Chapter 1157: Low Emotional Intelligence

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

After all, the game was still a game. No matter how realistic the visuals were, there was still a voice that reminded you that it was virtual. This was just human instinct that was rooted deep in their subconscious – otherwise, the players would likely start becoming schizophrenic.

Although you could wear some fashionable clothing in the game, you weren’t able to achieve the same effect as you could in real life.

Water Fairy was wearing a short white coat with fluffy white fur at the collar, as well as white trousers and a pair of white boots on her feet. She was completely white from head to toe.

Her fashion in the game was almost mostly white; it seemed that this was her favorite color. Meanwhile, Lu Li’s clothing was closer to the rest of the people inside, who were wearing darker colors.

“I thought you weren’t coming,” Water Fairy said stood up from the sofa in the restaurant. Lu Li greeted her flatly but didn’t explain the reason for his late arrival.

In the eyes of the others, the leader of Ruling Sword was interacting with the leader of Peerless City. It was indeed a very business-like procedure.

Only the more sensitive people were able to discern that Water Fairy was giving off a slightly different air. The previous atmosphere that warned players against bothering her had completely dissipated.

Lu Li’s expression was even more difficult to decipher, but he demonstrated his attitude by chatting with Water Fairy alone while in public.

It was possible that there was truly something between these two now. Even Square Root 3 didn’t know if he should give his blessings or advise him to get out while he still could. Square Root 3 was getting older now and could be said to be quite well-informed. He had long since passed the age of innocence.

Finding a suitable partner was not only about family status and materialism, but also about values and living habits.

Lu Li and Water Fairy were so far apart even in those regards. One was once a poor person struggling to find a way to survive while the other was a lady of high status that had received an elite education. If Water Fairy brought up a luxury brand, it was likely to bewilder Lu Li. If Lu Li talked about fighting someone for a few dollars, he would be met with incomprehension from Water Fairy. Lu Li tried to make a bit of money in everything he did, even if he was fighting.

But now, they were talking about matters within the game.

It vaguely sounded like Lu Li had made a weapon for Water Fairy which she was very satisfied with. She even ran into Wood Fearing in the arena and managed to defeat him. At that time, Water Fairy’s smiles and laughter made her no different from an ordinary girl.

Square Root 3 suddenly decided not to bother with them. Funnily enough, he was taking care of the guild, but he was becoming more and more like an old mother. He even wanted to take care of his Boss’ emotional life.

Perhaps that was what other people did.

Lu Li did not expect Water Fairy to defeat Wood Fearing. If she had defeated Blood Dagger, Lu Li wouldn’t be surprised. Blood Dagger was strong in the beginning of the game, but would eventually be overtaken by Water Fairy. However, Wood Fearing was different. Lu Li had met so many Thieves, but none were like him – he really was like a block of wood in terms of his tenacity.

It could be said that Wood Fearing was Water Fairy’s nemesis.

This defeat actually seemed like quite a heavy blow to the veteran.

Most other people saw the professional circle as quite a glamorous thing to be a part of, especially since Dawn was so popular. However, this viewpoint neglected the sadness that most professional players had to face. After all, there could only be one player at the top spot.

After sighing deeply, Water Fairy finally complained, “You guys really are ruthless – I can’t believe this happened to Peerless City.”

Peerless City had developed beyond Water Fairy’s imagination in the recent years. Their population wasn’t worse than Drizzle Court’s guild numbers. She thought that even if Peerless City lost to Ruling Sword, it wouldn’t be by much. She didn’t expect these results. After two games, the outcome of the match had already been decided.

“If we didn’t go all out, we might have actually lost by a little bit,” Lu Li said fearfully.

He didn’t say anything more. He didn’t talk about how during the team round, he had told March Rain to use her crowd-control skill to interrupt their opponents. There were very view healers in the entire game who had crowd-control like that.

If March Rain didn’t use it, then she might have died earlier which would have allowed Peerless City to keep their healer. At that point, Lu Li wouldn’t be of much use.

“I really want to meet you in the finals, so I can beat you down,” Water Fairy said casually. If other players heard her say that, they would have thought she was spoiled. If Lu Li said anything to anyone else, she wouldn’t be too happy either.

“It’s not impossible. You have a pretty good chance of getting there,” Lu Li said as he smiled.

Drizzle Court’s opponent was Seventh Heaven. They had their first battle the day before yesterday in Jinling City and had won by exploiting a weakness. The day after tomorrow, they were travelling to Lingnan for the second game. The chances of winning this second game was not great, so the pressure was on Water Fairy.

“Hey, let’s not talk about this heavy topic. I have been to Jiangnan City a few times, but it’s always in passing. Since you live here, tell me what there is to do for fun.”

She had received an elite education from an early age. While others were still suffering to study for the college entrance examination, not only had she acquired a diploma of higher education, but she was even running the family business at home.

Jiangnan city was famous for its tourism, but she had come here often for business and it was always rushed.

Now that she had a falling with her father, who was trying to take things from her, the now unemployed Water Fairy had realized that she had missed out on a lot of things.

“Actually, I don’t really know much about this city,” Lu Li said calmly. “I lived in a relatively remote and backwards place for more than twenty years. People here call it the Common District that is west of the city. Recently, I have been busy playing games and never really got to visit anything.”

Square Root 3 leaned over while chatting casually with Soul Eater and listened to what the two were talking about. When he tuned in, he almost turned around to slap Lu Li. He shouldn’t have mentioned where he was born.

It was not a glamorous thing!

How could his emotional intelligence be so low that he didn’t know how to impress a girl by presenting the best side of himself? Water Fairy had just given him a chance to impress her, and all he needed to do was take her to a place where they could have a walk. Instead, Lu Li decided to tell her that he didn’t know the city very well.

However, what shocked Square Root 3 even more was Water Fairy’s reaction.

“The Common District ... I don’t think I’ve seen it before. How about you take me when you’re free?”

He had no choice but to conclude that perhaps he was just too old for this.
