Chapter 114 - Little Friend, Help Big Bro Play a Ranked Match!
“Where is Lord Demon Sovereign~ Where is Lord Demon Sovereign~”
On the street, a petite girl who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old hummed a little 'find the person' song as she strolled leisurely on her two short legs.
The girl had striking crimson hair and a youthful, fresh-faced appearance. At first glance, she had the exquisite cuteness of a porcelain doll.
“Lord Demon Sovereign's not here, Lord Demon Sovereign's not there, where could Lord Demon Sovereign be~”
Mokui craned her neck, searching everywhere, even opening up the trash cans on the street to peek inside.
After checking another trash can and finding nothing, she frustratedly put the lid back on and wrinkled her small brow.
“Where on earth could Lord Demon Sovereign have gone…”
She had been searching in this world for over a day, but hadn't found a single trace of Lord Demon Sovereign.
This human city was ridiculously large, and she didn't have a map, so she could only search around like a headless fly.
Not only was this search method inefficient, but all the walking had made her a little tired.
It had been at least a thousand years since she had walked on the ground for this long.
I really just want to summon a meteor to fall from the sky and clear out all the unnecessary things in this city. I'd probably be able to find Lord Demon Sovereign in an instant then...
Why do I have to suffer by walking around on the road like this.
“Fuck! Don't be a pussy! Fuck him up!”
“1v1 me!”
“Solo kill!”
“……”
Just as the frustrated Mokui was walking past an internet cafe, she suddenly heard waves of shouts and curses coming from inside.
She stopped and curiously peeked inside.
This city seems pretty peaceful and quiet, but the people inside seem to be fighting to the death?
Maybe Lord Demon Sovereign is in there. I'll go take a look~
Filled with curiosity, Mokui entered the building and followed the sounds up to the internet cafe on the second floor.
Inside the internet cafe, a crowd of people sat in front of computers wearing headphones, playing games while muttering a stream of indignant cries or angry curses.
The scene of slaughter she had imagined didn't appear. Instead, all she could see was a crowd of people sitting in front of strange objects, staring intently at mirror-like things, their hands constantly manipulating something back and forth. She had no idea what they were doing.
But it looked like these mortals were all quite enjoying themselves.
Mokui walked behind the crowd, staring with wide, curious eyes at the games they were playing on their computers.
Although she didn't know what they were doing, it looked like they were controlling something through the 'mirrors' to fight against other people.
She wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of long-range combat technique, but she had never thought that the mortals of this world could also do it.
Mokui grew more and more curious. Eventually, she stopped behind a young man and quietly watched him play.
The young man noticed Mokui behind him and glanced back. Seeing just an ordinary, curious little girl, he paid her no more mind and went back to focusing on his game.
BANG!
The nexus exploded, and the 'Defeat' screen appeared on the computer monitor.
“Fuck! Lost again!”
“Damn it, that's a fucking six-game losing streak tonight!”
The young man angrily threw down his mouse, pulled out a cigarette, and was about to light it with the lighter on the desk when he noticed Mokui was still standing behind him, staring at him with curious eyes.
This little girl has been standing behind me the whole time, watching me play a whole game...?
“Ahem…”
With a little girl next to him, the young man hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly put away his lighter and cigarette and prepared to start a new game.
However, Mokui's gaze was still fixed on him from behind, making him very uncomfortable.
It was one thing to play badly and lose a game, but to be watched by someone the entire time you're losing was just too embarrassing…
What did this little girl want? Was she just watching him play, or did she want to play too, but her parents wouldn't let her, so she came here to watch in secret?
The young man's mind raced. After a moment's hesitation, he turned his head again to look at Mokui, pointed at the computer, and asked:
“Little friend, do you want to play too?”
“Little friend?”
Mokui was taken aback, then showed a child-like, innocent smile.
“Mmm~! Big brother, I want to play too~”
Being called 'big brother' for the first time, and by such a cute and polite little girl, the young man's face blushed slightly as he got up and gave her his seat.
“Alright then, you can play a round.”
“But my rank is a bit high, I'm in Gold, so I can only start a normal match for you.”
“Mmm-hmm!”
Mokui nodded happily, sat down in the seat, and turned her head to ask for instruction:
“Big brother, how do you play this~?”
“Never played before? Can't be helped. Big brother will have to teach you then~”
The sweet calls of 'big brother' warmed the young man's heart. Overjoyed, he took the mouse and keyboard and began to carefully instruct her:
“Here, these four, QWER, are the abilities. Every hero's abilities are different. You can move the mouse over them to see the description for each ability…”
After the young man's simple introduction, Mokui finally understood that the strange object in front of her was called a 'computer,' and what they were playing was just a popular game on it.
Just by logging into an account through the screen, you could face off against other people in a duel.
She tried taking the mouse and keyboard, personally controlling the hero on the screen to fight against others.
In that instant, her eyes lit up, feeling as if she had discovered a new continent.
There were over a hundred heroes, each with different mechanics. Teams needed to coordinate and cooperate to defeat the opposing side. Any single mistake or misjudgment could lead to losing the match, just like a magical duel between cultivators—and this was just a game!
On the Immortal-Demon Continent, the methods of entertainment were only things like sparring matches, watching musical or dance performances, or finding someone to play a game of chess.
But the mortals in this world actually had such an interesting way to battle!
No need to fight and kill each other face-to-face; you can decide the winner just through a screen!
Interesting~!
Mokui felt a strange thrill in her heart and gradually became completely engrossed in the game.
Although it was only her first time playing, she gradually mastered the game by relying on her superb comprehension and reflexes.
The young man standing at her side watched, dumbfounded.
This little girl didn't even know how to move her character just now. How did she suddenly start going on a killing spree?
Her skills... how do they look even better than his, a mighty Gold-rank player?!
Soon, Mokui easily won the normal match with a score of 29-10.
After the victory, she sat in front of the computer, her heart full of the joy and thrill of winning, feeling as if she still hadn't had her fill...
The young man put a hand on Mokui's shoulder, crouched down, and requested with a solemn expression:
“Little friend, help big bro play a ranked match!”
