From Slacking Off To Becoming A Top Student - Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 – You’re Really a Little Genius

When Yan Xiaoxi heard that her desk mate’s game character was called Ling’er Has Heals, she was so enraged that she nearly ground her back teeth to dust. That’s right, she was the new warrior from last night, Sneaky Thief, Watch My Sword. It was her first time participating in a raid, and she got killed at the most critical moment, even being suspected of having bad skills because of it.

Ugh!

What a coincidence, to run into you in the game!

But then again… this behavior of slacking off during a dungeon run really does resemble the same feeling as real life.

Wait a minute, something’s not right! I remember… I remember that Ling’er Has Heals was a priest whose voice was sweet and sounded like a cute girl. How could it possibly be Chen Xiaoxin playing? Even if my hearing’s off, the difference between male and female voices is easy to tell.

“What’s wrong?”

Chen Xiaoxin looked at Yan Xiaoxi’s expression, which seemed like she wanted to bite his head off, and said in confusion, “I feel like you’re about to eat me.”

Yan Xiaoxi snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress her anger and confusion, then asked softly, “Wait… you’re not Ling’er Has Heals. Ling’er is a girl. Her voice is sweet.”

“Uh?”

“How do you know?” Chen Xiaoxin looked at her, a little stunned, and curiously asked, “Could it be… you’re on my server too? Are you a Horde player from Frostmourne?”

Yan Xiaoxi nodded but didn’t say much more.

“Tsk tsk tsk… What are the odds!” Chen Xiaoxin still didn’t realize the gravity of the situation, grinning and saying, “How about we play together in the future? I’ll take you through dungeons. Let me tell you, my gear is the best on the server, I’ve completely maxed out everything.”

“You still haven’t answered my question.” Yan Xiaoxi asked seriously, “I’ve played with Ling’er Has Heals before, and I’ve heard her voice. She’s definitely a girl.”

“Ah?”

“You’ve run dungeons with me?” Chen Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, looking confused. “What’s your name?”

Yan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at him and replied calmly, “I asked you first. You need to answer me first, and then I’ll tell you. Do you know what it means to go in order?”

Chen Xiaoxin shrugged and replied seriously, “I really am Ling’er, the real deal. The reason I sound like a girl in voice chat is that I’m using a voice changer to make my voice sound like a girl’s.”

“You… you!”

Yan Xiaoxi was furious, her temples throbbing, and she clenched her fists involuntarily.

“Alright.”

“You can tell me your game name now, right? By the way, what class do you play?” Chen Xiaoxin asked.

Yan Xiaoxi struggled to control her emotions, trying to keep her composure in front of the class. But no matter how hard she tried, the anger inside her just wouldn’t be put out. If anything, it was growing more intense. She took another deep breath, gritted her teeth, and replied, “I’m Sneaky Thief, Watch my Sword!”

“Huh?”

You’re the warrior from last night?

When Chen Xiaoxin realized that Yan Xiaoxi was the warrior from last night, his scalp went numb. No wonder she looked like she was ready to murder someone.

“Pervert!”
“Crossplaying as a girl in the game!”

Yan Xiaoxi’s face turned black, her anger boiling over as she said, “Not only are you playing as a trap, but you also slacked off during the dungeon run, even causing me to get killed at the end! I won’t forget last night’s grudge! Just wait and see! And if you dare convince the guild leader to kick me out, I’ll make sure to take you down with me!”

Chen Xiaoxin chuckled awkwardly. In fact, he had considered kicking Yan Xiaoxi out earlier, but after her threats, that plan had been suppressed. He carefully responded, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the guild leader doesn’t kick you. On the contrary, I’ll talk to him and make sure you get more gear.”

“Hmph!”

“I don’t need that!”

“I’ll get my gear with my own skill,” Yan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes and retorted sarcastically.

This is infuriating!

Being desk mates was bad enough, but now I have to keep being his teammate in the game too.

It’s as if the heavens think my life has been too smooth, so they sent a monkey to torment me. I’m about to go crazy from this!

“Why are you playing as a girl?” Yan Xiaoxi asked.

“Because slacking off won’t get me kicked,” Chen Xiaoxin didn’t try to hide anything and told her the truth.

“…”

“You’re really a little genius!” Yan Xiaoxi said, although she had guessed the reason, hearing it from his mouth made her laugh in exasperation. She then asked, “Last night, when we got to the final boss, did you even know what skills it had?”

“More or less. I usually just lie there and let others carry me.”

Yan Xiaoxi slapped her forehead, a huge “speechless” expression written across her face. Wearing the best gear on the server, doing things even a beginner wouldn’t do—only someone like her desk mate could manage that.

“By the way…”

“Aren’t you worried that I’ll expose you for playing as a girl?” Yan Xiaoxi asked again.

Chen Xiaoxin smiled faintly, speaking with sincerity, “Do you think they’ll believe you, or will they believe me?”

Yan Xiaoxi was momentarily stunned. She opened her mouth but had no comeback.

“By the way…”

Chen Xiaoxin asked quietly, “Do you want to run dungeons tonight? I’ll find three strong players in the guild, and I’ll be healing you from the back.”

“Not a chance.”

“With your lineup, it’s gonna be wipe after wipe.” Yan Xiaoxi scoffed. “I’m mining tonight. Last night’s raid burned through all my gold.”

“Need gold?”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Chen Xiaoxin laughed and said, “I have over 200,000 gold in my bag. I’ll give you 20,000 tonight.”

Hearing that her desk mate had so much gold in the game, Yan Xiaoxi was stunned. She stared at him in disbelief, asking, “How do you have so much gold? Did you buy it?”

“Buy gold?”

“Do I need to buy gold?”

“I don’t even need to buy a monthly card,” Chen Xiaoxin said mysteriously, “Everything was given to me by others, and they even bought me a monthly card. Now my account can last for ten years.”

After hearing this, Yan Xiaoxi was shocked. She couldn’t help but wonder, Is playing as a girl this promising?

Maybe…

Maybe next week, I’ll go be a cute girl?

This thought just popped into her head, but she quickly shut it down.

No, no, no!

I, Yan Xiaoxi, have pride!

After two hours of boring English class, Chen Xiaoxin once again earned 5,000 points, but a crazy idea was swirling in his mind.

One last time.

I’ll draw once more. After this, I’ll definitely save points for skill exchanges.

Chen Xiaoxin took a deep breath, opened up the system panel, and once again stepped onto the dark, addicting road of a gambling dog, fueled by dreams of turning his bicycle into a motorbike.
