Chapter 19: Sister-in-Law
On Tiger Mountain, Adorable Sunny was leading a group of recruited players.
Following the instructions of Thousand Faces Gentleman, they started digging!
“I can’t believe my brother actually got taken into the village?” Adorable Sunny had just logged in when she received a voice message from her brother, Thousand Faces Gentleman.
She learned that he had already been brought into the village by a certain “Mysterious Partner.”
And he had also told her one thing, the condition for his cooperation with the Mysterious Partner.
Besides paying 50,000 gold coins, they also had to dig a pit the size of a soccer field at the top of Tiger Mountain!
The edges could be shallow, but the center had to be deep.
Although Adorable Sunny was confused, she had no choice but to comply.
As she was digging, suddenly, a voice rang out from behind her, “Sister-in-law Qingyue, why did you bring so many people to the top of Tiger Mountain? And you’re not even fighting monsters, what are you digging? Mining?”
The voice was laced with charm.
Adorable Sunny was momentarily stunned, then she immediately turned around.
She saw a mature and alluring woman standing with a large group of people behind her, all of them staring with predatory eyes.
Adorable Sunny seemed to recognize this seductive woman.
She furrowed her brows before saying, “None of your business.”
The woman covered her mouth and laughed softly. “How could it not be my business? Before long, you’ll be marrying into the Zhao family to become my brother’s wife. We’ll be sisters-in-law. As your future sister-in-law, isn’t it natural for me to show some concern?”
This seductive woman was none other than Zhao Hanyan, the younger sister of Adorable Sunny’s so-called fiancé, Zhao Mingyuan.
Her in-game name was “Smoky Clouds Fade.”
Hearing Zhao Hanyan say this, Adorable Sunny’s expression instantly turned cold.
Zhao Hanyan, however, acted as if she didn’t notice and continued, “Is there some kind of treasure here? Just tell me the truth, big sis. Maybe I can even help you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Adorable Sunny cut her off coldly, “If you get lost from here, that would be the best help you could give me.”
Zhao Hanyan giggled, “You’re still as hot-tempered as ever. But that’s fine. Once you marry into the Zhao family, we’ll teach you how to behave properly.”
Hearing her bring up marriage again and again, Adorable Sunny felt a surge of anger!
However, she had no way to refute it.
In a family like hers, arranged marriages were unavoidable.
They couldn’t be changed. They could only be accepted.
From the moment she was born, her fate had already been decided.
Zhao Hanyan then pointed smugly to the person beside her and said, “By the way, you and your brother should already know about the fast leveling method, right? Look, like the one standing next to me.”
Beside her stood a burly young man.
Unlike regular players, he carried himself differently, his expression was serious.
His sharp eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, Always maintaining peak vigilance.
“An NPC?” Adorable Sunny guessed.
Zhao Hanyan confirmed it, “It’s not really a secret anymore. This here is an NPC. My brother used this method to level up so quickly and rise to the top of the server! So, what do you think? Want me to tell you how to get in touch with NPCs?”
Adorable Sunny, however, scoffed disdainfully, “No need. I don’t need you to tell me.”
“Hm?” Hearing this, Zhao Hanyan was momentarily surprised. “You guys already know how to contact NPCs?”
This time, it was Adorable Sunny’s turn to look smug. “My brother is already inside the village, where there are tens of thousands of NPCs!”
“What?!” Zhao Hanyan’s expression changed drastically.
She couldn’t believe it.
Truth be told, she had come to find Adorable Sunny today because her brother, Zhao Mingyuan, had asked her to.
After all, Adorable Sunny was going to marry into the Zhao family in the future.
And her brother, Zhao Mingyuan, had always admired Adorable Sunny.
He knew that both she and her brother, Thousand Faces Gentleman, were obsessed with leveling up.
As such, he wanted to extend an olive branch.
But since they weren’t in the same novice village, he had no choice but to send his sister, Zhao Hanyan, who was in Newbie Village 0001, to do it on his behalf.
However, she never expected that things would turn out like this!
Seeing Zhao Hanyan’s change in expression, Adorable Sunny became even more delighted. Then, her eyes flickered with mischief as she clicked her tongue and said, “Do you know why we’re digging at the top of Tiger Mountain? Do you know what we’re digging for?”
Zhao Hanyan simply squinted her eyes, listening.
Adorable Sunny continued, “My brother met an NPC, and that NPC told him—”
Halfway through her sentence, Adorable Sunny suddenly stopped speaking.
She refused to continue. This made Zhao Hanyan frown deeply. Then, she waved her hand.
A player stepped forward, “Big Sis, what’s up?”
Zhao Hanyan instructed, “Find out everything about Thousand Faces Gentleman.”
“Yes!” The player immediately opened their friend list.
The Zhao family had already established a network in this novice village, specializing in gathering intelligence.
Soon, the player reported back to Zhao Hanyan, “Big Sis, our people guarding the village entrance spotted Thousand Faces Gentleman being led inside by an NPC. Someone even recorded it and posted it on the forum!”
As he spoke, he shared the forum video.
Zhao Hanyan took a glance, And sure enough, Thousand Faces Gentleman was following a hooded figure, casually strolling into the village.
“Damn it!” Zhao Hanyan gritted her teeth.
She had come here intending to flaunt her superiority and build rapport.
But instead, the other party had already made it into the village!
She knew that, even though they had discovered a method to level up quickly, the NPCs they had access to were only outside the village, waiting for players to find them.
As for those inside the village, they couldn’t even enter!
“That bastard Thousand Faces Gentleman has such good luck.” Zhao Hanyan was filled with envy and resentment.
Then, her eyes suddenly gleamed.
She looked at Adorable Sunny, who was still directing her recruited players to dig.
“Hmph, if I can’t make peace, then I’ll just take it by force!” Zhao Hanyan was not the type to accept defeat.
She hated losing the most.
At that moment, she waved her hand grandly and declared, “This place now belongs to the Zhao family!”
Her voice echoed.
Adorable Sunny immediately frowned, “Zhao Hanyan, what do you mean?!”
Even as she spoke, the players Zhao Hanyan had brought had already surrounded the area and began driving away the players recruited by Adorable Sunny!
Since they were just here to dig, the players Adorable Sunny had recruited were all low-level. Most of them were even Level 0.
They didn’t dare to resist. Although death in the game meant respawning, the pain was real due to the 100% realism setting!
They were only hired to dig a hole, not to get beaten up or killed.
“Oh, nothing much.” Zhao Hanyan shrugged playfully, “We heard there’s a treasure at the top of Tiger Mountain, so we came here to dig as well. That’s all.”
Adorable Sunny said coldly, “But we were here first!”
Zhao Hanyan’s smile didn’t fade, “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 is stronger owns it!”
Adorable Sunny remained expressionless. “According to the game rules, players can’t kill each other. If you attack us, you’ll be marked as a red-name criminal! Once you’re red-named, forget about taking quests or contacting NPCs!”
She said this, but deep down, she was struggling to hold back her laughter.
It was because Zhao Hanyan’s players had already started digging!
