Will Keep Winning

Zhou Yue's Illusion World.

"Li Ang, how did I never notice before... that you're such an unlucky wretch?"

After studying the skill book found on the guard's body for a moment, the corners of Su Di'er's mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Yue's expression instantly darkened.

The target's guard had been slightly weaker than him in terms of strength, but his cultivation technique was incredibly bizarre.

According to the detailed explanation he saw on the system panel, this skill, named [Rock-Paper-Scissors], had a very low probability of triggering different effects with each punch thrown.

When it hit him, it was as if he were cursed; the effects kept triggering non-stop...

Defense reduction, slow, paralysis...

Those were just child's play.

The main issue was the bizarre debuffs like twitching and flatulence, which truly made him lose all face in front of his little fangirl.

Upon learning the reason, Su Di'er couldn't help but laugh, leaning back and forth.

High-level mission targets dropped loot.

Zhou Yue fished out the items from the bodies, and Su Di'er immediately grabbed one of the packets of powder.

"Li Ang... we have to destroy this."

Su Di'er spoke solemnly, her words causing Zhou Yue to freeze for a moment.

"You don't kill women and children, but in this world, how many women and children have died because of this?"

Su Di'er thought of the past, her eyes filled with sorrow as she threw out a fire talisman, slowly burning it to ashes.

The powder was, unmistakably, Magic Potion.

The very thing that had caused her entire family to die a violent death.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me..."

Seeing Zhou Yue staring at her, Su Di'er asked curiously.

"Uh, nothing."

Zhou Yue quickly shook his head, snapping back to reality.

[Magic Potion] was a very valuable spoil of war; it could be exchanged for a considerable amount of silver in the underground black market.

The way Su Di'er grabbed and destroyed such a valuable item reminded him of Zhou Qiaoling.

"I just remembered, uh, an... old friend."

...

...

Zhou Qiaoling's Illusion World.

"Mmm, this is delicious... eat more!"

Zhou Qiaoling sat with Su Di'er in a luxurious private room, gorging herself on a table full of delicacies.

"Mas... Master..."

Su Di'er's mouth was stuffed full, making her speech slurred and indistinct.

"Li... Li, what happen jus now..."

Being asked this by Su Di'er, Zhou Qiaoling was also bewildered.

The enemy guard had come up and landed two solid punches on her. She was completely fine, but the guard vomited blood and died.

"Your master is just too strong~"

Zhou Qiaoling replied cheerfully, burying her head back into her bowl.

...

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Zhou Qiaoling began her daily scavenging.

Under her tutelage, Su Di'er's other skills were mediocre, but when it came to looting corpses, she was top-tier in speed.

She quickly arranged the items by value and category.

Watching Su Di'er burn the Magic Potion, Zhou Qiaoling felt a pinch of heartache, but she didn't show it.

"Li Ang, sometimes I don't understand... do you love money, or do you not?"

Su Di'er blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

Zhou Qiaoling paused, quickly realizing that Su Di'er was referring to the time she offered four banknotes to hire Li Ang to kill her enemy, only to be rejected.

It wasn't that she didn't want to take it.

It was because that segment was a cinematic cutscene; the original Li Ang simply wouldn't take it.

If it were up to her, she would have machine-gunned the enemy for the sake of her precious apprentice for just a single banknote.

This thought was strictly suppressed by the behavior system, so it couldn't be executed.

Zhou Qiaoling began to spout nonsense without blushing or skipping a beat:

"A gentleman loves wealth, but obtains it morally. As a teacher, I only take money from robbing the rich to aid the poor. The rest... I look down upon!"

Su Di'er's eyes widened. "Does the money I rob count too?"

Zhou Qiaoling nodded. "It counts."

"Then I will work hard to save money now... and in the future, you will help me fulfill my wish, right?"

In the young girl's eyes, it seemed as if stars were twinkling.

Zhou Qiaoling nodded without hesitation. "Right!"

...

...

Zhong's Illusion World.

Su Di'er grinned as she pushed the food in front of her toward Zhong.

"Oh, come on, Li Ang, it's okay... it was just a few punches, nothing to be depressed about..."

Just a moment ago, when the rich young master was about to grab her chin, Zhong had flown through the window like a cannonball. For a moment, his aura was incredibly imposing.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong landing spot. He crashed in, rolled a few times, and fell flat on his face...

Then, the opponent, lacking any martial ethics, launched a sneak attack, leaving Zhong looking quite battered.

Of course, Zhong's stats and level were very high, so in the end, he managed to clear the dungeon with Su Di'er without any real danger.

It was just that the scene had been a bit ugly.

"Thanks to you, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

The young girl quietly scooted closer to Zhong, her lips whispering softly by his ear.

Hearing this, Zhong felt a little better.

"As long as you're okay, then... uh!?"

Zhong turned his head and saw the girl leaning against him with a mischievous smile, her pink lips almost touching his cheek. He hurriedly flashed several body lengths away to the side.

The barrage of comments instantly erupted in laughter.

[Damn, is that a teleport? Is that a speed the streamer can actually pull off?]

[Damn it, if you had that reaction speed when fighting the BOSS, would you have gotten beaten up??]

[I told you the streamer doesn't look like he's acting, he's so pure.]

[Poor Zhong, being played in the palm of a little girl's hand.]

...

"Li Ang, how old were you when you performed your first assassination mission?"

The young girl picked up the wine glass in front of her, intending to drink it in one go, but was stopped by Zhong.

Ignoring the girl's eye-roll, Zhong swapped the wine in Su Di'er's hand for goat milk before continuing their conversation.

"Twenty."

Hearing this answer, Su Di'er suddenly smiled.

In ancient times, women were taught not to show their teeth when smiling, but Su Di'er openly revealed her pearly whites.

"Then, I win~"

The girl made a victory sign with her hand, her smile becoming even more unbridled.

Her overflowing vitality caused Zhong to freeze for a moment.

Looking at the girl before him, who was like a little sun, Zhong muttered something under his breath.

He had long since made up his mind to give all the best resources to Su Di'er, allowing her to become a cultivator who far surpassed Li Ang.

"You will... keep winning."

[The five illusion worlds in these two chapters are not filler to pad the word count; they are related to the upcoming tragedy. Each person's experience will be different.]
