Chapter 339: Chapter 328 – Can It Be the Same? (2nd Update! Seeking Monthly Pass! Seeking Recommendations!) Chapter 339: Chapter 328 – Can It Be the Same? (2nd Update! Seeking Monthly Pass! Seeking Recommendations!) Self-Mockery really had mixed feelings about her little sister; she loved how smart and clever she was, the kind of child that other families boasted about, the hope of her own family. But what she hated was how stubborn her sister’s personality was, always clashing with their mother.

The worst part was that the family had already started to think that she, Self-Mockery, had led Wan Xiang astray.

Their family was of the traditional kind; Wan Xiang had been enrolled in various tutoring classes since she was young, and their mother had hopes of her second daughter turning their fortunes around by getting into the best university in the country, then finding a good job… those very generic goals.

But who would have known that this child, upon reaching her rebellious phase… Well, her way of rebelling was very much that of a top student, insisting on attending Public University instead of the Qing University her mother had initially decided on.

Although both universities were top-tier domestically, the life trajectories of their graduates were vastly different.

With just half a month left until the college entrance examination, here was Self-Mockery, the older sister, playing games in an internet cafe with her sister?

Just thinking about it filled Self-Mockery with immense guilt! Not to mention that it looked like Wan Xiang was planning to play “Saint Spirit” all night long.

At this moment, Self-Mockery could already imagine their mother’s lines, something like “What kind of game is this! It’s really bringing harm to people!”

Now, Self-Mockery had to figure out a way to persuade Wan Xiang to log off and go home for dinner, originally thinking the excuse of being out of money to continue surfing the internet would force her to go back.

But who could have known that out of nowhere, a suspicious man appeared who was actually willing to give money to a stranger?

“Wan Xiang really can’t play any longer! I need to log off too. Big Bro, I’ll change the money you sent into Game Coins and send them to your mailbox, then we’ll back out,”

Self-Mockery was no longer interested in the difficult level of Black Dragon Nest; her mind was occupied with thoughts of taking Wan Xiang home.

But the problem was that after she left the team, Wan Xiang was still in it, not budging.

“Let’s play one more round, it’ll be quick, the person I found has already arrived,” Jiang Qiao had no choice but to try to persuade this ‘parent’ worried about her child’s gaming addiction.

“Really, there’s no need!”

Although Self-Mockery said so, she was thinking that clearing the difficult level of Black Dragon Nest in twenty minutes was a joke! Self-Mockery had also tried forming a group to take on the difficult level of Black Dragon Nest before, requiring a minimum of twenty and a maximum of twenty-five players.

They only wiped once during the run and it still took nearly forty minutes to clear it.

Clearing it in twenty minutes seemed very difficult in Self-Mockery’s mind, until she saw a character, with the titles of Dancing Nuclear and ‘Dragon Slaughterer’ atop his head, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Qiao.

“Eep, Big Bro, I’m here! Is this the group?”

Velvet Rabbit had also been sent by Mo Shigui to assess the situation and upon arriving, received a team invitation from Jiang Qiao. Once in the team, Velvet Rabbit saw that everyone was a lower-level newcomer.

Velvet Rabbit was used to leading newcomers after Dancing Nuclear Guild had opened two sub-guilds.

“Yes, the difficult level Black Dragon Nest, we’ll start the instance once everyone’s ready.”

Jiang Qiao counted the members Velvet Rabbit brought along, six in total from Dancing Nuclear Guild, and they were all the kind that served as the main force in the first-tier raid teams.

The Dancing Nuclear Guild, as the number one guild in “Saint Spirit,” naturally had massive popularity to the point of being well-known, not to mention that many in “Saint Spirit” were also esports fans…

So when Velvet Rabbit and the group with Dancing Nuclear prefixes to their IDs joined Jiang Qiao’s team, it caused a panic among the ordinary players like mortals witnessing Daluo Golden Immortals, leaving them in awe.

“Ah! It’s a bunch of pros! I’m dead!”

“Pros, please let me be your friend! Please, I’m a fan of yours.”

The team channel was spammed with a series of messages, and to make matters worse, there were already many players around Black Dragon Nest. The moment members of Dancing Nuclear Guild crowded in, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, Mo Shigui was smart enough not to call over those professional-level players.

Otherwise, the entrance to Black Dragon Nest might have been blocked solid. Now, players were just gawking at the pros, and one team member, Black Pot Stew, felt lucky not to have used his competitive ID.

Jiang Qiao signalled the team leader Li Xianghua, who was keen on getting autographs, to start the difficult level Black Dragon Nest instance.

“Let’s dive into the instance! Today, I’ll show everyone how to clear Black Dragon Nest in twenty minutes.” Jiang Qiao signaled the Fluffy Rabbit to lead the group toward Black Dragon Nest while speaking.

“Sis, what’s wrong?”

Following the team towards Black Dragon Nest, Wan Xiang found herself halting halfway when her sister, Demon Exorcist, tugged at her sleeve.

“Invite me to your team,” Demon Exorcist whispered, barely audible to Wan Xiang.

Before Jiang Qiao called anyone over, Demon Exorcist had set an example by leaving the group first, intending to bring her sister back no matter whom Jiang Qiao summoned, even if it was the game administrator.

But Jiang Qiao didn’t call for the game administrator; instead, he brought in members from Dancing Nuclear Guild, including one whose ID was Wandering Gunman!

What was Jiang Qiao’s identity? At this point, Demon Exorcist didn’t want to think about it anymore.

However, as a junior at university and a genuine eSports fan, her favorite team was Kola Frenzy, based in North City, but she also liked a player from Dancing Nuclear. Of course, it wasn’t the Wandering Gunman, yet she recognized that Wandering Gunman was an active player of the Dancing Nuclear Guild!

As a fan of a team, what’s it like to be led by a player from your favorite team in an instance run for ranking up?

It’s an experience Demon Exorcist would love to have, even if it meant spending her last dime!

But now, she didn’t need to spend anything; she just needed her younger sister to re-invite her to the party.

“Sis… you can go back first,” Wan Xiang replied softly.

How malicious, little sister! Have you forgotten that it’s me who loaned you the money for your internet access?

“Forget about that, just invite me quickly! That’s the Dancing Nuclear you’re with, do you understand that?” Demon Exorcist said, anxious.

“Dancing Nuclear? The topic you’re researching at university, sis?”

Wan Xiang didn’t pay attention to the Chinese eSports scene at all. She only got the chance to test the Holy Spirit game a few months ago when her sister cajoled her by saying, ‘You can shoot guns in this game!’

She had also said something about playing the game if Wan Xiang managed to get an account.

But as it happened, Demon Exorcist had a streak of incredible luck, and so did her sister. They won the testing qualifications within three days of each other, prompting Wan Xiang to be coaxed into the game by her sister.

“Just invite me to the party, that’s all!” Demon Exorcist, seeing that the group had already entered the instance, was too lazy to explain any further, “If mom asks where you’ve been today, can I just say I took you out for a meal at a buffet?”

“Sure.”

Only then did Wan Xiang send an invitation to join the party to Demon Exorcist. Successfully joining the team that couldn’t really be called a pick-up group anymore, Demon Exorcist entered the Black Dragon Nest instance with a nervous heart.

As soon as Demon Exorcist entered the instance, the fashionably dressed Wandering Gunman in red had already taken off his cowboy hat and, in an equally flashy tone, asked Wan Xiang, who was half a head shorter than him,

“Miss, would you be interested in visiting our guild’s base after the instance?” Wandering Gunman believed his charm worked on players, especially female players.

However, Wan Xiang clutched her Mosin-Nagant rifle and hid behind the tall figure of her sister, the Demon Exorcist…popping out only her little head with skeptical eyes to look at Wandering Gunman.

“My sister says I shouldn’t go off with strangers.”

How could anyone from Dancing Nuclear qualify as a stranger! Visiting the Dancing Nuclear base? That’s almost like being invited to look inside a club!

“Of… of course we can!” Demon Exorcist answered for Wan Xiang on behalf of Wandering Gunman, but… right after she did, it seemed Wan Xiang realized something.

“Sis, if we are going to visit, the time we have just to eat at the buffet isn’t going to be enough,” Wan Xiang noted.

“Then we’ll eat twice! Just make sure you eat a lot,” Demon Exorcist replied, beginning to think about how she would explain to their parents why they’d be returning so late.
