Repaying Kindness with a Hug

After the beta launch of the country's first full-dive MMORPG, renowned expert Su Mo happened to pass by the newbie village and casually rescued a beginner who was nearly starving to death. It was just a small favor, and she expected nothing in return, but the newbie wanted to repay her by offering herself to Su Mo. No need. Really, no need. This attempt to cling to a powerful player was so clumsy, she couldn't bear to call it out. But not long after Su Mo made it clear she wouldn't take on newbies, she suddenly realized that this newbie was a hidden gem among beginners. She moved with effortless grace in a fight and could scale walls and leap rooftops while fleeing. Most importantly, her personality was even better than her skills, and she was exactly Su Mo's type. Su Mo, who refused to take on newbies but couldn't resist: "I'm repaying you, see? Repaying you means giving my benefactor a hug." Gu Tingyun, who didn't understand a thing: "???"

Weibo: @Xiao Liao Wo Ru Ci Shan Lang Cut here The next MMORPG story in the same series, I Just Want to Date Money, is open for preorders. Xia Yue, renowned in Hongzhou City as the expert "Pillow Stone, Rinse Mouth with Stream," had two kinds of players she despised above all others. First, scumbags who had a little money or fame and went around hitting on women, changing partners as often as they changed clothes. Second, opportunists who jumped at any chance to cozy up to those scumbags. Shallow. Unbelievably shallow. One day, a gorgeous little beauty with a fantastic figure clung to her leg, despite being so bad at the game she couldn't land a skill even at point-blank range. Lan Xu: "Big sis, I can't do anything. Please take me along." Xia Yue: "I've got things to do." Pretty, sure, but I'm not the kind of person who gives in to good looks. That night, Lan Xu dumped a sack of gold in front of Xia Yue. Lan Xu: "Big sis, I can't do anything. Please take me along." Xia Yue: "???" What kind of person does she take me for? Later, everyone in Hongzhou City said that Pillow Stone, Rinse Mouth with Stream was inseparable from the city's richest woman. Hongzhou City players: "Didn't Pillow Stone, Rinse Mouth with Stream always act so superior and look down on people who bend for money?" Xia Yue: "I didn't want to agree either, but Lan Xu was offering way too much..." Is it really so wrong to take someone through a story quest for a thousand gold? Is it really so wrong to help someone level up in exchange for a top-tier weapon? Is it really so wrong to take on a disciple to make the game even more fun? So what if she's a renowned expert? Aren't we all just working stiffs who make a living and fund our accounts with our own skills? Best friend: "I get all that, but how are you going to explain moving into the rich girl's house?" Xia Yue: "She's beautiful and rich. Is it really so wrong to want a relationship with her that's both physical and heartfelt?" Best friend: "Shallow. Unbelievably shallow!" Xia Yue: "You're right. I'm shallow. Unbelievably shallow." I just want to date money. What's wrong with that?
