决斗

吃饭的时候，丝丝犹在懊恼没有早点来，否则说不定可以和肖奈邻桌而食，二喜打击她：“别做梦了，和肖师兄一起的人看上去都是社会人士，人家要谈事情的，肯定在包厢。”

During dinner, Si Si was still annoyed that she didn't come earlier; otherwise, she might have been able to eat at the same table as Xiao Nai. Er Xi打击她：“Stop dreaming. The people who sit with Senior Brother Xiao look like professionals; they're probably in a private room discussing business.”

晓玲在一旁欲言又止了半天，说：“我听说，好像肖师兄的公司出了点问题。”

Xiao Ling hesitated for a long time and then said, “I heard that it seems Senior Brother Xiao's company has encountered some problems.”

“不会吧。”

“Really?”

微微和二喜也一副不相信的样子，对计算机系的师弟师妹来说，肖奈那是神级存在，怎么可能会有问题。

Wei Wei and Er Xi also looked disbelieving. To the junior brothers and sisters from the Computer Science Department, Xiao Nai was a god-like figure; how could there possibly be a problem?

“我听大钟说的啦，大钟有个篮球队的队友，毕业了在肖师兄公司上班，前天他和大钟吃饭，喝多了不小心漏了点口风，好像是投资方出什么问题了吧，就这几天的事情。”

“I heard it from Da Zhong. Da Zhong has a basketball team teammate who works in Senior Brother Xiao's company. Three days ago, he had dinner with Da Zhong, and while drunk, he accidentally let slip some insider information. It seems like there’s an issue with the investors. This has happened just recently.”

丝丝说：“我还是不太相信，肖奈哎！”

Si Si said, “I still don’t quite believe it, Xiao Nai!”

微微正咬着鸡翅膀不能说话，闻言猛点头表示附和。肖奈哎！如果一个人很厉害很强大称之为牛，那么肖奈绝对是犀牛～～～犀牛，就是稀少的牛，罕见的牛……他也会有搞不定的事？

Wei Wei, unable to speak because she was busy eating chicken wings, nodded vigorously in agreement. Xiao Nai! If someone is very capable and powerful, they can be referred to as impressive; then Xiao Nai is undoubtedly a rhinoceros—rarer than common cattle... Could he also have problems he can't solve?

不过想起刚刚灯光下肖奈的神色，人前还是淡淡的笑意，转眼就是漠然，微微又不太确定了。

However, recalling Xiao Nai's expression under the lights just now, with his calm smile turning to indifference in the blink of an eye, Wei Wei felt uncertain again.

二喜若有所思的问：“是资金的问题？”

Er Xi thoughtfully asked, “Is it a funding issue?”

“不知道。”晓玲说着强调：“不保证可信度，不过就算是假的你们也别说出去哦。”

“I don’t know.” Xiao Ling emphasized, “I can’t guarantee its credibility, but even if it's fake, you guys don’t tell anyone, okay?”

“嗯嗯嗯。”微微咬着鸡翅含糊不清的点头，“保证不说，和今天的鸡翅一起消化掉。”

“Mm mm mm.” Wei Wei nodded with her mouth full of chicken wings, “I promise I won’t say anything; I’ll digest it along with today’s chicken wings.”

天才的世界毕竟太遥远了，几个女生讨论了一阵，很快又聊起别的话题。

The world of geniuses is still too far away. After chatting for a while, the girls soon moved on to other topics.

吃完饭回到宿舍，微微第一时间上了梦游江湖，可是诡异的，好友栏里居然一个人都不在，微微百无聊赖，想起夫妻PK大赛的事情，又跑去游戏论坛。

After finishing dinner and returning to the dormitory, Wei Wei immediately logged into the game "Dream Travels through Jianghu." However, strangely, there wasn't a single friend online. Feeling bored, Wei Wei recalled the couple PK competition and went to the game forum.

以前微微是很少逛论坛的，攻略也不怎么研究，因为她一直觉得玩游戏的乐趣就是探索，什么都知道了，就一点意思都没有了。

In the past, Wei Wei rarely browsed forums and didn’t study tips much because she always thought the fun of gaming was in exploration; once she knew everything, it would be meaningless.

不过后来和奈何结婚，出于对大神负责的心态，微微常常会去论坛逛逛，研究一下夫妻技能之类的东西，有阵子还研究了下生孩子，不过当看到生孩子需要洞房一小时，而且怀孕后女方技能会减弱，打斗多了还可能流产……

However, after marrying Nai He, out of a sense of responsibility towards the expert, Wei Wei often browsed the forums to research couple skills and such. There was a time when she even looked into having children; but upon seeing that having a baby required an hour in a bridal chamber, plus that the female character's skills would weaken after becoming pregnant, and that excessive fighting could lead to miscarriage...

微微立马打消了生孩子的念头。

Wei Wei immediately dismissed the idea of having children.

这个游戏真是太变态了！

This game is really too twisted!

微微在论坛逛了一会，没看到PK大赛的新消息，倒是看到了真水无香发的帖子，很热的飘在首页，主题是“（视频）『参赛』我们的故事——雨落水心涟漪香”。

After browsing the forum for a while and not seeing any new information about the PK competition, she discovered a popular post by Zhen Shui Wu Xiang floating on the homepage, with the title “(Video) Our Story — Raindrops on Water Heart Ripple Fragrance.”

“我们的故事”这个活动微微是知道的，是新近比较热门的活动之一。活动要求玩家用游戏录像的功能，录制一段梦游江湖里的爱情故事，长短不限，奖励丰厚，得奖者将由玩家投票选出。

Wei Wei knew about the “Our Story” event; it was one of the more popular events recently. The event required players to use the game’s recording feature to capture a love story within the game, with no length limit and generous rewards. The prize-winners would be chosen by player votes.

其实就是相当于用梦游江湖的录像功能录一段小电影的感觉，做起来并不难，所以不少玩家都参赛了。

It was essentially like recording a short movie using the recording feature in "Dream Travels through Jianghu,” so it wasn’t difficult, and many players participated.

看来真水无香也参赛了？

Looks like Zhen Shui Wu Xiang also participated?

微微好奇的进帖，帖子里是一个视频加几段文字，微微点开视频看了几分钟，貌似是讲述一个英雄救美，然后英雄追求美女的故事，主角正是小雨妖妖和真水无香，小雨家族的人也有在里面出现。

Curious, Wei Wei clicked into the post. The post contained a video along with a few paragraphs of text. She watched the video for a few minutes; it seemed to tell a story about a hero saving a beauty, followed by the hero pursuing the beauty, with the protagonists being Xiao Yu Yao Yao and Zhen Shui Wu Xiang, and members of Xiao Yu's family also making appearances.

再看了几分钟，却渐渐觉得不对味起来，为什么里面竟然有个叫鲁猥猥猥的女配角？

However, the longer she watched, the more she felt something was off. Why was there a supporting character named Lu Wei Wei Wei appearing in it?

而且这个鲁猥猥猥也是红衣背刀的女侠，她不时的出现在真水和小雨的身边纠缠真水，频频做出痛哭花痴之类的丑态，语言更是粗鲁不文，还带着芙蓉姐姐式的自恋，跟小雨妖妖时不时来句诗词的文雅成为明显对比。

Moreover, this Lu Wei Wei Wei was also a red-clad sword-wielding heroine. She frequently appeared beside Zhen Shui and Xiao Yu, entangling with them and displaying exaggerated emotional reactions like crying and behaving like an infatuated fool. Her speech was crude and unrefined, contrasting sharply with Xiao Yu Yao Yao’s occasional poetic elegance.

视频的结尾，小雨妖妖真人出来说了几句话，大意是希望大家支持之类的，视频下面的文字是真水的，情真意切地讲述了自己对小雨妖妖的感情，希望大家投票支持他们，说虽然奖励无所谓，但是很希望得到那套全服唯一的七彩情侣套装，因为老婆很喜欢。

At the end of the video, Xiao Yu Yao Yao appeared in real life and said a few words, essentially asking for everyone’s support. The text below the video was written by Zhen Shui, expressing his heartfelt feelings for Xiao Yu Yao Yao and hoping everyone would vote for them, stating that although the reward didn’t matter, he really wanted that unique rainbow couple outfit because his wife liked it so much.

微微越看越火大，这算什么！你要秀真情可以，为什么要拉别人出来搞笑料。

The more Wei Wei watched, the angrier she became. What is this! If you want to show your true feelings, that's fine, but why involve someone else as a source of humor?

关掉帖子上游戏，真水无香不在线，微微满腔怒火没处发，愤怒的敲了个消息过去。

She closed the post and logged out of the game. Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was not online. With her anger boiling over and no outlet, Wei Wei angrily typed a message.

“这样影射丑化别人很有意思吗？没想到你是这种人！”

“Is it fun to demean and distort others like this? I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!”

消息发了过去，仍然觉得气愤，可是好孩子微微又想不出什么恶毒的话来骂人，只好加倍郁闷的关了游戏睡觉了。

After sending the message, she still felt furious, but being a good girl, Wei Wei couldn't think of any vicious words to insult someone, so she reluctantly closed the game and went to sleep.

第二天微微一天的课，晚上九点才上线，一上线，好友栏就狂跳，点开，是真水无香的消息。

The next day, after a full day of classes, she logged in at nine o'clock at night. As soon as she logged in, her friends list was buzzing, and upon clicking, she saw a message from Zhen Shui Wu Xiang.

“OK，技不如人，我愿赌服输，视频我会删掉，和小雨重拍一个。不过就算这样，我也要解释一下，那个鲁猥猥猥不是我和小雨搞的，开始根本没注意，以为有人捣乱，也没联想到你的名字，另外你应该看出这个角色说的话和剧情一点关系都没有。后来拍完才知道是小雨家族几个朋友恶作剧，不过视频都拍好了，重来太麻烦，就没重做。这点我给你道歉，现在我也掉级了，算偿还你了，我们恩怨两清。”

“OK, I admit defeat. I’m willing to take responsibility for losing. I will delete the video and reshoot one with Xiao Yu. However, even so, I want to clarify that the character Lu Wei Wei Wei is not something Xiao Yu and I created. I didn’t notice it at first; I thought someone was messing around and didn’t connect it to your name. Besides, you should have noticed that what this character said had nothing to do with the plot. I only realized it was a prank by some friends from Xiao Yu's family after we finished filming. But since the video was already done and reshooting is quite troublesome, we decided not to redo it. I apologize for that. Now that I've lost a level, it counts as indemnity. Let’s end our grievances here.”

微微一愣，回过去：“什么愿赌服输，掉级又是怎么回事？”

Wei Wei was taken aback and replied, “What do you mean willing to take responsibility, and what’s with losing a level?”

真水无香在线，却没有回复过来。

Zhen Shui Wu Xiang was online but did not respond.

微微看看好友栏，奈何大神的名字闪闪发光，微微囧囧地敲过去：“大神，你是不是杀了真水啊。”

Wei Wei looked at her friends list, and Nai He’s name was shining brightly. She awkwardly typed, “Great God, did you kill Zhen Shui Wu Xiang?”

奈何：“苍翠山下，过来，BOSS。”

Nai He: “At Cang Cui Mountain, come here, BOSS.”

微微赶到苍翠山下，愚公爬山一看到她就喊：“嫂子，快来补一刀。”

When Wei Wei arrived at Cang Cui Mountain, Yu Gong noticed her immediately and shouted, “Sister-in-law, come and deliver a finishing blow.”

微微很汗的在boss身上补了一下，本来就只剩下一层血皮的BOSS轰然倒地，微微平白分到了一堆经验。

Feeling quite embarrassed, Wei Wei struck the already weakened BOSS, and the BOSS collapsed with a thud, leaving her with a pile of experience points.

Boss爆出来不少东西，大家分完，微微问奈何：“你是不是杀了真水无香啊？”

The BOSS dropped several items, and after everyone divided them up, Wei Wei asked Nai He, “Did you kill Zhen Shui Wu Xiang?”

奈何：“嗯。”

Nai He: “Yeah.”

呃，微微也不知道说什么好，貌似又麻烦到大神了呀。虽然是夫妻，可是微微更觉得自己和大神是合作关系，所以自己的事情应该自己解决才对。

Uh, Wei Wei didn’t know what to say. It seemed she had troubled the great deity again. Although they were a couple, Wei Wei felt more like she and Nai He were partners, so she should solve her own issues.

微微：“麻烦你了”

Wei Wei: “Sorry to bother you.”

奈何：“不会，我想杀他很久了。”

Nai He: “No worries. I’ve wanted to kill him for a long time.”

微微：“……为什么”

Wei Wei: “...Why?”

貌似大神和真水都没见过吧，怎么会有仇？

It seemed the great deity and Zhen Shui had never met; why would he have any grievances?

奈何：“看不顺眼。”

Nai He: “I just don’t like the look of him.”

微微：“。。。。。。”

Wei Wei: “…….”

果然是典型的大神答案。

As expected, that was a typical response from the great deity.

愚公爬山插嘴：“嫂子，你知道视频的事？”

Yu Gong interjected, “Sister-in-law, do you know about the video situation?”

微微：“嗯，昨天你们都没来，我无聊去逛论坛了。”

Wei Wei: “Mm, yesterday you all weren’t around, so I went to browse the forum out of boredom.”

莫扎他：“我们本来还想瞒着你。”

Mo Zha Ta: “We were planning to keep it from you.”

微微：“对了，真水无香怎么会掉级？PK不会掉级啊。”

Wei Wei: “By the way, how did Zhen Shui Wu Xiang lose a level? PKs don’t cause level loss.”

PK属于切磋范畴，就算输了也不会掉级的。

PKs are considered friendly competitions, and even if one loses, their level wouldn’t drop.

猴子酒：“不是PK，是决斗。”

Hou Zi Jiu: “It’s not a PK; it’s a duel.”
