Three or four days passed in a flash, and Qin Wan still hadn't logged on. She spent her days coming and going with Lu Huai.

Xie Zijue was still angry and was waiting for Qin Wan to log on and team up for a quest so he could take revenge.

But seeing that Qin Wan refused to log in to the game, his plan could not be implemented for a long time.

In the end, Xie Zijue had no choice but to swallow his pride and go to Qin Wan himself...

School cafeteria.

Qin Wan and Lu Huai were having a meal when Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya suddenly sat down opposite them with their plates.

"Wanwan, I triggered a secret realm dungeon last night. Do you want to log in and team up with me?" Jiang Ya asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan paused in her eating, then lazily glanced at her, asking, "What level of dungeon quest?"

“Level 5…” A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Ya’s face.

Qin Wan didn't care about level nine dungeon quests, letting them expire and become invalid.

Will Qin Wan really accept her invitation to the level 5 dungeon?

Jiang Ya couldn't help but have doubts.

"You know, I don't even care about dungeons below level eight."

Jiang Ya: "..."

Xie Zijue: "..."

Only Lu Huai had a faint smile in his eyes.

"I……"

"Why don't you and Xie Zijue try harder, and once you two get a dungeon of level eight or higher, I'll team up with you to do quests?"

Jiang Ya: "..."

Xie Zijue: "..."

Why would they want her to do quests with them when there are dungeons of level 8 or higher?

Wouldn't it be better to keep all the rewards for yourself?

They also have to give away the benefits they've already gained; they're not as crazy as Qin Wan.

Just as the situation became awkward, Lu Huai suddenly spoke up.

"I triggered an eighth-level dungeon last night."

Instantly, all three people present focused their attention on him.

"The mission ends at midnight tonight. Do you want to team up?" Lu Huai asked Qin Wan, clearly seeking her opinion.

Qin Wan shrugged. "Whatever, I'm fine with anything."

"Then let's do it tonight," Jiang Ya quickly said, afraid that if she hesitated any longer, Lu Huai and Qin Wan would change their minds.

"We can also complete the level 5 dungeon I triggered at the same time."

Qin Wan glanced at her indifferently without saying a word. Xie Zijue was racking her brains trying to figure out how to swallow her pride and find a topic to talk to Qin Wan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huai's timely intervention solved this problem for him.

Thinking of this, Xie Zijue glanced at Lu Huai, pondering how to make good use of him.

Another day of classes has come to a successful end.

To prevent Qin Wan from forgetting to log on again, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue personally escorted Qin Wan and Lu Huai to their doorstep.

The brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two of them safely enter the house.

"Cousin, let's hurry home. There's only half an hour left before we agreed to meet."

"Um."

Half an hour later, in the game "Nine Provinces Under Heaven".

When Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue logged in, they found that Qin Wan and Lu Huai were actually doing a dungeon run...

Jiang Ya: "???"

Xie Zijue: "This is outrageous!!!"

After regaining her senses, Jiang Ya frantically sent private messages to Qin Wan, demanding an answer.

Jiang Ya: "Wanwan, didn't we agree to team up? Why are you and Lu Huai already on the mission?"

Jiang Ya: "Wanwan, don't you think you owe us an explanation?"

Jiang Ya: "Wanwan, I'm so sad. I never expected you to treat me like this."

Jiang Ya: "My cousin and I truly consider you a friend..."

The message failed to send; the recipient has blocked you.

Jiang Ya: "???"

Jiang Ya was trembling with anger. "Cousin, I can't take it anymore."

"I don't want to put up with it anymore," Xie Zijue said with a gloomy expression.

"What do we do now?" Jiang Ya asked Xie Zijue anxiously.

"Do you still remember the Hell Dungeon?" Xie Zijue suddenly asked.

"You mean that banned instance?"

"right!"

"That's the instance."

Jiang Ya frowned. "I remember that instance has been banned; no one can get in."

Hellish dungeons, a one-way trip...

That instance had a bug; once a player accidentally entered it, their consciousness would be trapped inside, unable to exit the game, and they would never be able to log off and return to normal life.

After discovering the bug in the dungeon, the game developers immediately and permanently banned it, making it inaccessible.

"I have a way to get in." Xie Zijue narrowed his eyes, his face sinister.

Jiang Ya frowned, a hint of unease on her face. "Cousin, aren't we going a bit too far?"

"We're just after money, and we don't have any deep-seated grudges against Qin Wan."

Xie Zijue frowned and glanced at Jiang Ya indifferently. "What are you thinking? Who said I was going to deal with Qin Wan?"

"Not Qin Wan?" Jiang Ya was taken aback.

Who else could it be but Qin Wan?

Soon, a familiar figure appeared in Jiang Ya's mind.

Lu...Huai?

"Cousin, aren't we going too far by doing this?"

“Lu Huai is even less familiar with us, and we don’t even have any interaction.” Jiang Ya rarely felt a pang of pity.

“Aya, you don’t need to pity someone like Lu Huai.” Xie Zijue narrowed his eyes dangerously, as if he had thought of something.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya frowned and looked at Xie Zijue with a puzzled expression.

"Cousin, you... know Lu Huai very well?"

"I wouldn't call it knowing much; I just asked around out of curiosity."

"He's just a little bastard whose father is unknown and whose mother doesn't want him."

"Someone like him doesn't even care about his own parents, so why should we be lenient with him?"

"Besides, he's just trapped in the game, he's not going to die."

"His body is lying in the game pod, with nutrient solution maintaining the normal functioning of his body, and Qin Wan is taking care of him, so he will be fine."

"Besides, it was Qin Wan who took him to play in the Nine Provinces World. Even if something really happens, it's Qin Wan's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you and me."

"With Lu Huai out of the way, it'll just be the two of us by Qin Wan's side again. Then, we can work together to keep Qin Wan completely under our control, and I'll figure out a way to sell her equipment and turn it into cash..."

"After we get the benefits, we'll pretend to discover the truth about Lu Huai's disappearance and take the opportunity to tell Qin Wan. That way, Qin Wan won't blame us; she'll even be grateful to us..."

"At that time, Qin Wan will be completely focused on how to rescue Lu Huai, and will no longer care about the two of us..."

Xie Zijue didn't go into too much detail, such as how he planned to scheme against Qin Wan, making her devoted to him and willingly sell her magical artifacts and equipment under his influence.

For example, Xie Zijue didn't say how to carry out the whole thing, but his determined expression showed that he already had a plan in mind.

Jiang Ya, on the other hand, had a look of struggle in her eyes...

She simply wanted to take advantage of the situation and make some money.

She didn't want to break the law, much less do something that could harm someone's life.

Even though Xie Zijue swore that his life was not in danger, Jiang Ya was still worried...
