Chapter 1338: Chapter 1335: Wishing Them Love to Their Old Age
"I won’t leave the Imperial City. I grew up in the orphanage; this is my home." Chloe Winston looked up, gazing at the glamorous Aurora Coldwell, and said coldly, "Since you’re getting married, what are you afraid of? I wish you a long-lasting marriage."
Six months ago, Aurora came to her, reuniting as sisters and mentioning how she gave her a jade pendant when they were young.
She vaguely remembered that when she was little, there was an older sister who was very nice to her at the orphanage. After checking with the head of the orphanage, she confirmed Aurora’s identity and thus reunited as sisters.
She eagerly introduced Aurora to Constantine Stewart, and what followed was a dramatic scene; the two of them hooked up, and Constantine dropped the bombshell that when he adopted, there was a mistake in identity, leading to their divorce.
The jade pendant was the reason Constantine adopted her.
This was probably the most absurd thing she had ever encountered— a man adopting her because of a jade pendant, marrying her, and then abandoning her to pamper the true owner of the pendant. Constantine and Aurora got what they wanted, all smiles, but her life was destroyed.
Those days of love now seemed more like a joke— it was her first time realizing just how cold and unpredictable her past pillow companion was.
Chloe didn’t care at all about Aurora being with Constantine. Now, she only wanted to piece her broken life back together and live tenaciously like wild grass.
Aurora, seeing that Chloe wouldn’t budge, thought for a moment and said, "If you want to stay, then stay. I’ll remember to send you a wedding invitation since we were once childhood sisters. Oh, by the way, here’s a gift I brought you from Paris."
Aurora picked up a paper bag by her feet, handed it to Chloe with a charming smile, and said, "I bought it with Constantine’s secondary card. I’m spending from his secondary card now."
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back. Please don’t come by again in the future." Chloe didn’t even glance at the bag, drove off, bundled up in her down jacket, and braved the biting wind of the Imperial City to return to her apartment building, taking the elevator home.
He never gave her pocket money nor allowed her to earn money, yet he gave Aurora his secondary card, spent a fortune to make her famous, bringing her into the circle of nobility. Chloe’s lips curled slightly into a chilly smile, wishing them a lifelong happiness but never wanting to see them again in her life.
Returning home, Chloe set the shopping bag down and simply made dinner. At 7 PM, she logged onto the gaming platform to start streaming. However, this time she didn’t turn on her camera and only streamed the game screen. She disguised her voice with a voice changer she bought today. Yesterday she made quite a stir in the game, so from today, she decided to be more cautious with her streams.
Upon logging into her stream, Chloe was surprised to find that over 50,000 people were already waiting.
This many people were waiting even before the stream started?
The viewers, upon seeing the streamer online, started flooding the chat with lines of gifts, and the bullet comments scrolled crazily across the screen.
"Boss, let’s team up. Boss, guide me. Boss, pat me."
"Goddess, log into the game quickly; Illusion World officials are going crazy looking for you."
"Goddess, why didn’t you turn on the camera?"
As soon as Chloe logged into the stream, the techies at Illusion World got wind of it and quickly informed their team leader, Henry Lincoln.
It’s quite strange— the game company checked the system records, prepared to contact the player "One Night White Hair," only to find that the registration wasn’t done with real-name verification, and the phone number was blank. What’s going on?
Did their system have a bug? The game company immediately started troubleshooting, only to find that this player’s information was incorrect, leaving them at a loss for words.
They now seriously suspected that their system had been hacked by a competitor.
Chloe had no idea that Illusion World officials were going gray looking for her.
When she registered, she didn’t want to use her real name and number, so she recalled the internal channel Constantine had used during beta testing and decided to try it out, finding that it actually worked, so she randomly filled in her information.
"There will be no face camera for today’s game stream, and it will last for an hour. This game is 3.5D, and extended play is exhausting," Chloe said calmly. "If you have any difficulties in the game, feel free to leave a comment, and today I’ll level up to 50."
"Leveling up 20 levels in an hour? Oh my gosh, that’s god-mode speed. Can’t wait for the goddess to boost my alt."
"Hello, player ’One Night White Hair,’ I’m Henry Lincoln, the person in charge of the Illusion World Game. Are you planning to exchange your dropped equipment online or offline?" a comment from the game’s official representative suddenly appeared in the chat.
The audience gasped in surprise.
"Woo, woo, taking a picture with Brother Lincoln."
"Brother Lincoln personally appeared. Are you sure this isn’t an official plant?"
"To those accusing it of being a plant, go wash your eyes; Illusion World just announced a 500-million yuan prize pool today. Do such wealthy players need to plant?"
Chloe glanced at the stream, while logging into the game, and said, "I’m not planning to exchange the Immortal Item equipment that dropped yesterday."
Entering the game, she organized the equipment in her inventory, selling worthless blue and green gear to the general store and listing some unused Treasure equipment from yesterday in the auction house.
As for the Phoenix Egg and Obsidian, she bound them directly to her character. Perhaps having nothing in real life, she could still carve out a world of her own in the game. In the past, when she played with Constantine, he liked the PVP classes while she played support.
Now, alone with a sword wandering the world, she’d never support anyone again; she was determined to play PVP classes herself.
The chat was suddenly flooded with "66666666."
"The goddess is so stylishly cool, binding five to six thousand yuan worth of gear with a click."
"6666666666."
Then the audience crazily showered gifts once more.
With her character open, Chloe chose her faction, directly opting for the demoness between the cultivating immortal and demon paths. She donned the demoness’s signature black attire, white-haired, clad in a black robe adorned with mandala flowers, her figure curvaceous, exuding an extraordinary and alluring beauty.
"Oh my, why do I think the demoness looks so good?"
"I also think the colorful fairies are too plain— the demoness has character."
"Goddess wait for me, I’m betraying the immortal faction now, I’m going to fall from grace and become a demon."
"Me, me, me, I’m joining too."
The stream’s popularity continued to rise as people chatted exuberantly, and in the game world, the server was abuzz with excitement due to Chloe’s presence.
After meeting with Aurora in the afternoon, Chloe was not in a good mood, spoke little, and just left the game background music on while ignoring the system messages, diving into the game to grind experience for leveling up.
Because she was streaming, many knew her location in the game, soon causing a massive crowd in the area she was grinding experience, with even small bosses getting trampled by players upon respawn.
Chloe was speechless for a moment; how was she going to level up 20 levels in an hour like this? Since she couldn’t grind experience, she decided to challenge difficult dungeons to level up.
"Peach Blossom Valley, difficult dungeon, level 50, looking for a level 50 high DPS to team up," she typed, stirring up a frenzy in the world channel.
Illusion World has been open for two months, and all players were stuck at level 50, unable to break through because no one could lift the level 50 curse. Some of the game’s settings were extremely unreasonable, and the official stance was, "We won’t say anything, feel free to play around blindly."
It was the first time everyone heard about the Peach Blossom Valley difficult dungeon, and the streamer was only level 35, not calling for support but asking for a high DPS to risk a level 50 difficult dungeon?
Were they playing the same game?
