Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Glory From Below (21)

Since Chuzheng dined at Jiang Liang’s place, she began to receive a nighttime snack at her door from time to time.

It was definitely Jiang Liang who left it.

But she never caught him in the act.

He left the snacks at different times each time, like a thief.

Every day in the game, Chuzheng would throw money around to have others help her leech experience points to level up.

With the city defense battle impending, the world quieted down quite a bit as everyone was busy leveling up and gearing up.

On the day of the City Battle System, the System underwent two hours of maintenance.

Once the maintenance concluded and Chuzheng logged in, the City Battle System was already fully updated.

[Private Chat]Jiang Liang: Will you participate in the city battle?

[Private Chat]Spending Money Like Dirt: Yeah.

There’s a lot of experience in the city battle.

I can sponge off that.

[Private Chat]Jiang Liang: Then join our team.

Jiang Liang felt fortunate that he and Chuzheng were in the same city, otherwise, they would have been on opposing sides.

Each player’s city affiliation was like their household registration, already determined when they chose their spawn point.

Jiang Liang’s team was made up of himself, Murong Gousheng, and Huangfu Tieniu, who were the top rankers on the Leaderboard.

[Team]Murong Gousheng: Hi sister, good to see you again.

[Team]Huangfu Tieniu: Hahahaha, it’s like three autumns have passed since I last saw you, sister. Hello.

[Team]Spending Money Like Dirt: Hello.

Seeing these three give their proper greetings, the top ranker on the Leaderboard couldn’t help but interject.

[Team]King: Enough from you guys.

[Team]Jiang Liang: There will be a reward for the team that comes in first place, so let’s aim to take down as many players as we can.

[Team]Huangfu Tieniu: Ey, wasn’t I just here to make up the numbers, Jiang Liang?

[Team]Murong Gousheng: I just wanted to see what the city battle is all about, I still have a thesis to write.

[Team]Spending Money Like Dirt: I’m here to leech experience.

Chuzheng, with her precise aim to leech experience, was unwavering in her approach.

[Team]King: … You guys might as well just quit! What use are you?

[Team]Huangfu Tieniu: We’re the pretty faces of the team.

[Team]Murong Gousheng: The pretty faces ×2

[Team]Spending Money Like Dirt: …

Judging by how these two talked, combined with Jiang Liang’s looks, there probably weren’t many who could outshine him, right?

[Team]King: Bullshit, where do you guys place Jiang Liang, then?

[Team]Murong Gousheng: Yes, yes, your Jiang Liang is the best-looking. But how about you bring him out for us to see, huh? No picture, no truth.

[Team]Huangfu Tieniu: Little Jiang Liang is our team’s pet.

[Team]King: Quite the precise roles you all have, then what about me and Chu Xi?!

[Team]Huangfu Tieniu: Chu Xi is a big shot, and you… you’re just a little minion.

King was probably about to explode with anger.

Before the city battle had even begun, the team faced the risk of falling apart.

[Team]Spending Money Like Dirt: It’s starting.

A countdown appeared on the screen.

Once the countdown ended, the scene in front changed, and they were teleported to the city battle map.

An additional [City] chat interface popped up on the panel.

As this was everyone’s first time, the chat interface was very chaotic.

Chuzheng and Jiang Liang’s group were teleported together; they now stood atop the city walls, surrounded by a throng of players.

They were on the defending side, the blue side.

There was half an hour before the battle officially began, giving players time to prepare.

A voice chat room was announced on the city channel, and Chuzheng, not in the mood to switch interfaces, didn’t join.

King, Murong Gousheng, and Huangfu Tieniu all entered the room.

[Team]Jiang Liang: Just follow me later, I’ll protect you.

[Team]Murong Gousheng: Hey, little Jiang Liang, how come you never offered to protect your big brother?

[Team]Jiang Liang: No need, you’re thick-skinned.

[Team]Murong Gousheng: That hurts, you know.

[Team]King: They’ve already established command, what do we do now?

[Team]Jiang Liang: Do whatever you want; I’m not following them.

Chuzheng had no intention of moving with the main troop either. With so many people, what if there was friendly fire?

As the half-hour passed, the city’s defenses were disabled, and players were free to come and go.

Chuzheng moved immediately.

[Team] Jiang Liang: Where are you going?

[Team] Number One on the Wealthy Tyrants Leaderboard: Looking for a high place.

[Team] Number One on the Power Leaderboard: What for?

[Team] Number One on the Wealthy Tyrants Leaderboard: It’s clearer to see from there.

Otherwise, you want to stay here and get hit?

Of course, I need to watch from afar.

[Team] Murong Gousheng: …

[Team] Huangfu Tieniu: …

[Team] Number One on the Power Leaderboard: …

There were more players on the city walls, and with the skill light effects, it really wasn’t clear enough to see.

But… weren’t you going to leech experience?

Are you not leeching anymore?

King’s Account said with a sneer, if Miss’s words could be believed, then pigs could climb trees.

Jiang Liang had originally planned to take the top spot in the team, which came with nice rewards, but since Chuzheng didn’t seem interested, he had no choice but to give up and follow Chuzheng.

[City] Packing a Portion of Wu Year Cake: Damn, they’ve got more people than us.

[City] Run to Money: Who’s commanding on the other side?

[City] A Fool Also Has A Brain: Seems to be Yue Wuheng right?

[City] A Drop of Ink: Is Yue Wuheng’s command that amazing?

[City] Thunderstorm Highway: Who knows, it’s my damn first time playing a city battle.

The opposing commander was better than theirs; the siege was progressing very rapidly, causing their players to complain bitterly.

Although death meant you could revive, you had to make your way from the respawn point which already put you at a time disadvantage.

[Main Quest: Please obtain the ‘Spending Money Like Dirt’ achievement within one hour.]

Chuzheng: “…”

I’m just here to watch the show.

Leech some experience!

Why on earth are you asking me to squander money!

How am I supposed to squander like this?

[Go, Miss! As long as you want to, there isn’t a home you can’t ruin!] King’s Account reminded cheerfully.

Chuzheng: “…”

I hope you cheer just as happily when I kill you.

[…]

I’m out of here.

Can’t I avoid what I can’t afford to mess with?

Chuzheng’s heart swelled with frustration like a pufferfish.

That last time with the ‘Throwing Money Away’ achievement cost me so much.

This time, it’s definitely going to be no less expensive. @@novelbin@@

Chuzheng, with a stony face, opened the store.

She then found that many things in the store were dimmed and unclickable.

During the city battle, there were limited items available for purchase.

Chuzheng: “…”

They’re not even letting me set off fireworks!

How am I supposed to ruin this home!!

Waste my ass!

[City] I’m Super Cute: It’s no use, I’m out of mana.

[City] Breeze Like Orange: I’m out too.

[City] Suddenly It’s Summer: What the hell is the commander doing, can’t they see there are so many people on the left?

[City] Number One on the Wealthy Tyrants Leaderboard: Those who lack potions come to me, free of charge.

[City] Number One on the Wealthy Tyrants Leaderboard: Coordinates 390.237

As soon as Chuzheng sent out this message, the city was silent for three seconds, after which it burst into frenzied chatter.

[City] I’m Super Cute: The big shot has actually joined!!

[City] I’m Super Cute: I’m coming, wait for me, big shot!

I’m Super Cute appeared quickly.

[City] Number One on the Wealthy Tyrants Leaderboard: Aren’t you an apothecary?

[City] I’m Super Cute: Healer heal thyself not, even a wealthy apothecary needs care, whimper whimper.

[City] Number One on the Wealthy Tyrants Leaderboard: …
