As an NPC who issued quests in a game, Jiang Mu always thought his life would go on being a dull routine: drinking tea every day, scheming against players, fleecing them for huge rewards, then drinking more tea. Players who had outgrown the beginner phase would grind their teeth and grab him by the collar, and the cycle would continue.
Until one day, he was kidnapped in his own home.
Jiang Mu was a notorious profiteer in the game, with more than a dozen foolproof plans for dealing with kidnapping. Being abducted wasn't a big deal.
The real problem was that the game had suddenly mutated.
The peaceful, laid-back beginner village, where quests were so boring they amounted to finding things, milking cows, and helping old ladies cross the street, became a ruthless capitalist society overnight.
Forced into a new role, he became the bank president controlling most of the city's resources. His main duties were still issuing quests and selling information at exorbitant prices, except now people hated him even more.
Jiang Mu: "..."
Is it too late to quit?
It was obviously too late to quit, so he could only adapt.
But Jiang Mu adapted far too well. In just a few months, his portrait had become the most popular accessory in the firearms, knives, and throwing-star business.
Countless rebels were itching to use his skull as a whetstone, including quite a few old enemies he'd fleeced back when they were beginners.
With old and new grudges piling up, one night Jiang Mu was unsurprised to be kidnapped in his own home again.
And the kidnapper was the same one!
After being taught a lesson and then taught another, Jiang Mu suspected this guy had it in for him.
Bound hand and foot and shoved into a corner, Jiang Mu stayed perfectly calm and flashed a sincere-looking fake smile. "I think we can talk."
After watching him for a moment, Chi Yuqin slowly broke into a chilling smile. "Sure. How about we start with the time you sold me a suit for ten times its price, only for it to turn out to be an old suit you'd grabbed from your own closet?"
Jiang Mu: "..."
No wonder that champagne-colored shirt looked more and more familiar.
A hate magnet who owes too much money, gong x a shou who gradually becomes an all-rounder for the sake of kidnapping him
One-on-one, both are each other's first and only, strong couple
