Chapter 115: Utterly Wicked Character

[Broadcast] Nan Yuan: "Get lost with your nonsense!"

In the heavy silence, Nan Yuan was the first to speak out loudly.

Yu Qian remained silent, but as soon as the verbal battle erupted, she became the center of it all.

Enemies insulted her, allies defended her, and the broadcasts escalated from small announcements to loud proclamations, one after another.

Up until now, Yu Qian still couldn't understand why Nan Yuan targeted her; she only felt that after being away for a few months, everything had changed. She didn’t even know how the Six Realms and Shengshi came to be enemies.

[Guild] Yun Qian: "Can someone tell me how we ended up clashing with Shengshi?"

[Guild] Luo An’an: "You don’t know?"

[Guild] Yun Qian: "If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking..."

[Guild] Luo An’an: "It’s pretty simple. One night, Yan Luo was fighting outdoors and didn’t notice Nan Yuan was on a trade run. He accidentally killed Nan Yuan, and Nan Yang wanted revenge for his wife. We had to protect our own, so it all escalated from there."

[Guild] Yun Qian: "...Alright then."

The root of their grudge with Shengshi was actually a small matter. If Yu Qian had been there at the time, it might have been resolved with an apology and compensation, and the hatred wouldn’t have developed.

But with others involved, apologies were out of the question—only confrontation.

Everyone had emerged from brutal, bloody battles in the past. Though under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, they had cultivated themselves for thousands of years, their inherent ferocity could not be changed.

Recently, everyone had been busy with the wedding of Er Lang Shen and the Howling Celestial Dog and hadn’t logged in much. Otherwise, if Shengshi’s people saw Yu Qian being bullied like this, they would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

After understanding the cause of the hostility, Yu Qian didn’t say much more.

Since the fight had already started, what was the point of talking? Let it happen.

It was just a game, not real life—why hesitate?

Playing games was about freedom and joy, playing however one pleased.

She formed a team and had those offering items join it, trading one by one.

There weren’t many merchants selling silver, so Yu Qian collected nearly all the same proportion in the trading platform. For convenience, all in-game items were traded using silver.

Most were selling treasure box keys to her; unbound items could be traded directly, bound ones required opening boxes.

She had opened nearly forty boxes but hadn’t gotten a single finished gem—only essences. She felt a bit hopeless. Had her notoriously bad luck not changed even after this reincarnation?

[Guild] Yun Qian: "I’m really unlucky; still no finished product... TAT"

Wen Xiu didn’t want to comfort her about her bad luck—in fact, she wanted to laugh.

Originally, she thought she was the only unlucky one, but Yu Qian was just as unfortunate. It seemed that only Zhou Jingchen was truly lucky.

Regarding Zhou Jingchen’s fair face and skilled hands, Wen Xiu suspected he had rigged his own luck. Even if not, it was likely his subordinates did.

After all, how could a boss playing a game not be favored?

By the time Yu Qian had collected so many keys she lost count, her backpack was full of essences—unfortunately, still not enough to synthesize a complete gem.

Rubbing her forehead, Yu Qian sent out another broadcast, this time collecting heirlooms and costume pieces.

Meanwhile, the three guilds’ declaration of war against Shengshi had ended, with Shengshi naturally defeated. According to world news, Shengshi lost many members, mostly ordinary players and treasure-hunting teams. At the same time, many new members joined—known troublemakers from the server.

These people loved PvP, but the largest fighting guild on the server, the Six Realms, didn’t accept outsiders, and other guilds generally avoided fighting. Shengshi had finally transformed from a peaceful guild into a battle guild, so these warmongers were delighted to join.

Besides them, some players who had long disliked the Six Realms also chose to join Shengshi, motivated simply by a desire to fight the Six Realms.

Zhou Jingchen and Yu Qian paid no mind to this. Fight if they want—who’s afraid?
