Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

The air suddenly became deathly silent. Many players had already noticed this and started watching the spectacle. Under everyone's watchful eyes, An Xiaoyou calmly clasped her hands together, stretched her joints and neck, and a slight smile played on her lips:

"Oh......"

The next second, her expression instantly changed from calm to ferocious, and she lunged forward, brandishing her claws:

"*You son of a bitch, say that again?! Who the hell did you tell to get out?! She was the one who begged me to join, and you told her to fire someone?! Huh?!*

Qiao Ran quickly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back: "Hey, hey, hey! This is unnecessary. If we hurt him, the system will give us a ticket... Oh my god! I can't hold her back by myself!"

Xu Tai'an quickly ran over to lend a hand, but even she and Qiao Ran couldn't hold An Xiaoyou back.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Song Yuan stepped forward and pinched the back of An Xiaoyou's collar with two fingers, fixing An Xiaoyou in place. No matter how hard An Xiaoyou tried to push forward, she couldn't move an inch. She could only struggle and try to pry Song Yuan's fingers off.

"Ah! Don't stop me! Fine, I'll punish this idiot with points, I'm going to kill him today!"

The young man shrank back, intimidated by her imposing manner, but still stubbornly muttered to himself:

"That's right... She's my own sister, how could she possibly side with outsiders like you..."

Just after he blurted out the words "older sister," Song Yuan finally remembered where she had seen this guy before. She frowned and looked at the young man dressed in all black:

"Are you Song Mingyu?"

The moment those three words were uttered, Song Mingyu's eyes lit up. He nodded, leaving a lingering impression.

"It's me, sis! I knew you hadn't forgotten me. You still remember my name, right? You have to help me, I can't survive in a place like this by myself!"

An Xiaoyou was shocked and grabbed Song Yuan's clothes, asking incredulously:

"What?! This guy is really your brother?"

Qiao Ran also gasped, leaning close to Song Yuan and saying nervously, "No way?! Why don't you take another look? This filthy and useless guy can't possibly be your brother, right? You wouldn't fire us for him, would you?! You definitely wouldn't, would you?!"

Song Yuan was speechless: "...How could that be? I don't know him at all. Let go of me, don't get so close."

Qiao Ran and An Xiaoyou immediately let go and stepped aside. An Xiaoyou even scoffed at Song Mingyu provocatively—did you hear that? He said he's not familiar with you.

The light faded from Song Mingyu's eyes, replaced by despair and panic. He let out a piercing scream:

"Song Yuan?! You can't do this! You can't not help me! You...you don't know what kind of life our family has been like since you went to the hospital, Dad..."

"I know he's not treating you very well right now, is he?"

Song Yuan looked him up and down with great interest, showing no pity whatsoever.

"After all, I still remember when you were only seven years old, you weighed over 30 kilograms and were all fat. How come you've lost weight as you've gotten older? Didn't your family feed you?"

Song Mingyu suddenly fell silent. He wanted to accuse her of being so heartless, of letting him die, but Song Yuan seemed genuinely indifferent to his life or death. Besides, there were so many powerful players around her; if he cursed her, would he get beaten up?

"Let's go back to the guild headquarters."

Song Yuan turned around and walked straight towards the exit. The three of them followed, and An Xiaoyou gave him the middle finger before leaving. The players who had been watching the commotion dispersed, some secretly laughing at him and pointing and whispering behind his back. Others chased after Song Yuan and Qiao Ran with papers, asking for their autographs.

Song Mingyu stood there like a clown—just as he was about to pound the ground in frustration, a message notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding~ Player "Song Yuan" has gifted player "Song Mingyu" 5000 points. This transfer has been deposited into player "Song Mingyu's" account.]

He froze, his eyes widened to the extreme, and he suddenly raised his head.

The next day at noon, at Rose Mansion—the name Qiao Ran had given to the small villa where they lived.

Because of the increase in members, Qiao Ran used her points to expand her two-story villa. At this moment, the sunlight outside the window was perfect, roses swayed in the breeze, and their fragrance wafted into the living room. On the table were fruit and steaming white coffee. Qiao Ran held up the white certificate with gold lettering, admiring it repeatedly.

"This is amazing! Our guild has received its guild certification certificate! Why isn't anyone reacting? Isn't this incredibly exciting?"

An Xiaoyou was offline at the moment; An Xiaomei was sharing cake with Xu Tai'an. An Xiaomei said shyly:

"Um... I feel like the dungeon always ends before I know it. I feel like I haven't contributed anything to our guild."

Qiao Ran waved her hand to comfort her: "Don't think about it so much. Aren't you the main personality and the alternate personality? Nobody here will care about those things."

Xu Tai'an said shyly, "Actually, I'm quite happy. Although our guild was only recently established, we have everything we need."

After the three chatted for a while, Song Yuan returned and held up the folder in her hand to them:

"The information about the first guild we'll be facing in this PK tournament has been released."

The so-called "PK tournament" is simply a battle between guilds. The side that survives to the end wins. The PK tournament requires each guild leader to draw lots to determine their next opponent.

However, given Song Yuan's luck stat, their first opponent would undoubtedly be the toughest. But the PK tournament rules stipulated that the top 50 guilds from the previous competition would directly advance to the finals. This significantly reduced the difficulty of their participation.

Qiao Ran enthusiastically raised her hand: "Let me see, let me see!"

Song Yuan handed him the folder. Qiao Ran opened it and found only the guild name and member introductions. The member introductions briefly described their skill types.

"Our first team to face is [Circus Carnival]. Their ranking in the last PK competition was... no way, fifty-first place?" Song Yuan's luck is really consistent. If it weren't for the fact that the guild leader had to draw lots, anyone else would have been luckier than her.

Song Yuan said expressionlessly, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Although there was no anger or threat in her tone, the three of them shook their heads in unison. Qiao Ran said sincerely:

"This is a great draw. Our guild is all about playing challenging games like this; it aligns with our guild spirit."

An Xiaomei asked in confusion, "Huh? Does our guild have a guild spirit?"

Next, Qiao Ran introduced the skill types of the two members: [Circus Carnival] This time, the members who will be on stage are all hidden members. Their specific skills are unknown. We only know the skill types, and we cannot guarantee that they are true.

"Also, the dungeon we're going to be doing next has a special requirement," Qiao Ran pointed to the last line on the screen, "It requires a male and a female pair to form a team, which is why the opposing team only has two members this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the only man in the team:

Qiao Ran: "...Okay, everyone has seen the situation with our guild. So this time..."

Song Yuan made a decisive decision: "Qiao Ran and I will participate. The other two, An Xiaomei and Xu Tai'an, will go into another instance. It would be best to go into an old instance to practice your teamwork."

After all, both An Xiaomei and Xu Cheng'an are from the same social class, and they both shyly looked away when they made eye contact. An Xiaomei also has a rather fierce personality, and she may not necessarily get along with Xu Cheng'an; they would need to work on their relationship.

When the match time was up, Song Yuan and Qiao Ran arrived at the login gate and entered the game:

[Ding~ Congratulations, player, you have entered the dungeon "Angel's Heartbeat"]
