Chapter 445: Chapter 155: Little Gwen, Pecking at You~!_1

The night was deep.

He Xi was still battling it out in front of his computer.

Liu Feng climbed down from the bunk below to make a trip to the bathroom.

After returning, he went again before long.

By the third return, Liu Feng’s legs were already trembling, and he sat down next to He Xi with a slight sigh.

"Xi, what do you think is the real meaning of life?"

As He Xi manipulated his computer, swiftly D-ing cards to find the right Chess pieces, he answered without looking back, "The meaning of life is to guide the catheter, and then to ask your roommate what the meaning of life really is."

"Ah," Liu Feng sighed again at these words, "I didn’t want to, but this manufacturer is just too good, you know? They just inexplicably hit your G-spot."

"Think about it, when you’re both thrilled and excited, what would you do?"

"I’d play Cloud Top."

"No, I mean, aside from playing games."

"I’d go look up Cloud Top strategies."

"...No wonder you can’t find a girlfriend..." Liu Feng hadn’t finished his sentence when he heard a sweet female voice coming through He Xi’s headphones.

"Huh? Brother Xi, why haven’t you spoken for so long? How should I play this round? I already have 7 Ekkos on the field, do I still need to D?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng and He Xi exchanged glances.

The entire dorm suddenly became quiet.

Only the even snoring sounds of the other roommates remained.

"Just met her, I was teaching her chess, and she insisted on adding me as a friend to queue for duo," He Xi said after a moment of silence, spreading his hands, "This sister seems to be in our city, a piano teacher. She was asking if I was free to have a meal with her next week, I’m still considering."

Liu Feng immediately gritted his teeth and grabbed He Xi’s neck, "Damn it, Xi, you really deserve to die!"

He Xi gently brushed Liu Feng’s hand away, his face calm as he said, "I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush, listen to me, go play a game of Cloud Top, you can even play it on your phone. The server just started not long ago, there are many girls playing but most are noobs. I’ll teach you a few powerful line-ups hands-on, and use them to flirt with girls, easy peasy."

"Heh, not even dogs would play that. This game even wanted to contend with ’Bursting Cuteness’ yesterday, and here I am laughing and joking with my loyal Silver Brilliance?"

"Alright then, whatever you say." He Xi put his headphones back on, cleared his throat, and pretended to be an innocent young boy, "Don’t rush, Quan, listen to my commands, first do this..."

Liu Feng, watching the affectionate backs of the two, suddenly swore under his breath, "Damn, remote control too..."

But damn, I’m really envious!

I mean, who doesn’t want to remotely control a girl?

Shaking his head to rid it of distracting thoughts, Liu Feng resolutely sat on He Xi’s bed, leaned against the wall, and took out his phone to start swiping at the screen.

About half an hour later.

As it was getting late, the sister went to sleep, and He Xi was preparing to stay up all night to climb ranks.

I heard that in the first season of Cloud Top, if you make it into the top 2000, you can get a chance to obtain the season-limited official figurines of these Chess pieces; the temptation was quite significant.

Suddenly, the roommate behind him cursed, "Damn it! Didn’t I win this round? Why the hell not?"

Turning his head to look again, Liu Feng saw a face filled with grief and indignation, his phone screen reflecting on his uneven face, making it look particularly frightening.

"What happened?"

"Damn it! I think I’ve figured out the crappy mechanics of this idiotic game!" said Liu Feng, clenching his fists, "Once you finally advance a couple of rankings, they necessarily pair you with a tycoon to knock you down."

"And sometimes the tycoon you run into isn’t so hopelessly strong, just a little bit short, and on top of that, they keep sending emojis and typing messages to taunt you, making you so mad that you easily get carried away and start spending money right there."

"If you spend money, couldn’t you just beat him?" He Xi replied nonchalantly.

"Heh, naive." Liu Feng ground his teeth, "You win this one round with money, and in the next two matches, you’ll get hammered by a new tycoon! His Chess piece’s portrait looks better than yours, his skills are more awesome, and his taunting tone is enough to max out your blood pressure, drawing you into a vicious cycle."

"Then don’t play,"

"Sigh... I’ve already sunk costs into it, and it’s a bit hard to let go just like that."

"My advice still stands, play Cloud Top. Cloud Top doesn’t have all that nonsense, and you can play without spending a penny."

"I won’t play, won’t play! That rubbish game, just looking at it doesn’t seem fun." Liu Feng firmly rejected it.

Seeing that He Xi ignored him and turned back to his Cloud Top game,

With nothing better to do, and with the anger from being thwarted in ’Bursting Cuteness’ needing a release,

Liu Feng sat behind He Xi and glanced at the game screen idly.

The more he watched,

The more he began to doubt.

Was this game really that fun?

The skills aren’t that cool.

The Chess pieces are modeled so small, who can even see them clearly?

And doesn’t your Chess piece lack voice lines when it uses skills?

Don’t they know to bring in a couple of cute-voiced girls to attract an audience?

No wonder the first-day’s revenue was nearly three times less than that of ’Bursting Cuteness’.

Even with high popularity, so what?

Without anything to really attract the tycoons’ spending, who’s going to pay for your servers?

And if you look closely, you’ll see that the battlefield is a chaotic mess during combat, it’s really unclear...

"Oh shoot, are you going to lose?" As he watched, Liu Feng suddenly realized He Xi was at a disadvantage.

As his own roommate and good buddy, whether the game was fun or not was one thing, but it was another when a good buddy was in trouble – that still warranted a bit of concern.
