The Top Player on the Server Wants Me to Date Him Online

[Keyboard MMORPG] [Cool, Wealthy Top x Skilled Bottom Who Doesn't Realize He's Being Courted]

Qiao Chen is a well-known skilled player across the server. But as a student, he can no longer keep up with the spending required to stay in the top tier of the overall power rankings, so he decisively chooses to quit the game.

Just as he's packing up his gear to sell his account, he unexpectedly receives a private message from the server's number-one whale.

Wufeng: Don't quit. I'll give you an account, ranked fourth overall.

Qiao Chen: The top disciple of the Bloodslaughter Sect?

Wufeng: You won't have to spend money on it. I'll put in 100,000 every month, and max out the spending limit separately for special events.

Qiao Chen: Are... are you okay?

Wufeng is as conspicuous with his money as he is low-key in person. He never lets strangers get close.

Qiao Chen has almost no connection with him, aside from occasionally being matched against him in the arena, so he's completely baffled when the account gets handed over to him.

But the account of the sect's top disciple is too tempting. Qiao Chen looks at the username and password Wufeng sent him, and his finger clicks log in before his brain can catch up.

The moment he sees the in-game ID, he finally remembers the gossip he'd heard.

Apparently, the original owner was Wufeng's in-game partner. After they quit, Wufeng bought the account and has been waiting for his lost love to return.

Qiao Chen: Why give it to me?

Wufeng: Join our guild. From now on, play with me.

Seeing the [Guild Leader's Wife] title on the account, Qiao Chen suddenly understands. Wufeng must be lonely playing by himself and wants to hire him as a personal gaming companion and pretend wife.

A personal, top-tier gaming companion with a million-yuan account, 100,000 in pocket money every month, and every event fully funded?

Who knew something this good existed! He has to be professional about it.

Qiao Chen hesitates for less than a second, then goes all in.

Qiao Chen: So should I call you hubby?

Wufeng: ?

Qiao Chen: I can do couple quests! I can take screenshots showing off our love! I can even use a voice changer! Do you like older-sister types or little-girl types?

From then on, Qiao Chen, convinced he's just earning a paycheck, spends his days as the whale's sidekick, shamelessly flaunting their relationship.

When he plays a male character, he's a PVP powerhouse admired across the server. When he plays a female character, somehow he becomes the server's goddess, too.

Then, at the live finals of the server-wide PVP tournament, he logs into the "server goddess" account himself. The audience erupts, calling him a shameless account pilot and demanding that he be disqualified. They almost throw their fan signs at his face.

As the crowd rages, Wufeng, seated beside Qiao Chen, stands up and clears things up in front of everyone there and all the players watching the livestream: "He's not an account pilot. He's my wife, and the original account owner."

Qiao Chen is horrified. "Wait, this job was online only! The offline service wasn't included!"
