Chapter 194 - 4.20

The current Xu Jiaqi had never experienced the actual torture of that day, but this body had already gotten so accustomed and in line with the events of those days that it automatically tries to push it away.

If this was the case, then actually trying to take steps back into the music world might require some extensive efforts. Just brute force wouldn't solve it. It would mean nothing. Even if she tried to force herself and play the instruments, there was no way that she wouldn't falter and break down one day.

Before that could happen.. She wanted to look for a way to actually resolve the issue and not just play silly and act as if nothing was wrong.

Big Brother is Angry!: Goddess, you look like a ghost is chasing you down

Big Brother is Angry!: I'm sorry for wanting an encore.. It's completely up to you!

Big Brother is Angry!: Ah, right. Spending money, Goddess! Spend money and you will feel better, right? Let's spend some money! Treat brother Butters today!

Butters Don't Fly: What?? Why me? Also, you're so insensitive.

Big Brother is Angry!: I had my fill yesterday! I'm an avid believer of equality, so we shall spread the wealth!                         

"Finally, it has returned to this topic. Now.. How do you two think we should spend proudly upon? Do you guys have some brilliant ideas we could take a look at?" Xu Jiaqi was very professional as she kept her confident smile even in the midst of coping with her body's rejection effects.

Big Brother is Angry!: What about.. Ah, how about this, Goddess? Let's play Archaen's Light! I've been meaning to ask you this, heheheh

"Hmm... Shall we?" Xu Jiaqi tilted her head, opening up the interface of the game. The creator of it, Ecinos Corporation's name, was displayed on the front screen. It was the same logo she had seen be advertised on Heaven's Chaos' website before.

BIg Brother is Angry!: We totally should! I will present Aphtalia's skin in front of you lololol

BIg Brother is Angry!: Butters, you should join too! The three of us can grovel in front of the Goddess and let her use us as she smurfs through the game!

BIg Brother is Angry!: I'm sure that Your Majesty will be a genius in games as well lolol

Butters Don't Fly: Hey, don't just suddenly include me in this!

Butters Don't Fly: Although, joining doesn't sound too bad. I'm free, so we can play if the streamer wants it. What do you think?

"We should try it out, but this is going to be the first time I am going to touch the game at all. Bear with me if I'm a bit less skillful.. I doubt that such a thing would happen, though. If even Brother Angry could excel in this game, then I should be able to breeze through it easily, right?" Xu Jiaqi teased.

BIg Brother is Angry!: Hey, hey, hey!! What's with the sudden jab from behind? That's unfair!! Totally unfair!

Butters Don't Fly: I.. actually agree with that! Dear lord, if even Brother Angry could play, who can't?

The three ended up logging in and forming a party inside the game. They discussed what boss should they beat down all while the stream was running.

Also, they decided to all get on a call to further better their communications. It was their first time hearing each other's voices, so it was a novel experience. Feng Qin and Tang Yixiu were acquaintances, but they haven't done this type of thing yet.

At first, it was awkward, but they quickly warmed up against each other once they interacted enough. They decided on a boss that could be entered by people regardless of their levels to accommodate for Xu Jiaqi.

"Alright, let's go beat this guy up!" Feng Qin was fired up. He was the party leader for various reasons, so he pressed the start button with enthusiasm and entered all three of them into the loading screen, where they were each given a token to challenge the boss.

Feng Qin was actually under the impression that since this was the first time Xu Jiaqi would be playing, she wouldn't bade too well and would die a couple times, so he prepared a ton of resurrection items and packed it inside his bag.

The game loaded, and the fight began with each of their characters spewing out attacks at the boss.

Contrary to Feng Qin's anticipation, Xu Jiaqi was doing extremely well. Her reflexes and reaction time, even by just simply looking at how she was moving using a low level character, made it impossible to hide her pure skill that shone through the battle.

They brought down the boss' health to almost half, and had a lot of fun conversing with each other. Feng Qin kept on cursing as he narrowly dodged the boss' skills, Xu Jiaqi treated the boss as a training dummy to test out her skills and dodge well, whereas Tang Yixiu had a wide smile on his face as he hacked the boss and lowered his health bar, chopping at it incessantly.

Suddenly, there was a knock at his door.

"Tang Yixiu, you are having so much fun. What are you watching?" Tang Yizhou felt extremely bad at how he acted towards his younger brother, so he sought the other party out. When he stood in front of the younger's room, he could hear mixed voices of three people since Tang Yixiu hadn't worn headphones to isolate the voices.

Tang Yixiu's voice seemed to contain so much joy that he wanted to see for himself what the cause was.

"..Brother? Ah, please do enter!" Tang Yixiu was playing an important role in the team, he was the main damage dealer. Feng Qin decided to play the healer because he was prepared to assist Xu Jiaqi, so his damage wouldn't be that great. Whereas Xu Jiaqi was a controller character, and her skills served to hinder the enemy from fighting back.

Tang Yixiu being distracted would cost them severe changes for sure.

However, in face of his brother, how could he not stop midway and pay attention to the other party?
