Chapter 101 Big Sister Tyrant Peach

Chapter 101: Big Sister Tyrant Peach

Then, the other Qinglian Sect members, who had been watching the group chat, couldn't take it anymore and jumped into the fray.

All sorts of bizarre characters—green teas, white lotuses, and holier-than-thou types—took turns flooding the chat with mind-bending, sanity-shattering rhetoric about how "believing in Qinglian grants eternal life." It was truly a spectacle, leaving onlookers dumbfounded and convinced these people had been thoroughly brainwashed.

Facing them head-on, the Shengjing Jingcheng Four Young Masters and Six Young Masters were no slouches either. With sheer determination, they engaged in a verbal battle against the masses, holding their own against hundreds. These two alone managed to unleash the fury of several hundred people, achieving a hard-fought standoff against the horde of brainwashed Qinglian Sect fanatics.

[Shengjing Big Sister Tyrant Peach: Old Four, Old Six, get your butts back here and get to work! What’s the point of wasting time arguing in the group chat? If you’ve got the guts, log into the game and wipe out that damn Qinglian Sect! If they’re happy being brainwashed slaves, why bother stopping them? Since when has anyone who joined a cult ever ended up well? If you actually manage to wake them up with your insults, you’d just be doing them a favor!]

[Shengjing Jingcheng Four Young Masters: *Mind-blown.jpg* You’re right, Big Sis! You’re so wise. Let’s go, Old Six. No more wasting time on them. Let them stay stupid and die in their stupidity.]

[Shengjing Jingcheng Six Young Masters: Coming, Fourth Bro! Damn it—who bought up all the seafood while we were busy arguing?! My super-sized lobster… gone, all gone…]

[Shengjing Big Sister Tyrant Peach: I bought it. It’s already steaming in the pot. Get your asses over here and eat. Second, Third, and Fifth are already on their way. If they finish it all before you arrive, don’t blame me.]

[Shengjing Jingcheng Six Young Masters: Whoa! Coming! Big Sis, wait for me! Second Bro, Third Bro, Fifth Bro—save me some!]

After the three Shengjing siblings left, the group chat fell eerily silent. The onlookers, who had been enjoying the drama, were now consumed by envy and resentment. While they struggled to even get a decent meal, these three siblings were openly flaunting their gourmet feast. It was utterly inhumane! Who were they trying to make die of envy?

The Qinglian Sect members, meanwhile, were left shaken by Tyrant Peach’s sharp retort, beginning to doubt themselves. Could the Qinglian Sect really be a cult?

By the time Hua Diao finished opening her treasure chests, exhausted both physically and mentally, she logged back in to catch up on the latest trends—only to witness this spectacular exchange.

Hua Diao was amazed!

Hua Diao was stunned!

But this Qinglian Sect did seem vaguely familiar… Wasn't it a cult from the novel? In the early stages, it wasn't particularly influential, just popping up occasionally to preach about their "great mission of aiding the weak." It wasn't until later that they gained real prominence.

She and her online bookworm bestie had once discussed the Qinglian Sect. Given how often it appeared in the novel, it was bound to be built up as a major antagonist—a pure villainous tool to boost the protagonist’s reputation.

Too bad the novel hadn’t finished serializing, and the Qinglian Sect hadn’t fully risen to power before she died and got transmigrated here. She wondered how her kindred spirit and bestie was doing now. Without her to discuss novel plots with, was she feeling lonely?

Hmm… Speaking of which, that "Shengjing Big Sister Tyrant Peach" in the group chat had a username eerily similar to her bestie’s. Back then, her bestie’s handle had indeed been "Tyrant Peach."

Lost in nostalgic thought, Hua Diao closed the chat channel, then sat bolt upright with renewed energy and opened the official in-game trading zone.

She had already reached Level 20. With another 100 gold coins, she could upgrade to a VIP membership.

[Ding!—Congratulations, Player Hua Diao, on successfully upgrading to Premium Membership!]

[Ding!—Congratulations, Player Hua Diao, on becoming the 99th Premium Member! Unfortunately, no rewards this time!]

Hua Diao felt a pang of disappointment—not top ten, no rewards.

But she had expected as much.

The government wasn’t slacking off. With so many talented individuals and the establishment of Special Operations Bureaus nationwide, it was only natural that some top players—or entire departments pooling resources—would rush ahead to claim the top spots.

Her earlier achievement of being the first to become a standard member had been sheer luck, getting the early bird bonus.

With that in mind, Hua Diao clicked open the premium member-exclusive page.

[Item: Permanent Skill Scroll—Water Ball]

[Item Rank: Common]

[Price: 88 gold coins]

[Description: Upon learning, the user can cast small water balls. Attack Power: 5. Requires a minimum Spirit stat of 10 to learn. Duration depends on Spirit stat. If your Spirit is weak, well… buzz off, loser! Learning spells has requirements; it’s not for every weak-willed idiot. Try it if you don’t mind your brain exploding and turning into a moron—but the system won’t compensate for stupidity.]

Hua Diao: "…Wow, that description is brutal."

Scrolling down, aside from the Water Ball scroll, there were other common-tier permanent spells like Fireball, Golden Arrow, and Earth Spike—handy in certain situations but nothing special—all priced at 88 gold coins.

That was way more expensive than the batch of permanent skill scrolls she’d sold in the free trading zone.

She remembered pricing the Fireball scroll at just 50 gold coins and the Water Chain scroll at 60. She’d lost out on twenty or thirty gold coins! The thought made her wince.

Clutching her chest, Hua Diao forced herself to keep reading.

[Item: Permanent Skill Scroll—Movement of Water]

[Item Rank: Advanced]

[Price: 888 gold coins]

[Description: Area attack skill. This spell lulls enemies with the soothing chimes of mountain springs, immersing them in a peaceful trance—before the gentle waters transform into a deadly scythe, decapitating them in an instant. Attack Power: 100. One-shots Level 2 or lower monsters. Note: Works best for those with high Water Affinity~]

Wow. This was just what she needed right now. Water Affinity? Her base element was Water, so she should qualify, right?

Plus, she’d once used a single-use scroll version of Movement of Water—and it had been amazing.

If Water Tornado was a roaring, unstoppable force of nature, then Movement of Water was a silent, stealthy killer.

As a beauty who preferred to play dumb and survive, this skill suited her perfectly. Without hesitation, Hua Diao whipped out her gold coins and bought it.

After farming endless waves of noobs in the free trading zone, she was far from short on cash.
