Chapter 020 : Online-Offline

He Jin: “…..” (= ___=)

Is this the old Fire? I certainly don’t think so.

Spirit race cultivation was not the same as other races, their leveling rate had always been faster. In just one hour, He Jin had already upgraded from level 1 Spiritual Pet, to level 3. Fire said, according to this speed, they could rush to make him full-level before the opening of the holographic version. And there would still be many things to do after he became full-level, such as honing his skill points, brushing his potential, looking for equipment; they would always have fun things to do.

He Jin took a look at the clock, and was surprised to find it’s already 10 o’clock. He asked Fire: “What time do you usually sleep?”

Fire’s reply came really fast: “Are you going to sleep?”

With so many things happened in this one night, He Jin’s brain was actually still very excited: “No, I am just afraid I’ve been delaying you for too long… By the way, what about the live broadcast? You suddenly walked away before, will there be any problem? ”

Fire Ruthless: “Don’t worry about that.”

Xiao Xian-Jin: “Don’t do something like this again.”

Fire Ruthless: “Eh?”

Xiao Xian-Jin: “I won’t leave anymore, and I’ll also come online often later… I saw it you know, you have a lot of fans, and they really like you. So if, because of me, you ditch your live broadcast again, I will feel guilty.”

Fire Ruthless: “Oh, then you’d better adjust your online time to differ from my broadcast’s schedule, otherwise I will be absent-minded the whole time.”

Xiao Xian-Jin: “…”

“Your live broadcast is every Tuesday. Thursday, and Saturday from 8 o’clock to 10, right? Then it’s fine, I will be online every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday night at seven or eight o’clock. But I have something to do next Wednesday evening, so I may not come online.” He Jin noted each of their schedules carefully,

Fire Ruthless: “How about Sunday?”

Tomorrow is Sunday; He Jin thought to himself for a while and mentally confirmed that he had nothing to do tomorrow, so he said: “I will come tomorrow. It’s okay if you are not free, I can play alone, just give me those stealth tickets.”

Fire chuckled a bit: “I’ll come too, I will wait for you tomorrow.”

After confirming once again, they said good night to each other.

Qin Yu looked at the familiar grey Xiao Xian-Jin name in his friend list, his face filled with a trace of smug smile.

He took another computer, opened the “Demon God” game, entered Ah-Jin’s username and password, and clicked Login…

A second later, a system message flashed on his own screen-

〖System〗: Your wife, “Xiao Xian-Jin” is online.

Qin Yu stared at that name on his friend list once again; it’s no longer grey, but lit up instead. Qin Yu felt incredibly pleased.

A minute later, he withdrew from Ah-Jin’s account.

10 seconds later, he landed on Ah Jin’s again.

〖System〗: Your wife, “Xiao Xian-Jin” is online.

Qin Yu grinned, and a burst of happy laughter flowed out from his mouth. He was completely acting like a child who had just found his favorite toys.

Going online, then offline, online, offline, online, offline, he repeated this procedure over and over again.

For so many years, almost every time he went into the game, the one thing Qin Yu had always been looking forward to see was the flashing of this particular system prompt… Sometimes, he even wanted to find a hacker to steal Ah-Jin’s account information, so that he could play it occasionally, and saw that name lit up, doing a self-deception to himself,,,

Until today, finally, he felt thoroughly happy. Watching this sentence came up again and again, the emptiness and pain in his heart, which had accumulated after eight years of waiting, also felt as if it had been cured a little.

Qin Yu did this for about seven or eight times, before he was finally satisfied. He then looked back at Ah Jin’s username that he had written down before, hj2000—

Qin-Sherlock Holmes-Yu’s Detective Brain began to operate-

“Ah Jin”, he uses “Jin” as in-game name, so “HJ” is likely to be the initials of Ah Jin’s real name, with Jin as the second character!

So, does it mean the first letter “H” is a surname? The commonly used “H” surnames are Hu, Hong, He, Han, Ho, Hao…

Is it Huang Jin? Hu Jin? Hong Jin? He Jin? Han Jin? Ho Jin? Hao Jin?

A few of those names sounded familiar to him, especially “Huang Jin”, Qin Yu knew two persons with this name. In addition, there was a “He Jin” that he met at the lake tour this morning, a senior from his university. He did not know though, whether the “Jin” in his name was the same “Jin” as the one in Ah Jin.

[T/N: Qin Yu is talking about the chinese character, He Jin’s in-game name uses the character 晋, but there are other characters that can be read as “Jin” as well.]

However, in the absence of sufficient evidence, he was reluctant to speculate too much…

Anyway, Qin Yu was not anxious, he still had time to find out.

Thinking of this, he put the note back on the table, then went to sleep with a very good mood.
