Chapter 1: The Unfortunate Jiang Xiaoyu

  Skyscrapers and bustling streets.

  Under a building, many people gathered, all looking up at the eighteen-story high-rise in front of them.

  Many passersby stopped one by one.

  On the top floor of the building, a man in casual attire stood.

  It seems like a suicide attempt, and the rescue team has arrived at the scene and made corresponding arrangements.

  "Brother, what's wrong? Come down quickly!"

  "Brother, life is just about living through this one lifetime, you can't just go like that, it's too unfair to life!"

  A man in casual attire, Jiang Xiaoyu, gazed absent-mindedly at the people below, then pulled out a cigarette from his waist and lit it.

  I remember drinking too much last night, then coming to the rooftop to get drunk, and... I think I fell asleep right here! Then, I woke up myself, stood up to blow some wind, didn't expect that just a little while later, there were many people standing downstairs...

  This group of people thought they were going to kill themselves! Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaoyu was confused. Guys, I'm just blowing some air, do you have to make such a big fuss? How are we supposed to wrap things up now?

  Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a headache. In order to avoid letting the rescue team work in vain, he decided on one thing.

  He took a deep drag on his cigarette, then Jiang Xiaoyu casually flicked it away and shouted: "Don't hold me back! Let me go die!"

  Everyone below was stunned for a moment, is this guy joking? Who the hell pulled him up? Is he from a mental hospital? As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Xiaoyu regretted it a bit, and it seemed that this sentence had some problems.

  But jumping off a building is no small matter, and nobody would care about such trivial details.

  The negotiation expert had arrived at the top, looking at Jiang Xiaoyu in the distance, and was out of breath. You say that this young man now has nothing to do with playing self-destruction? Looking around, there were new empty wine bottles, and the negotiation expert immediately made a decision.

  This is a broken heart!

  "Sir, calm down first." The negotiation expert was a middle-aged man who tried his best to smile kindly.

  Hearing the voice behind him, Jiang Xiaoyu turned around. He really wanted to tell the truth and in fact he did say the truth, "I'm very calm now!"

  Calm? Calm your ass, how can I stand here right now? Of course, this is just what he thinks in his heart. A negotiation expert would never say it out loud, afraid of directly provoking Jiang Xiaoyu and making him jump down immediately.

  "I know you're calm now, why don't we come down and talk about it?" said the negotiation expert gently.

  To be honest, Jiang Xiaoyu really wants to calm down and have a good chat with the other party now, and then everyone will be happy, but would doing so be too unprofessional? If the other party finds out that she's not suicidal, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? For the sake of her own dignity, this play must be performed to the end!

  "Let's just talk like this, I, cough, need a bit of wind to blow on me, will be more awake." Jiang Xiao Yu shrugged.

  "Can you tell me, why do you have suicidal thoughts? I took a look around and it seems like you were drinking here last night..." The negotiation expert didn't think that one sentence could get the person to come down.

  Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a moment, and since he considered himself an honest, kind-hearted, and handsome "three-good youth", he decided to tell the truth. "Yesterday our gaming guild disbanded, I wasn't feeling too great, so I bought some wine and came up here to drink. You know how it is, there's no way to avoid the smell of alcohol at home, and if you throw up, it's a real hassle to clean up. Oh yeah, the game was called 'Jue Shi Tian Xia'".

  "What a ridiculous thing to say! I've played that game too!" The negotiation expert said in surprise.

  This is absolutely not pretentious, he's really surprised! This game is very popular, but what surprises him is not this, but the surprise of his own judgment, and also the surprise of how the other person's brain is grown!

  It's not a broken heart, but something even more stupid than dying from a broken heart. It's because the game guild was disbanded, so I'm going to die! Negotiation expert, who thinks their own judgment is definitely correct this time.

  "Really? Which district are you from? I'm from Dahe District!" Jiang Xiaoyu blinked her eyes.

  "What the...! I'm also from Dahe District, which guild are you from?" The negotiation expert's eyes widened. He now wanted to think of every possible way to prevent his opponent from having suicidal thoughts for the time being, and as it happened, he was indeed from the same district as Jiang Xiaoyu.

  "Alas, the joys of being born...!" As he said this, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed slightly, his expression somewhat despondent.

  Dahai District is an old district, he is a veteran of the guild, and the guild was dissolved, he naturally felt sad... So now his expression is not pretending, but true feelings revealed.

  But the negotiator also became tense, damn it! He really was which pot doesn't open mention which pot, the other side is thinking of killing themselves because of the guild, and he's still talking! Thinking about this, he really wanted to give himself a big slap in the face!

  But Extreme Joy is a big guild! Ranked first in the Grand River District, and definitely top three in the entire district! How can it disband suddenly? I didn't play the game yesterday, so I really don't understand what's going on.

  "It's all just a fleeting memory." Jiang Xiaoyu lit another cigarette and sat down at the edge of the stage.

  "Afternoon gatherings that don't disperse, and even if they do, it's not like there's no way to reorganize! Many guilds have disbanded and then rebuilt. If you just give up like this, the joyful songs of life will really become memories!" The negotiation expert stirred up the other party's desire to survive.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up instantly, although he wasn't thinking of killing himself, but still felt that the other person made a lot of sense. That's right, there is hope! Those guys actually didn't give up either, otherwise they wouldn't have said those words with a sad tone last night...

  Seeing the change in his expression, the negotiation expert was delighted, it seemed like there might be a chance.

  So he continued to urge: "If I were you, I would go home immediately and quickly build the guild name, otherwise what if someone else grabs it? What if the reputation of Extreme Music is ruined?"

  People who commit suicide for different reasons will naturally use different methods. But honestly, I've never encountered anyone committing suicide for a game before!

  "That makes sense!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.

  The guild is disbanded, so the name naturally does not exist anymore. If someone changes this name, he will definitely be very unhappy.

  Jiang Xiaoyu stood up, he really wanted to hurry back home and play games, and occupy the guild name first! Is it still possible now? Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know, but he had to try anyway.

  "What's holding you back?" The negotiation expert urged.

  "I'm going home now!" Jiang Xiaoyu threw away his cigarette and was about to get down when his foot suddenly twisted.

  And then there was no then...

  To be honest, having lived for 23 years, Jiang Xiaoyu still didn't know how he was living. When he was young, it was eating, sleeping and going to school. After growing up, except for replacing going to school with going to work, there was almost no change.

  Going to work is just another way of going to class, there's no difference, it's just that you get a salary and what's called responsibility.

  Until he played the game "Jue Shi Tian Xia", where he met many interesting people and made friends with them. Every day after work, it seems to have added some fun, life has added a part, a very good part.

  But last night, that good part was gone. He was heartbroken and unhappy! So he drank to vent his emotions. But he really didn't think of committing suicide, this he could swear to heaven.

  The lifesaving team's air cushion had not been fully set up yet, but Jiang Xiaoyu still fell down like this.

  The negotiation expert was stunned, they were clearly getting along well and the other party was about to agree, but somehow it all fell through. He sat on the ground with a thud, at a loss for what to do.

  And the onlookers downstairs couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands. Driven by human instinct, they couldn't bear to look directly at this thing.

  No one noticed that Jiang Xiaoyu's phone in his pocket had received a message: "Yuzi, I still can't bear to part with the guild, so I rebuilt it..."

  ……

  At the moment of facing death, Jiang Xiaoyu discovered for the first time that his brain could turn so fast. He recalled many things, such as his first love, his first job, his first drink... and his last drink.

  Life is always full of drama, you clearly don't want to commit suicide, but in the end you still die from it, at least that's how it seems to others.

  I don't want to die! This was Jiang Xiaoyu's last thought.

  Dazed and confused, Jiang Xiaoyu opened her eyes to find that her head was throbbing with pain.

  He turned his head and vaguely saw a figure moving, then he fainted again...
