My main world refreshes weekly.

The veil, one of the Aphrodite sets, appeared so beautifully.

Just like when you first go to a shopping mall and worry that the princesses won't be pretty, but the first girl to walk in is exactly what you'd expect, it's a pleasant surprise.

Chen Ci's first reaction was surprise.

Game items are very rare and come in a wide variety, covering more than ten types including science fiction, fantasy, immortals, and urban legends. In this situation, the probability of finding a specific item is extremely low, yet I encountered it on my very first mission. Am I that lucky?

What's the difference between this and finding a lottery ticket on the street and winning the grand prize?

While pleasantly surprised, Chen Ci quickly realized something was wrong.

As we all know, not everyone is qualified to win the lottery. Two items related to the inheritance of destiny appeared one after the other, and the first item was even stolen... It's hard to say that this wasn't someone setting a trap to lure out the person who got the ring.

What may seem like a coincidence is often the result of careful calculation.

Chen Ci quickly calmed down.

This time, we can't just grab the bottles and act recklessly.

If it were the real "Veil of Aphrodite," he would definitely try to get his hands on it. He could buy it with money, barter with it, exchange it for other items... anything was fine, but he absolutely couldn't do it himself; he needed a "friend."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wanxin asked, noticing Chen Ci's slightly furrowed brow. "Is there a problem with the intelligence?"

"Didn't you notice?" Chen Ci retorted.

"You mean coincidence?" Jiang Wanxin shrugged, indicating that she didn't care. "Our mission is simply to do our best to help our employer get his worldline reward. Other things are none of our business."

Chen Ci looked up and gazed into Jiang Wanxin's eyes.

Jiang Wanxin smiled and met his gaze: "It seems like my little brother really likes my outfit today?"

Chen Ci pursed his lips and remained silent.

He felt he could trust Jiang Wanxin.

After all, Jiang Wanxin had been helping him ever since they met last night.

Logically, Jiang Wanxin shouldn't have bothered showing him mission intelligence, especially the first document, to someone who was just there to get familiar with the business. Yet Jiang Wanxin did it anyway, deliberately placing the two documents side-by-side. Was this a test, or a warning?

Or perhaps both?

Chen Ci probed indirectly: "Sister Jiang, do you like boys younger than you?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Jiang Wanxin walked over and sat down next to Chen Ci. The fragrance wafted into her nose, and her gentle eyes held a hint of allure. "Normally, I wouldn't be interested in a kid who doesn't even have a job, but if it's you... I might consider it."

"Because I'm handsome?" Chen Ci asked without batting an eye.

Jiang Wanxin smiled and said, "No, it's because you're very charming."

"Handsome" and "charming" may seem similar at first glance, but they are actually two different things.

Jiang Wanxin refers to attribute values.

The statement has been finalized.

To Jiang Wanxin, he was indeed that "special" person, which was why Jiang Wanxin chose to help him. This woman's claim of having terminal facial cancer was a ruse; the real reason was likely related to Jiang Wanxin and the "Goddess of Beauty."

"Sister Jiang, are you a 'demon'?" Chen Ci asked.

"No," Jiang Wanxin said with a smile, "I am a 'Star Envoy'."

"Star Envoy" and "Qi Master" are the most popular classes among domestic players. Their required attributes are relatively balanced, and their Destiny path is relatively easy to obtain.

"So, little brother, do you want to confess your feelings to your older sister?" Jiang Wanxin winked at Chen Ci. "Although love at first sight is often the same as lust at first sight, since you suit my taste in every way, I can give you a chance."

"Let's do it another day," Chen Ci said dismissively.

If it were before he entered the game last night, he would have been happy to chat with this beautiful older sister about some ambiguous topics, but after venting on the ghost bride for several hours, Chen Ci had become indifferent. What beauty or not, just a pink skeleton.

Jiang Wanxin wasn't in a hurry when she saw that Chen Ci wasn't cooperating. There was plenty of time; they would be colleagues in the future, and she would have plenty of time to tease this younger brother.

"By the way," Chen Ci thought of the ghost bride's dreamy eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and her neck tilted back—her stunning beauty—and couldn't help but think of the "Palace Sand Jade" in his backpack. He asked Jiang Wanxin, "Is there a direct correlation between the item's grade and its damage? How is it calculated?"

Jiang Wanxin asked in surprise, "You cleared the game last night and even got some items?"

Chen Ci remained calm: "No, I was just asking."

Jiang Wanxin didn't believe it. Chen Ci's feigned calmness didn't seem like he had nothing at all. On the contrary, it gave off a carefree feeling that "the props came easily and effortlessly." Jiang Wanxin seriously suspected that Chen Ci was showing off to her, but she had no evidence, and Chen Ci did indeed manage to put on a show.

To obtain items in any dungeon, a rating of A or above is required. Surviving the 6-hour difficulty of the newbie dungeon is already difficult enough, but Chen Ci even got an A rating. This made Jiang Wanxin feel even more that she had found a treasure, and that she might not be worse than the "immortals" of Nantianmen in the future.

Jiang Wanxin looked at Chen Ci with even greater admiration and explained to him, "Damage calculation is a very complex process. It's not just about looking at the numerical value, but also about considering the situation, such as the hit location, terrain interference, weather bonuses, and so on. There are too many factors that affect the final result, making it difficult to arrive at a fixed value."

"You just need to remember a general range."

Jiang Wanxin said, "Each grade of damaging item corresponds to two sequences for players. For example, the power of a D-grade item can usually directly threaten players in sequences 10 and 9, and some can even be fatal. C-grade items can damage players in sequences 8 and 7, and so on."

"The boundaries of functional items are even more blurred; how much of a role they play depends entirely on the item's effect and the player's own skill."

Chen Ci: Huh?

So, the ghost bride is pretty awesome?

Jiang Wanxin added, "Newly acquired items usually have 2-3 uses. This is for players to try and make mistakes. If you're unsure and want to know the exact effect, you can try it on a target."

"That won't do." A decent D-grade item can sell for tens of thousands, and his "Palace Sand Jade" is definitely going for six figures. Using it once costs more than 100,000, so Chen Ci couldn't bear to part with it.

However, Jiang's introduction gave Chen Ci more confidence in tonight's mission. With the ghost bride by his side, even if he encountered any danger and couldn't handle it, he should be able to escape without any problems.

As the two were talking, several men carrying towels to wipe their sweat pushed open the door and entered.

These are Chen Ci's colleagues.

Seeing that there was someone else in the room besides Jiang Wanxin, the group was simultaneously stunned. One of the men, who was twirling a revolver, saw Chen Ci turn around and exclaimed in astonishment, "Holy crap, brother!"

He said, "You're incredibly handsome!"

Chen Ci: "..."

Another man in a vest frowned slightly: "Jiang Wanxin, this is an office."

He seemed to have mistaken Chen Ci for Jiang Wanxin's new boyfriend and came here for a date. Because last night, Jiang Wanxin had mentioned to him that a new guy had arrived, very handsome, and that Nantianmen hadn't wanted him, but she had taken him into the club.

At the time, Jiang Wanxin didn't mention joining the team, because it wasn't enough for the council member to agree; they also had to get past the hurdle at Nantianmen. Now that the documents have been issued, Chen Ci can be considered an official member.

Jiang Wanxin pulled Chen Ci to his feet and said with a smile:

Let me introduce myself.

"This is our new colleague, Sequence 10, Closing Remarks."
