Chapter 104: The Man Who Made Silver Wolf Feel Love and Hate

"Because of 100 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story

Silver Wolf sighed as she returned to her room. 

She threw herself onto the sofa, squeezing a soft plush toy with all her might. 

It was a limited edition Jimi plush toy that she had snatched up with great difficulty. Half her height and with an extraordinary level of softness, it felt like a giant marshmallow. 

But right now, even the plush toy's softness couldn't ease her frustration. 

"Damn it, I'll just have to play some games to vent," she muttered to herself. 

She considered playing the cartridge she had copied… 

No, not now. She was in a bad mood, and that would affect the rare experience of enjoying a good game. 

At times like this… she needed to challenge a friend! 

Winning a few matches and then rubbing it in would surely lift her spirits. 

Silver Wolf logged into the network and registered a new account. 

"Damn it, the account is gone, and so are my friends… but that guy should still recognize me." She mumbled as she sent a friend request to a certain account. 

The friend request was accepted almost instantly. 

The first message from the other side was… 

**[Intellect Player: F*ck you!]** 

"Pfft, this guy." Silver Wolf couldn't help but chuckle. 

She felt a bit of the frustration lift from her heart. 

**[Forced Termination: F*ck you!]** 

**[Intellect Player: You disappeared for a while, then I find out your account's been frozen, what's up with you, man?]** 

**[Forced Termination: You have the nerve to talk. You haven't been online for ages; I thought you were dead.]** 

**[Intellect Player: I was on vacation somewhere with a beautiful snowy landscape. Not everyone's like you, a gaming shut-in. I have a real life, you know.]** 

**[Forced Termination: You're the gaming shut-in. You wouldn't believe it, but someone just couldn't wait to take off my pants earlier—proof of my attractiveness.]** 

**[Intellect Player: That's just a plain pervert, man. You have the worst luck.]** 

**[Intellect Player: Can you get your account back?]** 

**[Forced Termination: I've decided to go to the company's headquarters. I'm sure if I explain myself sincerely, they'll understand.]** 

**[Intellect Player: Alright, good luck.]** 

**[Intellect Player: But whatever, no matter what account you use, I'll still beat you to a pulp.]** 

**[Forced Termination: As of now, I have 12,597 wins, and you have 12,585. Clearly, I'm far ahead.]** 

**[Intellect Player: Sorry, the number is too high; I can't count that far.]** 

**[Forced Termination: Pfft, you just don't want to accept reality.]** 

**[Intellect Player: Whatever, hurry up and start a match. I pick Zuli.]** 

**[Forced Termination: Then I choose Luke.]** 

And so, the intense battle began. 

A balanced fight that was exhilarating for both players, they were both fully focused, not daring to let down their guard for even a moment. 

Silver Wolf felt like she was more serious than when she was on a mission. 

In this state, you could hardly feel the passage of time. 

Several hours later, the Intellect Player won with a slight advantage. 

**[Intellect Player: What a joke, turns out you're just a small fry.]** 

**[Forced Termination: Damn it, if it weren't for that initial slip-up...]** 

**[Forced Termination: You just got lucky this time!]** 

**[Intellect Player: Heh... Just the whimper of a loser.]** 

Although she didn't achieve her goal of "winning and then gloating," Silver Wolf still felt quite pleased. 

"Phew... that was refreshing at least..." she stretched lazily. 

She looked at the screen displaying the avatar of the Intellect Player's account. 

It was just an ordinary wrench. 

With her skills, Silver Wolf could easily get all the information about him with a flick of her finger. 

But for some reason, she never did. 

Was it the friendship that had formed online? Or maybe respect for a fellow gamer? 

Silver Wolf herself wasn't sure, but she felt things were just fine as they were. 

"When I finish modifying the cartridge into a co-op mode, I'll invite him to play together..." she whispered to herself. 

Then, she noticed something. 

The wrench in the Intellect Player's avatar... 

"I feel like I've seen this wrench somewhere before..." Silver Wolf frowned. 

Weird, why would she have an impression of a wrench? 

She thought about it for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion. 

Shaking her head, she muttered, "Forget it, it's probably just my imagination." 

... 

... 

"Oh, by the way, I saved all those Silver Wolf bodies for you. You can still use them next time you log in," Herta said to Stelle. 

Stelle sighed, "What do I need so many Silver Wolfs for…? By the way, how did Gu Tang make Silver Wolf with just a hammer and wrench?" 

"I don't know, and I've given up trying to understand. You guys should learn from me—don't try to understand, just accept it," Herta said proudly, thumbing her chest. 

Then she rested her chin on her hand and began to think, "All those Silver Wolf bodies... Hmm, I have an idea. Maybe they could help with your testing." 

At that moment, Stelle's phone vibrated. 

She took it out and glanced at the message, raising her eyebrows, "Huh? It seems like Estelle has run into some trouble?" 

Herta impatiently waved her hand, "Then go help her. I'm going to be busy now, don't hang around here and bother me." 

Stelle: "So cold, just like Gu Tang is to you." 

Herta: "......" 

... 

... 

"Heh heh, another victory for me today," Gu Tang put down the controller and stretched his fingers. 

The person on the other side was his long-time friend from the network, whom he had met by various chances right after arriving in this universe. 

Since then, whenever there was a game that could be played online, they'd play it together. 

Unfortunately, both were socially awkward. Even after knowing each other for so long, they hadn't met in person. 

"But I feel like my trailblazing journey is slowly helping me overcome my social anxiety… Next time, I'll invite her for an offline game," Gu Tang resolved. 

Playing together in front of the same screen would definitely be more fun. 

"Come to think of it, this girl sure has some bad luck. Today, not only did she run into a pervert trying to pull her pants down, but her account also got frozen." Gu Tang mused, looking at the freshly registered account on his screen. 

Of course, for that reason, he had to defeat her with everything he had. 

To make her forget today's pain with the pain of losing. 

Gu Tang thought to himself that he was just too kind. 

A great sense of moral superiority should give him a thumbs up. 

------------------------------- 

Stelle found Estelle. 

"You're finally here…" Estelle's expression was a bit anxious. 

"Did something happen?" Stelle asked. 

"Alain is missing," Estelle got straight to the point. 

Stelle blinked, "This is such an important matter, why didn't you call Gu Tang?" 

"…I don't want Gu Tang to help me anymore. In fact, if he asked me for help, I would be happier—even if it was for money," Estelle frowned. 

"Sigh…" Stelle rubbed her temples in frustration. 

Both Herta and Estelle… Why were all the women at the space station so complicated?
