Let's Squander A Billion First!

The original owner didn’t have this new player quest when they played this game!

What on earth is going on?!

Something’s fishy!

Run!

Chuzheng quietly shuffled towards the door.

Suddenly, the old man grabbed her gently, still looking kind, but with a grip strong enough to catch a thief: "Young lady, I’m too old to leave here. I wonder if you could help me find my grandson?"

Chuzheng blurted out: "Find your grandpa."

The old man calmly replied: "Finding my grandpa works too."

"????"

What do you mean works?!

This game’s not following any rules!

Complaint!

The experience is terrible!

While Chuzheng was ranting, a message suddenly popped up on the panel.

[Main Quest: Find Zhang Tianzhu’s grandpa.]

Chuzheng: "..."

No way!

This is totally extortion!

Are NPCs this shameless now?

They’ll stop at nothing to issue quests.

Have you considered the players’ feelings?

-

The quest was given, and she didn’t see the usual new player quest, meaning if she didn’t do this quest, she probably wouldn’t get out of Novice Village.

If she couldn’t leave Novice Village, she’d probably have to...

Rule over Novice Village.

"Your name is Zhang Tianzhu?" Chuzheng stared at the old man in front of her: "What’s your grandpa’s name?"

The game was a holographic one.

It’s said that these NPCs are intelligent, able to answer based on players’ words.

"My grandpa’s name is Zhang Dahai."

"Where does your grandpa live?" No clues, how am I supposed to find him?!

By relying on intuition?

This game is a bit too much!

"In the neighboring Ruhua Village."

Chuzheng: "???"

Chuzheng opened the map and took a look; she was currently in a place called ’Siyu Village.’

Official is impressive.

Names aside, Chuzheng couldn’t find anything named Ruhua Village on the neighboring map.

The map can be searched, so Chuzheng searched it...

A moment later.

She closed the map expressionlessly.

Ruhua Village is to the east, Siyu Village is to the west.

Is his neighbor across the whole map?

Whose definition of next-door is this!!

As a weak and helpless little pitiful player, how am I supposed to cross so many maps, reach the other side of the map, and help you find your grandpa?!

No!

As a zero-level account, I’m bound to the new player map!

Is this quest for real?

Are you sure you’re not just playing me?

The old man suddenly left, rummaged through a cabinet, and found a box.

"Take this, it will allow you to reach Ruhua Village." The old man solemnly handed the box to Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: "..."

Stay calm.

Cannot stay calm!

[System Message]: Player Unending Petals defeated player General Dusk, securing victory in this PK match.

[System Message]: Player ’One Step Loses a Billion’ has been put in confinement for 4 hours for beating an NPC, as a warning to others.

Two messages came through simultaneously.

[World] Galloping Pork Belly: Haha, beating up an NPC, another poor soul driven mad by NPCs.

[World] Do You Want to Get Rich Overnight: Don’t you all think the name sounds familiar?

[World] Pineapple Blowing Snow: Isn’t that the girl who splurged in the Novice Village just now?!

[World] Dream of Red Dust: That name is pretty badass.

[World] Daring Difficult People: Awesome!

[World] Sky Traveler: Others kill with one step, she loses a billion with one step, very ambitious.

[World] Ruoye: Could she be a second-generation rich kid?

[World] Thespian Painting West Tower: Miss, why were you so desperate to beat up an NPC?

[World] Galloping Pork Belly: Those NPCs totally deserved it anyway.

The name One Step Loses a Billion kept scrolling in the world chat, quickly becoming familiar to people.

Some players just coming online, puzzled, curiously clicked to see, and found it’s a zero-level account, making them even more confused.

Thus, world chat went on with another round of explanations.

This is probably one of those who got famous among players before even leaving the Novice Village.

[World] Ling Wang Tian Mo: Shouldn’t the focus be on Unending Petals winning against the great god?

[World] Daring Difficult People: Holy crap!

Everyone got attracted to One Step Loses a Billion, suddenly realizing.

The PK between Unending Petals and the great General Dusk, Unending Petals actually won.

General Dusk has long dominated the PK ranking.

Now, he actually lost?

Lost to a female player!!

[World] Light Moon Rinse: Unending Petals cheated, it was not genuine skill!

[World] Dai Mei Qian Dan: Yeah, the great god suddenly stopped at the end; without that, how could she have won?

[World] Evening Breeze is Too Swift: What happened to General Dusk at the end?

Players who watched the scene explained one after another.

At the end, General Dusk inexplicably stopped moving.

Then Unending Petals won.

[World] Unending Petals: In a match, factors beyond control are also a part of one’s luck.

Unending Petals sent this message and was immediately attacked by brainless fans of the great god.

Chuzheng sat in the confinement room, bored, watching the world chat.

Why did Unending Petals and General Dusk PK?

The reason was simple, just because of a wild monster.

Unending Petals felt that General Dusk looked down on her, so she challenged General Dusk to a PK.

General Dusk didn’t want to argue with a female player, but Unending Petals provoked him, leading to this PK match.

Unending Petals and the great god didn’t know each other until they fought.

Later, a beautiful love story developed between them.

As they developed, Unending Petals was still stringing along the original owner’s fiancé.

Thinking about it, the original owner’s fiancé was quite pitiful too.

Used as a backup and an ATM.

[World] General Dusk: Losing is losing, nothing much to say.

[World] Odd Cat Nature: Clearly, she was being opportunistic!!

[World] Daring Difficult People: Whoa, even the great god spoke in the world chat.

[World] Galloping Pork Belly: Aaaaahh!!

[World] Ruoye: Keep calm! It’s just a great god, nothing to be surprised about! Ahhh great god, let’s take a photo!!

[World] Sprouting Little Bean: Since the great god has spoken, you all should stop arguing.

Neither Unending Petals nor General Dusk said anything more.

General Dusk’s fans cursed for a while, without any real responses, the world chat’s regular players shifted the topic.

Chuzheng pondered while stroking her chin.

After the PK, it shouldn’t take long for her fiancé to confess, right?

What should she do that’s fun?

Forget it.

She’s still in confinement.

No time to bother with him.

He’ll get dumped eventually anyway.

Chuzheng idly explored the interface.

A bold red ’Confinement’ was displayed beside her character, as if afraid others wouldn’t know she was in confinement.

Chuzheng also found a button next to the confinement status.

[Bribe the Guard]

Chuzheng: "??"

It can be done this way?

Can she get out if she bribes?

Official’s money-grabbing method is quite something!

Chuzheng immediately clicked it.

[Please enter the amount for bribery]

Chuzheng glanced at her account’s gold coins, generously inputting them all in.
