Chapter 109: Treacherous Roads and Deep Pits!
Page 1/3
Zhan Su wanted to say, didn’t I give you a new one this afternoon? Just throw the old one away... But he held back.
[Private message] Silent Killing: Can it work? If not, swap it out. The guild battle is starting.
[Private message] Easy to Know, Hard to Do: Trying again. This time I’m wearing thermal pants...
Thermal pants? What on earth? Wearing thermal pants in September? What kind of alien is this random passerby?
Silent Killing ignored her and arranged the defense strategy for their elite team’s guild battle.
A few minutes later, Easy to Know, Hard to Do finally moved.
[Private message] Silent Killing: Fixed it?
[Private message] Easy to Know, Hard to Do: Nope. I think I’m doomed to a miserable life from now on... sob sob, great one, please comfort me.
[Private message] Silent Killing: Miserable?
[Private message] Easy to Know, Hard to Do: It’s hard to explain—slippery roads and deep pits everywhere!
The enemy guild launched the first wave of attack. Everyone took their positions; Zhan Su had no time to chat and focused on the guild battle.
...
At Shi Qingqing’s home.
Shi Qingqing was now dressed head to toe in fluffy clothes, a layer covering the prickly heat rash on her skin.
Everywhere she touched sparked static electricity, but it did nothing to her phone.
Her heart felt cold and empty!

The only truth now was that only the static electricity from Zhan Su’s phone could charge hers!
It was a nightmare!
An absolute trap!
Shi Qingqing felt like she wanted to die.
What to do? On one hand, there was her free-spirited integrity; on the other, a promising red envelope system...
Shi Qingqing was torn apart by the dilemma.
The guild battle was a mess, but luckily they were defending the city today, which was somewhat easier. Several top players were online simultaneously. After a few failed enemy attacks, they gave up.
The second half passed in a daze.
She easily earned a hundred bucks.
After 9 o’clock, Shi Qingqing tried again with her phone, which had 70% battery, to connect to the Nora Planet frequency but failed.
Not connected at all.
Maybe the battery was too low?
She pondered endlessly, torn between heaven and earth!
Should she keep the battery or keep her integrity?
Ahhh!
Such a difficult choice!
In the end, Shi Qingqing jumped up from her chair...
Her free-spirited integrity—gone without a second thought.

Only the red envelopes remained eternal!
She took out the phone Zhan Su had given her and used it to call her broken phone.
A string of phone numbers appeared.
Then she entered that string into the second receiving number on her device.
She took out the SIM card from her Apple phone and threw it away.
She put away the Apple phone to give to her mother someday when the opportunity arose. If she gave it now, her mother would ask where she got it, and she couldn’t say she was being kept by the school heartthrob...
Ugh! Being the school heartthrob’s maid wasn’t exactly a good reputation.
This school heartthrob was vindictive, bad-tempered, stingy, cold-hearted, and had tendencies of a pervert... but he was the only one who could charge her phone!
It was simply unbelievable.

Monday. The bulletin board at the school gate was swarmed with people.
“...Collecting calligraphy for the library’s nameplate? Open to all students and teachers at Qingming School… no restrictions on font or title, up to seven characters…”
“Public calligraphy contest... generous rewards. All top 100 finalists get prizes; the top 10 get their school badges upgraded to silver rank? Wow! Silver rank! I want to join...”
“The top three will be awarded personally by Young Master Zhan? No way! Really? Oh my gosh! I suddenly fell in love with calligraphy; I’m going to practice big characters right now...”
