Sue San’s generosity towards Sheep Curls further indicated how stingy Errant Wolf was to her.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Apricot Sprig concluded in her mind that Errant Wolf was dirt poor.
The idea of furthering the development of this situation was completely eliminated immediately. She looked down to admire her new manicures and decided to think of an excuse to get that dancer kicked out of the guild once guild war was over.
Errant Wolf was also annoyed at Apricot Sprig. He would rather take the honest bookworm to do daily tasks than spending a minute more with Apricot Sprig.
However, if the glasses girl was really being honest was to be determined.
Once the two of them came out of the mail station, Errant Wolf used the last of his patient to say a few words to Apricot Sprig, before logging off on the spot.
Before going offline, he sent a message to Dead of Night’s main account.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Sheep Curls has a good relationship with Farewell Sue San. That assassin is not someone who would casually take any new account under his wings even if they are girls. That means they have been acquaintances for a long time. She is most likely a member of Polaris.]
Polaris, the guild Sue San was in.
In last year’s Ultimate Guild War final, Polaris ranked in the top five in the entire service.
Night Ferry came online less than two minutes after Errant Wolf went offline.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Where are you?]
When Yang Juan received the message, he already bid goodbye to Sue San, preparing to do his mission alone.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: On the street in front of Luoyang City’s inn.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Stay right there, I am on my way.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Oh.]
Yang Juan just stood in the middle of the street, waiting for the other person to come.
Night Ferry came riding his tiger. He stopped his mount, sent a mount request, and went to find the NPC who gave out quests.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Did you receive the headphones?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Yes, but I was too busy to pick it up today.]
The headphones got here very quickly, but not the voice changer. Yang Juan replied according to what Zhuo Lan taught him.
Night Ferry accepted his excuse.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Remember to pick it up tomorrow.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Okay.]
Night Ferry took him to get missions that give high experience as reward. After running around the map, Yang Juan’s dancer account finally reached the max level.
After reaching the max level, as a job that only female characters could play, the dancer could select healing or damage output as their mental skill.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Do you want to play as a healer or dps?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Either is fine with me.]
Night Ferry purposely joked with him.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: If that is the case, you should play as a healer. I happened to be missing a personal healer.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: What is a personal healer?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Like the name suggested, you can only heal me, and no one else.]
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yang Juan frowned and sternly thought.

[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I will play dps.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: …]

Apart from his status as a guild officer, he was still a max level account with purple gear, although his equipment and mounts were inferior compared to his main account.
Could it be this little spy with white gear actually looking down on purple gear?
Originally, Night Ferry was only joking and did not really want the dancer to become his personal healer. Now, having been turned down for real, it provoked him to make this joke real.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: What is there to hate? What is wrong with being my personal healer? I have been taking you around on my mount, hand feeding you missions, and carrying you in instance dungeons for everyday now.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I do not hate it.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Then what is not to your liking?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Nothing.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Then it is decided.]
Deleting the reply that he did not send out in time, Yang Juan stared at his screen, wavering.
As if seeing his hesitation, Night Ferry added more perk without demur.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: This is still not enough for you? How about I add another perk, I will pay for all of your equipment in the future.]
Yang Juan subconsciously retorted softly, “I do not need you to do that.”
After he said that, he realized that the other party could not hear him, and immediately lowered his head to type.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I do not need you to do that.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: You really do not want me to pay for all of your equipment?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Really.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Okay, remembered you said that.]
Night Ferry turned the white tiger around and set the destination to the sect for dancers.
Yang Juan’s expression froze slightly.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Where are we going?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: First we are going to the NPC that gives the mental skill for healing, then I will take you to get a new set of equipment.]
Now Yang Juan looked at a loss.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: But I did not agree to be your personal healer.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: What was that? Did you not just say yes? You want to break your promise? There are not many players here. If you are going back on your promise, I cannot guarantee that I will not do anything to you.]
Yang Juan was even more confused now as he subconsciously pursed his lips.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: When did I agree?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: You said you do not need me to pay for your equipment. Does it not imply that you have accepted my proposal?]
Yang Juan speechlessly opened his mouth.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: This is a preposterous argument, I cannot win against you in words.]
Night Ferry inconspicuously paused, with his expression becoming more inscrutable.
He suspected that the little spy was deliberately acting coquettishly, but he was without evidence.
In an instant, he completely forgot the boring image of a girl with glasses in his impression, as he softened the way he typed, even with a little bit of indulgence, without him realizing.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Fine, I am making a preposterous argument, whatever Little Sheep said.]
Yang Juan was caught off guard, and the heat immediately crept up from his neck to his ears.
After learning the mental skill from the Cold Frost Palace, Night Ferry examined Yang Juan’s shabby beginner equipment for a moment.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: I think it is time for you to change your lousy equipment. I will take you to get a new set of cosmetic gears.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: The beginner clothes look fine.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Don’t you girls like to change into new clothes?]
Yang Juan immediately changed his tone.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Okay.]
Night Ferry went to the forum to go through posts, trying to find good-looking and decent-quality outfits for healing-focused healers.
After picking and choosing, he selected two sets, switched back to the game and told Yang Juan to check QQ, making him choose between screenshots of the two outfits based on how they look.
Night Ferry: [Pick one.]
Yang Juan clicked on the image to enlarge it.
First, the long, strapless orange dress. Then, a short, purple skirt with a girdle.
Sheep Curls: [Are you going to buy it?]
Night Ferry: [Nope, I am taking you to grind for it.]
Sheep Curls: [Then the orange one.]
Night Ferry: [Glistening Waters of Autumn?]
Sheep Curls: [Yes.]
When the two switched back to the game client, Night Ferry took them to the gate of the instance dungeon to form a party.
Glistening Waters of Autumn set was an exclusive drop of the Underground River Forest, an instance dungeon that was released earlier this year. The rate of the whole set dropping was very low, so players had to trade with other players to complete the set.
On their way to the Underground River Forest, Night Ferry suddenly remembered something. He opened his friend list and opened a chat window with Sweet One.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Have you sold the Waters of Autumn ring and hair crown you got from the Underground River Forest?]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Ge, not yet. All of those rich players only want to buy the whole set.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Save them for me, I will buy it off of you.]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Roger that, ge!!! Thank you!!! Are you thinking of getting Willow the full set? (smirk)]
As soon as he asked that question, he noticed the wrongness in this.
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Wait a minute, this is not right. Isn’t Willow’s main account a bard? Waters of Autumn is dancers’ equipment (confuse)]
Night Ferry ignored him.
Even then, it finally dawned on Sweet One.
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Ge, I heard from the other members that you have been hanging out with Willow’s roommate recently, consistently doing missions with her by yourself. So is the equipment for Curly?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Yes]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Night-ge, no way, you are not that kind of person. (frown) I am not doubting Curly’s character. But should you not stay away from Curly to avoid suspicion?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Night your ass, this is He Lang.]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Huh???]
Sweet One was among the few guild members that knew the inside story on how Apricot Sprig was a spy.
He regained his composure quickly as he went on, now that he got the whole story.
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Okay, Lang-ge!!! I understand!!!]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Understand what?]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: That Curly is my real sister-in-law!!!]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: ?]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Lang-ge had to wrong our sister-in-law because of the guild war QQQ. Not even the whole set of Glistening Waters of Autumn could compare!!! Even a hundred sets could not be compared!!!]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Calm down and listen to me.]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Okay, ge!!! I understand!!! There is no need for you to explain!!! I will keep this secret for you and Curly!!! If I tell anyone, I will livestream myself eating shit!!!]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: …]
[(Friend) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Just the thought of how much my sister-in-law has to endure to see you all lovey-dovey with another person in the guild as well as pretending to be a stranger with you breaks my heart QQQ. Once they added marriage to the game, you must marry sister-in-law in the grandest fashion, regardless of cost!!! Say no more, I will start bombarding the official forum to urge them to add the marriage feature faster!!!]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: ……]
Whatever, just let him be.
He Lang closed his private chat without showing a hint of emotion, not wanting to see the other person’s name anymore.
The author has something to say:
A’Ruan has Wine:
Everything is set up for the plot.
Is there a…yellow, with five angles? Curly_good_boy_face.jpg
The translator has something to say:
Teo: ⭐🐑
The author is actually talking about the ‘sea star’ (doesn’t look like a starfish) currency in Changpei.
Okay. Thanks for letting us know about the currency because I had no freaking clue! Love how the guild members have trouble keeping characters lined up also—without the translator notes I would have had no freaking clue. This story is a hoot when I don’t mistake x for y and who ever…. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🐑🐺👀
Chapter 0/ character list? So no lies, I usually have a Google sheet with all the names and notes so I don’t forget people (curse my goldfish memory!!).
I was so confused, thinking one playing 3 accounts… now I understand 😆
Ahhhh sorry, typed my comment on the wrong place 😅
Story is cute! I thought Apricot Sprit is just a stereotypical image of girl gamer, who using men for paying, but now it’s more interesting
Thank you for your translation 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Each new chapter i am waiting for the reveal and it never happens … Anticipation is killing me!
Lol he is coaxing his future wife into getting the healer job and still doesn’t admit to his friend that sheep is his future wife. Lol He keeps buying stuff and wants to spend time with him and still doesn’t admit that he is trying to get himself a real wife. 😅
Thank you for the chapter!☺️

Loving the energy from ‘Crush Pick this Sweet One ‘!
