Chapter 217: Little Moon is So Fierce!
Yuliya woke up, glanced at the time, and realized not much had passed.
Her chat with Ayelus cleared up a big chunk of her confusion but also brought up new questions.
Wait, is this place really far from Ayelus? What’s with that concealing barrier?
That so-called activity dungeon, the Ruinous Country, should be in the same general vicinity as the Golden Kingdom.
During the last event, the system’s teleportation did take quite a while.
So, the Golden Kingdom must be pretty far from here.
Yet, evidence of the Golden Kingdom remains, with its heroic spirits lurking around.
It’s all so puzzling.
After thinking for a moment, Yuliya tucked these thoughts away in her heart.
It was just too early for her to tackle these issues—overthinking would only bring trouble.
Right now, her main goal was still to level up and complete quests.
For a while after, Yuliya just went about her daily routine, causing no big stir.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyue was diligently attending classes and gaming.
After some adjustments, the gaming programs at various universities fell into a proper rhythm.
One day, after finishing her classes and achieving her after-school goals, Xu Xiaoyue logged off and prepared to head home for some well-deserved rest.
Now, their schedules had been revamped; classes started at 1 PM, beginning with theoretical lessons followed by gameplay.
There were also fixed gaming practice sessions in the evenings, basically an extended study session that often ended close to midnight.
Even so, Xu Xiaoyue made it a point to go home every day.
Other classmates suggested she should just stay on campus. It wasn’t safe for a girl to be out at night.
But she just shook her head, “I’ve got a little guy at home. I’d worry about leaving her alone.”
“Your little sister? You really spoil her, huh?”
Xu Xiaoyue smiled wryly.
Spoiling her is one thing, but leaving her home alone often leads to disasters!
Not that the child would get into trouble, but the house might!
She genuinely had the potential to demolish the place—no joke!
Just as Xu Xiaoyue was about to leave, someone called out to her.
“Flower of the Month!”
She just glanced at the boy and kept quiet.
The caller was Chen Hongyi, a guy from her class.
Apparently, he had some family background, so he was somewhat popular amongst the boys and always had two followers trailing him.
But that didn’t concern Xu Xiaoyue since she hardly knew him.
Chen Hongyi didn’t mind, smiling as he continued, “I’ve got a small favor to ask of you, Flower of the Month.”
“I don’t have time. I’m heading home.”
She always maintained a stern expression in front of outsiders, which helped her avoid trouble—like right now.
But this time, it seemed he wasn’t easily deterred.
“Don’t be so quick to turn me down! If you help me, I’ll definitely repay you. After all, we’re classmates!”
Xu Xiaoyue sighed internally.
“What do you want?”
Once she said it, she could come up with a better excuse to decline.
A flicker of joy crossed Chen Hongyi’s face.
“Actually, it’s nothing major. I just hope you can introduce me to Nuclear Bomb Little Sister in the game.”
“Hmm?” Xu Xiaoyue tilted her head, “Does she even need an introduction? If you want to meet her, just check when she’s online!”
Little Yuliya wasn’t mysterious; she was all over the place every day.
And she wasn’t pretentious—anyone could chat with her!
“That’s true, but that kind of introduction just isn’t enough. I want to get closer.”
“Look, I’m no use to you. You should just reach out to her yourself.”
On the surface, she was just a part-timer trying to raise her favorability level in the game.
With that, Xu Xiaoyue prepared to walk away.
“Wait! I’ll be blunt— I want to visit the Heroic Spirit Trial Tower through her help. I hope you can put in a good word for me.”
Now Xu Xiaoyue was genuinely speechless.
What on earth is this guy thinking?
If you want to scale the tower, just go for it! There are five spots available every day; just grab one!
If you can’t, that’s your problem.
Don’t dream big if you don’t have the skills.
“She has a public slot section during her livestream every day. You can figure it out from there.”
Now Xu Xiaoyue was really ready to escape. She didn’t want to say another word.
People like him are nonsensical; even if you put him in the tower, would he even clear two levels?
University students were the main force in gaming, and those specializing in gaming were like elite soldiers among them.
But the true top-tier players didn’t hang around universities—they either had their own connections or got poached by those who did.
Xu Xiaoyue had already taken a step away when he wouldn’t give up.
“Flower, you really have to help me! I’m feeling pressured to level up!”
“Just ask her! I’m sure you can manage it. I won’t let you down!”
In Chen Hongyi’s eyes, Xu Xiaoyue’s success was closely tied to Nuclear Bomb Little Sister.
He figured she had probably already used her connections to get into the Heroic Spirit Trial Tower.
And he wasn’t entirely wrong—Xu Xiaoyue had indeed snagged her chance to enter the trial tower for free.
But what did that have to do with him?
For her, he rated as—an idiot.
She quickened her pace to leave.
“Stop! You can’t just walk away!”
His lackeys stepped in front of her, while Chen Hongyi himself grabbed for her arm.
With a sharp glare, Xu Xiaoyue swiftly twisted and held his wrist, stepping forward and pivoting forcefully.
The next moment, Chen Hongyi felt the world spin as his body went uncontrollably airborne, crashing down hard onto the ground.
He was completely dazed, still struggling to process the situation, but the pain in his rear hit him first.
“Ouch~!”
This guy, almost six feet tall, was utterly thwarted by a girl who barely reached five-six!
Xu Xiaoyue shot him just a glance and turned to the two blocking her path.
“Got something to say?”
At her words, the two snapped back to reality, and upon meeting Xu Xiaoyue’s icy gaze, instinctively shrank back.
“If you don’t, just move aside!”
Now Xu Xiaoyue was genuinely angry. She was in a rush to get home!
The two immediately jumped aside, watching as Xu Xiaoyue departed.
Once her figure vanished, they rushed to help up the fallen Chen Hongyi.
“Yo, Brother Yi, you okay?”
“Brother Yi, should we head to the hospital?”
“Get the heck away from me!”
Chen Hongyi shoved the pretenders aside, laboriously struggling to stand.
Xu Xiaoyue had deliberately aimed for his rear to hit the ground first.
It hurt, but it wouldn’t hurt him permanently!
Once the initial pain wore off, he could somewhat move again.
“d*mn!”
He spat furiously, turning to glare at the onlooking classmates.
“What are you gawking at? Get lost! I’ll warn you—if you dare share what happened today, you’ll regret it!”
With that, he stomped off, grumbling and limping, with his two lackeys trailing behind.
Only then did the other students, who had been watching, collectively gasp.
“Whoa~! Did Little Moon just go that hard?”
“I think she could’ve been a little harsher. That guy’s still standing, so it’s clearly not enough.”
“I had no idea our school beauty was this fierce in a brawl! That move was kinda cool!”
“Let’s go tell the teacher. This must be Chen Hongyi’s fault; we can check the footage!”
