Carrying It Through to the End

Looking at the friend request sent by Cecilia, Dawn’s Light was so excited that even his breathing became a bit more rapid.

He carefully pressed the confirm button, afraid that he might tap the wrong one and hit reject instead.

It wasn’t until her friend list now included the entry “Cecilia” that he subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Although this ID was now showing in blood red…

No matter whom he may have offended today, forging a connection with the humanoid boss strategy lady was worth everything.

Yet, standing to the side, Yuewu watched with wide eyes as the two added each other as friends, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, she had helped Cecilia too and had also offended the Proud World team—so why didn’t Cecilia take the initiative to add her as a game friend?

Just what is so good about this dopey-looking old guy?

Or is it that girls these days are just into this sort of thing?

The thought made her feel slightly jealous, and she couldn’t help but interject, “Little sister, now that you’ve offended Proud World, they’ll definitely retaliate at some point. Why don’t you consider joining our team? We’ve got a lot of big sisters who would all protect you.”

Chen Zixuan was taken aback for a moment, thought it over, but finally shook his head and refused, “Sorry, I don’t have any plans to team up with others for now.”

To be honest, there was strength in numbers. If possible, Chen Zixuan would have liked to join a squad or a guild.

If he could gain the resources and training of an entire team, there’s no doubt his leveling speed would greatly increase.

In his eyes, the Shuguang Team of Dawn’s Light and the Yuewu Team of Yuewu were both excellent choices.

However, there were simply too many secrets hidden in his account—it would be easy for others to notice if anything was off.

If not for this, Chen Zixuan wouldn’t have chosen to go solo.

Even after being refused, Yuewu did not get discouraged. Instead, she blinked her eyes, and with a bright smile, said, “Alright then. Little sister, do you intend to sell that rare-grade weapon you just dropped?”

Rare-grade weapon?

Chen Zixuan paused for a moment before realizing that what Yuewu meant was the blue dagger he had dropped after killing Hei Yun Tian Xia.

“You mean this one?”

A small, jade-white hand reached out from under the black cloak, quietly holding a silver-white dagger.

Just earlier, Chen Zixuan had already checked the weapon’s stats.

While it wasn’t bad by any means, it didn’t compare to his drawn Executioner, let alone the Blood Moon Slayer Dagger he was currently equipped with.

Selling it was definitely part of the plan; as long as the price was right, he didn’t care who he sold it to.

Yuewu’s small lips parted slightly, and delight flashed in her eyes. “Yes, that’s the one! It’s hard to sell weapons belonging to Proud World Team, so just let big sister buy it.”

Currently, blue weapons on the market were almost priceless due to their rarity. Their team had only two since launch.

“You’re not afraid of offending Proud World?”

Chen Zixuan glanced at her and asked coolly.

“Since we’ve already offended them, we might as well carry it through to the end,”

Yuewu’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she sneered dismissively.

“Alright, then name your price,”

Chen Zixuan nodded straightforwardly.

“The market price for blue weapons now is around 120,000, depending on the stats. Weapons from Clouds Over Heaven are never bad, so… 200,000—how about that?”

Yuewu calculated her pocket money and immediately felt heartache as she made her offer.

Looks like she could only buy fewer clothes next month…

Seeing the unwilling look on the girl’s face, Chen Zixuan found it amusing and simply said, “120,000 is fine. No need to make your team work for nothing.”

“Really? You’re so nice, little sis!”

The girl’s eyes instantly lit up.

I’m not a little sister…

Chen Zixuan smiled helplessly to himself, but outwardly he kept his composure and nodded, “Mm, just transfer the money after you log off.”

With that, he handed the dagger directly to Yuewu.

“Let’s add each other as friends too. Just DM me your account number,”

Yuewu said with a sly, fox-like smile.

She had not only made a new friend so easily but had also bought such affordable gear…

This Cecilia turned out to be surprisingly easy to get along with.

Of course, Chen Zixuan didn’t notice any of this girl’s tiny schemes. He sent a friend request as well, and the two easily became in-game friends.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going,”

Chen Zixuan said after sorting out these matters, ready to turn and leave.

“Are you going to clear your red name? I could recommend a few good places,” offered Dawn’s Light after a moment of hesitation.

After all, with his conspicuous red name, returning to the main city would be impossible—those guard NPCs posted there would attack him immediately.

Chen Zixuan stopped in his tracks. Damn, he’d almost forgotten about being a red name.

This was his first time playing this kind of game and also his first time killing people in a game; he had no idea what being red-named would actually do to his character.

“Mm, it’s better to get rid of the red name as soon as possible, or you’ll face a lot of trouble later,”

Yuewu added.

“Let me take a look first.”

Chen Zixuan opened his personal panel.

There wasn’t much difference compared to usual, except for a debuff labeled “Wanted Poster.”

【Wanted Poster】

Status: Primary

Favorability in all Human cities: -1000

Favorability in all Dark cities: +3000

When killed, equipment drop rate increases by 15%

Killing players grants experience, and this value increases with the wanted level.

Ways to remove: 1. Death; 2. Kill 100 monsters.

…

Dark cities? So this game didn’t just have Human cities?

Chen Zixuan had a feeling he might have stumbled upon some shocking information.

Also, looking at “killing players grants experience,” he suddenly felt a strange temptation.

Forget it. He’d have to level up anyway. Better to find a remote area to brush off 100 monsters and clear the red name first.

After asking Dawn’s Light about good leveling spots, Chen Zixuan wasted no more time and walked straight out of the forest without looking back.

For her current self, 100 monsters shouldn’t be a difficult challenge.

Once he finished, he planned to log off and have lunch…

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

At this moment, in the main city, central square.

A flash of white light appeared, and amid the bustling crowds of new players in the square, a lively figure suddenly emerged.

Even a basic new priest’s robe couldn’t hide the girl’s curvaceous figure, and her exquisitely pretty face made passing players pause to stare.

She gripped her staff tightly and looked around in some confusion.

So this was what it was like to enter the game world?

Is it Gu Yanxi?
