Chapter 35: Friendship

Chatting with the mirror always made Xing Ye's mood better. Xing Ye noticed that their intimacy points were now at 18, still a little away from 20. There was a prompt reminding Xing Ye that every time the rules were violated, the mirror would be sealed away for a short period of time. It also warned that if he tried to breach the rules three more times, the mirror would be redistributed to another game world by the system.

The first time, Xing Ye had just asked casually and the system didn't warn him. Now, it seemed to be telling him that the mirror's life or death depended on him.

Furthermore, the system never mentioned what he could or could not ask, nor did it say how many intimacy points were required before he could ask certain things.

However, there were still some clues they could infer from. For example, how the mirror suddenly discovered he could tell Xing Ye his starting skills and took the initiative to show him them.

That means that he could only know if the mirror could say it. If the mirror didn't want to or he couldn't, Xing Ye couldn't continue asking.

It sounded like everything followed the mirror's whims and he held all the control, but in fact, Xing Ye held complete power over the mirror's life. If there was ever a day where he grew disgusted with the mirror, all he had to do was ask three things he wasn't allowed to and the mirror's fate would be passed along to be controlled by some other master.

They seemed to hold an overwhelming superiority when they were really just being manipulated by others. Was this the conclusion for the following fate players?

From now on, he couldn't just continue to negligently ask things. If the mirror wanted to say it, he would and if not, it's up to him.

"I'm sorry, I got you sealed away again." Xing Ye tapped the mirror, not sure whether he could hear him. "I promise I won't let this happen again."

The mirror's surface was still black, without any reflection.

Xing Ye held the mirror as he slept, an unsettling feeling lingering in his heart.

To Xing Ye, the mirror's fate was equivalent to Xing Shuo's fate.

Xing Shuo already died. Xing Ye even had the forensic scientist dissect his body. Although it was stitched back up afterwards, could he really still come back to life? The chance was exceedingly slim, just like the opposing fate camp's 1% luck stat. It'd only be possible if a miracle happened.

The more he thought like that, the better Xing Ye wanted to treat the mirror. Sometimes, he would naively think that with how good he treats the mirror, then if his little brother turned into a prop, there would be somebody who treats him just as kindly.

Logic told Xing Ye that such thinking was complete nonsense, a mere pipe dream. There was no such thing as karma in the real world. Kindness would usually only be met with endless demands.

Even knowing that, he still wanted to cling onto that 1% miracle. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what he worked hard for anymore.

When he woke up at 11, the mirror had lit up again. "I know" glowed on his surface. He had evidently heard Xing Ye's apology, but he was still a little angry for being shut up in that little black room again.

The mirror didn't seem to understand that if it happened three more times, he would be sent off drifting through the game worlds again.

"I'm going to go fight with Di Kuang's team now. Sleep well, I'll chat with you when I come back."

After pacifying the mirror, he changed into a set of athletic wear and stuffed some paper into his pockets before going to the girls dormitory.

Di Kuang and Guan Ling were already waiting downstairs. Xing Ye raised a brow- Guan Ling was the one coming?
