It wouldn't be good to keep the other party waiting for too long, so she checked the messages and decided to reply on Chai Qianning's behalf.
When her finger landed on the screen, she paused for a moment, then scrolled back to the interface and looked at all the games on her sister's phone.
There are horror, fantasy, and shooting/tower defense genres.
Chai Qianning plays quite a lot of games, not just those on the interface, but also some that she's gotten tired of and uninstalled.
Would it be inappropriate for Teacher Sheng to know that her sister is usually so irresponsible?
Her eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings under the light.
Forget about horror games; she ended up choosing the name of an ancient Chinese fantasy game and sending it over.
She and Chai Qianning had played this game together.
After replying to the message, Chai Shuqing continued playing the game with a clear conscience.
About twenty minutes later, Chai Qianning returned to her room.
Just as I stepped across the threshold, I heard Chai Shuqing say, "Teacher Sheng sent you a message."
Chai Qianning sat down at the table, opened a drawer and rummaged through it: "What did you send?"
"I'm asking you what stage you've reached in your cultivation... no..." Chai Shuqing's attention was entirely on the game, and she didn't even look up. "I'm asking you what games you usually play."
Chai Qianning tore open the face mask packaging and applied it to her face. She pouted at the mirror and asked, "Why are you asking me this?"
"I replied for you, I don't know if I replied correctly, but I saw that game is on your phone. But, sis..." Chai Shuqing finally looked up: "Are you going to ascend to immortality?"
Chai Qianning blinked, turned her head, and even her face mask couldn't hide the furrows in her brows. Her gaze seemed to say: What nonsense are you spouting!
"Otherwise, why would Teacher Sheng call you a 'half-immortal'? When did you get that title?"
"A fortune teller?"
"Yes, look."
Chai Shuqing held out her phone screen to show her.
If she weren't currently applying a face mask, Chai Qianning would definitely have smiled first. But right now, she was wiping the mask with her fingers, her lips pressed into a straight line.
——
I don't know why Sheng Muxi asked her what games she played. Could it be that she was bored during summer vacation and wanted to find something to pass the time?
That evening, Chai Qianning sat on the edge of the bed, her legs crossed and resting on the chair next to her.
Typing with eyes downcast: [You don't usually play games, why are you asking me this? Also, why do you call me a fortune teller?]
Sheng Muxi replied quickly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to try playing games."
I see you enjoy fortune telling for fun, so this title suits you quite well.
Chai Qianning's eyelashes trembled slightly. Guessing what the other woman was thinking, she proactively asked, "Do you want me to play with you?"
That would naturally be something they desperately wanted, and Sheng Muxi wouldn't have wanted it anyway.
From downloading the game to logging in, Sheng Muxi was completely bewildered throughout the entire process.
Having someone to guide her is certainly a good thing, especially since she started playing games because of Chai Qianning.
Voice call.
Chai Qianning told the other party where to search for her nickname and add her.
She had already played half of her previous account, so she had to register a new account to play with the other person.
This game is mainly about treasure hunting, monster fighting, and leveling up.
You can do it alone, with one other person, or in a team. The more people there are, the better the benefits you'll receive.
“Come with me,” Chai Qianning said.
Sheng Muxi awkwardly followed behind her, controlling the game character.
When they reached the edge of the cliff, Chai Qianning first gave her a demonstration, along with voice instructions: "You can use the light-foot technique by pressing the jump button once, then pressing forward, then pressing the jump button again. But you see, the distance to the other side is a bit long, so you have to press the jump button three times, do a triple jump, and then press forward to fly."
Sheng Muxi understood what he was hearing, but putting it into practice was a different story.
She followed the instructions, but the flight was anything but smooth, and she ended up hanging precariously from the tree.
Chai Qianning nimbly jumped down from the side and saved her. Then they crossed the river, and Sheng Muxi's game character fell into the river and drowned.
A few breathy sounds came from the phone's microphone, and Sheng Muxi knew the other person was trying not to laugh. She said coquettishly, "You're making fun of me!"
"No, no." Chai Qianning's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she had been holding it in for a long time.
“Teacher Sheng, I was the same way the first time I played. I either fell into a pit and got stuck in a tree or got lost. It took me a long time to get the hang of it,” Chai Qianning encouraged her.
Sheng Muxi tapped the screen, swimming aimlessly in the river. It was her first time playing a game, and she was completely disoriented, unable to tell which way was which.
Chai Qianning somehow obtained a wooden boat and rescued her.
Because they had been in the water for too long, Sheng Muxi's game character was on the verge of death.
Chai Qianning took out a medicine bottle from her body and gave it to her game character, which brought her back to life.
Later, under Sheng Muxi's guidance, Chai Qianning experienced something completely different from anything she had ever experienced in this game before; it was quite novel.
other people.
Wielding a sword, I roam the world, standing on a cliff, my robes fluttering in the wind.
Sheng Muxi and Chai Qianning.
She jumped, and Chai Qianning saved her; she flew, and Chai Qianning saved her.
other people.
Find clues, open treasure chests, obtain treasures, and level up by fighting monsters.
"Brother, look what I found."
"Sister, I found a jade pendant."
"Sister, look at this map, is this the way to go?"
"Brother, I'll clear the way, you cover the rear."
Sheng Muxi and Chai Qianning.
Sheng Muxi: "Where is this?"
Where am I?
"Where are you?"
"Help me."
".."
Chai Qianning: "I'm here."
"Don't run around."
"I am coming."
"I've come to save you."
"I've brought you medicine to save you."
"I've come to save you on my sword."
"I've come to rescue you with my shovel."
"I've come to rescue you in my little sailboat."
"I've come to save you, wielding my eighty-meter-long sword."
".."
Because Sheng Muxi really doesn't know how to play, every time he presses the jump button, something unexpected happens halfway through flying, and every time he uses the light-foot technique, he falls off midway.
Chai Qianning felt that this beautiful ancient-style game had been turned into a death escape game by them.
They even resemble a master and apprentice duo, except that Sheng Muxi is just missing putting a tight headband on her head, putting his hands together, and saying "Wukong" to her.
Wukong was exhausted from playing the game tonight; his fingers were practically smoking from tapping the screen. He never expected that when he took someone to explore the Wild Canyon, that person would get run over and killed by a bison.
Sheng Muxi stared at her game character's health bar on her phone screen, which had reached zero, and fell into deep thought. She then spoke slowly and deliberately, "Save me."
Chai Qianning: "..."
The two struggled to complete the first game mission, but finally reached their destination and opened the first treasure chest.
The treasure chest contains a blue-purple hair chain, which can increase a character's defense when worn.
Chai Qianning gave this necklace to Sheng Muxi.
Sheng Muxi's game character is a female knight-errant with her hair half-tied in a high ponytail.
If we ignore Sheng Muxi's gameplay, the character's appearance is quite heroic and dashing.
And this game, for them, could perhaps be named: The Silly Female Swordsman and Her Bodyguard.
"I just realized that the scenes in this game are all very beautiful," Sheng Muxi said.
At this moment, the two players' game characters are standing on the mountaintop.
In the distance, there was a hazy, ethereal mountain mist, surrounded by small flowers, pink and yellow in color, with several butterflies fluttering around them.
Chai Qianning's game character jumped up and reached out to touch the butterfly.
The two stood face to face, and Chai Qianning said, "Look, haven't you unlocked a new skill?"
"Yes, what are those two little figures for?" Sheng Muxi asked.
Chai Qianning, controlling her game character, moved closer and said, "Try clicking it."
Immediately afterwards, on the mountaintop, the two game characters hugged.
Strangely enough, even though it was a game and she was hugging a game character, Sheng Muxi felt a very subtle feeling.
The virtual world can indeed be addictive.
“This is the skill of hugging,” Chai Qianning explained to her.
Sheng Muxi nodded and said sincerely, "This game is really fun."
