12: Chapter 12 Two at Once
A continuous burning pain came from his wrist.
Jiang He jerked his hand back, only then noticing that the ground around him was covered in health bars.
Ball-sized monsters were slowly approaching him.
[Magic Swamp Frog · Lv10]
[HP: 1000]
[Skill: Venom Spray (Deducts 20 HP per second for 15 seconds, stackable)]
[Traits: Swarm, Toxic, Swift]
They were densely packed, at least fifty or sixty of them.
Though small, they were extremely fast, and even more terrifying was that toxic spray.
One or two wouldn't matter, but the key was that the poison effect could stack. If they all took a bite out of him, wouldn't he be a goner?
Jiang He cursed under his breath and retreated several steps.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with them, his friend list flashed urgently:
[Luo Yao]: Log off, quick.
The message was brief, leaving Jiang He stunned.
[Game ID]: I can't, I have a quest here and can't get away.
[Luo Yao]: Log off immediately, right now. I can't explain things to Xiao Xue anymore.
After saying that, her avatar turned gray.
Can't explain things?
Jiang He's heart skipped a beat. Had something happened at home?
He logged off immediately.
Just as he took off the helmet, he saw the Bai Luoyao sisters sitting properly to one side.
Mother Jiang, however, shouted at Jiang He with a dark face, "Son, I'm not old-fashioned, but what you're doing is too much!"
Jiang He was baffled.
He just played a game for a bit, how was that too much?
"Mom, I only played for a little while. It's not so bad that it's 'too much', right?"
"Only played for a little while? You have the nerve to say that, and I'm embarrassed to even hear it. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The more Jiang He heard, the more confused he became.
Mother Jiang was so angry she picked up a feather duster, ready to start swinging.
"You little brat, I think you need a lesson. Today, I'm definitely going to teach you one."
Scared, Jiang He shrunk into the corner of the bed and raised his hands to block: "Mom, mom, mom, I was wrong. I won't play anymore, okay? Can't I just go to sleep after I wake up?"
"You still want to sleep? Who do you want to sleep with?"
At this point, Bai Luoyao couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and blocked Mother Jiang, explaining:
"Auntie, you've really misunderstood. We... nothing happened." At this point, her face turned red.
"Don't be afraid, girl. I saw this boy bullying you two. With me here, he won't dare do anything to you."
"I bullied them?" Jiang He was shocked.
Mother Jiang got even angrier upon hearing this and took the chance to hit him: "You little brat, you still have the face to say that? You're just like your father, a total playboy. I don't object to you dating, but... but you can't date two at once! They're biological sisters, how am I supposed to talk about you?"
Collapsed.
The sky had collapsed.
He was just fighting Magic Swamp Frogs; how did he end up in a relationship?
And dating two at once?
When did this happen?
How come I didn't know, and no one notified me?
Seeing his bewildered face, Bai Luoyao sighed and recounted what had just happened.
It turned out that after being killed by the BOSS, they both logged off.
They thought Jiang He would log off soon too.
But when he didn't wake up for a long time, they just lay on the bed, bored, scrolling through their phones.
Suddenly, Jiang He grabbed both of their hands, chuckling and laughing.
The sisters had never had contact with the opposite sex since they were young.
This suddenly made both of their faces turn bright red.
Bai Luoyao guessed that something good might have happened to him in the game, and his body was subconsciously moving along.
But just then, Jiang He rolled over, pulled her into his arms, and laughed wildly.
Just at that moment, the door was pushed open, and Mother Jiang came in to bring them fruit.
When the three of them first entered the room, Jiang He said they were meeting up to play games.
But who would have thought the three children would end up playing on the bed?
Mother Jiang's anger flared up instantly.
There was no problem with her son dating; he had graduated from university, so it was normal.
Although she was surprised when he first brought two girls home.
But after learning they were twins, she didn't think much of it.
She guessed one of them might be her son's girlfriend, and the other just came along to hang out.
But she guessed wrong. Who knew her son's appetite was so big?
He wanted both?
At first, Bai Luoyao tried to explain.
But Mother Jiang wouldn't listen at all, insisting on standing up for them.
She also criticized them, saying she understood that young people were open-minded, but three people together?
The key was that her son was quite a pervert—wearing a helmet and even playing role-play?
Learning the truth, Jiang He almost cried out loud.
"Mom, we were really playing a game, we're not lying to you."
"Why are you being so stubborn? I saw you hugging the girl with my own eyes, how can you still not admit it? I'm telling you, the Jiang family has never produced someone who abandons others. You must take responsibility."
"Responsibility? To whom?"
"Who, who, who? Who else could it be? You have to take responsibility for both."
Jiang He was completely speechless and cast a pleading look at Bai Luoyao.
"Auntie, you've really misunderstood. We were indeed playing a game."
Mother Jiang was stunned, thinking: This silly girl has actually been brainwashed by my son to this extent? They were hugging, and she's still defending him?
"Forget it, I can't control you anymore. Young people these days, really... dating, and getting two at once?"
After saying that, she walked out of the bedroom.
Before leaving, she glared at Jiang He and scolded, "Don't get anyone pregnant, stay safe."
The three of them stood dazed for a long while.
The sisters' faces were red, and they didn't dare to speak.
Jiang He felt so wronged he wanted to claw his heart out.
Finally, Xiao Xue broke the silence: "Big... big brother, why did you just come out now?"
Then, Jiang He told them about how he killed the World BOSS.
"What? You killed the World BOSS?"
"Heavens, how did you do it?"
The excited sisters each grabbed one of his arms and pulled hard.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch."
Jiang He naturally wouldn't say he had a top-up cheat system and could revive infinitely.
He casually made up an excuse, saying there was a bug.
Xiao Xue kept praising him for being smart.
But Bai Luoyao didn't believe it.
Immortal Realm was said to be perfect; bugs wouldn't appear at all.
But since Jiang He didn't want to say, she didn't ask further.
"By the way, I got a lot of equipment drops. Do you want them?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Log on."
The three of them put on their helmets again. This time, the sisters didn't lie on the bed but chose to sit on chairs.
Logged into the game.
Jiang He appeared inside the Canyon Forbidden Zone.
He opened the chat box and sent the coordinates to Bai Luoyao.
And told her to bring some priests over.
[Luo Yao]: Bring priests? How many?
[Game ID]: The more the better, at least twenty.
[Luo Yao]: Okay, ten minutes.
Before entering the game, he suddenly thought: besides having the top-up cheat system, didn't he also have a human cheat system by his side?
The Magic Swamp Frog's poison would drain health for 15 seconds, but only 20 points per second.
The biggest threat was that the quantity could stack.
But he could also stack, couldn't he?
As long as there were enough priests, there was no need to worry about the poison.
Ten minutes later, Bai Luoyao arrived at the scene with her people.
According to Jiang He's battle plan, they began the fight.
Sure enough, with the help of twenty priests, Jiang He's health remained full.
Before long, all the Magic Swamp Frogs were wiped out.
Some trash equipment and gold coins dropped.
Jiang He touched them one by one, but the top-up wasn't triggered.
Without even picking them up, he told Bai Luoyao to take them all.
"Okay, once I've tallied the equipment from last time and this time, I'll send you the payment."
"Got it."
Having successfully rescued the Village Chief's grandson, Xiao Hu, Jiang He returned to the Novice Village without stopping.
