[Online Gaming] Love You 59 Seconds Chapter 23

Proofreader: Jesse

Words from Translator: Hohohoho, so you have Xiao Wu revealing to Xia Chen that he is a boy; yet Xia Chen is still being nice to him. Many of you asking "why Xia Chen is so nice to Xiao Wu"? I hope you found your answer in the previous chapter. Xia Chen admits that he just simply finds this game character is very obedient and well-behave; that's why he likes to hang around that character. This thinking is very normal to all gamers, if any of you have played Maplestory, you can relate to this. Remember back in 2006 or 2007 when Maplestory is so popular? Many people were playing that game and in the game, sometimes there would be players that kept on bothering other players by asking them for money and gears just because they are poor and can't afford any. That was quite annoying =.= and trust me, those people are like leeches, they won't let you off >.> unless you log out or you just report them >.> So Xia Chen's reason is just as simple as "Xiao Wu is not an annoying brat, that's all" XDDD Sometimes, the real reason is just as simple as that, just like it's just simple that "one person likes another person" there is no other reason than that kekekeke ^^ 

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: How are you so fast =.=
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: I was at the bank trading BB* {BB - baby - slang for pets in the game}
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ......

Wu Han Ying looked at the team chat and remembered that when he logged in as XC he was standing at the bank in Luoyang, but he was in such a rush he didn't pay attention to his surroundings and whether Love You 59 Seconds was standing next to him or not. He did not expect...

{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Aiyo, hero saving his beauty
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: ao ao* {wailing sound, like a wolf calling sound}

Xiao Xiao's words surprised Wu Han Ying, only then did he notice someone else on the map.

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: I have to go back
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Haven't finished trading
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Oh
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Why are you ignoring me T-T
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Lao Da ++++ me

Love You 59 Seconds just simply ignored Xiao Xiao and returned to Luoyang. Xiao Xiao circled around XC as words kept popping up over her head.

{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Lao Da, no one is online now, +++ only me
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: I'll go with you two to level up together
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: We can help rebuff Sao Zi's +++ blood
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: ++++ yeah?
{Nearby}[XC]: ............
{Nearby}[XC]: I'm Xiao Wu

Wu Han Ying felt disconcerted with Xiao Xiao jumping around him non-stop and with the addition of the lagging internet, he was getting dizzier by the second. He typed in his reply and waited for almost half a day when it finally appeared in the nearby channel.

{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: ！！！！！！
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: ！！！！！！
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: JQ*! {Translator Input: Ji Qing - chinese slang - gay love or BL. I recommend that everyone start trying to remember this word because you will see it many times in this story and maybe in any of my future works since this word is widely used ^^ }
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Ay Ay Ay, you didn't even tell us of your progress
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: No wonder I couldn't find Lao Da the whole morning!
{Nearby}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: It turned out he was with Sao Zi the whole time!

Wu Han Ying felt like facepalming himself after looking at all of the messages filling the nearby chat, he had the urge to kick this girl back to her mother's womb*. Everyone coming and going could clearly see their conversation; she didn't even bother to use private message.

[T/N: kick her back to her mother's womb - it's a Chinese slang used among friends, it doesn't harbor any hatred, just the frustration of a person. Like when we say "let me knock some sense into you", ^^]

He had wanted to explain the situation clearly, but when he was about to send the message "Shifu went to bed this morning", he immediately deleted it; he was afraid Xiao Xiao would twist his words into something really ambiguous -_-

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Let's go
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Ok

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: First, let's go to Mo Ya Cave
{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ???

Xiao Wu. sent over a whole bunch of question marks, but Love You 59 Seconds did not reply he just directly clicked on the follow button. Xiao Wu. immediately clicked accept.

Wu Han Ying puckered his lips as he followed the other man. He looked around and saw Xiao Xiao wasn't following them and thought to himself how come that girl is so quiet today. But when he looked at the guild channel...

The guild chat was in total chaos...

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: You guys are finally on (Crying Expression)
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: ??? I just woke up, Xiao Xiao what happened
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Lao Da secretly took Sao Zi on a date
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: He would not let me be an onlooker (Crying Expression)
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: *rub rub*
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: What is the fun of spying on BG {Boy&Girl}
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Let big sis take you to spy on BL
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: But Lao Da and Sao Zi are using male characters
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: (Crying Expression) I want to see them hugging each other
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: Yo, where are they now?
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: I heard that Lao Da just bought a Crocodile that has a potential of 1895
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: Isn't that because he wants to level up the BB

Wu Han Ying looked at the guild channel and only after reading the last couple of comments did he pay attention to the blue Crocodile following behind Love You 59 Seconds. He couldn't help but think that it has a very weird way of walking, swaying left and right as it was running forward.

An example of a Crocodile Pet

He really didn't understand the potential comment in Xiang Zuo Kan's message, so he opened his pet tab. He found that there were only two on the list: one is the squirrel that is given by the gaming system and the other is the doggie that he received from his sect. He used to have a yellow duck that he received when he did the pet quest, but there is a limit to how many pets the player can take along so he had to release it.

Squirrel pet

Doggy Pet

Xiao Wu. hadn't even started training the two pets he currently has. He often took his pet squirrel around when he was playing the female little Wudang. For his Xiao Wu. account he was only able to train his squirrel up a few levels before Love You 59 Seconds put it away for good.

After they had entered Mo Ya Cave, Love You 59 Seconds disabled the follow function and started attacking the surrounding monsters. He killed just a few monsters when the blue Crocodile was surrounded by golden light, which signals that the pet's level went up.

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: 1895 is not a good one
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: That's good enough, nowadays nobody sells a better one than that
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: Also when little Bangzhu turns to level 65, she can switch to the Little Cub {bear}
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: I like the Little Cub better
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Me too!!! It's so round like a cute bun
{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Oh, I happen to have a polar bear cub
{Guild}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Potential?
{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: But not too JP {Translator Input: JP - ji pin - something that is high quality or rare}
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Lao Da wants to gain the upper hand
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: First come first serve, I was first
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: I also want it T-T
{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: (Laughing Expression) Let's go, Lao Da is at Mo Ya Cave. Let's go train our babies
{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Ok
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: ......
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Junzi, when did you turn into such a kiss up seme...

Wu Han Ying dragged down the scroll bar to read the guild channel again; he had not finished reading the messages because he noticed two more people were next to him: Qian Qian Junzi and Xiang Zuo Kan...

{Team}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Having Xiao Yan coming along is quite convenient
{Team}[Qian Qian Junzi]: It's easier to get into the team

The handsome Tianshan {Assassin class} standing next to Xiao Wu. had bubbles popping on his head. He was wearing xianlv clothing from head to toe, his hairstyle was changed from the basic options and it was even dyed a silver-grayish color. It was quite eye catching.

{Translator Input: Let's talk about the hairstyle of the characters in this game. Once you create a character, you have some basic hairstyles and hair colors to choose from. It is usually limited to less than 8 options. So your character might have a twin somewhere in the game. However, you have the option to change your hairstyle and hair color after you have entered the game. In order to "customize" your own character to make it look "wealthy" and different, you can always purchase the in game coupon to change your hairstyle and even hair color. I am guessing that Junzi's character would look something like the picture below.}

Xiang Zuo Kan is a level 94 Murong. She was adorned in all green handcrafted equipment. Although her clothing was not of the trendy style, the appearance of such JP handcrafted pieces of equipment is enough to make others feel envious. A little polar bear cub followed behind her.

{Translator Input: This is what I imagine Zuo Kan Beauty looks like}

The little polar bear cub was also at level 1; its head of course was not as big as a fully grown polar bear, but it was so fluffy and tiny that it looks really cute. When it was not in battle mode, it would obediently play by itself on the ground.

After Love You 59 Seconds added the two to the team, he continued to attack the monsters. Xiang Zuo Kan brought her little polar bear cub to run everywhere on the map to attract the far away monsters and lure them closer; the little cub kept swaying its hips as it moved along.

The Polar Bear Cub would be something like this
