Gift Money (2)

“Forty-seven seconds.”

Xue Lan was anxiously mulling over the current predicament when the headset once again transmitted Duan Wenzheng’s nonchalant voice.

He was talking about Wen Yan’s revival countdown.

“That’s enough.”

“This…” He seemed to have glanced at Xue Lan’s game ID. The smile on his lips deepened. “Baby, replenish your health.”

His voice was very low, and that vague laugh brushed against the headset. Xue Lan’s face blew up in an instant.

Not because he was shy.

But because he was too embarrassed, he wanted to blow himself up.

BabyCandy, what is this absurdly shameful ID?!

As soon as Wen Yan arrived, he shot Xue Lan’s armor with bullets, reducing his HP by 30%.

Xue Lan was reluctant to use his skill. As he ate the medicine in a flurry, he found that in his backpack, there was still one more injection to continuously restore HP. Without thinking, he injected it into Duan Wenzheng.

Following his action, Duan Wenzheng’s muttering that sounded like confusion came through the headset.

The four enemies had charged to their floor. And two grimly confronted them.

Duan Wenzheng was on the stairs in the corner of the wall. He immediately crushed the health of the four people trying to force their way up. Seeing the unfavorable situation, they quickly retreated to a floor to restore their HP.

This kind of situation was anything but reassuring.

The four people relied on their numbers to force their way up to the floor. Now that the situation was unfavorable, they would undoubtedly want to stall after they replenished their health.

Having thought of Wen Yan’s revival countdown, Xue Lan hesitantly typed, asking—

BabyCandy: got a grenade?

“En.” Duan Wenzheng’s voice was still low and lazy as before.

Xue Lan immediately opened the map and marked a point.

BabyCandy: Throw it here.

Xue Lan wondered whether he should explain the reason for throwing the grenade there, but saw Duan Wenzheng had already pulled it open and threw it down the stairs at an artful angle.

It fell near Xue Lan’s mark.

Xue Lan also pulled open the grenade, throwing it down as his prediction.

System notice: Reset has successfully killed Luxinyao [grenade]

System notice: BabyCandy has successfully killed twofer [grenade]

System notice: BabyCandy has successfully killed Longtime211 [grenade]

System notice: BabyCandy has successfully killed Jun0324 [grenade]

Looking at the notice of the four enemies being wiped out, Xue Lan released a long breath.

“Holy shit!?” Xue Lan heard the voice of Fatty flinging down his headphones. Soon after, he seemed to have pressed against Duan Wenzheng’s microphone: “Sister, that was awesome!! Three kills!!”

Duan Wenzheng casually marked the enemy’s base, turned around and jumped out of the window. “Base.”

Xue Lan also didn’t think the pre-empt just now would get him three kills. Striding at a quick pace, he caught up with Duan Wenzheng and together they destroyed the enemy camp before the enemies could revive.

Seeing the pop-up victory notice on the screen, Xue Lan heaved a sigh of relief.

There was no need to think to know that the bullet screen at the side had boiled over. He shot a glance and, sure enough, the bullet screen was already filled with heaps of question marks and comments from fans claiming that “there are wins and losses in games.”

Now that the game was over, he finally had the time to figure out how to close the live stream.

He exhaled with relief when he was finally able to view the monitor without the bullet screen. His gaze returned to the game interface that had ended.

‘Reset.’

He belatedly thought…

Why did he transmigrate into the novel The End, and also became the cross-dresser “Xue Lan” who harassed the lead gong Wen Yan and always claimed to have a “defective voice”?

The game just now—

He couldn’t have remembered wrong. At the end of this game, Wen Yan should have won against Duan Wenzheng with overwhelming dominance. And soon after, Wen Yan would have instructed the team’s manager to get in touch with Duan Wenzheng and recruit him.

But now, that ending has changed.

Does this imply—he no longer has to care about some wretched plot?

However, he remembered something… At this point, the original owner had made it clear to his father that he was determined to play professionally. He then rose through the ranks in the youth academy and eventually entered LGW as a medic for Wen Yan. It’s just that later…

……..

But, putting it another way…

Did he finally have the chance… to play professionally?

Xue Lan gripped the mouse tightly. If he remembered correctly, the next storyline should be…

He was deep in thought when he heard a knock outside—

He quickly got up and opened the door. The person outside the door gave him a brief glance, not bothering to hide the look of detest. “I’ve submitted your data to the youth academy. It’s up to your skills to get into the club. You’re on your own after that!”

Following the messenger’s line of sight, Xue Lan just realized he was still wearing… a dress.

He hurriedly tore away the wig on his head. He normally didn’t talk much, so as he rubbed his tousled layered hair, he clumsily said:

“I’ll… work hard.”

“Don’t think that I don’t know what’s in your head. If you join the club just for that askew thought, just give up the idea of playing professionally!”

Xue Lan awkwardly lowered his head, not replying.

“LGW is lacking a medic now.” Seeing Xue Lan not arguing, that person’s tone eased. He snorted and looked away. “If you really get in the club, don’t say you’re my son!”
