Chapter Thirty: Lonely Clouds



She gave away something that even she herself might not be able to buy.

Is there some secret he doesn't know?

Thinking of the various flowers in the other party's greenhouse, as well as the fruits and vegetables that were different from those on the market in both appearance and taste, He Zhan made a bold guess.

Perhaps this Ganoderma lucidum was also cultivated by her own hands?

And her extraordinary strength.

This little girl is clearly hiding something.

If that's the case, then his assessment of Tang Xiaoxiao would have to be raised several levels.

This wasn't because He Zhan was overly materialistic. He and Tang Xiaoxiao were not related; everything was based on the value the other person possessed. Admittedly, people inevitably develop some bond over time, but if Tang Xiaoxiao were just an ordinary office worker like in his previous life, someone of He Zhan's status would never have any interaction with her.

Tang Xiaoxiao was unaware that she had almost exposed some secrets at the He family's house. She returned home in a good mood, took a comfortable hot shower, changed into comfortable home clothes, and drank a cup of spiritual spring water in her space before feeling that the pain in her whole body had been relieved.

Although she felt physically exhausted, she was mentally excited. Thinking that she hadn't logged into the game since the last guild war during the Chinese New Year, she turned on her computer and opened the "Godslayer" client.

As soon as she logged on, her private chat window kept flashing. In addition to people from her guild, there were also many messages from strangers. After reading a few, she felt they were meaningless and closed them all.

After thinking about it, she also blocked the permission for strangers to chat privately.

There's a friend online notification feature in "Godslayer". She saw it as soon as she logged in and the guild leader messaged her privately: "Xiaoxiao, come to the warehouse, I have something for you."

She arrived at the warehouse as instructed, where the gang leader was already waiting. Upon seeing her, he didn't say much and immediately initiated a trade request.

Tang Xiaoxiao clicked "Accept," and an item appeared in her backpack.

Upon closer inspection, it's an extremely rare attribute gem, an essential top-tier item for forging weapons at the next level. It would probably fetch around 3,000-4,000 gold if sold.

As far as she knew, the gem was dropped during a dungeon run, and because it was so valuable, it had been kept in the guild's warehouse without a decision on how to distribute it.

Then the guild leader typed: "You made great contributions in the last guild war. This is something that everyone agreed should be given to you after discussion."

Seeing that the gang leader said so, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile. Although she had never led a gang before, she knew that the monthly income of a gang's territory was over 100,000 gold. Since they had defeated Xiaoyao Pavilion, the other party's territory income for the next three months would belong to their side, and the gang had made a considerable profit this time.

However, she still modestly said, "The victory of the guild war is inseparable from the efforts of every member who participated. My strength alone is ultimately limited."

The guild leader replied, "Don't worry, the other members have already received their rewards according to their contribution. You haven't been online these past few days, so this one was reserved especially for you."

Tang Xiaoxiao then stopped talking, and then the gang leader invited her, "Everyone's having a party on TT, why don't you come and join in the fun?"

TT is the voice chat system that comes with "Godslayer". Because unified command is needed for various group activities, typing in the game is too slow, so everyone follows voice commands on TT. Tang Xiaoxiao also had an account, but she had never spoken.

Because she only focuses on spending money on in-game purchases and doesn't enjoy socializing or having fancy outfits and cute pets like other female players, many people privately speculate that she is actually a man.

I arrived at the Brotherhood channel, and someone was singing on the mic. It was a relatively niche ancient-style song, with a very clear and refreshing voice, which evoked the image of a handsome young gentleman from ancient times.

However, Tang Xiaoxiao found the voice to be very familiar.

Tang Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw the other person's ID.

"A lone cloud drifts leisurely by."

Isn't that Han Yunqi's game name?

In her previous life, she started playing the game six months after it was launched. Han Yunqi started playing a little earlier than her, but she never asked him exactly when.

Could this be him?

Thinking of this, she switched to the game and looked through the list of guild members. Sure enough, she found an ID called "孤云独去闲" (Lonely Cloud Goes Leisurely). She breathed a sigh of relief.

Duplicate IDs are not allowed in the "Godslayer" game, so this must be Han Yunqi.

As expected, he played the game in the same way he did in his previous life.

In their past lives, they were both nobodys. They stayed in the same gang for nearly two years but rarely interacted. Apart from some group activities, they almost never spoke to each other alone until they met at an offline gathering and things started to develop between them.

She had long harbored desires for him throughout her life, but to Han Yunqi, she was still just a stranger.

Tang Xiaoxiao, who had never taken the initiative in either of her two lives, was at a loss as to how to proceed. She didn't want to pretend they didn't know each other and endure it for two years, just like in her previous life.

Amidst my jumbled thoughts, I heard the host's sweet voice on TT say in an exaggerated tone, "Wow, our new handsome young man's singing is amazing! A guy with such a great voice must be good-looking too. Ladies, don't miss out! Now, let's see who's coming up to perform next..."

It turns out that "Lonely Clouds Going Leisurely" is a gang that just joined today. The gang hasn't had any entertainment activities for a while, so they held a small singing party, firstly to welcome the new members and secondly to promote friendship among everyone.

This is a long-standing tradition of the Brotherhood Alliance. In her previous life, Tang Xiaoxiao had participated many times, but she was always just a listener and never spoke up or made a fuss.

However, she forgot that she was no longer an unknown figure in the gang. Although she did not hold any official position, everyone regarded her as a backbone of the gang and a big spender who needed to be revered.

The host quickly noticed her presence, and a voice came from the speakers: "Our beloved Xiaoxiao is here! It's been so many days since she's been online. Was she too busy during the Chinese New Year? Does she have a microphone? Would she like to come up and say a few words to everyone?"

To avoid disturbing her parents, Tang Xiaoxiao usually wears headphones while playing games. The headphones have a built-in microphone, so she can talk, but she never used to because she felt it was unnecessary and didn't want to attract attention.

Now that the host has called on her, she suddenly feels inexplicably nervous because of Han Yunqi's presence.

After thinking for a moment, she turned on the chat button and said softly, "Can you hear me? Happy New Year, everyone."

The public chat screen instantly filled with a series of messages.

"I can hear you, I can hear you"

Wow! Xiaoxiao is such a lovely lady! Her voice is so sweet!

"What a sweet voice! She must be a stunning beauty in real life."

"A beautiful, sweet-voiced, and rich young lady, hahaha!"

"Miss seeking sugar daddy/sugar baby"

"Master, do you need a leg accessory?"
