In the living room, you could hear a pin drop.

A trace of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.

"Are... are you serious?"

Ziyi was the first one to speak. If what Guan Ren had said was the truth, she might really start to see him in a new light.

"It seems to be true."

Liang Jing, who normally spoke little, suddenly said, "Moreover... if I'm not guessing wrongly, the game ID of Guan Ren we see before us should be 【Officer Guan】, right?"

"What!?"

Everyone was stunned by her words, looking at Guan Ren incredulously.

"I had seen before I logged off, there are less than ten players in the Kyushu area who have reached level 8, and one of them has the ID 【Officer Guan】!"

Liang Jing analyzed, "And his name is Guan Ren. If he isn't lying, then that ID is the only one that fits his identity. So, I guess he isn't lying and he is indeed the player currently making waves on the forums—Officer Guan!"

"Is... is what the second sister said correct?"

"Yes, her analysis is spot on. I am indeed Officer Guan," Guan Ren affirmed directly, his gaze turning to Liang Jing, "I did not expect you to guess my identity just from a sentence. Impressive!"

"To stand out from a billion players is truly impressive," Liang Jing said gravely. "But this is good for our studio's discovery. Don't you think so, Xue'er?"

Lin Ruo Xue nodded, still somewhat disbelieving that Guan Ren was actually the highly praised Officer Guan in the gaming forums!

This seemed like something out of a dream in the game world.

Could it be... he is the nobleman sent by the heavens to help me through this difficulty?

From the night of the critical moment when he stood up to now joining the studio to become a rarity in Heaven's Arrival.

Could all this be destined by the heavens?

"Xue'er?"

Seeing Lin Ruo Xue in a daze, Ziyi showed a rare smile: "I take back what I said before. This time, you might really be able to do it!"

"Absolutely."

Liang Jing nodded.

"Go, Sister Xue'er!"

Qin Feifei cheerfully encouraged Lin Ruo Xue.

"Thank you, everyone!"

Lin Ruo Xue's eyes brimmed with tears, her face full of gratitude.

Without the help of these sisters, it might have been challenging to persevere alone, right?

"What... exactly is going on?"

Guan Ren was rather confused, unable to understand what these people were talking about.

"It's like this, Xue'er's father betrothed her to Xiang Dong, but Xue'er disagreed and ran away from home. Then, one night, she almost got into trouble, which you already know."

Ziyi explained solemnly, "That's not all; her family also froze her bank cards before, hoping she would give in and come back willingly. But with us sisters around, how could we possibly let Xue'er be wronged? So, we've decided to gather together and form a studio to venture into Heaven's Arrival, carving out achievements. That way, when we have the capital, we naturally won't need to be constrained by others!"

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"So that's it..."

Guan Ren had an epiphany. He had interacted with Lin Ruo Xue in his past life as well, and she was entirely different from now. Moreover, he didn't see her current sisters back then.

Considering Lin Ruo Xue's deep hatred for Xiang Dong, Guan Ren could guess some of the truths, but that was merely speculation; the actual details remained unclear to him.

"Does this mean... I'm now the top fighter for our studio?"

Guan Ren asked with a slight raise of his eyebrow.

"Right, with your current popularity and strength, as long as our studio operates wisely, it will quickly get on the right track, eventually helping Xue'er fulfill her wish!"

Ziyi nodded.

"Okay, but don't skimp on my salary."

"Don't worry, the studio will give you a 10% commission!" Liang Jing said.

"Such a high percentage!?"

Ziyi frowned at the news.

"10% is not high, considering his current value, others might even offer 20%!" Liang Jing pushed her glasses up and stated.

"Then let's set it at 20%," Guan Ren suggested with a smirk.

"You're taking advantage of the situation!" Qin Feifei expressed her displeasure.

Liang Jing's expression darkened slightly, rare frustration appearing on her face. If not for her unnecessary comment, Guan Ren wouldn't have caught them in a bind.

But now…

"We each have our needs, to be honest, I'm also in dire need of money."

Guan Ren sighed. Honestly, earning a billion Sea-Blue Coins in three months was challenging, but with the studio's operation, it was a different story. This way, it was a win-win situation for both, earning even more money!

For himself, aside from selling equipment and items, he could also get a share of the studio's profits.

For the studio, they could use him to expand their fame and manage the guild and various in-game industries, presenting vast business potential.

Although a 20% commission seemed much, it was a win-win deal for both parties.

"Let me say something."

Lin Ruo Xue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

While a 20% share may seem generous, for both parties involved, it is a surefire profitable deal.

"Let me say something."

Lin Ruo Xue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. Everyone turned their attention towards her, waiting for her to speak.

"For me, if it hadn't been for Guan Ren showing up that night, I might have been dead. And for our studio, getting our name out there in the early stages of the game without Guan Ren would have been nearly impossible!"

Lin Ruo Xue stated solemnly, "Thus, whether it be for me personally or for our studio, Guan Ren is a savior! Moreover, he just mentioned he is in dire need of money, so... I've decided to give him a 50% share, hoping my sisters can understand."

With those words, the living room fell silent once again, everyone plunged into contemplation.

Guan Ren was deeply moved. He hadn't expected Lin Ruo Xue to make such a significant sacrifice.

As for Ziyi and the others, their expressions were mixed. Naturally, they hoped their sister could benefit more, especially knowing the formidable forces behind Lin Ruo Xue's arranged marriage.

But since she herself had said so, as her sisters, they could only support her.

"I agree, but it's only profit sharing. To avoid any surprises, the studio's share distribution can only give him up to 20%. That's our final offer," Liang Jing said, pushing her glasses up.

After all, they had to ensure the ownership of the studio remains with Lin Ruo Xue.

Otherwise, if something unexpected were to happen in the future, all their hard work could be for naught. This was a preventive measure.

"That's fine, I only need the money," Guan Ren nodded, genuinely thanking Lin Ruo Xue.

"Miss Xue, thank you for being willing to help me."

"Just call me Ruo Xue. This matter is about mutual assistance; you don't need to thank me."

Lin Ruo Xue said with a soft smile, "Right?"

"Yes," Guan Ren replied with a slight smile. "Rest assured, I'll help you, Ruo Xue."

"Mm."

…

Upon logging in again, Guan Ren added all the studio's characters as friends and was added to a chat group.

[Light Crimson Feifei] (Qin Feifei) exclaimed, "Wow, it's really Officer Guan!"

[Cool Breeze of the Early Night] (Liang Jing) chimed in with a simple, "Hmm."

[Melody of Purple Clouds] (Ziyi) added, "Everyone, let's push to hit level 10!"

[Fluttering Snow] (Lin Ruo Xue) encouraged, "Keep it up, everyone!"

[Delicate Luoyun] (Guan Xiao Yun) simply said, "Okay."

[Officer Guan] (Guan Ren) commented, "...your names, they all have such poetic imagery."

Guan Ren glanced at his somewhat out-of-place game ID, frowning.

Fluttering Snow rallied, "Let's level up quickly. We can't afford to fall behind right from the start! If there's anything you need help with, just ask. We'll figure it out together."

Light Crimson Feifei lamented, "I'm almost out of money for potions... Can someone help?"

Melody of Purple Clouds responded, "I'm also running low, only one gold coin left, or I'd share some with you."

Cool Breeze of the Early Night admitted, "I don’t have any."

Fluttering Snow sighed, "The early stage is too challenging. Gold is scarce, and our studio's initial capital doesn't allow us to buy gold in bulk. How about this, I'll go round up some gold coins and distribute them among us."

Guan Ren frowned slightly, saying, "No need, I have some gold coins here. Let me send you a red packet."

Guan Ren took out twenty gold coins, chose the lucky red packet, and clicked the send button.

Light Crimson Feifei gleefully said, "Guan Ren, you're amazing! Sister loves you! Watch me draw the luckiest one!"

However, three seconds later, Light Crimson Feifei was back in the chat: "What's up with this red packet? I only got a handful of silver coins. Was it just one gold coin? You miser... Humph!"
