1L: Of course I remember, they're very famous ok? At least most of the old players will still recognise
       this ID.
2L: They're a group of old players who started playing since open beta, they're extremely sick, at
       least half the boss guides posted on the forum are written by them.
3L: Correction, there were only 3 members at the start, after that although the members.h.i.+p 
       increased, but at the core was only the three of them.
4L: Aren't they DaiShan's ridiculous pervert guild's leader and the two a.s.sistant guild leaders,
       apparently you cannot mention the name of the guild, once mentioned your hand will be
       blackened for an entire week.
5L: Ha, they're from our server, there's always a lot of rumours about the 3 of them in the server,
       there are people who said that they're soldiers in the army, there's also people who said that
       they're military school students, two of them really don't go online often, but don't know why
       they're still more impressive than the other otakus.
6L: My deepest impression of them is when they used a week's time to explore how to travel around
       the entire world with a level 1 character, they even wrote a ten thousand word guide on it…
       What's the point of doing so!
7L: Haha, like they've only done a few pointless things. There's also that archer who single-handedly
       kited 10 wild bosses to the main city, f.u.c.k that, at that time none of the main cities in the servers
       got any moment to rest.
8L: Did you guys all forget, they're also beeeeep
9L: Too bad after beeeeep these three people pretty much disappeared, and they've never appeared
       publicly again.

[Whisper] NightWolf: Little Antelope…

When LingYang saw the three words sent by Night Wolf his heart stuttered, oh no oh no, what to do now?
His brain turned quickly, should he take this opportunity to admit it, or flatly deny it?
Or…
He took a deep breath.

[Whisper] Bell: You know about it already?
[Whisper] Bell: That's right, I'm the direct disciple of Little Antelope, Little Antelope is my
                             master.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Your master?
[Whisper] Bell: Do you still remember during that 7/7 dungeon when I talked about the
                             druid expert that I idolise a lot?
[Whisper] Bell: That's my master.
[Whisper] Bell: I used to be a DaiShan player, LuoMing Wind used to play there for awhile as
                             well, we met each other then, after that he moved to the new server, and asked
                             me to join him, so I ended up buying this account.
　　
[Whisper] NightWolf: Since you're not a newbie, why did you have to act so noob previously?
[Whisper] Bell: I already told you my hand is broken!
[Whisper] NightWolf: That's only one of the excuses right.
[Whisper] Bell: … Fine, then I'll tell you the truth now, the real reason I'm here is actually to
                             hide from my master.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Hide from your master? Why?
[Whisper] Bell: Because I cheated him out of 338,400 gold, not including the guild items and
                             point cards!
[Whisper] NightWolf: If I believe you again I'm an idiot.
　　
[Whisper] Bell: Don't don't don't, I'll say it I'll say it, the real reason why I'm hiding from my
                             master is…
[Whisper] Bell: He likes me, he confessed to me, but although I idolise him, but I cannot love
                             him, do you get it?
[Whisper] Bell: Idolisation and love, they're two very different emotions, when you idolise a
                             person, he is perfect and flawless in everything, but when you love a person,
                             you have to accept all his virtues and flaws, I cannot allow my idol to get off
                             his altar, so I can only choose to run away in panic!
[Whisper] Bell: But because I've been so strongly influenced by him, everything I know was
                             taught by him, as long as I expose just a little of my skills, I will be discovered
                             by him, so I have to be low profile!
[Whisper] Bell: Husband, on this server other than black-bellied Wind and idiot Buckle,
                             you're the only one that knows this secret, on behalf of our husband and wife
                             relations.h.i.+p, I hope that you can help me keep this secret! Please!!
　　
[Whisper] NightWolf: Are you telling the truth?
[Whisper] Bell: If I'm lying to you my last name isn't Ling!
(T/N: The 铃-Ling here is from LingDangEr and not LingYang.)
[Whisper] NightWolf: Your last name isn't Ling in the first place… Forget it, although I don't
                                        think your words can be trusted, but I will trust you tentatively for the
                                        last time.
[Whisper] Bell: I knew Husband is the best T^T Let's go complete some dungeons ok?
[Whisper] NightWolf: Let's go.
　　
[Whisper] Bell: Time for collusion! I'm now Little Antelope's direct disciple, please update
                             your files!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Master/Grandmaster: I've received it! — Respectfully,
                                                                       your disciple/grand-disciple
　　
[Whisper] Bell: Time for collusion! I'm now Little Antelope's direct disciple, please update
                             your files!
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: I've recorded it in my notes ?

　　※
　　
Today was LingYang's lucky day, not only did he settle the previous day's crisis in the game, more importantly, he could finally get rid of the cast that had accompanied him for the past three months, and return to being a healthy person.
Returning from YanShan's affiliated hospital, he was elated, and wanted to share this good news with people.

[Whisper] Bell: Husband, can you give me your QQ please?
[Whisper] NightWolf: No thanks.
[Whisper] Bell: I'll send you my photo.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Not interested.
[Whisper] Bell: It's a nude photo~ ~(≧▽≦)/~
[Whisper] NightWolf: Keep it for yourself.
　　
[Whisper] Bell: I promise the photo is in high definition, you will definitely not regret seeing it!
[Whisper] NightWolf: I'm afraid that after seeing it I'll stab myself in both eyes.
[Whisper] Bell: Don't speak too early, see it first, if not you can also give me your email (^o^)/

YeLang thought about it for a moment, and decided to send his email address over, after all there would not be any loss just by looking at a photo, SenLan and YanShan were so close, if they happen to meet in the future, he could also grab hold of him and beat him up.

[Whisper] NightWolf: [email protected]
[Whisper] Bell: Sent it already please open it ~(≧▽≦)/~
(T/N: The email address is spelt in pinyin, so LingYang wouldn't know if it's YeLang or Night Wolf.)

YeLang refreshed his inbox, there was really an email from [email protected], that was LingYang's alternate account, most people did not know about it, at this sensitive period, LingYang was definitely not stupid enough to use his actual account to send an email to Night Wolf.
As for Little Flying Antelope, it came from a cartoon movie that LingYang watched as a kid, by changing the last word, it became LittleFlyingAntelope.
(T/N: Dumbo is known as 小飞象-XiaoFeiXiang, the little flying elephant, LingYang changed it to 小飞羊-XiaoFeiYang, the little flying antelope.)
　　
YeLang opened the email sent by Bell, at that moment when he opened the photo, he had a sudden urge to chop off his hand if he ever believed the words of this person ever again.
Probably other than YanShan's medical school that group of perverts, anyone else would feel uncomfortable when they see a skeleton hand by surprise, even if it was only an x-ray.
Those ghastly bones, under the x-ray, were as clear as though they were exposed in the air, looking at it closely would only make a person s.h.i.+ver.
While the outline of that person's palm has been reduced to half-opacity, surrounding the bones, just like a glow.
　　
There was a scale on the x-ray, YeLang adjusted the photo according to the scale, making it a 100%, and placed his own hand onto it.
This hand was a little smaller than his own, the size of a person's hand usually correlate to their height, that person's height would not be short.
His fingers were more slender, his joints were not protruding, in comparison, YeLang's knuckles were more defined, and looked more masculine.

[Whisper] Bell: Husband is the photo nice, is it full of boney beauty ~(≧▽≦)/~？
(T/N: 骨感美- GuGanMei refers to a very thin beauty, but LingYang is referring to his bone-骨-Gu here.)
[Whisper] NightWolf: Can't tell that there's any injuries.
[Whisper] Bell: Because it recovered very well!

Actually under strong lighting the injuries could somewhat still be seen, but having been shot by LingYang's low quality phone, those details could not be made out.

[Whisper] NightWolf: You really got into a car accident?
[Whisper] Bell: Of course, what else could it be?
[Whisper] NightWolf: Not because of ice-skating or whatever?
[Whisper] Bell: ( ⊙ o ⊙) Husband why would you ask this?
[Whisper] NightWolf: Nothing, just asking casually.

Asking casually? LingYang's heart was full of suspicions, but before he could think further, he received a whisper from QiFeng.

[Whisper] LuoMingWind: I heard you went to the hospital today?
[Whisper] Bell: Eh~~ What kind of information network do you have?
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: So how?
[Whisper] Bell: Want to try it out?
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Now?
[Whisper] Bell: Of course.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Capture the flag?
[Whisper] Bell: If I do that with you we'll have an audience ok =。=
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Then you'll suggest.
[Whisper] Bell: Let's go to the desert, it's s.p.a.cious there.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: There's monsters there.
[Whisper] Bell: You don't dare?
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Let's go.

Both of them went to the desert, choosing a s.p.a.cious world, with no flags, they went into attack mode straight away.
LingYang was a druidic cleric, a rare type in the cleric profession, what was important in PK was to be nimble, whether attacking or healing, the feet should never stop, the body should always be moving like the wind.
QiFeng was a fighting type rogue, his weapon was a set of martial-arts movement, from near he could do hand-to-hand combat, from far he could release an energy attack, so as to balance his abilities to attack both near and far, his attack strength was not high, he mostly won by agility and having many attacking methods.
Both of their cla.s.ses had high movement speed, when attacking each other both were very fast, movement like ghosts unable to capture each other, the monitor only displayed the comet trails of both characters' skills, showing the speed of their movements.
　　
Clerics belonged to the ranged cla.s.ses, if enemies were to get close they would lose out, the druidic type had pretty good control over the land and wind, they could increase the distance between them and the enemies; the rogues could work both near and far, but to rely only on ranged attacks would not be enough, on this point, both sides were balanced.
The cleric wore normal clothes, the hp was buffed by its cla.s.s, and they could regenerate hp; the rogue wore light armour, its defence was higher than normal clothes, it had quite good evasion against both melee and spell attacks, these attributes were also comparable to each other.
A fight between these two cla.s.ses, they were essentially comparing each other's techniques, LingYang and QiFeng's standards were comparable, even their fighting style were somewhat similar, neither of them could get past the other.
　　
The battle area got wider, the disadvantages of the battlefield were then exposed, the red scorpion beasts in the desert were attracted to their battle, joining in, although the scorpions were only level 50, but as there were so many of them, with Bell's low armour defence, being attack consecutively would hurt her more.
LingYang saw that Bell's hp decreasing, he decisively summoned three tree spirits that could regenerate his hp to surround him, QiFeng noticing this he unconsciously sent out a wave of attacks, only to regret it once it was sent, as expected the other party was making him use his AOE skill, the scorpions that were originally attacking Bell now changed their targets to LuoMing Wind.
QiFeng seeing that the hatred of the scorpions could not be gotten rid off, and could only use his martial-arts movements to kill all the scorpions, and LingYang took advantage of this moment to refill his hp pool, together with the strength of the water element and his sick control of his skills, Bell was re-energised, looking like she had just started the battle.
　　
After battling for five minutes there was still no conclusive victor, the looting of the scorpion corpses was now free-for-all, glittering, upon seeing them LingYang's hands were tempted, he could not help but start looting while battling, although there was not much, but the meat of mosquitos were still meat.
When QiFeng saw this he found it both funny and exasperating.

[Local] LuoMingWind: While PK-ing you still remember to collect loot, what a pervert.

LingYang was speechless, while PK-ing you can still chat, you're not any better.
　　
After all LingYang had only just recovered, having not trained in awhile, he was unavoidably out of practice, in the end he could not beat QiFeng, the poor Bell was punched in the chest by LuoMing Wind, with a cry, she died.
As the both of them were PK-ing in the wild, the notice of Bell being killed by LuoMing Wind appeared on Pa.s.sionate Sword's guild chat.
Upon seeing the notice YeLang immediately used and teleported to the desert.

[Battle] NightWolf is enraged.
[Battle] NightWolf sends an attack towards LuoMingWind!

LuoMing Wind had already been attacked by Bell leaving only a trace of hp left, he had yet to recover, and was killed by Night Wolf who suddenly appeared.

[Local] LuoMingWind: Heheh.
[Local] Bell: Husband =。=
　　
[Whisper] Bell: We're only comparing notes with each other =。=
[Whisper] NightWolf: Seems like I'm only delaying your flirtations.
[Whisper] Bell: It's fine, good kill, let's leave the battlefield.
[Whisper] NightWolf: You want to leech again?
[Whisper] Bell: This time you'll leech from me ヾ(=^▽^=)ノ

[System] would like to revive you, do you accept? Confirm / Cancel
[System] would like to invite you to the party. Confirm / Cancel

Before leaving, LingYang did not forget to kindly revive the other corpse on the ground.

[Whisper] LuoMingWind: You've recovered well.
[Whisper] Bell: The doctor said so too.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: That was a pretty good battle.
[Whisper] Bell: Yeah.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: I recorded it already.
[Whisper]  Bell: Oh?
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Post it on the forum?
[Whisper] Bell: Don't tell anyone it's me.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: With your style who wouldn't be able to tell?
[Whisper] Bell: … Then forget it.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: How long do you think you can hide this for?
[Whisper] Bell: I'll just get by however I can!
　　
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Have you considered the 3P matter?
[Whisper] Bell: Yeah… You, me and who else?
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: LuoMing XiaoGe
[Whisper] Bell: That mage?
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Correct.
[Whisper] Bell: We can try it, when the new ladder starts we can team up and try it out.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Sure, we'll go look for you and discuss it in details then.
[Whisper] Bell: I'll go over instead.
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Why?
[Whisper] Bell: To conveniently look at the handsome guys in your school O(∩_∩)O
[Whisper] LuoMingWind: Haha.

YeLang had just reach the front of the queue for the arena, then he heard someone talking in his vicinity.
“Ah Lang, I couldn't tell, you're actually interested in this?”
“What?”
His roommate stuck his head out, YeLang's phone in his hand. “I'll look past the fact that you've stored someone's photos in your phone, but it's actually a guy?”
YeLang was displeased, “Didn't you say that your phone battery was flat so you're borrowing my phone to make a call, why are you looking through my photo alb.u.m?”
“I accidentally pressed on it, so I saw it, it's still a Taoist priest, pretty hardcore.”
“Return me my phone,” YeLang stood up and grabbed his phone, the screen happened to be on the photo his roommate was looking at.
While YeLang was exiting the app, a thought appeared:
LingYang, Little Antelope… Was this coincidental?
　　

The author has something to say:

So many people are trying to farm the notes… There aren't that many notes available!

Today's farming party members are [?], [XiuRanXiang], [Just] double, [AnAn] landmine and double hand grenades, their gears are all of MT standard…

Loot:
[LingYang's Notes #2] In Game Hidden Ident.i.ty: Druidic Cleric expert Little Antelope's direct disciple, old player from DaiShan server, because he could not accept his Master's confession to him, so he ran and hid in LinShan.

[LingYang's Notes #4] Relations.h.i.+p with People: Schoolmates with LuoMing Wind and T.Rex, friends with Little Buckle after meeting him at the hospital after the car accident, becoming his master after that.

The four notes are all the information for Bell's fake ident.i.ty, but as there are too many lies, there are some details even LingYang himself cannot keep track of, so there are still some missing content.
The author is very curious,

　　* * * * * *

Author: To all the players who want to kill the author, the players who have been fighting with the JJ servers to leave comments, and the players who have been communicating through their minds silently with the author, thanks for your company for the past one month, to buy boots for Brother Lang, and to change Little Antelope's gra.s.s feed to something better, and most importantly to provide the author with a more eye-catching advertis.e.m.e.nt s.p.a.ce, this novel will be VIP next week, on the day that it VIP there will be ten thousand words.

LingYang: Raise hand, I want spoilers! That day is also the day I'll meet Brother Lang face to face, would you guys like to guess whose ident.i.ty will be exposed first? Or will they be exposed together?
Author: But before the VIP happens there are 2 things that need to be clarified, first it's Brother Lang's current condition, you can call him pure-hearted, or you can call him dumb, any way he's weaker than others, even Little Antelope can easily bite him to death. Everyone can think of it this way, other tops are all max level 80, Brother Lang is currently level 1, other people are very strong, but they've already reached their peak, while Brother Lang has unlimited potential, and everyone has seen his innate talent. Brother Lang is only levelling slowly, which also means that he'll be at his current condition for very long. Also, the mental capabilities of guys who are in love will decrease (This is considered a big spoiler?), so he might actually become worse, wild wolves are already endangered, please let Brother Lang be pure-hearted for a little longer!

YeLang: Hmph.

LingYang: And second it's that Brother Lang will be blackened in the future! He's going to bully me! People who can't stand the blackening of Brother Lang should not buy this! Don't expect him to be gentle! That second-rate author completely does not know what is called gentle!
Author: … I'm letting you send a VIP message, not letting you chase people away, other people are all kneeling in thanks to those who buy VIP, what kind of att.i.tude is yours?

LingYang: Kneel? Why do I have to kneel? I'll only kneel in front of Brother Lang my entire life, I'll never kneel in front of anybody else!
Author: Sorry I didn't take care of my kid, letting him make a fool out of himself… Anyway the author's point of view is the same as LingYang, the blackened Brother Lang is bundled with the book, there's no returns or exchange, think before you buy! Also, this novel is not hardcore, there are no SM scenarios, if you're antic.i.p.ating this also forget about it……

LingYang: (softly) But for those antic.i.p.ating military uniforms, you can have that!

The author's writing principles can be found in the column, if you're interested you can keep them.
