Join the ServerYingning was uncertain. She didn’t know if her answer would provoke the other.
But the response was unexpected.
“Awesome! Finally someone answered me like that! Oooh, so exciting! Has someone finally developed immunity to me? You guys are great! I’m really rooting for you!”
Looking at Yang Ye’s expression, her joy seemed genuine.
So celebrities have their own troubles, too? And this celebrity didn’t seem annoying at all…
“Alright, the award ceremony ends here!” Yang Ye let out a sigh of relief, placed her hands on her hips in a petulant manner, and wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead.
What? Award ceremony? Was that supposed to be an award ceremony?
Facing a bewildered me and Yingning, Yang Ye offered no explanation, standing with her hands on her hips and chin raised, completely unapologetic… What a lazy person! She didn’t care at all about her public image, so capricious that it was hard to complain!
“Can we go now?” I asked.
“Stay and chat with me for a bit. It’s been a long time since someone wasn’t nice to me like you are. Your sister likes me too, but she’s a rational fan… Though it might sound shameless to say this, it’s true that I haven’t had a normal conversation with anyone in a long time…”
“Can I refuse?” I said with a bitter smile.
I didn’t want to get involved with a public figure like her. In my experience, public figures meant endless trouble.
“Of course you can. Actually, the main reason is that I saw such an outstanding fox-eared girl and wanted to make a friend…”
Making friends meant more trouble…
This girl was causing us problems, but she seemed unintentional, not thinking too much.
However, since Yingning and I had already gotten the collector’s edition album, getting through the crazed fans was another issue. Since that was the case, this easygoing person might be our way out.
Yingning quietly held my hand, obediently waiting for my decision. Whether I agreed or refused, she wouldn’t complain.
“This isn’t the place to talk,” I said with a smile.
“Thank you so much!” Yang Ye knew I agreed. This legendary figure, once so lofty in my imagination, now showed a joyful smile like a child. “Let’s go~”
Though seeing is believing, her talent was surprising, but her character amazed me even more—she was genuine, without the eccentricities of an artist or the arrogance of a big shot. This approachable nature must have brought her plenty of trouble, like being pestered by fans, but the fact that she maintained it earned my respect.
She was someone I clicked with. If she were just an ordinary person, we would definitely become good buddies.
Under the escort of a team of bodyguards, we arrived at a private room with a natural atmosphere. The walls were made of natural tree trunks with grain, and inside grew wooden chairs and a coffee table also made of logs.
On the floor, unknown flowers and grass grew from the wood. Even more magical, there were many live butterflies dancing inside the room!
“It’s a miracle, just like your music. I always felt it was beyond human reach. The opening ceremony of this carnival opened my eyes again.” Yingning and I looked around the room in awe, and I couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s done by the Plant Engineering and Architecture Department of Mira Academy. In the future, all houses on Earth will be replaced by such plant-based architecture… I’m looking forward to it!” Yang Ye also showed a hint of longing.
Mira Academy—its fame was second only to “Yang Ye” and “Pursuit,” known to everyone.
This academy was the highest institution integrating high technology, culture, and art, and also the developer behind “Pursuit,” in other words, the game official.
But that had nothing to do with us. Yingning and I weren’t about to start a school arc.
“By the way, do you play Pursuit II?”
“Of course I do! Only inhuman players wouldn’t!” Mentioning Pursuit II, Yang Ye seemed to open right up. “Let me tell you, this game is amazing! You didn’t experience our childhood anticipation for VR holographic immersive games! But the BGM scenes in Pursuit II are all produced by me, so sometimes it feels off… Speaking of which, recently that sword-sweeping bastard group stole my spawn point again. So mad! I’ll whale on them and kill them.”
“Hey! Speak of the devil, and here comes the progenitor of those sword-sweeping bastards…”
My mouth twitched as I looked in the direction Yang Ye was pointing.
The private room was diagonally above Hill Memorial Hall. With the large window, all the scenes in the huge hall were visible.
At the moment, the carnival was in full swing alongside the album release. Players queued to buy albums, and while waiting, they weren’t bored because a Pursuit II carnival activity was happening on stage.
The current segment invited major figures in modern gaming history. These were not game developers, but the more familiar guild leaders who commanded hundreds of thousands in-game and led players across the four corners!
“Now, we welcome—the legendary figure of Sword Sweeping the World, one of the world’s top ten guilds—Jiangu!”
Some cheered, some cursed—different factions, but it was equally thrilling for ordinary players to see such a big shot!
In the game, a guild leader’s status was like a king in reality. Given the importance of Pursuit II, Jiangu’s weight was self-evident.
In reality, Jiangu was a handsome and refined young man under thirty, dressed in a white robe like a lone swordsman, with trademark sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes identical to his in-game avatar.
Jiangu smiled and waved at the crowd, then sat down on stage, where several others were already seated. Some weren’t Asian; they were leaders of major guilds from the European and American servers.
Obviously, all these major guild leaders would appear one by one.
“Next, we welcome—the Ten Thousand Souls Hall, one of the world’s top ten guilds…”
The host’s words were cut off by a small figure rushing from the audience.
“Eeeyaaahhhh… Dog thief Jiangu, die! Return my little flower’s life!”
From his expression, Jiangu’s mind was in chaos.
Can’t this persistent ghost have some limits?
Is it that serious? Is it?
Chasing me from the game into reality!
“Shining through the distance… Hope from the darkness… Wait, this is reality, why am I chanting spells!” Jiangu involuntarily began chanting, then slapped his forehead, realizing he had been so traumatized by this pursuer that he’d gone mad…
This loli was toxic…
The little loli’s waist was grabbed by security guards who came over, lifting her up from behind.
“Eeeyah! Let me go! You lackeys of Jiangu!”
“We’re not lackeys, we’re security…” the guards explained, sweating.
“Lackeys! Lackeys lackeys lackeys! Eeeyaaahhh… Dog thief Jiangu! I will return!”
“Really, we’re security…”
