Others are fighting hard but I am the first to show off. I am rated S?

Because not every ordinary person he mentioned has the courage to sacrifice himself for others at the critical moment like him.

Li Jing said that he was ordinary and had no talent or gift, but Liu Lingxue didn't think that was the case.

"Is it because of that girl?"

She looked into Li Jing's eyes, as if she had seen through his disguise, and asked softly.

"Is the reason you don't want to be my companion because of that girl?"

"Ah, I didn't expect you to see through me."

Li Jing spread his hands helplessly, looking like he had been exposed.

If one explanation is not satisfactory enough, then use another explanation to cover it up. Moreover, as a woman, Liu Lingxue should believe in such a reason more in her heart, right?

Not to mention that this was the "truth" she had deduced herself.

Xiao darling, it's time for you to play a role again!

Seeing the bitter smile on Li Jing's face, Liu Lingxue finally understood.

The reason why Li Jing was unwilling to accept her kindness was not because he was weak or cowardly, but because he would rather stay with the little girl than grow up and become stronger with her.

"you……"

Her voice paused, then softened.

"Li Jing, I think you should know the principle of one step ahead and all steps ahead."

Whether in life or in games, when you are ahead at the starting line even by just a small step, you will be ahead step by step from then on. The strong will become stronger and the weak will become weaker, and the gap will become bigger and bigger, leaving others far behind!

And now...

"Would you rather give up this opportunity to become stronger and stay with that girl?"

Liu Lingxue didn't believe that Li Jing didn't know what long-term benefits he would be giving up. Seriously speaking, this was even equivalent to him personally cutting off a future that could have become extremely brilliant and dazzling!

But Li Jing nodded seriously and firmly in acknowledgement.

"Yes."

"Li Jing, I hope you can rationally realize one fact. No matter how you feel about her, she is from this plane, and you only have seven days to be with her."

Seven short days, seven days without a future.

"I know."

"Then why?" Liu Lingxue looked at him in surprise.

"Because I promised her that I would be with her for the rest of my life."

"Although... it's a promise that is destined to be broken."

Li Jing turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the building.

"We players are just passers-by in this world, just like birds that occasionally fly across the sky, leaving no trace after a short glide."

"Even if you are just a passer-by, you have a life that belongs to passers-by."

"If the lifetime I can stay in this plane is only these short seven days."

Li Jing smiled gently and said, "Then I will have to accompany her for the rest of my life."

Outside the inpatient building, Xiaoguai, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people under the green belt, suddenly froze in his tracks and looked up at the blue sky above his head.

A lifetime of...

Agreement...

Suddenly, a bird flew across the sky, and a pink cloud floated lightly from the horizon.

She covered her heart, not knowing why it was beating so fast.

So fast.

in the building.

"I understand, if this is a decision you've made after careful consideration."

"Then I respect your decision."

She turned around and made a sword flower with grace and elegance. The sword energy like snowflakes pierced the core of the nightmare beast, bringing her a little more power.

"Goodbye, Li Jing. I hope to see you again one day."

Stepping over the corpse of the nightmare beast, her graceful and elegant figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

But there was a hint of regret on his face as he turned his back to Li Jing.

She didn't want to judge whether Li Jing's choice was good or bad, she just felt a little regretful.

Pity.

Originally, if he had accepted his kindness, he might have been able to excel in the next trial games, emerge, and become another ray of hope for mankind.

But he rejected such an opportunity, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

From now on, perhaps when she looks back, she will no longer be able to find Li Jing.

Because by then, the distance between them had been pulled too far, so far that his figure could no longer appear in her sight.

When leaving the hospital, she stopped curiously outside the inpatient building, took a close look at Xiaoguai, the little girl who made Li Jing give up his future and choose to stay, before leaving.

She is indeed pretty and cute, but there doesn’t seem to be anything special about her?

What made her feel a little puzzled was that during her brief gaze, this seemingly weak little girl suddenly glared at her fiercely for some reason.

That fierce look reminded her of the resentful look the little girl had when she took away her sister's favorite toy when she was a child.

But no matter what happened or what happened between this girl and Li Jing next, it probably has nothing to do with her, right?

She also had her own things to do and couldn't stay for anyone. Even if they encountered danger again, she couldn't help them.

So she could only silently wish them a blessing in her heart.

I wish you good luck in your future endeavors, Li Jing.

Goodbye.

At this time, Liu Lingxue didn't know that when she was wishing Li Jing good luck, real misfortune was already staring at her from behind.

Xiaoguai looked at her leaving back, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Her beloved toy was almost taken away just now.

This ungrateful woman should be given...

"Little cutie, are you still waiting for me here?"

At this time, Li Jing came down from the inpatient building.

"Brother Li Jing."

Xiaoguai immediately turned around, smiled, and walked forward to hold his hand.

"That amazing sister has passed away. Thanks to her for saving us this time. And also thanks to you, Brother Li Jing. If it weren't for you, I would have..."

She raised her head, her little face filled with emotion.

Yes, Brother Li Jing, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that you guys would have such a way to become stronger.

Kill the Nightmare Beast and gain source power.

Li Jing doesn't have time to comfort Xiaoguai now.

The ground is not safe at all. After Liu Lingxue left, who knows if another nightmare beast will wander over later?

He patted the girl's head and immediately took her away.

"Let's quickly go to the storage room and move all the supplies. Xiaoguai, no matter what, we absolutely cannot come out again in the next few days!"

Chapter 17 The situation ahead is very good

!

The two quickly moved their things and returned to the safety of the basement.

Looking at the familiar lights and ceiling, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

The task of organizing and packing the supplies was left to Xiaoguai, who collapsed onto the sofa and lay there.

Hey, let’s get started!

Seeing the genuine smile of relaxation and joy on his face because of his successful performance, many viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't hold back.

[Li Jing, Li Jing, even though I usually call you a bastard, but at such an important moment, why did you really choose to hide?]

[Don’t you know the importance of the starting line? You finally become a player who doesn’t need to rely on your parents, background or connections. Everyone starts from scratch. If you don’t seize the opportunity to fight for your future, when will you fight? ]

[Your parents named you Li Jing, probably because they hope that you can stand out in the future and see the scenery that others can't see. Why don't you go and face the nightmare beast to fight for fame and fortune, but stay here and do nothing? ]

[I get angry when I see him acting like a loser! ]

[There is a saying that standing at the forefront of the times, even a pig can take off! But Li Jing, this pig, not only didn’t know how to take off, but also ran into a tree! ]

[How can someone be so lacking in ambition and ambition and just want to live a miserable life? I am so angry that I won’t watch it anymore! ]

[Actually... I can accept it because I can continue to watch Xiaoguai, and Li Jing's choice is a bit cowardly, but it seems that we have no right to say anything, right? ]

[Everyone, I don't know why I always feel that Li Jing's choice is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I don't know why I have a vague feeling in my heart, a strange feeling that we are on the first floor and he is on the fifth floor.]

[Hey, Brother Dong, you're speaking again after such a long time of silence. Are you going to explain your funny analysis full of mistakes to everyone again? We are on the first floor and he is on the fifth floor. Do you also understand the theory of canyon relativity? ]

Although the comments in the live broadcast room were noisy, Li Jing just felt that the years were peaceful.

It's still too dangerous to be on the ground. It's not as comfortable as the basement. It's a pity that there is no iced cola or coffee. I can't get used to it.

This time, I must stay here until the main mission is completed successfully, and there is absolutely no way I can go out again!

You players can fight and quarrel with the Nightmare Beasts as you please, but don't involve me.

I can easily get 100 million source points by playing badly, how can I learn from you to fight hard to get a few source points? It's not worth it!

Moreover, my performance just now must have broken the defense of the few viewers who were still watching in my live broadcast room, right?

With such a cowardly and lackluster performance, most of the audience must have left, and there are only a few left. They may even come back to give a bad review after the trial game is over.

stable.

It’s as stable as a rock!

Li Jing happily imagined the scene of becoming invincible and punching and kicking the dead rabbit Xibi. However, for some reason, he felt inexplicably empty and uneasy in his heart.

Yes, everything was fine for the past two days, but as soon as I got to the ground, I happened to be involved in the battle between Liu Lingxue and the nightmare beast. Is this a coincidence or...

"Little boy."

"What's wrong, Brother Li Jing?"

Xiaoguai, who was sorting supplies, quickly wiped the sweat from his face and trotted over.

"Let me confirm that you don't have any bitter past. You are not the daughter of some behind-the-scenes boss. Do you have any hidden abilities or secrets?"

Li Jing looked into Xiaoguai's eyes.

"No." Xiaoguai shook his head stupidly, "Haven't you asked this question before, Brother Li Jing?"

Li Jing didn't say anything, but just continued to stare into her eyes.

like a statue.

Without blinking.

Xiaoguai's smile gradually became a little stiff, and his little face suddenly became visibly lost and sad. His eyes, as moving as lake water, were filled with mist, which condensed into sour tears.

"Brother Li Jing, are you doubting me?"

After I confessed my feelings and now that I have just been through danger?

She looked into Li Jing's eyes in disbelief, her two little hands tightly clasped the corners of her clothes, and her snow-white teeth bit her lips hard to hold back her tears.

That pitiful look seemed to be condemning Li Jing's questioning. Others are so good to you and have entrusted their hearts to you. How can you have a clear conscience to question and bully a little girl like this?

[Why is this heaven-defying guy Li Jing going crazy for no reason? 】

[Are you mentally ill? Xiaoguai is so tired of tidying up the things by himself, and you lie on the sofa and don't go over to help. You even come and ask if others are hiding anything from you? ]
