Another… S-rank again, it seems her approach was correct.
Mu Anqi looked at the evaluation. The Underworld's demon kings? That little bug really is some kind of surveillance device. Judging from the rating, those demon kings are quite satisfied with what she did. But if those demon kings oppose the actions of those demons, why don't they just outright forbid them?
Mu Anqi paused for a moment, then thought about how each of those demons is like a lunatic, with a mindset completely different from normal people. An outright ban… they might even think they are walking the lonely path of truth, sacrificing themselves for art.
Sighing, Mu Anqi didn't think further. After all, these matters aren't something a mere small player like her can control.
Player: Mu Anqi
Age at Death: 20
Ability: I Have Plenty of Money
Points: 3106.6
Transaction Serial Number: 64805368
Guansi: 12587
Looking at her points and Guansi balance, Mu Anqi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Most of the Guansi had been transferred from the giant lizard card, though that giant lizard didn't have much Guansi saved either. Mu Anqi had thought it would have hundreds of millions of Guansi. As for points exceeding 3000…
Mu Anqi was extremely excited. Even after taking a shower, she couldn't calm down. This was her second S-rank!
Once the excitement passed, Mu Anqi began to worry. She had already gotten two S-ranks—would the next game be more difficult? For example, facing ghosts or fairies like Xia Fenghua in the barrier-breaking phase? Xia Fenghua's abilities…
Mu Anqi thought of Xia Fenghua being forced into a "take-off" position and relaxed again. As long as she could keep her steady, it wouldn't be a problem. The only issue would probably be that the bullet effects would be somewhat weakened…
Hmm, not a big deal. If the quality drops, then just make up for it with quantity.
Mu Anqi opened her friends list and saw that Wu Sansheng had replied.
[Wu Sansheng]: Underworld faction.
[Wu Sansheng]: A white fox demon king recruited me.
[Wu Sansheng]: How about your side?
Mu Anqi stared blankly at Wu Sansheng's message. Wh-White fox spirit? Fluffy! And in humanoid form, they'd definitely be handsome men and beautiful women, right?
[Mu Anqi]: I'm with Taiyin, allied with a ghost general.
[Mu Anqi]: Seems like our factions are different. Not sure if we'll have a chance to play together.
Mu Anqi sighed, wondering when Zhao Guogu had caught the eye of the Shattered Mirror elite. This girl's abilities were clearly well-suited to being a mascot, why didn't the ghosts have an eye for talent? Mu Anqi scrolled through the group chat. They had actually talked quite a bit; Si Suying could even exchange a few words with Chu Zhongfei or Wu Sansheng in the chat without any awkwardness.
Just as Mu Anqi was about to draw skills, the group chat suddenly became lively again.
[Zhao Guogu]: @Mu Anqi I didn't use a team-up card this time, but I actually ran into @Si Suying in the game! Can you believe it?
[Si Suying]:- ...
Mu Anqi had a "subway, old person, looking at phone" moment. She thought, what's so unbelievable about that? Isn't it normal for an EU-style luck player to get what they want? Wait a minute. What does this imply? It means Zhao Guogu desperately wanted to team up with Si Suying, never even thinking about her.
[Mu Anqi]: Congratulations to the lucky one. (smile.jpg)
[Zhao Guogu]:- ...
[Zhao Guogu]: Lucky, so lucky. Hehe.
Mu Anqi glanced at her friends list and noticed that the last digits of Zhao Guogu and Si Suying's IDs were actually the same! What does this mean? After returning to the Nirvana Space, they were in the same "channel"!
[Mu Anqi]: Why have I never been in the same channel as you? @Zhao Guogu
[Zhao Guogu]: I don't know either, it's not something I can decide! Just lucky… As for you, maybe… you're just too unlucky?
[Mu Anqi]:- Goodbye.
That Zhao Guogu! Didn't she say she wasn't interested in cold beauties at first? Yet the moment she saw someone with cat ears and a cat tail, her attitude completely flipped! Sure enough, the camaraderie she shared with Zhao Guogu in battle was nothing compared to the presence of cats.
Before Mu Anqi could sink into a "sad" mood, she saw a message from Si Suying in the group.
[Si Suying]: #Ordinary Craftsmanship Hand grenade# @Mu Anqi 3 points each.
This… Si Suying's crafting had been upgraded? Had she drawn a new crafting blueprint or a skill upgrade coupon? Mu Anqi didn't have time to think further, quickly sent "I'll trade!" and then opened the trade window, inputting Si Suying's transaction serial number, and paid 60 points in one go.
Before long, Si Suying initiated a trade request, sending over 20 Ordinary Craftsmanship Hands grenade and 10 Rough Craftsmanship Hands grenade. As for the rough ones, Si Suying said they were a gift. Mu Anqi immediately gave the cat full 360-degree praise in the group chat, then @mentioned Zhao Guogu.
[Mu Anqi]: @Zhao Guogu Use your European luck advantage and let the cat draw some new crafting blueprints!
[Zhao Guogu]: Thanks for the invite, I'm trying my best.
Ending the group chat, European luck like that couldn't be envied. Now, she no longer held any fleeting illusions—she simply activated her ability as a routine and began drawing skills calmly.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the skill: Windfall Fortune]
[Windfall Fortune]: When you point to the sky and shout "Money, come!", a giant ingot will fall at a designated location! (Note: 1. The ingot will automatically disappear after 10 minutes. 2. This skill can be used up to 5 times per day, refreshing at midnight. 3. A maximum of 3 ingots can exist simultaneously.)
Even though she had drawn an offensive skill, the [Windfall Giant Ingot] she had once mentioned, for some reason, Mu Anqi felt no joy at all—she only thought this skill was filled with sheer mischief.
Why, why does a skill have such a precondition?! Point to the sky and shout "Money, come!"? Doesn't she care about her dignity at all! In the Black Mirror vortex it's fine, but in the Shattered Mirror Continent game, if other players saw this, they'd laugh her to death! Absolutely would be laughed at!
At that moment, Mu Anqi suddenly understood why Si Suying was so reluctant to activate her skills in front of others. That necessary precondition of turning into a cat and letting out a "meow~" completely clashes with the idea of pointing to the sky and shouting "Money, come"…
No, Mu Anqi felt she was just too uncultured. Both silly and tacky!
Mu Anqi looked at her room, hesitating for a long time, and ultimately didn't dare try it in such a small space. The exact size of the ingot wasn't detailed; if it crushed the bed, it would be an extra expense.
Sighing, Mu Anqi organized her backpack and continued shopping. This time, she had consumed a lot of demon bullets and only had 48 left. Well, she'd buy ten more sets… no, make it twenty sets. Mu Anqi planned accordingly, went to the weapons shop, bought 20 sets of demon bullets, 10 sets of ghost bullets, and 5 sets of ordinary bullets. With the 20% discount, it came to exactly 500 points—perfectly rounded.
The substitute paper doll hadn't been used yet, so there was no need to replenish it. Mu Anqi looked at the variety of weapons and considered buying something for self-defense, but didn't have a clear idea. After browsing the weapon racks for a long time, she ended up buying a small dagger priced at 300 points, discounted to 240 points with the VIP offer. This dagger was the plain little dagger that had startled her with its price when she first entered the weapon shop. The item had no fancy special abilities, only the traits "Sharp" and "Durable."
After going through the Animal Village world, Mu Anqi felt it necessary to have a tool capable of cutting ropes or similar restraints. The candy cane could, of course, be used as a weapon, but sticks always had some shortcomings. Mu Anqi also considered buying an electric chainsaw, but it was far too big and heavy, and the miniature version was too expensive. After some hesitation, she decided not to get it.
After finishing shopping, Mu Anqi spent 10 hours at the training ground learning dagger techniques.
By the time everything was done, she had a full meal at the grocery store and returned to her room; her points had dropped to 2022.6. It could be said that if you wanted to spend points, it wasn't difficult to spend them all in a single day, no matter how many you had.
Mu Anqi also noticed that the virtual teachers at the training ground didn't seem designed for players to immerse themselves in continuous learning or practice. The virtual teachers would teach methods and techniques, and after spending an hour or two mastering them, you could practice privately. Once your proficiency reached a certain level, you could purchase one or two hours of intermediate-level teacher courses to seek a breakthrough.
"No wonder spending points is so expensive…" Mu Anqi sighed, finally understanding. However, under the 1-on-1 guidance of virtual teachers, proficiency improved much faster than practicing alone, and any mistakes would be immediately corrected. The speed of skill mastery was extraordinary. Therefore, even though Mu Anqi knew the correct way to use the training ground, she still preferred to spend points practicing skills with the beginner teachers.
As for intermediate or advanced teachers… that would wait until she hit a bottleneck, then she could spend one or two hours seeking a breakthrough. Even a "rich woman" couldn't handle that level of expenditure at the moment.
It would be nice to draw some assassin-type skills or those flashy moves from netizens. Mu Anqi looked at her skill list and couldn't help thinking this, but whenever she indulged in such fantasies, the bold name of her ability—"I've got plenty of money"—mercilessly shattered them. Her overall ability name determined the direction of her skill draws, so…
Even if she sacrificed Zhao Guogu, she couldn't stray from the rich woman pool to draw skills from another pool.
Mu Anqi sighed, flipping the small dagger between her fingers. Controlling it, she performed a dagger flourish using the techniques she had learned from the virtual teacher today. The cold blade danced at her fingertips, but her thoughts couldn't help drifting to the scene when she had seen General Ji play with a small knife. Her decision to buy the dagger wasn't just because it was easy to carry and hide—it was also partly influenced by her attraction to Ji Huaichu.
Mu Anqi stared steadily at the dagger dancing on her fingertips and couldn't help thinking:
Maybe… General Ji could be a free advanced teacher?
The general… would probably agree, right?
