My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Everyone, get dressed and get ready for class!"

After our last dodgeball game, the teacher said that after everyone changed their clothes and returned to the classroom, there would be a short class meeting, plus Friday's big cleaning, and then school would be over, and we would begin another two-day holiday.

5:50... I need to hurry back, that girl has probably been hungry for a while...

After quickly packing their things, the two left the classroom as usual.

“Um… Yihan…” Lin Yin suddenly spoke up halfway through the journey.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I want to ask you what you want for tomorrow's ladder competition?" Although she noticed Lin Yin's change of heart, Leng Yihan didn't press for details. She would tell her what she wanted to say. That was Leng Yihan's thinking.

"Sigh... I guess I'll have to face a bunch of challenges again," Leng Yihan said helplessly.

The Ladder Tournament is open every Saturday night from 20:00 to 22:00. During the tournament, players on the Human Ranking, Earth Ranking, Heaven Ranking, and God Ranking can challenge the five players ranked higher than themselves. If the challenger wins, they will exchange rankings with the challenged player. However, if the player ranked first on the Human Ranking wants to advance to the Earth Ranking, they must first be challenged five times without losing before they can challenge the last player on the Earth Ranking, who is ranked 99th.

Who among the top 6 on the God Ranking doesn't yearn for the number 1 spot? Fortunately, the rules stipulate that the top 6 on the God Ranking must first be challenged once and successfully defend their position before they can challenge for the number 1 spot, and each person only has one chance. Otherwise, Leng Yihan might really be exhausted.

"Go for it! This is a good opportunity to practice for the competition on July 17th!" Lin Yin said with a smile. Although she was ranked 24th on the God Ranking, the pressure was still considerable.

"Yeah, you keep it up!"

The two parted ways at the intersection, and Leng Yihan took out her phone to take a look.

It's already 6:21... I need to hurry.

I ran to the VR game store and bought a game launcher for Oracle. The launcher was a helmet-like device. Although it cost 3000 yuan, the prize money I could get from playing games was much more than that.

The oracle had already been installed inside. After packing it into a cardboard box, Leng Yihan rushed home.

"I am back!"

Because there was an extra person in the house, Leng Yihan called out to them when she returned.

He got home at 6:53, but he wasn't particularly worried that Leng Binglan would be hungry, since she knew how to cook.

But when she pushed open the door, Leng Yihan froze in front of it.

The girl sat in the entryway, her big eyes looking pitifully at Leng Yihan who had just entered.

"Hey? Why are you sitting here?" Leng Yihan asked in confusion as she walked into the entryway, closed the door, and put her things down.

But as he stood up straight, Leng Binglan threw herself into his arms.

"Hey?! Wait, Binglan, what's wrong... Don't cry..." Leng Yihan felt the girl's sobs and her mind went completely blank.

Wait a minute, I didn't do anything, why is this little one crying?

“I thought you didn’t want me anymore…” Leng Binglan raised her head, her eyes still a little red, but the height difference between the two was not particularly large, so Leng Yihan did not need to lower her head.

"Oh, no... I'm so sorry I got home so late today. But didn't you say you wanted to play Oracle last night? I just went to the store and bought the starter, that's why I'm so late... I'm sorry!"

Leng Yihan lifted the cardboard box in her hand, letting Leng Binglan see it.

"...Don't come back so late next time. I don't need to miss one more day of fun..." Leng Binglan's sobs gradually stopped, but her eyes were still red.

"And... I'm so hungry..." the girl added.

"Hey?! You can cook, can't you?"

"My cooking isn't as good as yours... I want to eat your cooking," Leng Binglan said, her whole demeanor brightening up after Leng Yihan's return.

"So go cook! This is part of my compensation for making me worry so much because you came home late tonight!" Leng Binglan took Leng Yihan's schoolbag and the cardboard box containing the VR game launcher from her hand, turned around and went into the house.

"Okay... wait a moment, it'll be ready soon~" Leng Yihan looked at the girl's back and felt a strange warmth in her heart.

In my room, which is usually empty except for myself, there seems to be a touch of vitality amidst the endless loneliness.

It took me 30 minutes to cook dinner. I simply stir-fried some vegetables and meat, and scrambled eggs, plus some white rice. That's all for dinner tonight.

When the dishes were served, Leng Binglan was sitting on the sofa looking at the instruction manual for the starter.

"Get ready, all tidied up!"

After serving the girl her meal, the two began their usual dinner.

"I'm starting!"

It's actually a bit unusual. Usually, I'm all alone in the house, not saying a word. I cook, serve the dishes, and eat them quietly by myself.

Now that there's a little girl around, it feels much more lively...

"Why are you staring at me like that... Focus on your food!" Leng Binglan noticed that someone was watching her, looked up at Leng Yihan, and kicked him.

"Okay, let's finish eating quickly, then take a shower and change into pajamas, and then we'll go play Oracle." Dinner was quickly finished, and after the two cleaned up the dishes, they took showers one after the other. When Leng Yihan finished showering and came out, Leng Binglan, who had already changed into pajamas, was fiddling with the Oracle game launcher.

"Binglan, you need to bind your ID card to play Oracle. Do you have an ID card?" Leng Yihan asked. Although she felt that it was highly likely that this guy didn't have one, she couldn't rule out the possibility that he did.

"Yes!" With that, Leng Binglan put down the starter in her hand, ran into the room, and came out a short while later with a blue wallet.

"Luckily, you only threw my clothes in the washing machine and didn't wash them, otherwise something bad would have happened. I had this wallet in my pants." Leng Binglan said, taking out her ID card from the blue wallet.

Ah, yes, I did feel something in her shorts earlier, but I didn't pay attention because I was worried about Leng Binglan...

"Then what do we do?" Leng Binglan picked up her ID card and waved it in front of Leng Yihan.

"Give it to me, first take off your bun."

"Oh~"

The girl responded, then reached out to untie the bun she had just tied up.

Leng Yihan took Leng Binglan's ID card and glanced at it briefly. Born on August 15, 2020...

With that thought in mind, Leng Yihan inserted her ID card into a card slot next to the starter.

"Go into the room and find a comfortable lying position."

"Hey?! What are you doing?!" The girl cautiously stepped back a few paces.

"Don't get me wrong, because during the game your body is practically asleep. If you don't adjust your posture properly, you'll be in a really bad mood when you quit the game."

Don't ask me why I know so much; these are lessons learned the hard way...

Leng Binglan was about to ask why she knew, but seeing Leng Yihan's expression of being unable to bear recalling the past, she didn't say anything, turned around and went into the room.

Leng Yihan followed behind, carrying the starter. After the girl adjusted her position on the bed, she looked at Leng Yihan.

"Next, put on this helmet, then silently say 'start the game,' select the game oracle, and remember to keep track of the time. You must log off before 11 o'clock!" Leng Yihan instructed.

"Okay, I understand!" With that, Leng Binglan took the activator with anticipation and put it on her head.

"Game started!"

The girl closed her eyes and quickly entered the game, as if she had fallen asleep.

After Leng Yihan went out to make sure the door was locked, she took her helmet, lay down next to the girl, put it on, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and whispered something.

"Game started."

Then, an endless darkness swept over my entire body.

When I regained consciousness, I was already standing in the level 70 main city of the Oracle.

"Master! There's a message notification!"

A mischievous notification sounded, and when I clicked on it, I found it was from Lin Yin.

Voice quality: Where are you now?

Me: I'm going to create a new account. I'll add you after I finish the newbie quests. That's all, I'm logging off now.

Tone: Huh? Wait a minute!

With lightning speed, I switched accounts, and the world of the oracle around me turned into a white light, followed by complete darkness.

Two options appeared before me: one was LV.70 Extreme Cold, and the other was creating a new character.

Leng Yihan clicked "Create New Character" without hesitation.

Enter "Yiwei" as the name, and for the profession...

"What should we play this time...?"

Looking at the many professions before her, Leng Yihan fell into deep thought.

Playing a Priest... but I'm not really suited to the Priest class...

Still playing a mage? High damage output, but terrible mobility...

How about... playing an assassin? Pure burst damage, cooldown reduction, one-shot kill build, and high mobility too.

Thinking this way, Leng Yihan ultimately chose to become an assassin.

Assassin's Embrace, creation successful!

After selecting to enter the game, another question was asked.

Do you want to watch the backstory?

As a story-driven player, Leng Yihan chose yes.

After a flash of white light, it's a God's-eye view.

"Long ago...on the continent of Suruva..."

06 On the Unexpected Divine Interpretation and the Novice Assassin

"Long, long ago, on the continent of Suruva, the prosperity of humankind far surpassed that of today..." The narrator's voice was exceptionally hoarse, like an old man recounting the past.

"But one day, everything changed..."

"Humans all have seven emotions and six desires, among which is greed."

"Humanity was prosperous at that time, but it wanted to go further."

"The Holy Court, the strongest organization among humankind, has sent a group of people to search for the legendary ruins of the gods. Rumor has it that there are countless treasures there, and a way to easily dominate the world."

Then, because of this incident, humanity began to split... and wars continued to rage across the continent.

As Leng Yihan was thinking, the scene before her eyes shifted to a battlefield engulfed in flames and billowing smoke.

"And just when the Holy Court's people had found the relics of the gods, and everyone was going crazy for the treasure, the gods appeared..."

When Leng Yihan's perspective shifted again, what appeared before her was a huge, blurry image.
