"What's a good name for this Silver Moon Tiger..." Jiang Luoyu pondered, clearly delighted with the pet Lin Jichen had given her.
It wasn't just because it could be raised to the Golden Core Realm and become a powerful helper, but more because it was a gift from Lin Jichen.
Such a precious thing, and Lin Jichen didn't ask for any payment, he just gave it to her for free.
This put Jiang Luoyu in an exceptionally good mood. Normally reserved and serious to maintain her image as the guild leader, she couldn't hide her smile now.
"Why not name it Lin Jichen?" Su Wanling suggested mischievously, clearly envious that she didn't get the pet.
Jiang Luoyu rolled her eyes at her, then looked at Lin Jichen and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Lin Jichen scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "How about calling it Hu La Ba Ji? I think it sounds cool."
Jiang Luoyu was silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Now I know why your panda is named Panda Xiong. You're really something with names," Jiang Luoyu giggled.
"Of course," Lin Jichen boasted, thinking she was genuinely complimenting him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Luoyu's next words were, "Next time, you're not allowed to name anything."
Lin Jichen's face fell. Come on, what's wrong with the name Hu La Ba Ji?
Both of her friends were terrible at naming, so Jiang Luoyu decided to do it herself. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's call it Ah Bai. All our pets have names like that—Ah Nan, Ah Li, Ah Nai, Ah Qiao... so many."
This was Jiang Luoyu's first pet, even though it was virtual, she was still very happy.
"Let's go, let's clear the Secret Realm together. I'll take Ah Bai to level up," Jiang Luoyu called out, and the Moon Shadow Guild members began preparing to enter the Secret Realm.
At that moment, a group approached, unmistakably from Li Fengwen's Blood Fiend Guild.
As soon as Li Fengwen arrived, Jiang Luoyu had someone stop them.
Seeing Li Fengwen, Lin Jichen suddenly felt suspicious and quietly hid his right hand in his sleeve, deliberately making it look like he was hiding something.
"What does your Blood Fiend Guild want? If you're looking for trouble, you're always welcome!" Su Wanling took the lead and coldly confronted Li Fengwen.
The Moon Shadow Guild had long been mortal enemies with the Blood Fiend Guild, their feud dating back to shortly after the game's public beta.
Even if it wasn't because of Lin Jichen, Su Wanling would never show the Blood Fiend Guild any kindness.
In fact, the two guilds were constantly clashing in the game. Whenever their teams met in the wild, a fight was inevitable.
Li Fengwen forced a smile and said, "Relax, I'm not here for the Moon Shadow Guild. I just want to talk to Lin Jichen."
"Didn't you learn your lesson last time? If you dare to touch Lin Jichen, our Moon Shadow Guild will send all of you back to the resurrection point at your sect!" Su Wanling shouted fiercely.
Jiang Luoyu simply said, "Everyone, be on guard."
In an instant, the Moon Shadow Guild members drew their weapons, ready for a fight.
Li Fengwen's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Don't think I'm afraid of you. I said I'm not here to fight today, so get out of my way!"
Unfortunately, no one believed him.
At this moment, Lin Jichen stepped out from the group of girls and walked up to Li Fengwen, asking, "What do you want?"
Li Fengwen was taken aback. It was the first time he heard Lin Jichen speak to him so politely.
When had Lin Jichen ever spoken to him without sarcasm and mockery, always fearless and often rubbing salt into the Blood Fiend Guild's wounds?
And with his strong in-game skills, he was never afraid of the Blood Fiend Guild's attacks.
Why was he suddenly being polite?
Li Fengwen instinctively looked at Lin Jichen's right hand and noticed it was hidden, as if he didn't dare to show it, or was deliberately hiding something.
Li Fengwen seemed to have guessed the reason and a smug smile appeared on his face.
After the lesson of losing a finger, this kid was finally scared, afraid of further retaliation.
Yes, that must be it!
Otherwise, why would Lin Jichen seem like a different person?
After all, those keyboard warriors online are all the same—brave on the internet but cowards in real life.
Last time, when they kidnapped Lin Jichen, his subordinates told him Lin Jichen was scared out of his wits, begging for mercy, almost wetting himself.
Lin Jichen must have been thoroughly educated and wouldn't dare act arrogantly anymore.
After all, he knew someone could find out his information and address.
Li Fengwen couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling extremely pleased.
He looked at Lin Jichen with a mocking gaze and said, "I just came to see how you're doing, nothing else. Now that I see you're doing well, I'm relieved. Goodbye."
With that, Li Fengwen turned and left, feeling triumphant.
This bizarre behavior left the Moon Shadow Guild members bewildered.
What did Li Fengwen mean? He came over, said some incomprehensible things to Lin Jichen, and then left. It was too strange.
Jiang Luoyu walked up to Lin Jichen, having guessed the general situation.
She asked softly, "Did he threaten you in real life?"
Lin Jichen nodded noncommittally and said, "At first, I wasn't sure who it was, but now, the answer is clear."
"Are you okay? Are you safe now?" Jiang Luoyu's expression turned worried, and her tone became anxious.
Lin Jichen calmly shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"Impossible, otherwise why would Li Fengwen be so smug?"
Jiang Luoyu also noticed Lin Jichen's hand hidden in his sleeve. Worried, she grabbed his hand and pulled up his sleeve, only to find no wounds.
Lin Jichen smiled and said, "I wasn't lying. I'm really fine. He got the wrong person. I was just acting to see if it was him."
Jiang Luoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was okay, she quickly let go of his hand.
Then, her face turned icy cold, exuding a chilling aura.
"It's my fault for not hiding your information well," Jiang Luoyu said, blaming herself.
Lin Jichen shook his head and said, "You can't blame yourself. I'm just an ordinary person, a college student. It's not hard for them to find out my identity."
Jiang Luoyu looked at Lin Jichen with sincere eyes and said, "Trust me, let me arrange some bodyguards for you. Don't worry, I mean no harm."
Lin Jichen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and apologized, "No need, I can handle it myself."
It wasn't that he didn't trust Jiang Luoyu, but he didn't trust the bodyguards.
After being betrayed once, it was too difficult for Lin Jichen to easily trust someone and entrust his safety to them.
Even though he knew Jiang Luoyu genuinely cared for him, bodyguards in the previous life’s Tale of Immortal were unreliable and untrustworthy.
Moreover, Lin Jichen didn't want his life to be disturbed, living under someone else's watch and control.
