Love at First Game

Episode 18 Finals

Scarlett greeted Vivian first:

"Vivian."

Vivian replied, surprised:

"Scarlett, you're here too?"

Scarlett smiled.

"Yeah, of course I came to this lively competition."

The two of them chatted casually for a few moments. Despite Vivian having a disagreement with Conqueror, it didn’t sour her relationship with Scarlett, and it seemed Scarlett felt the same way. After all, they didn’t talk for long during the competition, as the official PK started after three minutes.

Scarlett wasn’t really enthusiastic about PK, so she didn’t make it onto the PK leader board. However, her previous skills were actually superior to Vivian’s. But she hadn’t been around for a while, and Vivian caught up with her in terms of equipment, so their strengths were now evenly matched. Therefore, the determining factor for victory or defeat lay with Nathan and the Conqueror.

Hence, the outcome of this PK was self-evident.

After the PK ended, Scarlett sent a private message:

"Vivian, let’s find a place to chat later."

Vivian replied with a nodding emoji.

After all the matches for the day were over, Vivian and Scarlett found a place where no one was around to chat. In reality, Scarlett didn’t have any specific reason for reaching out to her. She just wanted to invite Vivian to join the group again.

However, Vivian politely declined, mentioning that she had been busy with exams recently and didn’t want to invest too much energy in the game.

Scarlett didn’t push her. It had been a while since Scarlett last appeared, so the two of them inevitably had a somewhat lacking conversation and an awkward moment. Then, Vivian remembered the gossip Natalie had told her and hesitated whether to remind Scarlett.

After contemplating for a while, even though she thought it wasn’t good to meddle in other people’s marital affairs, it wouldn’t be right to keep a friend in the dark. So she subtly said,

"There’s something I heard…"

She had only said half a sentence, and Scarlett understood.

"You’re talking about Ruby Ivy, right?"

Vivian was surprised.

"You know?"

Scarlett said confidently:

"Of course. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with her." She smiled. "The relationship between me and the Conqueror is not something she can destroy. I haven’t told you before, but we have actually taken our relationship into the real world. Otherwise, how could I have handed the gang over to him?"

Real world? Vivian was shocked for a moment, but she also understood that there was nothing more for her to say. As someone with no experience of love, she really didn’t know what to say. With Scarlett’s confident appearance, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any problems.

Vivian spent the end of May and early June engaged in fighting and preparing for exams.

In the game, she and Nathan maintained a perfect winning record and entered the finals of this server. In reality, at this moment, Vivian threw away her exam paper and exclaimed,

"I have no more exams to do, how lonely!"

Then she was hit by a pillow. Vivian happily hugged Elle’s big and soft pillow and logged into the game.

The timing was just right, at 7:30. Yesterday, Daniel Thorne had said he would be online at 7:30 today.

Nathan was already online because it was almost 8 o’clock. Vivian and Nathan decided not to do any quests and wandered around the game on the White Eagle.

Today was the day of the final match for the married couple PK contest on this service.

Their opponents in the competition were Scarlett and Conqueror, whom they had encountered in the qualifying rounds.

Close to 8 o’clock, the two of them flew back to Chang’an on the White Eagle and were about to form a team to enter the arena when a system announcement rolled out.

[System]: "Scarlett" and "Conqueror" have broken up, announcing their divorce. From now on, their marital status is irrelevant.

Vivian was stunned and almost doubted what she had seen. After confirming it twice, she quickly sent a message to Scarlett, but the message couldn’t be sent. Scarlett had set up the rejection of receiving any messages.

However, Natalie messaged Vivian, sounding excited:

"Vivian, what’s going on? Why did I see Conqueror and Scarlett’s guild leader divorcing as soon as I went online!!!"

Vivian replied,

"I don’t know either. The message couldn’t be sent; she set up rejection."

Natalie said,

"I’ll ask the people in the guild."

After a while, a message filled with anger came from Natalie:

"I knew it, it was that J person, Ruby Ivy!"

At this point, the world was already abuzz with discussions about this incident. Today’s final match was also garnering a lot of attention. Now, with this kind of situation happening on one side of the finals, it couldn’t help but provoke a lot of discussions.

After a while, people who knew the inside story started to come out and discreetly revealed that Conqueror and Scarlett divorced because of Ruby Ivy. Scarlett seemed to want to kick Ruby Ivy out of the guild, but Conqueror disagreed, which led to the confrontation.

The discussions grew more intense, with accusations flying. Vivian found herself caught in the ripple effects, feeling both uneasy and resigned to the drama.
