"Just a little bit more, its health bar is almost empty." Lan Xiaoke continued to control her character, making it jump up and down. As she operated it, the boss in front of her became increasingly enraged.
"Oh? Really?" Ye Chuan, however, didn't think so.
Although the boss had entered a berserk state, its health bar was actually still quite thick, which even Lan Xiaoke hadn't noticed.
"It's lacking more than just a little bit." Ye Chuan shook his head and took a sip of his milk tea.
"No!" Suddenly, Lan Xiaoke saw her character get pierced straight through. Its health bar instantly vanished, leaving her completely dumbfounded.
"Boohoo, I was so close."
The character Lan Xiaoke controlled was now lying flat on the ground, while the boss remained as active as ever. In the end, she still hadn't managed to clear the stage.
"I gotta rest a bit and recover my condition." Lan Xiaoke had no choice but to let her character start regenerating its stamina bar. However, she turned her head to look at Bai Qianshuang.
"Qianshuang, you take on that boss. It's almost dead, do it while its health hasn't regenerated yet."
Hearing this, Bai Qianshuang hesitated for a moment before saying,
"My character's sensitivity is too high. I can't control it well, so I might not win."
She looked at the berserk boss on the monitor. If she rushed in recklessly, she'd probably get instantly killed too.
"Whatever, I'll tag back in later. It's already in its second phase. Hurry up, Qianshuang, hurry." Lan Xiaoke tugged at the corner of Bai Qianshuang's clothes. She knew Bai Qianshuang was weak at this, but she could at least keep the fight going.
"If you can't, then forget it. Let's go out and have some fun," Ye Chuan said with a smile, seeing Bai Qianshuang's hesitation.
"No, I want to try. If I can't beat it on the first try, I'll just try a few more times." Bai Qianshuang's eyes gradually filled with determination. She took the controller from Ye Chuan and sat down steadily.
As soon as she entered the room, Bai Qianshuang's vision went black—her character was instantly killed by the boss!
"N-No way, I haven't even started." Bai Qianshuang hadn't expected the gap between her and Lan Xiaoke to be so large, nor that the boss's second phase would be this terrifying.
"Qianshuang, calm down. Time your jumps carefully," Lan Xiaoke consoled her from the side. "Come on, I'll assist you."
"Xiaoke... don't distract me," Bai Qianshuang said, then began to focus entirely on her controls.
Bai Qianshuang's health bar was very thin, but the difference was that her attack power was incredibly high, and her weapon was a top-tier item. She only needed the right opportunity to take out the boss in one combo.
"No one can defeat me!" As the boss took hits from Bai Qianshuang, it suddenly let out a furious roar and entered a frenzy, its attack speed increasing drastically.
"Careful, Qianshuang... hold on, don't get one-shotted." Lan Xiaoke watched intently from the side.
"I know..." Due to the changes in attack speed and range, Bai Qianshuang's situation was exceptionally difficult right now. After all, her health was so low that she would die from just a few hits.
Fortunately, her weapon's stats were high enough. By maintaining her jumping rhythm, Bai Qianshuang finally delivered a downward smash and defeated the boss!
"No! No!" The boss crashed to the ground, its snow-white demon blood staining a large area.
"Phew... phew..." Seeing the boss finally fall, Bai Qianshuang looked as if she had lost all her strength and was caught by Ye Chuan.
Lan Xiaoke cheered, "You did it! Qianshuang."
"It was so hard... but I did it." Bai Qianshuang didn't even want to speak at this point. After all, it was her first time having such a hard time clearing this second-phase boss.
"Then I'll help you pick up the loot." Lan Xiaoke eagerly controlled her character, scurrying over to collect the demon blood from the boss's body.
These were all good items for boosting stats. After obtaining the materials, Lan Xiaoke looked quite satisfied.
"Huh? Why is the boss regenerating health again?" Just then, Lan Xiaoke noticed the boss staggering back to its feet, its expression looking exceptionally vicious.
"You triggered a hidden storyline," Ye Chuan noted as he watched the scene.
"Then let me handle it." Lan Xiaoke took the controller and patted Bai Qianshuang. "Qianshuang, scoot over!"
Bai Qianshuang: "..."
"Um, alright."
"Watch me clear it in one life!"
...
In the afternoon, Ye Chuan, Lan Xiaoke, and Bai Qianshuang finally left the house.
"Ah, we accidentally played all the way until the afternoon." Lan Xiaoke stretched her body. "I don't even feel hungry."
"You drank a lot of beverages, after all," Bai Qianshuang pointed out.
"We should still eat something." Lan Xiaoke took out her phone and pointed at a commercial plaza to show Ye Chuan.
"Ye Chuan, let's go here. I happen to want to buy some clothes."
"Sure, whatever you want," Ye Chuan agreed.
Ye Chuan was actually hungry. After all, unlike Xiaoke and Qianshuang who had both eaten their fill, he had only taken a few sips of milk tea and hadn't really had anything.
The three of them concealed their auras and chose to fly directly to the nearby commercial plaza, too lazy to even call a cab.
"Let's grab a cup of milk tea first." Lan Xiaoke hugged Ye Chuan's arm and jogged along, her long white hair fluttering in the wind.
Meanwhile, Bai Qianshuang held Ye Chuan's other hand. One with long, straight black hair and the other with white hair, they looked like black and white guardians flanking Ye Chuan's sides.
"Hello, what would you like to drink?" The staff member found Ye Chuan's trio quite unusual, but didn't ask any questions.
"Taro paste milk tea, add cheese, less ice, and extra sugar," Lan Xiaoke said immediately.
"Alright."
"Extra sugar again? Don't you want to lose some weight?" Ye Chuan glanced at Lan Xiaoke; she was already curvy enough.
"I'm not fat," Lan Xiaoke immediately retorted.
Given her measurements, Lan Xiaoke's flesh had all gone to the right places. Ye Chuan really couldn't call her fat; strictly speaking, Lan Xiaoke had nothing to do with being fat.
"Qianshuang, what are you drinking?"
"Hmm, a pearl milk tea," Bai Qianshuang said to the staff. "Regular sugar, less ice."
"Alright."
"Jumbo size."
"Eh? Miss, our store's jumbo size is one thousand milliliters," the staff member reminded her upon seeing Bai Qianshuang's slender figure.
Such a pretty girl should be paying attention to maintaining her figure, after all.
"It doesn't matter," Bai Qianshuang said, not forgetting to add, "Make it two."
"Alright... two cups."
Ye Chuan asked for a cup of lemon cola.
"And then let's go eat desserts!" Lan Xiaoke said excitedly.
"We're going to eat desserts right after buying milk tea?"
"Yep."
"What about you, Qianshuang?" Ye Chuan asked for Bai Qianshuang's opinion, only to find her cowlick standing straight up. She was clearly already captivated by the thought of desserts.
Lan Xiaoke was a regular foodie, and Bai Qianshuang was a massive foodie.
It would be abnormal for them not to feast when they came out.
"Alright, let's go then," Ye Chuan had no choice but to say.
