Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Fourth Time 188

Editor: Noodletown Translations

Mu Fan made money for the first time in his life on the PO Battle Net. Unexpectedly, after a random match, someone tipped him, and even left a message asking to add him as a friend. So, Mu Fan added without hesitation.

“Big Egg Man!” As soon as Mu Fan accepted the friend request, he immediately received a voice message from someone with the nickname “Beautiful Girl Nuonuo.” The voice was clear and pleasant, and surprisingly, it was a girl. Her tone was excited, and her opening words left Mu Fan dumbfounded.

“…I…” Mu Fan was at a loss for words for a few seconds. Should he say he’s called Egg Lord? That would be even worse.

“That’s not my name.” Mu Fan finally managed to say, causing Wang Nuonuo, who was listening, to burst into laughter, rocking back and forth. It was hilarious! This guy was so goofy, just like his mecha.

“You’re very skilled! In the end, you really followed my instructions and knocked that weakling mecha flying, impressive!” Wang Nuonuo’s voice message seemed like a compliment, but it was actually full of praise for her own divine prediction.

Mu Fan really couldn’t keep up with this girl’s train of thought. Out of respect for the 188×3 Star Coins, he had to grit his teeth and listen.

He clearly used his most familiar maneuver to intercept the opponent’s retreat. Unexpectedly, he threw his alloy sword effortlessly, and he had never practiced with the rapid fire gun on his back. Black hadn’t mentioned anything about long-range shooting to him; it seemed like he had always been on a melee path. Helplessly, he charged with his shield. Fortunately, his mecha was heavier than the opponent’s, and he managed to knock it over.

Now, in the mind of this imaginative girl, his instinctive reaction was interpreted as a perfect tactic.

“Barbaric Charge!! Is that what this move is called? I’ve been on PO Battle Net for so many years and I’ve never seen such a valiant combat style.” Thinking of the scene just now, Wang Nuonuo was excited again. It was too thrilling! It was right up her alley! But hearing the voice just now, it didn’t match the person she imagined. Shouldn’t someone like this be a burly, carefree uncle with a boisterous tone?

Why… did the voice sound so young!?

Completely unaware that the girl on the other end of the conversation was already letting her imagination run wild, Mu Fan didn’t know how to respond to the “Barbaric Charge” either. No, he wasn’t going to make money this way; it was too exhausting, more tiring than the battles themselves!

“Uh, is there anything else? If not, I’ll continue to queue.” Mu Fan chose to give up.

“Master, let’s play together!” Wang Nuonuo’s voice shifted to one full of disappointment, transitioning from joy to sorrow so naturally that Mu Fan started reflecting if he had said something wrong to hurt her.

“How can you treat a girl like this?” So ungrateful—first she tipped him three times, and then he just walked away so decisively!

“How should I treat…?” Mu Fan answered weakly, not wanting to reply, but considering this girl had tipped him three times, she could be classified as a customer at the Martial Arts Hall. He had to treat customers well.

“You… you should let me finish speaking first. That’s basic respect for me!” Wang Nuonuo said with full justification. She had never seen anyone so lacking in manners.

“Okay, go ahead.” Mu Fan, not arguing, replied to his wristband while standing in a corner.

“Master, let’s play together once! How about we duo queue! I’ll use long-range, and you go in for melee. I think you’re qualified to be my partner,” Wang Nuonuo said, her carefree nature revealing itself. It was hard to believe such an exquisite beauty could lack even a bit of ladylike demeanor.

“No.” Mu Fan was here to practice his Step Skill today, not to play. He still had a lot to do—Star Thief, major exams—none of which stopped swirling in his mind. How could he engage in games?

The sense of control over his mecha in that Dark Breath state needed further solidification.

“Uh…” She definitely met her nemesis. Twice now, she was rendered speechless. Not knowing what she thought, Wang Nuonuo tapped her finger and directly initiated a video call.

System prompt: Your friend “Beautiful Girl Nuonuo” requests a video call.

Refuse! Mu Fan directly declined.

System prompt: Your friend “Beautiful Girl Nuonuo” requests a video call. Another persistent request.

Mu Fan thought for a moment and decided to connect the call. Today had been strange; it was better to just respond.

The surrounding characters were instantly muted by the system, and so, apart from the chubby guy, the second person to video chat with Mu Fan appeared, “Beautiful Girl Nuonuo!” When a short, plump girl appeared in the projection, Mu Fan’s expression didn’t change at all. He merely found the bright eyes of this chubby girl in front of him rather pretty.

“Huh? You’re actually a handsome boy image, so different from what I imagined! This can’t be your real appearance, right? And you’re not disappointed looking at me! How unique!” Wang Nuonuo knew well her avatar’s image—something even she disliked! Look at those stubby legs, that round face, those pretty eyes… Well, she liked those eyes and didn’t change them.

“What is it?” Mu Fan asked, neither close nor distant, just calm.

He saw the girl in the video puff out her cheeks. Already round, now even rounder, and Mu Fan resisted the urge to laugh. He couldn’t be so casual with strangers.

“Big Egg Man! No one is at home today. They promised me a party but all went busy with their stuff. I’m really upset! Also, considering how I supported you just now, play a game with me.” The cute action of the chubby girl in the video made Mu Fan want to laugh. Not because she was ugly, but because her sincerity touched him. Mu Fan always had a soft spot for sincere people.

Wang Nuonuo was purely here for fun because she was bored. It was rare to find someone so entertaining—how could she easily let him go? Life’s a play; it’s all about the performance!

Mu Fan thought for a moment and then said, “No, I need to train; I have very important things to do.”

Wang Nuonuo’s fat girl character instantly showed a sulky face, “I’m so pitiful, nobody cares for me.” Peeking at the indifferent Mu Fan in the video, she mumbled, “Really, even if I pay, you won’t play?”

“Huh?” Mu Fan’s ears perked up instantly, “How much!?”

“188!” She randomly blurted out the amount she had tipped earlier, Wang Nuonuo huffed.

“Deal!” Mu Fan replied righteously.

“You… you make me so mad!” Wang Nuonuo was utterly defeated. The dignity of the little princess of Loki Heavy Industry was worth less than 188 Star Coins… This big, silly driver is even sillier! Why argue with a fool! Now she was frustrated to the point of fainting!

“Do we have a deal?” Mu Fan, hearing there was money to be made, chose to ignore the lonely reasoning of the chubby girl and agreed directly.

“Deal! You money grubber,” Wang Nuonuo grumbled, though her chubby face didn’t quite suit the angry mood. “Party confirmed, hurry up, let’s start matchmaking.”

“Oh…”
