Chapter Ninety-Four: Guild War

After the first two times, she had noticed a pattern: every time she connected to Nora Planet’s frequency, it was always after nine at night.

And the game on the computer had to be open as well...

So far, those were the only two rules she had found, and she planned to try again later.

If she could connect to Nora Planet’s frequency once more then, she would have to throw all her strength into seizing the chance.

As usual, she logged in first with the expert account; the expert account came with privileges.

The moment she entered the account of Yi Nan, private messages began flashing.

[Private Message] Dougless: Little lucky hand is here! Come help with the guild battle. We’re attacking the city right now, and without Yi Nan’s tank, I’m really struggling. I’ve died several times already.

Shi Qingqing replied without hesitation with two words: Not going.

Guild battle?

Was that her duty?

She was just a hired power-leveler, okay?

Soon, another message arrived.

Shi Qingqing thought it was from the thief; if he brought up that question again, she would block him outright and blacklist him.

But when she clicked on it, it turned out to be from the mighty Lord Slaughter.

[Private Message] Lord Slaughter: Come to the guild battle at once. Ten thousand gold coins an hour. I’ll mail your alternate account.

Ten thousand gold coins was one hundred yuan. Well, why didn’t you say so sooner?

Honestly, why waste everyone’s time?

Shi Qingqing clicked the mouse.

System: You have applied to join a team with Lord Slaughter.

System: Lord Slaughter has accepted your team request.

[Team] Dougless: Little lucky hand, didn’t you just say you weren’t coming?

[Team] Lord Slaughter: I asked her. Ten thousand gold an hour.

[Team] I Have Medicine!: ...

[Team] Mu Xue Si Chun: ...

[Team] Hua Guo Guo: ...

[Team] Dougless: I think I’ve vaguely found the standard for when little lucky hand appears. As expected, money can make even ghosts grind a millstone! Little lucky hand, this is a blatant wound to my feelings!

Shi Qingqing, sitting before the computer, did not blush at all.

Yes, you’re just a little too slow to catch on. Look at Lord Slaughter there—he figured out the pattern long ago. Lord Slaughter is the smart one.

While the chat continued, Lord Slaughter had already pulled Shi Qingqing into the guild battle.

Shi Qingqing looked up...

Damn, there were really a lot of people from Free Paradise.

A sea of faces, dense as a crowd.

But the defending guild across from them was no small force either. Star of the Tribe had plenty of members as well. Dragon mages, ice mages, berserkers, dwarves—all of them stood upon the city walls, glaring coldly, waiting to strike the moment the Free Paradise guild entered their attack range.

Shi Qingqing had taken the money, sold her time, and obeyed orders.

Under Lord Slaughter’s arrangement, as the tank of the vanguard guild, Shi Qingqing attacked wherever she was told.

She did a decent job. After all, the account wasn’t hers. In a massive brawl like this, everything was chaos; even if she wasn’t controlling it brilliantly, at least she wasn’t dragging the guild down.

The tense, thrilling hour passed in the blink of an eye. The guild battle ended, and Free Paradise emerged victorious.

When the guild results were tallied, the account Yi Nan actually had slain dozens of enemies, placing within the guild’s top ten.

It earned a large pile of rewards for the account, which could be considered extra compensation for fighting the guild battle for the employer and collecting achievements and items on the way.

Although she had died several times during the battle, the rewards from the guild war were generous enough to cover the repair costs for the expert account’s equipment.

As for Shi Qingqing, she had sold one hour of her time and earned ten thousand gold coins.

Yes, this was a splendid way to make money, satisfying all sides.

When Shi Qingqing checked the time, it was already past nine. She immediately picked up her phone and kept tapping the word for “grab.”
