SBWE Chapter 06

180L: *Patting the OP*.

181L: Just called for the OP, and they appeared!

182L: Little darling, come to Auntie for a hug.

183L: Poor little OP.

184L: Could this phenomenon mean Guides can revert to being ordinary people?

185L: I feel like ever since the OP saw our dirty jokes, they haven’t said ‘my bird’ anymore.

186L: That’s right! The OP now refers to their own Spiritual Body as ‘my Spiritual Body’ and Mr. Spade’s as ‘his snake’.

187L: We’ve led the OP astray.

188L: 23333[mfn]233… (èr sān sān…): laughter; represents 哈哈哈 (hā hā hā); LOL. Derived from the 233rd emoticon on Mop.com, a former popular Chinese forum, which depicted a figure laughing hysterically. Commonly used in comments and chats to indicate something is funny. More “3”s indicate more intense or prolonged laughter. Can express laughter including amusement, sarcasm, embarrassment, or self-deprecating, depending on context.[/mfn]

189L: This case is fascinating! I’m going to share it with my senior brother.

190L: What good will showing it to your senior brother do?

191L: My senior brother is a Spiritual Body research expert!

192L: These days, even a mule claims to be a hybridization expert.

193L: Are you talking about yourself, upstairs?

194L: Stop arguing! The moderator might delete this thread. If you’ve forgotten the forum rules, let me remind you: Any thread containing arguments or insults will be immediately deleted upon reporting, and two points will be deducted from the offending accounts.

195L: If OP is currently transitioning from Guide to ordinary person, will he still be able to see Spiritual Bodies? Could Mr. Spade’s Spiritual Body have already manifested, but OP, having lost his Guide abilities, can’t see it?

196L: How is Mr. Spade doing?

197L: I suggest OP get a Spiritual Body assessment at the Sentinel-Guide Verification Center to determine if the Spiritual Body is gone or just temporarily missing.

198L: It’s just a story, yet everyone’s so invested. Aside from the Awakening Period, the first Spiritual Body assessment for Sentinel-Guides is free. After that, each assessment costs 50,000 Card Time Coins. At that price, I bet OP’s next update will definitely be to say, ‘My Spiritual Body has appeared! Thank you all for your concern’.

199L: Upstairs’ sarcasm is top-tier. Assessment complete.

200L: Agreed. Just because someone is poor doesn’t mean everyone else is.

201L: How can anyone recall a story in such detail? Recalling conversations, emotions—it’s all so vivid. I can’t even remember what I said to my dear darling yesterday.

202L: Upstair’s goal is just to show off affection, right? [vomit]

203L: A new character has appeared~~~~

204L: Speaking of which, isn’t anyone curious about what Mr. Spade’s weakness is that the Butler has a hold of?

205L: More than that, I’m more curious about who Mr. Spade fought with.

206L: There’s definitely something fishy going on here.

207L: It seems Mr. Black Cat[mfn]黑貓 (hēi māo): lit. black cat. 黑桃 (hēi táo) is spade ♠ (in card games).[/mfn] knew something was wrong with himself before undergoing mental soothing. I don’t think it’s just because he was too embarrassed about losing a fight and reluctant to seek mental soothing from a Guide.

208L: It’s Mr. Spade, not Mr. Black Cat! 2333

209L: Hahahahaha! Shaking the snake by its tail up and down! Hahahahaha!

210L: Three seconds of silence for the snake.

211L: [Light a candle[mfn]點蠟 (diǎn là): The general meaning of lighting a candle/wax is to observe silence. Wax lighting is the most important process in wax printing, it is also the most critical step to reflect the artistic creation ability of ethnic women in Guizhou. From preparing tools to melting wax, it usually takes less than a few minutes, so Guizhou ethnic women can light wax at will when they have a little leisure.[/mfn]] [Light a candle] [Light a candle]

212L: 207L makes a good point.

213L: The snake: “Fuck! I’m afraid of heights! Aaaaaahhhhh!”

214L: Laughing so hard I’m about to faint.

215L: Laughing so hard I’m having a seizure.

216L: The story is getting more and more ridiculous. I bet the new Sentinel who just appeared is also a top-tier Sentinel with extraordinary abilities.

217L: And then the two Sentinels will fight each other over the OP.

218L: This is straight out of a twenty-year-old romance novel.

219L: But it’s a classic.

[Administrator]: Following reports, all original posts from 220L to 263L containing arguments and insults have been deleted. The authors of these posts have been issued a two-point warning.

220L: Holy shit, what just happened?

221L: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes[mfn]不作不會死 (bù zuò bù huì sǐ): lit. no zuo no die; if you don’t do stupid things, you won’t die; fuck around and find out; play stupid games, win stupid prizes; never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. A Chinese internet meme. Calque of Chinese 不作死就不會死 (bù zuō sǐ jiù bù huì sǐ), you will not get into trouble if you do not seek trouble; (Chinglish) You won’t die if you do not seek death; you will not get into trouble if you do not seek trouble. The original wording of the Chinese phrase, meaning “one would not be in trouble had one not asked for it”, is half-translated to Chinglish where it retains one of its Chinese characters in pinyin.[/mfn]. What was there to argue about?

222L: In short, they were arguing over whether this thread was a romance story.

223L: This is the first time I’ve seen an administrator delete an argument because the reason for the fight was whether the thread was a romance novel…

224L: After all, this forum… has rather strict requirements.

225L: The administrator clearly doesn’t enjoy twenty-year-old romance tropes.
