[World] Absolute Kill: You girls really are terrible at games!

Before the world chat could erupt, Zhuo Weichen had already beaten the speaker into the ground three times.

She scoffed. "You're the one who's terrible. You can't even beat a woman!"

Later, the forums exploded.

"Number Two on the Assassin Rankings Is a Male Player Pretending to Be a Girl, Proof Inside"

"Yi Li Chen, stop acting so high and mighty. You know exactly how you got that ranking."

"Perennial Runner-Up [Yi Li Chen]"

Zhuo Weichen wasn't interested in the rumors, but "perennial runner-up" really got under her skin.

She opened the profile of the player who had always been just above her on the rankings and compared their builds, trying to figure out the difference.

Well, would you look at that! All she was missing was a dedicated healer to help her rank up!

After the international version of Fairy Inn finished its no-wipe beta, the domestic version launched.

Her friends all transferred back to the domestic server, but Zhuo Weichen kept staring at the Assassin Rankings, unable to make up her mind.

But on launch day, she registered a healer.

The little PvP fighter switched overnight into a PvE sweetheart, a healer everyone adored.

Her friends: ??? Please get on your main account!

Healers are a huge game design flaw: they have no attack skills at the start, so even completing quests is a pain.

After a little assassin stole her monsters for the third time, Zhuo Weichen completely lost it.

She was the first woman to reach number two in the global Assassin Rankings, and now an assassin below level ten was stealing her monsters?

There was no way she was going to put up with that!

Furious, she added the little assassin as a friend, then pulled her out of the shadows.

Looking utterly aggrieved, she said, "Stop stealing them! I've been at this all morning and haven't killed a single one!"

Su Tang stared at her in confusion. "Huh? I thought I was helping you kill them."

Zhuo Weichen: ...

Later, the game introduced a mentor-apprentice system.

Su Tang said happily, "Master, I sent you a request!"

Zhuo Weichen stared at the words "The other player wants to become your mentor" and clicked accept. "Sure thing, Master."

Su Tang: ???

As the players leveled up, all the game's features unlocked.

Zhuo Weichen, a little arena fighter, left Su Tang behind to rank up for three days, leaving the little assassin bored out of her mind.

She tugged on her big sister's sleeve and begged, "Big sis~ I want to try the arena too!"

Zhuo Weichen smiled. "Level up a healer account and come join me."

Su Tang: Huh???

The next day, Zhuo Weichen transferred her main assassin account, [Yi Li Chen], to Su Tang's server. She appeared before Su Tang's little healer account, shining with golden light.

Su Tang's voice trembled with excitement. "Y-y-y... you're my idol?"

Zhuo Weichen was very pleased. Smiling, she said, "Come on! Big sis will help you level up!"
