After logging out of the game, Yi Tianchen felt a slight headache.
He removed his helmet and massaged his temples for a moment. Once he felt a bit better, he let out a long sigh. Due to the head injury he sustained, it was only natural that he still felt some pain after spending an entire afternoon in the game.
Soon after, Yi Tianchen faintly heard a voice outside the door; it was Liu Yuhan. He was slightly taken aback, surprised that Liu Yuhan had logged off so early. He opened the door and saw her sitting on the sofa in the lobby, talking on the phone.
“Tianchen…” Upon noticing Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan quickly said a few words before hanging up. She then softly said, “Dinner is already ordered and will be delivered in twenty minutes. How are you? Is your injury… affecting your gameplay? If it’s too much, you should take a break and wait until you’re healed.”
Yi Tianchen walked over and sat down beside her, gently replying, “Don’t worry about me; playing the game doesn’t affect my injury. I just logged off because there wasn’t much to do in the game right now!”
“That’s good to hear! But if anything happens, you must tell me right away, okay?” Liu Yuhan seemed slightly relieved, revealing a charming smile as she continued, “Are you getting used to the game? The combat professions are quite different from life professions. If you’re not used to it, don’t rush; just adapt slowly.”
“Everything is fine!”
Yi Tianchen nodded, but inside he felt a hint of bitterness, his gaze flickering with a slight struggle. Stepping in front of Liu Yuhan, he said with utmost seriousness, “Actually… there’s something I need to confess… I am…”
“What is it?” Liu Yuhan asked with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, causing him to momentarily freeze.
With an awkward smile, Yi Tianchen shrugged and said, “I’m afraid you won’t believe me!”
Liu Yuhan blinked curiously, sensing that her driver seemed a bit different today than usual. She asked in confusion, “Why wouldn’t I believe you? You haven’t even said it yet; how can you assume I won’t believe you?”
“Alright! But you must be mentally prepared…” Yi Tianchen finally made up his mind and said, “I am Lutian Shafa!”
Liu Yuhan: “……”
"See? I knew you wouldn't believe me!" When Liu Yuhan chuckled after Yi Tianchen's speechless moment, tears streamed down Yi Tianchen's face, his expression one of "I knew this would happen."
"You are Lutian Shafa? The former God of War?" Liu Yuhan said incredulously, giggling, "If you are that God of War Lutian Shafa, then I must be the Rebellious Blood Blade!"
"Come on! The Rebellious Blood Blade is a guy, okay?" Yi Tianchen lamented through his tears. "Fine, if you don't believe me, that's alright. I'll prove it to you soon."
Yi Tianchen was well aware of the Rebellious Blood Blade. He was the President of the War God Hall and currently ranked first on the Dream Celebrity Rankings. Interestingly, before losing his memory, Yi Tianchen had faced off against the Rebellious Blood Blade several times without a clear victor.
Liu Yuhan covered her mouth and laughed lightly before saying, "Tianchen, don't you think I believe you?"
Yi Tianchen feigned anger, crossing his arms and sitting stiffly on the sofa. "But your expression has already betrayed you, young lady!"
"Really?" Liu Yuhan giggled but quickly fell silent again.
In truth, when Yi Tianchen claimed to be Lutian Shafa, Liu Yuhan's heart trembled. She had always kept an eye on the God of War who had suddenly disappeared three years ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made an exception to keep Yi Tianchen in the studio three years ago.
However, over the past three years, Yi Tianchen had played the role of a dispensable casual gamer. His dismal performance repeatedly proved to her that this person she had kept around could not possibly be the God of War who once dominated China's online gaming scene.
Gradually, Liu Yuhan had drawn a clear line in her mind. Hearing Yi Tianchen suddenly claim he was indeed the former God of War Lutian Shafa made her wish it were true. Yet, recalling all the moments from the past three years, she quickly dismissed that thought.
In that instant, Liu Yuhan felt a bit dazed, hoping everything was real. Deep down, she understood that Yi Tianchen was just trying to comfort her to prevent her from losing confidence and courage in what seemed like an impossible bet.
Yet there remained a significant difference between "looking like" and "being."
Half an hour later, the other members of the studio logged off one after another. The dinner that Liu Yuhan had ordered had also arrived and was laid out on the table.
There was pickled fish, farmhouse stir-fried pork, jade vegetable rolls, taro and rib casserole, yellow braised chicken, stir-fried greens, along with a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, plenty of rice, and three bottles of beer with one bottle of juice.
"Wow! With beer and meat, this feast is fantastic!" Li Tielong patted Yi Tianchen on the shoulder and sat down beside him, chuckling as he asked, "Tianchen, how's the game going?"
"Pretty good!" Yi Tianchen nodded slightly.
Before long, Mu Wanqing and Lin Yan also took their seats. They praised the table full of dishes and poured themselves glasses of juice. As for the beer, that was Li Tielong's specialty. As the designated driver, Yi Tianchen wouldn't touch a drop, especially since he was still nursing an injury.
"Take your time, you two; no one is going to snatch it from you!" Liu Yuhan said as she sat down. She poured juice for herself and Yi Tianchen and smiled, "Come on, let's toast to the rise of Mist of Time!"
"Cheers..." Li Tielong was the most enthusiastic.
Afterward, Liu Yuhan set down her glass and said with a smile, "Now our studio can be considered officially launched. While we eat, let's share what we've been up to in the game!"
"I'm level 5 now, playing as a priest with the ID Night Unending in newbie village 00616!" Mu Wanqing proudly lifted her chin and puffed out her chest.
Yi Tianchen was momentarily taken aback. All magic classes have no skills before they change jobs; to level up, they can only rely on others for help. However, after a moment's thought, he understood. With Mu Wanqing's tall and graceful figure, it was clearly impossible for her not to have anyone helping her.
"I'm also level 5!" Li Tielong chuckled as he downed a glass of beer and said seriously, "I'm still playing as a knight, focusing on a pure tank build. My ID is Li Tielong in newbie village 00128."
"I've reached level 6, and my class is Assassin. My ID is Yuyanran, and I'm in newbie village number 00293!" Lin Yan said with a shy smile, then asked, "Sister Yuhan, what about you? You should be close to changing classes, right?"
"It's still early. I just reached level 7 before logging off!" Liu Yuhan replied calmly after taking a sip of soup. "I'm currently ranked thirty-ninth on the Level leaderboard. The thirty-six ahead of me are all level 7, and only the top three are level 8. This time, my class is different from before; I chose Archer, and my ID is Light Cold Evening Snow!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianchen was surprised again. As a prominent player on the Dreamland Battle Network's celebrity list, Liu Yuhan's skills were indeed impressive. Being ranked thirty-ninth on the Level leaderboard was already quite remarkable. After listening to Liu Yuhan's statement, Yi Tianchen immediately thought of that mysterious crossbow.
Unfortunately, the words "sealed" were too troubling!
"Tianchen, what about you? What level are you? What's your ID?" Seeing that Yi Tianchen seemed to be lost in thought, Mu Wanqing asked with a cheerful smile.
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly and didn't hide it. He replied calmly, "Level 8, my ID is Falling Leaves!"
"Falling Leaves? The Falling Leaves who is first on the Level leaderboard?" Li Tielong exclaimed in shock, staring at the calm Yi Tianchen in disbelief.
Hearing this, Liu Yuhan and the other girls also froze in place, looking at Yi Tianchen with a mixture of shock and incredulity in their eyes.
Yi Tianchen gave a bitter smile. "It seems... yes!"
