’m her future boyfriend and that she’ll sleep with and marry me in the future? W-W-Would she really believe it?’

Li Yi was unsure whether Lin Qian would believe him. All he knew was that if he really said it, his connection with Lin Qian in this life would permanently be severed.

“Qian’er, time to eat!”

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out. Although it was faint, Li Yi had recognized it.

Li Yi asked, “Was that your friend speaking?”

“Yeah, may I know who you are?” Lin Qian’s tone made it clear that she was getting impatient, and the only reason she did not hang up was to confirm Li Yi’s identity.

“Xiao Xue?”

“… You even know Lil Snow. Who the heck are you???” Lin Qian was even more surprised now.

Li Yi fabricated a lie. “I’m Xiao Xue’s… big brother. That’s right, I called her just now, but she didn’t answer. I’m assuming she had turned it off, so I called your phone instead.”

Lin Qian was enlightened. “Oh okay, then I’ll hand the phone over to her. Give me a sec. Lil Snow, your brother’s looking for you!”

“My brother?” Xiao Xue’s doubtful voice could be heard from within the phone.

“You are?”

“Your big brother.”

“Li Yi?” Xiao Xue yelped in surprise.

“YOUR BIG BROTHER!” Li Yi reminded Xiao Xue once more.

Surprised, Xiao Xue asked, “How did you end up calling Qian’er? Don’t tell me…”

“It’s hard to explain, for now, just do as I say.”

Li Yi had not expected Lin Qian and Xiao Xue to be acquaintances. He was both surprised and happy, and he continued to drag out the conversation with Lil Snow.

While Li Yi was chatting with Lil Snow, he realized that she made heavy and short moans every once in a while. It was pretty odd, and though Li Yi could not observe what was happening on the other end, he intuitively knew that Qian’er was molesting Lil Snow…

One of Qian’er’s favorite pastimes in his past life was to grope her female friend’s body when they were on the phone…

“Fine fine, so what do you want? I…We’re going … to eat now.” Li Yi was jittery from Qian’er’s molesting and was too exhausted to talk.

“I’ll call you some other time then.”

“Alright, bye bye!”

The phone hung up, and Li Yi’s emotions were calm once more.

He really had not expected that Xiao Xue and Lin Qian were this close…

‘Was it possible that Xiao Xue influenced Lin Qian to enter King of Pantheon in my previous life?’

The possibility crossed Li Yi’s mind.

‘It isn’t totally impossible for Xiao Xue to be wronged and complained about her in-game issues to Qian’er. So, can it be said that my encounter with Qian’er in the past life was not destiny?’

Li Yi’s mind was all jumbled up, and the more he thought about it, the messier it got.

He clearly remembered that when he met Qian’er in his past life, her attitude towards him was odd. They could not chat normally until she had gotten sick… It was then that their relationship became normal, closer.

‘That might be it, or maybe… Never mind, I don’t want to think about it anymore.’

Li Yi opened up a few cans of beer and chugged them all down.

Canada, University of Toronto, Dorm 107.

Qian’er was quite tall, and she had a slender body. The parts that were supposed to be huge were huge, and those that were meant to be small were small. There was nothing on her that was not seductive. Alas, as fine a specimen she was, she liked to play around with other women. Had she not met up with Li Yi in her past life, it was likely that she would have never encountered another male.

Xiao Xue grabbed hold of Qian’er’s hands, “Female pervert, I suddenly realize that you’re pretty compatible with a certain male pervert.”

“Male pervert? Who could it be?”

“Li Yi… My… brother who called me just now.”

“He’s a pervert too? Tell me how he’s a pervert? Can it be? You siblings have committed forbidden acts?” Qian’er gasped.

“Scr*w off, I’ve never…” Xiao Xue’s face was so red that it extended to the root of her neck.

Xiao Xue asked, “Have you heard of King of Pantheon?”

Qian’er shook her head.

“It was there that I met that male pervert…”

On that night, Li Yi did not log into the game. He had drunk too much beer and had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Jiaojiao wanted to carry him back to the bedroom, but he insisted on sleeping alone. There was nothing Lady Jiao could do, and as such, she settled for placing a blanket on top of him.

Nothing much happened in the first half of the night. However, in the latter half, the alcohol finally kicked in. Li Yi ran off to the toilet and vomited for a long time until his mind had become drowsy.

“Goddammit, no matter what happens next time, I’ll never drink this much again…” Li Yi’s mouth was arid, it was an unpleasant feeling…

This was the consequence of drinking too much beer.

As he went to sleep in his drowsy state, Li Yi dreamt of Qian’er. He clenched his gut and outed everything he wanted to say to her. Alas, the Qian’er in the dream world only smiled as if she felt nothing.

“Qian’er, listen to me. I really didn’t do it on purpose. You were sick, and I…”

The Li Yi inside the dream was still explaining, but Qian’er had already vanished.

“Qian’er!”

Li Yi shouted thunderously and woke up from his slumber.

The first rays of light were already shining through the window.

Li Yi ruffled his messy hair and sat on the sofa with a blank look. Then, he dragged the blanket back to the bedroom.

He did not sleep well last night, and as such, he wanted to hug Jiaojiao to sleep a while longer.

Inside the bedroom, Li Yi saw a blanket and a lock of lustrous hair. Jiaojiao had a sleeping habit, and she liked to cover her face to sleep.

Li Yi sneezed and scurried onto the bed. He thrust out his hand to caress her, but he realized something was amiss. It did not feel like Jiaojiao.

His eyes widened.

It was Fire Ice!
