Chapter 73: Why Can’t She Just Be the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister?
Xu Xiaofeng had no idea that those guys were targeting her, and even if she did, she would just laugh it off.
This was all to be expected. By putting the high-level players in their place, it was like smacking them right in the face. It would be weird if they didn’t retaliate.
But seriously, what are you going to do about it? You can’t even find me, can you?
Even if you do, I can just run off at a moment’s notice, or even sneak off with a different identity. Let’s see if you dare to mess with your “Nuclear Bomb Little Sister” then!
Anyway, she was feeling great today—so happy that she almost floated out of Elia’s house.
It was a bit surprising that Elia, the dignified imperial princess, had her favorability ratings explode so easily, but the system’s prompt on favorability was out, and it was 100% trustworthy.
Who knows, maybe I really am a human magnet that everyone loves!
Ah, this d*mn charm of mine, where do I put it?
After that, nothing significant happened. She decided to go do some quests herself and glanced back at Steven following her.
“Speaking of which, since Sister Elia knows Steven, he must have some status and reputation, right?”
“Actually, not really. Her Highness knows me because she needs to be familiar with various people, but very few in Emerald City actually know me.”
After all, he was an important member of the Dark Moon Knight Order, and most of their activities were conducted in secret, with tight identity privacy measures. Unless you were part of the order or a high-ranking royal, not many people would recognize him.
Of course, he wasn’t going to explain all this to Xu Xiaofeng.
“Oh, is that so…? I was hoping you could take me around the inner city area, but that’s fine. Sigh, Steven, you’re really not that useful.”
“I…”
Steven had grievances he couldn’t express and could only swallow it all down.
It seemed this unhelpful image would be permanently stamped on him.
He gritted his teeth and replied, “What the lady says is true; after all, I’m just here to be a decoy.”
It kind of was.
“It’s okay, Steven. At least… you’re great at being a decoy.”
Xu Xiaofeng had completely dropped the formalities when addressing Steven by now.
She originally thought that since Steven had some influence among the nobility, he could take her around the inner city and pick up some noble quests.
The rewards for noble quests in the inner city were much more generous than those from the common merchants in the outer city. Just look at Sister Elia; she was showing off her riches right away!
Now, she had to give up on that plan.
If Steven knew what Xu Xiaofeng was thinking, he would definitely be thinking of taking her for a stroll in the knight order’s dungeon.
Here, if you want anything, just say so. No noble would dare shake their head.
Of course, that was just a thought; that place wasn’t meant for children.
That day passed with Xu Xiaofeng grinding quests.
By the next day, the forum situation had fermented into a complete framework.
The forum had directly divided itself into three sections: the dominant Nuclear Bomb Little Sister section, the player leaderboard section filled with hostility, and the boring gossip section.
In the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister section, there was a long-term pinned post—a real-time update on the daily quest statistics of the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister.
Simply put, it was a tally of how many gold coins each wave of the Bandit Group snatched from players.
While this post wasn’t 100% accurate, it did give players wanting to take on quests a reference range.
For instance, in yesterday’s fifth wave of missions, the known lowest price was 4,300 gold coins, and the highest went up to 7,500.
Sure, there might be a lucky few who scored missions at 3,000 gold coins or didn’t even get picked at 7,000, but that didn’t change the conclusion: if you bring 5,000 gold coins into the dungeon, you could complete quests within two to three waves.
Thanks to this post, a lot of wealthy players followed the suggestions, and sure enough, they quickly completed their quests.
As for those who weren’t as rich or were reluctant to spend, they could just wait to pick up the scraps. Maybe this wave, they could even be picked up for 2,000 gold coins?
But how many waves would you have to wait for? How long? That’s left to fate.
The poster thoughtfully used a linear statistical graph to visually display the rough situation of each wave, allowing players to reference the previous wave and check how things were during that time frame the day before.
Watching the linear graph skyrocketing, with the highest price effortlessly surpassing ten thousand gold coins, and the lowest also exceeding five thousand by several degrees, one wouldn’t be surprised if they thought it was the stock market booming; those in the know would say this was even more thrilling than stocks!
Xu Xiaofeng marveled at this series of operations and couldn’t help but be amazed by the players.
Truly the most creative crowd, turning everything into a structured system!
However, she was just enjoying it for fun; what she cared about more was the player leaderboard section.
From there, she saw that today, a massive influx of players was heading to the main city—these were what one would call the first-tier players, at least numbering in the millions.
This was excluding certain wealthy individuals and the bizarre 66th Beginner’s Village, the crème de la crème of players.
The main city was about to get truly lively…
Hmm, time to harvest a fresh batch of leeks.
Xu Xiaofeng thought long and hard, then decided to let the two NPCs she’d appointed to help her handle the booth take care of the quest distribution.
She’d just have to pay them a bit more; after all, the so-called quest distribution was just holding up a sign and responding if someone asked.
She wouldn’t go there herself; she was too busy.
So, the players coming to the main city today were in for a treat.
Many had only seen the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister through live streams and forum pictures before, but just seeing her behind a screen had made their hearts race.
Cute things always make people lose control, itching to sniff out their scent and take a sip of the white…
Cough, cough, Uncle Hat, let me explain, I meant the scent of nuclear bombs and their shells. You know me; I’m just a pure military enthusiast, really I am!
Thinking that today they could see the real deal, each of them was as clean as could be, weapons creating sparks when they got to the last dash of their experience bar.
Hearing the level-up notification sound, everyone raced towards the Teleportation Array, and once they arrived at the main city, they rushed straight towards the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister’s booth.
Then, they saw… the Nuclear Bomb Big Brother!
He shouted with a loud voice, “Those wanting to take quests, get in line! One at a time, don’t push! Anyone causing trouble gets a taste of my big foot!”
The players looked at the rugged face of the big guy, with his thickly haired calves, and caught the faint smell of sweat in the air and couldn’t help but cover their mouths in dismay.
No… where’s my Nuclear Bomb Little Sister? The tiny, cute Nuclear Bomb Little Sister!
I’ve prepared our greetings, and you let me see this instead?
