138: Chapter 138: Playing for just a little while shouldn't be a problem, right?

"What game is so fun?"

She couldn't help asking, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity even she hadn't realized.

Lu Li finally raised his head and glanced at her.

"yuanshen! Launch!"

Shen Qingxue: "..."

What on earth was this? She couldn't make head or tail of it.

"Is it fun?"

Shen Qingxue asked again. Although her tone was indifferent, she had already sat down next to Lu Li.

After finishing his final combo, the four large characters "Challenge Successful" popped up on the screen, and he finally put down his phone.

"Fun, it's a super fun game."

After a pause, Lu Li added.

"Besides, the character inside is quite handsome, with flowing red hair. I feel like his vibe is pretty similar to mine."

Shen Qingxue looked at him without speaking, but that look already said it all.

"What kind of look is that? You don't believe me?"

Lu Li became unhappy, picked up his phone to pull up the game character interface, and handed it to Shen Qingxue.

"Look, red hair, aloof, and maxed-out combat power. Doesn't he look a lot like me?"

Shen Qingxue lowered her head to glance at the screen, then raised her head to look at him, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

"He's more handsome than you..."

Lu Li: "..."

"Fine, if you say so."

Seeing Lu Li's heartbroken expression, Shen Qingxue couldn't help finding it a bit funny, but she quickly said the rest of her words anyway.

"However... if you debuted on the idol route, perhaps there would be a place for you in the entertainment industry too."

"Oh come on, are you praising me or putting me down with that? I'd never join those sissy talent shows."

However, despite saying that, Lu Li's heart felt much more comfortable.

It seemed his looks couldn't compare to a game character, but crushing the fresh-faced idols of the domestic entertainment industry should still be no problem at all.

Soon, Lu Li put away his phone, leaned back on the sofa with his hands behind his head, and looked curiously at Shen Qingxue.

"By the way, have you ever played games?"

Shen Qingxue thought for a moment and shook her head.

"No. When I was young, my family was very strict, so I didn't have the chance to play. Later, after entering the entertainment industry, I didn't have the time either."

Lu Li tilted his head to look at her, suddenly growing interested.

"Then do you want to give it a try?"

Shen Qingxue hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, she wasn't very interested in these things. From childhood to now, her life only consisted of studying and work.

Things like games felt like they belonged to another world to her.

But seeing Lu Li looking so eager to try, she didn't have the heart to refuse him outright.

"Well... but we haven't released the official version of love song yet... The fans are probably all urging us."

Lu Li immediately spoke with absolute assurance.

"Aish, what kind of big deal is that? Just ghost them. The more anxious they get, the higher their anticipation and the hype can be pushed."

Shen Qingxue looked at him with a skeptical expression.

After a moment, she gave up and asked softly.

"How do you play?"

Lu Li's eyes instantly lit up. He immediately sat up straight from the sofa, picked up his phone to flip to the app store, and typed in the two big characters "yuanshen".

"You download it first, and I'll teach you. I guarantee it's simple."

Shen Qingxue took the phone, looked at the download button, hesitated for about zero point zero zero zero one seconds, and then clicked it.

She would just play for a little while, it should be fine, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingxue gradually set her mind at ease.

Seeing this, Lu Li also leaned over to take a look and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad, you're a child worth teaching."

Shen Qingxue ignored him and lowered her head to watch the progress bar inch forward bit by bit.

Downloading took about three minutes, but the update ended up taking thirty minutes.

Meanwhile, Lu Li guided her the entire time, reminding her from time to time which button to click, which animation to skip, and which interface to enter.

When they finally entered the game, Shen Qingxue stared at the screen, a rare trace of bewilderment appearing on her expression.

"Where... is this? How do you play?"

"The newbie village."

Lu Li answered righteously, then began to explain the control method to her.

"Look, the joystick on the left controls the direction, and these buttons on the right are for attacking, dodging, and skills..."

Shen Qingxue listened very carefully, but when her fingers pressed down, the character didn't move according to her thoughts at all.

Clearly wanting to walk forward, the character instead ran to the left.

Clearly wanting to attack, the character instead jumped in place.

Looking at her clumsy appearance, Lu Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Don't laugh. If you came, you wouldn't do any better either."

Shen Qingxue glared at him, the roots of her ears turning slightly red.

Lu Li forced back his laughter and quickly covered his mouth, but his shoulders still twitched up and down because of it.

Turns out she was a blockhead in this area~

Shen Qingxue took a deep breath, put her attention back on the screen, and began trying to control the character, attempting to reclaim her dignity.

This time she had wised up, slowing down her movements quite a bit. Although bumpy, she could at least move now.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

Shen Qingxue tilted her head to glance at Lu Li, her tone carrying a trace of tiny pride that even she hadn't realized.

Lu Li gave a thumbs-up, forcing back his laughter, truly lacking the heart to strike a blow to her confidence.

"Awesome! To be able to do this on your first time playing, you're truly gifted!"

The corners of Shen Qingxue's mouth curved up slightly, then quickly suppressed down again as she lowered her head to study the game once more.

Leaning to the side, Lu Li watched her clumsy yet earnest operations, and the arc of his mouth simply couldn't be pressed down no matter what.

To be honest, the way Shen Qingxue played games contrasted far too sharply with her usual image.

Usually such an aloof person, at this moment she looked just like a little kid who had just started playing with a phone, her eyes full of novelty and seriousness.

"Look, there's a treasure chest here, do you see it?"

Lu Li reached out and pointed to the upper right corner of the screen.

Shen Qingxue looked over following his finger and sure enough saw a small wooden box.

"How do I get over there?"

"Do you see that big tree over there? Just walk around it."

Shen Qingxue nodded and manipulated the character to slowly move toward the big tree.

Just as she was about to walk next to the treasure chest, a slime suddenly bounced out from the bushes.

Startled, Shen Qingxue's hand shook, and the character immediately ran several steps in the opposite direction.

"Ah!"

She let out an extremely light exclamation, her body subconsciously leaning backward.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then let out a "pfft" and laughed out loud.

"No way, you're scared of small mobs like slimes?"

Shen Qingxue glared at him, her chest heaving slightly, clearly having been given a good scare.

"It's not that I'm scared, it's just... it jumped out suddenly, and I wasn't mentally prepared."

Lu Li laughed even harder, but seeing her ear roots turning redder and redder, he sensibly reined it in a bit.

"Alright, alright, alright, it's its fault, it shouldn't have scared you. Come, come, come, I'll teach you how to beat it to death."

Lu Li reached out to take her phone, but Shen Qingxue pulled her hand back.

"No need, I'll do it myself."

She stared at the bouncing slime on the screen, her expression turning serious.

Controlling the character to turn around, approach, and use a basic attack.

Slash after slash, the slime's HP decreased bit by bit, and finally, on the N-th slash, it turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated.

"Beaten to death."

Shen Qingxue said softly, her tone carrying a hint of venting satisfaction.

Lu Li looked at this scene, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

This kind of Shen Qingxue...

Is actually quite cute, reluctant to even use her skills.
