It's All Your Fault for Scamming Me Out of 500 Bucks!

-

Jiang Li is a broke college student whose favorite pastime is playing the popular online game Flourishing Peaks.

With his deft and skillful play, he starts doing in-game boosting in his spare time to earn a little pocket money.

One time, after a miserable month of work, Jiang Li gets stiffed by a client and loses five hundred yuan.

The deadbeat disappears and stops logging in, but Jiang Li follows a trail of clues to find the client's main account: the top player on the server, “Duan Qianzhou.”

Looking at his flashy golden gear and his ranking on the wealth leaderboard, Jiang Li seethes:

You're loaded and still had to cheat me out of five hundred yuan? You've got some nerve!

Just you wait. I'll make you pay me back tenfold!

-

In a fit of anger, Jiang Li creates an alt account and goes after the server's top player, hoping to get a little something out of him.

To get his revenge, he plays innocent, acts pitiful, and clings to Duan Qianzhou's coattails. Before long, he manages to get on familiar terms with the aloof god-tier player.

But their relationship seems to be getting familiar in the wrong way...

The god-tier player not only gives him matching couple skins and all sorts of luxury gifts, but also splashes out a fortune to throw him a wedding of the century in-game...

To avoid developing an even more twisted and ambiguous relationship with his enemy, Jiang Li decisively makes his exit and gleefully reveals the truth. “Haha, fooled you, didn't I? I was playing you!”

But Duan Qianzhou's gifts add up to six figures, and Jiang Li is afraid he'll get arrested for online scamming. He decides to mail everything back.

The other man replies, “Don't mail them. I'll pick them up myself.”

A few seconds later, someone knocks on the dorm room door.

Jiang Li opens it to find the campus heartthrob from the dorm next door standing there.

Jiang Li: “What do you want?”

Campus heartthrob: “My wife told me to come collect the bride price.”

Jiang Li: “???”

Reading guide:

1. The person who stiffed Jiang Li out of five hundred yuan is not the gong. The shou has the wrong guy.

2. Set at a university. The gong and shou are classmates. The gong turns the straight shou gay, using his looks and money to win him over step by step. A fluffy, brainless sweet romance. Everything serves the romance.

3. Traditional keyboard MMORPG. You don't need to have played games to enjoy it.

4. Online scams are wrong. Don't follow the shou's example.

5. One-on-one, both are each other's first love, happy ending.
