WAITING FOR YOU ONLINE (就等你上线了)

Chapter 001 : Xiao Xian (The Little Fairy)

Hearing this, He Jin was startled. Not because of the “holographic” phenomena, but because of the game previous name, “Spirit Fairy” — this was the name of a really popular game during his middle school time, which was also the only online game He Jin had ever played.

At that time, China’s internet novels had began to gain popularity, especially in the world. Fantasy, and cultivating themes became really well known among the young people who claimed that they felt like they were being sucked into the author’s fantasy. During this time, Green Fox network launched a large-scale 3D cultivating online game “Spirit Fairy” with the theme of cultivating immortality, which attracted countless young players to play.

Almost all of He Jin’s classmates were playing the game back then; every day after school all they talked about were topics related to this game. Some people even established a class group association for this game, making it more difficult for He Jin not to follow along.

“…… Six months ago, [Magic Tower] also opened a server in foreign countries and received so many praises and attention from the public!” Hou Dongyan was still gushing, “Oh right, recently the game official also released an event, it is said that accounts which were registered during the game’s previous version, [Spirit Fairy], has the opportunity to win a Demon God’s holographic helmet, which is worth thousands of dollars. But when [Spirit Fairy] was released, we were still in junior high school, I have long forgotten my account’s password ah!”

Hou Dongyan sighed before suddenly realizing that the person he was talking to was He Jin, someone who had never played games before. Telling him these things was like to a chicken talking with a duck.

[T/N:鸡同鸭讲: A Chinese idiom, means two people who cannot communicate due to a language barrier.]

“Okay, I know you certainly have no interest in these things..” Hou Dongyan looked at the time. He was just about to put down his headset and ask his roommates to eat dinner in the cafetaria, when he heard a voice on his side asking, “Do you have the installation package for this game?”

Hou Dongyan: “…” did the Sun suddenly rise from the west?

—————

After dinner, He Jin double clicked on the “Demon God” icon that had been installed in his computer, and entered a string of familiar username and password in the long-shaped login box.

Hou Dongyan let out a sound of surprise as he looked from beside him, “You unexpectedly have an account?”

He Jin: “I played in junior high. ”

Hou Dongyan eyes grew even bigger: “And do you still remember the account’s password?” ”

He Jin: “All of my social network account passwords are the same, and if they are wrong, it might just be the pin number …”

“No, I think it’s right” he said. Hou Dongyan also looked expectantly at the screen. Today’s He Jin was really an eye-opener for him. He had known this guy for two and a half years, and never once did he saw him doing anything except studying and doing the typical student’s works. He had always thought that He Jin was a stereotype definition of a nerd, a workaholic. Never would he think that he also played online games!

The network speed this year had been really fast, and because the server was so popular, queue rarely happened in the game. After He Jin pressed the login key, he only needed to wait a moment, and the game already started, indicating the account password was correct.

Then, a system notification box popped out on his screen-

〖Dear “Xiao-Xian-jin”, Welcome back to [Spirit Fairy]! The game has been upgraded over the past eight years, and is now called “Demon God”. Because the system detected that your account is registered with the initial version ID, you have the opportunity to enter “Demon God” holographic helmet’s lottery event! The lottery winning rate is up to 5%, please click on the following Web site to … 〗

“Ah Ah Ah! Hurry up!” Hou Dongyan patted the back of He Jin’s chair to urge him.

He Jin’s eyes twitched, but he still opened the lottery interface. It brought him to a form page, with a message saying that he needed to fill out a series of information about himself first, including real name, mobile phone, contact address and identification card number.

“Is this really alright?” he asked, turning a bit cautious.

Hou Dongyan explained: “Brother, nowadays playing any kind of games all uses this real-information system. If you want to register an account, you must fill these first. Not to mention this is Fox NET’s game, which already has national game certification policy. If you are still unsure, you can fill it with my identity card information. If you win, I will send it back to you!”

After thinking about it, He Jin then filled out the form with Hou Dongyan’s information, but unexpectedly, soon after submitting, an error notification popped out.

〖I am sorry, this identity card information has already been used. Demon God adopt a one-person one-identity policy. Each Identity card information can only be used in one game account. 〗

Hou Dongyan: “…”

Helpless, He Jin had to change the information to his own before he successfully entered the lottery. The lottery results would be announced after one month, at the same time with the release of “Demon God” holographic version.

Going back to the game interface, He Jin’s character image had appeared, a little girl wearing blue lolita-styled clothing.

“Poof …” Hou Dongyan laughed out loud, “Jin Ge, you played a female character!”

He Jin face turned slightly red, he lightly coughed and readily gave an excuse: “Blind election.”

He himself also forgot that his character was a woman. (=_=)

However, it was actually common for boys to play female characters in games. Nowadays many female characters in games are designed to be sexy, enchanting, and male players often played with female characters purely for the feast of their eyes. Hou Dongyan’s “Magic Tower” character itself was a red-haired female elf.

Hou Dongyan took a glance at the server where Jin was, and let out a disappointed sigh, “We are in different server ah!”

He Jin: “I’m just loging-in to have a look, and not really to play anyway.”

After hearing He Jin said this, Hou Dongyan just nodded and said jokingly, “Then if you won the helmet, send it to me,” before he turned to play on his own account.

He Jin went smoothly into the game. His character was standing in a deserted flower valley. All around him, the mountains were filled with white-yellowish grass, which appeared golden under the sunlight.

The scenery was very beautiful, making He Jin felt slightly amazed.

Adjusting the perspective of his blue clothed character, He Jin looked at the new scenery and dazzling view, and couldn’t help the particularly unfamiliar feeling brewing inside him.

He turned over to check on his friend list, which was full with grey names, and read the top several names: Flying meat clip bun, egg-ache omelet, lying gun dumplings … Most of them were his junior high school classmates at the time.

–Wait, Fire Ruthless?

Among the barrage of food-based names in his friend list, this name looked a little out of place. However, somehow He Jin got a very familiar feeling from it, though he couldn’t think of any specific person of who this name belonged to. After all, it had been eight years since the last time he played this game, so it was impossible for him to remember who was who anymore.

As he was thinking of this, in the next second, the name he had been looking at suddenly lit up, followed by a line of golden characters floating over the screen-

〖System〗: Your husband “Fire Ruthless” is online.
