Chapter 121 – Someone is avenging him Lin Jichen had never flirted with any of the girls in their player group. Even when single, attractive girls from the guild approached him, he barely paid them any attention. He never said anything unnecessary when chatting with Jiang Luoyu or Su Wanling, nor did he try to find topics to get closer to them. The more Jiang Luoyu thought about it, the more she started to believe it. Su Wanling continued, "At first, I thought he was gay. But then, a few days ago, the forum exposed photos of him hugging and kissing an NPC. Everyone said he was a two-dimensional otaku, not interested in real-life girls, only in dimensional female characters." "Do you have the photos? Let me see," Jiang Luoyu said, her curiosity piqued. Su Wanling quickly found the photos for her, even showing a video taken from a distance by another player. In the video, Lin Jichen was indeed kissed by a fairy-like NPC. "To have such intimate behavior with an NPC means that NPC has a very high Affection Level for him. Affection Level was exposed by Tale of Immortal before; it's extremely hard to increase. It shows that Lin Jichen's attention is entirely on the dimensional female characters in the game," Su Wanling explained vividly, convincing even herself. Jiang Luoyu watched the video and suddenly remembered the moment in Corpse King Valley when Lin Jichen's expression turned gloomy and he said something to her. "I think I know why he prefers the characters in the game," Jiang Luoyu said. "Why?" Su Wanling asked eagerly.T/his chapter is updated by Jiang Luoyu analyzed, "He must have been deeply hurt in a past relationship, maybe even betrayed by the woman he loved." "You mean... because of his emotional trauma, he's lost interest in real-life girls and turned his affection to the dimensional ones?" Su Wanling's eyes sparkled with gossip fire as she began to understand and even feel a bit sorry for Lin Jichen. "But didn't we check Lin Jichen's information before? He's only 19. What kind of emotional trauma could he have experienced?" Su Wanling questioned. Jiang Luoyu shook her head, "Age doesn't matter. Some people love deeply and don't fall in love easily. But once they do, they give their whole heart." Su Wanling felt even sadder, "If that's true, how much pain must that girl have caused Lin Jichen?" "I looked into it before. Lin Jichen had a girlfriend when he first started college, but I don't know why they broke up," Jiang Luoyu said. "Then let's investigate her," Su Wanling suggested, her interest piqued. "Isn't that a bit much?" Jiang Luoyu hesitated, though she was also curious. She was curious about what kind of girl could make such an outstanding boy like Lin Jichen fall for her and give his heart. "What's wrong with it? We're not investigating Lin Jichen, just his ex-girlfriend. I want to see who could captivate the top player of Tale of Immortal like this." "President, let's just try it once. I promise!" Su Wanling urged. Under Su Wanling's persuasion, Jiang Luoyu finally agreed, almost against her own will. Jiang Luoyu's eyes sparkled with determination, her words carrying a hint of gritted teeth. It was the first time Su Wanling had seen Jiang Luoyu so angry. She couldn't believe this was the bestie she had known for years. What's gotten into Luoyu... Why is she so furious... Lin Jichen had no idea that someone was avenging him before he even had the chance. He thought he'd have to wait five years until the game world merged to kill Guo Jie. After all, it was still a peaceful and lawful society. If he chose to kill, he might get caught and end up in prison. If he went to prison, he couldn't play Tale of Immortal, and might even face the death penalty. So Lin Jichen hadn't acted on his desire to eliminate his inner demon. He couldn't give up Tale of Immortal or his life for revenge; it wasn't worth it. He just needed to wait for the world to merge, when the world order would change drastically. Then, he would have a thousand ways to kill Guo Jie. But Lin Jichen never expected that he wouldn't have to wait five years. Guo Jie's days of suffering were about to begin. Completely unaware, Lin Jichen found a secluded spot and took out an elixir. This elixir was called the "Supreme Marrow Cleansing Pill." [Supreme Marrow Cleansing Pill]: +50 free attribute points, can help a cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage break through the bottleneck to the mid Foundation Establishment stage. Requirement: Only for cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage who have reached a bottleneck. After clearing Nightmare and Corpse King Valley, the rewards had already pushed him to the bottleneck of the early Foundation Establishment stage. He just needed this Marrow Cleansing Pill to break through. This Marrow Cleansing Pill was a recent gift from Leng Feiyan before he left the sect, still a supreme-grade elixir. Besides the Marrow Cleansing Pill, there was also a Sinew Cleansing Pill, which was for breaking through from mid to late Foundation Establishment. Leng Feiyan had given both to him without any further tests or conditions, just as a gift. Thinking of this, Lin Jichen couldn't help but smile. Look at his great master. Who else had such a master? Certainly no one!
