I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 393 Take Me Along (46)

"Chenguang, I will never forgive you!"

At Hehuan University, Miao Qingyu slammed her phone shut, exited the live stream, and then began to writhe in impotent rage on her bed.

After rolling around on the bed a dozen times, she finally climbed off the bed, opened the live stream, and said to the viewers, "Family, I just went out to pick up a package. Let's continue playing 'Journey to the Abyss'."

【Qingyu, do you yell to pick up your package?】

"Lion's Roar, any objections?"

Chewing gum, Miao Qingyu's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at the screen, preparing for a new battle.

As a semi-famous game streamer, Miao Qingyu pre-ordered "Journey to the Abyss" shortly after its release on campus and then started playing it.

She stayed online from the moment she logged in until she finally collected a decent set of purple gear, and then enthusiastically went to run the event dungeon.

I thought it would be a simple, easy game, since my gear is all purple, and the leader would have to give me face wherever I go.

Once inside, she felt like she'd been tricked by Chen Guang.

"What the heck? Oh my god, an elite monster has gone out to harvest crops!"

"You say this is a minor monster? Who are you trying to fool! Wait, it really is a minor monster..."

"I can't beat them, I really can't beat them! What's wrong with this event dungeon? I just can't win!"

"Finally killed it! Even the mobs were so troublesome. Dude, what's with the point of only getting points for eliminating all the monsters?!"

After wasting almost a whole day, Miao Qingyu realized that she could only take down the ordinary lunatics on the periphery at most. When she saw the elites inside the hospital, she had to sing "Conquer," and the leader was even more out of the question—she would be beheaded in one encounter.

After dying more than ten times, Miao Qingyu pushed her phone away and said fiercely, "I'm going to pick up a package."

Go ahead, shout it out loud!

[How pathetic, not a single point earned all day.]

Points are hard to earn. Look at the leaderboard; the highest score right now is only 137 points, which I got by randomly opening a white trash can outfit from a fashion chest.

[That's pathetic, what's so interesting about a trash can?]

[Images of the front, back, and bottom of a trash can]

[...Showing underwear...I admit I spoke a bit loudly just now. Anyone else doing this, bro?]

[If white outfits are this amazing, what will green outfits be like? And what about red outfits?!]

[Indeed, and the actual dream world looks different from the pictures; it feels even more erotic.]

Hey bro, anyone seen any pictures of swimsuit-themed jade items? A friend of mine wants to see them.

I'm your friend now.

……

After venting her frustrations in bed, Miao Qingyu looked at the viewers' comments and somewhat regretted her earlier boastful statement that she wouldn't stop the broadcast until she got the fashion items.

The price of "Journey to the Abyss" here is 500. After playing it around, Miao Qingyu knew that she had really made a profit by buying this dream for 500.

Putting everything else aside, the explicit images alone are enough to attract viewers' attention.

Every time they open a treasure chest and spin around, people aren't looking at the big red item inside, but rather at whether there are any new jade items or similar suggestive images.

She has a knack for finding good jade items, so despite her terrible dream-based skills, she still has a considerable following, all thanks to her unique ability to find jade items while wearing fashionable clothes. If she could find jade items while wearing fashionable clothes, it would be a powerful combination, garnering her even more attention and further improving her cultivation efficiency.

The problem is, she really can't beat him...

Top-tier players need constant teamwork to succeed; going in alone with a bunch of lone wolves is like being a monster's snack, eaten one bite at a time.

After being torn apart by the monster, Miao Qingyu was about to vent her anger when she suddenly saw a viewer in the live stream say:

"Sister Qingyu, I don't think this will work. If even a small monster on the outer perimeter is this difficult, won't the elite monsters inside be even more troublesome?"

"I know, but I don't dare to run normal dungeons right now. If I die in a normal dungeon, I'll lose all my gear, and this set of equipment is something I worked so hard to collect."

"Sister Qingyu, I see you're like Sun Huowang; stacking health and healing are very important. I have a red-grade item here, enhanced to +3, with sockets and gems. It's worth 45 million. Try equipping it and see."

Fearing that Miao Qingyu wouldn't believe him, the other party posted screenshots of his equipment, which drew a lot of exclamations.

Wow, that's amazing! It's an accessory.

This stuff is hard to find, but once you find it, you can use it for a lifetime. And if you're lucky, the gems you socketed with it are worth five million.

Adding another keyword could increase its value by another six million.

Fifty-one million, that's impressive just thinking about it.

Looking at her weapon, Miao Qingyu suddenly felt ashamed of herself.

Each character in "Journey to the Abyss" has twelve slots, including two accessories, two rings, a pair of shoes, a hat, a top, a pair of pants, a weapon, a backpack, a secondary weapon, and a prosthetic body.

Miao Qingyu was dressed in purple, worth a total of twelve million, which was not even a fraction of what others were worth.

With a sigh, Miao Qingyu smiled and said, "No need, I'm sure I can do it."

[It's impossible! I'm about to be a senior in high school, and then I won't be able to play anymore. I only have one wish right now: before I die... and school starts, can I see the golden bridal outfit?]

Miao Qingyu was deeply hurt by the other person's overly blunt remarks, but when she thought about how the other person was about to enter their senior year of high school, she immediately felt a strong sense of sympathy.

Senior year of high school is great...

The good thing is that I want to die but can't...

Every cultivator has experienced the grueling senior year of high school, where everyone sings like a cicada in summer, burning their life force to cultivate and improve their scores, fearing only of falling behind others.

In this situation, having an inner anchor is undoubtedly the greatest comfort. For students who have not yet awakened their spiritual heart, this is even more of a source of inspiration to motivate them to practice more spiritual exercises.

The high school senior's wish inspired Miao Qingyu, giving her renewed courage to continue.

"I know your ideals and I understand your beliefs! Let's meet up in the starting map, and I'll bring your earrings and show you the bridal outfit!"

Thank you, sister!

After selecting the initial map, Miao Qingyu cautiously logged in and saw Zheng Wuji, the player who had been waiting for her on the other side.

There is no player-to-player trading system in "Journey to the Abyss", so the other party can only place the item on the ground and then quickly retreat, while Miao Qingyu immediately steps forward, takes the accessory, and puts it in the safe.

After the transaction was completed, Miao Qingyu said in the live stream, "Thank you very much, Brother Zheng Wuji. I will return the items to you once I get the bride's outfit!"

Yes, I believe in my sister.

Just as I was about to exit the instance, someone in the live stream suddenly shouted: "[Hold on, streamer, how about you carry me?]"
