Chapter 35: This is So d*mn Exciting!
Xu Xiaofeng first sought out the patrolling Guard Big Brothers, asking them to keep an eye out for an outsider named “I Also Think of You,” and just alert him when they found the person.
Then she sauntered over to the teleportation point to… start work.
After a week of exploration, the Players had mostly drifted into the relatively boring grind phase of the game, and some were starting to feel worn out.
Sure, the game was really fun, but not everyone wanted to spend all day grinding. A little grinding, a little enjoyment, some leisurely “fishing,” and watching live streams—that’s the real deal!
Because of this, Xu Xiaofeng’s express delivery job became a lot more laid-back.
She live-streamed her brick-moving antics in the morning, letting the audience see how deliveries are done. Although, of course, they couldn’t tell a thing.
In the afternoon, some impatient souls decided it was time to spice things up, particularly one with the ID “Brother I Still Want.”
“Nuclear Bomb Little Sister, I see you’re just sitting there with nothing to do. How about you join us for some excitement?”
Xu Xiaofeng looked up and asked, “What do you want to play, Mahjong?”
“More exciting than that.” Brother I Still Want raised an eyebrow and flashed a lewd smile. “A game only adults can handle.”
At this point, the Bear Mountain g*n God sensed something was amiss and immediately chimed in, “Dude, I’m still live streaming here. Be careful.”
“I know, but I believe the brothers in the live room are also curious. Everyone’s an adult, they understand.”
Sure enough, the chat exploded with agreement.
“This bro’s ID screams ‘greatness.’ He knows how to hold back.”
“I’m an adult, I don’t get it, so I’d like to inquire.”
“Our live room is civilized; we say no to gambling and drugs.”
“GKDGKD.”
And what about our Nuclear Bomb Little Sister? She’s super brave!
“If I play the game, can I also become an adult?”
“Of course, we can teach you how to be an adult!”
“How to be an adult?”
“Yeah, come on, you’ll find out when you play.”
So, Xu Xiaofeng followed Brother I Still Want.
Noticing that everyone else wanted in on the fun, they followed along, with even more viewers joining the live stream to watch.
Everyone was eager to see just how one becomes an adult.
After some walking, the group exited the city and entered a wilderness area.
The wild? Now that’s real excitement!
For Xu Xiaofeng, it was indeed thrilling. The last time she slipped out of the city, Uncle Edward had given her quite the scolding. So…
She definitely wasn’t going to be obedient. Did they really think of her as a three-year-old?
Let’s see just how exciting this is today!
Before long, they reached their destination.
Brother I Still Want stood seriously in front of Xu Xiaofeng and said, “The next bit will be very thrilling and major for you, so hold on tight.”
The chat went wild.
“It’s about to happen!”
“OMG! In broad daylight, a group of men would dare do something like this to a little loli!”
“Under the sun, in full view, how could they do something so shameful? Where’s the morality? Where’s the bottom line? Where’s the link for lightning strikes?”
“This isn’t a kindergarten bus! I want to get off!”
Then, in front of everyone, Brother I Still Want pointed at a wolf that was easily twice Xu Xiaofeng’s size and said, “Go! Take it down!”
“Uh?” Xu Xiaofeng blinked, “What?”
Seeing the little loli looking a bit dazed, Brother I Still Want further explained, “How do you grow up without experiencing some adversity?”
“With your delicate skin, you’ve never suffered, have you? Today, us brothers are here to give you a good thrill.”
“Maybe right now you don’t get it, but in a few years, you’ll understand. That’s what growing up is!”
It was on! Fists are hardened!
BOSSes are my k*ll! Just who do you think you are trying to teach me to grind small wolves?
The live stream was filled with complaints.
“I’ve already taken my pants off, and you’re just showing me this!”
“Geneva, give me my money back!”
“But really, thinking it through, a little loli and a big gray wolf—we’re talking about human-animal bonding here.”
“So perverted, I love it.”
“This still isn’t a kindergarten bus!”
“Ding—dong—ding—dong, the kindergarten bus is here. Please get on board. For your safety, please wear this iron wristband before boarding.”
Xu Xiaofeng stood there thinking, then realized this was the normal turn of events.
Although this big brother looked pretty creepy and had a pretty odd ID, he was actually a good person.
No one would actually dare do something inappropriate in this game with thousands of viewers watching, right?
This guy was so upright. If anyone had ill thoughts, they should really reflect on themselves!
So Xu Xiaofeng reflected for half a minute…
And her conclusion was, since everyone was already getting playful, she might as well welcome it.
I mean, if there’s no fun in a live stream, even the prettiest streamer would get boring. Creating laughs is definitely better than just being pretty, and of course, way better than being suggestive.
Hmm, by “suggestive,” I mean the wholesome aspects of Chinese culture—anything else is just twisted thinking.
Once Xu Xiaofeng figured it all out, she switched to a reluctant expression: “Big Brother, can we not do this? I’m scared…”
“Don’t worry, we’ve got our iron-blooded men watching over you; I guarantee you’ll be fine.”
He tilted his chin, and his companions all started striking poses.
Some flexed their muscles with one arm, while others crossed their arms to show off the designs under their shirts; one even leaned back with limbs crossed, looking like a bizarre plant.
The others posed with legs crossed, bent poses, and pouty lips—everything you could imagine.
What the heck is this…
Xu Xiaofeng took back what she said earlier; these people really didn’t seem like nice guys at all.
She turned her pleading gaze toward the crowd of onlookers who had come to watch.
Of course, the onlookers wouldn’t back down, and since they were there, they were determined to enjoy the show today.
A battle between a little loli and a big gray wolf? Who will win?
But they were much more low-key than those macho guys.
“Nuclear Bomb Little Sister, just keep your eyes on it; we’ll help you catch it!”
“Where’s the priest? Give that dog a debuff!”
“Don’t stop the debuffs! We need a few warriors in to physically restrain it. I’ll take the back legs.”
“I’ll take the front legs.”
“I’ll take the torso.”
“I’ll take the neck.”
Soon, with the coordination of the priest and warriors, that poor giant wolf was pinned down, unable to move.
It was just a giant wolf—basically a bigger version of a neutral wolf—with no fighting power left in this situation.
“Come on, Nuclear Bomb Little Sister, it’ll be your experience points!”
Watching a bunch of people holding onto a wolf, Xu Xiaofeng felt her eye twitch.
These players were something else!
She thought for a moment and picked up a stone from the ground, hurling it at the giant wolf with all her might.
In front of everyone’s eager eyes, the stone hit the wolf on the head.
A bright red number floated up.
-1…
The crowd was stunned, the viewers in the live stream were stunned, even the giant wolf looked confused.
So all this fuss was just to give me a scratch? They could’ve just told me, and I’d cooperate!
Xu Xiaofeng scratched her cheek and flashed an apologetic smile: “Sorry, everyone, I don’t think I can throw hard enough.”
Uh-huh, she’s just a harmless little loli and wouldn’t engage in anything so cruel as hurting a little wolf.
Sure, she could play along with these silly online friends, but if she revealed any real power and took down the monster in one hit, who knows what bad rumors would spread, and that wouldn’t fit her harmless persona.
Now, she’d thrown a solid -1 damage, let’s see what they do about it!
Just then, someone shouted, “Hey! Priest, keep that debuff going! And you guys hit harder! I think this beast just scratched me; my health dropped by half!”
What he failed to notice was that just moments ago, the giant wolf was also stunned; it lost health purely because he had gotten too close and was hit by the space distortion before the stone struck it.
His shout brought everyone back to reality, and they all erupted into awkward laughter.
“Ha ha ha, it’s cool, after all, you’re still small; it’s normal not to be able to handle something so big.”
“Why don’t you take a breather? We’ll help you with that beast’s health.”
In the chat, there were plenty of comforting words, but even more messages like “AWSL” and “Health pack, someone give me a health pack to save me.”
Naturally, there were also plenty of assorted gifts and eye-catching comments.
After a while, the group collaborated to devise a comprehensive health plan.
Executing the plan, however, took quite a bit of time.
There was no choice; every single person needed to hit precisely without overdoing it, even the priest stepped in with a poke.
The giant wolf was numb, from the initial wild struggling to a lazy flop, eventually reaching the point of “Hurry up, I’m waiting for my flowers to bloom!”
At last, they managed to set the giant wolf back up in front of Xu Xiaofeng.
Looking at the now-relaxed wolf, just a few health points left, Xu Xiaofeng totally understood its feelings.
These guys were genuinely bored and had nothing better to do.
But hey, as long as she was earning money, everything was fine.
Thinking for a second, she decided to throw a stone again.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she threw her first stone with great effort.
-1.
But she wasn’t discouraged! She found a second stone and threw it with every ounce of strength she had.
-1!
Sitting down to catch her breath, she accepted the third stone that someone handed her, thanked them, and then gave it her all once more.
-1!!
She was feeling a bit exhausted.
This time she took a longer break. Then she accepted another stone, taking three whole seconds to lift it before launching it!
-2!!!
She scored a critical hit! She landed a whole two points of damage! That’s two whole points!
Wait a second! Why was this a critical hit? I was so precise in my throw!
In a flash, she pondered many possibilities. From the dawn of time to the minutiae of spring leaves and autumn hair. But her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a sound that made her grit her teeth…
Even Sister Tong couldn’t bear to watch!
With a lifeless “Awooo,” the giant wolf dissolved into particles of light.
OHHHHHHH!
The live audience and the chat erupted in cheers, with waves of “OH” filling the screen.
At that moment, a system notification rang in their minds.
Ding! Congratulations, you’ve triggered “People’s Wishes,” achieving the highest level drop, with twenty times the experience!
