"Really?" Huang Yan clearly did not believe it. But Yang Jiyan did seem to have suddenly become much better; the bubbles on her side were diminishing layer by layer, while her opponent's bubbles kept increasing.
"Whoa!" Huang Yan watched the computer screen in astonishment and excitement, her eyes wide open. "It's true! He's about to die!"
Yang Ce was manipulating the computer, and for Huang Yan to see clearly, she had to lean over this way, and in doing so her soft bosom inevitably brushed against Yang Juehuan's arm, bringing Yang Puqi a strange sensation.
Yang Ce glanced at Huang Yan's chest, then at Huang Yan's excited face, and truly did not know what to say. He had seen oblivious people before, but never one so oblivious—and it could no longer even be described as oblivious. How should he put it? Put nicely, it was innocence; put bluntly, it was foolishness.
At last, the bubbles on the opponent's side filled the screen, and the game ended. Yang Ce had won.
Huang Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shrieked, "I won! I actually won! I beat Little Fox Fairy!"
"Little Fox Fairy—what is that?" Yang Moyi was somewhat baffled.
"She's a Bubble Shooter expert! She's already at the Bubble Martian level. I've challenged her before and never won—not once. Today is the first time!" Huang Yan was so delighted she was practically dancing.
Yang Ce looked at the opponent's nickname. It was indeed "Little Fox Fairy," and the rank was "Bubble Martian." Although he did not know whether a "Martian" was more formidable than a "Mentor," seeing how Huang Yan was beside herself with joy, he guessed it probably was.
"Lele, you cheated! You used a cheat, didn't you?" the Little Fox Fairy sent a private message on the computer screen.
"What does 'cheat' mean?" Yang Ce rarely played these things, so naturally he did not know the jargon.
"It means a game hack." When Huang Yan saw it, she snatched the keyboard back at once and typed, "Who used a cheat? Don't talk nonsense. What, can't stand losing?"
"It's not that I can't stand losing. Why were you about to die before, and then suddenly you got good?" the Little Fox Fairy shot back.
"Heh heh, it's a secret." Huang Yan glanced at Yang Puqi, then typed.
"I just don't believe it. How about the two of us go to the Xiaoxin Game Hall and have another match?" the Little Fox Fairy said, unconvinced.
"Fine, let's go. Who's afraid of you?" Huang Yan typed back.
Huang Yan opened an icon on the desktop called "Xiaoxin Game Hall." This was a newly released game hall; its contents were much the same as those of QQ Games and Lianzhong Games, only it had not been around long, and no hacks targeting it had yet appeared on the market, which was why the Little Fox Fairy had specified this place for the match.
Huang Yan deftly logged into his account, found "Little Fox Fairy" in his friends list, and pulled her into a private room. The match began.
Huang Yan pushed the keyboard toward Yang Puqi. "Your turn," he said.
Yang Jincong took the keyboard with a smile and began to duel Little Fox Fairy with rapt attention. She had insisted up and down that Huang Yan was using a cheat program, but this time she did not dare slack off. Cheats of that sort did exist, but Little Fox Fairy knew full well that no cheat, however good, was anything more than a program; it could never match the intelligence of a human brain. A cheat might hold its own against an ordinary player, but against anyone at Bubble Tutor level or above it offered no advantage at all—it would only get you killed faster. And she herself was a Bubble Martian, after all.
Yet to her surprise, this time she lost even more miserably. A moment ago she had held out for a long while; this time she was dead within minutes. Furious, Little Fox Fairy fired off a stream of "angry" emojis.
