Chapter 179
The people of Drunkflower Den had no idea what was going on, either, and only noticed that their guild leader was missing when they saw the messages on the world chat.
The people who knew Li Suo’s phone number immediately called him. Soon, the people on world chat got their answer.
……
Shi Sheng turned off world chat and opened her private messages screen. She had gotten a message from Ink Seeker.
Shi Sheng puffed her cheeks and typed in the chat.
Even if the game company knew Li Suo’s account was stolen, it would still take at least half a month for them to recover it for him. In this time, even if Li Suo made a new account or used someone else’s, it would definitely not be as convenient as using his own.
So… Shi Sheng meant it when she said she was going to seduce Sang Yu.
She had purchased a new deity character account on Taobao[1], changed the style to be more like Godly Tycoon’s, then infiltrated Drunkflower Den. The persona she used was that of a very aloof Dashen.
Every day without fail, she’d bring the other lower-levelled characters to run dungeons.
Shi Sheng looked at the username Sang Yu’s Not Late in the party window and gave a sinister smile.
That’s right, her new account was called Idle Chess and was ranked 20 on the leaderboards.
Illusory Dream immediately shut up. The others didn’t dare to say more, either.
Shi Sheng was very satisfied with this. ‘Seems like I successfully managed to forge myself into the very image of a Dashen.’
As they cleared the dungeon, Shi Sheng gave Sang Yu more attention and care than the others, though she didn’t make it too obvious.
When Shi Sheng went over to loot the downed boss, another girl in the party couldn’t help but feel curious and ask. Shi Sheng posted the items she had looted in the chat window.
……
The people who ran this dungeon almost all had the Sceptre of Light as their goal, since it was the best weapon drop the dungeon could give right now.
However, the number of people in the server who possessed this weapon could be counted using one’s fingers, for the drop rate was ridiculously low.
Shi Sheng had run this dungeon with her Music For Miles account with the Undermoons, but it had taken over 30 runs to get just one of them.
Since Shi Sheng was the one who carried them through the dungeon, they had no right to make her hand over the Sceptre of Light.
Sang Yu quietly accepted her share of the loot and didn’t kick up a fuss.
Yet after Shi Sheng disbanded the party, she invited Sang Yu back in.
Shi Sheng simply gifted her the Sceptre of Light.
Sang Yu stared at the screen in confusion.
In the following period, Shi Sheng found all sorts of excuses to take them dungeoning, doing her best to always include Sang Yu.
Whenever Shi Sheng got any good loot, she’d always send it to Sang Yu afterwards.
Shi Sheng didn’t reply to Sang Yu’s Not Late. After all, sometimes not replying was better than giving a reply.
Clearing dungeons with Sang Yu became part of Shi Sheng’s daily routine. Though Sang Yu had been quite distant at first, they soon grew close enough that Sang Yu felt comfortable complaining about what happened at school and chatting about the game to Shi Sheng.
The whole time, Shi Sheng would merely listen quietly while giving the occasional reply, just like how a respected Dashen would act.
On this day, Shi Sheng had only just logged on when Sang Yu’s Not Late sent her a message.
‘What an excellent wingman Li Suo’s being!’ Shi Sheng opened the Shop screen and bought a few packs of fireworks.
Shi Sheng brought Sang Yu to Dream Restoration Peak, whereupon she set up a bot to automatically light fireworks.
Meanwhile, she used her laptop to login to her Music For Miles account. Several message alerts flashed the moment she logged on.
Shi Sheng closed every chat window but Ink Seeker’s.
‘This girl’s weird hobbies… I can’t even… She used to go gunning for that other girl’s head as if they had some sort of vicious enmity, the type that meant that the both of them couldn’t coexist in the same world… But now she’s gone to seduce her…
She is really… quite flexible!’
