Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Fan’s team used a sun symbol as their emblem, an idea proposed by Xu Yuan. Since Sunflower was their team leader, they decided on a symbol that would complement the sunflower’s growth, making the sun an apt choice. Song Fan agreed with the rationale behind this choice.
Now, they all had a radiant sun symbol above their heads, creating a dazzling appearance. The opposing team greeted them, “Are you the ones looking to team up for a mission? Would you like to join us?”
“It’s okay. We can handle it on our own,” Song Fan declined.
In the game, the mission’s difficulty scaled with the number of participants. More players meant a more challenging mission, so Song Fan’s rejection was expected by the other team. They responded, “Alright then, you can start.”
At that moment, a female player from the opposing team suggested, “Since we’ve already met, why don’t we tackle the mission together and see who can complete it faster?”
Song Fan didn’t think much of this proposal. They were two teams who had just encountered each other, so there was no real reason for a competitive race. A member from the other team added, “Grassi, you should stop talking. If it weren’t for the captain inviting you, you wouldn’t even have the privilege to join our team based on your points.”
Grassi, standing next to their captain Eric, defended herself, saying, “I was just making a suggestion. Why is everyone targeting me?”
Eric heard Grassi’s words and quickly scolded his team members, “I told you guys to show some respect to Grassi, but you ignored it?”
In real life, Eric was the boss of a small company, not known for his friendly demeanor, but he enjoyed acting. After taking a liking to the game ‘Future City’, he coerced his employees into playing it as well. He selected those who excelled at the game and made them his followers, thinking that this would boost his image.
Because of this, his team members didn’t dare to argue with him. They reluctantly went along with whatever he said, as their livelihoods depended on their boss’s monthly paychecks.
Eric noticed that his team members had agreed with his statement, and he felt a surge of pride in front of the attractive woman. While he had numerous followers in the game, he had lacked the company of beautiful women. Grassi’s presence seemed to compensate for this shortcoming.
While he hadn’t met Grassi in person, they had voice calls while playing, and Grassi’s sweet voice had captivated him. She had also shared a photo of half her face, and based on that, he believed she was a beauty.
Consequently, Eric would include Grassi in their daily missions, striving to earn her favor. He paid no mind to his team members’ feelings, as they were all employees who couldn’t afford to voice their opinions.
His primary objective was to win Grassi’s heart. However, unbeknownst to Eric, Grassi, who appeared gentle and considerate during their phone calls, was thoroughly repulsed by him and came close to vomiting at the thought.
Song Yin glanced at the words on her phone and suppressed her disgust. If it weren’t for the points, she wouldn’t even consider talking to this lewd individual. Every word he typed seemed to have an underlying, obscene tone, and it was truly repulsive.
Song Yin had no genuine interest in playing games. She had only started playing ‘Future City’ because she wanted to redeem herself after a humiliating experience in class and prove her worth through her gaming skills.
However, following the recent events in the past couple of days, her classmates had grown even colder toward her. The only topic they discussed was the ‘Future City’ competition. She believed that if she could achieve a high ranking in the game, her classmates would once again admire and respect her.
To that end, she forced herself to find time to play the game every day.
Unfortunately, Song Yin wasn’t particularly talented at gaming, and despite her efforts, she had not accumulated many points. Her only option was to seek assistance and earn points by participating in team missions.
Every day, Song Yin would utter sweet words to gain the favor of her team members. It was a painstaking act, but she endured it, knowing that her classmates’ admiration was at stake.
Yet, when she saw Sunflower, her envy reached its peak. If she hadn’t revealed her gender so quickly, she wouldn’t have become the laughingstock of her classmates at school.
Moreover, since they were all female gamers, why was Sunflower able to lead her own team while she had to rely on that lecherous person? It was truly maddening.
Song Yin moved closer to the front of the team and remarked, “My suggestion was really nothing special. I doubt many would dare to agree with it. After all, the person capable of defeating Eric’s team has yet to be born.”
This was a blatant provocation, intended to bait the other team into a reaction. Xu Yuan was infuriated and typed a series of offensive comments into the chat box, but Xiao Lei quickly intervened and deleted them..
