On Tiger Mountain, Lovely Qingyue was leading a group of recruited players, following Thousand-Faced Gentleman's instructions, to start digging the pit!
"I didn't expect my brother to really be brought into the village?"
Lovely Qingyue had only logged in recently, after receiving a voice message from her brother, Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
She learned he had been brought inside the village by that "mysterious collaborator", and was told one condition of their cooperation: besides 50,000 Gold Coins, they had to dig a football field-sized pit on top of Tiger Mountain!
Edges could be shallower, middle needed to be deeper.
Though confused, Lovely Qingyue could only comply.
While digging, suddenly, a voice came from behind:
"Sister Qingyue, why bring so many people to the top of Tiger Mountain? And I don't see you guys fighting monsters. What's everyone digging? Mining?"
The voice was very flirtatious.
Lovely Qingyue paused briefly, then turned to look.
She saw a mature and charming woman leading a large group, each staring fiercely.
Lovely Qingyue seemed to recognize the alluring woman leading them, frowning first, then said, "None of your business."
The alluring woman covered her mouth and laughed softly, "How could it not be my business? Soon you'll marry into our Zhao Family, become my brother's wife, so we'll be sisters-in-law. As a younger sister-in-law, caring for your sister-in-law is the right thing."
This alluring woman was the real-life younger sister of Lovely Qingyue's nominal fiance Zhao Mingyuan—Zhao Hanyan.
Her game nickname was "Mist and Cold Clouds."
Hearing Zhao Hanyan's words, Lovely Qingyue's face immediately turned cold.
Zhao Hanyan, as if unaware, said, "Is there some treasure here? Tell your sister honestly, I can help you..."
Before she finished, Lovely Qingyue cut her off coldly, "You can get lost right now, that's already helping me."
Zhao Hanyan chuckled, "You really have that temper, but it's okay. When you marry into the Zhao Family, I'll slowly teach you how to behave."
Repeatedly mentioning marriage infuriated Lovely Qingyue, but she couldn't refute.
In families like theirs, arranged marriages could not be refused or changed, only compromised with.
From birth, it was already decided!
Zhao Hanyan then proudly pointed beside her, saying to Lovely Qingyue, "By the way, you and your brother should already know there's a fast leveling method, right? Look, it's people like this around me."
Beside her stood a Burly Youth.
This young man didn't look like a casual player.
His expression was serious, his gaze sharp and alert, always maintaining peak state and vigilance!
"An NPC?"
Lovely Qingyue guessed.
Zhao Hanyan openly said, "It's no secret anymore. This is an NPC in the game. My brother used this method to quickly climb to the top ranks on the server! How about it? Want me to tell you how to contact NPCs?"
Lovely Qingyue sneered, "Sorry, no need you to tell me."
"Hmm?"
Zhao Hanyan was surprised, "Do you already have a way to contact NPCs?"
This time, Lovely Qingyue showed a proud look, saying, "My brother is already inside the village. There are tens of thousands of NPCs there!"
"What?!"
Zhao Hanyan's face changed in disbelief.
Honestly, this visit to Lovely Qingyue was on Zhao Mingyuan's orders.
After all, Lovely Qingyue was to marry into the Zhao Family, and Zhao Mingyuan had long admired her.
Knowing that Thousand-Faced Gentleman and Lovely Qingyue were leveling fanatics, he wanted to make a friendly gesture.
But since they were in different Novice Villages, only Zhao Hanyan in No. 0001 Novice Village could help.
But they hadn't expected this scene!
Seeing Zhao Hanyan's changed expression, Lovely Qingyue was even happier, then clicked her tongue and said, "Do you know why we're digging on top of Tiger Mountain? Do you know what we're digging for?"
Zhao Hanyan squinted and listened.
Lovely Qingyue continued, "My brother knows an NPC, and that NPC told my brother…"
Halfway through, Lovely Qingyue suddenly shut up, not continuing.
This made Zhao Hanyan frown deeply.
Then, She waved her hand, and a player approached, "Big Sister Boss, what's up?"
Zhao Hanyan said, "Find out immediately about Thousand-Faced Gentleman."
"Yes!"
The player quickly opened their friend list.
The Zhao Family had arrangements in this Novice Village, with a dense network of connections to collect intelligence.
Soon, the player replied to Zhao Hanyan, "Big Sister Boss, players guarding the entrance of Novice Village spotted Thousand-Faced Gentleman being led inside by an NPC. Someone recorded it and posted it on the forums!"
They shared the forum video.
Zhao Hanyan watched it.
In the video, Thousand-Faced Gentleman was indeed following a cloaked figure, swaggering confidently into the village.
"Damn!"
Zhao Hanyan bit her silver teeth.
She originally wanted to come show off and make a friendly gesture.
But didn't expect he had already entered Novice Village!
Know this: though they found the fast leveling method earlier, that NPC
was only outside the village, waiting patiently, barely managing to catch one!
As for inside the village, they couldn't get in either!
"This Thousand-Faced Gentleman is really lucky."
Zhao Hanyan was full of envy and jealousy.
Then, her eyes brightened slightly.
She looked at Lovely Qingyue, who was commanding the recruited players digging the pit.
"Hmph, if you can't be friendly, then... grab it!"
Zhao Hanyan was not one to give up.
She hated losing most of all.
At this moment, she waved her hand loudly, "This place is now the territory of the Zhao Family!"
Her voice carried.
Lovely Qingyue immediately frowned, "Zhao Hanyan, what do you mean?!"
While speaking, Zhao Hanyan's players had already encircled the area
and began driving away Lovely Qingyue's recruited players!
Since it was just digging, Lovely Qingyue's recruited players were very low-level, most even Level 0 players.
They dared not act rashly.
Although death in the game meant respawning, because of full realism, the pain was real!
They were only recruited to dig, and did not want to get beaten or killed.
"Not much meaning."
Zhao Hanyan shrugged with a smile, "We heard there's treasure on top of Tiger Mountain, so we brought people to dig. That's all."
Lovely Qingyue coldly said, "But we came first!"
Zhao Hanyan's smile didn't change, "Hey, this is a game, it has its own rules. And this place doesn't have your Ning Family's name on it, so whoever's stronger owns the place!"
Lovely Qingyue expressionless, "The game rules forbid players from killing each other. The one who attacks first will get a Red Name! Once Red Named, you can't accept tasks or contact NPCs!"
She said this, but deep inside, she was delighted.
She couldn't stop smiling.
Because Zhao Hanyan's players had already started digging!
