Chapter 231: Chapter 218 Little Li’s First Pot of Gold

Dust and chaos ensue as the boss furiously chases them down, and Little Fang and Little Li run panicked into the shimmering broken hole, where a glittering treasure chest appears before their eyes!

Little Fang’s eyes shrink in surprise: “Oh my god, a huge treasure chest! We’ve found the hidden treasure vault in the instance!”

And just then, a huge earth spike suddenly shoots up from the ground!

Ah! Little Fang screams in agony as she’s impaled!

Little Fang yells frantically in the dormitory: “Hurry up, rush to open the chest!”

Little Li exclaims in shock: “How do we open it?”

“Just touch it!!!”

…

Before Little Li could even make out the long list of system prompts, a huge rock whistles through the door! Bang! Little Li’s world goes dark as she experiences her first virgin death in the game!

“Did you get it?! Did you get it?!” Little Fang yells frantically in the dormitory, taking off her helmet and vigorously shaking Little Li’s shoulders!

Little Li replies with an “oh”: “Seems like 20,000 Gold Coins and some other things, but I think I died!”

Little Fang laughs loudly: “Jackpot! I didn’t lie to you, did I? Not even half an hour into the game and I’ve already made you money!”

Little Li excitedly asks: “How much can 20,000 Gold Coins sell for? 4000 RMB?”

Little Fang laughs and puts on her helmet: “That’s small change! Let me check out what the other stuff is!”

Random treasure vaults refer to hidden treasure chests within instances. The location of chests changes each time you enter the same instance, and the loot for higher-level players opening chests is different from that of lower-level players. This is a significant demonstration of the instance’s value, an integral feature that keeps players “enjoying endlessly” and “intoxicated” by the game.

However, finding a random treasure vault is as challenging as getting a hidden quest, requiring players to have keen observation, tenacity, and especially luck. It’s something that’s often sought but seldom found.

…

In the Grey Stone Town church square, white lights flash repeatedly as the whole group from Ninth Heaven’s 4th pioneering team resurrect and assemble in succession. The instigators, the beauties of Bloodrose, stand by with an indifferent look on their faces, secretly snickering and watching from the sidelines.

Currently, Divine Flame is reporting to the Guild Leader: “Boss, I beg you! Assign the beauties to other teams next time, I can’t handle this good fortune!”

Divine Emperor sighs: “Brother, it’s tough on you! But hang in there for now, your temper is the only one that can suppress the evil.”

“Suppress my ass!”

And at this moment, the church square lights up, as Fleeting Blossom and Harem Beauty appear one after the other. The women of Bloodrose take a sidelong glance teasingly, only to be shocked and stunned!

They see the character named Harem Beauty with continuous bursts of golden glow above her head, which means she’s leveling up continuously!

That’s right, just now Little Li opened the treasure chest and gained 200,000 experience before dying. After resurrection, she naturally continues to level up! In an instant, 200,000 experience points take Little Li to level 10!

Instantly, the whole team is in an uproar!

Divine Flame’s eyebrows twitch, and he steps forward to ask: “What’s going on?”

Little Li looks up at the towering team leader and, feeling guilty, bows her head unsure of what to say.

Little Fang laughs: “Sorry, but we just found a treasure vault after a minecart crash. The boss killed her because she was the lowest level, allowing her to pick up the chest.”

“A treasure chest!” The whole team erupts in excitement! The beauties of Bloodrose are even more incredulous!

Divine Flame looks astonished and asks urgently: “What did you get? What did you get?”

Little Fang laughs in the dormitory: “Wife, show them the picture! We’re in a large guild with big corporations; there’s no need to keep it secret!”

Little Li says “oh”: “How do I post a picture?”

“Do this, then that…”

When Little Li publicly displays her loot, the whole team explodes in excitement! Everything else is trivial, but it’s that Skill Book that’s key! Especially later on, when leveling is as hard as ascending to the heavens, the only way to fill up skills is through special tasks rewarding Skill Points and Skill Books! However, tasks rewarding Skill Points can hardly compare with Skill Books, as the latter’s late-stage growth for Vice Heroes is the real challenge!

Divine Flame immediately reacts, jaw dropping, and incoherently blurts out: “Sell it to me! Sell me the Skill Book aahhh!!!”

Little Fang laughs: “Sure! If it weren’t for the Guild Leader’s blessing, we wouldn’t have been able to get there. Just name your price!”

Divine Flame, with a fierce expression, stretches out a trembling hand and opens five fingers! The crowd goes silent at once!

Little Li exclaims in surprise: “Five hundred?”

Divine Flame let out a long breath, his voice quiet and shy: “Five, five thousand…”

Little Li’s eyes widen in shock: “Five, five thousand!!!”

Little Fang sighed softly, somewhat disappointedly pouting, “Five thousand…”

Divine Flame’s eyelid twitched, retracting three fingers and gritting his teeth, “Then eight thousand, eight thousand!!!”

Little Li, startled, her eyebrows jumped, “Eight thousand!!”

A hushed silence fell over the crowd!

Little Fang chuckled, “Then eight thousand it is. The team leader has had it the hardest; right, wifey?”

Little Li hurriedly nodded, “Yeah, yeah!”

Divine Flame pumped his fist excitedly, “Thank you! Thank you, beauties! What’s your account number? Which bank? I’ll transfer the money right away!”

Little Fang laughed heartily, “Does wifey have a Taojin account?”

Little Li, taken aback, “No.”

Little Fang grinned, “Then take this chance to set up a new one. Please wait a moment, team leader.”

Divine Flame quickly responded, “No problem, no problem!” Immediately turning to the bystanders in the square, he announced, “Dismissed! Dismissed!”

“Team leader, aren’t we having the routine failure debriefing?”

Divine Flame waved impatiently, “Failure is the mother of success; I’ve said my piece, go on, go do whatever you have to do!”

The crowd dispersed amid a chorus of jeers.

At Bloodrose Studio, the faces of the girls from Bloodrose were not looking good.

What was this all about? A wiped team, and they ended up gifting benefits to someone else.

Big Sister Zhou Qing laughed coldly, “Alright, beauties, go do what you have to do!”

Bloodrose Qiqi complained angrily, “The more I think about it, the more I can’t stand it! I’m not convinced!”

Zhou Qing shook her head with a chuckling smile, “Then let’s shift our mood, tomorrow Star’s Little Pig Run will come to our city to develop. Do you know who Little Pig Run is?”

The girls were surprised, “The Griffin Breeder who’s ranked 4th in the world?”

Bloodrose Qiqi’s eyebrows twitched, “Does Big Sister mean that we should deliberately get close to Star, just to annoy Ninth Heaven?”

Zhou Qing chuckled, “Let others think what they want; in any case, everyone, just do what you need to do.”

The girls laughed heartily, “Got it, this is called fighting fire with fire!”

…

When Little Li saw the added 8000 RMB in her new Taojin account, she rubbed her eyes hard, unable to believe them, “I just played for half an hour and earned eight thousand!”

Little Fang laughed loudly, “Psh! Don’t get ahead of yourself; you still owe me money for the computer!”

Little Li laughed, “I’m already being kept by you, wife, what’s there to return!”

Little Fang suddenly surprised, “Turns out you’re so greedy for money? Why do you never give face to any of those rich lads who chase after you?”

Little Li’s expression darkened, “Earning my own money is different from others giving me money!”

Little Fang laughed, “I see! Do you want to earn even more money?”

Little Li, piqued with interest, nodded excitedly, “Is that even a question? Believe it or not, I’ll earn more than you and keep you!”

Little Fang roared with laughter, “Please, wealthy lady, keep me!”

At this moment, Divine Flame, who had finally obtained the Skill Book he wished for, chuckled, “Thank you, both of you. If there’s anything you need in the future, just tell me. Can I add you as friends?”

Little Fang laughed, “What an honor to add the great team leader of Ninth Heaven as a friend!”

Divine Flame blushed with a shy smile, “Next time when the instance’s CD is refreshed, give a shout if you two are free; I may not be good at anything else, but leading a team is no problem for me.”

Little Fang laughed, “No problem. It would be best if there are more surprises like today’s!”

Divine Flame shook his head with a wistful smile, “That was unavoidable. Alright, I need to go level up; I must excuse myself!”

“Take care, team leader!”

After Divine Flame left, Little Li chuckled, “Truly worthy of being a queen, always hooking men the moment there’s a chance. This man who has caught our Queen’s fancy must be a top gamer, right?”

Little Fang smiled faintly, “It’s called networking, you know? The guy doesn’t have to be the strongest, but speaking of the strongest men–” She paused, her expression turning stern and cold with a sneer, “I do know there’s a top dog who is the nemesis of that bunch of scum! It’s just that there hasn’t been a chance to meet him, but if we do, we must forge a good relationship to thoroughly gross out those pieces of trash. They wanted to sicken us today but failed; we’ll definitely have our chance to return the favor!”

Little Li gave a wry smile, “True to your Queen’s nature, you never take a loss. But who is this strongest man?”

Little Fang shook her head, “Da Fei! The best in the national service, universally acknowledged as the worst in terms of character; known as the world’s number one scumbag!”

Little Li exclaimed in shock, “You dare to make connections with such a person?”

Little Fang laughed, “What’s there to fear in a game? It’s all fine as long as we don’t meet in person.” She then spoke seriously, “The early stages of the game are extremely valuable; it’s the easiest time to make money. I plan to undertake a major venture soon. Are you willing to stay up late with me?”

Little Li, curious, “What kind of venture requires staying up all night?”

Little Fang solemnly said, “I’m taking on an epic project to dig a canal to the sea. Once this project is successful, today’s earnings of eight thousand will be just a drizzle. Will you do it?”

Little Li coldly smiled, “Just staying up late, if you can endure it, so can I!”

Little Fang laughed loudly, “You’re truly my wife, come here wifey, muah~~~” (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.wuxiaworld.site to read.)
