Chapter 162: Chapter 161 Not Playing the Same Game (2nd Update)
Adding milk without extra charge had just started her live stream when she received a gift called the Super Rocket for the first time! A single Super Rocket costs a whole two thousand dollars.
Zhao Mingwei splurged by gifting five of them—that’s ten thousand dollars.
As for her thoughts on such a wealthy spender… she simply had to wholesale another batch!
At any other time, she might have demanded Zhao Mingwei to discard his weapons and fight the boss barehanded.
But now… she was willing to go for it.
“SR, should we just leave?” In a moment of desperation, she blurted out these words at the risk of ruining her plan to plunder the Magic Thief’s hideout.
As expected, Denghis Xisi turned and glared at her the moment he heard her whispering, and his look indeed contained murderous intent.
“Don’t worry, Denghis was my teacher in the past; he… used to be a good person,” Yelena reassured her, mistaking her panic for unease caused by the Magma Pool’s atmosphere.
“This plot is clearly trying to sacrifice you, hey hey, don’t be fooled,” said Adding milk without extra charge, somewhat influencing Yelena as she looked toward the end of the Obsidian path.
At the edge of it, a crimson Crystal Stone floated up from the Magma Pool; even with Yelena’s weak magic senses, the immense power within the crystal still gave her a shocking sensation.
“What are you really doing, teacher?” Yelena looked at the crystal stone and then again at Denghis Xisi standing at the end of the path.
“Here it goes, he must be gearing up to talk about ruling the world or something,” Adding milk without extra charge commented, seeing Denghis ready to speak.

Denghis Xisi pursed his lips slightly; why did he always feel like he had heard these words from someone else before?
In fact, most players witnessing this would have the same critique. Adding milk without extra charge originally planned to quietly make a fortune by supporting Denghis Xisi infiltrating the enemy, then take the chance to empty their home while unnoticed.
But following Zhao Mingwei’s reward of five more Super Rockets, she, regardless of claiming ‘This servant can’t do it’, had to do it with such grand gestures.
“A sigil, a way for you and us to survive,” Denghis Xisi said, ignoring Adding milk without extra charge, addressing Yekana directly.
“Sigil?” Yekana didn’t understand what Denghis was talking about.
“It is also the power you’ve always desired, your majesty,” Denghis Xisi’s fingers spread open as the crystal slowly landed in his palm. “This world is gradually heading towards destruction, and the cause of it is crystallization. We’ve barely survived the test of this strength, but other creatures might not endure. As I’ve mentioned before… no creature can survive alone; if the chain breaks, we will die of starvation.”
Adding milk without extra charge didn’t understand what this final boss was talking about, but her streaming channel’s experts had already started analyzing the storyline.
‘Isn’t this just a mass extinction?’
‘Eh? Did I just walk into a middle school biology classroom?’
‘Biland Island is filled with dragon species, so does the plot involve a meteor strike next?’
“Teacher, what exactly do you want me to do?” Yelena didn’t really understand what Denghis was trying to do.
“The decision is yours, your majesty… After you gain this power, you will be able to rival gods. From that moment, whether to establish a new country on this crystallized land or to lead us to a new world, the decision lies with you,” Denghis observed Yelena’s expression and continued, “Moreover, once you have this power… nobody will dare to bully you and… us again, neither the soldiers of the Day Empire nor the thugs in the back alleys.”
The beginning part might sound a bit charlatan, but the latter part truly touched Yelena; her desire for power wasn’t about lofty ideals—she simply didn’t want others to push her around.
‘It’s over, the NPC chasing after Laugh Master is transforming into the final boss.’
‘I bet fifty cents, there must be some mind control, or maybe swallowing that crystal will turn her into a monster!’
‘This plot… how to put it, feels all too familiar, Sister Milk! Are you good at trash-talking?’
I can’t trash-talk!
As Yelena took steps toward Denghis Xisi, Adding milk without extra charge knew what her role as the protagonist was supposed to be: deliver some impassioned and nostalgic speech to awaken Yekana.
But the problem was, she had only known Yekana for an hour; Adding milk without extra charge had an eloquence score of forty-five, but that was strictly limited to haggling!
If it were about haggling in a market, she was confident, but now…
‘Laugh Master, your concubine really can’t do this anymore.’ Adding milk without extra charge watched as Zhao Mingwei gifted another five Super Rockets. She could feel Zhao Mingwei’s anxiety and had a strong sense of guilt.
She was a shrewd merchant but one with her own principles, including providing value for money—if someone paid, she had to deliver something in return.
Like in her usual streams receiving gifts like planes, rockets, and such. Adding milk without extra charge would sell some cuteness, or do some not too excessive actions upon request.
A tip of 30,000, and add milk without raising the price, felt she wasn’t worth that much money for acting cute.
Just as she was about to explode from anxiety, a private chat message popped up; it was from Jiang Qiao.
“Leave the smack talk to me.” Jiang Qiao’s message was brief yet startling.
“Huh? Guildmaster, are you good at talking?”
“I’ve read this SR’s background information and know some of her weaknesses. Plus, I was on the debate team before, so theoretically, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Guildmaster, you better not be lying to me.”
“Have I ever lied to you? Just follow what I say next, try to infuse it with some emotion in context. The first line is, ‘Yelena, are you refusing to pay back the wages you owe to Dancing Nuclear?'”
Holy shit… was that line supposed to be so realistic?
Add milk without raising the price was still confident in her acting skills, especially in a scenario she excelled in. She promptly shouted at Yelena the line Jiang Qiao told her to say.
“Wages?” Yelena instantly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Add milk without raising the price.
“Take her away!”
Denghis Xisi immediately issued the command; this BOSS wasn’t playing by the rules… but Yelena ran back to Add milk without raising the price’s side again, blocking the approaching Magic Thieves.
“Teacher, just let me listen to her. Nothing bad will happen,” Yekana said.
“… Remember how many times these strangers have deceived you.” After saying that, Denghis Xisi didn’t stop Yelena anymore.
“This is the wages from working at Dancing Nuclear.” Yelena took out nine Gold Coins from her bag and gave them to Add milk without raising the price. “This may… be the only thing I can pay them back with.”
“Do you really feel at peace doing this?”
The next utterance from Add milk without raising the price made the coins in Yelena’s hand fall. Add milk without raising the price caught the slipped coins instantly, but she still continued talking to Yelena as per Jiang Qiao’s instruction.
“If you inherit that thing, you may gain immense power, but at the same time, you also inherit a responsibility. You should be aware that being a queen is a tiring job, let alone the queen of Magic Thieves,” Add milk without raising the price recited Jiang Qiao’s words, not quite understanding what they meant herself.
“So make a choice. Do you plan to accept that power or continue working at Dancing Nuclear Guild?” As Add milk without raising the price said this, she felt like punching Jiang Qiao!
What kind of rhetoric is this? Do you want to be a king, or do you want to be a worker?
Anyone would choose the former, right? Including Add milk without raising the price herself.
After pondering for a moment, Yelena took back the Gold Coins from Add milk without raising the price’s hand, the last one even being picked out from the palm of her hand.
“Yelena.” Denghis Xisi knew what Yelena’s action meant.
“Sorry, teacher, but I still want to live with those Spirits,” Yelena said as she bent down to pick up the coins from the ground.
Why? Wait, can I inherit that Crystal Stone? That would be fine too.
Add milk without raising the price really didn’t understand this SR character’s thought process.
At that moment, Jiang Qiao sent Add milk without raising the price a screenshot, which was about Yelena’s hiring introduction and her personality summary.
One of the lines in the summary was ‘Rather than risking high positions, she prefers to settle for a secure lifestyle, especially interested in some intriguing people, enhancing power only for a sense of security.’
This paragraph was supposed to help players figure out how to enhance NPCs’ affinity, so the strategy to woo Yelena was to build her a big house with no monsters nearby, with plentiful food and water.
In such a secure environment, Yelena’s affinity would increase rapidly, but obviously, the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold couldn’t meet these conditions, surrounded by monsters as it was.
Therefore, to increase Yelena’s affinity, it was necessary to teach her methods to counter these monsters.
The above is an affinity increasing strategy summarized by an unnamed member of Dancing Nuclear Guild; Spirits indeed don’t lack masters in nurturing games.
It’s just that Yelena’s hiring only lasts for one day, otherwise players might list everything Yelena likes from most to second most, to third most, and even provide specific values for how much each item would increase her affinity.
Conquering NPCs… Spirits are professionals at it.
Jiang Qiao could actually forcibly terminate Yelena’s hiring and collect her in the catalog… but it wasn’t necessary to do so; Yelena seemed to have the potential to become a key NPC on Biland Island.
