The Beautiful Time With You

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> killed <111111> with M416.

Lin Jiage: "…"

Lu Benlai: "??????"

Xia Shangzhou: "!!!!!!"

The trio of Room 501 widened their eyes at their screen with unbelievable harmony, utterly flabbergasted by what they'd just seen.

Not a person spoke a word, so the room was silent.

Extremely, extremely silent.

Such that Lin Jiage could even hear <Yao Loves Ice Cream>'s voice clearly from the earpiece of the nearby Lu Benlai.

"I managed to kill someone… I managed to kill someone!"

The voice wasn't particularly clear, but Lin Jiage could still distinctly sense the agitated mood that <Yao Loves Ice Cream> was in.

"Did you hear that? I killed someone!"

"Juice, Expert! Did you see the notification on the screen? Yao Loves Ice Cream killed 11111…"

Right after uttering her fifth '1', <Yao Loves Ice Cream>'s voice suddenly faded into silence.

…

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…

Shi Yao earnestly counted the number of 1s in the username of the player she had just killed, and only then was she finally certain that she hadn't made a mistake.

Six 1s… Isn't he Mister Numbers?!

So, the person standing motionlessly within the bushes like a fool wasn't a bot but Mister Numbers?

But didn't Expert say that Mister Numbers had something on tonight?

Shi Yao was startled for a long moment before she finally found her voice, "A-a-m I seeing things? I-i-is the person I just killed really… 111111?"

…

After <Yao Loves Ice Cream>'s voice trailed off from Lu Benlai's earpiece, the entirety of Room 501 was plunged into deeper silence.

It was so silent that even the slight sound of the air-con blowing sounded crisp and clear to them.

They remained in this state for quite a while before a quiet voice traveled to Lin Jiage's ears once more.

"A-a-m I seeing things? I-i-is the person I just killed really… 111111?"

Perhaps it was due to her disbelief that something like this could possibly happen, her voice was filled with doubt and hesitancy. "Isn't 111111 your boss? Didn't you say that he didn't have time to play today? How did he end up being…"

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> stuttered for quite some time and the words that she wanted to say eventually trailed off.

However, those who heard her knew that she wanted to say "… killed by me…".

Xia Shangzhou was too affected by what he'd seen and was unable to shake himself out from his state of shock, which resulted in his voice sounding a little uncertain, "Maybe, Boss is taking a short break from his work?"

Lu Benlai quickly spoke up too, and fortunately, he was far quicker on his feet as compared to Xia Shangzhou, "I guess Boss is taking a ride home, so he decided to come online and play a bit."

<Yao Loves Ice Cream>: "Is that so? Well, that would explain why I managed to headshot him so easily…"

Through Lu Benlai's headphones, Lin Jiage could clearly feel <Yao Loves Ice Cream>'s tone turning from shock back to exhilaration.

"… But no matter what, I'm still a Bronze who defeated a Conqueror…"

"… Plus, this Conqueror is the second most powerful expert in the entire server! I can probably brag about this for life! …"

"… It's a good thing that I was smart enough to take a screenshot at the exact moment I killed him. Give me a second, I'll send that screenshot over to your boss and brag about it…"

…

After her short monologue with Expert and Juice, Shi Yao quickly tabbed out of the game and sent her screenshot over to <111111>.

However, her screenshot failed to reach its recipient. There was a red exclamation mark by the side of the picture she sent, and a gray message below it said: [Your message is successfully sent but rejected by the receiver.]
