010. Insomnia Night
He Jin shut down the computer. A look at the clock showed it was almost ti to sleep.
Junior dorm did not have the ‘turn off the lights’ rule, but he had always had a very regular schedule; every day around ten he would always go to bed. For this reason, Hou Dongyan often said that he lived like an old man, not a little college student.
However, this night, He Jin couldn’t sleep, mory from the ga kept on playing in his mind like a movie.
Fire’s figure in the sky, Fire’s magnetic voice, Fire’s smile when he killed him, as well as the last sentence that he sent...
He never thought that such dramatic things would happen to him.
Eight years of waiting, even in reality, how many people could do it?
Although the other guy’s behaviour aroused an inexplicable feeling inside hin, but to be treated like this, He Jin also couldn’t help but feel a bit moved...
On the contrary, his own -turtle hiding in it’s shell- approach, really made He Jin wanted to spurn at himself.
[T/N: turtle hiding in it’s shell (缩头乌龟) = a person who refuses to face reality or confront a problem}
He wondered, what was Fire feeling after he left? Disappointnt? Anger? Frustration?
Thinking about this sohow made him feel upset. He Jin turned over, and covered his head with the quilt.
Close to twelve o’clock, Hou Dongyan slowly shut down his computer to sleep. After finishing, he turned around and was surprised to find He Jin still awake: “Why are you still awake, insomnia?”
He Jin felt stuffy buried in his quilt, so he exposed his head, and fell silent for a long while. Then, he couldn’t bear his thoughts anymore and asked Hou Dongyan: “Do you rember your friends who played gas with you from eight years ago?”
Hou Dongyan was surprised for a mont: “Eight years ago? Junior high school? So long ago, who would rember ah!”
He Jin sighed, muttering: “Yes ah, who would rember...”
Hou Dongyan reacted: “You et your old friends in the ga?”
He Jin: “Yes, that person... still rembers .”
“Wow, amazing!” Hou Dongyan got into bed, and asked quite excitedly, “And then?”
He Jin: “We talked about what happened in the past when we were playing the ga ... He seems to think that I am a woman.” (= _ =)
To still rembered He Jin after so many years, and based on the fact that he also thought He Jin was a woman, it was not difficult to guess what the other guy must be feeling for He Jin. Hou Dongyan, who quickly realized this, turned to ridicule him: “Why, are you feeling so sort of psychological burden over this?”
He Jin sighed... yes, he felt guilty.
Hou Dongyan: “Jin Ge, if you want my opinion ah, I think you are being too serious about this. It’s only a ga, and because it’s online we don’t even know who is who, don’t think so much!”
He Jin: “....” He also had this ntality ah! (= _ =)
Hou Dongyan rembered sothing, and said happily to He Jin: “I’ll tell you sothing, ah, I recently played ‘ Dream Wonderland ‘ and et a buddy. His wife in the ga always asked him for equipnt and gifts, acting all kind of spoiled and cute... what do you think happened afterwards? ”
He Jin: “His wife is a liar?”
Hou Dongyan: “Not a liar, but a faker AH ~ you understand! However, my friend knew but still did not divorce him. He also said that he is still playing happily now, continue to let a man being spoiled by him every day, spending his money on him... ”
[T/N: Sotis people called guys who played a girl characters in gas as fakers.]
He Jin: “...”
Hou Dongyan: “So, it’s all about willingness to play, people who played gas are very aware of that. Well, even if you only put on a vest when playing, who would know? Computers are not dogs who can spy on you... Jin Ge, you also don’t be too serious, real life is tiring enough, why don’t allow people to indulge in the virtual world?”
He Jin: “...” It did seem to have a bit of truth.
After being enlightened by Hou Dongyan, He Jin also no longer felt like a jerk ...
Hou Dongyan yawned: ” Well, don’t think about it, good night ~”
Soon, a light snoring could be heard from the next bed. He Jin blinked his eyes in exhaustion, and sighed – being a “no hearts no lungs” person really is a subject of envy ah...
[T/N: No heart no lung (没心没肺) is an expression for soone who is simple minded or carefree. This is referring to HDY’s attitude.]

In another room at the sa building, another person was also destined to have a sleepless night.
On that person’s computer screen, a ssage popped out:
Nine Hall His Highness: “Damn you! Ruthless, you fucking crazy!”
Qin Yu pointed at Nine Hall His Highness’s na, and continued to declare war.
Nine Hall lay paralyzed on the ground: “Not coming! You are too ruthless today, I did nothing wrong to you!”
Fire Ruthless: “...”
〖Demon God Arena #6〗: Player「Dead Water °」 enters the room.
Nine Hall His Highness: “Ah ~ water brother you co ~ ~ ~ fast help to get revenge! [Crying]”
Dead Water : “...”
Dead Water : “What happened?”
Nine Hall His Highness: “Ruthless today eat the wrong dicine! He tricked here to kill ! Eighteen tis ah,;eighteen tis! I have died eighteen tis! [Crying] [crying] [crying]”
Dead Water went to Nine Hall His Highness and asked, “Geez, did you ntion about his wife?”
Fire Ruthless: “...”
Nine Hall His Highness: “What wife? Ruthless has a wife?”
Dead Water °: “You don’t know? The one that abandoned him for six years, oh no, already seven years, wait it’s wrong, looks like it’s been eight years...”
〖Demon God Arena #6〗: Player「Fire Ruthless」 declare war to player 「Dead Water」!
Nine Hall His Highness: “...”
Three minutes later, Dead Water lay down on the street together with Nine Hall, shedding two lines of tears. He sent a private chat to Nine Hall: “Did you see...”
〖Private Chat Nine Hall His Highness〗: “I did, Water brother, my condolence...”
〖Private Chat Dead Water〗: “I don’t want to accept... (T_T)”
〖Private Chat Nine Hall His Highness〗: “Fight again! I got your back!”
〖Private Chat Dead Water〗 : “Tonight just forget it, I’ll just continue to pretend to die with you...”
〖Private Chat Nine Hall His Highness〗: “Water brother, but you are Heavenly Being first master ah ... isn’t that enough?”
〖Private Chat Dead Water〗 “You are still young, do not understand, the road of beating the invincible, it’s a lonely one...”
Dead Water as ranked second on the Master List, originally his strength with Fire Ruthless, even if slightly inferior in PK technology, the two still could fight a lasting battle. But seeing that even now Fire Ruthless still have half of his blood, Dead Water had no intention to fight today. He still could not help but feel unhappy though.
Fire Ruthless: “I’m leaving.”
A few seconds later, Fire Ruthless disappeared from the arena.
Dead Water quickly got up, dressed in white clothes, with a folding fan in his hand, looking very different from the corpse who lay on the ground just now.
Dead Water°: “See ...”
Nine Hall His Highness: “You win!”

In the deep of the night, Qin Yu felt a slight cold on his body so he got up and draped a coat over his shoulder. He took a piece of paper, and drew circles on it, fingers kept tapping on the desk in thought. A while later, he turned and looked at the pinhole cara on his smart bracelet: “Call Peng Yu Hao.”
After a “ping” sound, a square light curtain erged, projecting a familiar face. It was the young man who called Qin Yu to broadcast before, his puffy face looked even more slovenly in the glow of the computer screen.
Peng Yu Hao was an assistant arranged by Fly Tour Network for Qin Yu. He is a night owl, his day and night was upside down, usually he would be awake from five to nine (five o’clock in the evening till nine o’clock in the morning), so for him, this phone call wasn’t really a late call.
“Oh elder brother, it’s already so late but you still haven’t sleep. Is it because you feel guilty?” Peng Yuhao is older than Qin Yu by a few years, but due to the strength of Qin Yu in the ga, he called him ‘elder broher’ as a show of respect: “Your act of ditching the audiences tonight could have cost more or less a few hundred dollars!”
Qin Ying raised his eyebrows: “PK?”
Peng Yu Hao quickly asked for rcy: “Qin brother ~ I’m kidding!”
“I have sothing to ask you,” Qin Yu knew he was joking, he was also just playing with him. He had known Peng Yuhao for two years, and although the other guy was slovenly, but his enthusiastic and loyalty made up for it. Not to ntion his circle in the ga network was also very wide, “Can you help to get involved in the ‘Demon God’ holographic helt lottery’s player information?”
Peng Yuhao: “Why do you want this?”
Qin Yu: “To find soone.”
Peng Yuhao: “What kind of person?”
Qin Yu: “My server area, the ga ID is Xiao Xian-Jin, spirit race, current level: 30, is a Hua University student, about the sa age as , estimated one year older than .”
Peng Yuhao: “Man or woman?”
Qin Yu: “I don’t know.”
Peng Yuhao: “You don’t know?”
Qin Yu pondered for a mont, before saying again: “Yes, don’t know.”
Peng Yuhao recorded the information, put up a glass of water to his lips, and frowned, “Who is this? With this low level, for you to find them yourself... Even if you t directly on the ga, usually people wouldn’t dare to do anything once they saw your na.”
Qin Yu: “It’s my wife.”
“Puff ... ” Peng Yu Hao splashed a mouthful of water on the computer screen!
Qin Yu added: “in the ga.”
No way! Peng Yu Hao, of course, knew it was in the ga, but he wondered: “You have a wife in the ga?”
Over the past few years, all people in the ga knew that “Fire Ruthless” did not like to talk about feelings, however, most of them had forgotten that he actually had a “wife.”
Qin Yu: “Don’t gossip, tell you can get it.”
Peng Yuhao coughed twice and explained: “This, I cannot guarantee ah, I certainly can’t get in the security information database. Revealing user’s personal information can be charged with legal responsibility, so the ga official is more cautious about these things. And that ‘Demon God’ lottery, the participants are not less than tens of thousands, to find such an individual there is equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack ... However, there is still a way, I know an insider, you can manipulate the data to make this ID player won the lottery. The ga company will release a winner list, with their telephone and address information extracted separately, so we can find it then. ”
Qin Yu: “Waiting for the helt lottery result... isn’t that in one month?”
Peng Yuhao: “At least one month!”
Qin paused and narrowed his eyes: “Fine.” – He had waited for eight years, waiting for one more month is nothing.
Feeling Qin Yu’s serious tone, Peng Yuhao turned on gossip mode: “Did she cheat money out of you? Or did she rob you? ... for you to resort on finding her real information, if it’s serious, then tell the police ah!”
Qin Ying: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Peng Yu Hao: “Are you sure she participated in the lottery?”
Qin Yu: “Yes, she was online tonight, I asked, and she said she joined.”
Peng Yu Hao exclaid: “I’ll do it! Don’t tell you ditch the broadcast tonight because of your wife?!”
Qin Yu: “Yes.”
Peng Yuhao almost fell from the chair, his gossip antenna began to rotate fast – gosh, he didn’t think Qin Yu was never “heartless” but “infatuated” ah... that person is in Hua Uni? Isn’t this Qin Ge’s school! However, because he did not know whether it’s a man and woman, Peng Yuhao felt a little worried. If he found out it’s a man, what would happen to Qin Ge?
Qin Yu: “OK, I’m going to sleep, the helt thing, just send the cost directly to .”
Peng Yu Hao: “Hey wait, the next ti I see you please rember...”
The words had not been finished, the connection was already cut off.
