Online game: Mistakenly became a female character, started by slaughtering millions of chickens.

But as the blinding white light disappeared and I took off my helmet, a strong feeling of dizziness struck me again.

It was already bright outside the window.

"Is it almost noon...?" Su Yu rubbed his aching temples, his whole body protesting.

After more than ten hours of intense mental connection, all he wanted to do was collapse and sleep.

"Gurgle..."

My stomach let out an untimely protest.

Su Yu sighed, dragged his heavy steps to the table, tore open the last bucket of braised beef noodles, and poured in boiling water.

During the three minutes of waiting for the instant noodles, I leaned back in my chair, my mind in a state of blissful emptiness.

Last night's crazy night felt like a dream.

More than 5,000 health points.

At this stage, when the server has just opened and everyone only has a few hundred points of health, this is definitely a bug-level existence that will make all data enthusiasts question their existence.

Just as Su Yu lifted the lid of the instant noodles, preparing to enjoy this belated breakfast—

Buzz—buzz—!

The phone on the table suddenly started vibrating wildly.

The screen lit up, and two large characters appeared in the note: [Wang Pangzi].

Su Yu frowned.

Wang Hao, his best friend and frenemy, is a rich second-generation heir who owns several buildings and collects rent from them. He is also a typical otaku and anime fan.

"Feed?"

Su Yu answered the video call, slurping noodles as he mumbled, "So early in the morning, is it a funeral?"

"Old Su! Stop eating your noodles! Something terrible has happened!"

On the other side of the screen, a round face that filled the entire frame was flushed red with excitement:

"I'm in love! This time it's for real! I'm completely smitten!"

Su Yu rolled her eyes and calmly took a sip of soup: "You said the same thing last month, that your boyfriend was some borderline streamer on Douyin next door, but it turns out he's bigger than you."

"Get out of here! Don't mention that rotten stuff!"

Fatty Wang waved his chubby hands, his face solemn and sacred: "This time is different! This time it's a real goddess! All natural! No plastic surgery! That delicate, broken feeling... oh, you wouldn't understand!"

"Quick! Look at the screen sharing I sent you!"

Before Su Yu could refuse, the phone screen switched.

A high-definition video, edited and presented to you, appears.

The background music is a sad and beautiful song called "Snow Flower".

In the scene, the moonlight is as cold and clear as water.

A young girl dressed in coarse linen clothes stood alone in a field littered with corpses.

The camera zoomed in, showing the girl's long hair disheveled and plastered to her cheeks, her cold eyes unfocused as she mechanically wielded the rusty longsword.

Slow motion playback enabled.

The girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes gazing blankly into the distance.

The accompanying comments flooded the screen: "These are tears left behind by the gods on earth..."

"puff--!!!"

The mouthful of noodle soup that Su Yu had just taken a sip of turned into a fountain, spraying all over the screen.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

He coughed violently, almost choking himself to death.

Isn't that me?!

And what's with this background music? And what's with this slow motion?

He was just so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open and was spacing out! How did it get edited into "tears left behind by the gods"?!

"How is it? How is it?"

Fatty Wang was completely oblivious to Su Yu's unusual behavior, still engrossed in his explanation:

"Old Su, look at those eyes! So melancholy! So lonely!"

"She was killing chickens there all night long! All night long! And they were level 0 monsters!"

"Those idiots on the forum are laughing at her for being stupid; they just don't understand!"

Fatty Wang looked heartbroken, wishing he could jump into the screen: "She must have suffered some heartbreak or a huge blow in real life to choose this self-destructive way to numb herself... It's so heartbreaking."

Su Yu wiped the noodle soup off the screen, his lips twitching wildly.

God is heartbroken.

I'm doing this to stack up blood! To make money!

"that......"

Su Yu took a deep breath, trying to rouse her friend with a rational voice: "Is it possible that he's simply... practicing some kind of hidden skill?"

"impossible!"

Fatty Wang interrupted decisively: "Look at her clumsy knife-wielding posture, she's obviously a weak girl who can't even kill a chicken! How can such a clumsy beauty survive in this cruel game world?"

At this point, Fatty Wang suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fierce anger:

"No! I can't just stand by and do nothing!"

"I've made up my mind! She's the woman of my dreams, and I will marry no one else in this life!"

"I'm going to find her in starting village number 9527! I want to be her personal knight! I want to marry her and make her my Daoist partner! Anyone who dares to bully her, I'll bury them in money!"

"Also, I need to lose weight!!!"

Su Yu: "..."

At that moment, Su Yu felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head.

Looking at his brother's face on the screen, filled with deep affection, he felt for the first time what it meant to feel suffocated.

If this guy knew that the "soft girl," "silly beauty," and "dream wife" he was talking about were sitting across from him eating instant noodles right now...

The scene was too beautiful for Su Yu to imagine.

People will definitely die.

Either he dies, or Fatty dies; one of them is bound to die.

Or perhaps...

Su Yu shuddered, swallowed hard, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Old Su? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you also stunned by the goddess's beauty?" Fatty Wang asked when he saw Su Yu in a daze.

Su Yu snapped out of his daze, forcibly controlling his facial muscles and adopting a cold, expressionless demeanor.

Using all his acting skills, he slowly uttered a few words:

"...Yes, I wish you happiness."

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words! Once I win your heart, I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"

Fatty Wang hung up the video call with a smug look on his face, probably in a hurry to go find someone...

beep - beep -

The room fell silent once more.

Su Yu sat stiffly in the chair, holding her phone, and even the braised beef noodles in her hand didn't taste good anymore.

a long time.

He managed to squeeze out a low, muttered soliloquy through gritted teeth:

"Wang Hao..."

"If you really dare to come looking for me... I'll definitely kill you first."

To protect my brother's fragile heart and my own innocence, this secret must remain buried deep inside!

Su Yu fiercely forked up a lump of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, turning his grief and anger into a desire to eat.

Eat, then go to sleep!

When I wake up, I still have to go back to being that unlucky, silly beauty in the game.

I just hope... I don't run into that fatso in the newbie village.
