Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Bai Li's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.

I have absolutely no resistance to the blatant, even somewhat vulgar, flattery of these young women.

That's the destructive power of a "spiritual young woman".

Using the most straightforward language, it delivers the most powerful emotional value.

"Okay." Bai Li leaned back in his gaming chair.

"Then come and stay under my table."

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

She crouched down and crawled under the computer desk.

"Wait until I've cleaned up the drawing." Bai Li said casually, her legs slightly apart.

"I estimate the time will be about right, just in time for eating buns."

A muffled "hmm" came from under the table.

With the zipper zipping, the game began.

In order to prevent herself from performing poorly, Bai Li specifically checked the "Finish teammates" option in the matchmaking settings.

The progress bar has finished loading, and we have landed at the top-secret space base.

Bai Li first moved Zhang Qian's game character to a corner and had her squat behind a box to AFK.

Only after settling this burden did he put his hands back on his keyboard.

He had barely started when, before he could even probe the area, a series of footsteps suddenly came through his earpiece.

Bai Li, controlling the character's perspective, discovered that the footsteps were coming from his teammates.

The teammates who filled in for this random match chose the Dr. Bee role.

The key point is that the bee doctor was right behind him, completely clueless, and swaggering forward without even taking proper steps.

Bai Li pressed the voice button and started criticizing:

"Don't you understand 'keep quiet'?! If you can't fight, don't run around causing trouble! Just stay in the back and heal and cover for me!"

The bee doctor could obviously hear him; he paused for two seconds, as if he were typing.

Bee Doctor: [???]

Bee Doctor: [Oh, oh]

at the same time.

Thirty kilometers away from Pingxian County is Yunshi, the city above Pingxian County.

On the third floor of a luxury villa on the hillside, there is a princess room that is over 100 square meters in size.

The left half of the wall is filled with various pink-themed, officially licensed, limited-edition plush toys, while the right half is filled with high-powered motorcycle models and figurines.

In front of the computer screen.

A spirited young woman with short, pink hair was wearing shorts and sitting on a chair with her legs crossed.

She was extremely beautiful and pretty, with fair and translucent skin, but her figure was rather flat under the black tank top with a skull print.

Xie Lingmo looked at the bee doctor she was controlling on the screen, her delicate eyebrows furrowing into a pretzel.

"Why are you being so fierce?" Xie Lingmo muttered to herself in front of the computer, her lips pouting as she spoke without her microphone on.

"Who do you think you are, daring to yell at me like that?"

"I'm Xie Lingmo, the only daughter of the Xie family, one of the four major families in Yunshi! I have dozens of young ladies under my command!"

She's used to being flattered by everyone, but today, she's being treated like a grandson while playing a game.

Xie Lingmo was furious, so she typed two "oh"s on the keyboard to get it over with, but her face was full of confusion:

Why is there a gurgling sound besides my teammates' voices? What's that sound?

But she never speaks on her microphone while playing games because her voice is too soft and sweet. Every time she does, those lowly gamers chase after her and call her "Mommy," which is incredibly annoying.

But the thought of her teammates' pointing and whispering tone made her furious.

"Fine, you think you're so great? Didn't you want me to walk in silence?"

"I won't!"

"I'm going to deliberately slip up, infuriate you, and ruin your plans!"

Xie Lingmo typed away on the keyboard, controlling her bee doctor character, and swaggered out from behind cover.

Not only did they miss their footsteps.

She even circled around Bai Li's character three times to the left and three times to the right, and even fired two shots at the ceiling out of nowhere.

Boom!

Inside the e-sports room of the Cloud Top Palace.

Bai Li was aiming his gun at the end of the corridor when the sudden gunshot made his hand tremble.

I almost flung the crosshair into the sky.

Zhang Qian also let out two soft coughs as Bai Li's body tensed up.

Bai Li was furious.

Does this idiot teammate have ADHD?!

He decisively pressed the voice button:

"Dr. Bee, are you out of your mind?! Why are you firing for no reason! You've attracted all the enemies! Back off, give me a stimulant to heal!"

There was no response from the other end of the earphone.

The bee doctor continued to hop around aimlessly, as if nothing was wrong.

"Heal? Dream on." Xie Lingmo sneered.

She held the treatment needle in her hand but wouldn't insert it, watching helplessly as Bai Li limped along.

Not only did she not heal, Xie Lingmo even deliberately blocked Bai Li's movement by positioning herself in the door frame.

Xie Lingmo looked at her teammate on the screen, who was jumping up and down in anger because of her, and laughed so hard that she almost fell over.

"Serves you right! Serves you right for insulting me!"

Xie Lingmo's short pink hair swayed wildly with her laughter, and her usually stern and sickly face was unusually flushed.

After she finished laughing, her gaze inadvertently swept to the right side of the computer desk.

There was a row of white medicine bottles there.

They are all prescription psychotropic drugs for depression and anxiety.

The smile lingered briefly on his face before quickly fading by half.

Xie Lingmo reached out and fiddled with the medicine bottle, a hint of self-mockery flashing in her eyes.

She had so many so-called "good sisters" under her command, who all flattered her and tried every means to make her happy.

But as soon as I get home, the desolate feeling that can drive a person crazy lingers in my mind when I face the empty mansion.

That's bullshit.

Xie Lingmo rested her chin on the back of her hand, looking at her teammate on the screen who was furiously cursing in the voice chat:

"In real life, you spend so much money to support a bunch of lackeys, but in the end, they're not as interesting as a foul-mouthed stranger you meet in a game."

Although this guy has a foul mouth, at least he's expressing what he really thinks.

Instead of flattering others just to make themselves happy...

This vibrant interaction was like a powerful remedy for Xie Lingmo, who had been suffering from depression for a long time.

She got more and more into it and continued to cause trouble in various ways.

The firefight in the top-secret aerospace corridor was extremely intense.

The enemy's full-strength force pressed forward.

Without cover and having to worry about his stupid teammates blocking his movement, Bai Li focused all his attention.

Pull the gun, bow, and instantly crouch and scope in.

The M7's barrel was almost smoking from firing.

A burst of bullets swept through, the headshot line locked tight.

Simply string the gourds together and knock down two of them.

Just as the remaining player was about to pull out of position to finish off the enemy, Bai Li executed an extremely skillful preemptive movement and threw a grenade, bouncing into the house along the corner of the wall.

This set of operations was executed flawlessly, without any unnecessary or wasteful movements.

boom!

Triple kill, team wiped out.

The entire corridor fell silent.

The ground was covered with bags.

In front of the computer screen, Xie Lingmo, who was looking for a spot to continue shooting and causing trouble, suddenly squeezed the mouse in her hand.

The pink-haired delinquent girl stared, mouth agape, completely mesmerized.

Be nice!

What kind of divine spear technique is this?

This is a top-tier ranked game!

I was just dancing around on the sidelines the whole time, making mistakes, missing shots, and refusing to heal myself.

This guy single-handedly withstood a full-strength enemy squad and wiped them all out?

Xie Lingmo was truly convinced this time.

This guy's got something special.

Her eyes lit up, and seeing the bags all over the floor, she thought of an even more infuriating idea.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing furiously.

A line of eye-catching text immediately popped up in the lower left corner:

Bee Doctor: [Bro, great gun! Awesome! Half for each of us!]

As soon as she finished typing and sent the message, she immediately controlled the bee doctor, who had made no contribution from beginning to end, and made it plunge into the pile of bags.

He lowered his head and started showing off.

Purple armor, gold helmets, modified guns—whether they're useful or not, they stuff them all into their backpacks.

While stuffing food into her mouth, Xie Lingmo was still giggling foolishly.

"You're going to be furious now."

Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

The only sound in the gaming room was the hum of the computer case cooling fans.

Bai Li let out a long breath.

I leaned back in the large gaming chair, my tense nerves finally relaxing.

Clearing this map was really difficult, but thankfully we got it all done.

Under the table.

With two faint "whooshing" sounds.

Zhang Qian gently patted Bai Li's thigh twice with her small hand, and Bai Li knew that Zhang Qian was asking if he was ready.

"Alright. Come out now."

Bai Li's voice had a unique lazy and husky quality.

Zhang Qian crawled out from under the table, using both her hands and feet.

This blue-haired delinquent girl is incredibly alluring right now.

Her face was flushed and her once-delicate eyeliner was smudged by sweat, giving her a wild look.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her rosy lips with an extremely alluring gesture, glancing at Bai Li with a sly look in her eyes.

Seeing the bags scattered all over Bai Li's computer screen, Zhang Qian clapped her hands happily.

"Big brother, you're awesome! All these bumps on the ground are mine now!"

She swayed her slender waist as she sat back down in front of her computer, eagerly preparing to "eat buns".

The moment Zhang Qian gripped the mouse and controlled her character, who had been AFK, to come running out, the smile on her face instantly froze.

She watched helplessly as that thug with the ID "I'm beautiful and pink" was frantically licking the pile of spoils that Bai Li had just taken down!

Forget about the golden armor and purple headdress, they didn't even leave her a medical kit!

"Holy crap?" Zhang Qian immediately panicked, almost jumping out of her chair, pointing at the screen and shouting:

"Dude...look at him! This slacker teammate in our random queue is stealing the bag!!"

Bai Li was currently in a relaxed state, still carrying a lingering sense of pleasure.

Startled back to reality by Zhang Qian's shout, his body instinctively trembled slightly.

He forcefully suppressed the tingling sensation, sat up straight, and refocused his gaze on the main screen.

The idiot medic who hadn't fired a single shot from start to finish, who not only didn't heal but also deliberately left his footsteps exposed,

Without any qualms, they were piling the fattest supplies onto themselves, with the shameless phrase "half for each person" hanging in the lower left corner.

This scene made Bai Li blush.

What kind of teammate is this?

Pure and simple living bodhisattva who comes to offer sacrifices and cause trouble!

Enraged, Bai Li pressed the microphone button for the team's voice chat without hesitation.

The irritable male voice traveled through the internet and directly into Xie Lingmo's luxurious mansion in Yunshi, into her top-of-the-line noise-canceling headphones worth 20,000 yuan.

"You ate it just because you packed it?!"

"ah?!"

Bai Li had an extremely loud voice, and immediately launched into court proceedings, unleashing all his power:

"Playing a mediocre healer, you just laze around and wait to die the whole time! You don't use your movement skills when I tell you to, and you pretend to be dead when I tell you to heal!"

"Can't talk, can't finish off opponents, just keeps causing me trouble from behind!"

"You're faster than anyone else at snatching bags now!"

"All you care about is eating, huh?!"
