Welcome to the Misogyny Game

After many years, I returned to Jiangsu Province in the game, a water town in Jiangnan, with a different flavor.

Jiangsu Province has been developing for many years, and now it's hard to say whether it will be completely unrecognizable.

Liu Chaoque sat in front of the first-class seat on the train, propping his head up and looking at the scenery along the way.

Because they could eat on the train, Xiao Moyun prepared a lot of snacks for them before they set off, mainly crispy fried yellow croaker and pan-fried small fish fillets. Some were placed in plastic food containers, while others were stuffed into bags.

Chef Cat didn't come this time, saying he wanted to research some new dishes. Liu Chaoque vaguely felt that he probably thought he was useless and couldn't help in times of danger, and was even restricted in many ways because of his black cat identity.

One night, she seemed to hear rustling sounds from the next room. She secretly eavesdropped and only vaguely heard something about "cultivation".

Then Liu Chaoque stopped caring; the little kitten had ambition, and he couldn't discourage him.

The two sat in first class, while the two best friends chose second class with smiles on their faces. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that their smiles were familiar. Liu Chaoque recalled that it was the same expression she used to have when she watched all sorts of forced pairings.

However... she's into male-male relationships.

No, ladies, are you shipping me and Mu Li? What kind of weird pairing is this? They'll only end up hurting each other, they'll never be a couple.

Three hours later, when her phone had already used up 50% of its battery and she had to use a power bank to charge it, they arrived in Suzhou...

In reality, I would check if Star Love had started its game and see the "updating" icon.

A few minutes later, she looked at the familiar game interface, the familiar character voices, and the pop-up event page, blinked, and thought, "Great, the game is still here, and Liu Chaoque is still here."

She exited the game, opened the phone function, and quickly dialed the number that was deeply etched into her mind.

"Hey."

"Liu Chaoque is back."

"What?" A heavy object fell to the ground, followed by a cacophony of noise on the other end of the microphone.

Smile quickly replied, "She didn't return to the real world. The game has started running again, and she's still alive."

“She’s still alive!” Wang Qige said through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke. Yes, she's still alive, but now we can see her again," Smile quickly admitted her mistake and said excitedly.

"Yes, I can see her again." The other end of the phone suddenly went silent.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, Wang Qige wiped the corner of her eye; so she had been crying.

Liu Chaoque, Liu Chaoque, why did you go to the game world? Why didn't I go with you? That way I wouldn't have to worry and be afraid all the time.

I'm so scared that when I open my eyes the next day, all I'll see is the bad news about you, and I'm also afraid that I'll never see you again.

"You..." She calmed herself down, her voice a little hoarse.

"If we're talking about the plot, I haven't watched it yet. I called you as soon as I saw the game was back to updates, hoping you'd be happy." Smile smiled sheepishly.

"Go watch the plot." Wang Qige laughed through her tears.

"Okay." Smile breathed a sigh of relief.

No, she hasn't been online for three weeks, and she's already posting three chapters right away? I have to say, the production team is really dedicated.

One is a journey through volcanic forests, the other a gray water town trip—stay tuned! And another one—what's it called… First Encounter.

Smile quickly clicked on "First Encounter" and browsed the plot. A new character appeared named Chen Qingsong, a senior who had already graduated. This time, Liu Chaoque was not injured because the senior had shielded him.

Bathed in the volcanic forest, Liu Chaoque… Hmm? What? Liu Chaoque is fighting with the prisoner, hmm? What? Liu Chaoque is putting out a fire with a fire hydrant, hmm? What? The prisoner has been tied up?

I feel like something's missing (???.???)????

No, Liu Chaoque has this kind of martial prowess? Directly taking on a criminal who can wield a flame-wielding sword? This seems very strange. Could it be that the game's problem lies with Liu Chaoque's martial prowess, and the emergency fix only released him with this level of strength, or perhaps a nerfed version? How strong was he originally?

While Smile was watching the story unfold, Wang Qige calmed down and also opened her phone, eager to watch. She then saw this shocking scene: "Didn't she go to the hospital? What if she has some hidden injuries? Although the female lead in the game won't die, it's not certain. Why did she rush in recklessly?"

"Ugh, why is this game so perfunctory these days? Where's the hospital that always appears after a major event? Why isn't it here this time?"

"Could it be that Chao Que wasn't injured at all?" Smile asked weakly.

"Impossible. The authorities must have covered it up. Liu Chaoque was in the fire for so long, how could they not check him? His respiratory system and such should be checked. What kind of person is that arsonist? He has long since disregarded the law. As for Liu Chaoque's fighting ability, I don't know how much he's capable of. How could he not be injured when facing him?"

"Why are you still hoping that Chao Que will get injured?" Smile was speechless. Wasn't she the one who cared about Liu Chao Que the most? Wasn't it best that he wasn't injured now?

"But none of this makes sense. Firefighters have to wear fireproof suits, but she went up there in just a mountaineering suit. It's a miracle she didn't catch fire. Shouldn't she go to the hospital for a checkup?"

As Smile scrolled through the story, she said, "It's alright, she should be fine. I guess the reason for shutting down the server is that Chaoque obtained some kind of opportunity and became stronger than the official settings. The official had no choice but to shut down the server to try to bring everything back to normal. But, as you can see, it seems they failed."

"Then my role in the game is that of a savior. Whether I like it or not, I have to go. I survived before without any fighting power. Now that Chaoque is so strong, it's not so dangerous sometimes. I can even turn the tables."

Her words of comfort made Wang Qige feel a little embarrassed. She finally said, "Now that you're here, those hardships are over, and you have a new future."

"Yes, I'm lucky, but I don't want to pay for someone else's misfortune." After the server shutdown, Smile thought a lot. If she really disappeared in the end, she would want to be herself.

The beggar who received the candy was grateful, even if the candy was coated with poison.

Both of them fell silent. Wang Qige said, "We'll find a way." There would be a way to make them both happy, to ensure they wouldn't encounter any accidents when they went out, to make Chao Que return, and to make Smile happy every day, just like her name.

"Ah."

"Hey, let's not talk about that anymore, let's get back to the story. I think there's a new event in this update called 'Kitten Cooking,' the little black cat is pretty cute, you should check it out when you have time." It was just that she suddenly remembered the past and felt a little sad. Wang Qige is really something, talking about these things.

"Okay," Wang Qige said.

They are all very good people, but I can't be selfish.

.........

"Oh." Liu Chaoque took a half step back, bumping into someone who was hurrying along. She apologized and tried to help him up, but when their eyes met, they both fell silent. "It's you?"
