“Miss Ouyang, is there something you need?” the shop manager asked in surprise as Ouyang Xue stepped inside.

“He’s a friend of mine. He wants to buy a headset for Super God Domain. I was wondering if you could make an exception for him?” Ouyang Xue asked the shop manager.

“Of course. Since it’s a request from you, Miss Ouyang, we’d never refuse,” the manager said, nodding without hesitation.

Super God Corporation and Ouyang Corporation had already begun working closely together.

There was no need to offend the little princess of the Ouyang Family over a headset.

“What kind of headset would you like, Miss Ouyang?”

“Two Supreme Headsets.” Ouyang Xue pointed to the ones displayed on the top shelf.

If she was buying one, of course she’d go for the most expensive.

Besides, she knew the Supreme Headset had advantages over the regular model.

The Supreme Headset offered a perfect 99.9% virtuality, and even came with five free attribute points.

The other headsets not only offered a worse experience than the Supreme Headset, but didn’t come with the five free attribute points either.

“A regular headset is fine,” Mo Bai said.

He wanted the Supreme Headset too, of course. Those five free attribute points could bring him a huge benefit.

But he didn’t want to owe Ouyang Xue a favor.

He felt that if he accepted this gift, his life would become a lot more troublesome from then on.

“In all four years of college, I never gave you a single present. For old times’ sake, just take the headset.” Ouyang Xue took the Supreme Headset from the manager and pleaded with Mo Bai.

“Th-this, I really…” Mo Bai said, rubbing his temples.

“If you don’t accept it, I’m going to cry, you know?” Ouyang Xue puffed out her cheeks in protest.

“All right, all right. I’ll take it,” Mo Bai said, at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How was it that some people actually forced others to accept gifts?

“Then thank you, Classmate Ouyang. I’ll pay you back someday,” Mo Bai promised.

Once he’d made some money, he’d pay Ouyang Xue back for the Supreme Headset.

“I’ll look forward to your repayment.” Seeing Mo Bai accept the headset, Ouyang Xue looked satisfied.

“Now that we’ve bought the headsets, I’ll get going.”

“Goodbye, Classmate Ouyang!” Mo Bai said, then hurriedly fled the specialty store.

He silently added, Never again.

“W-wait! You haven’t given me your contact information yet!” Ouyang Xue called after Mo Bai as he vanished from the store like the wind.

But Mo Bai had already guessed that Ouyang Xue would ask for his contact information. There was no way he’d turn back and give it to her.

He had no desire to get tangled up with Ouyang Xue and her endless trouble.

“Hmph. You think not telling me means I can’t get your contact information?” Ouyang Xue picked up the form Mo Bai had just filled out and flashed a little devilish smile.

... ...

By then, Mo Bai had returned to his rented apartment.

He kept running his fingers over the golden Supreme Headset in his hands, a look of nostalgia on his face.

In his previous life, he’d eventually switched to a Supreme Headset to make his in-game character’s simulation more accurate.

In this life, he’d gotten his hands on a Supreme Headset early.

Everything had changed.

“The butterfly has already flapped its wings. Reborn, I’m bound to unleash a storm!” Mo Bai said, his expression full of resolve.

He picked up the headset and lowered it over his head.

And then, all fell silent.

Every sound disappeared.

“Super God Domain connected.”

“Welcome, player, to the world of Super God Domain.”
