It was not a sudden impulse to suspect the hunter and his companion, the Black Mountain Demon.

When the two of them entered their live broadcast room for the first time, Xia Yao remembered their IDs.

Two new accounts registered less than three days ago, level 0, no tags, no avatars, and no browsing history.

This means that her live broadcast that day was their first viewing record on White Bear.

If she had such suspicions, she would be overly worried.

What really made her suspicious was that she was suddenly attacked by two unfamiliar players at Eagle Beach that day, and the other party's ID was exactly the same as the ID of the two people in the live broadcast room.

If it was a coincidence, Xia Yao would never believe it. One ID match was understandable, but two consecutive ID matches were as unlikely as a comet falling from the sky.

In addition, she accidentally discovered that someone on the world channel shouted "A certain mage actually obtained the skill of heaven-defying blessing", and she suddenly had the idea to go to the forum to find related posts. As a result, she found that the administrator had opened a separate post specifically introducing how he opened the Dragon Spirit Step skill in a certain mission, and finally simply congratulated him.

This operation is superfluous.

With so many players in the world unlocking rare and incredible skills, the system will at most announce it to the entire server. It is rare that a forum administrator will open a special post to congratulate them.

Xia Yao didn't know the specific reason behind this, but one thing made her really turn her hunter towards Xu Zhixian - the sense of sight.

As the leading e-sports club in China, Edmond has a strong and complex network of contacts. Under non-competition circumstances, team members sometimes play games for convenience and will privately find people from the game company to help out, such as providing free mission clues or even directly providing skills.

But most of them only dared to look for someone secretly, and very few people would show off in a high-profile manner, after all, it would easily lead to gossip. However, among this very few, Xia Yao remembered one in particular.

If this is true, then many of the concerns make sense.

He entered the live broadcast room with a fake account to trick her into revealing his true identity, and revealed himself to be Vermouth who had fixed the match that year. When that didn't work, he asked her through private messages, hoping to get her ID in "Eternity".

As for why he didn't directly announce her true identity in the live broadcast room, Xia Yao guessed that the other party probably didn't take her live broadcast seriously at all.

Yes, for Xu Zhixian, who just won the domestic "Dark World" championship, a guy who was banned for 3 years and whose e-sports career was ruined since then is not worthy of his attention at all.

So he just played around, finding different ways to play around in the live broadcast room to satisfy his arrogant and inflated desires.

Until one day.

He discovered some clues in the game.

She killed the sea monster boss alone, cleared the difficult dungeon alone, and remained at the top of both rankings.

She took away Edmund's position and even Xu Zhixian's glory.

Three years of e-sports career were enough for Xia Yao to understand Xu Zhixian's character: he was both inferior and arrogant, selfish and vain, longed for the spotlight, and was afraid of being forgotten.

Such a petty person, once he suspected that the person behind the ID Yinyao was her, he would try every possible means to take action.

Just like what happened to Vermouth.

A sneer flashed across his eyes for a moment.

On a new day, Xia Yao logged into the game and found new messages in the friend list.

[Player Sword Demon King wants to add you as a friend]

Don't know. Ignore.

She stayed at Aldridge's studio last night. She got up early in the morning, locked the door, and was about to leave when she ran into Ophelia, who also got up early.

Remembering something, Xia Yao stepped forward to start a conversation: "Ms. Ophelia, do you know any pharmacists in the city?"

"pharmacist?"

Ophelia tilted her head, her eyes a little dazed. Xia Yao's heart skipped a beat. Could she have been poisoned by the food she tasted last night?

Just as I was about to go forward to check, I saw Ophelia rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning again.

Xia Yao: Oh, it’s okay, it’s just early awakening syndrome.

"Hmm? Did you ask the pharmacist just now? Oh, let me think..." Ophelia stopped and thought seriously, "I do know one. She is a famous pharmacist in the empire, that's it..."

Xia Yao: "That's it?"

Ophelia said, looking thoughtfully at her boots: "You need to buy a better pair of shoes."

Xia Yao:?

"Oh no, you misunderstood." Xia Yao shook her head repeatedly, probably assuming she wanted to study pharmacy. "I'm just asking for my friend. If you can tell me her name, I'd like to thank you on behalf of my friend."

Xia Yao remembered that when they were at the Giant Turtle Mountain Lake, San Dao Fo mentioned that he wanted to learn alchemy, but he had trouble finding a suitable NPC, so he thought of asking Ophelia.

"Oh, I see." Ophelia turned her gaze away from Xia Yao. "Her name is Ashaya."

Ashaya? Such a familiar name.

Um wait, isn’t this the dean of the House of Scholars!

Xia Yao: w(Д)w

It turns out that the master is right next to her!

Today is a working day, and Sandaofo is not online yet, so Xia Yao sent him the name of the alchemist master he wanted to worship. The address and other things are unnecessary. After all, he was with them when they returned to the city to hand in the Bass mission, and he had also been to the Scholar's Academy.

After finishing all this, Xia Yao went to the House of Scholars. Ashaya was not in the house, but that did not affect the players from accepting quests. They could just pick up the quests on the small blackboard at the door. Then she left the city with the quests and killed some monsters. She couldn't lose her first place on the list. This was the oath she made to herself before entering the game - she could play the mage well, and the same was true for the support.

From day to night, and then from night to day. After three days of hard work, her level reached 17 and she had accumulated 200 bone grains. However, she still had 80% of the progress to reach 1000 bone grains to unlock the [Ring of the Kraken]. There was still a long way to go.

Fortunately, the honor of the House of Scholars unexpectedly reached 400, which was much faster than the 8 days she expected.

This is all due to the fact that she took on three very difficult tasks in a row. It seems that these three tasks have also been released by the Professional Hall. She will not give up and will complete them even if it means hard work!

So in the end, she successfully achieved all three results, and her honor value suddenly jumped to 400!

If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to exchange for the union founding order as early as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

That evening, all the tasks were almost completed, and Xia Yao went to the southern market.

She had previously forged five equipment slots and five enchantment gems, but one of them could only be inlaid on sword weapons. It would be a waste for a poet like her to keep it. Moreover, although the magic level of the gem looked to be level three, the added strength was only 14 points, which was not even as good as her four level one gems. It would be better to sell it to avoid taking up her slot.

Setting up a stall in the city requires paying a stall fee. Xia Yao paid 5 gold coins to the NPC, got a form, filled in the minimum stall duration of 1 hour, and then received a small wooden sign with C037 written on it.

This number is the location of the stall, which is distributed according to the combination of ABCDE and 1-100.

The sign she received was already at C, which meant that there were already more than 200 players setting up stalls in front of her.

Business was booming, and with the empire decorated with lights in the evening, the southern bazaar seemed particularly prosperous.

In this bustling scene, when Xia Yao placed the third-level gems and equipment slots on the stall, players, whether they were setting up stalls or walking on the street, all cast astonished glances at the things in front of her!

The author has something to say:

PS: I fixed a bug in the second chapter. The heroine made significant changes to her appearance and figure when she created her character, so Lao Xu didn't recognize her in the game.
