Gamers Gossip Too

Yu Xuejiao intently watched the match.

'Isn't that the cockroach Shama—okay, that's so disrespectful. She's cool, and now beating the crap out of that fool.'

She leaned against her chair and raised her feet to rest on the edge of her seat.

'Aiyo, I wonder what he did to cause a falling out? But at least Preceding Summer girlie didn't stay blind as long as Jade.'

Yu Xuejiao grabbed onto the corner of her table and pulled herself closer to the desktop.

Having miscalculated the force she used, her calves bumped into the table.

"ACK?" Her eyes immediately turned teary. What an idiot.

She reached for her mouse and manipulated the arrow to pull the tab from the top to halfway the screen.

Watching them fight like this made her feel like she was watching an anime with live comments.

Unlike earlier, the enthusiasm had died down a little, so there wasn't much spam in the world chat anymore.

After all, it cost money to send a message, and F2P players could only send one free Global Message a day.

[World] Urine Shower: Chestnut is a dumb*ss for chasing this guy. Overkill.

[World] Blooming Bluebells: He's got more money than sense.

[World] Strawberry Stars: Chestnut, if you're looking for a sugar baby, I can **** **** ****.

[World] Die Under Peonies: Chestnut, don't just settle for one. I can be your Sugar Baby too.

Seeing that the topic had somehow shifted to her, Yu Xuejiao rolled her eyes. Did they have a misconception about her? Was she someone who would just—

To be fair, she did flirt a lot.

She participated in the chat.

[World] Chestnut: Am I really that charming? The show is right in front of you, but you're still talking about me.

"Can you be any more shameless?" asked Moon Lamp, who had somehow gotten near them god knows when.

"Hm? But I'm quite handsome, don't you think?" Yu Xuejiao replied, once again deepening your voice.

She received a private message not long after. Unexpectedly, it was from Blood Jade.

[Hey, where did you download the voice changer? To be honest, it's really my type.]

"..." Yu Xuejiao was speechless.

How should she explain that she had the voice changer customized to make her sound like her brother, Yu Chengli?

[It's a secret, dear.]

Obviously, she wouldn't expose herself.

"Tsk, tsk. Protective Spear really lost, huh?" Moon Lamp's judgemental voice sounded. "Against a Healer character. Really?"

Yu Xuejiao smirked, agreeing to Moon Lamp's words. "Cut him some slack. He's a Brawler class, after all. Not everyone is as good as me," she arrogantly bragged.

"With Mommy and Daddy's money—" Moon Lamp randomly retorted.

"—Hey, where did that come from!?" And Yu Xuejiao cut it off.

"Dunno. But it annoys you."

"..." It was right.

With the silence lasting for more than a second, Yu Xuejiao's.mind drifted to another thought.

After a few more seconds, Moon Lamp spoke as a follow up, "Speechless?"

"Nah. I was just wondering why he suddenly used Bloodied Might. At his level, 35% increase in ATK for around five seconds is good, but it reduces his HP by 10% of his max HP. He only had about 15% left. What a dumbass. He was barely able to land an attack on Preceding Summer throughout the entire duel, and to beat her, he had to land three hits. What made him think he could do that within five seconds? He basically dug a grave for himself." Yu Xuejiao subconsciously rambled. "Tsk. Tsk. I wasn't expecting anything from him but holy sh*t."

"Nerd," Moon Lamp said.

"Unlike you, I have a brain to use," Yu Xuejiao quickly retorted.

"Bully!"

"Stop fighting. You two gossip mongers, check out the World Chat. Everyone's talking about him. That should shut you up." Blood Jade had just turned her mic on.

[World] Rice Lover: Tsk. Tsk. A Level 80 Brawler can't even defeat a Healer? It's a Shaman, bro. They're like glass!

[World] Underground Dragon: LMAO. What do you expect from a leech?

[World] Bluebells in Bloom: Blood Jade is too kind.

[World] Monkey Steals Peach: It's alright, Chestnut is evil.

[World] Rice Lover: I saw him chase after Protective Spear last week. But I think her PC lagged, so dude managed to run away.

Reading that, Yu Xuejiao's heart beat wildly. She didn't notice anyone at all!

[World] Rice Lover: Guess what I heard?

Multiple people urged Rice Lover to stop being a ***** and to just reveal it already.

[World] Moon Lamp: If you're afraid to send it here, you can send me a private message.

"Really, Moon?" Yu Xuejiao sarcastically asked.

"What? A gossip is a gossip. I can't miss any."

"Maybe it's about the weird side of the internet that Spear talked about… pfft—"

Yu Xuejiao could tell that Jade had a hard time composing herself before saying that. Her voice was shaky.

[World] Chestnut: Rice Lover, if you say anything I don't like, you'll know who's my next target.

[World] Chestnut: Someone said I had more money than sense. He's right.

[World] Rice Lover: Sorry, guys. The god has spoken.

Following that was a bunch of complaints.

"Damn. Why is everyone so nosy?" Yu Xuejiao complained.

"Well, who told you to be high profile? Of course everyone is going to talk about you, dumbass," Moon Lamp replied.

Blood Jade also chuckled. "That's hypocrisy, Chestnut. You're also nosy. Also, you really should try to be lowkey."

Yu Xuejiao received another message. Upon checking it, it was Blood Jade who had sent the message.

[Otherwise, you might accidentally reveal your real gender someday, and the server will crash.]

Well, it wasn't impossible that she'd be exposed. But it wouldn't be that exaggerated.

At this moment, Protective Spear's character disappeared from her screen.

Looking at the world chat, a friend of his—ex-friend, rather, announced that Protective Spear was unable to bear the insults and logged out.

As a result, more insults poured in.

[World] Underground Dragon: That's right everyone. Make sure that he's forever the topic, so.he doesn't ever log back on.

[World] Underground Dragon: Stop when you're broke. Once he pops up again, update the whole world so we can continue dissing him.

Yu Xuejiao stared at this Underground Dragon guy. Once she meets him, she must add him as a friend and invite him to the guild.

She stopped reading the World Chat and pulled the tab up.

From the corner of her screen, she saw Preceding Summer walking away.

Last time, she killed her without a rational reason. The least she could do was apologize. Maybe she should also add compensation while she was at it.

Without a second thought, she made her character run after the Shaman.
