My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

“No, that’s not right either…” Bai Xiuyue suddenly frowned and denied something.

"This is so strange...so strange..." she muttered to herself as she paced back and forth in the room.

"Are you really... still alive?" This was probably the first time Leng Yihan had truly asked a question, and as soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xiuyue stopped in her tracks.

"That's right, I knew something was wrong. I'm not a complete being anymore, just a fragment of a soul that was contained by that guy." Bai Xiuyue suddenly had a look of realization on his face, snapped his fingers, and untied the ropes binding Leng Yihan.

"That guy?"

"Yes, the entity behind the oracle, that guy is..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anything more." Leng Yihan quickly stopped Bai Xiuyue, clutching her head in pain. "I've received too much information, my head is a complete mess right now."

"Okay, so all you need to do is deal with one person, right? What does he look like?"

"You want to help me?" Leng Yihan asked.

“No, I should say I’m helping myself.” Bai Xiuyue said, grabbing Leng Yihan’s arm with one hand, and teleported to the high sky above the Tai Chi platform they had just met.

After the two left the specially made room, the broadcast returned to normal, and viewers could continue watching from Leng Yihan's perspective.

Can you see it?

Leng Yihan didn't reply. Her eyes quickly scanned the crowd below, and she soon spotted a girl mixed in with the crowd, holding a stick.

“That one.” Leng Yihan described the general features and pointed to a general location, and Bai Xiuyue found Mu Chengfeng.

"I won't help you kill her. (You'll have to kill her yourself.)"

"May I borrow the Tai Chi platform? (Do you mean I should go to the Tai Chi platform and take care of her there?)"

"Go. (That's it, you understand, so hurry up and go.)"

The parentheses contain what the two wanted to express. Bai Xiuyue released his hand, and Leng Yihan fell vertically. But she didn't panic. She timed her landing triple slash perfectly and successfully became immune to the fall damage. At the same time, Mu Chengfeng was also thrown onto the Tai Chi platform by Bai Xiuyue.

"I'm curious how you suddenly got such a powerful NPC to help you..." Mu Chengfeng complained. Bai Xiuyue was too strong; she was captured without any ability to resist.

"There's no special help involved, it's just to drag you into a fight with me." Leng Yihan finished speaking and drew her katana.

"Let's resolve this quickly!"

82 Kitahara (1)

Putting aside the fact that Leng Yihan's situation is completely overwhelming, there's really nothing to say about it.

So, let's watch a match that can be considered a close contest, and this duel is between familiar faces: Tianhuo, ranked fourth on the God Ranking, versus Pojinglei, ranked tenth. A duel between two mages... who knows, it might turn out interesting?

Speaking of Po Jinglei... after being tormented by Leng Yihan, he was tormented by Lin Yin, and then by Leng Binglan. Now, he's toned it down a bit and isn't as arrogant as before. He also knows that he doesn't have much of a chance of winning against Tianhuo, so he'll have to rely on the power of the NPCs in the game map...

This match will be a 1v1 BO5 format, and your opponent will be randomly matched.

[Confirmation complete: All players have finished their match and are now being matched with opponents.]

[Match complete. Player who had a bye this round: Blue Moon. Your opponent is: Skyfire.]

[Starting random map generation...]

[Map confirmed: Kitahara]

In the far north of the world lives a group of humans who are uniquely gifted, able to learn magic that ordinary people cannot, and also possess immense physical strength.

Their average IQ is around 180. Every child in their race would be an absolute prodigy in the outside world, but here they are just ordinary people. This group is called the Northern Plains People.

However, all of this undoubtedly comes at a price. Nothing is priceless. Every person in the Northern Plains faces an extremely cruel trial. From the moment they are born, they are cursed by the gods. On their twentieth birthday, the people of the Northern Plains will face the test of a heavenly tribulation. Those who survive will become stronger, and they will experience a heavenly tribulation every five years until the moment of their death.

The chance of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation on their first attempt is virtually zero, and they cannot receive any external support; otherwise, the tribulation would only intensify. Fortunately, their reproductive capacity is not bad, just like that of normal humans, so the Northern Plains people are not yet facing the danger of extinction. Moreover, many ancient monsters have emerged within their race, capable of protecting the entire race from peril.

[You, a wanderer who came to the Northern Plains seeking fame, were attacked by native magical beasts and nearly lost your life. If it weren't for the kind people of the Northern Plains, you would already be dead. You were in a deep coma, but now, you have awakened...]

[Note: This map is a special map in the new mode. In this map, you will play as a wanderer who has come to the Northern Plains. You cannot use any of the original character's skills and equipment until you complete the side quest.]

That was what Po Jinglei heard. When the system finished speaking, the endless darkness that had enveloped Po Jinglei dissipated, and the first thing that entered Po Jinglei's eyes was the girl who was looking at him boredly by the bedside.

"Ah, you're awake. Would you like some porridge? By the way, my name is Yan hope. I'm the maid of Bei Hui, the eldest daughter of the Bei family's branch. When the eldest daughter saw you being attacked by a magical beast, she kindly saved your life and asked me to take care of you until you recover." Yan Xi explained the ins and outs, but Po Jing Lei didn't reply. Instead, he was trying to organize the long passage the system had just spoken. But to the audience, it just looked like they were staring blankly at a beautiful woman.

This match had live chat, and the battle between Po Jing Lei and Tian Huo was a highlight match specially arranged by the official organizers, so most viewers saw what Po Jing Lei looked like.

"Brother Lei! Calm down! Don't lose your senses just because you see a pretty girl!"

'Oh no, Lei is hopelessly infatuated with this girl! Is there any chance of winning this game?'

'But this is truly a feast for the eyes, so many beautiful women to see... Hehehe, I... cough cough, I lost my composure.'

"Aren't the comments above going too far? I'm on your side, did I say anything?"

That's roughly what the bullet comments were about.

"Um... could you please stop staring at me like that? It's the first time a boy has stared at my face for so long, I'm a little shy..." Yan Xi nervously brushed her snow-white hair from her forehead, her big brown eyes unsure where to look.

"Excuse me." Po Jinglei had already sorted out his thoughts and realized that he had been staring at others. He quickly looked away from the person's face, and his heart involuntarily quickened a little.

Oh no... That's totally adorable!

Po Jinglei suddenly sat up, startling Yan hope, who was standing beside the bed. Yan Xi took several steps back, her eyes filled with panic, and one hand unconsciously went to her chest, causing the male audience and a few female audience members to scream again.

It's understandable that Yan hope was frightened. He had been staring at her face for a while, then suddenly a look of attraction appeared in his eyes, and then he suddenly sat up, which naturally startled Yan hope.

"Ah...ah, I'm so sorry, I just wanted to sit up, lying down is a bit uncomfortable." Po Jinglei hurriedly explained when he saw that Yan hope seemed to have misunderstood him.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry..." Yan hope realized she had misunderstood after hearing this, and her pretty face flushed as she bowed to Po Jinglei.

"No, no need. I sat up without saying anything. It's not your fault!"

Hahaha, Lei Ge, your image has collapsed!

'Where's the rough, sweaty guy you were promised, Lei Ge?! You've turned into an innocent little boy!'

'A Discussion of Lei Ge's Love History.'

'I guess I've fallen for NPCs after all.'

The preceding punctuation is very important!

"Right, right, porridge! Plain porridge and some vegetables. You're injured, so even if you can sit up, don't move around too much. It's a favor to help me, otherwise Miss will punish me..." Looking at the clumsy girl in front of him, Po Jinglei couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "Um... I don't know if it's okay to ask this, are you from Beiyuan?"

Yan Xi stopped moving, but this moment was very brief. She quickly placed the porridge on the table beside the bed.

"Hmm... well, I guess I wouldn't call it that."

"Does it... count as?" Po Jinglei looked at Yan hope curiously.

"Come on, I'll feed you and talk to you at the same time."

"Huh?" Po Jinglei stared at Yan hope in bewilderment.

"No, no, I'm a grown man, how can I let a woman feed me..."

"Girl, please let Brother Lei go! This is Brother Lei's last shred of dignity! Let me do it!" (Comment from the live stream)

"Well... that's fine too, but I won't talk about it anymore~" Yan hope put the porridge back on the bedside table, crossed her arms and looked at Po Jinglei.

Po Jinglei's eyebrows twitched. When had he ever been threatened by a woman? Yan hope was the first. If he could use his character's skills right now (which he had just confirmed), he... he would still be threatened and wouldn't take action.

"Brother Lei, if you won't come, I will!"

'Brother Lei, if you won't come, I will!!!'

The live chat exploded, with viewers watching "Skyfire" over there rushing to see a beautiful woman on the other side of the screen.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead and talk." Po Jinglei knew that at this point, the comments were either saying "If you don't come, I will" or "I want to hear Yan Xi talk about himself." He was sacrificing himself for the public good! Sacrificing himself for the public good!

"Hmph, that's more like it. I'm not bad looking, am I? Why are you so hard to accept?" Yan Xi snorted twice, looking strangely smug, and picked up the bowl of porridge. The porridge looked quite cold now, but it was ready to eat.

"what……"

"Okay, okay, you tell me, I'll eat." Po Jinglei opened his mouth and ate it, chewing very slowly, also to give Yan hope time to tell the story.

At this point, the system provided another way out for Po Jinglei: the main and side quests that had just been refreshed.

The main questline has been refreshed.

Let's find a way to turn back into 'Thunderclap'!

The side quests have been refreshed.

Listen to Yan hope's story.

"Well... actually, I'm not from Beiyuan, or rather, I'm only half a Beiyuan person."

"My mother was an ordinary human. After arriving in Beiyuan, she was attacked by monsters and was rescued by my father, who then became a maid in the household."

“Although my father was married, my mother was just as beautiful as his legal wife. In the end, something that shouldn’t have happened still happened one night, and then I came into being…” Yan Xi’s eyes dimmed as he said this, but he didn’t stop feeding Po Jing Lei.

"My father didn't know my mother was pregnant at that time, and my mother tried her best to hide it. Originally, my mother wanted to kill the life in her womb, but in the end, she still kept me..."

"This matter could not be hidden in the end, and it was discovered by my father and his wife..." Yan hope's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, and he stopped feeding the porridge. "The exposure of this matter did not have a good impact on my father either. In addition, my father's wife's family held high-ranking positions, so my mother and I were bound to die anyway..."

“But…” these words were spoken by Po Jinglei, “you survived.”

"Yes... I survived because my father pleaded for me. My father asked Miss Bei Hui to intervene. My father had done Miss Bei Hui a favor in the past. With Miss Bei Hui's intervention, the final conclusion was that I could survive, but my mother..." Yan hope said, and a tear fell into the porridge as a starting point. Then she couldn't control herself anymore and tears kept flowing.

"Why...why does Mother have to die...can't they just spare our lives? Is saving face really that important..." Yan Xi burst into tears, her petite body trembling uncontrollably. Po Jinglei, however, was helpless. He didn't know what to do. He was just a rough man with little education and no experience in love. He had made girls cry many times, but how to comfort them...sorry, he had never experienced anything like this before.

If Po Jing Lei could see the comments at this point, things might be a little better, because there are already many 'love experts' in the comments offering advice to Po Jing Lei.

'Brother Lei, carry him up! Carry him up!'

"Yes! Carry him up! Carry him up!"

"Are you guys going to kiss her too? Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do that, the system won't let me."

'Hmm, if possible, I think we could do it this way.'

"Don't cry... I'm sorry, I should have been more forceful and insisted on eating the porridge." Seeing Yan hope cry for a while, Po Jing Lei couldn't bear it anymore and could only try his best to comfort Yan hope.

"Pfft... What does this have to do with you eating porridge earlier...?"

“Everything needs to be addressed at its source. If I had chosen to eat it myself, you wouldn’t have brought it up, and you wouldn’t have cried because of those sad things.”

"What kind of logic is that...?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Upon hearing Po Jinglei's words, Yan hope burst into laughter through her tears, even though her eyes were swollen and red from crying.

It seems there are no problems for now, but Po Jinglei dares not mention Yan hope's past again, fearing that Yan hope will cry again. He can only speculate on the remaining small part that Yan hope did not tell.

"Next, Yan hope should be adopted by Bei Hui, right... Wait, how old was Bei Hui at that time?! Was she some kind of old hag?" Hmm... Po Jing Lei's focus seems a bit off.
