Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 324 -324: Glory From Below (1)

[World] Summer Night’s Little Fire: Damn, I haven’t been online for just a few days, how is it that Yu Wuheng, the great god, is about to marry Qinghuan?

[World] Origin: Does the internet in your village even work?

[World] Summer Night’s Little Fire: Can someone catch me up on what’s going on? Didn’t I remember that Yu Wuheng’s official match was Chu Xi?

[World] The Melon-selling Granny: How do you not know about this, Qinghuan cuckolded Chu Xi.

[World] Summer Night’s Little Fire: Damn, that’s explosive?

[World] Sanyue Peach: Melon-seller, what nonsense are you spouting? The great god was never with Chu Xi. Qinghuan and the great god got together openly and honorably, plus Chu Xi is a guy, who first deceived the great god by pretending to be a lady.

[World] Summer Night’s Little Fire: A… a guy?

[World] Summer Night’s Little Fire: I want the juicy details!

[World] Origin: A couple of days ago someone suddenly exposed that Chu Xi is some foot-scratching big dude who tricked Yu Wuheng, the great god. There’s also a bunch of messy chat logs, all screenshots of Chu Xi flirting with other men.

[World] Origin: Go look it up yourself on the forum, the post is still there.

[World] The Melon-selling Granny: Yes, that’s right, your Qinghuan is as pure as ice and as clean as jade, never cuckolded Chu Xi. And of course, Qinghuan didn’t cling to the great god while Chu Xi was offline.

[World] Sanyue Apricot: Melon-seller, stop talking in that annoyingly sarcastic tone. Today is Qinghuan’s wedding day, and we’re not going to stoop to your level.

[World] Sanyue Peach: If Chu Xi wasn’t feeling guilty, why did he empty his account and leave? What kind of man pretends to be a woman, have you no shame! Disgusting!

[World] The Melon-selling Granny: Oh my, little rascal, I’m so scared.

[World] Top of Peerless Leaderboard: Chu Xi plays so well, it’s actually quite plausible that he’s a guy.

[World] Drip Drip Tock: Who is Chu Xi?

The bustling discussion in the world didn’t affect today’s protagonists—the soon-to-be-wed Yu Wuheng and Qinghuan.

Chuzheng was watching this lively wedding.

She was sitting outside a tavern under a different account, invisible to others, as the bridal sedan chair passed by her.

Chuzheng opened up her own profile.

She was wearing a beginner’s outfit, which completely mismatched her glowing level.

Her backpack was as empty as it could be, even more pitiable than a freshly created account.

She was the ‘Chu Xi’ being discussed all over the world.

The foot-scratching big dude playing a female character.

The drama queen who deceived Yu Wuheng, the great god.

–

The game the original owner played was called Unparalleled Storm, a keyboard-based game.

Unparalleled Storm was a hit even during its closed beta and went absolutely viral after its public release.

The original owner wasn’t much into gaming, but her friend dragged her into playing this one.

Her friend ditched her, but the original owner got hooked and even played quite well.

The original owner met Yu Wuheng in the game, initially just teaming up for quests and monster hunts.

Once Yu Wuheng accidentally slipped up, the original owner discovered they lived in the same residential area.

With that connection, they quickly met up offline.

After meeting, their relationship naturally grew stronger.

They played the game together, crafted equipment together…

Everyone who knew Yu Wuheng was aware that he had someone called Chu Xi around him.

Although they never made their relationship official, the intimacy suggested through Yu Wuheng’s words led Chu Xi to believe that Yu Wuheng liked her.

And she was unconditionally good to Yu Wuheng in return.

She truly liked Yu Wuheng.

Both in reality and in the game.

But Chu Xi had never expected that after she had to be away from the internet and entrusted her account to Yu Wuheng, she would return to find an utterly empty account.

Aside from her level, all her equipment was gone.

Limited-edition weapons, rare items, rare fashion pieces, rare pets…

All vanished.

What she didn’t expect was that the world was full of congratulations for Yu Wuheng and Sanyue Qinghuan.

They were married!

She had thought he would become her boyfriend, but not long after she left, he married someone else.

But that wasn’t all.

There were also forum posts about her.

They said she was a guy who flirted with men all over the internet just for gear and money.

However, she had no recollection of those chat records mentioned in the posts.

She didn’t even know she had those friends.

She went to Yu Wuheng, who would know best whether she was a guy or not.

Yet, Yu Wuheng avoided her questions.

When she asked why her account was emptied, Yu Wuheng said he didn’t know, claiming he never accessed her account and had no idea about the screenshots on the forums, and even suggested she might have offended someone and got her account hacked.

She asked him why he was with Sanyue Qinghuan.

Yu Wuheng replied that it was his freedom to be with anyone.

He had only flirted with her but never really been with her, leaving her speechless.

She went on the forums to explain she wasn’t a guy and that she didn’t know who had emptied her account, but she was unanimously attacked by Sanyue Qinghuan’s group of friends.

Finally, Yu Wuheng showed up to testify for her, confirming she wasn’t a guy.

But by then, it didn’t matter anymore.

All she had left was an empty account, which was pretty much useless.

Yu Wuheng’s attitude deeply hurt her.

She had no choice but to abandon that account. Without telling anyone, she registered a new one.

Everyone thought she had quit the game.

While leveling up her new character, she discovered that her rare costumes were being worn by Sanyue Qinghuan.

In a moment of impulse, she confronted Sanyue Qinghuan.

Sanyue Qinghuan claimed she had bought them from someone else but refused to reveal who.

Eventually, Yu Wuheng intervened, bringing someone with a trade record to prove it.

Sanyue Qinghuan, harboring no grudges, invited her to join their team and helped her level up.

But Sanyue Qinghuan wasn’t so kind-hearted; she deliberately made it look like she was getting close to Yu Wuheng.

As a result of Sanyue Qinghuan’s scheming, she faced various forms of ostracism.

Yet Sanyue Qinghuan acted as if she believed in her innocence and wasn’t the type to mind her closeness with Yu Wuheng, even though she was with him herself.

During a city war, although it was clearly Sanyue Qinghuan’s fault, the blame was pushed onto her.

In a private chat, Yu Wuheng asked her for a favor.

While she was heartbroken, she couldn’t refuse Yu Wuheng’s request.

It wasn’t long before the forums exploded with rumors of her seducing Yu Wuheng again.

Sanyue Qinghuan, playing the victim, accused her.

With Sanyue Qinghuan’s apparent kindness to her seen by everyone, she became hated as the third party.

With so many against her, she couldn’t defend herself alone.

They drove her to the brink of a nervous breakdown, and in the end, she died from electrocution after spilling water on her desk.

What a casual way to die, huh?

[Miss, you have to believe that when someone is unlucky, even drinking water can choke them.]

Chuzheng: “…”

Am I that unlucky person?

[Miss, you’re very lucky because you met me!]

Haha.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this damn place right now.
