44: Chapter 44 I Entrust Myself

In the world of pay-to-win games, there is a profession whose duty is to increase the fun of the game.

Their methods include, but are not limited to:

Creating grudges between two strangers or even guilds, providing a rival for lonely and invincible whales, and guiding players who have spent money in a fit of rage to make a comeback and seek revenge.

They can be called official playmates, or they can be called game shills.

The smaller the game, the more it needs this profession, because a large enough game can provide enough conflict and fun on its own without needing them to gild the lily.

The game "three generals kill" is in great need of this profession.

However, this kind of thing can only be done secretly, and they won't deploy a large number of game shills.

Once it is exposed and proven on a large scale, the blow to the game would undoubtedly be devastating.

The whale big brothers want to kill real people, not someone acting with them.

When Zhao Xiaoshuai obtained his second slot, he submitted an application to become a game shill through the official channels of "three generals kill."

Generally speaking, this sensitive profession does not accept applications from strangers.

However, he went with a "resume," so that was a different story.

He described the entire anniversary celebration event in his server as something guided and planned by him alone.

He promised and guaranteed the subsequent recharge amounts of the whale "Only Recharging a Billion Points a Day."

So, when the comeback drama of the celebration night played out, attracting official attention and being analyzed at the morning meeting, Zhao Xiaoshuai's application letter was brought up for discussion as well.

After analysis by several official members, they finally recognized his ability and chose to give him this opportunity.

Through the internet, he quickly signed a temporary employment agreement with the game officials.

The agreement contained many clauses, mostly restricting Zhao Xiaoshuai's behavior; if his identity were suspected or even exposed, the company had the right to terminate the contract at any time.

However, he didn't care about any of that; all he needed was the premium currency issued by the game side.

To the game company, these virtual currencies might just be a string of numbers, but to Zhao Xiaoshuai, they were real money!

Moreover, as long as he maintained a good relationship with the person issuing the resources, he could receive the appropriate amount each time, reducing the use of cash-back cards and maximizing the utility of his already increased cash-back limit.

While Zhao Xiaoshuai was deliberating on his wording to apply for his first batch of resources, he suddenly felt a wave of pleasure that made his vision go white, and his big head briefly lost the ability to think.

Since learning the skill [Slacking off], this was the first time Zhao Xiaoshuai had failed at Multitasking.

Looking down, it turned out Ling Rui had chosen to learn from the middle one between the Goat and the Rooster.

This action brings a strong sense of discomfort to the practitioner, and it was the same for Ling Rui, but she was deeply immersed in it, both pained and enjoying it.

After a long while, Zhao Xiaoshuai was able to focus again on preparing the account for the game shill role.

Although he didn't have an alt in this server, many people quit this kind of game; he used a newly created level one account and broadcasted in the game for a few minutes before contacting someone.

This person used to be in the Brotherhood; after being kicked, he went to play in another server and had specifically come back this time to watch the drama.

After trading for the game account, he bound it to the second slot.

He changed the name, looked at the Brotherhood which now had only twenty-odd people, and clicked the application to join.

Closing the game, he opened Weixun again and saw several unread messages.

Since his real-life activities had become more and more fulfilling, he found he rarely checked his phone; missing messages like this would never have happened to him before.

The first message was from Xu Yuyan, mostly reporting the progress of the matter.

According to her, the man surnamed Lei had already taken the bait; she had an appointment to meet him tonight, and if things went smoothly, his deeds could be made public in the next day or two.

It was even possible he would spend the Spring Festival in a detention center.

The second message was sent by Guan Xiaosu not long ago.

According to her description, Xiao Anan had been delayed for half a year due to health issues and was now having trouble keeping up after returning to the first grade.

She wanted the child to stay in kindergarten for a while first to interact more with other children, and then re-enroll next year when her health was completely restored.

This was originally a decision she could have made entirely on her own, but because it expressed a certain attitude of hers, she specifically came to seek Zhao Xiaoshuai's opinion.

So he also seriously replied with his consent, stating that she should choose a good kindergarten and not worry about the tuition.

Finally, there was a long string of friend requests, almost all added by players from the Moyu Society through the group chat.

His brow furrowed; he first set his Weixun to not allow new friend requests and then rejected them one by one.

Among this string of applications, his interest was suddenly piqued by a name.

Xiaoyan Muyu; he remembered the rumors said she was a rich and beautiful woman.

He clicked to accept the friend request.

Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't have any other intentions; he certainly didn't add her just because she was a beauty.

He did it purely out of consideration for expanding his network.

After Guan Xiaosu's experience, he understood one thing: money is not always omnipotent.

He could spend money freely now, but he had no way to deal with even an ordinary scumbag and had to rely on Sister Hong, who navigated the gray areas, for help.

It felt like wanting to give money away but not being able to find the door.

And in games, there are actually many possibilities for expanding one's network.

A person who can casually spend tens or even hundreds of thousands in a virtual world—excluding spoiled brats and the very few who embezzle public funds—must inevitably be a high-quality connection in reality.

Except for cheaters like Zhao Xiaoshuai, money does not accumulate out of thin air.

Big shots and wealthy businessmen you might never have the chance to meet in reality might just be players who either call the shots or remain inconspicuous in a game.

Of course, in a small mobile game like "three generals kill," it's hard to encounter truly big shots, but it's always good to get to know more people above the copper frame level.

Xiaoyan Muyu's Moments were visible to friends.

Zhao Xiaoshuai clicked in and saw that the latest post was from yesterday, seemingly of her birthday party.

He could see it was a very high-specification banquet; just the decorations of the venue showed it cost a fortune.

However, perhaps out of respect for the privacy of others, no other people appeared in the pictures besides herself.

The thing that attracted him most wasn't these, but the only person he could see who had liked the post below: Ling Rui.

He looked at that hardworking M.

Perhaps it was her inexperienced clumsiness, or perhaps Zhao Xiaoshuai's control attribute was becoming stronger and stronger, but she still hadn't finished her coursework after trying for a long time.

He could only help her complete the coursework through verbal guidance and manual assistance first.

[You interacted with Ling Rui and luckily obtained a multiplier silver card]

"Who is this person?"

Ling Rui took a sip of water, cleared her throat, and hurriedly looked at the content her master was pointing at.

"This should be a birthday banquet I attended last night. The protagonist is the eldest young lady of the Hengtian Group, Xing Huiqiong."
