In Zheng Xiaoguang's eyes, there were many different kinds of annoying people in the world, such as those players who kept killing other players at PVP regions every day, those who snatched monsters from the others' hands, account stealers, etc. The people she hated most were those who did a bad thing and wanted to let some others hold the bag.
Unfortunately, she met them in the game.
The Internet had been down for a whole day, and Zheng Xiaoguang did not like an Internet Cafe. Given this, she could only log into her game account at night. When she was pleasantly surprised to see that Bluegreen-Clad had gained levels for her last night and her account was level 90 now, she received a message from him.
[Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: Honey, withdraw from the Matchless and join the League of Strong Families.
[Private Chat] Flowing Light: Ah, why?
[Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad: Some members of the League of Strong Families said that you deliberately pulled a Map Boss to frame them.
"Someone accused me of pulling a Map Boss to frame them? It must be Baby520 and her teammates. They're so shameless. Alright, I just need to tell everyone the truth. Do they think that I'll fear them?"
With this in mind, Zheng Xiaoguang sent her female doctor Flowing Light back to the base of the Matchless. She used her gang contribution, which she had accumulated by gaining levels during the past two days, to redeem healing and some protective gang skills. After that, she greeted Blooming Pear Tree and said that she would take a trip to the League of Strong Families and come back after a while.
Game Message: Level 100 Floating Cloud Island Disciple Bluegreen-Clad invites you to join his big family "League of Strong Families" Please choose whether to accept his invitation: Yes/No.
Zheng Xiaoguang clicked "Yes".
[Gang] Flowing Light has received gang boss Bluegreen-Clad's invitation to join the gang.
Zheng Xiaoguang thought that she would be greeted with lots of criticism from members of the League of Strong Families after she joined them, but actually, she was greeted by an awkward silence. In the end, she had to greet them first embarrassedly.
[Gang] Flowing Light: Hi~everyone. I'm Flowing Light.
Some gang members greeted her cordially and said welcome to her, some started to call her gang boss's wife, and then some started to complain.
[Gang] Little Girl: Hmph, you pulled a Map Boss to frame our gang members. How dare you come here?
"Well, let me see what you're going to say," Zheng Xiaoguang thought peacefully.
Flowing Light: Oh? I'm sorry. I don't think I know you. Did you see me pull a Map Boss to frame someone? Or, did you just hear this from someone else? [Smile]
Little Girl: I saw it! I teamed up with Venus and gained levels at a level 90 region. When everything was going smoothly for us, you pulled a Map Boss to frame our team because you hate our teammate Baby520. All of us got slain there.
Flowing Light: So did you see me pull that Map Boss all the way to your team?
Little Girl: No. But you deliberately pulled that Map Boss all the way to Baby when she was busying pulling monsters around. You kept snatching monsters from Baby's hands, and time was pressing for us. Otherwise, she would've never accidentally pulled that Map Boss. You think that your husband is our gang boss, so you can do anything you want to us. You robbed Baby of her monsters and framed us just to get back at Baby!
Flowing Light: I can't agree with you. Firstly, you never saw with your own eyes that it was me who pulled a Map Boss to frame your team. Your team was actually slain by a Map Boss pulled by Baby520. Secondly and more importantly, you said that I snatched monsters from Baby's hands and pulled a Map Boss all the way to her because I wanted to get back at her. If this was true, then it was just between Baby and me. Why did you say that I framed your team?
Venus Will Cry: [Touch Head] Little Girl, I told you not to say anything about it. Flowing Light was once killed by Baby. It's natural that she wants to get back at Baby. She robbed Baby of her monsters and pulled a Map Boss to frame her. You think it's wrong, but she did it for a reason. It's forgivable. Besides, she didn't have a reason to give the other members of our team a hard time. We were slain by that Map Boss because our equipment was not good enough and also because of me. I'm the doctor of the team and I died too early.
Zheng Xiaoguang frowned slightly and thought, "This Venus Will Cry seems to be comforting Little Girl, but what she said seems to mean something else." Just as she expected, Little Girl got even more furious.
Little Girl: Venus, how can I blame you for this?! I knew that Bady has offended her, but gang boss has already killed Baby once for her. Baby promised that she would never kill her in the future. How can she be so bossy? Baby was already kicked out of our gang. Does she think that it's not enough and still want to stop her from gaining levels? It's just a game. How can she be so mean? Hmph, Flowing Light from the Matchless, ask gang boss to kick me out if you dare. I'm not afraid of you! I'll go to the Public Chat channel to expose you later!
"Wait a minute, it's not my decision to kick Baby520 out of the gang. Your gang boss did that. I was indeed impressed by him back then, but how can you blame me for that? Well, I was the cause, Little Girl is not all wrong to blame me for that," thought Zheng Xiaoguang.
Flowing Light: Sister Little Girl, I really appreciate your loyalty to your teammates, but I can't stand watching you being used by others. In fact, it was not me robbing Baby of her monsters. It was her robbing me of my monsters. Because of that, she pulled that Map Boss I accidentally irritated. I don't know why she lied to such a loyal friend like you. I think you'd better not make friend with liars.
Zheng Xiaoguang's words sparked a heated discussion in the chat group of the League of Strong Families.
Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: I'm totally confused. Is there some sort of misunderstanding?
Nine-Tailed Red Fox: I'm just a melon-eating on-looker, who don't know what's really going on, just a passer-by~
Little Girl: Stop deceiving peopling with fair words. Baby never lies to me. You're the one who's lying to us all!
Flowing Light: You didn't see me frame you guys. How can you be so sure?
Venus Will Cry: Flowing Light, we didn't see you frame us, but Baby is our good friend. She never lies to us. I know she has offended you and refused to apologize to you before. She's just a little stubborn. I hereby apologize to you on her behalf. Now you're our gang boss' wife. Please forgive Baby and let her off. We'll appreciate your generosity.
"Whew, do you want to make me reconcile with you guys and admit that I did frame you? If I do what you say, no one will think that I'm really generous," thought Zheng Xiaoguang.
Venus' words weakened the gang members' confidence in Flowing Light.
Flowing Light: [Smile] Sigh, what can I do? I take this really seriously. As you don't believe my words, I can show you some screenshots I took at that time. Do you have a QQ group? Can anyone tell me your gang's QQ group number? I'll send them to you.
Li Lei: 82765****, you apply to join us now. I'll add you in.
Flowing Light: Thanks. I'll apply to join you right now.
Zheng Xiaoguang swiftly switched to her QQ and opened the group-search window. When she was entering the QQ group number into the search box, Little Girl, who had remained silent all this while, spoke again.
Little Girl: Hmph, do you think that you're the only one who took screenshots at that time? I took screenshots too. We continued to gain levels after gang boss' battle against Sared Temple, and this Flowing Light came to our region to pull monsters again. I had all the screenshots. Let's see how you can deny.
Note:
①Take a Trip: When a player of a gang takes a trip to another gang, he or she quits his or her own gang to join another gang for a few days. After chatting with the members of the other gang and learning some skills from them, the player will return to his or her own gang.
