Shi Sheng waited for Idle Chess to finish setting off fireworks.

  : [Feeling better?]

  : [Yeah. Thanks Dashen. Sorry I made you spend so much.]

  : [It’s never too much if it’s for you. I have something on now, so I’ll head off. Don’t worry too much.]

  Before Sang Yu’s Not Late got a chance to reply, Shi Sheng logged off and logged onto her Music For Miles account.

  : [let’s go go go! but is it just the two of us dashen? who’s killing the mobs then?]

  : [……What are you going for?]

  : [obviously to sightsee the inside of twinklegem tower!]

  Shi Sheng’s lip twitched as she sent a request to join the party again.

  : [dashen, where’d you learn kicking ppl from the party the moment there’s a disagreement? it’s a bad habit]

  : [Too talkative.]

  : [speaking more is good for your mental and physical health. oh right, where’s 66? wasn’t he supposed to be keeping an eye on us or something?]

  : [The Camp War is happening today.]

  The very first Camp War would definitely have bugs, so it was common sense that GM66 wouldn’t have had the time to watch over them.

  : [then let’s go beat twinklegem tower with hacks]

  : [……]

  And so, the two happily went off to hack Twinklegem Tower. Once they had entered, the sight of the densely-packed mobs startled Shi Sheng.

  : [why are there so many mobs? ppl with claustrophobia are gonna complain]

  : [The difficulty increases exponentially after floor 105.]

  He was able to start from floor 70 because he had the first clear for that floor, but over this past week, he had only managed to make it to floor 105. It was impossible for him to go any higher.

  : [they’re planning on making players ragequit or somethin?]

  : [Seems like they aren’t planning on updating Twinklegem Tower anytime soon.]

  : [devs are too lazy. 0/10]

  : [yo dashen, wanna have a contest?]

  : [What contest?]

  : [there are still 50 lvls left, let’s see who beats the last boss first]

  : [Is there money for the winner?]

  : [hey now, we’ve already been a couple for ages, talking about money hurts our relationship!]

  She’d bought all of her gold legitimately. After all, changing the game data for gold was too easy to detect.

  : [Not competing.]

  : [fine fine fine, you win i give you 2k, i win, you gimme 5k]

  : [Why?]

  : [i’m a girl]

  : [So what?]

  : [i’m your wife]

  : [……]

  : [Let’s start then.]

  Shi Sheng found that he was much more compliant when she called herself his wife.

  After cricking her neck and stretching her wrists, Shi Sheng took a deep breath and focussed her attention back on the monitor. Her pale and long fingers danced across the keyboard, so quick that they became a blur to the eyes of an observer.

  106……

  107……

  110……

  115……

  119……

  It was much easier after they had used hacks.

  Ink Seeker hadn’t used them before because he felt doing that would take the fun out of it. But now Shi Sheng wanted to compete with him, so he didn’t mind using them.

  On the final level, Shi Sheng arrived later than Ink Seeker by a heartbeat. The final boss would definitely not be easy to take on.

  As such, Shi Sheng deliberately allowed Ink Seeker to attack the boss first. After waiting for the right moment, she jumped out to pull the boss’ aggro and kill-steal.

  Ink Seeker had probably expected this since he didn’t do anything to prevent it and just watched as she killed the boss.

  : [hubby, 5k. pls send it ovr]

  : [I don’t have the money. Can I pay you with my body instead?]

  : [……dashen, did someone steal your account or something?]

  : [No.]

  Shi Sheng and Ink Seeker were teleported out of Twinklegem Tower just in time to catch the system announcement that floated past their heads.

  Before people could start cussing on world chat over this announcement, a new announcement showed up with an array of special effects, stealing their attention.

  Shi Sheng’s only reaction upon seeing this announcement was:

  : [do my eyes fail me? or is that Ink Seeker Dashen i see hanging on that system announcement?!]

  : [twinklegem tower…… 120th floor…… Ink Seeker Dashen is going to ascend the heavens ah!]

  : [don’t you guys find it funny? whenever somethin happens with Drunkflower Den, Music For Miles always somehow manages to give them a slap to the face with timely system announcements! and now Countless Generations got their faces slapped by Ink Seeker right after they won the Camp War…… are you sure these two aren’t really the game company’s undercover ops?]

  : [da beat’s got a point. that was some wicked timing]

  : [there’s sumthin up with the game company. even if they’re an intentional attraction, it shouldn’t be done this way!]

  : [Sang Yu, what’re you playing dead for?! You blamed losing the City War on Music For Miles, and now you’re blaming us for losing the Camp War?! You really think just because you’re the Alliance Head you’re all that?! If it wasn’t for Guildmaster, how would you have even gotten this position?!]

  The sudden message caused all discussion regarding Shi Sheng and Ink Seeker to halt.

  : [Get off world chat.]

  : [Wind, if you like her, just be honest about it. Would she be grateful to you for being subtle?]

  : [Before the Camp War, she was hanging out with Idle Chess and enjoying fireworks! Guildmaster wasn’t here, yet as the Alliance Head, instead of planning out our strategy, she went out with someone on a rendezvous! Now we lost and she blames us! Just where did she get this confidence from?!]

  : [I’d like to just say right now: When guildmaster was here, he’d pamper her all the time. She always thought she was all that when it was really because guildmaster was there to clean after her mess! She doesn’t have ability, yet she won’t listen to our opinions and acts on her own judgement! Who the h.ell does she think she is?!]

  From how infuriated he was this time, it was enough to tell just how outrageous Sang Yu’s Not Late’s behaviour had been.
