Chapter 18: The Finals

Butterfly Dream greeted Vivian first: "Vivian."

Vivian: "Butterfly Dream, you came too?"

Butterfly Dream: "Yes, of course, I had to come to such an exciting match."

The two chatted casually for a bit. Although Vivian had an unpleasant encounter with Warrior World, it didn't affect her relationship with Butterfly Dream, and Butterfly Dream felt the same way.

After all, during the match, they didn't talk for long, and after three minutes, the PK officially began.

Butterfly Dream wasn't keen on PK, so she wasn't on the PK leaderboard, but her previous strength was actually above Vivian's. However, she hadn't been around for a while, and Vivian's equipment had caught up with hers, so their strengths were now evenly matched.

Therefore, the key to victory lay with Smiling Naihe and Warrior World.

As a result, the outcome of this PK was predictable.

After the PK ended, Butterfly Dream sent a private message: "Weiwei, let's find a place to chat later."

Vivian replied with a nodding emoji.

After all the matches of the day ended, Vivian and Butterfly Dream found a quiet place to talk.

Actually, Butterfly Dream didn't have much to say; she just wanted to invite Vivian to rejoin the guild. Vivian shook her head and politely declined, saying she had too many exams recently and didn't want to spend too much energy on the game.

Butterfly Dream didn't press her.

Butterfly Dream hadn't been around for a while, so they ran out of topics to talk about. After a moment of awkward silence, Vivian remembered the gossip Thunder Nina mentioned and hesitated about whether to bring it up. After thinking for a while, she decided it was better to let her friend know than to keep her in the dark, so she said cautiously, "There's something I heard..."

She had only said half of it when Butterfly Dream understood: "You're talking about Little Rain Green, right?"

Vivian was surprised: "You know?"

Butterfly Dream said, "Of course, don't worry, I'll handle her."

She sent a smiling emoji: "My relationship with World isn't something she can break. I never told you, but we've already taken it to real life. Otherwise, why would I hand the guild over to him?"

Real life?

Vivian was stunned but realized she shouldn't say anything more. Besides, she had no experience in relationships and didn't know what to say.

Butterfly Dream seemed so confident that there shouldn't be any problems.

Throughout late May and early June, Vivian spent her time fighting in the game and dealing with exams. In the game, she and Naihe maintained an undefeated record and entered the server finals. In real life, Vivian threw her exam papers aside and sighed dramatically—

"No more exams, how lonely!"

And then she got hit by a pillow.

Vivian smiled as she hugged Sally's big, soft pillow and logged into the game. The timing was perfect, 7:30 PM, as the great Master said he would be online at 7:30 today.

Once online, Naihe was already there. Since it was almost 8 PM, Vivian and Naihe didn't do any tasks and instead flew around the game on a white eagle.

Today was the day of the server's couple PK tournament finals.

Their opponents were Butterfly Dream and Warrior World, whom they had encountered in the points match.

As it approached 8 PM, they flew back to Chang'an on the white eagle, ready to team up and enter the arena, when they saw a system announcement.

『System』: "Butterfly Dream and Warrior World have broken up and announced their divorce. From now on, they will go their separate ways."

Vivian was stunned, almost doubting her eyes. After reading it twice to confirm, she quickly sent a message to Butterfly Dream, but it wouldn't go through.

Butterfly Dream had set her account to reject messages from everyone.

However, Thunder Nina sent a message, sounding excited: "Weiwei, what's going on? I just logged in and saw that Warrior World and Butterfly Dream broke up!"

Vivian: "I don't know either, and I can't send messages to her. She set it to reject."

Thunder Nina: "I'll ask around in the guild."

After a while, she sent an angry message: "I knew it, it's that Little Rain Green!"

The 『World』 chat was already buzzing with discussions about this.

Today's finals were highly anticipated, and now that one side of the finals had such a scandal, it was bound to cause a stir. After some discussion, someone who knew the inside story revealed that the breakup was due to Little Rain Green. Butterfly Dream seemed to want to kick Little Rain Green out of the guild, but Warrior World disagreed, leading to the fallout.

With the inside story out, the discussions grew even more intense, and soon someone linked it to Little Rain Fairy. A female player said, "Didn't Little Rain Fairy steal Reed Vivian's husband before? Wow, the Little Rain family is always doing this."

The long-lost nemesis of the Little Rain family appeared at the right time.

『World』 ["Little Rain Fairy Has No Shame 277"]: Little Rain family! Homewrecker family! Always stealing husbands! Little Rain family! Homewrecker family! Always stealing husbands! Little Rain family! Homewrecker family! Always stealing husbands!...

...

...

A cacophony.

With no match, Naihe logged off early, and Vivian didn't log off with him as usual. She kept trying to send messages to Butterfly Dream, but they wouldn't go through. Soon, Butterfly Dream's name turned gray; she had logged off.

Vivian looked at the gray name, remembering Butterfly Dream's confidence the last time they met, and felt a bit down. Just then, she heard Sally chattering about how unreliable and fragile online relationships were, and she couldn't help but agree: "Yes, online relationships are too unreliable."

Sally heard this and immediately threw herself at Vivian with tears in her eyes, "Weiwei, you finally understand!"

She had been telling Vivian about online relationship scams she heard, read online, or saw in the news, just to warn her not to be deceived by bad men online. But Vivian hadn't reacted at all in the past few days. However, persistence paid off, and today she finally understood!

Sally was moved by herself; she was such a good roommate, truly one of a kind! But then she heard Vivian ask curiously, "What did I understand?"

Sally was exasperated; what was going on? It still didn't work. She decided to be direct, "I mean online relationships."

"Online relationships?"

Sally nodded, looking directly at Vivian.

Vivian looked back at her, and after a moment, she handed the big pillow she was holding back to Sally, "Here's your pillow."

Then, amidst Sally's mixed emotions, she turned off the computer and climbed into bed.

Vivian lay on her bed, hugging her pillow, staring at the ceiling.

Online relationships~~~

Hmm, online relationships are bad!

But what does it have to do with her~~~

Sleep, sleep!

Due to Butterfly Dream and Warrior World's breakup, Vivian and Naihe advanced to the cross-server elimination round without a fight.

The opponents in the cross-server elimination round were the top players from each server, stronger than those Vivian and Naihe had faced before. However, Vivian and Naihe were also strong, with complementary professions and great teamwork, and they advanced to the cross-server finals without any major issues.

The day before the finals, Naihe said before logging off, "I have a dinner tomorrow night, so I might be late."

Vivian nodded: "Okay (sunny smile emoji), I'll come online later too."

During this time, Vivian had gotten used to asking the great Master what time he would be online the next day before logging off, and then logging in at that time the next day. Otherwise, if she logged in and he wasn't there, it would be boring.

Naihe: "No later than 7:30."

Vivian: "Okay."

However, the next evening at 7:30, Naihe didn't show up.
