Chapter 105: Goth School Heartthrob 3

After closing her phone, Tang Wan sat on the edge of the bed and began thinking about how to approach Liu Shutong.

The easiest method would naturally be staying in the Burial of Love clan so she could meet him openly and naturally.

But Tang Wan had long since passed her “middle school rebellion phase.”

There was no way she could accept the Kill Matt aesthetic anymore.

More than ten years later, all of this would become unbearable black history!

...

And according to the plot, because of his parents’ constant conflicts, Liu Shutong had grown up emotionally distant and highly guarded.

If she approached him directly in real life, there was a high chance he wouldn’t even bother talking to her.

But soon, Tang Wan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time period, online dating was extremely popular—

especially in the game Audition Online.

There were countless in-game couples.

And the “God of the Peak” title in Liu Shutong’s username clearly came from the title system in Audition.

That alone proved how much he liked the game.

Maybe...

she could get close to him online first?

After all, in the original plot, the heroine Lin Yu met Liu Shutong through Audition,

and that was what made him gradually develop feelings for her.

It was also the reason Liu Shutong later targeted the male lead everywhere.

...

After forming a plan, Tang Wan immediately walked to the desk, turned on the computer, logged into QQ, and launched Audition Online.

If she wanted to interact with Liu Shutong in-game, the best way was obviously to add him on QQ.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know his account.

Thankfully, though, she had already joined the Burial of Love clan’s Audition guild.

And the player ranked first in the guild—

“God of the Peak”—

was Liu Shutong himself.

As long as her level increased quickly enough,

he would notice her sooner or later.

...

However, looking at the flashy non-mainstream username floating over her character’s head,

Tang Wan’s mouth twitched again before she reluctantly started the game.

At that moment, Little Cutie floated over excitedly.

“Host! You know how to play this?”

“Do you want me to teach you?”

“I’m super good at rhythm games!”

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately pulled her fingers away from the keyboard.

“Fine. Then help me level this account to level 99 first.”

“No problem! Leave it to me!”

...

The next second, Little Cutie directly connected to Tang Wan’s account and started furiously grinding levels through the system panel.

Tang Wan watched the game character on-screen perform one perfect dance move after another without missing a single beat.

But before long, Little Cutie lost interest.

“Host, this game is way too easy.”

“I’ll just modify the data and boost you straight to level 99.”

“It’s not challenging at all.”

Tang Wan: “...”

“Fine.”

...

Very quickly, Tang Wan’s account became Level 99.

Since Audition allowed players to buy EXP boosts,

nobody would find it strange if someone suddenly jumped to max level.

Afterward, Tang Wan started playing herself.

But the moment she took over—

the situation instantly became tragic.

The character on-screen danced like it was having a seizure.

Completely chaotic.

Seeing this, Little Cutie laughed mercilessly.

“Come on, Host!”

“This game gets easier once you adapt to the speed!”

Tang Wan took a deep breath.

She suddenly wanted to smash the keyboard.

But thinking about how embarrassing it would be if she played with Liu Shutong later,

she could only grit her teeth and continue practicing obediently.

...

Meanwhile—

inside an internet café in town.

A rainbow-haired Kill Matt teenager slammed his keyboard violently.

“Damn it!”

“Who the hell is this ‘Love You, Exchanging Tears for Forever’?!”

“With skills like THAT, she actually beat me in PK?!”

Hearing this, several other Kill Matt teens beside him immediately gathered around.

“What happened, Emperor Shao?”

“Yeah, what’s going on?”

Liu Shutong—known online as “Emperor Shao”—looked deeply irritated.

“I was leveling a side account.”

“When I was around Level 45, I matched against this player in the arena...”

“And I actually lost.”
