Chapter 53: Fought Over by Men

Mo Yubai accepted his friend request, wanting to see what tricks this scammer had up his sleeve.

“Sister Mo, can we work together? From now on, you’ll be in charge of recruiting people in the chat channel, and I’ll handle the processing. You can take as many orders as you can get.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t have to stress over the orders once they come in. I’ll handle the production. All you have to do is say the word, and I’ll give you a fifty-fifty split. How about it?”

A cold sneer played on Mo Yubai’s lips when she read this. Work together? A split?

It seemed like she could get resources just by posting a single message, but in reality, wasn’t he just asking her to scam people with him?

Actually, Mo Yubai hadn’t cared much about Zhao Facai impersonating her. It had even saved her from being harassed. Every time she checked her friend requests now, she saw “999+” applications, which was incredibly annoying!

It was one thing for him to steal her identity to brag, but he had used her name to get so many players killed!

This was what truly disgusted Mo Yubai. Though she hadn’t directly caused their deaths, they had died because of her name.

While she didn’t feel any personal guilt, she found Zhao Facai absolutely repulsive.

So, Mo Yubai rejected him without a second thought.

“Get lost! Who do you think you are, calling me Sister Mo? What, is your reputation so trashed that you want to drag me down with you? Once everyone is ruined and people’s standards drop, they’ll come crawling back to you?”

Looking at Mo Yubai’s message, Zhao Facai instantly felt the sting of humiliation turning into rage at having his true intentions exposed.

Back on Blue Star, he had always had a terrible temper. Having grown up in a martial arts school and spoiled like a little prince by his mother, combined with his decent fighting skills, he had bullied and crippled quite a few classmates.

Even after his mother knelt and apologized to the victims’ families, she would only praise him, saying, “My son is so capable, a real man!”

After getting married, he made plenty of money by scamming elderly people out of their pensions. He ruled his household with an iron fist, beating his wife whenever he felt like it.

Because of this, Mo Yubai’s rejection sent him into a towering rage.

In his eyes, women weren’t even human; they were naturally a level below men.

And now, a woman dared to refuse him?

“Mo Yubai, don’t push your luck! It’s your good fortune that I’m willing to work with you! Look at yourself, a woman so aggressive and competitive. What man would ever want you? You’ll probably end up an old maid who can’t get married for the rest of your life!”

Mo Yubai stared at Zhao Facai’s message in disbelief, blinking in confusion. Why was he suddenly wishing her well in the middle of his insults?

But these people were truly hilarious. Did they really think that calling a woman competitive, saying no man would want her, or that she would never marry was some kind of ultimate insult?

“Well, I’m certainly not as easy to marry off as you. Men are practically fighting over you~”

“But you did remind me. I still haven’t settled the score with you for stealing my identity to scam people. Keep one eye open when you sleep tonight.”

After sending the message, Mo Yubai didn’t even wait for Zhao Facai to reply. She deleted and blocked him in one swift motion.

Hehe, that would drive him crazy!

She took stock of the payments received in the mini-fridge: Magic Source Stone x6, Energy Stone x2, Refrigerant x120, Spring x86, Gauze x30, Forging Stone x8, Sand of Time x25.

Not bad, not bad at all!

Plus, she had just broken down the large ice spheres into fifty small ice spheres each, yielding a total of 1,600 small ice spheres.

She listed them all in the Cat Snack Shop to continue trading for these resources. At least she wouldn’t run out of Refrigerant tomorrow.

Mo Yubai rolled over, settling into a comfortable position. Thinking about how those ice spheres had inadvertently dealt a massive blow to Zhao Facai’s business, she drifted off into a sweet sleep.

As for using a Tracking Gold Coin to go find Zhao Facai? Was he kidding?

On a night this cold, everyone was tucked under their blankets. Once she finally got warm, there was no way she was coming out!

So, Zhao Facai could just spend the night trembling in fear!

However, if he decided to launch a midnight raid on his own, Mo Yubai would welcome it with open arms. It would be the perfect chance to test the power of the Large Chain Trap she had just pulled today!

Zhao Facai stared at Mo Yubai’s message claiming that men were fighting over him and that he was easy to marry off!

Blood rushed to his head in an instant, his face turning bright red with rage. He furiously tapped out a long string of curses and hit send!

[Message failed to send]

Staring at the glaring red text on the game panel, Zhao Facai kicked the workbench next to him hard!

“Stupid bitch, pushing your luck!”

“Fuck!” The moment his toes collided with the stone, Zhao Facai instantly lifted his foot, hopping around in agony!

Glare as he might at the stone workbench, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to smash it.

Instead, he opened the chat channel to vent his fury.

“Mo Yubai, you bitch! You had the guts to block me, now have the guts to add me back!”

“Fine, aren’t you coming for me? I won’t sleep tonight, I’ll be waiting for you!”

“Who do you think you are? A woman acting so arrogant. Who knows how many people you had to sleep with to get that number one spot?”

“Zhao Facai, what kind of fit are you throwing in the middle of the night?”

“Seriously, why do you men always start by spreading sexual rumors whenever you insult a woman?”

“Because it gets most men off, and then they’ll all gang up on her regardless of right or wrong!”

“Plus one. I’m a guy, but the person above is right. If I say I was bullied by someone in power, nobody cares. But if I say that person in power is a woman, and make up a rumor that she slept her way to the top, a whole bunch of brothers will charge into battle for me!”

“Zhao Facai, tell us what Boss Mo said to break your defense like this?”

“You idiots! Paupers! Simps! Just because Mo Yubai gave you a tiny discount on some resources during trades, you’re all groveling on the ground to lick her boots?”

“A bunch of trash who aren’t even on the leaderboards dare to talk about me? Who do you think you are?”

“If anyone else dares to speak, I’ve got plenty of Tracking Gold Coins anyway. I’ll come offline to deal with you directly!”

Watching Zhao Facai go completely mad, the chat channel finally quieted down for a bit, fearing they might bring trouble upon themselves.

As a result, the chat channel was now filled with screen after screen of Zhao Facai’s abuse.

[Ding! System has detected that player Zhao Facai has been spamming the chat channel with profanity for over ten minutes, severely affecting the gaming experience of other players. Muted for one week, fined 10,000 gold coins.]

“Hahaha, this is hilarious! What a show!”

“Everyone, go look at the Wealth Leaderboard! Zhao Facai fell off the list!”

“So satisfying! He finally can’t show off anymore!”

“Hahaha, I’m currently at a Service Area. I asked the robot, and this mute doesn’t just apply to the chat channel. He can’t even send private messages to friends. Everything except face-to-face communication is blocked!”

“Awesome! I’ve hated him for a long time. How many people did he get killed with that stunt of his?”

“Boss Mo is truly amazing. I’m really curious about what she said to shatter his defense like this.”

“Same here.”

“What’s there to be curious about? There are only a few things men care about: you’re ugly! You’re short! You’re a toothpick! You’re impotent!”

“I vote for toothpick.”

“I vote for impotent.”

“A vote from you, a vote from me, tomorrow Facai debuts for all to see.”

…

Mo Yubai was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly jolted awake by the system announcement!

Pulling the throwing knife from under her pillow, she warily scanned the area around her tent.

What happened? What did Zhao Facai do?
