[Online Gaming] Love You 59 Seconds Chapter 28

Proofreader: Jesse

In order to find a socket for his laptop, Wu Han Ying deliberately picked a seat in the middle row section at the far right corner; there were five more people next to him. It would be quite embarrassing if he was to collect his laptop and ask each one of them to let him go through since the class had already started and the whole classroom was very quiet...

He stayed there through half the lecture, Professor Xia did not glance over to his seat once which made him feel somewhat relieved. His portable mouse kept making the "click click" sound as he tapped on it, so he put it away and resorted to using the touchpad. He then moved his character to the outer field to complete some quests by himself.

Xiao Wu. wandered around outside of the city for some time, only to find out that the skill bar on the bottom of the screen was somewhat different from last night; there were some new skills added and then he looked at the avatar at the upper left corner of the screen, it showed that he is already at level 60. The new skills were Blessed Recovery and Setback Arrow.

{Translator Input: Time for me to explain these two skills

Blessed Recovery - One time use, rebuff the target's blood by 10%

Setback Arrow - to shoot out an arrow that knocks your enemy off their horse if they're on a mount, and immobilize them for 2 seconds.}

It must be Love You 59 Seconds who logged into this account yesterday when he had nothing to do since the Blessed Recovery skill is already at max level. Wu Han Ying carefully observed the skill bar again and then moved his character to the field to complete the quests.

Once he was in the field he habitually released his baby, even though he knew his Blue Skin Calcium is a blood supply baby that is useless when in battle since it simply cannot produce an attack; but whatever it can do is better than nothing. Once he released the baby, he was shocked. The one supposedly jumping next to him was that blue Crocodile, right? What was beside him was a snowy white thing with two long ears holding onto a mooncake with its "hands" while carrying a basket on its back...obviously it is a bunny =.=

Bunny

Wu Han Ying had once seen a bunny baby like this. When he was waiting to be added into a team at the gathering place for Tricyclic, he saw some people passing by and one player carried one; it is actually particularly cute and very eye-catching. However...the other player was a female character!

And then he looked at the name of the bunny---Strolling No. 1 ...

Wu Han Ying suddenly felt 囧; Strolling No. 1, this name really is...

He opened his pet tab and found that his squirrel had disappeared, only three rare babies were displayed...Bunny baby Strolling No. 1, Butterfly Flower Girl Strolling No. 2 and a Crocodile named Blue Skin Calcium...

He called back the white bunny and then released Strolling No. 2 to take a look. Wu Han Ying immediately went 囧囧, a chibi girl wearing a baby bib as carrying a bouquet of flowers that were shining brightly, what kind of case is this =口=?! Comparing to the bunny, this was even more...

Butterfly Flower Girl

With 囧囧 feeling, he called back the Butterfly Flower Girl, it was better to take the crocodile with him to do the quests. Wu Han Ying just wanted to palm his face; if he was to take that with him to training, other people would think that he is a yaoren*...

{Translator Input: yaoren - it's a game slang that is used to call those girls who play male character in game.}

Most of level 55-60 quests are in Wu Yi. Wu Han Ying looked at the map and called out that wretched mount and rode it to Wu Yi. This was his first time coming to Wu Yi, the background music is very good in the sense that it goes along with the scenery of the place; however, the monsters here are very difficult to kill. Group after group of high HP and attack monsters kept mobbing him, he had not finished off the first group when the second one was coming. Xiao Wu. was quite pitiful when he did not even have time to eat any bread.

So this time the Advance Ice Burst skill that Love You 59 Seconds helped him learn came in handy...he just needed to shoot out the ice burst when he could not fight off the monsters and then he could take advantage of the monsters' frozen time by quickly mounting that wretched-looking beast and running away...

Wu Han Ying finished a few quests before he realized that Wu Yi quests are especially bitter! The quests are to kill a certain amount of monsters, but the marked coordinate is always next to the small BOSS. As he rode his mount over to the location, he was ambushed by a mob of monsters and the small BOSS*.

{Translator Input: Small Boss here is to indicate the bigger size monsters of the same kind. Like the bees have the queen bee. It's like that ^^}

After he had done half of the quests, he got an invitation to join a team of one, a level 56 female Wudang. Wu Han Ying clicked accept; it gave him an emotional feeling when he looked at the little Wudang wearing low level sect clothes next to him since it looked somewhat like his Xiao Wu. The other person also requested to add him to their friend list, Xiao Wu. clicked accept.

Unfortunately Xiao Wu. soon regretted that decision and the reason was nothing out of the ordinary, this little Wudang is very unlikeable. When they fought off the monsters, she only followed behind him and talked nonstop instead of helping him kill the monsters.

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Ge Ge, you're so well equipped!

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: A whole set of 6 stars!

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Ge Ge, your babies {pets} are so adorable

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: I especially like the White Bunny and the Butterfly Flower Girl!

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Can you give me one

{Team{[Bing*Xue]: Any of the two would be fine!!

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Give one to me, yeah

{Translator Input: The above case is very common in the game culture in China (i have to put this, because not all region is the same though >.>) you won't like these people; that's all. Now you know why Xia Chen likes the obedient Xiao Wu? If you still don't, then *LOL* what else can I say?  I'm speechless ~ LOL}

At first Wu Han Ying replied a few times to her because it was impolite of him to let the other have a monologue, but over time he noticed it was his biggest mistake.

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Sorry

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Shifu gave me those, I can't give them away

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: They're really cute

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Ge Ge, please give me one

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Or just sell one to me

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: ......

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Then as long as I become an apprentice

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: It's Love You 59 Seconds, right?

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: I'll also go be his apprentice

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: I also want a Mandarin duck baby

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: But Shifu is not online

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: Then I'll wait

{Team}[Bing*Xue]: I'll wait for him to be online and then I'll send him a message

Mandarin Duck

He looked at the title "Love You 59 Seconds' Apprentice" on top of Xiao Wu.'s head; Wu Han Ying felt his mouth unintentionally twitching, Love You 59 Seconds you have my blessing.

He looked at the time and it was almost break time, Wu Han Ying finally found a legit excuse, so he said he had something to do, left the team and then turned off his laptop.

As he lifted his head up, he saw Professor Xia holding a book while walking down the back rows, he became so scared that he immediately closed his laptop.

Xia Chen said time for a break and then exited the classroom first, Wu Han Ying pretended to go to the restroom and then slipped away.

Wu Han Ying carried his backpack and headed out of the classroom, he looked up and saw that the number on the room was...102...so he remembered it right, he even took a look at the class schedule behind their dorm's door before he headed out.

It doesn't matter since it was useless for him to confirm it now, so he decided to quickly head back to the dorm. Halfway back to his room he received a text message from his roommates telling him to buy water bottles on his way back because they were completely out of water.

Wu Han Ying had to head to the convenience store which is out of his way, he came out with a big plastic bag full of mineral water bottles; it looked like he cleaned out the whole shelf of water bottles. He had to buy so many because the school's hot water is really hard to consume since it not only contains heavy alkaline levels, but it also has a very weird taste to it; try to make instant noodle with that water and you will understand.

After he paid and walked out Wu Han Ying made a turn at the garden in the center of the school and saw Xia Chen. He was standing there with one hand up to his ear and it looked like he was talking on the phone, while the other hand was holding a cigarette in between his fingers.

Wu Han Ying was a bit surprise and he thought of going around, but the other man also saw him so he had no other choice but to face the situation, he said "Hello Professor Xia" and then quickly walked away.

Unfortunately, he got a tap on his shoulder and it was Xia Chen who stopped him; the other man covered his phone with his hand.

"Student, help me get something from my room upstairs."

"Uh...Okay." Wu Han Ying could only nod his head; the other man's tone was still a decibel lower as always with that forever stoic face.

Xia Chen put out his cigarette, from his coat pocket he took out a keychain and gave it to him, "Room 207, help me grab the package of documents on the table."

"Ah, sure." Wu Han Ying took the keychain and turned to head upstairs, but he was stopped before that.

"Help me take it to the school entrance; someone will be there to pick it up." Xia Chen finished his sentence and then turned to talk into the phone telling the person on the other end something like be at the school entrance in two minutes a student will hand it over and he had to go to his lecture now.

Wu Han Ying held up the keychain in his hand, the keychain was very common, but there was a car key on it and the logo on the car key was very recognizable, Mercedes-Benz...

Wu Han Ying was carrying a big bag of water bottles in his hand and a laptop in his backpack which were heavy as hell. Thank god that he only had to go to the second floor to pick up something.

Once he entered Xia Chen's room, he could not help but feel a bit envious as he looked around; the room here and the rooms upstairs are the same size, but because this room has one bed it is very open and gives off the illusion of being bigger. The most important thing was the room was very clean, everything was in order and very neat. When he entered it gave him the impression of a well-organized place, it was very much like the person of Xia Chen.

But he did not have time to be mesmerized by his place, he put his bag on the floor by the door and quickly grabbed the package containing the document.

It was placed next to the laptop. When he reached out his hand to grab it, he accidentally moved the mouse, the laptop was not off and the black screen lit up.

Wu Han Ying really did not have any curiosity to peek at other people's laptops, but as the laptop lit up the familiar Tian Long Ba Bu interface appeared on the screen.

On the screen was the scenery in Yu Xi and there was a man fishing by the pond, over his head was the name "Jing Nian".

A max account level 119...Wu Han Ying only glanced at it before he quickly grabbed the needed item and then locked the door after he ran out. He had learned that Professor Xia also plays TLBB, but it really had nothing to do with him.

Wu Han Ying ran downstairs as he looked at his watch. He only had 1 minute left of the 15-minute break time, so he quickly dashed to the classroom to give Xia Chen the key first; he really did not want to be faced with the unwanted attention from his classmates when he walks in to return the key...

After he handed the keychain over to Xia Chen, he headed to the school entrance to deliver the document. Even though it was winter time he was starting to sweat since he was carrying a laptop that weighed at least 2 to 3 kg while running around the school.

When Wu Han Ying reached the school entrance, he saw a black business car parked on the roadside. Standing next to it was a man about 24 or 25 years old dressed in a suit and tie with a white shirt and seemed unfazed with the cold winter weather.

The man walked over when he saw Wu Han Ying run out, his face showed a polite courteous smile, but no matter how Wu Han Ying looked at it the man looked like someone of the elite class.

"Here's your thing."

"Thank you, thank you," said the man as he took the package, Wu Han Ying thought his tone of voice had a somewhat joking tone.

Wu Han Ying did not stick around once he handed the package over he quickly went back to his dorm. With all of that running around he was sweating quite a bit, so the blowing wind made his body catch a chill.

As he reached the first floor of the dormitory he received a call from Jiang Tan, when he picked up he immediately heard the other side roaring and shouting, "When have you ever been so indulgent with the lecturing hour? Hurry and get back, we're about to die from thirst!"

Wu Han Ying wanted to curse back that you're the one that likes to listen to old Professor Liu lecturing, but all the words he wanted to say for the moment died away as he realized his hand was empty, the bag of water was missing...he had forgotten it in Professor Xia's room...

Translator Note:

Slang Corner!

There are two important slang words that I recommend everyone who is reading this novel or this genre of online gaming to ALWAYS remember!

Yaoren / 妖人 - females who play male game characters

Renyao / 人妖 - males who play female game characters

You just have to switch the characters around and it gives you two different meanings of the same thing, sort of ^^ And remember this is a game slang only. Don't go around calling people renyao, because it's really inappropriate; the word is a degrading form of calling a transvestite. It's an offensive word in real life, so that's why it is widely used in gaming as a joke but not in real life.
