Chapter 115 - You're Here to Get Online Too?
“Find anything?”
At the street corner, Lin Fan asked Meizhi and the others as they returned.
“No.”
Meizhi and the others shook their heads.
Lin Fan's brow furrowed, his expression turning a little more grave.
After finding Yingnü, he had begun searching for the last remaining person, Mokui.
However, he had been searching for several days in a row, even having Meizhi and the others go out to search as well. They had practically turned the entire Magic Capital upside down, but to no avail.
In the end, he had even proactively released his own demonic energy, hoping to attract Mokui to find him by sensing its aura.
But Mokui had not come looking for him.
This couldn't help but make him grow more concerned.
Could Mokui have not landed safely in the Magic Capital, but instead in some other corner of the world, too far away to sense his demonic energy? Or perhaps she had lost all her spiritual energy upon arrival and met with some misfortune?
“Where the hell did that Mokui go? There's been no sign of her at all!”
“And she's making This King and Lord Demon Sovereign come out to look for her!”
Longye's brow was furrowed in a deep frown as he complained with great dissatisfaction. He then turned his head to look at Lin Fan and offered his own guess:
“Lord Demon Sovereign, don't you think that Mokui might have landed somewhere else?”
“That's unlikely.”
Before Lin Fan could speak, Meizhi vetoed Longye's guess.
“Mokui entered the void tunnel through the Realm-Opening Chart along with the rest of us. The Heaven-Surveying Instrument's positioning was also within this city. If she had followed the void route, she shouldn't have landed anywhere else.”
“You said it yourself, to avoid deviating, you have to follow the void tunnel we came through.”
“Don't you think that girl Mokui might have run off down some fork in the void on the way here?”
Longye argued.
Hearing this, Meizhi stroked his chin, his expression falling into deep thought.
“If that's the case, then it's troublesome. The possibility of finding Mokui again would be very slim…”
The void tunnels were a complex maze. Each one could lead to a different, newly opened void world, or even hide chaotic void currents.
Once you deviated from the route in the void, there was no telling where you would end up.
It could be some corner of this world, or it might not even be in this world at all.
Just as Lin Fan and the others were feeling troubled, Yingnü, at the side, suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street opposite them.
“Found her.”
Yingnü raised her hand and pointed across the street.
Hearing this, Lin Fan and the others whipped their heads around to look in the direction she was pointing.
They saw a short, petite girl with crimson red hair, holding a grilled sausage in one hand and a cola in the other, swaggering into an internet cafe.
And she was none other than Mokui, the one they had been searching so hard for these past few days!
After searching bitterly for days with no trace, to think they would just run into her on the street like this...
But why did she go into an internet cafe?
Filled with doubt, Lin Fan led Meizhi and the others as they tailed Mokui into the internet cafe.
The moment she entered, Mokui was immediately surrounded by a large group of adoring fans.
“Boss Lady, you're here again today!”
“Use my account today, Boss Lady! The fee's paid and the PC is on!”
“No, use my account! I've bought all the skins!”
“Boss Lady, I'm counting on you to get me to Challenger rank! I'll do anything!”
“…”
Amidst the crowd's fawning, Mokui proudly stretched her neck, her less-than-1.6-meter frame seeming to grow two centimeters taller in an instant.
After her first encounter with video games, she had gradually become obsessed.
Relying on her superb gaming talent, she was completely invincible, quickly making a name for herself in this internet cafe.
She didn't need to pay; people would naturally turn on a computer for her in advance. She didn't need to register an account; the moment she sat down, a crowd of people would fight to scan the code and log her in. Many people even paid her to play a game for them to boost their accounts.
Now, she spent her days at the internet cafe, taking 'orders,' playing games, and enjoying the flattery and praise of the crowd that surrounded her.
When she got tired of one game, she would just switch to another.
In any case, this world had an endless supply of games to play. She could play whichever one she liked.
“I want to play an online game today. Next time.”
Mokui said, waving her hand to dismiss the crowd in front of her. She walked straight to a computer, sat down, and skillfully turned it on and logged into a game account.
After entering the game, she put on her headphones and, putting on a cute voice, said into the voice chat:
“Gege~ I'm here~ Can you top up a 648 for me today~?”
[N: In Chinese, Gēge means "older brother". However, the term can also be used as a term of endearment or to express closeness and affection, especially in a romantic context or between close friends. Similar to “Oppa” used in Korean.]
Lin Fan and the others: “…”
Watching Mokui's series of actions, Lin Fan and the others following behind her fell silent.
It hasn't even been a week, right? Mokui not only knows how to go to an internet cafe, but she's even learned how to make money online!
Is this still the same peerless genius girl of the Demon Realm's Hefa Clan, the one said to appear only once in a thousand years…?
“Mokui, what are you doing?”
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. Mokui jumped in fright and stiffly turned her head.
She saw Meizhi and Longye standing behind her at some unknown point, staring at her with cold, murderous gazes…
“Meizhi, Longye, what a coincidence...” Mokui gave a sheepish smile.
Meizhi asked in a frigid voice:
“I'm asking you, what are you doing here? Don't you think you should explain yourself?”
“Um… I'm looking for Lord Demon Sovereign here!”
“I thought Lord Demon Sovereign might be inside, so I came in to have a look!”
Mokui explained with a straight face, then even pretended to look around the internet cafe.
Until she actually saw the figure of Lin Fan standing not far away…
“Eh! Lord Demon Sovereign?! You really are here!”
Mokui was shocked, so frightened her jaw almost dropped to the floor.
“You're here to get online too?”
“This One didn't come to get online, I followed you in!”
Lin Fan stared coldly at Mokui and said irritably.
He had been worried something had happened to her, searching for days on end, but look at her, hiding in here playing games!
Mokui: “……”
Learning that Lin Fan and the others had followed her all the way into the internet cafe, Mokui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Doesn't that mean that them calling me 'Boss Lady' and asking me to get on their accounts was all exposed...?
“This One released a demonic spiritual aura to find you. You sensed it, didn't you?”
Lin Fan asked in a frigid voice.
Mokui silently swallowed, cold sweat streaming down her forehead. She nervously tapped her index fingers together and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than a crying face.
“Um… this subordinate sensed it…”
The moment she spoke, a hand pressed down firmly on the crown of her head.
“Are you saying you sensed Lord Demon Sovereign's aura, but instead of actively seeking him out, you hid here playing games?”
Meizhi gripped Mokui's head with one hand, leaned down close to her face, and stared at her with a murderous expression.
“I was actually planning to go look for Lord Demon Sovereign right away, just as soon as I finished today's games…”
Mokui explained in a panic.
“After you finished today's games?”
Hearing this, the killing intent on Meizhi's face grew even stronger, and he silently began to apply pressure with his hand.
“Ah! Aaaah! It hurts! Hurts, hurts, hurts! It's g-gonna crack…!”
Feeling her skull about to crack, Mokui couldn't help but let out a series of wails and quickly looked to Lin Fan to beg for mercy:
“Lord Demon Sovereign, I'll never do it again! Please spare me this one time! Really!”
Looking at Mokui's large, pitiful eyes, Lin Fan's expression was indifferent. He simply instructed:
“Meizhi, drag her back and deal with her. It wouldn't be good if blood gets on the floor.”
“Yes! Lord Demon Sovereign!”
Meizhi bowed to accept the order and began to drag Mokui out of the internet cafe by her head.
“EH?! Σ(っ °Д °っ)”
Mokui let out a cry of shock, kicking and struggling as she gradually disappeared from the sight of the people in the internet cafe.
“The Boss Lady has fallen…”
“Sigh, from this day on, China has one less genius esports girl…”
