Chapter 167

Roy felt he shouldn’t harbor any resentment toward Joshua just because he had been accidentally carried in the previous game.

Joshua’s a complete novice, as green as they came. It must have been an accidental slip, Roy wondered.

In fact, it really was just a slip. Joshua had intended to rush forward to protect Shermaine, but in the process of clicking on other skills, he inadvertently activated his ultimate ability, swallowing Shermaine whole.

With the enemy constantly attacking him, he ended up running away with Shermaine inside his character.

As a result, Roy charged in, only to have a perfect near–miss with the enemy.

Joshua had never been exposed to video games in his life. This was his first time playing, and despite having done some research beforehand, he found it very hard to adapt.

“No worries, Joshua. I could have survived that just now. It’s just that your moves threw me off,” Roy said.

Joshua remained expressionless and silent.

However, Shermaine couldn’t help but laugh. Their call was still connected, and Joshua could hear her laughter clearly.

Shermaine composed herself and said, “Let’s head back to base and heal up.”

“Sure,” Joshua replied. He had an extraordinary learning aptitude, but surprisingly, he seemed to be a black hole when it came to esports.

Joshua didn’t have many expectations when he started playing; he just wanted to be closer to Shermaine, to step into her world.

Fortunately, they still managed to break through the enemy’s defenses and win the match. Afterward, Shermaine decided she was done playing for the night.

Since Shermaine was done, Joshua naturally followed suit and logged off quickly.

After shutting down the game, Shermaine remembered something, and her fingers danced lightly over the keyboard. Soon, she found the forum and Twitter, where Shalene used to be very active before her mind went haywire.

Shalene was a girl who loved beauty. Her social media was almost entirely about makeup, fashion brands, and celebrity chasing.

The TV shows she watched were mostly melodramatic romance dramas, and she rarely watched any adrenaline–pumping anime.

It was clear that she wasn’t interested in anime.

‘So how did mechas and warplanes end up in her memory?‘ Shermaine wondered. ‘Perhaps it has something to do with the crystal coffin. If that’s the case, then this is really something.’

After all, such mechas and warplanes didn’t exist in the current civilization, and even in a few decades, they might not appear.

The universe is vast, and there are too many

unknowns.

Shermaine’s curiosity about the crystal coffin was piqued once again.

“Sheary?” Joshua said.

“Yes?” Shermaine snapped back to reality, closed her laptop, and seeing that it was getting late, she decided to chat with Joshua for a few more before going to sleep.

She sat on the bed with her phone, finally aligning the camera with her face, and teased slightly. “Mr. York, how was your experience playing the game

with us?”

Chapter 167

The experience was far from good. At any time, he was always the one who planned and strategized, allowing no room for any mistakes or riska However, when it came to controlling a game character, he stumbled.

Joshua looked at the video, where the lighting was a bit dim.

Shermaine’s skin was delicate, her eyes held a smile, her lips were a deep red, and her hair fell casually over her shoulders. Even through the screen, he was still captivated by her beauty.

Joshua had seen many beautiful women, but Shermaine was different.

At this moment, Shermaine was wearing pajamas that she had never worn when Joshua was around.

It was a two–piece set, with what seemed to be a camisole underneath and a thin outer garment on top. The outer garment was loose, revealing the graceful lines of her neck and the prominent collarbones.

Joshua’s throat felt a bit dry, and he wanted to drink some water. He slowly replied, “It was quite average.”

“You’re just making trouble for yourself.” Shermaine could guess his thoughts.

Joshua smiled, “Sheary, although the experience was quite average, I was still happy to play the game with you.”

Especially that skill of Tam Keech, swallowing Shermaine whole and running away with her, was particularly interesting.

‘Yes. A super terrible record, getting dominated by the enemy. We kept dying over and over. All the setbacks he’s never experienced in his life, he probably faced in the game,‘ she thought to herself.

Shermaine curled her lips into a smile and then lazily yawned. “I’m sleepy.”

Joshua noticed that Shermaine’s hair was a bit damp. “Dry your hair before you sleep.”

Without a shower cap, the back of her hair easily got wet during the shower.

Shermaine pulled the blanket up, lay on her side, and placed her phone aside. “It’ll be fine as it is.”

Joshua wanted to say something more.

Shermaine didn’t give him the chance, saying, “Goodnight, get some rest early,” and then abruptly ended the call.

With Joshua not by her side, he truly couldn’t do anything about her.

The long night stretched on, and so did the longing.

The next day, James drove with Kingston on the highway and finally arrived in Basterel around ten in the morning.

The murderer of Wendelyn was him. James directly handed him over to the police department, completed some procedural handovers with the authorities, and then drove away.

Immediately following, there was an overwhelming spread of news that Kingston had attempted to kill Joshua’s fiancée but failed, and had successfully murdered the Jean family’s adopted daughter, Wendelyn.

For a while, the stock market of Black River Company was in turmoil, teetering on the edge of danger.

Shermaine, apart from learning cursing skills from Bianca, had an additional task to occasionally observe Shalene.

Shalene had become particularly fond of drawing and was prone to talking nonsense, speaking words that others couldn’t understand.

Shermaine meticulously recorded everything.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was March 5th, the season when spring warms and flowers bloom,

The good news that came with it was that the skincare products Shermaine had developed, due to their incredible effectiveness, quickly sold like hotcakes after promotion. Within a week, the first batch of goods was sold out.
