Chapter 38: Innocent Online Game Master (Part 14)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
‘S’ asked, ‘What is going on?’
His message was curt and they could feel how calm and stoic he was. Silence hung over the game. No one would have expected that the cold and indifferent Master would initiate a question. After all, his aloofness was well-known.
There were specific forums established for players to post their photos. Once, a player who had posted her photo was labeled as a goddess. She then tried bashfully to chat with Master. In the end, Master raised his sword.
And he added curtly, ‘Noisy.’
Even a beautiful female player like her couldn’t stir his protective feelings for the fairer sex. Other girls who witnessed it were left astounded and one by one, their hearts raced as they couldn’t help but blush.
Sometimes it couldn’t be helped that such heartless and unreasonable behavior would jab a young girl’s heart.
Of course, some suspected that S was a girl since he had been indifferent to beautiful girls. After all, S never participated in events nor did he reveal his photos. No one knew how he looked.
Master’s question and calm manner left the two girls blushing shyly. Lin Xinxin gazed at the words on the screen. He had spoken up after she commented. He had ignored Li Rong when she had asked him a question. Would that imply that he… She couldn’t help but cover her warm, flushed cheeks.
Before Li Rong could respond, she explained the situation to S.
‘Hera’s Apple’ typed, “This is what happened. I was chasing the beast with Faraway Time just now. It was wounded and dying when the other party struck the final blow. Hence, all the items fell into her arms.’
She paused and pressed her lips together. Sounding kind and innocent, she pressed on.
‘Hera’s Apple’ typed, ‘But I don’t think she did it deliberately. She might not have noticed that it was dying.’
After she finished, she stared at the screen.
Seconds later, Master spoke up once more.
‘S’ typed, ‘Return it to her.’
Without a doubt, he was directing it to Yu Chu.
Lin Xinxin, Li Rong, and even Yu Chu were dumbfounded when they read the concise command. Lin Xinxin widened her eyes and her heart could barely contain the surging surprise and delight. It was obvious that S was protecting her. He had typed ‘her’.
Not ‘them’.
Lin Xinxin’s eyes sparkled excitedly.
That was S! No matter what, he had been so protective of her and it was enough for any girl to fantasize over. If she could take a screenshot and post it to the forums, it was bound to be the envy of many. And if only she could add him as her friend…
The more she contemplated, the more excited she got.
When Li Rong read his reply on the screen, the first thought that came to her mind was that the Master had fallen for Lin Xinxin. Jealousy erupted beyond control in her heart at how lucky her roommate was. She bit her lips as her face contorted in fury.
As for Yu Chu…
She was certainly livid.
This fellow, Feng Qing, had always been practically glued to her in the previous world. Yet now… he had gone overboard.
She snorted softly and tapped on her bag. She threw the items out of the bag.
The legendary warrior moved suddenly.
As he walked towards her, a message popped out with no hint of any emotion.
‘S’ typed, ‘This beast’s level is too low.’
He paused before typing again,
S typed, ‘I’ll help you get to higher levels.’
