I show off when others try their best, but am I rated S-level?

Chapter 16 Because I made a promise to her

"That's not the reason."

Li Jing shook his head and said.

Of course, he couldn't tell Liu Lingxue that he would be invincible as long as he acted badly.

It's even more impossible to say that you worked so hard there to kill the nightmare beast and get one or two points of source power. As long as I am a bastard, I can easily get [-] million points of source power, and I will be invincible in the world.

Regardless of whether the other party believes this reason or not, the Hunzi system also prohibits revealing its existence.

"Just think of me as cowardly. I feel like I don't have the courage like you to hold the sword and face the beast directly. I'm afraid of pain and death. Even if I die here, my life span will be deducted, but that's still life."

He said cowardly: "I am just an ordinary person who is unfortunately involved in this game. I don't have any strong talents or abilities. I am self-aware of this, so I just want to spend the next time honestly." These days, I just make ordinary comments and try to survive as long as possible in this trial game."

Li Jing's speech can be said to be unambitious and unpromising.

The barrage in the live broadcast rooms on both sides has begun to criticize.

What [I have long seen that this man is not worthy of our goddess Lingxue! ], [Li Jing, Li Jing, when I saw you fighting for Xiaoguai, I thought you were a real man, but I didn’t expect you to be a coward now! 】, 【It’s so disappointing to see you come here! Words like 】 kept scrolling.

Liu Lingxue looked at his dejected eyes, but knew that he was definitely not that kind of person.

Because not every ordinary person he calls can have the courage to sacrifice himself for others at critical moments like him.

Li Jing said that he was ordinary and had no talent or talent, but Liu Lingxue felt that was not the case.

"Is it because of that girl?"

She looked into Li Jing's eyes, as if she had seen through Li Jing's disguise, and asked softly
"Is it because of that girl that you don't want to be my companion?"

"Ah, I didn't expect you to see through it."

Li Jing spread his hands helplessly, looking like he had been exposed.

If one explanation is not satisfactory, then use another explanation to cover it up. As a woman, Liu Lingxue should believe in this reason more, right?
Not to mention that this was the "truth" she had deduced herself.

Darling, it's time for you to play your role again!

Seeing the wry smile on Li Jing's face, Liu Lingxue understood and understood.

The reason why Li Jing was unwilling to accept her kindness was not because he was weak or cowardly, but because he preferred to stay with the little girl instead of growing stronger with her.

"you……"

Her voice paused, then softened.

"Li Jing, I think you should know the principle of taking one step first and then the next."

Whether in life or in games, when you are ahead at the starting line, even if it is only a small step, from now on you will lead step by step. The strong will become stronger, the weak will become weaker, and the gap will become wider and wider, putting others behind. Far behind!

And now...

"Would you rather give up this opportunity to become stronger and stay with that girl?"

Liu Lingxue didn't believe that Li Jing didn't know what kind of long-term benefits he would give up. Seriously speaking, this was even equivalent to him personally cutting off a future that might become extremely brilliant!

But Li Jing nodded seriously and firmly.

"Yes."

"Li Jing, I hope you can rationally realize the fact that no matter what feelings you have for her, she is from this plane, and you only have seven days with her."

Seven short days, seven days without a future.

"I know."

"Then why?" Liu Lingxue looked at him in surprise.

"Because I made a promise to her to stay with her for the rest of her life."

"Although...it is a promise that is destined to be broken."

Li Jing turned to look at the blue sky outside the building.

"We players are just passers-by to this world, like birds that accidentally fly across the sky, leaving no trace after a brief glide."

"It's just that even if you are a passer-by, you still have a life as a passer-by."

"If I can stay in this plane for a lifetime, it will only be these seven days."

Li Jing smiled softly and said, "Then I will have to stay with her for the rest of my life."

Outside the inpatient building, under the green belt, Xiaoguai, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, suddenly paused and looked at the blue sky above his head.

A lifelong...promise...

Suddenly a bird flew across the sky, and a pink cloud flew lightly from the sky.

She covered her heart, not knowing why it suddenly beat so fast.

So fast.

in the building.

"I understand, if this is a decision you make after careful consideration."

"Then I respect your decision."

She turned around and gracefully held a sword flower in her arms. The snowflake-like sword energy pierced the core of the nightmare beast, giving her another sublimation of strength.

"Goodbye, Li Jing, I hope there will be a day when I can see you again."

Stepping over the body of the nightmare beast, her graceful and elegant figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

But there was a look of regret on his face, which was facing away from Li Jing.

She didn't want to judge whether Li Jing's choice was bad or good, but she just felt a little regretful.

Pity.

Originally, if he had accepted his kindness, he might have been able to excel in the next trial games, emerge, and become another ray of hope for mankind.

But he turned down such an opportunity, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

From now on, maybe when she looks back, she will never find Li Jing again.

Because by that time, the distance between the two had been stretched too far, so far that he could no longer appear in her sight.

When leaving the hospital, she stopped curiously outside the inpatient building and took a closer look at Xiaoguai, the little girl who made Li Jing give up his choice to stay in the future, and then left.

She does look pretty and cute, but there doesn’t seem to be anything special about her?
What made her feel a little baffled was that during her brief gaze, this little girl who looked weak and weak suddenly glared at her viciously for some reason.

The fierce look in her eyes reminded her of the resentful look in the movie when the little girl took away her sister's favorite toy when she was a child.

But no matter what happens between this girl and Li Jing or what happens next, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with her, right?

She also has her own things to do, and she can't stop for anyone. Even if they encounter any danger again, she can't help them.

So she could only wish them silently in her heart.

I wish you good luck on your next journey, Li Jing.

Goodbye.

At this time, Liu Lingxue did not know that when she was wishing Li Jing good luck, real misfortune was already staring at her behind her back.

Xiaoguai looked at her leaving back, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Her beloved toy was indeed almost snatched away just now.

It should be given to this ungrateful woman...

"My dear, are you still waiting for me here?"

At this time, Li Jing came down from the inpatient building.

"Brother Li Jing."

Xiaoguai immediately turned around with a smile on his face and stepped forward to hold his hand.

"That powerful sister has left. Thanks to her for saving us this time, and thanks to you, Brother Li Jing. If it weren't for you, little darling, I would have..."

She raised her head, her face full of emotion.

Yes, Brother Li Jing, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that you guys would have such a way to become stronger.

Kill the nightmare beast and gain source power.

Li Jing has no time to comfort Xiaoguai now.

The ground is not safe at all. Liu Lingxue is gone. Who knows if another nightmare beast will wander over later?
After touching the girl's head, he pulled her away immediately.

"Let's go to the storage room and move all the supplies quickly, little boy. No matter what happens in the next few days, we are absolutely not allowed to come out again!"
