Since He Lang maxed out crafting and gathering skills on his main account, he pondered a time to collect materials to smith a new umbrella for Sheep Curls.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: I will get you a new weapon next time.]
As if expecting what kind of answer he would receive, he added.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Refusal is not allowed.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Then let me pay you.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: …]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: I am not charging you. If you really want to pay me, use that money for something else.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Is there anything you want?]
He Lang raised his eyebrows gently.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Come up with something yourself.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Oh.]
Quietly taking this to heart, Yang Juan stopped asking.
Once the two of them finished the rest of their dailies, He Lang looked through his mission list and typed to ask.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Have you ever done commencing?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: No, what is it?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: It is where you transport goods.]
He Lang took him to commence at once.
There are several commerce routes in the game, and he picked the longest one.
They bought goods from the commerce NPC and prepared to carry them all the way from Misty Sand Mountain to South Continent Port.
Twice on the way, they encountered players attempting to plunder the goods, which were all beaten black and blue by He Lang.
After selling the delivered goods at South Continent Port, and getting the reward for the commerce run, Yang Juan planned to turn in for the night.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I will be off.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: All right.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Goodbye.]
After he finished this and before he left the game, a new message appeared in his private chat window.
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.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Wait, just goodbye?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: ?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: You have nothing else to say to me?]

[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Didn’t I bid you goodnight last time?]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Last time did not count.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Why not?]
He Lang froze for a second.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: That was last time, it cannot be used as an excuse for this time.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Okay.]
Getting a hang of pleasing He Lang somewhat, he went along with the other party.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Goodnight.]
[(Friend) Night Ferry: That’s it?]
This time, Yang Juan soon got it.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Okay.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Goodnight, gege (moon)]
He Lang was finally satisfied.
[(Friend) Night Ferry: Goodnight, Little Sheep (moon)]
Yang Juan exited out of the game and closed his laptop. The moment he saw his reflection on the screen before closing his laptop, he suddenly wondered.
Before he was meimei, and now was back to being Little Sheep?
He Lang switched to his main account and pulled people from the guild to run Underground River Forest.
Not long after Yang Juan went to bed, he received a call from Zhuo Lan.
Zhuo Lan wanted to sleep in the dorm tonight but he left his key, so he wanted Yang Juan to stay up and get the door for him later.
After the call ended, Yang Juan crawled out of the bed and browsed his phone, leaning against the wall.
However, he got more and more sleepy despised browsing through his phone. Fearing that he might fall asleep, he stepped down from his bed with the ladder, turned his laptop back on, and clicked on Epic’s icon on his desktop.
It was nearly midnight now, and Night Ferry’s icon on his friend list was black.
Feeling disappointed for no reason, he walked slowly to South Continent Port, purchased goods from the NPC, and decided to travel to Misty Sand Mountain alone.
This solo run was not as smooth as with two people.
His goods were plundered halfway on his journey.
By a max level player called Cherry in Snow Breeze. Her name was vaguely familiar, and alongside her name was Smoke Beacon, the guild she belonged to.
She was in the same guild as him.
Although what Yang Juan focused on was healing mental skill, it was not like he was incapable of fighting. However, the equipment gap between the two players was too large. The other player soon injured him a great deal and snatched away half of his goods.
Once he was back on his feet and restored his health with potions, he caught a glimpse of a message appearing in the local chat.
[(Local) Cherry in Snow Breeze: Ah, sorry, I did not notice that we are from the same guild.]
[(Local) Sheep Curls: It’s fine.]
Without wanting to argue more on this, Yang Juan stopped at another commerce station, found the NPC and filled more goods in the emptied spot where the goods were plundered, and continued his way to Misty Sand Mountain.
Zhuo Lan came back right as he was about to reach Misty Sand Mountain.
Yang Juan used auto-pathing, set his destination to Misty Sand Mountain’s commerce station, and got up to open the door for Zhuo Lan.
On the way here, Zhuo Lan passed a street food stall and bought roasted meat.
After entering the room, he put the takeout box containing the skewed meat on the table, told Yang Juan to help himself, took a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Yang Juan sat back down in front of his laptop, wanting to finish his commerce first.
However, there was a system prompt waiting for him, saying how his goods were plundered again.
The culprit left already, but the system prompt showed the name of the player. It was Cherry again.
It finally dawned on Yang Juan that she was doing it on purpose.
He made it to the commerce station at Misty Sand Mountain, opened the guild member list, and saw that Cherry was still online.
Zhuo Lan came out after his shower and saw his friend was inspecting Cherry’s character menu. “What are you looking at her information for? Is Apricot Sprig bothering you?”
Hearing his roommate bring up a certain player, Yang Juan remembered that Cherry was the person that spoke up for Apricot.
“She plundered my goods.” Yang Juan said.
When Zhuo Lan heard this, he frowned, slapped on the table and roared, “Plundered your goods? She must have done it on purpose!”
“She indeed did it on purpose.” Yang Juan nodded from how true the statement was, and added, “She had done it twice already.”
“Even daring to do it twice!?” Zhuo Lan scoffed from anger. “The guild has a rule that states guild members cannot plunder other guild members’ goods. How bold of her. With how late it is, there is no way she would come to Misty Sand Mountain except for commerce.” He went to his desk and turned on his computer. “Since she started it, we will also plunder her as well.”
Hearing this, Yang Juan tilted his head in confusion. “Did you not just say guild members cannot plunder other guild members’ goods?”
Zhuo Lan lifted his chin and said confidently, “No problem, I will use another account.”
“If the goal of using a side account is not to be recognized,” Yang Juan nodded thoughtfully, “so why did she not use a side account when targeting me?”
“Not sure.” Zhuo Lan did not dwell on it. “And who cares?”
He went on a max level and guildless side account and went to Misy Sand Mountain to rendezvous with Yang Juan.
Then they traveled to South Continent Port, trying to find their target.
Halfway there, they found Cherry, who was carrying goods.
Apricot was there as well.
He pulled Yang Juan along and followed them quietly. Soon, he could tell that Cherry and Apricot were traveling on auto-pathing.
Apricot had long been an eyesore for him; before, he did not do anything to her in private because of Errant Wolf.
He asked Yang Juan to stay where he was, leaped over using his light movement skills, and easily plundered their goods.
Feeling like the victory was way too easy, and not all of his anger were vented out, he beat Apricot and Cherry to silver of health before returning to find Yang Juan.
The two returned to Chang’an City to go offline, shut down their devices, and finished the food.
The smell of roasted meat lingering in his mouth was so strong that he dreamed of a roasted-flavored dream.
At noon the next day, Zhuo Lan received a message from Jingling Bells Dear.
Apricot complained to Errant Wolf, saying how Sheep Curls got someone to plunder her goods last night.
How quickly she ran to tell, might have been a setup? Hmm.
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🐑
