Chapter 49: Innocent Online Game Master (Part 25)

Even Tang Mo, who had no idea that she knew both masters, could tell that the main character was the blacksmith who had become popular recently.

Lin Xinxin, what a good ploy.

Almost instantly, Yu Chu understood what had happened. She drawled lazily, “Just let them be. How was the equipment I gave you previously? Do you need anything else?”

Tang Mo was about to have a heart attack.

He knew that his sister was the best blacksmith ‘Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow’ and had thought of asking her for equipment in the future. However, things were looking bad for her and he was more anxious than her! Why would she bother to ask him about his equipment now?

Tang Mo fumed in anger for some time before snapping coldly, “Alright, I wash my hands of you! You do whatever you like!”

He ended the call.

Yu Chu raised her eyebrows as she listened to him. Then she stretched her body sleepily. Fine. If he really could, then don’t bother.

On the other end, the boy pulled his hair vexedly after he hung up. He contacted his friend who majored in computer science. ‘How is it? Did you manage to check the IP address?’

His friend replied quickly. “I found it. That person is too careless and didn’t even change his or her account. The name of the account is Faraway Time. Do you know the player?’

Tang Mo was startled momentarily. Of course he did.

She was Lin Xinxin’s roommate…

…

Yu Chu had just gone online when she was flooded with countless notifications from her private chats. They were full of gossip, criticism, and other things. There was an ongoing hubhub on the forums too.

‘Magnified Sorrow’ typed, ‘How dare she deceive my revered Master S! Is she tired of living?’

‘Unfathomable Mystery’ commented, ‘Yeah! She is nuts! No wonder she has such excellent forging skills. The success rate is so low. How would she be able to do it without a trove of materials? She must have begged Master S to give them to her. Shameless!’

‘A Tree And Flower’ replied. ‘Agreed! Shameless woman! Our idol is so nice to help her and yet she is seducing someone else! Conniving! Sly b*tch!’

…

It was little wonder why a post would garner so much attention in one night. Other than the content and juicy gossip in the post, S’s popularity could not be underestimated. If his fans knew what he looked like, they might have charged into her place after digging up her address.

Yu Chu exited the forum and private chats. She clicked on her list of friends and saw a message. The other party sounded polite and courteous.

In the private chat, A Boat As Light As a Leaf asked, ‘Do you know who created the post? Do you need me to explain for you?’

Yu Chu couldn’t help but snort.

If he really wanted to help her, he would have done it on his own accord. He had waited for her response and she knew that he merely wanted her to owe him a favor. On the contrary, she decided against it.

In the private chat, Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow typed, ‘The truth will prevail. Let them say whatever they want.’

She sounded so nonchalant that Li Haorui was taken aback. A strange sensation coursed through his heart. He fell silent for a while. After the other party replied to him, she fell silent too.

This girl… had always been neutral to him. Regardless of whether Li Haorui was playing a game or in real life, he had never experienced such situations before. He felt perplexed and dejected.

He had been too used to receiving adoration and admiration. Despite his skills and status, she hadn’t idolized him. He could understand as she herself was also a highly skilled blacksmith.

What about reality? If she were to know what he looked like…

Li Haorui couldn’t help but mull it over.

Would she still be cold and nonchalant towards him?

He pressed his lips and a whim struck him.
