Chapter 277: Automatic Correction

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

A video was playing on the screen and Lonemoon was standing on the stage. He was introducing something in a low voice. Sometimes, his voice sounded high and other times it sounded low. There were different sorts of background music playing as well.

Was this... a MADvideo1? Father Niu watches these too!

"it's pretty well-made," Shen Ying commented.

"Well-made my foot! Look at that face!" He pointed at the video and then pointed at himself. "It looks exactly like me!"

"And then?"

"This was made two years ago!" Lonemoon pointed at the title of the video. "I remember this was before I transmigrated, at a launch of one of our games. At that time, I had not yet transmigrated and had not begun training my body. I should not have looked like that."

As he spoke, he switched tabs back toBaidu2. He searched for more news about himself. Every single one of the images showed a Lonemoon that looked like how he did at present. "Look at these photos. I look exactly like the way I am now. I went back to the office as well. No one realised that I look different from before."

"Oh." Shen Ying pondered for awhile, then asked, "Could it be that the Plane corrected its own mistake?" Shen Ying continued tapping on her keyboard as she said, "You belong to this world. You transmigrated by accident and did not go through the proper channels. Now you're back. Maybe the world is trying to make sense out of your existence"

Automatic correction?

Lonemoon hesitated. "In other words, apart from you, everyone else thinks that I looked like that all along?"

"Yes." Shen Ying waved her hand. "Don't worry, it won't affect you."

"How do you know all of this?"

Shen Ying looked at him seriously. "Isn't this general knowledge about planes?"

General knowledge my ass! How come he never had such knowledge?

"Wait!" Lonemoon chewed over what Shen Ying had just said. "You said I didn't go through the proper channels to transmigrate. In other words... there are proper channels to transmigrate in this world?"

"I think so?" Shen Ying looked away.

"Are there or are there not?"

"I don't know either." Shen Ying shook her head. "I don't have much exposure to planes - I don't have a degree in it."

"We can learn about these things in schools?" Lonemoon rolled his eyes. "Where did you learn these things from?"

Shen Ying's hand began to tremble so that the sound of her typing slowed down a lot more as well. An indiscernible expression flashed across her face. A moment later, she replied, "I think it's better that you remain in the dark."

Lonemoon narrowed his eyes at her, as if suddenly thinking about something. "It wasn't your older sister, was it?"

"..." Shen Ying shivered.

"Where is she? Bring me to her!"

"I don't know. She stays away for one or two months at a time, but..." Shen Ying turned around, a serious look on her face. "You'd better not look for her."

"Why?" Lonemoon paused. How would he clarify matters if he did not look for her? "No way, I must see her. I'm going to wait for her right here."

Shen Ying frowned. "This is my house, you-"

Before she finished speaking, Lonemoon tapped gently on the iPad. Shen Ying's phone rang beside her.

[Di di! Received *** dollars onWeChat3.]

"Alright, Father Niu. No problem, Father Niu." Shen Ying's eyes twinkled. "Which room do you want to stay in? Do you want a cup of coffee? Do you want milk or sugar with that?"

"...'Retard.

Lonemoon rolled his eyes at the cheap brat. Suddenly, something on Shen Ying's screen caught his eye. "Oh yes, you were tapping non-stop on your keyboard earlier... Wait, isn't this the information bank from my company? What are you trying to do now?"

"Nothing?" Shen Ying laughed nervously. "I'm just deleting some useless information that I stored in your system earlier."

"Information?" Lonemoon's expression darkened. "Why did I see you on my online game database then?"

"Er..." Shen Ying cleared her throat. "I also changed my online game database while I was at it."

"..." F*ck you! Stop changing online game databases just because other people wouldn't be able to detect it!

Shen Ying had already re-opened the game, logged in and within ten seconds, got killed by her opponent.

Lonemoon, who felt the urge to beat her up: "..."

-_-|||

Her hacking skills were completely inversely proportional to her gaming skills. This was... refreshing.

How did you get killed so quickly?

"Indeed, the tenfold defence does not work. I should change it to hundredfold."

"..." That's enough - you might as well erase all the enemies from the game!

(╯°Д°)╯┻━┻

Lonemoon took a deep breath and scanned the woman who now resembled an internet addict beside him. He lowered his gaze and sighed, "Shen Ying, don't you want to return to that world?"

Shen Ying paused, finally looking up from her screen. "Father Niu, you want to go back?"

He hesitated and clenched his fists by his side. A moment later, he sighed again. "Yes!" Although only four or five days passed in this world, he had already lived for hundreds of years in that other realm. He was already used to life over there. Even if he belonged to this world originally, this world seemed extremely foreign to his present self. Everything that he was familiar with was in the other realm. "I want to go back!"

"Oh." Shen Ying frowned. A moment later, she said, "But... even if I have a way to send you back, the Godfiend would send you here again if you go back alone."

The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He had already thought of this. "That's why you have to freaking come with me!"

"I can't stay there for too long," Shen Ying shrugged.

"Why?"

"Because..." Shen Ying was just about to explain when her eyes widened as she recalled something. "That's right, what date is it today? What time is it?"

"Huh?" Lonemoon hesitated and glanced at the electronic calendar. "Isn't it the 10th? It's almost noon."

Shen Ying paled as she jumped out of her seat. "Oh no, you need to get out for awhile. Hurry!"

"What?"

"There's no more time." Shen Ying had been pushing Lonemoon out the door. She looked at the clock and pulled him back. "Quick, hide."

"Wait!" Lonemoon had no time to react before she pushed his head down underneath the table.

What the hell?

The next moment, a beep sounded from Shen Ying's computer. The image flickered. A figure of a woman who looked 80% like Shen Ying appeared on the screen.

"LIttle Ying." The woman spoke in a low voice.

Shen Ying shivered. She turned around as if in a daze, then she put on a forced smile. In an equally low voice, she answered, "... Big Sister."

"Why do you still look so pale after resting for so many days?" The woman on the screen frowned. "Did you slack off and wander off again?"

"No, no." Shen Ying immediately sat upright and shook her head furiously. With her back still straight, she said, "I did not go anywhere. I'm also finished all the follow-up work required. Really!"

She began to perspire...
