You could claim a bounty anywhere except in dungeons.

  And inside of a dungeon, you could only access private and party chats, so Shi Sheng peacefully spent time in the dungeon and got used to her character’s abilities. She also trawled the forums for a bit, and she made sure she was familiar with her character before leaving the dungeon.

  The moment she exited the dungeon, a couple of people spotted her and immediately launched attacks.

  Their levels weren’t as high as Shi Sheng’s and they weren’t in a party, so she finished them off fairly quickly.

  Shi Sheng went to an empty map and opened up the Top-Up Interface. The exchange rate between gold (the game’s premium currency) and RMB was 1:1.

  The bounties just now added up to a few thousand, so you could see that the male lead was quite generous for the sake of killing her.

  Chu Yunxi’s family background was quite good and presumably quite wealthy too, so Shi Sheng boldly bought a load of gold.

  She opened up the bounty interface and quickly placed bounties on those people who had put bounties on her……

  : [Dashen is only worth 1 gold…… so cheap.]

  : [Buying Heavenly Mystery Crystals! Please sell it if you have it!!!]

  : [What’s Clearwest playing at? Who’d actually claim this kind of bounty?]

  : Idiot. [Can’t you see she’s humiliating him on purpose? Just watch as she gets ganked.]

  : [100g for Clearwest’s co-ords.]

  : [Pfft~ Why do I suddenly find this girl a bit cute?]

  : [I’m not cute. Please call me handsome. Co-ords are 310,78. Come on, I’m waiting! Remember to gimme that 100 gold.]

  : [Clearwest, just you wait!]

  : [Clearwest, was this really your doing?]

  : [Clearwest, answer me!]

  Shi Sheng shut the world chat and continued setting bounties.

  ‘Oh wow lookie here, the female lead’s popped out.’


  Shi Sheng stopped setting bounties and hurriedly contacted Wooden Bellz.

  : [lil bellz, come to Returning Snow Village.]

  : [Clearwest-jie? What do you want me to go to the beginner village for? Weren’t you on Mt. Luhua? I’m heading there now.]

  : [……]

  ‘It was just something I said at random but you believe it?! Who’s that dumb to give their own co-ords?!’


  : [I’m at the Returning Snow Village right now. Come over and kill me.]

  : [Ah? Why would I kill Clearwest-jie? Don’t worry Clearwest-jie, I’m on your side! I don’t believe what they’re saying! I believe you’re innocent!]

  : [……Sang Yu’s Not Late put a bounty of 2,000 gold on me. Go and accept all the bounties. In a bit, we’ll split up the bounty 50-50.]

  : [Clearwest-jie…… you want this money too?]

  : [Why wouldn’t I want money that sent itself to my doorstep? Hurry on over.]

  Flowertalk Beauty and gang reached the place Shi Sheng reported but didn’t find anyone. Right at the moment where they started cursing, a long string of system messages appeared……

  : [Drunkflower Den’s members, Clearwest = KoS.]

  Loudspeaker messages were different from messages on world chat since they couldn’t be blocked. And they had special effects added to them so even if Shi Sheng wanted to ignore it, it was difficult. ‘You’re acting as if I stole your waifu……’


  When Wooden Bellz saw it, she immediately poked Shi Sheng nervously.

  : [Clearwest-jie, what do we do now?]

  : [Don’t be scared, big sis will protect you.]

  : [En, I trust Clearwest-jiejie.]

  ‘.……Just how blindly worshipful is she?’


  Once she had finished dividing up the spoils with Wooden Bellz, Shi Sheng urged her to log off before using her portion of the spoils to purchase a Name Change Card.

  This item was a bit expensive; just one cost 2,000 gold. She didn’t have much left of her spoils after purchasing it, so she just dumped the rest into setting up bounties.

  Then, she cleared out her friends list and left only Wooden Bellz in.

  Shi Sheng then used the Name Change Card. As a result, people discovered that when they looked up “Clearwest”, the result was that this person did not exist!

  : [Clearwest deleted her character? Otherwise why can’t I find her name?]

  : [deleted so easily? boring. was waiting to see their love-hate relationship unfold.]

  : [You want to die?!]

  : [big brother windy, you’re such a meanie! How can you bear to be so mean to mwe? Don’t be like that!]

  : [Snowfall…… stop going crazy. Come home and take your medicine.]

  : [Damned ladyboy! Disgusting!]

  : [big brother windy, how could you call me disgusting? my whole heart and body are yours!]

  : [……]

  : [……]

  : [……]

  : [Snowfall hasn’t had his medicine again?]

  The thing Snowfall Undermoon enjoyed the most was disgusting Wind-walking The World. The exact nature of the enmity between them was unknown.

  : [You guys are going off topic! Weren’t we just talking about Clearwest’s disappearance? Did she delete her character or change her username?]

  : [Clearwest’s friends: check if she changed her name!]

  : [According to my latest information, Clearwest has deleted all of her friends.]

  : [She changed her username.]

  : [Profiteer, what news you got? Do tell.]

  : [20g, no haggling.]

  : [Profiteer, why don’t you just go bury yourself in money?]

  : [Already did that.]

  As a result, the world chat evolved into a place to curse Profiteer, bringing things off topic again.

  In the end, Drunkflower Den decided to buy information from Profiteer.

  Profiteer had been doing a quest in the beginner village, so he had witnessed the whole shady deal between Shi Sheng and Wooden Bellz. He also saw what Shi Sheng had changed her username to.

  As to what it was?

  100 gold, not up for bargain.

  The Drunkflower Den guild gritted its teeth as it handed over 100 gold.

  Profiteer was actually selling it to them cheap. Since there was a Name Change Card, there was naturally an item being sold that could allow one to check for previous usernames. This item cost 200 gold to buy.

  Drunkflower Den knew this, so they didn’t try haggling.

  The reason Shi Sheng changed her username wasn’t to avoid them. It was just for the sake of making herself feel better, so she wasn’t afraid of them finding out her current name.
