Chapter 311 Previous Life
Xiao Qichen was completely absorbed in the story.

"Everyone has become an island, and can only communicate through a chat channel."

“Countless people die every day. Nationality and skin color make no difference here. Everyone has only one ending: death.”

"The boy has grown into a man. He has no family or friends and lives a muddled life, yet he gets through each day."

Clearly, so many people want to live.

But he alone seemed to have adapted to this world.

Every day is just fighting, fighting, fighting.
He doesn't need to think; he just needs to keep fighting.

Even if he were the only one left in the game, he wouldn't feel lonely.

Then one day, someone suddenly sent him a friend request.

Originally, Xiao Qichen wouldn't add friends casually.

But that day, for some inexplicable reason, he actually agreed.

The other party was Ning Yun.

Ning Yun was very excited to see her childhood playmate and talked for a long time.

But in Xiao Qichen's mind, only a few fragments of the stories she told him remained.

He reacted coldly to this, and Ning Yun probably thought that Xiao Qichen was doing it on purpose, so after adding him as a friend, she rarely sent him any more messages.

In one instance, Xiao Qichen's base was raided.

Or perhaps, they were already being watched by a gang.

They specifically target high-level players, using items to sneak into their homes and steal resources while they are in dungeons.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qichen's strength far exceeded their expectations.

The dungeon run only lasted half an hour, and I was out.

We ran right into them.

After a fierce fight, everyone except the leader who escaped died under Xiao Qichen's blade.

But this matter is not over.

The man who escaped was still in shock and dared not seek revenge against Xiao Qichen.

They started slandering him on the world channel, distorting the truth.

It is said that Xiao Qichen used props to enter other players' homes and commit murder and robbery.

At this time, Xiao Qichen was quite famous in the game because of the rankings.

Everyone knows he's a lone wolf and not someone to mess with.

Hearing that he could break into other people's houses to kill and rob, everyone was condemning him.

It was at this moment that Ning Yun argued his case on the channel, insisting that he was not that kind of person.

Even Xiao's father, the scourge, stepped forward to accuse Xiao Qichen of being utterly heartless, disrespectful to his parents, and instead expelled him from the group.

How ruthless can someone be who doesn't even spare their own father?
Gradually, everyone came to believe it and avoided Xiao Qichen even more.

Some even advocated isolating Xiao Qichen, refusing to do business with him, buy his things, or sell anything to him.

Many of these people are using the guise of justice to vent their resentment towards the wealthy.

Having been in the game for so long, their minds have long been filled with negative emotions.

They desperately hoped that these high-level players would suffer, or better yet, die.

Xiao Qichen had no friends in the game, so naturally no one would defend him.

Besides Ning Yun.

No matter what others said, she always believed in Xiao Qichen.

Because she always felt that Xiao Qichen's current coldness must mean something had happened.

She also firmly believed that Xiao Qichen must have had a reason for killing someone.

She even sent a message to Xiao Qichen to comfort him.

Xiao Qichen replied to her message for the first time, "Why are you speaking up for me?"

He had already committed murder countless times.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Those people provoked him first, and he killed them; they deserved to die.

But why would Ning Yun speak up for him?

Is this person a saint?

Xiao Qichen transferred a batch of supplies to her as a "thank you gift." He never owed anyone a favor.

Ning Yun, who was misunderstood, was not angered to death by those people, but she was almost angered to death by Xiao Qichen.

He grumbled as he accepted the gift, then deliberately replied, "That's all? That's too little. Aren't you supposed to be a big shot?"

Ning Yun was deliberately trying to provoke him, but Xiao Qichen took it seriously.

For several days in a row, supplies were delivered to Ning Yun.

Sometimes it's food, sometimes it's clothes, and sometimes it's even precious props.

Ning Yun thought he had gone mad. "Stop, stop, stop! I only said a few words for you. You don't need to give me so much."

Then, she seemed to recall a possibility.

"Have you finally recognized me?"

This time, Xiao Qichen replied to her message.

"I have lost part of my memory; I only remember a few fragments."

In his mind, there was Ning Yun as a child.

They seem to have a good relationship and are often together.

But Xiao Qichen was unfamiliar with this kind of feeling; he simply couldn't help but want to give the supplies he had to Ning Yun.

Anyway, that's always been his way—doing whatever he wants.

He never even considered how he would survive if he ran out of supplies.

For him, simply living was never the goal.

After that, Ning Yun and Xiao Qichen started chatting more frequently.

Or rather, it was Ning Yun who initiated the messages, and Xiao Qichen would only occasionally reply with a few words.

But seeing familiar faces in this unfamiliar world gave Ning Yun great psychological comfort.

She shares her experiences every day.

Gradually, Xiao Qichen realized that Ning Yun was very lucky.

At least, she's much better than him.

I could only get two pieces of wood from the box, but the other person could get two boxes of self-heating hot pot.

That's why she's been able to live peacefully to this day despite not being very powerful.

But as more and more people died, Ning Yun's mood was inevitably affected.

Sometimes, she would unconsciously complain to Xiao Qichen.

"I always feel that it would be better to die, to end it all, and save myself from living in fear every day."

One day, Ning Yun was overjoyed, "I adopted a pet, a very beautiful tiger, so majestic!"

"However, it's too badly injured; I don't know if it can make it through the night."

"I named it Xiaobai!"

"Little White can finally eat. We don't have to worry about it starving to death."

"Little White woke up, and it was so fierce! But thankfully, it didn't bite me. I secretly touched its fur; it was so stiff."

New companions have appeared by Ning Yun's side.

From then on, she always talked about Xiaobai, which made Xiao Qichen feel inexplicably irritated.

He refused to reply, but kept sending supplies to Ning Yun in order to prove that he was more capable.

However, this action led Ning Yun to misunderstand, thinking that Xiao Qichen also liked Xiao Bai, which was why he sent her food.

As a result, Ning Yun enjoyed sharing Xiao Bai's stories with Xiao Qichen even more.

For example, she and Xiaobai successfully formed an alliance and fought monsters and ran dungeons together.

For example, Xiaobai is very powerful; he can tear monsters apart with just one mouth.

Ning Yun and Xiao Qichen chatted almost every day, and sometimes, Xiao Qichen seemed to have a strange feeling.

It was as if Ning Yun lived next door to him.

Until one night, Xiao Qichen had a dream.

In his dream, he returned to his childhood, saw Ning Yun, and also saw the little moments the two of them spent together.

When I woke up again, I saw a message from Ning Yun.

"Xiao Qichen, I might not be able to hold on any longer."
