Chapter 166: Download the Game

Shh!

Lin Zhi Jing gave a shush and Ye Xi'an instantly stopped all operations, crouching as if immersed, lowering his voice to ask, "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhi Jing pointed at the screen on Ye Xi'an's Light Brain and said, "Do you see those red footprints?"

"I see them, and I even heard the sound of someone walking," Ye Xi'an said, adding, "Does that mean someone's coming?"

Lin Zhi Jing raised an eyebrow: "You're pretty sharp; each footprint means a person, and by sight it looks like members of a whole clan are here."

"Stay crouched in the corner and don't move; watch me handle this."

Lin Zhi Jing said that and began to crawl on the ground, inch by inch moving toward the footsteps.

He reached the window and quickly spotted the group: four male characters forming a circle around a female, searching the area for supplies, likely to reach their hideout soon.

Ye Xi'an looked at Lin Zhi Jing's screen, saw the same group, and, too nervous to breathe, asked, "So many people—can you beat them?"

"You have to trust your husband."

After saying that, Lin Zhi Jing instantly operated the virtual keyboard, stood up, and sprayed fire at the opponent.

The opposing clan gathered together, making them easy targets, but they weren't harmless; after taking down one person, they quickly located Lin Zhi Jing's position and fired at the window.

Lin Zhi Jing tried to dodge, but there were too many enemies; a single hit was enough for him, and in the blink of an eye his avatar was knocked down, lying in a twisted pose at the window.

Ye Xi'an: ……… "You said I should trust you."

Lin Zhi Jing also felt a bit embarrassed; the last time he played was thirty years ago, and it seemed these people's gear had been upgraded, while he was still using a thirty‑year‑old setup. "Uh, I was careless. Run quickly; they're about to arrive."

Ye Xi'an, helpless, could only carefully stay away, but the opponents lifted a teammate and swiftly entered the room where Ye Xi'an was.

Lin Zhi Jing, anxious, asked, "Do you want me to help you control?"

"No! I'll play by myself!"

Ye Xi'an hid behind the door, right in a blind spot, but after the group came in and looted Lin Zhi Jing's supplies, they turned and still spotted Ye Xi'an.

"Huh, it's a female."

Ye Xi'an's heart jumped; she considered whether to fire, or perhaps try to negotiate?

She opened all mics: "Hi—, you guys…"

Before she could finish, a cascade of gunfire rang out, killing Ye Xi'an beyond any possible death.

"Damn! These guys are even whipping corpses!" Ye Xi'an stared at the clan still spraying at her box on the screen, her lungs burning with anger.

"Their gaming etiquette is terrible; they're the most annoying when playing," Lin Zhi Jing frowned, silently noting down the clan's name.

"Wife's biggest clan," Lin Zhi Jing sneered, waiting for his gear to upgrade to see how he'd kill them.

"No." Ye Xi'an couldn't swallow the words: "I want revenge. Can we schedule a duel in this game?"

"Of course, but can you beat them?"

Ye Xi'an launched another match: "I can't win now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to later."

She's been grinding her skills these past two days; when the time comes, she'll single‑handedly wipe out the clan.

Lin Zhi Jing patted Ye Xi'an's head: "You really are different now."

Ye Xi'an was startled, turned her head to him: "Why do you say that?"

"Think back—if it were the old you, would you instantly think of revenge when bullied?"

Ye Xi'an imagined her former self and instantly recognized her change.

If it were the old her, she probably wouldn't even dare to let out a sigh when killed, but now she's so brave.

She cracked a smile; she had to admit she liked her current self better.

"Hmph, the old me would certainly have taken revenge; I've always been this heroic."

After they respawned, each round averaged less than five minutes, and sometimes they died the instant they landed.

"It's not Lin Zhi Jing, what about your skill?"

Lin Zhi Jing's forehead was already sweating; how were these people so good? Their supplies at home were nearly exhausted.

"I'm just familiar with the controls."

Ye Xi'an scoffed: this game is so unfair—there's no player matching, and the two of them constantly run into clans of five, six, even seven or eight, how can they fight?

Unless Bao Jing and the others also play.

Thinking that, Ye Xi'an hurried downstairs to gather everyone in the living room.

Ji Jiangci swiftly claimed the spot to Ye Xi'an's right, pressing close to her.

On the left was naturally Lin Zhi Jing.

Bao Jing, displeased, sat opposite Ye Xi'an, while Yi Yang casually found a seat and sat down.

"I want you to do something very important."

Ye Xi'an's expression turned serious, and everyone sat upright immediately.

"I want you to download a game called Deadly Police! Then go with me and wipe out the clan known as Wife's biggest clan!"

Bao Jing: ……… He still wonders what's going on.

Ji Jiangci, knowing Ye Xi'an wouldn't casually ask to mess with others, asked, "Did they bully you?"

"They whipped my corpse!"

Yi Yang sprang up: "That's too much! I'm going down now!"

Everyone started downloading the game; when registering accounts, Ji Jiangci asked, "Wife, what's your name? Let's pick a couple's nickname."

Bao Jing and Yi Yang also perked up to listen.

"My account is called Little Leaf."

So Ji Jiangci chose the name Little Ji, Bao Jing went with Little Bao, and Yi Yang chose Little Yi.

Ye Xi'an: "Are you sure you want to name yourselves like that?"

After registering, they applied to join Little Leaf's clan.

"The family has no name?" Ji Jiangci looked at the family column on the page, which displayed a random string of numbers, clearly the system default.

"Now it does," Ye Xi'an, thinking of the name she was about to give the family, couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's the beautiful girl and four eunuchs family, poof!"

Ye Xi'an really couldn't hold it in and laughed loudly.

"What is a eunuch?" Seeing Ye Xi'an laugh so happily, Ji Jiangci thought eunuch was some funny term.

He couldn't even find it by searching Light Brain.

"If you don't know, fine," Ye Xi'an said as she entered "Five-Member Family" in the family column.

Lin Zhi Jing leaned over: "Isn't it called the beautiful girl and four eunuchs?"

"If you want to be eunuchs, I won't stop you!"

Ye Xi'an clicked confirm, and the family name was thus created.

She also redefined Five-Member Family as one wife and four husbands.

"Shall we arrange a battle now?" Ji Jiangci asked.

Ye Xi'an calculated in her mind: the opposite side has five people, they also have five, but this technique seems not very effective.

"You practice for an afternoon first; we'll arrange a battle tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

In one day, Ye Xi'an's family gathered in the living room to play the game, mastering the controls, and Ye Xi'an even spent money in the game, buying a set of clothes for each person.
