nThe 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.

nThe people who knew Li Suo’s phone number immediately called him. Soon, the people on world chat got their answer.

nWorld Wind-walking The World : Boss’ account was stolen.

nWorld Enjoying Wind : his account was stolen? what kind of grudge makes someone delete it too???

nWorld Music For Miles : got his comeuppance, eh? serves him right!

nWorld Wind-walking The World : music, you’re seeking death!

nWorld iF@q : ink seeker dashen, your wife’s causing trouble again

nWorld seawaves : all account-stealers should just d!e in hel!

nWorld Ink Seeker : Can’t keep her in check.

nWorld Harry’s Noble Deer : ink seeker dashen means to say he’s henpecked? why do I feel like he’s adorable too?

nWorld Illusory Dream : harry’s deer, don’t u think ur disgusting?! u actually called those types of ppl cute!

nWorld Harry’s Noble Deer : hey now lil buddy, who i call cute is my business. what’re u complainin abt?

n……

nShi Sheng turned off world chat and opened her private messages screen. She had gotten a message from Ink Seeker.

nPM Ink Seeker : You were behind it?

nPM Music For Miles : guess

nPM Ink Seeker : You were following Li Suo for the past few days. You were trying to deduce his schedule.

nShi Sheng puffed her cheeks and typed in the chat.

nPM Music For Miles : why’re you asking if you already know?

nPM Ink Seeker : To verify.

nPM Ink Seeker : What are you planning?

nPM Music For Miles : to seduce sang yu’s not late

nPM Ink Seeker : ……

nEven 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.

nSo… Shi Sheng meant it when she said she was going to seduce Sang Yu.

nShe had purchased a new deity character account on Taobao1, 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.

nEvery day without fail, she’d bring the other lower-levelled characters to run dungeons.

nGuild Idle Chess : Level 110 dungeon. Join the party if you’re going.

nGuild rain fall on her : Me me me, Dashen, I wanna go!

nGuild darkone : Bring me!

nGuild Illusory Dream : I wanna go too!

nGuild Idle Chess : Party’s full.

nShi Sheng looked at the username Sang Yu’s Not Late in the party window and gave a sinister smile.

nThat’s right, her new account was called Idle Chess and was ranked 20 on the leaderboards.

nParty Illusory Dream : sang yu, why are you here?

nParty Sang Yu’s Not Late : Why can’t I be here?

nParty Illusory Dream : you started seducing others just bcos Dashen’s not around?!

nParty Sang Yu’s Not Late : Illusory Dream, be more mindful of your words.

nParty Idle Chess : Stop arguing, or leave.

nIllusory Dream immediately shut up. The others didn’t dare to say more, either.

nShi Sheng was very satisfied with this. ‘Seems like I successfully managed to forge myself into the very image of a Dashen.’

nAs they cleared the dungeon, Shi Sheng gave Sang Yu more attention and care than the others, though she didn’t make it too obvious.

nParty rain fall on her : Dashen, what dropped?

nWhen 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.

nSceptre of Light

nHeaven Climbing Boots

nGood Luck Pendant

n……

nParty Illusory Dream : Sceptre of Light! Dashen, your luck is awesome! *worships*

nThe 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.

nHowever, 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.

nShi 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.

nParty rainfall on her : The Sceptre is so beautiful! I want it but I’m a human, so I can’t use it…

nParty Idle Chess : You guys can split the rest. I’m keeping the Sceptre of Light.

nParty darkone : Okay. After all it was Dashen carrying us. But Dashen, can we go again?

nSince Shi Sheng was the one who carried them through the dungeon, they had no right to make her hand over the Sceptre of Light.

nSang Yu quietly accepted her share of the loot and didn’t kick up a fuss.

nYet after Shi Sheng disbanded the party, she invited Sang Yu back in.

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : ?

nShi Sheng simply gifted her the Sceptre of Light.

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : Dashen?

nYour friend has logged off. The message could not be sent.

nSang Yu stared at the screen in confusion.

nIn the following period, Shi Sheng found all sorts of excuses to take them dungeoning, doing her best to always include Sang Yu.

nWhenever Shi Sheng got any good loot, she’d always send it to Sang Yu afterwards.

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : Dashen, why did you give me so much?

nPM Idle Chess : I wanted to.

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : ?

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : Dashen… just what do you want?

nShi Sheng didn’t reply to Sang Yu’s Not Late. After all, sometimes not replying was better than giving a reply.

nClearing 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.

nThe whole time, Shi Sheng would merely listen quietly while giving the occasional reply, just like how a respected Dashen would act.

nOn this day, Shi Sheng had only just logged on when Sang Yu’s Not Late sent her a message.

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : Dashen, I’m very upset.

nPM Idle Chess : ?

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : I saw him accompany Mu Li In Love in a dungeon today. But yesterday, he told me he wouldn’t be free today.

nPM Idle Chess : Li Suo?

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : En.

n‘What an excellent wingman Li Suo’s being!’ Shi Sheng opened the Shop screen and bought a few packs of fireworks.

nPM Idle Chess : Let me show you something.

nPM Sang Yu’s Not Late : ?

nShi Sheng brought Sang Yu to Dream Restoration Peak, whereupon she set up a bot to automatically light fireworks.

nMeanwhile, she used her laptop to login to her Music For Miles account. Several message alerts flashed the moment she logged on.

nPM Snowfall Undermoon : lil musey, what’ve you been up to lately? hardly ever see you around

nPM Call Me Profiteer : Dashen, will you really not sell Three Lifetimes to me? Please please please sell it to me?

nPM GM66 : Dashen, have you gone missing? How should I report to the company ah???

nPM Ink Seeker : Want to go to Twinklegem Tower?

nShi Sheng closed every chat window but Ink Seeker’s.

nPM Music For Miles : what lvl you at?

nPM Ink Seeker : 105.

nPM Music For Miles : it’s been this long and you’ve only reached 105? dashen, are you incapable?

nPM Ink Seeker : Are you going or not?

nPM Music For Miles : yh yh, course i will. just wait till i’ve finished seducing this girl first

nPM Ink Seeker : ……

n‘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…

nShe is really… quite flexible!’
