Chapter 1641: Chapter 702: Big Sister in Black Silk_2

Lin Xue stood up satisfied, heading towards the front desk.

A moment later, she returned without Game Coins, but with a small plastic bucket.

Lin Xue tossed the bucket onto the table, and it jingled with at least seven or eight hundred Game Coins.

The young boy’s eyes widened in amazement. Usually, children who came to the arcade were spending their pocket money, carefully budgeting with one coin at a time. Who could buy them by the bucketful? Was this the legendary way of the wealthy?

"Come on, ten chances. As long as you beat me once, I’ll let you play to your heart’s content." Lin Xue sat down and inserted ten coins into each machine, pressing the battle button.

Seeing the game start, the young boy hastily returned to his seat, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to show off his true skills to the wealthy sister.

...

Ten minutes later, the young boy incredulously stared at the darkened screen. It was his tenth loss. Ten rounds, and he lost ten to zero.

Except for the first round where Lin Xue, unfamiliar with the mechanics, struggled a bit, in every other round, she defeated him in less than half a minute, and it only got quicker.

The young boy wore a bewildered expression.

"How is this possible... You must play a lot!" the boy declared to Lin Xue: "I’ve never seen a girl so good at games..."

"Better than your friend ’Xiao Hui’?" Lin Xue asked with interest.

"You... You know Xiao Hui?" the boy was surprised, his eyes shifting nervously.

Lin Xue didn’t press further but glanced around at the undispersed dream realm.

"Now, tell me, what other wishes do you have?"

"Well... could I have ten more chances?" the boy asked cautiously.

But Lin Xue shook her head: "I can keep playing with you, even a hundred or a thousand rounds, but if you keep hiding here, the person you really want to meet will never appear."

Lin Xue had the Mind Reading Technique, making it much easier for her to understand a dream realm, allowing her to easily see the deeper logic beneath the surface.

In just a few minutes of interaction with little Mu You, she’d already discerned the boy’s true desire: he liked a girl named Xiao Hui, the class belle, whose family seemed to run an arcade, thus she was particularly good at games.

At this age, children don’t have much notion of confessing, purely thinking of hiding away to hone their game skills, hoping to impress the girl they liked, nothing more.

The young boy was stunned, a bit confused: "Sister, what are you talking about? I don’t understand..."

Lin Xue shook her head, continuing to advise: "If you like her, just say it directly. Who knows, it might work wonders."

The boy fell into silence, pondering something.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Pixel monsters began pouring in from the arcade’s main entrance. The once lively hall suddenly descended into chaos, with people screaming and scattering in all directions, many falling prey to the monsters.

"Oh no, run!"

The scene change was abrupt, startling the young boy. He instinctively grabbed his backpack and headed for the back door, but not before pulling Lin Xue along.

Lin Xue was pulled by little Mu You, rushing towards the back door with the crowd but with a smile on her face: That’s more like it!

The dream scene began to collapse, indicating that he was finally confronting his inner self.

These monsters represented the obstacles he faced in pursuing the girl, transforming the usual arcade struggles of youth into the tale of a brave hero overcoming a myriad of monsters to reach the Demon King’s castle to rescue the beloved princess. This made it much easier to understand and more manageable for Lin Xue.

Otherwise, she would have had to teach the young boy about adolescent emotions and how to chase after girls, which was too complicated. After all, she hadn’t dated anyone herself, so how could she teach anyone else?

Little Mu You pulled Lin Xue out of the arcade, onto the street.

Under the night sky, the street was now also filled with various gigantic pixel monsters, roaring as they chased after people.

Lin Xue glanced around, recognizing that most of the monsters were from arcade games, fitting the ’arcade’ theme, though there were some personal additions like letter beasts, homework beasts, and protractor beasts...

Many monsters started chasing after the two of them, and the young boy dragged Lin Xue, running madly in one direction.

This little detail pleased Lin Xue: Even in such a tense moment, the young boy didn’t think of abandoning her to escape alone.

If she guessed correctly, the direction the boy was leading them would end at the location of the girl he ’secretly admired’.

Next, she only needed to escort the young boy to the girl’s side and create an opportunity for a ’heroic rescue’, and this dream should be concluded.

Seeing the path ahead blocked by a few monsters, Lin Xue stopped hiding and directly manifested the Reaper’s Scythe, jumping in front to lead the way. With her scythe swinging, she mowed down the monsters along the path as if cutting vegetables.

The young boy unusually didn’t react as ordinary children would, with exaggerated surprise, but merely followed quietly, though Lin Xue could feel the intense gaze from behind her.

Without turning back, she could guess that the boy was currently looking at her with a mixture of amazement and admiration...

Lin Xue had to admit it felt good; in reality, Mu You always had an edge over her, giving her a sense of powerlessness that no matter how hard she tried, she could never catch up. Now, she finally had a chance to be admired by him, a rare opportunity, and Lin Xue couldn’t help but savor that gaze from behind.
