Chapter 10 : Ye Yuyou’s Regret
Chapter 10: Ye Yuyou’s Regret
Shen Yi’an controlled her game character ‘thief’ but didn’t rush to escape. Instead, she ran circles around the entire map, toying with the female blade user controlled by Ye Yuyou.
The thief class she chose had a natural speed bonus, and she had invested all her attribute points into speed. Combined with the invisibility speed buff—
Even though Ye Yuyou was only two points slower, she could get close but never land a hit.
In front of her phone screen, Shen Yi’an revealed a faint smile—rare for her.
She hadn’t intended to keep the equipment. She only wanted to tease the rich player a bit before returning it.
Meanwhile, feeling completely toyed with, Ye Yuyou’s expression turned cold and dangerous. She even had the urge to have someone track the thief down in real life.
She opened the world chat and posted the thief’s name, adding: “Whoever kills her once, I’ll give 500. No limit.”
The moment the message was sent, the chat exploded.
“Damn! Boss An is generous!”
“Who pissed off Boss An like that? No sense of self-preservation!”
“Since Boss An spoke, we’d do it even without the reward!”
Ye Yuyou’s in-game name was “An’an’s Favorite,” which made most people assume she was a male player.
She also ranked in the top ten on the VIP leaderboard, having spent at least nearly a million. In real life, she must be some elite figure—hence everyone calling her “Boss An.”
Among the many players hunting Shen Yi’an, one player in particular—ranked fifth, “Lonely Ash”—stood out with unusual enthusiasm.
He immediately teleported to Shen Yi’an’s coordinates and purchased nearly 100,000 worth of coordinate-locking talismans (once used on a player, their location would be tracked continuously for one hour).
Spending that much money on items wasn’t for the reward—it was to win Ye Yuyou’s favor.
Earlier, he had accidentally learned that the player “An’an’s Favorite” was actually Ye Yuyou.
Since then, he had engineered countless “chance encounters” in the game, just to exchange a single word with her.
In reality, their statuses were worlds apart—he had never even received a glance from her.
But in the game, this cold goddess had told him to “get lost.”
One had to know—Ye Yuyou was not only the daughter of one of the four great families, but also an ice-cold beauty of the highest caliber. Whether in looks or figure, she surpassed all celebrities who rose to fame by appearance alone.
Very few people ever got to speak with her—
Yet he had the honor of receiving that single word: “Get lost.”
For Goddess Yuyou! Kill “Invincible Thunder Tyrannosaurus”!! (Shen Yi’an’s in-game name)
“Lonely Ash” unleashed his rapid hand speed, darting out from the group of players chasing Shen Yi’an and instantly killing her thief with a long-range explosive spell.
The thief fell. The crowd erupted in cheers on the public channel, and players began camping various respawn points to kill Shen Yi’an again and again.
Five minutes passed.
Looking at the repeatedly graying screen, Shen Yi’an simply lay back on the sofa and let out a bored yawn.
So the blade user had hired people to hunt her down… quite willing to spend money.
She had only been looking for some fun—didn’t expect to make someone spend so much.
In the game, no matter who picked up the equipment, the item’s info panel would display the name of the player who originally dropped it. She had been too busy running earlier to check.
Opening her inventory, Shen Yi’an prepared to return the equipment to the blade user via the in-game mail, then delete her account and go handle her real matters.
But when she looked at the weapon’s exclusive engraving, she saw a familiar name—
“An’an’s Favorite.”
“……”
Without even thinking—without any further confirmation—she sent the equipment back and immediately deleted her account.
Upon seeing the red notification on her mailbox, Ye Yuyou didn’t hesitate—she destroyed it in disgust.
The equipment she prepared for An’an could only bear her exclusive imprint. If someone else had worn it, it was tainted.
Opening the chat panel, Ye Yuyou fulfilled her promise one by one, sending out equivalent amounts of magic stones via mail.
When she reached the last message from a stranger, she clicked her tongue coldly.
It was from “Lonely Ash.”
The message read: “Boss An, I killed that thief over a dozen times /kill screenshots/ I don’t want money—can you just scold me once in voice chat!”
Ye Yuyou immediately blocked him, then exited the game and lay on her large, soft bed, sighing in frustration.
Without An’an by her side, everything felt dull and meaningless. She wanted to go to An’an—but An’an wouldn’t allow it.
Buzz buzz.
Her phone vibrated. Ye Yuyou picked it up—it was a message from the official team of the game Dimensional World.
“Miss Ye, that player logged in through a third-party platform. Here is her information. Please take a look.”
“Mm.” Ye Yuyou replied briefly and opened the image absentmindedly.
She had originally planned to send someone to track down “Invincible Thunder Tyrannosaurus” in real life, but now her anger had faded, leaving only boredom.
Besides, her mind was completely occupied by Shen Yi’an—nothing else could distract her.
But the moment she glanced at the third-party account…
Her pupils shrank violently.
She recognized that string of numbers instantly—it was An’an’s messaging account!
“Is this information absolutely accurate?!” Ye Yuyou sent the message immediately.
The game’s official account replied in seconds: “Completely accurate.”
After reading it, Ye Yuyou threw her phone aside in frustration and began punching the pillow on her bed.
“Ye Yuyou! What have you done?!”
She was filled with regret, hating herself for her actions.
In her previous life, she had been cold and aloof, finding joy only in games.
Then she had An’an.
And for her sake, An’an had accompanied her—even though she had no interest in games and even felt dizzy from the visuals. Still, she stayed by her side, never leaving—both in the virtual world and in real life.
As the memories surfaced, Ye Yuyou condemned herself.
An’an must have wanted to use the game as a way to reconnect with her… to give her another chance.
And she had ruined it.
In a panic, Ye Yuyou quickly logged back into the game, intending to send all her top-tier equipment to Shen Yi’an as an apology.
But when she searched for the ID “Invincible Thunder Tyrannosaurus,” she found that the avatar had already turned gray—with a small icon beside it indicating the account was in the process of being deleted.
“How could this happen…”
Ye Yuyou panicked. Shen Yi’an’s disappointed expression involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Opening her messaging app, Ye Yuyou once again tried to add Shen Yi’an as a friend, leaving a note: “An’an, I was wrong! I didn’t know that character was you! You can punish me however you want, just don’t be angry~”
Five seconds passed…
Seeing no reply, Ye Yuyou immediately sat up, straightened her clothes, grabbed a set of sports car keys, and rushed toward Shen Yi’an’s home.
However, at this moment, Shen Yi’an was not at home—she was walking through a street district.
According to her past-life memories, she would be ambushed by three bounty killers tomorrow. To prevent that, she decided to cripple them in advance.
【Ding! A mission has been issued for the host!】
【Choice 1: Accept Ye Yuyou’s friend request. Reward: +2 Constitution】
【Choice 2: Reject Ye Yuyou’s friend request. Ye Yuyou’s yandere level increases by 3%】
“……” Shen Yi’an remained silent.
The system urged her in her mind, “Host, please don’t hesitate. Make your choice quickly.”
“Stop bothering me for now. I’ll decide after I handle my business,” Shen Yi’an said impatiently.
“Okay, Master!” The system immediately fell silent, quietly retreating within her mind.
Shen Yi’an took out her phone, glanced at it, then put it back into her pocket.
She didn’t even need to think—this was probably about what happened in the game.
And Ye Yuyou would definitely go to her house, offering herself under the pretense of apologizing.
She wasn’t someone who held grudges, and she didn’t think much of it—it was just a game.
Besides, it was normal for Ye Yuyou to get angry after having her equipment stolen.
Stepping into a dark alley, Shen Yi’an quickly cast the matter aside.
Right now, she was only a meter away from the territory of the Jiuyou Association—she needed to stay alert.
There were five major associations in Yandu, each stationed in different districts.
They operated in a gray area—neither good nor evil, acting solely for profit.
Thus, the “Lighthouse” authorities mostly turned a blind eye to them.
Lighthouse: The law enforcement agency of this world; its members are known as Lightbearers.
