I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Seeing Shen Kang get up and walk out, Feng Moquan asked, "Old Shen, are you still going out at this hour?"

"I encountered a problem halfway through my studies, so I went to see if the library had any relevant books that I could borrow."

Upon hearing this, Feng Moquan wore a conflicted, pained, self-reproachful, and internally draining expression.

Shen Kang nodded in satisfaction—where else could he find a roommate like him who pushed him to study? If Feng Moquan got into graduate school, it would be unreasonable for him not to treat him to ten meals at Zhongtanghui.

After doing the good deed, Shen Kang left without a word, concealing his merit and fame, and exited the dormitory.

When he got to the dormitory management office, he saw the girl standing under the streetlight outside.

She had changed out of her military training uniform and put on a black dress adorned with many small embellishments that reflected the streetlights like twinkling stars. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, her face was as white as jade, her features were stunningly beautiful, and her eyes were cool and aloof. She carried a laptop bag in her hand.

One after another, freshmen boys who had just returned from military training passed by. Intimidated by her aura, they all walked around her, but they couldn't help but steal glances at her.

The girl was clearly waiting for someone, someone from the boys' dormitory.

This made the freshmen incredibly curious: just how handsome must someone be to make a girl wait for him at the entrance of the boys' dormitory?

Several freshmen simply refused to leave, making up excuses to linger at the dormitory management station and just wouldn't go.

Then they saw Shen Kang walk over, and the girl's eyes lit up. She picked up her laptop bag and obediently followed Shen Kang.

"..."

No, they thought the guy who could make this goddess wait for him must be incredibly handsome, but he's just average-looking. How did you, looking like that, manage to get such a goddess waiting for you at the dorm entrance?! And you didn't even help her with her laptop bag!

Several freshmen looked regretful, but at the same time, they had a strange expectation: if even a guy like this could find such a beautiful girlfriend in college, then gentlemen like them could easily win over beautiful girls with just a little gentleness, consideration and concern.

Thinking of this, a boy with a face full of acne smoothed his greasy hair and felt incredibly confident.

He finally mustered the courage to take out his phone and send a text message to the female classmate whose number he had gotten but had never texted.

【Weather Tip】: Tomorrow will be sunny turning cloudy, with temperatures ranging from 19 to 30 degrees Celsius, a difference of 11 degrees Celsius between day and night! There may be brief gusts of wind in the afternoon, but your presence will make them gentler. Friendly reminder: Tomorrow's perceived temperature will rise an extra 5 degrees Celsius thanks to your smile!

The boy had been planning this text message for a long time. It combined caring concern, humor, and mystery, making it a perfect first text message. He was very satisfied.

Sure enough, the girl replied to his text message quickly.

The boy excitedly clicked to take a look.

"Unsubscribe"

"..."

……

Walking under rows of streetlights, smelling the faint fragrance around him, Shen Kang felt very comfortable—compared to the sweaty smell that Feng Moquan and the others brought back to the dormitory, He Qiuzhu's surroundings were simply paradise.

Who says girls don't like to be clean and that girls' dormitories are dirty and messy? Look how clean He Qiuzhu is! She takes a shower as soon as military training ends!

As they approached the second canteen, Shen Kang pointed to the canteen ahead and said, "Let's go there."

He Qiuzhu shook her head and whispered, "Let's find a classroom."

Shen Kang felt that she was acting strangely.

All he wanted to do was show me the online game he wanted to play. Why did they make him come down and then insist on walking a few extra steps to find a classroom?

But it doesn't matter anyway.

"Let's go to B23 then, it's the closest one."

The two walked for a while and arrived at the B23 teaching building.

The academic atmosphere at Yangko University of Science and Technology may not be as strong as that of top-tier 985 universities, but there are still many people who love learning. It's only been a few days since the start of the semester, and from the outside, you can see that several study rooms in Building B23 already have their lights on.

Shen Kang led He Qiuzhu up to the second floor, found a classroom that was not lit, and turned on the light. As a result, they heard a scream of surprise.

Two students, a boy and a girl, quickly separated in a corner at the back, looking flustered and their clothes were disheveled.

"...Sorry to interrupt, please continue."

Shen Kang considerately turned off the light again, covered He Qiuzhu's eyes with one hand, and stepped back into another dark classroom.

"What are they doing?" He Qiuzhu asked curiously, following closely behind him with his eyes covered.

"They're studying, don't disturb them," Shen Kang said seriously.

When they reached the dark classroom, Shen Kang learned from his mistake this time and called out, "Is anyone here?" After confirming that no one was inside, he turned on the light, led He Qiuzhu inside, and sat her down in a corner at the back.

"Come on, what kind of game is it?" Shen Kang was genuinely curious now.

Several answers flashed through his mind: MapleStory? World of Warcraft? JX3? Surely not Dungeon Fighter Online (DNF)...

Out of curiosity, He Qiuzhu took out his laptop, plugged in the USB wireless network card, and clicked on an icon on the desktop.

Shen Kang thought it was some kind of game, but it turned out to be "Tian Long Ba Bu". Sohu's current cash source, 95% of its revenue comes from this game.

He had also played this game, and Yin Mingyang is playing it now. I always saw Yin Mingyang playing it when we went to the internet cafe together during summer vacation.

What's so hard about this game that you have to find a secret place to watch it?

Shen Kang was puzzled, then he saw He Qiuzhu enter her account and click into the "Luofu Mountain" server in the South China Telecom Zone 1.

There's already a created game character inside. It's a male character, from the Beggars' Sect, dressed in red, and his game ID is displayed on the screen.

The reeds sway gently

"..."

In the original novel of "Love O2O", isn't the female lead, Lu Weiwei, a woman? How come she's a male character?

Shen Kang inwardly complained, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that He Qiuzhu was secretly observing him.

So, without saying a word, he simply said, "Oh, you've already created your account."

He Qiuzhu seemed relieved, but was still a little nervous, and said, "I created an account for you too."

As she spoke, she logged out of this account and logged into another one, still accessing the Luofu Mountain server. Inside, there was a female character, belonging to the Emei sect, dressed in white, and her game ID was displayed on the interface.

Nothing to do with a smile

"..."

Shen Kang finally understood.

In the original novel of "Love O2O", the male protagonist, Yi Xiao Naihe, is a musician and healer dressed in white. However, in the game "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the only healing sect is Emei, but Emei does not allow male characters to be created.

Therefore, He Qiuzhu wanted him to be "Yi Xiao Nai He", so she could only create a female character for him.

So she changed her own gender and created a male beggar's guild called "Luwei Weiwei".

Yi Xiao Nai He and Lu Wei Wei Wei are the male and female protagonists of "Love O2O". Both of them are college students who first fall in love online in the game and then develop their relationship offline.

Shen Kang thought to himself, "You're really something, kid. Are you trying to cosplay with me?"

Also, who recommended this terrible romance novel to He Qiuzhu? Wouldn't it have been better to recommend "How the Steel Was Tempered"?
