I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

The gloomy male leader spoke up, "Isn't this Nana? What a coincidence."

Nagasaki Asuna frowned in disgust, turned her face away, and remained silent.

"Who are you?" Cheng Fei shielded the girl behind him.

"This is an internal matter for our union; outsiders shouldn't interfere." The gloomy man glanced at Cheng Fei.

“A and I left your guild a long time ago,” Nagasaki Asuna said unhappily.

"Not only did you lose two sets of valuable equipment, but you also quit without a word. That's too much. Besides, wouldn't it be better if you stayed in our guild? You and A should think about it again."

Ignoring the other person, Nagasaki Asuna tiptoed closer to Cheng Fei's ear and whispered, "Cheng Fei, let's just log off."

Log off immediately as a last resort to deal with trouble, but your backpack items will still drop, so it's equivalent to admitting defeat and running away.

"Is Xiao A Shen Xi? Tell me what happened." Cheng Fei asked in the same low voice.

Shen Xi's garbled ID started with AA, and Cheng Fei initially called her Little A.

“We joined these people’s unions before, but we weren’t satisfied and left. We didn’t expect them to keep bothering us…” Nagasaki Asuna whispered in Cheng Fei’s ear.

After a few words, Cheng Fei roughly understood.

Normally, guilds wouldn't entrust valuable equipment to people they don't trust, but Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna are exceptions. After all, they are rare female players who always receive preferential treatment, and this intentional or unintentional indulgence has led to the current dispute.

"Nana, don't find me annoying. I understand that you haven't paid back those two sets of equipment yet, after all, they are really valuable. How about this, let's go back to the guild first and we can talk again," the gloomy man said, feigning friendliness.

"So it's just for two sets of equipment?" Cheng Fei asked.

“My friend, these aren’t just two ordinary sets of equipment; they’re two sets of Tier 4 equipment.” The gloomy man raised his chin, maintaining his smile.

"Two sets of fourth-tier ones..." Cheng Fei considered.

Nagasaki Asuna leaned close to Cheng Fei's ear again, "He just wants to bother Shen Xi and me, Cheng Fei, just ignore him."

"Leave it to me." Cheng Fei shook his head.

At that moment, text suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Fei's eyes.

[Time-limited task triggered]

The entanglement with the labor union

[Request: Help the two girls out of their troubles]

Difficulty: Hard

Destroy the rival guild → 5000 points, one 50% off power voucher, item: Three-pointed dagger (worth 2000 points)

[Actively repay debts → 1 point]

In the gaming world, strength reigns supreme. Using pure violence to solve problems for your online lover is considered perfectly acceptable, but it might also provoke the girl next door, stirring up her jealousy and possessiveness. Alternatively, adhering to the rules might reveal a cowardly demeanor. You know which choice to make.

Cheng Fei thought quickly.

One task wasn't finished, and another one came along.

Moreover, it all seems to be an attempt to entice Cheng Fei to take action.

But Cheng Fei had his own ideas.

"Alright, I'll return both sets of equipment for them," Cheng Fei said.

The gloomy man's lips twitched slightly. "No, what's your relationship with them? Why should you help them pay?"

He wanted Cheng Fei to resist, so he could teach this meddlesome guy a lesson and then have an excuse to continue harassing the two girls.

"I am Xiao A's boyfriend."

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

The gloomy man's eyes widened, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what fourth-tier equipment means?"

"It's very clear."

The gloomy man slowly said, "Even the worst Tier 4 equipment requires Tier 4 materials, and Tier 4 is currently a realm that only a very few top players can reach. All related items are priceless and unavailable. If you were to have someone craft a complete set of Tier 4 equipment, spending a few thousand coins would be considered cheap..."

“I know, I know, no need to explain, it’s valuable, that’s all.” Cheng Fei interrupted the other person.

Cheng Fei's idea was very simple.

He wanted Shen Xi to owe him money.

A set of Tier 4 equipment is currently worth several thousand yuan. Knowing Shen Xi's temperament, if he returns the items for her, that proud and arrogant woman will definitely keep this favor in mind.

If Shen Xi can't pay back, Cheng Fei will trick her into using her monthly dating fees to offset the amount, guaranteeing her at least a quarter's worth of sign-in rewards, and possibly even half a year or a year.

If Shen Xi were to throw the money in Cheng Fei's face, that would be for the best.

Cheng Fei considered it a big deal, since he had prepared a bunch of materials that he hadn't sold yet, and buyers of this caliber weren't available every day.

Giving up a task and exchanging the reward points for cash is a good option, even if it means losing a little money.

As for whether honestly paying off debts in the game is a bit pathetic, Cheng Fei doesn't care about that for the sake of money.

9. When a girl's heart beats

"Let's add each other as friends first, and then we can discuss it later," Cheng Fei said.

"You're not going to renege on your debt, are you?" the gloomy man asked suspiciously.

"How could that be? I really want to help them pay off their debts, so you can rest assured."

"Tsk, fine..."

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Cheng Fei's cheerful attitude left the gloomy man feeling powerless.

In his opinion, Cheng Fei was probably a rich guy taking the opportunity to flirt with girls, and he might even know those two girls in real life.

Spending tens of thousands of dollars just to show off.

They're really stupid and have too much money...

After adding Cheng Fei as a friend, the gloomy man looked at Nagasaki Asuna next to Cheng Fei.

With her bright pink twin ponytails, gentle and lovely features, full breasts, and long legs, she is impeccable as a game character, and it's clear she must be very beautiful in real life as well.

He had once wanted to pursue her, but the girl seemed easy to get along with, but she was actually very shrewd. If he said a few words to annoyed her, her smile would immediately disappear.

However, now, this goddess is brazenly leaning close to someone's ear, whispering and laughing, her attitude extremely ambiguous.

"I'm a little troubled about how to repay this favor..."

"Do as you please, I'm mainly here to help her..."

"That won't do. Otherwise, tell me what I should do..."

The guild members were well aware of their guild leader's thoughts, and upon seeing this, they exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.

"President, are we just going to let this go like this? Those two scoundrels are just too hateful."

"We can keep fighting with the material guys, but it's better to teach them a lesson."

"That's right, we'll beat you up every time we see you from now on!"

The gloomy man also felt an unnamed fire burning in his chest, staring intently at the backs of the two men.

That bitch...

Ultimately, it all comes down to seeing other people have money.

Cheng Fei could endure it, but he couldn't swallow this insult.

Two sets of Tier 4 equipment are not worth it!

He's going to show this damn guy today that, at least in this place, money doesn't work!

"Hey, Nana, I used to think you were alright, but now I see you're really shameless." The gloomy man called out to the two who were leaving.

"Knowing he has a girlfriend, you still went after him. Why didn't you say so earlier?" The gloomy man's voice trembled with excitement.

"I think A is just like you, pretending to be aloof all the time, but what she really wants is money, right?"

Hearing this, Nagasaki Asuna glared at the other person with extreme disgust, clenched her fists, and whispered, "Cheng Fei, log off..."

"What the hell is wrong with him?" Cheng Fei had no choice but to turn around.

A submachine gun slid from the gloomy man's hand and pointed it at Cheng Fei. "And you, you think you're so great just because you have money? I've changed my mind. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all the guild players simultaneously brandished their weapons, making their stance clear.

"Trying to run away, are you? Let me tell you, this isn't over yet. From now on, every time our guild sees you, we'll beat you up!" The gloomy man's lips curled into a smile.

"Isn't it good to make money through harmony..." Cheng Fei said bitterly.

"What did you say?"

"Why are you forcing me..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

“I didn’t want this to happen... You all forced me to.” Cheng Fei raised his head.

"What do you mean?!"

"What I mean is, you're not allowed to insult my girlfriend! And my friends too!"

A black longsword slid into the boy's palm, which he held out with one hand.

The cold light reflected from the blade flashed and disappeared in an instant.

"Fine, fine, so you dare to resist, huh?" The gloomy man laughed instead of getting angry, pointing a submachine gun in one hand at Cheng Fei and pulling the trigger. "I was just afraid you wouldn't resist!"

Two tongues of fire shot out, forming a dense net of fire.

However, the next moment, the gloomy man saw his barrage of comments being swept away by flashing swords.

A dark shadow rapidly magnified in his eyes.

Then, his vision began to spin uncontrollably, turning toward the sky.

"You are dead"

A system notification appeared, and he could also hear his companions shouting.

"President! What are you doing, President?!"

"The president is dead!"

"He's a melee fighter, take him down!"

"It's impossible to hit it!"

"Don't come any closer!"

……

Three minutes later.

The unknown guild was completely wiped out.

Asuna Nagasaki watched the whole thing, and her furrowed brows relaxed.

The girl stared blankly into space, her eyes reflecting the back of the sword-wielding boy, a strange light flickering within them.

……

Cheng Fei brought Nagasaki Asuna back to the main city and then planned to log off.

"By the way, Nana, are you free tomorrow at noon?" Cheng Fei waved his hand in front of the girl's eyes.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna snapped out of her daze.

Perhaps frightened by the sight of severed limbs flying everywhere, the girl was absent-minded the whole way, lost in thought.

"Let's have lunch together sometime," Cheng Fei said casually. "There's a Japanese restaurant near the electronics street—"

"Okay!" As soon as she said it, Nagasaki Asuna realized that she had agreed too quickly, before Cheng Fei had even finished speaking.

Cheng Fei was also a little surprised.

"But... what kind of invitation is this?" Nagasaki Asuna casually smoothed her hair, then turned her gaze to Cheng Fei and asked.
