The people of Drunkflower Den had no idea what was going on, either, and only noticed that their guild leader was missing when they saw the messages on the world chat.

The people who knew Li Suo's phone number immediately called him. Soon, the people on world chat got their answer.

[World] Wind-walking The World : [Boss account was stolen.]

[World] Enjoying Wind : [his account was stolen? what kind of grudge makes someone delete it too???]

[World] Music For Miles : [got his comeuppance, eh? serves him right!]

[World] Wind-walking The World : [music, youre seeking death!]

[World] : [ink seeker dashen, your wifes causing trouble again]

[World] seawaves : [all account-stealers should just d!e in hel!]

[World] Ink Seeker : [Cant keep her in check.]

[World] Harrys Noble Deer : [ink seeker dashen means to say hes henpecked? why do I feel like hes adorable too?]

[World] Illusory Dream : [harry's deer, don't u think ur disgusting?! u actually called those types of ppl cute!]

[World] Harrys Noble Deer : [hey now lil buddy, who i call cute is my business. whatre u complainin abt?]

Shi Sheng turned off world chat and opened her private messages screen. She had gotten a message from Ink Seeker.

[PM] Ink Seeker : [You were behind it?]

[PM] Music For Miles : [guess]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [You were following Li Suo for the past few days. You were trying to deduce his schedule.]

Shi Sheng puffed her cheeks and typed in the chat.

[PM] Music For Miles : [whyre you asking if you already know?]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [To verify.]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [What are you planning?]

[PM] Music For Miles : [to seduce sang yus not late]

[PM] Ink Seeker : []

Even if the game company knew Li Suo's account was stolen, it would still take at least half a month for them to recover it for him. In this time, even if Li Suo made a new account or used someone else's, it would definitely not be as convenient as using his own.

So Shi Sheng meant it when she said she was going to seduce Sang Yu.

She had purchased a new deity character account on Taobao[1], changed the style to be more like Godly Tycoon's, then infiltrated Drunkflower Den. The persona she used was that of a very aloof Dashen.

Every day without fail, she'd bring the other lower-levelled characters to run dungeons.

[Guild] Idle Chess : [Level 110 dungeon. Join the party if youre going.]

[Guild] rain fall on her : [Me me me, Dashen, I wanna go!]

[Guild] darkone : [Bring me!]

[Guild] Illusory Dream : [I wanna go too!]

[Guild] Idle Chess : [Partys full.]

Shi Sheng looked at the username Sang Yu's Not Late in the party window and gave a sinister smile.

That's right, her new account was called Idle Chess and was ranked 20 on the leaderboards.

[Party] Illusory Dream : [sang yu, why are you here?]

[Party] Sang Yus Not Late : [Why cant I be here?]

[Party] Illusory Dream : [you started seducing others just bcos Dashens not around?!]

[Party] Sang Yus Not Late : [Illusory Dream, be more mindful of your words.]

[Party] Idle Chess : [Stop arguing, or leave.]

Illusory Dream immediately shut up. The others didn't dare to say more, either.

Shi Sheng was very satisfied with this. 'Seems like I successfully managed to forge myself into the very image of a Dashen.'

As they cleared the dungeon, Shi Sheng gave Sang Yu more attention and care than the others, though she didn't make it too obvious.

[Party] rain fall on her : [Dashen, what dropped?]

When Shi Sheng went over to loot the downed boss, another girl in the party couldn't help but feel curious and ask. Shi Sheng posted the items she had looted in the chat window.

[Sceptre of Light]

[Heaven Climbing Boots]

[Good Luck Pendant]

[Party] Illusory Dream : [Sceptre of Light! Dashen, your luck is awesome! *worships*]

The people who ran this dungeon almost all had the Sceptre of Light as their goal, since it was the best weapon drop the dungeon could give right now.

However, the number of people in the server who possessed this weapon could be counted using one's fingers, for the drop rate was ridiculously low.

Shi Sheng had run this dungeon with her Music For Miles account with the Undermoons, but it had taken over 30 runs to get just one of them.

[Party] rainfall on her : [The Sceptre is so beautiful! I want it but I'm a human, so I can't use it]

[Party] Idle Chess : [You guys can split the rest. Im keeping the Sceptre of Light.]

[Party] darkone : [Okay. After all it was Dashen carrying us. But Dashen, can we go again?]

Since Shi Sheng was the one who carried them through the dungeon, they had no right to make her hand over the Sceptre of Light.

Sang Yu quietly accepted her share of the loot and didn't kick up a fuss.

Yet after Shi Sheng disbanded the party, she invited Sang Yu back in.

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [?]

Shi Sheng simply gifted her the Sceptre of Light.

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [Dashen?]

Your friend has logged off. The message could not be sent.

Sang Yu stared at the screen in confusion.

In the following period, Shi Sheng found all sorts of excuses to take them dungeoning, doing her best to always include Sang Yu.

Whenever Shi Sheng got any good loot, she'd always send it to Sang Yu afterwards.

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [Dashen, why did you give me so much?]

[PM] Idle Chess : [I wanted to.]

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [?]

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [Dashen just what do you want?]

Shi Sheng didn't reply to Sang Yu's Not Late. After all, sometimes not replying was better than giving a reply.

Clearing dungeons with Sang Yu became part of Shi Sheng's daily routine. Though Sang Yu had been quite distant at first, they soon grew close enough that Sang Yu felt comfortable complaining about what happened at school and chatting about the game to Shi Sheng.

The whole time, Shi Sheng would merely listen quietly while giving the occasional reply, just like how a respected Dashen would act.

On this day, Shi Sheng had only just logged on when Sang Yu's Not Late sent her a message.

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [Dashen, Im very upset.]

[PM] Idle Chess : [?]

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [I saw him accompany Mu Li In Love in a dungeon today. But yesterday, he told me he wouldn't be free today.]

[PM] Idle Chess : [Li Suo?]

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [En.]

'What an excellent wingman Li Suo's being!' Shi Sheng opened the Shop screen and bought a few packs of fireworks.

[PM] Idle Chess : [Let me show you something.]

[PM] Sang Yus Not Late : [?]

Shi Sheng brought Sang Yu to Dream Restoration Peak, whereupon she set up a bot to automatically light fireworks.

Meanwhile, she used her laptop to login to her Music For Miles account. Several message alerts flashed the moment she logged on.

[PM] Snowfall Undermoon : [lil musey, whatve you been up to lately? hardly ever see you around]

[PM] Call Me Profiteer : [Dashen, will you really not sell Three Lifetimes to me? Please please please sell it to me?]

[PM] GM66 : [Dashen, have you gone missing? How should I report to the company ah???]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [Want to go to Twinklegem Tower?]

Shi Sheng closed every chat window but Ink Seeker's.

[PM] Music For Miles : [what lvl you at?]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [105.]

[PM] Music For Miles : [it's been this long and youve only reached 105? dashen, are you incapable?]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [Are you going or not?]

[PM] Music For Miles : [yh yh, course i will. just wait till ive finished seducing this girl first]

[PM] Ink Seeker : []

'This girl's weird hobbies I can't even She used to go gunning for that other girl's head as if they had some sort of vicious enmity, the type that meant that the both of them couldn't coexist in the same world But now she's gone to seduce her

She is really quite flexible!'

That's right, the flexible me has come to beg for votes!
