Swish!

Swish!

Two beams of white light descended.

Lu Ming and Qin Churan appeared one after another in Starlight City.

Even at 11 PM, the city was bustling with crowds.

Lu Ming glanced at the energetic Qin Churan beside him and asked, "Do you stay up late every day?"

"Occasionally," Qin Churan replied. "There are one or two days a week when I don't."

Oh!

So that's what you call occasionally staying up late!

"Isn't it more like you occasionally don't stay up?"

"I have nothing left," Qin Churan said, her words originally heavy but now sounding relieved. "So, I have to try harder!"

"You're not without anything," Lu Ming said, looking at Qin Churan. "You still have me."

It was clear that Mr. Lu was really trying hard to win Miss Qin's heart.

Qin Churan smiled sweetly, "Yes, now I have you!"

At this moment, Lu Ming looked around and asked, "Where's that person?"

"He said he's leveling up in the wild and asked me to find him," Qin Churan seemed to notice the helplessness in Lu Ming's eyes and said, "There's no choice, he's an investor!"

After a pause, Qin Churan continued, "Maybe you shouldn't come with me. You should log off and rest early."

"His dad had dealings with A-Long and the others. I know him, and his dad is a good person. I can go alone, don't worry."

"Oh, right! Send me your card number. Once I secure the investment, I'll have him transfer the money directly to your account. My card is frozen."

Lu Ming teased Qin Churan, "A million, just like that, into my account? Aren't you afraid I'll run off with your money?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Churan wasn't worried at all and playfully said, "You wouldn't bear to run off with me, let alone my money."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Alright, you go ahead then."

Qin Churan looked up at Lu Ming.

With a hopeful look, she said, "You're... really not coming?"

Lu Ming, with a carefree attitude, replied, "Didn't you tell me not to?"

"Alright then, I'm leaving..."

After taking a few steps, she turned back to see Lu Ming logging off on the spot, and Qin Churan frowned.

"Hmph! What a fool!"

So, Qin Churan had no choice but to leave the city alone.

Following the map's guidance, she arrived at the level 38 wild area map, Bone Tower, located in the eastern part of Starlight City, after about ten minutes.

Looking around, she saw a group of level 36 players teaming up to hunt the level 38 monsters, Bone Sentinels, scattered between the towers.

At this moment, the players also noticed Qin Churan.

"Master Hui, Miss Qin Churan is here!"

As soon as a level 35 blue-armored warrior, [Glorious Prosperity], finished speaking.

In the crowd, a young level 36 archer, [Glorious Era], who looked just over twenty and had a wild and unruly demeanor, shot down a nearly dead Bone Sentinel with an arrow.

Seeing Qin Churan, his heart surged with excitement and fervor.

Qin Churan approached and greeted Glorious Era with a smile, "Master Hui, long time no see!"

Glorious Era's eyes, full of brilliance, eagerly scanned Qin Churan.

Then he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Ranran, you're still as beautiful as ever!"

Qin Churan felt uncomfortable under Glorious Era's gaze, but since he was an investor, she couldn't say much and just smiled politely, "Master Hui, you're too kind."

After looking Qin Churan up and down, Glorious Era got straight to the point, "Let's not beat around the bush and be frank!"

"I'll add another million on top of your base, giving you a two-million investment!"

Before Qin Churan could feel happy about it.

Glorious Era continued with a sly smile, "But I have one condition, and that's for you to be my girlfriend!"

Qin Churan frowned slightly.

She straightforwardly told Glorious Era, "Sorry, Master Hui, I can't agree to that because I already have a boyfriend!"

Glorious Era was unfazed.

He smiled lightly and said, "I heard, seems like a level 20-something Trickster?"

Glorious Era shook his head, full of disdain, "Miss Qin, even if your brother kicked you out, you don't have to settle for such a third-rate guy, right? What can he offer you?"

"My dad is a well-known figure in Shanghai, and our Li family has assets worth over a billion. We match well with your Qin family! You won't lose out by being with me!"

Qin Churan firmly stated her stance, "I can agree to anything but that condition."

Glorious Era snorted coldly, "Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Though she desperately needed the money, Qin Churan would never betray Lu Ming.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Without another word, Qin Churan turned and left.

However, Qin Churan's upright attitude infuriated Glorious Era.

"I've always gotten what I wanted since I was a kid!"

"Qin Churan, I've set my sights on you!"

With that, Glorious Era signaled to a lackey beside him.

The lackey understood immediately and opened the WeChat chat box to type...

On the other side.

As Qin Churan prepared to leave Bone Tower and pondered where to find another investor.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

A group of shadows suddenly emerged from the surrounding darkness!

"Hey beauty, all alone?"

"Want to play some games with us?"

The players' wolf-like eyes roamed shamelessly over Qin Churan.

At this moment, Glorious Era's mocking voice came from behind, "Miss Qin, if you need help, just say the word."

"Call me 'husband,' and I'll help you deal with them, how about that?"

Qin Churan's eyes turned cold, and she surveyed the surrounding players, all between levels 35-40, who didn't seem like good people.

Though they appeared unrelated to Glorious Era on the surface.

Qin Churan could tell at a glance that they were his people!

Ignoring Glorious Era, Qin Churan drew her sword silently, showing her stance and attitude.

Seeing this, Glorious Era's face darkened.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

"Qin Churan, you'd better not cry and beg me later!"

As he spoke.

The surrounding players, with wild smiles, advanced toward Qin Churan.

Qin Churan gripped her dagger tightly, ready to fight.

At this moment, a figure appeared in her line of sight, walking slowly.

Seeing the person, Qin Churan's frown relaxed, and she felt a surge of joy.

"This fool!"

"Didn't he say he wouldn't come?"

At this moment, the surrounding players noticed Qin Churan's expression and seemed to realize something.

Following her gaze, they noticed Lu Ming approaching slowly.

When they discovered he was just a level 25 Trickster.

The players, averaging levels 37-38, looked even more amused.

Glorious Era also snorted disdainfully, "You rejected me for this kid? Qin Churan, I really don't know what you're thinking."

At the front.

A level 38 black-robed Summoner, [Deva], eyed Lu Ming and sneered, "Kid, let us borrow your girlfriend for a night. If you don't want trouble, just..."

Swish!

Before Deva could finish, Lu Ming's right hand, resting on the sword hilt on his back, quietly drew the sword.

A sharp sword shadow flashed through Deva's body—
