### Chapter 120: This Will Be the Greatest Challenge
Finally, after five days of continuing chaos, the event wrapped up, and all the equipment was swept clean like a buffet table after a feeding frenzy.
In a way, this was a guaranteed return because the purple gear was right there, draining the pool ensured someone would pull it!
The entire card-drawing event had many venues. Besides Yuliya’s main venue, there were plenty of side locations in various shops.
But let me tell you, business at those side spots was as bleak as a rainy day. The items drawn barely hit the ten percent mark.
Sure, the average price for a draw at the event pool was 100 gold coins more than the standard pool, but come on—this was the event pool!
Who in their right mind would opt for the standard pool when the event pool was right there?
Most of the folks drawing cards were either the wealthy elite or a handful of d*e-hard fans, with a tiny fraction of them being both. The folks just wanting to snag some equipment? They were the ones camping out in the side shops.
By the way, “Fiery Conflict Across the Sky” ended up pulling three pieces of purple gear. And guess what? The last two were secretly swapped by Yuliya!
That sent Xu Xiaofeng into the stratosphere of excitement—another wave of gifts was on the way!
When the event concluded and the numbers were crunched, the total income soared over 45 million gold coins! After deducting costs, they raked in around 27 million in profit.
Splitting it three ways, Xu Xiaofeng pocketed nearly 19 million, while the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce got over 8 million.
Harry was grinning from ear to ear.
He thought making 3 million from selling a batch of gear was as big as it got, but this? This was like drawing a winning lottery ticket!
Miss Wind, you are my guiding star!
Harry had officially become Miss Wind’s devoted lackey.
Whatever Miss Wind said, he was off to do; as soon as she waved, everything was immediately delivered.
To be fair, Miss Wind had indeed handed Harry quite a fat profit.
Let’s not even get into how the idea and direction were her brainchild! She put in about 11-12 million, while Harry tossed in 5 million—making that a rough 7:3 split.
Moreover, Miss Wind added an avalanche of goodwill. To put it simply, every draw costing that extra 100 gold coins was essentially her investment.
Harry’s contributions were merely labor and logistics, worth maybe a few hundred gold coins at most. Come on, with all that extra expense, he barely cracked over 10,000.
Simply calculated based on investment, Miss Wind should get a bigger slice of the pie.
But she wasn’t one to nitpick; she had called it a 70-30 split from the get-go.
She treated that part of the profit as a fund to keep their cooperative friendship smoothly sailing. After all, there would be plenty of money-making opportunities ahead, and plenty of times she’d need to call on Harry.
And finally, it was Xu Xiaoyue’s turn to seize her moment.
Before Yuliya arrived, Xu Xiaoyue was already stirring the pot in the live room.
“Brothers! You better open your eyes wide today! I am going to capture my little sister!”
“Little Moon is so confident; looks like she’s got some ace up her sleeve.”
“Of course! I consulted my great sister! Guaranteed success! Just watch my moves!”
Yuliya watched as Xu Xiaoyue went on and on, her nose almost touching the sky with pride, and her expression darkened a shade.
This little pest was becoming unbearable—time to sell her off!
She couldn’t help but feel a sense of impending crisis kicking in.
As the holder of the Golden Eyes, which allowed her to see the trajectory of fate and cut through both past and future, her hunches rarely lacked a reason.
“This might be a problem…”
So, when the little loli encountered trouble, especially those wanting to kidnap her, what should she do?
The answer: find Uncle Hat!
So…
“Steven! Hang out with me today.”
“Sure, Miss.”
Though she didn’t realize Steven counted as Uncle Hat, finding someone reliable was never a bad idea.
And then…

Every time Xu Xiaoyue tried to sneak around Yuliya, a pair of piercing eyes zeroed in on her like they had a personal vendetta.
It felt like a prickling sensation down her back and a lump caught in her throat.
Most importantly, there was this inexplicable bloodline pressure looming over her.
It was as if someone with a guilty conscience was caught doing something wrong, and upon seeing the hat and badge, they naturally froze with terror and shivers.
Even though she hadn’t done anything… yet.
Xu Xiaoyue felt like crying but couldn’t figure out what was going on.
She had finally found the right way to chase her dreams, the first real chance to fulfill her wishes, so why was it all falling apart?
If Yuliya could hear her thoughts, she’d scoff and say:
“All you think about is yourself!”
“Have you even considered my feelings? I’m aiming high here!”
The live stream ended amidst a flurry of laughter in the comments.
Yep, the laughter in the comments had never really stopped.
Watching the little loli and the big uncle walk away, Xu Xiaoyue slid down the wall in despair.
Comments: Hahaha!
The streamer has disconnected.
“Wait, what the heck! What a humiliating end to the stream!”
“I think Little Moon really might have a hidden talent. But then the little sister predicted it and immediately called for backup.”
“Seriously, this is getting out of hand. It was only a duel between two, but now we’ve got a third party jumping in?”
“Well, Little Moon called for help first. You can’t exactly forbid the little sister from calling for backup either, can you?”
“Anyway, just enjoy the show; this is getting more and more interesting.”
Even after the streamer had logged off, the chatters continued their lively discussion.
After logging off, Xu Xiaoyue felt a bit down for a while but quickly perked up.
She remembered her ultimate ally hadn’t joined the fray yet.
“Bro! Help me! You really need to!”
“What’s up?”
“Don’t play dumb; you definitely caught the live stream! The little sister called for backup, and I can’t get through! Come tomorrow, and we absolutely have to take her down!”
Xu Xiaofeng: Am I supposed to sprout clones or something?!
She actually rummaged through her little bamboo basket, but despite the Golden Kingdom being as amazing as ever, she didn’t have any cloning spells.
Oh wait, there’s something called soul division, but she didn’t have the skill book, nor was she good at it.
“Sis, I really can’t manage this.”
“Ah, what’s inconvenient? It’s been so long; your popularity has already cooled down.”
“As long as I’m number one on the leaderboard, my popularity could never dip. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll defensive-cover that big guy tomorrow and make sure he doesn’t follow you!”
“Sounds good. But we need to meet first; it’s been ages. Let’s pick a place with no one around.”
Xu Xiaofeng sighed, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
This day was bound to come sooner or later.
Thinking about it, it had been over ten days since they entered the main city, and the sibling duo hadn’t formally met in-game—definitely not suitable!
“Alright, after your livestream tomorrow, I’ll let you know where to meet.”
“Deal! I can’t wait to catch a glimpse of the top-tier god of ‘Otherworld,’ the Wind God in all his glory!”
Xu Xiaoyue felt giddy. Sure, her brother’s looks in game should be pretty similar to real life, but the game’s filters are powerful—what if he turns into a handsome hunk instead?
Xu Xiaoyue was excited, while Xu Xiaofeng felt dread.
Although he had passed the Fat Wang test, the saying still stood: This little sis is clever, and she wasn’t about to be easily fooled like Fat Wang.
One step at a time; this was a matter they had to confront.
