Zheng Xiaoguang's character in the game, which was Flowing Light, was at level 110 now, but she still wanted to gain more levels for the next update of the game system. At that time, s.h.i.+ny Sky would allow players on Watery South to recreate their characters and reselect their professions.

Zheng Xiaoguang did not intend to leave her profession, as she enjoyed playing as a doctor and was not interested in the other professions. Despite that, she still wanted to recreate her character and go back to level 80, since only by doing this, she would be allowed to upgrade to level 120, which was the highest level in the game, in the future.

In s.h.i.+ny Sky Online, levels were important for characters. A level-110 character was only allowed to wear a level-105 Purple Outfit or a level-110 Golden Outfit, whereas a level-120 character could wear a level-120 Celestial G.o.d Outfit, which was the best Golden Outfit in the game.

According to the players who came from the old servers, if a player wanted to continue playing this game, he or she had to upgrade his or her character to level 120, since a level-120 character could easily defeat a level-110 character like defeating some rookie.

To upgrade his or her character to level 120, a player had to recreate his or her character and complete some reborn missions. Apart from that, once a player recreated his or her character, its level would go back to level 80. While completing the reborn missions, a player would be given by the system a chance to reselect his or her profession. Magical professions were convertible into non-magical profession and vice versa. After reselecting a profession, a player would get back his or her stat points that he or she had acc.u.mulated before reaching level 80.

According to the official website of s.h.i.+ny Sky, the system would allow players on Watery South to recreate their characters and reselect their professions after the Chinese Saint Valentine's Day. Bluegreen-Clad and Zheng Xiaoguang told their friends that they would not leave their professions when recreating their characters, but Han Meimei said that Li Lei wanted to recreate himself as an a.s.sa.s.sin. Li Lei was a magician now. He could become an a.s.sa.s.sin, which was a non-magical profession, but none of his current equipment could be used by an a.s.sa.s.sin.

Li Lei and Han Meimei heard that Bluegreen-Clad's friend Never Deeply Attached was an a.s.sa.s.sin and had stopped playing this game a long time ago. Given this, they wanted to ask Never Deeply Attached to lend Li Lei his a.s.sa.s.sin equipment.

After talking with Bluegreen-Clad and his friends, Zheng Xiaoguang asked Blooming Pear Tree about his plan.

Just like her, Blooming Pear Tree did not want to reselect a profession, so he did not need to worry about his equipment. At this moment, he really wanted to discuss something else with Zheng Xiaoguang.

[Private Chat] Blooming Pear Tree talks to you: Hey, sis, did you meet Bluegreen-Clad offline?

[Private Chat] You talk to Blooming Pear Tree: "Well, yes. Did Bluegreen-Clad tell you that?

[Private Chat] Blooming Pear Tree talks to you: [Vomiting Blood] He showed me your cosplay alb.u.m.

"Oh, that alb.u.m of Bluegreen-Clad and me," Zheng Xiaoguang immediately realized what her big brother was talking about. She had received the alb.u.m a long time ago. As there was only one copy, she decided to keep it and just sent Bluegreen-Clad an electronic copy of the alb.u.m.

She thought gleefully, "Those photos are really well taken and edited. Bluegreen-Clad said that the official website of s.h.i.+ny Sky bought this idea with gold ingots in the game and planned to use it for the Chinese Saint Valentine's Day campaign

"s.h.i.+ny Sky is really good at hyping itself. It held a beauty contest and let Saori and Venus fight against each other to attract attention. Because of the fight, the popularity of these two girls gradually fell. In the end, s.h.i.+ny who ranked third during the first stage of the compet.i.tion won the final victory and the t.i.tle 'Beauty Queen of s.h.i.+ny Sky'.

"When this result surprised everyone, s.h.i.+ny Sky kept its promise and rewarded s.h.i.+ny with many prizes and signed a celebrity endors.e.m.e.nt agreement with her. It took this chance to market its cosplay costumes for the six different professions in the game and sold them wells. Many players want to take a photo or make a video while wearing these costumes. Well, there are indeed many rich players in this game.

"As the official website of s.h.i.+ny Sky has attracted lots of players, it begins to promote its mysterious Chinese Saint Valentime's Day campaign now. Although no one knows what s.h.i.+ny Sky is going to do, I guess cosplay costumes for couples and couple alb.u.ms will be hot promotional products.

"As the game is becoming more and more popular, someone may adapt it into TV shows or even a movie someday."

Flowing Light: [Sweating] Huh? Did he show you the photos?

Blooming Pear Tree: [Raising an Eyebrow] What? Did you plan to hide this thing from me?

Zheng Xiaoguang lowered her head and nervously played with her fingers while thinking, "Well, I did want to hide this thing from Blooming Pear Tree. I just went to meet Bluegreen-Clad. I think I don't need to tell others about this. Besides, my big brother is overprotective sometimes."

Blooming Pear Tree: Bluegreen-Clad told me about this, but I want to know what you think about it. How are things going with you two?

Flowing Light: It's nothing. He just took me to watch the reality show of s.h.i.+ny Sky. Then... we took some photos together. It's a gift from the game company.

Blooming Pear Tree: [Anger] [Pounding the Table] [Vomiting Blood] f.u.c.k, this guy seduced my only sister!

Flowing Light: Hey, big brother, you're really forgetful sometimes. Don't forget that it was you that married me off to him.

Blooming Pear Tree: No! I just thought that it would be great to find a husband for you in the game. He can help you complete missions and unlock equipment. That's all. I've never promised him anything else.

Flowing Light: ... Does Bluegreen-Clad know that you plan to use him like that?

Blooming Pear Tree: What can he do when he knows it? You have to take things slow with him to give me more time to observe him. If he's not a good guy, you can only treat him as a husband in the game and stop meeting him offline. Anyway, I can't let get hurt you again. It's enough to meet a jerk once in a lifetime.

Upon seeing this message, Zheng Xiaoguang suddenly felt a heartache and thought of the name that she had tried so hard to forget—Su Han. She remained silent for a long time and sent a message back to Blooming Pear Tree.

Flowing Light: It's all over. Besides, he's not a jerk. I've thought a lot over the past year. I thought that I also did a lot of wrong things at that time.

Blooming Pear Tree: Stop speaking for that son of a b.i.t.c.h. He's such an irresponsible guy. You did so much for him, but he dumped you all of a sudden. What a jerk！

Flowing Light: No. At least, he treated me sincerely when we were together. I'm very grateful that he has made me understand that not every romantic relations.h.i.+p can last forever, no matter how hard you try.

"Well, most romantic relations.h.i.+ps can't last forever in this world," Zheng Xiaoguang sighed secretly.

Blooming Pear Tree: You're too soft-hearted. You keep speaking for him all this time. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Flowing Light: Well, let's forget about him. Look at me. I'm alright now. And Bluegreen-Clad does treat me well.

Blooming Pear Tree: Humph, he just has good looks. You can't judge a man by his looks. No matter what you think about him now, you're not allowed to get into a relations.h.i.+p with him until I approve you to do so!

Zheng Xiaoguang sighed slightly, as she thought, "It looks like that Blooming Pear Tree is still blaming himself for helping Su Han chasing after me. He still thinks that it's his fault and tries to make it up for my lost time. He always takes a good care of me and wants to find a reliable boyfriend for me.

"However, he's really a bit picky. He doesn't like an average-looking guy, but if the guy looks cute, he'll be worried that this guy is fickle in love. He doesn't want me to have a poor boyfriend, but if the guy is wealthy, he'll be worried that this guy is sn.o.bbish… Alas, it looks like that he won't rest a.s.sured until I find a good boyfriend."

She nearly shed tears of grat.i.tude and sent a message back to Blooming Pear Tree: Big brother, I think that you're probably my real brother. Just tell me the truth, are we really long-lost siblings?
