Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife-Chapter 15: Only Cheng Jun could use such a refined reason.

Only Cheng Jun could use such a refined reason.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was speechless.

She walked to the doorway of Cheng Jun’s study and discovered that he was eating a bag of bear cookies. She heard the nonstop crunching. One of his hands was on the mouse and his character was running to and fro. There were hundreds of players behind him, and they followed him wherever he went. They all came to take a gander at him.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

The duel was nearing, yet he was lazily munching on cookies. She really wanted to show White Dragon Horse and everyone else what the so-called Chad was doing right now.

The game forum was about to explode.

“Newsflash—Jiu Jiu Jiu’s husband logs on!”

“Moon over the West River is piping mad for a girl!”

“Another weakling falls at Master Rem’s hands. Not worth watching. Absolute trash.”

“Livestreaming Moon over the West River’s duel with Reminiscence of the Past. Come quick!”

“I bet a pocky stick that this battle will be boring as hell.”

……

Today was supposed to be a weekday night, but once this news came out, quite a lot of players logged on to watch the show. From the time Dreamy Chant was released the game wasn’t super pay to win. The game was quite fun to play and all the players were busy grinding levels. Thus, most of the discussion was also about the game material or mechanics. There weren’t a lot of gossipy threads. Everyone was used to seeing scumbags online so they grew numb to most gossip.

Now that there was finally some juicy drama, the whole crowd was beyond excited. It involved some big name players, IRL issues, a love square, adultery, and the whole nine yards of soap opera plotlines. Some people’s imaginations were already running wild and visualizing a huge drama.

Today the crowd was beating the drums and waiting for the curtain to rise.

But one person in this whirlwind just so happened to be munching on cookies and another one just so happened to be silently watching the other person munch on cookies in a speechless stare.

Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly thought of something. Did Cheng Jun log on to vent for her because she had mentioned that she was too weak and couldn’t duel Light Breeze Bi Ying? Ruan Jiu Jiu appreciated his gesture. The only problem was… In a bit, Cheng Jun might suffer too big of a defeat. Ruan Jiu Jiu was afraid that he might be embarrassed to show his face again.

Munch munch munch.

Cheng Jun was nibbling through the bag of cookies like a hamster.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…” It’s like he didn’t even care.

Reminiscence of the past logged on yet didn’t respond.

By the time he knew what Xu Bi Ying had done, there was already no turning back. He didn’t even know how to apologize. He looked at the name of the player who was spamming him with duel requests. Moon over the West River. He wanted to laugh but he also felt a bit sick at heart.

He asked to borrow an account from Hoofs to the West and messaged Ruan Jiu Jiu.

Reminiscence of the Past: Tell Moon over the West River to stop. I’ll apologize to you for Bi Ying.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: Sorry, that’s my husband’s decision. If it’s something he wants to do, I have no way of stopping him.

He slightly furrowed his brows.

Reminiscence of the Past: I don’t want to worsen the situation.

Jiu Jiu Jiu: No worries, if he loses, he loses.

If Cheng Jun didn’t care, then she’d also treat it like some farce. At the very least, he had the courage to challenge a pro. Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly felt like Cheng Jun really had guts.

Moon over the West River was still spamming duel requests, and everyone was waiting for Reminiscence of the Past’s response. After so long without a reply, everyone thought that Master Rem was planning on ignoring such a small fry. The peanut gallery slowly dispersed.

Just at this moment, a world announcement popped up.

[Reminiscence of the Past has accepted Moon over the West River’s duel.]

Whoosh—

Master Rem accepted! Just then people were posting in the forum, saying that Master Rem was so godly and couldn’t be bothered with a noob. But they were proven wrong.

Players had ten minutes to prepare in the arena. People could spectate and their comments would fly across the screen. Players could enter the arena and spectate the competition. Before the two duelers even entered, the screen was covered in comments waiting for the popcorn.

From the time Dreamy Chat’s arena had been set up, it was a hot topic.

The requirements were as follows: The two PVP opponents had no level-based buffs, there would be no equipment buffs, gear above the red tier suffered a penalty that brought it down to be average. In short, the two opponents could only rely on their true skill to defeat the other.

To Reminiscence of the Past, PVP duels were the starting point of his fame.

Back when the servers had just opened, as a newcomer he had challenged a pro who had been playing since beta. When the crowd’s hooting had waned, he had relied on his own strengths to turn the tables in a beautiful display of skill. From that point on, it was like the name Reminiscence of the Past exploded.

Later, he had entered the arena a couple more times and won again and again without much effort. So in the entire game, he pretty much became the most well-known and powerful player among the pros.

Some people said that Moon over the West River was really a naive noob who didn’t know fear yet, and that he was about to make a fool of himself. Other people said that even if he lost, his actions were pretty ballsy and worthy of admiration since he was fighting for the sake of his woman, after all. In short, tonight was destined to be a night that left a glorious mark in the history of Dreamy Chat.

At the set time, the two players had finished equipping their gear and were automatically teleported to the PVP arena.

They were of the same warrior class, wearing the same long white novice robes. Their sleeves billowed in the wind and they stood tall and handsome. They each gripped identical bronze swords. If not for the different names hanging above their heads, it would be hard, at a glance, to differentiate between the two.

Reminiscence of the past really didn’t understand Moon over the West River’s way of doing things.

Even if Moon was trying to prove that he was a real man, he should have worn better equipment to not lose HP that fast. Reminiscence thought of what skills he should use to not make it too embarrassing for the other party.

The screen was chaotic.

“This is a battle of men!”

“Lord this is just too romantic. Lemme tag my hubby and show him what’s up.”

“I already foresee an ominous future…”

“Let’s see how Master Rem is going to let the other person lose with a bit of dignity.”

Everyone was clamoring. Ruan Jiu Jiu silently looked at the comments flying across the screen and didn’t know what to say. She just typed “You got this” to Cheng Jun. The guild chat was also exploding. Once the popcorn-eating peanut gallery saw that an involved party appeared, they held themselves back in respect. Quite a few people comforted Ruan Jiu Jiu and praised her, saying that her husband was really giving his best effort.

Ruan Jiu Jiu wasn’t the least bit panicked. Especially upon hearing the munching coming from Cheng Jun’s room, she was even more relaxed.

The game system softly beeped.

[Players, prepare yourselves]

[The countdown has begun]

[3, 2, 1, begin!]

The peanut gallery instantly quieted. Everyone stared at their screens without blinking, waiting for the show to start. In the center of the circle formed by the crowd, the two players remained standing calmly in their original spots. Neither moved so much as a muscle, calm beyond compare.

For a few seconds no one in the crowd said anything, until finally someone weakly sent out a line in the chat.

“Are they lagging?”

Reminiscence in the Past was originally planning to wait for Moon over the West River to make the first move, so as to not send out the first attack and wipe out half of his opponent’s HP bar. Unexpectedly, the other was as steady as a rock, as if saying “If my enemy doesn’t move, I won’t either”. This caused his patience to wear a bit thin.

Finally, Reminiscence of the Past moved.

He gracefully drew a powerful arc in the air with his sword, sending a sudden attack towards his opponent. Amidst the flashes of light, the originally lazy-as-a-salted-fish Moon over the West River unexpectedly also made a move! They could only see him nimbly dodge to the side at a speed that would make you dizzy, neatly avoiding Reminiscence’s attack. Before anyone could see anything clearly, the long sword in his hand suddenly vanished. When it next appeared, the sharp point of the blade pierced through Reminiscence’s back with a whoosh, shining brightly like a dazzling ray of light.

The HP bar above Reminiscence’s head instantly dropped by 25%.

Time seemed to stop.

The crowd of spectators were all stupefied, and the chat was deathly silent. Even one of their objects of attention, Reminiscence of the Past, froze in surprise, even forgetting to make a counterattack. Who knew what kind of expression he had on behind his screen.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “???” Just now, was that Cheng Jun’s attack? Why did she find it somewhat hard to believe?

This move was one of the warrior’s basic skills, Daybreak. People had used this skill countless times, and thus everyone knew its weak point and how to dodge it. Logically speaking, Reminiscence of the Past shouldn’t feel the least bit threatened by this skill.

It could only mean one thing to be able to hit Reminiscence of the Past and leave him shocked in place.

This random player named Moon over the West River had a much faster hand speed than Reminiscence!

The screen’s comments filled with shock and sighs.

“Haxxxxx”

“Wadafook he’s cracked”

“Where tf did this guy come from!”

“My god who saw that clearly? Someone godly pls explain.”

“I wanna see the slowmo but I’m afraid I’ll miss the next attack!”

In the middle of everyone’s shock, Reminiscence of the Past walked forward two steps, indicating that he was about to strike.

The warrior in billowy white robes suddenly leapt into the air. He drew his sword and in that instant, a million rays of silver light shot out like a blossom of needles. He charged forth! Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t even keep up with their movements. She only saw that Reminiscence had locked on to Moon over the West River. Her husband struggled once in a futile attempt before being completely cornered by his opponent’s chain of attacks. She only saw a screen of fireworks before Moon over the West River’s HP started rapidly dropping.

Then.

[Reminiscence of the Past has won the first round!]

The chat suddenly livened.

“Back then Master Rem had underestimated the opponent!”

“As expected, it was Master Rem’s mistake. Moon didn’t have any chance of fighting back!”

“A master is a master!”

The ass-kissing for Reminiscence of the Past was incessant. The guild members didn’t know what to say. Only Light Breeze Bi Ying had some words.

Light Breeze Bi Ying: So sorry Miss Jiu Jiu Jiu, my dear Remmie didn’t hold back

Ruan Jiu Jiu ignored her smug remark. A bit worried that Cheng Jun was feeling disappointed, she pushed aside her gaming chair to check on what Cheng Jun was up to. Coming out of the room, she instantly saw Cheng Jun coming back from the kitchen, with an opened bottle of Yakult in his hand.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “???”

Hold up, wasn’t he playing just now? When did he run off to the kitchen?

Only

Faced with Ruan Jiu Jiu’s shocked expression, Cheng Jun’s response was leisurely to the max.

He calmly said, “Ah, I ate too many cookies. I was a bit thirsty.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

So that is to say…

This guy left in the middle of the match to get a drink!

Author’s Note:

Ruan Jiu Jiu: You couldn’t have finished the match before going for a drink?!

Cheng Jun: I can but there wasn’t a need.
