Chapter 848: Gu Pei Was Beaten

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi, who was watching the drama unfold in her Capital Drama University dormitory, fell silent when she saw Gu Pei’s reply under Gu Yang’s Weibo.

She did not expect to be slandered as a useless teammate.

Gu Pei was frantically shifting the blame, trying to pin it on his “pig teammate,” Qin Xian.

However, no matter how he tried to explain, fans and netizens kept bringing up what he had said in the game to drag him.

As Qin Xian was partly at fault, he could only stay quiet about Gu Pei pushing the blame.

Being the big brother, he had to give in to Brother Whale Explosion.

After Gu Pei publicly replied to Gu Yang on Weibo, he started poking her crazily on WeChat.

However, before Gu Yang could reply, he received a game invitation from Gu Jin.

It was a 1v1 PK.

Gu Pei was very surprised. After all, Gu Jin’s gaming skills were far superior to his. He rarely had the chance to play games with her, so he immediately accepted the invitation.

However, once the game started, he regretted it.

He had never seen Gu Jin play the game so ruthlessly. She didn’t push the tower; she just toyed with him, letting him die more than a hundred times in one round.

Towards the end, Gu Pei was already numb. He hung up and let Gu Jin kill him repeatedly.

Gu Pei: [Sister Jin, tell me, how did I offend you? I’ll change, alright?]

Gu Jin continued to torment him without responding.

Gu Pei could only guess: [Is this because of my sister? I really didn’t expect her to be my sister!]

[If I had known, I would have sold out Qin Xian, that stupid teammate, and helped my sister kill the monsters on the road. I would have let her push the tower!]

Gu Pei felt that, given his sister’s gaming skills, if there was no luck bonus, helping her was the only way she could win.

Of course, he couldn’t say that.

In Legend of Gods, level and ranking were not only evaluated by the number of victories but also by the number of deaths in the game.

Gu Pei could only watch helplessly as his game character was repeatedly beaten to death, his ranking plummeting out of the top 100. The abuse from Gu Jin nearly brought him to tears. He had worked tirelessly to climb the rankings!

“Big Sister, I really know my mistake!” Gu Pei pleaded for mercy.

After Gu Jin finished her onslaught, she toppled Gu Pei’s divine tower and scoffed before the game concluded: “Tsk, how lousy.”

Gu Pei fell silent.

But it didn’t end there. Gu Jin reported him, citing prolonged game process suspension.

The report succeeded, resulting in a three-day ban.

Gu Pei muttered to himself in frustration.

If he hadn’t been at fault, if only he could have defeated Gu Jin, he wouldn’t have taken this lying down!

Meanwhile, Qin Xian faced similar treatment from his boss, Gu Jin.

The difference was Qin Xian’s bewildered expression as he was defeated. He couldn’t fathom how he had offended his boss.

Being banned for three days and losing their rankings was one thing, but what truly saddened Gu Pei and Qin Xian was the glitch in the game system that erased all their game skins.

As for Feng Jue, he quietly safeguarded his achievements and reputation.

The twilight enveloped every direction, and the moon cast its boundless glow.

Feng Jue drove Gu Yang to the dormitory building.

He gently kissed Gu Yang’s forehead, his eyes shimmering in the moonlight. “Sister, get some rest.”

Ignoring the old man, Cao Cuo, seemed like the best course of action.

Gu Yang nodded. “You too.”

After Gu Yang exited the car, Feng Jue remained seated inside. He watched her silhouette vanish from his view, reappearing as she walked down the corridor to the sixth floor and disappeared into the dormitory.
