Chapter 257

After learning the background information, Rong Rong tidied up the original owner's house thoroughly.

The original owner's parents died early, in a car accident when she had just started college.

The couple left the original owner a house, and the car accident compensation was just enough for the original owner to go to university.

After the original owner's parents passed away, the original owner's other relatives almost never had any contact with him again.

This might seem cold to some, but to Rong Rong, who has traveled through many worlds, the fact that her relatives didn't try to take the original owner's house and compensation was already a sign of kindness.

The original owner's room wasn't messy, and Rong Rong tidied it up quickly.

By the time Rongrong finished getting ready and lay down on the bed, only a morning had passed. After resting for a while, Rongrong ordered takeout for lunch.

The original owner graduated from university a year ago and hasn't looked for a job since. All he does every day is play games and grind dungeons.

However, the original owner made some money by leading people through dungeons in the game and selling equipment and materials. It wasn't much, but it was enough for the homebody to make a living.

Rong Rong checked the original owner's bank balance.

It would allow her to eat for another six months without doing anything.

After eating and drinking her fill, Rong Rong lay down in the original owner's game pod.

She had never played online games before, not even ordinary keyboard-based online games, let alone holographic virtual online games that connect the five senses.

To be honest, Rongrong was still very curious.

As soon as Rong Rong lay down, everything went black before her eyes, and then a floating panel appeared.

The panel was right in front of Rong Rong, and no matter which direction Rong Rong turned her head, the panel would move with her eyes.

Rong Rong looked at it carefully and realized that it was the game's login screen.

Contrary to what players on Tieba speculated, the account "Snowy Velvet" was not the original owner's main account.

The original owner's main account was another seemingly ordinary max-level life account, but now that this account has Rong Rong's face, it's anything but ordinary.

Currently, Rong Rong has four accounts to choose from for logging in. Besides the original owner's main account, the other three are the wives of the leaders of the three major gangs.

Rong Rong hesitated for a moment, then chose neither option. She used the original owner's items to create a new account and entered "A Dream of Jianghu" as a novice.

Since this is Rong Rong's first time playing a game, she should start from level 0.

The original owner had her own "A Dream of Jianghu," and Rong Rong also wanted her own "A Dream of Jianghu"!

Like most games, Rong Rong appears in the starting village after entering the game.

The starting village has a protection mechanism; monsters here will not attack players unless provoked, and players cannot fight each other.

Players will only face the dangers of the entire martial arts world once they reach level 20 and leave the starting village.

Rong Rong followed the quest instructions to find the NPC to accept the quest, running around in the newbie village, busy as a bee.

One minute she's feeding the chickens for Aunt Li, the next she's catching fish for Wang Xiaohu, and then she's running errands for the village chief to buy things.

At this moment, Rong Rong's image is that of a little girl with an adorable baby face.

When creating an account, the original owner's special items allow the new account's body shape and appearance to be customized by the owner, which is commonly known as character customization.

After experiencing the previous world and thoroughly understanding Jiang Yetang, Rong Rong suddenly realized that having a baby face was really great; it was deceptive and could even be used to tease people.

Rong Rong was completing tasks at lightning speed, truly experiencing the charm of holographic online games.

Here she can do whatever she wants.

To put it simply, it's like traveling to a new world, a world where death is inevitable.

While Rong Rong has already put aside her troubles and started a new life, Xing Ren and Yun Xiao Ke, who know they have been tricked, are not in such a good mood.

Yunxiaoke was a bit better; he married Xue Rongrong in the game purely to complete the couple quests.

It was nothing more than a transaction between the two of them. He needed a wife to do missions and get rewards, to handle the logistics of the gang, and to fend off unwanted suitors for him.

Snowflakes, on the other hand, require high-end materials to create equipment, which can then be sold for profit.

The two were not in love when they got together. The reason why Yunxiaoke chose Xue Rongrong as the leader's wife was simply because she had a good temper and was reliable.

However, this does not change the fact that Cloudwalker dislikes Snowflake.

He hates being deceived!

Without saying a word, Yunxiaoke logged into the game, found an NPC, forced Xue Rongrong to divorce him, kicked Xue Rongrong out of the guild, and blocked her as a friend.

Perhaps Xue Rongrong should be glad that she hadn't betrayed any information about Zhan Tang or done anything detrimental to Zhan Tang, otherwise Yunxiao Ke would never have let the matter pass so easily.

Don't be fooled by Yunxiao Ke's busy work schedule and apparent lack of concern for gang affairs.

In fact, he knew the situation of the gang better than anyone else.

He knew perfectly well whether Xue Rongrong had betrayed Zhan Tang, and he was even more certain that Xue Rongrong was a spy sent by Jian Ying.

The Aoshi Alliance can fool other players, but they can't fool him, nor can they fool the Star Blade of the Seven Star Pavilion.

At this moment, Xingren was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

The thought that his encounter with Xue Rongrong was the result of Xue Rongrong's deliberate scheming made him want to kill.

Xingren is notorious for being vindictive and petty, not only in the game but also in real life.

If you dare to mess with him, he will never let it go!

Xingren chuckled coldly and took a swig of his drink. His friend, who was chatting excitedly beside him, asked curiously, "What's wrong with Young Master Pei? Drinking alone like this, who's bothered you?"

Xingren ignored his friend's question, and another person next to him answered for him.

"Someone dared to mess with our Second Young Master, and he's furious!"

This is a luxury suite in an entertainment club.

A group of men and women were drinking, singing, chatting, and playing cards together, and even intimate sounds could be heard coming from the next bedroom.

Those present were all young masters and ladies from the second-generation elites of Shanghai, but it was clear that they were divided into several factions.

Those who are sitting and chatting properly are all career-oriented people who have already taken over the family business.

Those who flirt wildly with members of the opposite sex are all spoiled rich kids who indulge in debauchery. These people are proficient in everything except drugs.

Those like Xingren, who only sit around on the sofa drinking and playing cards, are idlers who are strictly controlled at home and don't like to do anything.

They idle around all day, eating and drinking, but they spend most of their time at home pursuing their hobbies.

Xingren's hobby is playing games, and he has many other hobbies like him.

Their circle is implicitly led by Xingren, not only because Xingren is assertive and has a bad temper, but also because Xingren has the Pei family behind him.

In the circle, Xingren is simply called the Second Young Master, even his surname is omitted. There are many second-generation rich kids in Shanghai, but there is only one Second Young Master, Pei Xingren.

"Who's messing with our second young master? I'll teach him a lesson!" His friend was incredulous, patting his chest and rolling up his sleeves, looking ready to fight at any moment.

"A woman in the game deceived our second young master's feelings."

"Nonsense! I've never taken anyone seriously!" Pei Xingren bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his expression turning vicious.

He casually took on a disciple to complete a master-disciple mission, and later, seeing that the disciple was well-behaved, he agreed when the disciple proposed to become the leader's wife.

At the time, he thought she liked him and was confessing her feelings to him. Now, looking back, he realized that she only wanted to be the leader's wife for the sake of her spy mission.

It was this inside story that made Pei Xingren even more furious.

Damn! It's like he's just being delusional; it's an utter disgrace!
