Chapter 35: – Old Friend
Lin Jin has never been soone who takes the initiative to study. During her primary and middle school years, she relied on her mother's pushing, so she basically ranked within the top three in every test. Nowadays, she has started to study hard under the pushing of the Black Cat.
In order to get eighty points in the quiz, Lin Jin is now reading her English book every mont, almost completely eradicating gaming from her life. The only entertainnt she has is occasionally watching ga highlights, getting a kick out of watching others play. Regardless of whether it is English class or other classes, she always has her books with her, studying hard. As a result, almost everyone in the class now knows that a certain boy, as if stimulated by sothing, is even studying vocabulary and textbooks while eating.
After several days of hard studying, Lin Jin can finally stamr her way through the English textbook, even if she still can't fully understand the aning. Even though she may forget the things she has cramd in a few days, as long as she can get good grades in the quiz next Wednesday, she doesn't care whether she can rember those things afterwards.
On Saturday, Lin Jin, who has been studying hard, temporarily gave herself a half-day break. After finishing lunch at noon, she sat in front of the computer, intending to fully enjoy a gaming session.
Having missed this, perhaps a wire in her brain suddenly twitched, Lin Jin logged into her alternate QQ account which she only added online friends to.
This account was frequently used three years ago, when she was addicted to League of Legends rather than Dota 2, and was keen on pretending to be a girl in the ga. Her League of Legends userna was even extrely feminine: Lady Reina
This account only had online friends, no real-life friends were added, and it also joined a gaming group. The group was filled with online friends who played League of Legends. Three years ago, she pretended to be a girl in this group and had great fun fooling people in voice chats. However, after encountering a stubborn guy whom she tricked out of more than 200 yuan for ga skins, she never logged into this account again.
Lin Jin was caught up in her mories, but only for a mont before she snapped out of it. She shook her head, attempting to log out of this alternate account.
However, at that mont, a sowhat familiar profile picture started to bounce incessantly in the taskbar, replacing the penguin icon.
She clicked on it, and indeed, it was that stubborn guy from three years ago.
"Online?"
"Not online." Lin Jin pursed her lips and casually typed back, "What's up?"
"You haven't been online for a long ti, I missed you."
Imdiately she felt as sick as if she had eaten sothing disgusting. Lin Jin started to question how her past self managed to pretend to be a girl and date such a person. Didn't she find such words disgustingly cheesy back then?
"I'm logging out."
Lin Jin replied coldly, then logged off QQ casually. Her entire face was scrunched up, the taste of being fed dog sh*t was not pleasant.
"Hey, Lin Jin, weren't you going to play Dota?" Wu Min, sitting not far away, suddenly yelled at Lin Jin, "I've been calling you since dinner, I've been waiting for you for almost an hour."
"I told you to start a round without ."
Lin Jin imdiately put the matter behind her, opened the Dota client, and invited Wu Min and Lin Xin from the next room into her team. Just as she was about to start the ga, she suddenly noticed a tremble on her table. She hesitated and looked at the phone placed beside the table.
A new task?
It had only been a few days, but Lin Jin felt as though she hadn't seen the black cat for many years. Lin Jin, who hadn't received a new task for several days, didn't know why she was looking forward to this task. Although the task requirents were always a bit excessive, upon careful thought, so of the rewards were really good.
Like that one-week al expense and that ten-thousand-dollar reward.
Thinking of the money, Lin Jin imdiately picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, and saw the latest task.
Weekly task: Old Friend
Looking at your recent chat, this cat has found that the guy who is whispering sweet nothings to you from the other end of your computer seems to be in this school, huh? Maybe even by your side,
Find him!
Reward:
5% Feminization Transformation and a stun gun! This cat has a good relationship with Doraemon. To steal... to demand this gun for your protection, this cat had to be busy for three or four days before escaping from his chase.
Punishnt: The whole school will know that there is a cross-dressing pervert hiding in the male dormitory, peeping at n taking baths every day.
"Hey, hey?!" Lin Jin's brow furrowed, she complained discontentedly, "I'll be back to a man in a week, alright? Isn't there sothing wrong with this punishnt?"
"No problem at all." The black cat suddenly stumbled in from outside the phone screen, there were two noticeable lumps on its head, bandages on its leg, but it still dutifully explained to Lin Jin, "Whether you are a man or not by then, a lie becos truth after being repeated a hundred tis, and everyone in the school will think you are a cross-dressing pervert!"
If this were a comic, there would definitely be a big "enligtened" word above Lin Jin's head right now.
Slightly annoyed, Lin Jin pressed the 'start ga' button on her computer, and glanced helplessly at her phone while supporting her cheek with one hand.
"But if the task is completed, you will never have to be afraid of robbery, murder, bullying young girls, and such things in the future! A stun gun, at high noon, one shot one kill!" The black cat enthusiastically described the wonderful future after completing the task to Lin Jin, then tripped over its foot and fell to the ground, but didn't stop talking, "You can totally go out at night and fight with bad guys, shoot them one by one accurately. In a few days, you will beco a hero in Xian’s Jii District!"
"Tch." Lin Jin pulled a face of contempt.
"Lin Jin, who are you talking to?" Wen Xuan, who was lying on the bed playing with his phone, suddenly stuck his head out, looking at Lin Jin below, "Are you video calling soone?"
"Yes." Lin Jin nodded calmly. Although she wasn't video chatting with a person, video chatting with a cat shouldn't make much difference, right?
The ga started, and Lin Jin imdiately gave up the idea of further explaining to Wen Xuan. She was ready to devote herself wholeheartedly to the ga, but suddenly paused. She found a black cat, the size of a ping-pong ball, had staggered out from the right side of the screen.
This was the computer screen, not the phone screen.
"Playing a ga? I'm joining too! I'm joining too!" The black cat had a speech bubble floating above its head, it was excitedly walking around in Lin Jin's computer, "Hey, don't move the mouse, let
play!"
"Do you even know how to? And look at your foot." Just reminded by Wen Xuan, Lin Jin now used the typing thod to type these three characters in the ga chat box for the black cat to see, and then deleted them.
"I'm a dignified cat!"
"Whatever you say." Lin Jin looked at the black cat beginning to choose a character with a look of despair. She had spent the last three or four days studying English, looking forward to having a good ti playing the ga this afternoon. But now she could only watch the black cat play the ga.
But she couldn't not let it play. After all, it was the one issuing the tasks. If she offended it, it might give Lin Jin a task to find soone to... well... 'get intimate' with...
Oh crap, suddenly it seed that with the black cat's lack of integrity, such a 'getting intimate' task could indeed be a possibility!
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Translator’s Note: The Stun Gun here refers to the stun gun gadget from Doraemon. According to the Doraemon Wiki, "it is capable of releasing a shock wave to hit opponents, rendering them unconscious for a short ti."
League of Legends, or LOL, is a popular online ga similar to Dota 2.
