Chapter 280: Phenomenons in the Plane

“Indeed!” Shen Jing sighed, as if she finally recognised something. She walked over. “Something happened to you when you transmigrated, causing there to be weird changes in your body. All your body numbers have exceeded the limits.”

Shen Ying paused. Instinctively, she asked, “Haven’t I broken through several times?” Ever since she was five.

Shen Jing’s expression hardened.

“Alright, they’re weird changes. Go on.” Shen Ying covered her mouth.

“This time, the numbers are not increasing ordinarily.” Shen Jing lowered her voice. “It could be… they’ve crossed a certain line.”

“Then she’s eating so much because…” Lonemoon asked.

“Her body’s numbers have gone up. Naturally, she’s consuming much more energy. She’s always feeling so hungry because her body is sending signals that she needs to re-fuel.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying hesitated. “Big Sister, what kind of line did I cross?”

“I’m not sure about that yet,” Shen Jing replied, frowning. After awhile, she thought of something. “I have to go out and confirm something. You need to stay here for a couple of days. I’m extending your holiday until I come back with an answer.”

Holiday!

Shen Ying’s eyes twinkled. “Yes, Big Sister. No problem, Big Sister.”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Jing: “…”

The weird changes in her body was probably retardation!

Several days had passed since Shen Jing stepped out of the front door. In the beginning, Lonemoon was extremely worried and anxious. As time went by, he became increasingly bored.

“Father Niu, don’t you have to go to work?” Shen Ying asked as she chewed on a slice of cake.

“I already transferred the assets under my name to my family members yesterday,” Lonemoon answered matter-of-factly. “I was gone for so long and have become out of touch with how to earn money for the company. I thought it would be better to hand it down to someone more familiar with these things.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying suddenly thought about Invincible Sect’s treasury, which grew day by day. He had forgotten about how to carry on his business, but he had definitely not forgotten how to make money. “You transferred it just like that?” Was there no fighting within the family, and no competition between the brothers?

“What kind of expression is that?” Lonemoon glared at her. “If you have something to ask me, shoot.”

“Are you considered a bankrupt?”

Lonemoon pursed his lips, picked up the iPad and opened his own account. Shen Ying was blinded by the number of zeros she was seeing.

“I’m not managing the company, but I still get a bonus every year, alright?”

“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded. She pointed at the wok and asked, “Then why aren’t you ordering in? Why are you cooking?”

“…” Lonemoon’s hand that was holding the spatula froze. Shit, he forgot that there was such a thing in this world.

Wait a moment!

He turned to look at Shen Ying. “You freaking don’t want to eat my food, that’s why you’re saying this, right?”

“No.” She put on a serious expression.

“My ass!” If it’s not true, then don’t freaking nod! Who am I doing all of this for? Stop making it so obvious in your expression that my food is sh*t!

“Father Niu, I know a place that cooks really good food.”

“Get lost!”

30 minutes later.

“Father Niu, do you think there’s a chance that we can drag Chef into this world?”

“Don’t eat if you don’t want to!” Lonemoon glared at her. In any case, I’m not the one who’s hungry.

“…” Shen Ying sighed and dug in reluctantly.

She was missing Chef for the umpteenth time since she got back!

Lonemoon scanned the stock market lazily. In just a couple of seconds, he had made several million dollars. He put aside his tablet and began to feel bored almost immediately. A life where he did not have to manage a sect or clean up someone else’s mess felt so empty.

“Do you want to play?” Shen Ying pointed at her computer screen.

Lonemoon glanced at the game and gave her a dirty look. “You want me to die with you?”

“…”

“How can someone like you, who hacks my system on a daily basis, be so sh*tty at a game?”

Shen Ying lowered her head and thought for awhile before replying, “I’m just not used to these medieval operations.”

“Medieval?”

“In the past, I always played on the Star network.”

“Star network!” Lonemoon’s heart jumped. “You’re saying that even aliens play online games.”

Shen Ying turned to glance at him. “You want to try?”

“Can… Can I?” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. As an Earthling, of course he wanted to try games from outer space. What’s more, he used to create online games for a living. When Shen Jing helped them to check their body data previously, he already felt overwhelmed by the advanced technology he was witnessing.

“Hold on, let me hack into a Star network account for you.” Shen Ying turned back to her computer screen and began tapping on her keyboard.

“…” So she always relied on hacking in order to get online?

Shen Ying tapped for a while and picked a screen from nowhere. She worked on it for awhile as the tapping continued. A moment later, she stopped.

“It’s done!” She turned around and pulled a wristband out from one of her drawers. She handed the wristband over to Lonemoon.

“What’s this?”

“A simplified lightbrain.”

Lightbrain! What is that?

Before Lonemoon could think about it any further, he took the wristband.

Immediately, his vision blurred. The next thing he knew, he was in a white space. There was nothing but white space all around him. He could not even feel the ground underneath his feet.

He’s in the game? Did he not even need to choose a name or create a character?

He looked around and found that there was not a single other person in the room. Far away, there was a black dot that seemed to be getting closer.

“Shen Ying!” Lonemoon instinctively ran toward the dot. “What kind of game-”

Before he could finish speaking, a loud roar sounded from the other side. The entire room began to tremble. Lonemoon saw the figure for what it really was – a beast. It had eight long legs and was hairless. Its mouth took up half of its entire body. From time to time, a disgusting liquid would drip from its mouth. It looked like a beast straight out from horror movies, scarier and more disgusting than any of the demonic beasts that Lonemoon had ever seen.

Holy shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!

What the hell is this?

Lonemoon’s heart fell. He was already cursing Shen Ying repeatedly inside his heart. Turning to run, he realised he was already too late. The beast was travelling way too quickly and was already about ten meters away from him by now. It was obvious that his two legs could not carry him as quickly as the beast’s eight legs could

His mind was completely blank. I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead. How the hell does this game work?

He refused to die immediately!

The beast’s sharp legs were just about to stab him. Lonemoon had no choice but to roll away and avoid the attack. He found himself directly underneath the beast. There was an ear-piercing scream as the beast opened its huge mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth. It was biting down toward Lonemoon.

Lonemoon’s heart seized. There was a familiar warmth rushing through his body. He conjured a defensive fire seal and an inferno dragon charged toward the beast, attacking it right in the mouth.

Lonemoon heard a loud cry of pain. The beast which was as huge as a hill, turned into ashes.
