### Chapter 92: The Unstoppable Questing Saint Body
After class, it was time to head home and dive back into the game!
Xu Xiaofeng logged on, kicking off another day of her grand adventures!
First, it was her usual territory inspection—glancing around the marketplace, checking up on her little stall, surveying the lay of the land, and scoping out the players to see if any fresh faces had arrived.
But this time, she spotted some unusual happenings.
First off, the orders for Sunfruit at the marketplace had skyrocketed—multiplying by several folds—yet the number of players in the main city hadn’t substantially increased.
On top of that, many players seemed to be advertising for guild recruitment everywhere!
After a rummage through the forums, she gasped.
Turns out it was Sato with a few youngsters in their twenties—one at level 11 and the others at level 10. The Tower Gate was starting to recruit!
This recruiting frenzy was triggered by a wave of new players that flooded into the main city yesterday, prompting top guilds like Fiery Conflict Across the Sky to start snatching up recruits like hotcakes.
And just then, an announcement hit that Xu Xiaofeng had cleared the Hero Trial Tower.
Seeing this, players who were intrigued about joining a top guild must’ve thought, “What’s the point of joining these so-called big guilds if a lone wolf is already beating you to the top?”
In the world of Otherworld, where anything could happen, it didn’t seem so bad to blaze your own trail without being tied down by guild restrictions.
After all, wasn’t the top-ranked player a prime example of that?
In an instant, a surge of determination washed over them, fueled by the audacious spirit of “My fate is in my hands, not dictated by the heavens!”
Why join a big guild and face all those limitations? Why not just go out and make a name for myself?
This led to a rather dismal time for the recruitment drives of major guilds.
Until, that is, they saw the recruitment ad from Fiery Conflict Across the Sky.
Wait, what? Join and get a free Sunfruit?!
Oops, did I just shout too loud? Well, they truly are a genuine big guild with fantastic benefits!
You see, Sunfruit was already selling for over twenty gold coins among players!
As things stood, there were only three known sources: marketplace orders, the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister’s affinity shop, and Fiery Conflict Across the Sky.
The latter’s Sunfruit was the cheapest at five gold coins per piece; however, earning that affinity took time, and each player could snag only one.
Marketplace orders were already at eight gold coins per piece, but you had to wait for stock.
And as for Fiery Conflict Across the Sky? They claimed twenty gold coins a piece but hardly sold any!
Just look at that! Why’s everyone calling them little angels? The difference becomes clear at a glance when you compare!
There was one more source, though—wild harvesting! The cheapest option, as it didn’t cost a dime. Some lucky folks even managed to snag one.
But just look at the quality of what they harvest! Using that junk to break through would cost them many attributes!
A level 10 player without gear would have average base attributes around fifty across the board, plus five hundred health and mana, with variations based on their class.
Typically, breaking into Bronze Level would grant an additional twenty percent in attributes—so, ten points!
If they used a perfectly sold Sunfruit from the marketplace, they could snag another point on top of that!
But if they used those lackluster wild crops, they might even lose two or three points!
That would really be a net loss.
These were basic attributes! Whether it’s percentage boosts from gear or subsequent breakthroughs, everything references these baseline attributes.
So if you’re level 10 and behind the curve by three or four points in attributes, you’re looking at weakening by around six percent overall, which means massive future disparities!
Though gear was currently pretty shabby, most players were using green gear, while the poorer ones had to mix in some white gear. The wealthy ones might be decked out in blue gear, and even Fiery Conflict Across the Sky only had a couple of purple pieces mixed in.
Yet still, basic attributes held a promise for the future!
Once those breakthroughs hit, all the percentage boost systems, set bonuses, and drug effects would widen the gap to astronomical levels!
Thus, the outcome was that Fiery Conflict Across the Sky was flooded with recruits, while the other guilds faced a dismal recruitment scene.
Even the big guild was somewhat blindsided by how badly the others were faring.
While Xu Xiaofeng anticipated a successful recruitment drive, she couldn’t have predicted how dismal the others would be.
And that’s precisely why orders at the marketplace spiked!
They were mainly the orders from those other guilds.
But Xu Xiaofeng didn’t give a hoot about how other guilds were faring; she cared only about how much she could earn.
If all went according to her original plan, she feared that she’d end up with no recruits since everyone would flock to Fiery Conflict Across the Sky. If those other guilds floundered, wouldn’t her orders just disappear?
No way!
She couldn’t let that little punk get too comfortable; she needed to apply some pressure. Only with competition could there be motivation, and with motivation come orders!
So, she decided to ship out tomorrow. Just one more day for that little guy to level up.
With her plans laid out, she headed to her stall to wait.
Next up was her scheduled live-stream time with Xu Xiaoyue.
Not long after, Xu Xiaoyue arrived, ready to put on a show and earn some cash.
While live-streaming, she didn’t waste a moment and went straight into questing.
After all, everyone knew she was an adventurer, so no need to hold back. Plus, viewers couldn’t see quest rewards, and players wouldn’t care about what NPCs got for completing missions.
While running quests, she also introduced NPCs to Xu Xiaoyue, casually helping her snag some missions.
This way, Xu Xiaoyue’s leveling went smoothly and even exceeded her own questing efficiency.
What a lazy little sister! I have to do everything for her—so tall and yet useless! So unacceptable!
And then the chat exploded with confusion.
“Why are the NPCs you guys encounter different from mine? Same person, but it’s like they’re different!”
“Right? I did that quest, and the NPC was impatient as heck, fierce as a mother tiger! How come you guys got a gentle big sister?”
“What about the one I just passed? Last time, they nearly kicked me out, and now they’re smiling?”
Xu Xiaofeng tilted her head upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue relay these questions. “No way! These uncles, aunts, big brothers, and big sisters are all super nice!”
Instantly, the chat fell silent.
They realized an important truth—different people had different charm levels.
Some folks were just born with the friendliness gene!
“What a gift! It’d be a waste to only quest around. We should tie her up with a rope; if she stops running, whip her into shape!”
“I’ll form a team and follow the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister on quests. Add me for private messaging!”
“Count me in!”
“Me too!”
“I want to stalk the Little Loli; I like her!”
“Uh-oh! That sounds illegal—at least three years for that sort of thing!”
Xu Xiaoyue didn’t dare read those messages aloud, so she had to bite her tongue and pretend nothing was amiss.
But she didn’t report it, that didn’t mean Xu Xiaofeng couldn’t see it.
Oh boy, that ID—“Not Controlling Lolis, Not Human”—better not cross my path!
With such a good ID, it’d be a shame for it to go to waste! Just gotta strip them of their socks, stuff them in their mouth, and tie them up in the town square for everyone to spit on as they walk past!
