Chapter 25: Chapter 25 – Three dinsions, no, Otaku, yes_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 – Three dinsions, no, Otaku, yes_1 Luo Xi shoveled all the fried rice from his plate into his mouth, gulping it down in a few big bites. Under the stunned gazes of the girls, he didn’t answer any of their questions; instead, he chose to take to his heels and bolt.
Why did he feel like he was getting increasingly skilled at making a run for it…
Damn it, Luo Xi was really pissed off right now. Those two sons of guns from the dorm next door actually ‘tead up’ with the dorm supervisor Auntie to pull a fast one on him.
Old Sun and Old Zhou, those two guys, were sowhat understandable—one was busy pounding the keyboard, exchanging ‘pleasantries’ with his teammates about each other’s families, and the other was pretending to be dead, lying there until he was dizzy. But why didn’t the dorm supervisor Auntie have any reaction at all?
My dear Auntie, you saw sothing you normally couldn’t see. Could you at least give a look of surprise?
Under the cover of night, Luo Xi went to a food stall outside the school and picked out a big white hat to purchase.
Until he figured out how to make this thing on his head disappear, Luo Xi planned on wearing this hat all the ti.
Not gonna lie, the hat did look quite dashing on him. Charm 1!
On the way back to campus, Luo Xi saw that there was no one around, and an idea popped into his head.
He tried to smash his fist into the ground.
Bang!
A soft thud.
Luo Xi moved his fist away to see a fine crack appearing in the concrete ground.
He looked at his fist, which was sowhat pale.
Although he had held back quite a bit with this punch, it still felt a lot weaker compared to when he was fighting Black Snake.
It seed like sothing was limiting his strength output.
The ga text had stated that enhancents and changes to the ga character in the Dream world would be equally reflected on his real-life self. Thus Luo Xi’s current surge in strength was obviously a result of changes to his ga character.
But this reflected change was not identical; otherwise, the punch just now would have at least left a crater in the concrete.
Moreover, in the Dream world, he could genuinely touch the horn on his head, but in reality, he could only see it and not touch it. Why was that?
He didn’t get it.
What was different about this world he was in from the Dream world in the ga?
Luo Xi recalled in detail all those scenes and mories from the ga.
The questions he had discussed with Wei’er flashed through his mind one by one.
Sublimation abilities, Mutant Factor, the Eternal World Tree… No, it wasn’t those.
He rembered a term.
The flawless Yuan Su.
That’s right, unlike the Dream world, this world he inhabited didn’t contain a thing called ‘Yuan Su’.
When Luo Xi was controlling his ga character in the Dream world, he could clearly perceive an abundance of unidentified energy constantly swirling around him, interacting with his body with every movent.
While exchanging blows with Black Snake, a strange energy surged from his body, intertwined with Black Snake’s energy, creating a peculiar field that froze their actions in place.
This kind of unscientific thing probably didn’t exist in reality; otherwise, there would have been a bunch of people with superpowers by now.
Luo Xi had a hunch.
Although the scarlet Dragon Horn could be projected, because his body didn’t have enough Yuan Su and couldn’t transform into a physical state, it resulted in the awkward situation where he could see it but not touch it.
That made sense.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the Mutation Syndro he contracted in reality was far milder than in the ga.
After all, without Yuan Su, the Mutant Factor related to it likely had very limited effects.
So, did this an that if he stopped playing “Dawn” from now on, the Mutation Syndro wouldn’t progress and worsen?
Luo Xi couldn’t be certain.
Nor did he dare to gamble.
He was unsure if this was the first closed beta test of the ga. If what the push notification said when he downloaded the ga was true, then there were at least a hundred thousand players out there in reality.
Out of over seven billion people worldwide, if the player slots were distributed evenly, there’d be at most around 20,000 players from Xia country.
That small amount of people, scattered across over a thousand counties in the country, wouldn’t make much of a splash.
But what if there was a second or third closed beta?
Or an open beta?
If other people could also gain strength in the ga, then the world, as compared to before, would undoubtedly begin to undergo gradual changes.
Luo Xi felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart.
It wasn’t just because of his own issues. Humanity’s uncertainty about the future could make anyone panic and anxious.
Dorm room 408.
When Luo Xi returned, the two postgraduate exam candidates had already co back from the library.
A young man wearing glasses peeked down from the bunk above, chuckling, “Yo yo, long ti no see, Luo Xi. I didn’t see you when I ca back and thought Old Wang had tricked .”
“Why would I trick you, his bed’s all made,” Wang Yuanjie replied with a smile, then asked, “Where did you go just now, Little mule? For so reason, the railing on our dorm balcony broke, and I thought you had fallen off and scared to death.”
“Went to buy sothing to eat,” Luo Xi said.
“Figured. But why are you wearing a hat?” Wang Yuanjie asked sowhat puzzled.
Luo Xi replied without hesitation, “Because it looks cool.”
“…”
“Since when did you start caring about appearances, eh?”
Chen Yao teased, “After working for three months, you’re not thinking about changing your ways and getting off the singles’ train, are you, Luo Xi?”
Luo Xi responded casually, “Maybe.”
“Ah? Who is it? Is it that Ai Xue from horticulture?”
Chen Yao sat up on the bed, brimming with gossip, “Speaking of which, you really don’t know how blessed you are. If a pretty girl liked , I would’ve accepted her in a heartbeat. But you, you kept turning her down several tis, even went as far as to block her WeChat and phone number.”
“Ah?”
Luo Xi was taken aback for a few seconds.
Then he recalled the Ai Xue that Chen Yao was talking about, a junior he t during a volunteer activity in the second sester of his sophomore year.
Ai Xue was actually quite pretty, with a good figure, but for so inexplicable reason, she beca fixated on him.
Heaven and earth as witness, he was just tagging along with the group to pad his volunteer hours for credit, and sohow he caught her interest.
From the end of his sophomore year to the beginning of his senior year, Luo Xi had firmly rejected her overt and covert confessions six tis.
The reasons for rejection were always: I’m sorry, you’re not my type.
Or I’m already seeing soone.
Others might not know, but his dorm mates were well aware of the situation.
After a few tis, they started wondering if Luo Xi might be into guys. They even went to bed each night clutching their own buttocks, fearing for their safety.
Wouldn’t anyone like a girl who was both pretty and curvy?
Oh, you say you have a girlfriend? Where is she?
With an unchanged expression, Luo Xi declared, “My wives are in ani and gas!”
