Chapter 116: Revenge of the Thousands

Translator: Kingbao Editor: DarkGem

Yao Si didn’t like Qu Ze. Besides, who would have a good impression of someone who had cheated them? Also, this was the second time he had cheated her, so it was unforgivable!

“Your Highness, you have no idea how much—eh? Your Highness, what are you doing? No, no, no, let’s be civil and talk it out! No, not the face! It hurts, hurts, hurts…”

Yao Si had launched her attack straight at his face, which resulted in Qu Ze’s cries resonating throughout the whole field. She stopped only when his smiling face was disfigured beyond recognition.

“Since you look like you were itching for a beating, I decided to grant your wish!”

“Yooour Highnassss…” Qu Ze slurred, holding onto his swollen face while tears welled up in his eyes. “You’re so evil! Little Qu Ze has been hurt…”

“Say another word if you dare!” Yao Si lifted her fist threateningly while grinding her teeth. She didn’t mind giving him another beating.

“No, no, no…” Qu Ze jumped, wiping away nonexistent tears. “Aii… After so many years, Your Highness, you have changed. You are no longer that innocent little cutie.”

“Get lost!” Did he mean to say she deserved to get tricked? “Speak, why did you get the three of them to kidnap us?”

“Us?” Qu Ze glanced at Bai Yi in confusion, then squinted his eyes. “Eh? There’s an additional freebie. Your services aren’t too bad!” He turned to nod at the three kidnappers in satisfaction.

“…” Three kidnappers.

“…” Bai Yi, the freebie.

“E-elder!” Bai Yi inhaled, going forward to greet Qu Ze. He was the extremely detestable and notorious elder that was constantly mentioned by older generations. Due to his popularity, every time bloodlings wanted to scare their young cubs, they would definitely use this line: If you don’t behave, Elder Qu Ze will kidnap you!

Because of that, he became a traumatic part of every bloodling’s childhood. Yet it was still the first time Bai Yi had seen him in person. He was a little frightened, subconsciously hiding behind Yao Si.

She didn’t seem to notice his action as she continued to glare at Qu Ze. “Hurry up and answer me, what’s your motive?”

“Your Highness, you’re too much,” Qu Ze said indignantly. “How could I have any ulterior motives when I respect you so much? Am I such a person in your heart?”

“Yes!” Yao Si nodded without hesitation.

Qu Ze’s lips twitched, his indignant expression cracking as he laughed awkwardly. “Your Highness, you must still remember the incident from before! Ai… let bygones be bygones! I sought you out this time with a sincere heart.”

“Sought?” Yao Si smirked.

“Eh… Haven’t I been here for a long time? I’ve been incredibly bored, and recently I thought of you. That’s why I got the three of them to bring you here.”

Yao Si continued to smirk. “You really expect me to buy that?”

“I’m telling the truth, I really missed you!”

“And I really want to bash you up!” She raised her fist up once more.

What to do when an Elder does something wrong? What happens when an Elder misbehaves? They need to get a good beating!

“Don’t, don’t… Wait a moment! Your Highness… Noooo!”

When the violence erupted, the three kidnappers huddled together in a corner, trembling as they glanced at one another nervously. Taking in a deep breath, they all inched toward the door discreetly.

“Masters, you all can chat! We’ll be leaving now!” Without another word, they ran to the door, shutting it behind themselves.

Yao Si’s heart sank and she turned in a hurry, but it was too late; the aircraft was already in the air. In less than a second, it disappeared, leaving only the three of them behind.

“…”

F*ck!

“Eh! That was fast, they didn’t even ask for their money!” Qu Ze stared at the aircraft while sighing. “Such benevolent people, leaving without giving their names after doing such good deeds!”

“Qu! Ze!” What conscience! He had deliberately latched onto her so the aircraft would leave them behind.

Without the aircraft, how could she go back? The bastard was always bringing her trouble.

“Your Highness, don’t worry, actually—” Before he could continue, an explosion erupted in the air, and a black dot appeared far ahead. On closer inspection, it was an aircraft flying back toward them.

Yao Si’s spirits lifted; they just needed an aircraft! But just as she was about to head forward, the explosion could be heard again, and the single black dot multiplied… In less than a minute, the sky was littered with flying objects. Compared to the miniature aircraft from before, the newcomers looked like they were much more prepared for battle.

Yao Si had an inauspicious omen. Something wasn’t right.

“Qu Ze! What have you been doing here all this while?” She glared at him.

“They aren’t from Nirvana,” Qu Ze replied innocently. “Nirvana is a game plane, but we haven’t officially entered it yet. We are currently in the welcome area!”

“Who are they?”

“They could be players that left the planet previously. There aren’t many people here, and as an NPC, I didn’t see many live ones, only chancing upon them once in a while. Thus, I might have gone a little overboard.”

Yao Si stiffened. “You fought against them before?’

“It isn’t that serious. It was just an ordinary interaction between NPC and players, an opportunity to exchange pointers.”

“You mean… they are here for revenge?” Judging from the crowd, you must have offended many people!

“Hehehe…” He smiled arrogantly. “I seldom come out, so that’s why…”

F*ck! She knew it!

More battleships gathered in the sky. In less than a minute, black dots littered half the sky. How many people did he offend? Some of the aircraft had already begun their attack, their guns aiming in their direction.

Yao Si felt her heart fall. Grabbing onto Bai Yi, she bolted forward frantically!

“Run!”

Just as she expected, the ground behind them erupted from an explosion, mud and gravel rising into the sky with the stench of something burnt. Yao Si in the meantime ran relentlessly; her life was at stake!

“Your Highness, enter the mystical barrier! They won’t be able to follow,” Qu Ze shouted as he pointed to the front. With a slight buzz, he ran past her.

F*ck! He was so experienced at escaping that even his speed seemed to have been specifically trained for that.

Yao Si glanced in the direction he had gone. There was indeed a transparent wall surrounding the forest there, separating the two areas into two worlds.

Explosions behind her continued to rumble, the noise increasing in intensity. Several times, the lasers brushed past them. Yao Si then turned to look at Bai Yi, signaling for him to head toward the wall after her.

There was a splash as though she had passed through a water curtain. The next moment, she seemed to have entered a vacuum, all the noise and rumbling outside were silenced. It was just like another world. The chaotic noise had turned into the silent night with occasional bug melodies.

She turned to take a glance back. The battleships were still there, but were blocked by the mystical barrier. Even their attacks couldn’t seem to penetrate the barrier!

Many of the aircraft had landed. People had come out of them and were pointing toward Qu Ze while shouting in fury. Even though Yao Si couldn’t hear them, she was sure it wasn’t pleasant.

“Ahh, that was close!” Qu Ze dropped onto the floor as he panted. “The mystical barrier is the safest after all. If it wasn’t to welcome you, I wouldn’t have gotten out at all. Your Highness, aren’t I good!”

“F*ck you!” She was going to get killed because of him one day. She rolled her eyes, her anger reaching its highest point. She opened her optical computer to look at the map, in search of the player service center. Grabbing the confused Bai Yi, she declared, “Bai Yi, let’s go!”

“Eh? Your Highness, where are you going?” Qu Ze bolted after her.

“Going home!” Even though Nirvana was huge, it was just a game planet for the celestial race. Even if there weren’t any aircraft, as long as they reached a service center and clarified their situation, she could return home.

“Your Highness, you can’t go back now.” Qu Ze shook his head.

Yao Si froze. What did he mean?

Just as she was about to ask him about it, her optical computer buzzed, showing some red words.

[Nirvana system installation complete!]

Yao Si’s heart sank. What was that Nirvana system?

“Your Highness, only registered players can enter the mystical barrier to start the game,” Qu Ze explained in a cheerful voice. “In order for you two to enter the mystical barrier, I replicated my system into both of your optical computers.”

“You mean… we’re now players in Nirvana?”

“Your Highness, you should know that when I was exiled, I became an NPC! How could I have the player’s system.” His smile grew more radiant.

“…”

“You guys aren’t players but NPCs!”

“…”

“And NPCs are not allowed to exit the game!”

“F*ck, he needs a beating!”

If she didn’t bash him into a ball, she wouldn’t be called Yao Si!

–

Yao Si felt her frustration rise. After being kidnaped so abruptly, she was now forced into being an NPC. Even though the NPCs in Nirvana were every bit like a person with a high level of freedom, it didn’t change the fact that she was trapped.

She headed toward the customer service center, but indeed, there was only an NPC in that place. Regardless of what she said, it did not believe that she was a bloodling, treating her mechanically as it had been programmed.

According to Qu Ze, the game company had an employee come down for a check only once a month.

This meant that Yao Si was stuck for a month! Everything in the game was closed off, so she wasn’t even able to contact anyone.

Once again, she felt the urge to beat Qu Ze into a swollen ball.

But there were more pressing matters, like the vengeful players.
