Chapter 5
【You need to take the pictures yourself, and they must be the kind that make people unconsciously gulp and feel their mouths go dry.】
There was a place called Jinjiang(jjwxc) where the censorship was particularly strict. Even a slightly intense fight scene had a high probability of being blocked or locked. 555 didn’t dare to take that risk, so it could only hint at it vaguely.
And Zuo Bian, a straightforward person, naturally wouldn’t think too much when faced with such a roundabout hint.
In Zuo Bian’s mind, the things that could make people gulp and feel their mouths go dry were, of course, delicious food!
It had to be said that Zuo Bian was quite talented in photography.
In the photo, golden, crispy fried chicken pieces were piled high on a porcelain white plate covered with fresh green lettuce. In a glass filled with soda water, small bubbles surged, and droplets of water rolled down the sides. The afternoon sun slanted down, casting colorful light on the glistening water droplets.
At first glance, it looked like a picture found online, but it was indeed taken by Zuo Bian herself.
Clicking send, Zuo Bian said proudly to 555, “How’s this picture? I think it looks pretty good.”
【Well… it does look good…】
It did make one’s mouth water and want to gulp. Even it, a system, felt thirsty after looking at it.
But—
This wasn’t the kind of beautiful picture mentioned in the Green Tea Handbook! It should have been pictures of beautiful legs and deep cleavages! ☆★ Was it too late to change the content of the Green Tea Handbook now?
This kind of beautiful picture was a fake beautiful picture. Qin Ai definitely wouldn’t fall for it.
“Ah, she replied to me. Gulp.” Zuo Bian picked up the glass and took a sip of soda. “This water is so good.”
【What did she reply?】
“A period.” Zuo Bian said.
【The mission progress bar has increased, it’s now 0.9%. This means she doesn’t find you annoying, that’s good, that’s good.】
Zuo Bian ate another piece of fried chicken. “Mm, I’ll keep working hard.”
【Host, I think you need to learn more about this world first. This will help you with your conquest.】
Otherwise, what if she came up with this kind of fake Green Tea tactic again next time? Right, first, she needed to get in touch with the internet.
This was a world with highly developed internet information. One could obtain all kinds of interesting information online without leaving home.
It needed to let the host come into contact with the online world. Soon, its host would no longer be ‘innocent’!
“555, you’re right, there’s so much I don’t understand. And there’s no shame in seeking knowledge, as they say, live and learn. I’ve decided to start learning from the first grade of elementary school. The teacher praised me for being smart, I think it won’t take more than two or three years for me to catch up with my peers.”
【Wait, wait, wait, wait! It’s not really necessary.】
555 seemed to see its own weathered face.
“Huh?”
【By the time you’ve studied for two or three years, maybe the female lead will already be married. Then there won’t be any role for you to play. Learn to read first, and I’ll teach you the rest while you’re conquering her. And I have a quick way for you to understand this world, it will make you understand a lot.】
“Mm-hmm, you make a lot of sense, I’ll listen to you. So what’s the method?”
【It’s very simple, that is—play with your phone!】
Zuo Bian wiped her greasy hands, picked up her phone, and nodded seriously. “Mm, I’ll start playing now. What should I play?”
When she downloaded WeChat earlier, Zuo Bian also downloaded a bunch of random apps. 555 kept saying that this app’s icon was pretty, that app’s name was interesting, so Zuo Bian clicked download on all of them.
Now, faced with so many colorful apps, Zuo Bian was at a loss.
【Just browse the web and learn about the news of this world.】
[It’s already happening! The harm is very serious! Stop letting children play with their phones.] A news headline was displayed prominently. Zuo Bian clicked on it without thinking.
555【…】
555 really wanted to cry 555.
“It says that playing with phones is bad for your eyes. Wow! It can even cause blindness. Mm, I think that’s right, too much of anything is bad. Playing with phones is indeed because of not controlling the time.” Zuo Bian nodded as she spoke, looking very agreeable.
【Host, let’s look at other apps. Why don’t we play this MOBA ×× Legend? You, an ancient person, need to keep up with the trends of young people.】
Zuo Bian opened ×× Legend and started her gaming journey.
【Zuo Bian, Zuo Bian! Hey! There’s someone in the bushes on your left! Why are you standing there motionless? Ah! You’re dead!】
*Zuo Bian = (Left Side)*
“I thought you were calling my name.” Zuo Bian waited sheepishly for her resurrection. During these short tens of seconds, she familiarized herself with her hero’s skills.
After resurrecting, Zuo Bian was obviously much better than before, but giving away the first blood made her teammates unhappy, and someone had already started cursing.
‘Damn it, I’m so unlucky, I encountered an elementary school student again. I’ll report them later.’
‘You eat shit! It’s all because your dad didn’t teach you well.’
‘This kind of elementary school student should go home and do their homework. Why come out and harm people?’
The opposing team also taunted, ‘Where’s your non-mainstream player? We’re lacking in gold, come and give us a kill!’
Zuo Bian’s in-game name was chosen by 555, it was called Don’tTalkToMe, it was indeed very non-mainstream.
【I’m so angry! Let me curse back!】
Zuo Bian, however, didn’t notice these words at all. She had already roughly understood the logic of the game. She lurked in the enemy’s jungle to farm first, killing any enemy hero that appeared. Her gold quickly increased.
Meanwhile, the system used its ability to hack into the phone and type back curses. Paragraphs of words kept popping up, instantly drowning out the occasional curses from those who were targeting Zuo Bian, leaving them with no chance to fight back.
Zuo Bian’s three teammates were arguing with the system, while two players on the opposing team watched the show with relish. Only five people in the entire game were seriously playing.
Zuo Bian quietly farmed, followed by a player with a truly elementary school student level of skill named TodayIsASunnyDay.
Zuo Bian’s skills, after farming, became terrifyingly good. Anyone who came near her became a kill. TodayIsASunnyDay, whose record was always 0/×/0, rarely managed to get an assist.
Before she knew it, Zuo Bian had charged into the enemy’s high ground. The enemy heroes who tried to stop her were like paper in front of the farmed Zuo Bian and were instantly eliminated.
A few dozen seconds later, the character controlled by Zuo Bian destroyed the enemy’s base crystal. Her teammates, who were still cursing, stared at the screen in a daze, not understanding what had just happened.
Zuo Bian remembered someone saying they would report her, so she reported all her teammates except for TodayIsASunnyDay. Following 555’s instructions, she chose “AFK” (Away From Keyboard) as the reason for the report.
Her teammates all had a 0/0/0 record, so reporting them for AFK was guaranteed to be successful.
TodayIsASunnyDay’s record was 0/0/3. This was the first time he had achieved such a good result, so he clicked the “Add Friend” button without hesitation.
TodayIsASunnyDay: Hello hello, can you carry me, great god? You’re so amazing. My mom told me that my sister used to be a pro gamer too, but she only knows how to work and never carries me. By the way, this is my Q-Q *********
Zuo Bian slowly typed a reply: But I don’t have Q-Q.
Now Zuo Bian knew what Q-Q was, but she really didn’t have a Q-Q account.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely think that Zuo Bian didn’t want to add them. But the innocent Qin Tian not only didn’t think so, he even enthusiastically taught Zuo Bian how to create a Q-Q account.
So Zuo Bian actually created a Q-Q account and added TodayIsASunnyDay as a friend.
TodayIsASunnyDay seemed quite young and very talkative. He kept chattering, insisting that Zuo Bian carry him.
Zuo Bian thought she had nothing else to do, so she carried TodayIsASunnyDay for a few more games.
Zuo Bian seemed to have a natural talent for gaming, carrying TodayIsASunnyDay to victory in several consecutive games.
TodayIsASunnyDay: Two hours are up, I can’t play anymore. Thank you for carrying me, great god! Mwah (づ￣ 3￣)づ Love you!
Although TodayIsASunnyDay couldn’t play games today, there was still Q-Q. He immediately switched to Q-Q to chat with Zuo Bian.
TodayIsASunnyDay: Great god, great god, will you have time to carry me next time? I’m very well-behaved, I’ll try my best not to hold you back.
Zuo Bian: Okay.
TodayIsASunnyDay: That’s great! Great god, let me introduce myself, my name is Qin Tian, I’m thirteen years old this year, and I’m in the second year of junior high school. I’m really not an elementary school student. What’s your name?
555 couldn’t help but comment, 【I’ve never seen someone so talkative. But this kid’s name sounds familiar.】
Zuo Bian: My name is Zuo Bian, I’m 21 years old this year. Actually, today was my first time playing this game.
Qin Tian: Wow! That’s amazing! You’re so good on your first try, you must be even better than my sister.
555【Host, quickly ask him what his sister’s name is. I remember Qin Ai has a younger brother!】
Zuo Bian: Is your sister’s name Qin Ai?
Qin Tian: !!!! How did you know? Is great god that amazing? You can even guess my sister’s name.
Zuo Bian didn’t expect to encounter Qin Ai’s younger brother just by playing a game.
Zuo Bian: I kind of want to meet your sister.
Qin Tian: You want to spar with her? That’s difficult. She doesn’t play games anymore, she’s busy with work every day. She said she’ll pick me up from school tomorrow afternoon, but I don’t believe her. She’s always late or doesn’t come at all, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮ Bad sister.
Zuo Bian chatted with Qin Tian for a while longer. Without much prompting, Qin Tian revealed all his family secrets.
Zuo Bian not only knew which school and which grade Qin Tian was in, but also his score on the last monthly exam.
【How did this child manage to grow up safely? It’s truly a miracle. I highly doubt that he could be lured away with a lollipop.】
“He’s so cute. I hadn’t even asked him anything, and he told me everything.” Zuo Bian’s eyes curved into crescents, she was very happy.
【Now we know that the female lead Qin Ai will go to pick up her younger brother tomorrow. We can go there in advance and pretend to run into her.】
“Okay!” Zuo Bian put down her phone and finished the cold fried chicken.
