Ji Yunting watches Succubus slowly disappear into a purple light as if he’s in a dream . Then a glowing treasure box shows up at the place where she vanishes .
This, this is it?
Ah Zhao reaches out for the box happily . She puts her hand on the box but doesn’t open it . Then she turns to Ji Yunting and asks: “You've said you need materials from Succubus for your weapon . What do you need?”
She looks so at ease as if she's sure this box can give him whatever he asks for .
Ji Yunting suddenly has a strange feeling . Perhaps, she can really do that .
He says: “I can manage to get other materials . But there’s one material, Feather of Aurora which can only be seen in this instance . I need at least ten of that . In the past, I got ten after I cleared this instance for ten times . ”
His voice trails off as Ah Zhao opens the box .
She takes out several sparkling silver feathers happily: “What do you think this is?”
Ji Yunting feels a little dizzy . One, two, three, four . . .
Seven Feather of Aurora in one box?
In retrospect, he only got two at the best of his luck which simply happened once . He didn't get anything at his worst time . Eventually, he had no choice but to buy three more from a player who was on good terms with him .
It drives him hopping mad to compare himself with the luckier persons .
Ah Zhao isn’t quite happy about the result .
She mumbles: “If it isn't for the restriction of this game, I can get you ten this once . ”
She can get ten, no doubt . However, cotton candy has warned her not to do something beyond the limit of the game, so she just gets the most within the limitation of this game .
Ji Yunting: “ . . . ”
He forces a smile: “It’s already great . ”
Throwing all the Feather of Aurora and other stuff she gets out of the box to Ji Yunting, Ah Zhao feels herself again . “It doesn’t matter . Three pieces short . I just need to kill her one more time . ”
Ji Yunting chooses to remain quiet since he doesn’t think he lives up to his place as No . 1 player of his server in front of Ah Zhao .
Only by now does he realize what a cheat engine really means .
Taking Ji Yunting, Ah Zhao teleports out of the instance of Succubus and enters it once again .
“Hah hah hah, another handsome boy who wants to climb up my bed?” After her return to life, Succubus lets out her hysterical laughter again .
This time, Ah Zhao still finds Succubus's line unpleasant .
Ji Yunting thinks Ah Zhao is going to play her old trick and fool Succubus into killing herself again . However, out of his expectation, Ah Zhao suddenly speaks when Succubus is about to attack:
“Don't even think about it . You are so ugly that no handsome boy will fall for you . ”
Ji Yunting: “ . . . ”
Succubus flares up: “Damn you, human . I’ll teach you a lesson and show you who I am!”
Her wings shake, ready to kill Ah Zhao .
Watching Succubus come at her, Ah Zhao suddenly blinks . Succubus lets out a painful howl in midair . Her wings close and she simply falls .
Bang!
After killing herself last time, Succubus acquires a new skill - falling to her death .
Ji Yunting: “How come she falls to her death given her seven-digit HP?”
“Well . ” Ah Zhao says at ease . “Bad for her . The bone of her wing stabs her heart as she falls . Poor thing . ”
[Succubus: Damn! I want to report a cheat engine!
Technological team: Everything is good . No problem found . ]
Ji Yunting: “ . . . ”
This line reminds him of something .
Come to think of it, Succubus is quite special among those bosses .
How special?
It’s said she hates both men and women since she was hurt by her loved one when she was alive . But she has different levels of hate .
If it is a female player, she will kill her without hesitation .
However, she treats male players a little differently .
An ugly male player will be killed directly like female players .
But not a good-looking male player .
Please refer to Succubus's line when she's out as to what will happen to good-looking male players .
She will seduce good-looking male players . Some players tried to obey her who ended up in the dungeon as her husband .
If good-looking male players don't follow her orders, Succubus will beat them and force them to be her husband in the dungeon .
In a word, obey her or not, as long as you are a good-looking male player who can't beat her, you end up being her husband .
Of course, though players are allowed to get on intimate terms with each other to some extent in this game, no such thing will happen between a player and an NPC .
Those male players who were taken to the dungeon only found themselves immobile with their HP lowering continuously . After one night like this, the game would remind players that they died because their lives wasted away because of sex with Succubus .
At this point, readers, you may recall reading that Ji Yunting is very familiar with this place .
Ji Yunting: “ . . . ”
He is a handsome man who has played this instance for ten times while winning eight times out of ten .
The past is painful to recall .
Therefore, Ji Yunting feels a little anxious hearing Succubus’ classic line .
But apparently, Ah Zhao is more agitated than he is .
As soon as she heard Succubus, her beautiful eyes widen and she seems to forget her image as an aloof girl . “Hey, what did you say? What handsome boy? How dare you take my man from me?”
Ji Yunting: “???!!!”
Realizing that her words sound a little strange, she turns back to him and explains: “I mean, you are the player I chose . I’m your cheat engine . Which means you are the man I chose . Do you get that?”
Ji Yunting: “ . . . ” That sounds weird, too!
However, Ah Zhao isn’t paying any attention to him . Now she is focusing on Succubus .
Ji Yunting stands by her side while listening to her mumbling: “At first I simply wanted you dead in a normal way . Now I think you can die a little horribly . ”
Ji Yunting: “ . . . ”
As he’s wondering how Ah Zhao will make Succubus more miserable, he hears she say slowly in a hoarse and deep tone, as if there’s a magical rhythm to her speech:
“Succubus, do you know what day it is today? Look, the moon is full . You’ve been here for a thousand years, waiting for a thousand years . Have you met who you are waiting for? Do you get what you want?”
“ . . . ”
A trace of loss suddenly crawls up Succubus's bloodshot eyes .
With her wings shake slightly, she falls slowly and lands beside Ah Zhao, her head raised at the full moon in the sky .
“Has it been full for a thousand years?”
Succubus mutters . A trail of tear drops down her cheek .
At the moment, Ah Zhao looks benevolent, together with her beautiful face and her solemn priest robe, she is a complete saint .
Ji Yunting listens to her as she tricks Succubus - a nightmare to numerous players with his mouth twitched and feels he doesn't know this game at all .
What comes later is more shocking, that Succubus, a headache to endless players KILLS HERSELF with tears in her eyes!
Now, Ji Yunting is in deep doubt of his life: Is this the instance I played in the past? Is this the game I played in the past? Am I even real?
