However, the beast collapsed after the slash.

Yu Chu was stunned.

This type of beast wouldn’t be so easily defeated. She clicked on her bag using her mouse as she studied the additional items inside it. When a beast died, it would leave many items to be looted by players. A wild one like the one she had just killed would automatically leave all the items to the final player who had killed it.

She, as the final player, had been the one to kill it, without a doubt. Hence, all the items belonged to her now.

Perhaps it was because of the system’s help. The beast’s skin that had been left to her, was coincidentally what Yu Chu needed the most. It was suitable to developing her forging skills.

Her eyes swept past the dead beast and she frowned slightly. A moment later, someone hurled criticism at her on the screen.

‘Faraway Time’ had typed, ‘I have never seen someone as shameless as you. Others have been trying so hard to kill the beast and you have the audacity to appear at the last minute to kill it? You took all the loot! ‘Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow’, return everything to us!’

Yu Chu frowned.

She hadn’t noticed that the beast was dying. But that would explain why it had been so easy for her to slay it. It turned out that others had been attacking it and that she had merely dealt the final blow.

Yu Chu knew that she was in the wrong and didn’t bother to defend herself. She wanted to return the items to them. She had just moved the cursor over to her bag when someone left a comment on the screen.

‘Hera’s Apple’ commented, ‘It’s fine. She didn’t do it deliberately. Don’t be so harsh to her. Just ask her to return the items.’

Yu Chu’s fingers halted.

Hera’s Apple was Lin Xinxin…

Then in that case, Faraway Time had to be Lin Xinxin’s good friend, Li Rong.

The proprietor, Li Rong and Lin Xinxin lived in the same dormitory but they weren’t on good terms.

Li Rong was arrogant and although Lin Xinxin always appeared to be kind and pure, deep down she had hidden her sense of superiority. She felt that it was beneath her dignity to be friends with a girl like the proprietor. Yu Chu stroked her chin thoughtfully. To think that she would have an encounter like this with Lin Xinxin.

Since Lin Xinxin had been willing to play an innocent and kind girl, Yu Chu naturally played along.

‘Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow’ replied, ‘Yeah. Why are you chiding me? I didn’t do it deliberately.’

Lin Xinxin hadn’t expected that she would reply that way and she fell silent. Li Rong exploded on the other hand.

‘Faraway Time’ typed angrily, ‘What do you mean? You stole our items and now you refuse to let us lecture you? Ha! Let me tell you this. You better be wise and hand over the items. Don’t blame me for not warning you. Do you have any idea who Hera’s Apple’s master is?’

Yu Chu raised her eyebrows slightly in response.

She reckoned that A Boat As Light As a Leaf hadn’t allowed Lin Xinxin to announce his name.

However, she deduced that Lin Xinxin would have told her friend, Li Rong. But due to her pride, she didn’t tell her that the other party hadn’t acknowledged their relationship yet.

Yu Chu blinked but she didn’t reply. Instead, she saw Hera’s Apple hurriedly explain,

‘Hera’s Apple’ replied, ‘Alright. Don’t put it that way. Just get her to return the items.’

Pfft.

Lin Xinxin had tried to brush the topic aside but Yu Chu wouldn’t let her.

‘Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow’ asked, ‘Who is her master?’
