At that time, William Turner had sworn confidently: It’s a trick, definitely a trick, there’s no way this account changed hands!

“Come on, look at what she said—whatever she digs up from the treasure map, she’ll give it to you. You’ve been grinding these quests for days just to get a treasure map, right?” William Turner said. “Even if she’s a female scammer, we’re not losing out this time!”

Henry Clark did indeed need a treasure map.

To be precise, what he needed was the rare material that could only be dug up with a treasure map: the Enchanted Spirit Pearl.

Unfortunately, after grinding so many quests, he’d only gotten a treasure map once—and Little Sweet Chris had snatched it away.

[Current] Little Sweet Chris: Brother, what you need is the Enchanted Spirit Pearl, right? I can dig it up! [fist]

[Current] 心向往之: ……

[Current] 路迢迢: Amazing, how did you know?!

[Current] Little Sweet Chris: I checked the system announcements these past few days. Brother, you’ve been grinding the reincarnation quests, so you must be trying to hatch a spirit beast?

Henry Clark didn’t say anything.

He was indeed working on the spirit beast hatching quest, and the final step required the Enchanted Spirit Pearl.

The Enchanted Spirit Pearl was a tradable item, but the only way to obtain it was through treasure maps, and the drop rate wasn’t high—at least for now, there wasn’t a single one in their server’s marketplace.

There are things in this world that money can’t buy.

Chris Brooks formed a party near them.

“Brother.” Chris Brooks pinched her voice and called out, the echo in her headset making her own head ache. “Want to dig up the treasure map together? If you don’t come, I’m afraid I’ll get killed again…”

Henry Clark didn’t necessarily want her to return the treasure map.

It’s just that if, as she said, she got hunted down by people from the Leisure Pavilion and lost the map, then all those days and nights he spent grinding quests would be for nothing.

He hesitated for a moment, left his party, and applied to join Little Sweet Chris’s team: “I’ll come.”

Digging up treasure maps was such an exciting thing that William Turner wanted to join in the fun too: “Hey girl, take me along too…”

Before he could finish, Little Sweet Chris had already run off with Henry Clark, out of his line of sight.

“Damn, is it so hard to coax a grown man? Would it kill you to get in my car for a second?” Chris Brooks stared at the people in the party, muttering under her breath.

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: God of War brother, what quest were you just doing?

[Party] 心向往之: Wild map dungeon.

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: Oh, oh.

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: Bringing three healers into a dungeon, isn’t it hard to kill things? 0.0

[Party] 心向往之: Not at all.

Heh, of course not. With three girls running dungeons with you, you must be grinning from ear to ear in front of your computer, you scumbag.

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: True, I totally forgot! Brother is super strong DPS! [heart-holding]

To watch them dig up the treasure map, William Turner reluctantly gave up his three “wife” reserves in the party, got out of bed, and sat down next to Henry Clark.

“Old Xiang, tell me, when did you and Little Sweet Chris meet? What did you do to make her so devoted to you?”

Henry Clark: “I really don’t know her. Would I get paid to lie to you?”

William Turner stared at him suspiciously.

Henry Clark: “…We met once in the wild. She stole my rogue.”

William Turner was shocked: “There’s actually someone who can steal your mob?”

“I was on the phone at the time, wasn’t paying attention.” Henry Clark hesitated, “And before that, I thought she was a guy.”

William Turner: “?”

Henry Clark looked at the little fox spirit in the party channel, constantly showering him with flattery: “What girl talks like that these days?”

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: God of War brother, your character’s face is so well made. How skillful and good-looking must your hands be to create such a game character! [starry eyes]

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: We’re almost at the treasure map coordinates, I’m so nervous.

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: [Anyone here?]

[Party] Little Sweet Chris: Sigh, brother is so handsome even when he’s not talking QvQ

William Turner snorted: “I think… she’s actually pretty cute?”

Henry Clark couldn’t be bothered to respond.

A friend message suddenly popped up. Henry Clark clicked it open absentmindedly.

[Friend] Fairy Grace: You’re actually in a party with that female scammer?

[Friend] Fairy Grace: Heh, getting desperate, huh?

[Friend] Fairy Grace: She just blew up my equipment, did you know that.

Henry Clark glanced at it and closed the chat window right away.

William Turner: “Hey, at least reply something.”

“No need, it’s a hassle.”

William Turner was puzzled: “Does she even know it wasn’t you on your account a few months ago?”

“She knows.”

He’d already told Fairy Grace everything he needed to.

But Fairy Grace just wouldn’t believe it, insisting he was just trying to shirk responsibility, and even exaggerated the story all over the place.

William Turner wanted to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang. He answered it, said a couple of words, and walked out of the dorm room.
