Volume 1, Chapter 45: His Luna Can Do Endless Moon-Slashes

Page 1/3

Shen Xiaokun seemed completely oblivious to Shen Qi’s disapproval.
“Uh... I’ve been practicing the piano for nearly two hours, and I just finished resting.”
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow, eyeing Shen Xiaokun, who looked hesitant to speak.
“Did I tell you to practice? If you’re tired, then don’t practice.”
Shen Xiaokun’s face darkened.
[Hey? Shen Qi seems to be in a really bad mood today.]
[Of course, would you be in a good mood if you just got beaten up? But I’m curious—what exactly did Shen Qi get beaten up for?]
[Probably because of Xiaokun. Maybe abusing Xiaokun was discovered by the Queen of Songs. You see how he’s upset with Xiaokun now.]
[A lazy man living off the Queen of Songs, enjoying her big mansion and spending her money, and he still acts unhappy? Who is he showing attitude to? Serves him right!]
[Nonsense! Brother Qi has a job; he’s an online novelist!]
Shen Xiaokun seemed to have something to ask of Shen Qi and didn’t get angry despite Shen Qi’s bad attitude.
Shen Qi immediately noticed this little nuance.
“According to your daily plan, what else do you need to study this morning?” Shen Qi asked.
“I... I don’t have much planned today,” Shen Xiaokun replied. “I’ll be resting until lunch.”
Shen Qi suspected that after Shen Xiaokun reported to Li Huange, he might have been trying to use Li Huange to pressure Shen Qi into writing songs.
“Do as you please, but I suggest you go upstairs.”
Shen Xiaokun immediately looked puzzled, then put on a sly expression, as if trying to find out a secret.
“You must have something going on! Are you trying to get me out of the way so you can do your own thing?”
Then Shen Xiaokun seemed to have a realization.
“Alright, Shen Qi! Are you trying to write songs to sell to others for private profit? What, you only made fifty thousand selling to my mom, but you make more selling to others, don’t you?”
[Wow! Luckily Xiaokun is smart; Shen Qi really has a lot of schemes.]
[Maybe it’s because he’s writing online novels too?]
[This man has too many secrets; I’m really anxious.]
[Xiaokun, don’t be fooled by him!]
Shen Qi rolled his eyes. “Think whatever you want.”
Shen Xiaokun truly disliked Shen Qi’s indifferent attitude, but he still had something on his mind.
He softened his expression and tried to negotiate with Shen Qi.
“Promise me one thing, and I won’t interfere with whatever you do.”
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow. “You talk as if you control me…”
“You…” Shen Xiaokun clenched his anger. “Play a few rounds of Honor of Kings with me. I’m almost at Diamond rank.”
Shen Qi was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
No matter how mature the kid was, age was age. Even someone like Shen Xiaokun was still influenced by mobile games.
But Shen Qi had played with Shen Xiaokun before and knew his skills were quite good. Not only could he reach Diamond in solo queue, but even Star rank was within reach.

It was just that the season had just started, making it harder, with many boosting and smurf accounts around.
“That’s it?” Shen Qi chuckled.
Shen Xiaokun looked a bit embarrassed but nodded and explained.
“I have a team, and I’m the captain. As captain, I have to be in the top three ranks!”
“Right now, I’m third, so I need to secure it.”
Shen Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
In Shen Qi’s mind, first, a child should be just a child—lively, playful, and gaming was part of childhood nature.
Second, he was genuinely worried that Shen Xiaokun might cause trouble for him.
Third, he didn’t want to strain their relationship too much, since Shen Xiaokun was extremely important to the financial backer, his mother.
“Two rounds! No more!” Shen Qi held up two fingers.
Shen Xiaokun held up five fingers. “Five rounds!”
After arguing for a while, they finally agreed on three stars.
Then, both their phones simultaneously showed the game loading sound.
“Time!”
“Time!”
The difference was, Shen Xiaokun’s phone was high-performance and the latest model, while Shen Qi’s phone was old and battered, with a cracked screen and distorted sound.
[Wow, this deadbeat dad playing games with his son—Queen of Songs is watching closely now, and she’s definitely going to beat Shen Qi from both sides when they get home.]
[Now it makes sense. This kind of thing is really important to a kid.]
[Good thing he agreed, or else I’d castrate you.]
[Shen Qi, be careful. Win too many stars, do you know how many people are in Xiaokun’s fan club?]
[What? Pretending Shen Qi’s fan club doesn’t exist? Planning patricide?]
Watching the chaotic comments flood in, Li Huange’s expression darkened.
She had high hopes for Shen Xiaokun, fully aware he was a prodigy. She had actually laid out two paths for him:
One was to attend Tsinghua or Peking University, the other was to become an artist.
Both paths already showed dazzling promise in Shen Xiaokun.
So, Li Huange fundamentally did not want Shen Xiaokun to get addicted to gaming.
Bai Qinghe and Lin Xiaolu exchanged glances, both sensing confusion and a shift in their understanding.
Mom’s not home, dad’s at home playing games with the kid, and the internet isn’t even criticizing it much?
“Queen of Songs, I have to say something. Look at what Shen Qi is doing behind your back—Xiaokun is so sensible, yet he’s leading Xiaokun into game addiction?” Bai Qinghe frowned.
Though Li Huange didn’t want Shen Xiaokun to play games, she hated Bai Qinghe’s nagging.
She turned her head and gave Bai Qinghe a light glance, her tone calm and cold:
“What? Should Xiaokun not say a word at home? Should Xiaokun be terrified like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he sees his own father?”

Bai Qinghe was stunned, then her face flushed red, but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out.
Lin Xiaolu, who couldn’t stand Li Huange’s domineering and self-righteous attitude, chimed in:
“No matter what, playing games with the kid is still wrong, right?”
Li Huange glanced sideways at Lin Xiaolu.
“So, is it okay for the kid to sneak around playing games and cursing?”
“You…”
Zhuo Yiyi almost couldn’t hold back laughter and quickly covered her mouth, turning her head away.
Phew... that felt good...
Her own kid was poorly disciplined, yet she was so eager to criticize others’ kids. Zhuo Yiyi’s sense of justice flared up, and she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Soon after, Shen Qi and Shen Xiaokun stormed through the game’s arena!
With Li Huange’s permission, their phone screens were clearly broadcast live.
At the start of the game, Shen Qi seemed determined to quickly deal with his troublesome son, unleashing all his skills without holding back, stunning everyone with a series of dazzling moves.
Suddenly, several bright red comments appeared on the screen.
“I’m not calm anymore; Shen Qi’s Luna play is just too impressive.”
“Smooth combos—once he locks on the opponent, they just disappear!”
“If I invented the ‘Moonlight Infinite Combo,’ then Shen Qi’s is like ‘Moonlight Match-Up’!”
“I’m convinced!”
Li Lei smiled and explained:
“This is our online guest, Zhang Xiaoxian, a famous Honor of Kings streamer!”
“Wow! My idol!”
“Even Zhang Xiaoxian, the inventor of the Moonlight Infinite Combo, is impressed? Is Shen Qi’s Moonlight Match-Up really that powerful?”
“A dizzying display of skill! Our country’s Luna has met her match!”
“One versus five, a pentakill, and still full health? How cruel can you be?”
Ten minutes passed.
“Victory!”
Shen Xiaokun stared dumbfounded at the results screen showing Shen Qi’s 19-0-5 stats, his eyes wide.
Shen Qi’s voice rang out:
“What are you waiting for? Quit the results and start the second round!”
At the start of the second round, Shen Qi picked Lü Bu and immediately taunted the opponents:
“In ten minutes, come to the top lane together and find me—I’ve got to hurry and cook!”
