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

"I can only feel relieved if you die here. What should I do?"

Wang Daqiang hid in the room, leaving only a crack in the door. Looking at his weapon, which was covered in white scratches from An Xiaomei, he angrily pinched his philtrum—the difference was so huge, so incredibly huge!

He's a veteran player who's played dozens of games, and he can't even beat a newbie?!

Moreover, it wasn't just Song Yuan; An Xiaomei's strength also shocked him to some extent. His [Rough Man's Heavy Hammer] was an A+ grade weapon, while An Xiaomei's overall grade was only B, yet her skills could inflict actual damage on an A+ grade weapon.

No wonder Midnight Soul spent so much effort training her; both of them are naturally gifted players!

"I'm even more puzzled about what benefits Fu Zhengyang gave you to get you to work for him."

Song Yuan, dragging Wang Daqiang's weapon, gradually closed the distance between them. Song Yuan's tone was completely flat:

"For my own sake, I don't want you to die in this instance. You probably have dissociative identity disorder. He Li takes such good care of you; if you die here, she'll be heartbroken."

Dissociative identity disorder is what people commonly refer to as "multiple personality disorder." Song Yuan once saw An Xiaomei's medical record, which stated "antisocial personality disorder, severe paranoia."

She has both of these illnesses; how could she be a simple person?!

After meeting An Xiaomei at the restaurant, Qiao Ran suggested they discuss it privately before making a decision. At that time, Qiao Ran told her:

"This player is acting strangely. Oh, I haven't told you yet, have I? There's a looks ranking in the game specifically for players with outstanding appearances, and I'm currently in second place."

To climb to number one as soon as possible, I memorized all the player information on the appearance ranking list. An Xiaomei's appearance score has already reached over 85; theoretically, such a beautiful player should have already made it into the top ten.

But I'm certain I don't know her, so there are only two possibilities. First, she's a new player with low visibility, so she's not on the leaderboard yet. But her overall rating is already B, so that possibility can be ruled out.

Secondly, she was a defector. I overheard some gossip from Crystal Guild members about an incident that happened in the neighboring guild, [Midnight Ghost]. Six promising newcomers were sent to a dungeon for training, as arranged by the guild.

Near the end, one of the team members suddenly went berserk and wiped out all the monsters, NPCs, and the other five team members in the entire instance.

Okay, although I have no evidence, we still need to be cautious about this player named An Xiaomei. At least I don't think she's trustworthy.

The reason Song Yuan agreed to let An Xiaomei come with them was because she was someone He Li had taken good care of. Furthermore, the medical record didn't include "dissociative identity disorder," and Song Yuan hadn't expected it to be such a troublesome case as dual personality disorder. If she killed her, it would be a double tragedy, killing both the good and evil personalities.

After hearing Song Yuan's words, An Xiaomei shrugged indifferently:

"There's nothing special about it. That old man is stingy. Anyway, as long as I kill the two of you, they'll drop my arrest warrant and let me stay in the guild."

She put her hands behind her back and stuck out a small piece of her bright red tongue at Song Yuan, looking both delicate and playful.

"After all, only by staying in a big guild like this can you have a chance to fight in PvP and climb to the top of the player rankings. And coincidentally, I have a wish that I absolutely must fulfill, so I'll just have to trouble you all to die!"

After saying that, she rushed up again. The narrow stairwell was really not convenient for fighting, so Song Yuan, carrying Wang Daqiang's iron hammer, ran towards the rooftop.

Wang Daqiang watched helplessly as the weapon flew away from him:

"You two damn women, come back here to me!!!"

[System Notification: Ding~ Attention all players, a thief is on the run! A thief is on the run!]

As Song Yuan climbed the building, she tilted her head, puzzled as to why she had received such a notification. Little did she know that An Xiaomei, who was relentlessly chasing after her, was also taken aback—all players had received the notification:

As night falls, in order to concoct the love potion as soon as possible and gain their husbands' eternal love, the wives of Love Apartment are diligently cleaning their rooms to gather the ingredients, each drop of sweat bringing its reward.

[But there's one player! Refusing to work for themselves, they choose to plunder the fruits of NPCs' labor to achieve their final goal. That's not good!]

Player "Qiao Ran" has unlocked a new monster, "The Wrathful Housewife." This will put the player in a situation where they are chased by all the "Wrathful Housewives" in the entire building. Other players can also join the chase. If the materials are successfully retrieved, the player will receive +1 Hope Point. Hope Points can offset Disappointment Points, so please help out!

Song Yuan and An Xiaomei both heard the "rumbling" sound of footsteps on the stairs, as if more than a hundred people were crowding into the narrow stairwell at the same time. The commotion was so loud that even people in their building could hear it.

Song Yuan frowned. This wasn't the plan Qiao Ran had originally told her. She'd even unlocked new monsters? Judging from their voices, there seemed to be quite a few of them.

Something must have happened.

"They kept saying they didn't need me to save the day, but it turned out like this."

She silently repeated this to herself, changed direction, and instead of heading towards the rooftop, moved closer to the building from which the sound was coming. An Xiaomei chased after her in her "Frenzy" car, occasionally scratching her back, but she still couldn't catch up. Finally, she started to get annoyed.

"Tsk! You coward who only knows how to run away, why don't you stop and fight! Come on!"

While running, Song Yuan turned around and gave an objective evaluation: "Your talent bonus is still not strong enough. After you get out, do more dungeons and level up honestly."

She didn't mean to mock; she was simply stating an objective fact. An Xiaomei's expression twisted with rage, making her look even more insane.

"You damn brat! What's so great about you? You deliberately provoked me by not using your weapons or talents. Just you wait, just you wait, I'll make sure you don't even know how you died!!!"

When she reached the corridor, An Xiaomei cursed under her breath and quickly ran into the emergency exit to change floors: being with Song Yuan, that unlucky guy, would lower her luck by a full half.

This also created distance between her and Song Yuan. Song Yuan ran all the way to the corridor of Building One, where the stomping noise was the loudest, only to find the corridor already crowded with monsters:

These "angry housewives" filled the entire corridor like zombies from the apocalypse. Just as Song Yuan had seen before, the female NPCs here all had different appearances, even when they had mutated and gone mad; players could still recognize their original faces from their rotting and swollen features.

They're moving towards the rooftop!

Qiao Ran must be on the roof. Going up the stairs is impossible; they're full of monsters. What other way is there? What other way can we get up there?!

Her gaze fell upon the air conditioner units outside the window. The distance between each unit wasn't short, but given her explosive power...

Before she could even decide whether to go up, a long, jet-black whip lashed out from the monster horde opposite, slashing towards her with a powerful gust of wind. The whip's trajectory was like a snake flicking its tongue, completely unpredictable. With no way to dodge, she simply flipped over the railing, hanging suspended in mid-air.

"We meet again, little girl."
