Winter break update starts soon [Gentle, big-breasted, nurturing-player-top X money-making, fun-loving boss-bottom]
His boss suddenly gave him a plot of land.
The wandering boss Xing Luo, who had never had a dungeon of his own, was so excited he couldn't sleep for three days and nights.
I have a dungeon now, too!
Under the moonlight, Xing Luo grinned from ear to ear, right up until he opened his account and checked his savings.
He looked at the dungeon proposal, then counted the zeros in his account.
Great. He could afford half a bathroom.

So one night, the boss, crushed by poverty, disguised himself and crawled through a secret passage into a bustling world.
[Player lobby. Bosses, keep out.]
Xing Luo sneakily climbed over the warning sign, then went on a buying spree: potato chips, milk tea, and private photos of handsome players, which he resold to other bosses at a markup.
But it still wasn't enough. Not nearly enough. His savings could only buy the other half of the bathroom.
So Xing Luo took a reckless risk. He accepted a bounty and climbed through the window of Jiang Yanchen, the number-one player on the current leaderboard.
Then Jiang Yanchen pinned him to the bathroom floor on the spot.
Afraid to fight back in case the System noticed him, Xing Luo could only weep and wail for three days about how miserable his life was. He managed to melt Jiang Yanchen's heart, which hadn't been particularly firm to begin with.
Later, Xing Luo suddenly realized he didn't have to make money from bosses alone. Those players were all loaded, too. So he clung to Jiang Yanchen's leg and tagged along into dungeons, selling little items at exorbitant prices.

In a corner Jiang Yanchen couldn't see:
[Dungeon A: A player is driven to the edge of a cliff by a female ghost and is about to jump.
Xing Luo suddenly appears, holding a parachute. “Parachute opens at zero altitude. Players love it! Regular price is five gold coins, but today it's only 999!”
With the female ghost closing in, the player buys it through tears. Xing Luo quietly transfers 300 to the ghost.
A 70/30 split. He's making a killing!]
[Dungeon B: After an earthquake, the players crawl out from beneath the rubble, barely alive.
Xing Luo holds up a box of vials. “Premium healing potions, 10,000 each.”
Player: “Can you make it cheaper?”
Xing Luo → expressionless, spits up a mouthful of blood.
Player: “I'll buy it, I'll buy it! Please stop spitting up blood!”
Xing Luo: Heh. (Transfers 3,000 to the boss who caused the earthquake.)]
[Dungeon C: …]
Once he was done making money, Xing Luo transformed into Jiang Yanchen's devoted little fan and kept clinging to his leg.
*
Before long, Xing Luo was rolling in money. And when Jiang Yanchen suddenly started handing over his salary card, Xing Luo brought the completion date of his dungeon forward again and again.
Later, in a certain dungeon, Xing Luo was escorted by an NPC into an interrogation room. He was about to message his boss friend and pull some strings to get out when he realized there was no signal!
How could there be no signal? Xing Luo looked up and saw his own boss, handsome but heartless, sitting in the judge's seat and eyeing him sidelong. A group of bosses stood around him, quiet as mice.
“Boss…” Xing Luo began, then spotted the mountain of snacks piled on a table nearby.
Perfect. The witness, the stolen goods, the ringleader, and the accomplices were all right here.
“Boss, please go easy on me.” Xing Luo dropped to his knees in a smooth slide, embellishing his tale of pitiful poverty.
At last, just as he had nearly convinced the boss to let him off, the interrogation room suddenly shook violently.
Beyond the collapsing wall stood Jiang Yanchen, leading a group of players.
No! Don't come rescue me!
Jiang Yanchen shielded Xing Luo behind him. Xing Luo cautiously peered ahead.
Great. His boss's face was dark as a pot once again.
