Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1119 Extra Story 9 Of Charlie I Am Watching You Silently

It was not until Charlie had walked into the dormitory building that Elsa came back to herself. Seeing the cash that was still in her hands, she felt frustrated and mumbled to herself, "I wanted to pay the money back! I don't want to owe you! You're annoying!" She stamped her feet, annoyed at him. Then she walked to her own dormitory building, pouting and drooping her head sulkily. She hadn't taken many steps before she was intercepted by somebody.

"Tell us what your relationship with Charlie is," the girl in front of her asked harshly.

The two girls from earlier, the ones who had tried to give Charlie love letters, were now in her way. Seeing the fierce look from their eyes, she hesitated slightly and then said, "I forgot to take my wallet when I went out for lunch earlier. Charlie helped me by paying for my food. I came to repay him."

The two girls exchanged glances with each other. When their eyes met, they communicated silently and tacitly. Neither of them thought that Elsa was lying. When Charlie was talking to Elsa a while ago, he had his back to the girls. So they couldn't see what had transpired between them at the time. However, they had already seen the cash in Elsa's hand. "You'd better stay away from Charlie. Otherwise, you will become the common enemy of our Charlie Only Society*. You will feel sorry if you cross us."

*TN: A club organized by Charlie's female fans.

After warning Elsa, the two girls looked her up and down. Finding that she had neither the perfect stature nor a pretty face, they snorted and left. Elsa stood rooted to the spot, confused by their warning. She wondered how so many things could go wrong to her in one single day. She was finding it difficult to cope.

When Charlie arrived at his dormitory, his dorky roommate was immersed in reading a book, just as he always did. Charlie was not surprised at all. He was quite familiar with his roommate by now. He handed the food container to him.

Then he sat down in front of his laptop. After glancing at the time indicated at the lower right corner of the screen, he double-clicked the 'Dragon' icon. After entering the interface, he clicked on update. When he was just about to pour himself a cup of water, his cellphone rang.

"Charlie, check the forum! Hurry up!" Evelyn's sly voice came from the other end of the phone.

As he slowly poured the water into his cup, Charlie said, "Not interested."

"Come on!" she tried to tempt him, "I promise you won't regret it!"

From Evelyn's voice, Charlie was sure that something must have happened. As soon as he opened the forum, he saw the hot post which was flickering in yellow and had a red title at the bottom. When the name "Sweet Dream", which was in the title of the post, caught his eyes, he immediately sat straight up.

He opened the post. The host was a new player account, who composed text and also printed screens all by themselves. The post already had more than two thousand replies, making it the hottest post since Dragon had begun.

When the roommate was about to put a spoon of food into his mouth, he suddenly ceased his movements, sensing an unusual aura beside him. Slowly, he turned his eyes to look at Charlie. He could not help but shudder at the chill that was emanating from Charlie. His aura could have frozen over hell.

After skimming through the post as quickly as possible, Charlie typed some characters on the keyboard with his slender fingers. Very soon, he had entered the management interface of Dragon. When he found out the IP of the host, a sneer spilled over his thin lips. The bookworm took a slight peek at him sideways once again and saw his cold sneer by accident. He was so freaked out that he lost his grip on the spoon, which fell onto his desk with a loud clang.

Charlie turned to look at his roommate by instinct. The bookworm pushed his glasses over the bridge of his nose. With an innocent look, he explained, "Sorry, That was careless of me... Careless..."

The game update finished as scheduled. The waiting players had kept watch on the progress bar because they wanted to see the latest map of the Dragon territory as soon as it went online. Of course, many of them wanted to see the development of the gossip as well. [World] Potato And Tomato: Fuck! The new map looks amazing!

[World] Four-leaf Clover: By the way, who is this Sweet Dream? It looks like I missed on a lot while I was attending classes in the morning. What the hell is going on?

[World]...

Messages appeared endlessly, as if the World Channel was free of charge. People talked about either the new map 'Dragon territory' or about the player 'Sweet Dream'. As the players started logging in one by one, the scene became more fun.

[World] LOL: Although it might have seemed as if I acted like a bully, I have killed Marshmallow only to strengthen my relationship with Legendary Past. Legendary Past, give me 100 Ingots. Hurry up!

LOL's message had appeared in [World]. After seeing his message, the players forgot to refresh [World] for a while. Some couldn't figure out why LOL had said such a thing, while others remembered what Silent Sorrow had said. Who was LOL anyway? He had always occupied the second place in every list, regularly beaten by Legendary Past and 'praised' by Silent Sorrow. The second place* was quite an embarrassing spot to be in for a boy, especially when the first place belonged to a girl.

*TN: Again, the second place means male sex organ in Chinese slang.

[World] Merchant No.1: Oops! I nearly forgot about such a profitable business after the game update. Silent Sorrow had promised that anybody who has killed the players that bullied Sweet Dream would be rewarded by 100 Ingots from Legendary Past if they provide proof via screenshot. I want some confirmation first. Legendary Past, is what Sorrow said true?

[World]...

All of a sudden, the hottest topic in World was no longer the new map or the hot posts in the forum. The attention of most players were drawn by what LOL and Merchant No.1 had said. They were led to kill Candy Group.

[World] Legendary Past: I feel sad that Sorrow is showing tendencies of going into Sweet Dream's embrace.

[World] Legendary Past: But... I really love Sorrow. Since he had personally promised such a thing...

[World] Legendary Past: I will grant his wish.

[World] Legendary Past: Everybody can go ahead and harass Candy Group as they see fit-ruthlessly and without following any rules. They shall receive the reward from me.

As always, she didn't type the whole sentence in a single message. Players had to hold their breaths and wait for each of her messages until she finished speaking. Fortunately, she typed very fast, so she was able to deliver the news clearly. She had given them the green signal "Go ahead and kill them all!"

Since they were one of the top five groups in the Dragon Yelling To The Sky server, Candy Group had many members and all of them were women. Thus, they had attracted many male players who were willing to defend them in order to win their love. As a result of this, they had become an overbearing group in the server. Ordinary players didn't want to fight with them unless they were bullied too severely by them. However, the person they had offended today was Silent Sorrow. Moreover, LOL had stepped on it and had made a good start as an example. Nobody cared to explore the path in the new map. Almost all the players went out to kill Candy Group.
