In Lin Youwei's timid and weak voice, there was an overwhelming sense of pain and despair.

  Lu Ming paused but did not turn back.

  Lin Youwei thought Lu Ming had stopped because he was willing to help her. She cried, "My brother never harmed anyone. He was always a good person. Why, why did they have to kill him...

  Ye ! They were all sent by Ye . It was Ye who killed my brother... I want to avenge him!

  If you help me kill Ye , I'll give you all the money I have!"

  As she spoke, tears streamed down Lin Youwei's pale cheeks.

  Through the ret battle, she could see that Lu Ming was very powerful, so she pced all her hopes for revenge on him.

  She opehe age liame at, showing a bance of 13,584.2. This was all the money Lin Youwei had earhrough part-time work and study before entering the Sky Abyss.

  Her parents had passed away in the Sky Abyss when she was young, leaving her and her brother to rely on each other. Not wanting her brother to have to both take care of their lives and earuition, she chose not to tinue her studies after high school and instead ventured into the Sky Abyss with her brother.

  But just as Lin Youwei was about to ask for Lu Ming's WeChat ID to trahe moo him, Lu Ming walked away without a word.

  Watg Lu Ming's indifferent back as he left, Lin Youwei's eyes filled with helplessness and grief.

  Lu Mihe Shadow Forest, with Lin Youwei's heart-wreng cries eg behind him.

  In his previous life, Lu Ming might have sympathized with this pirl. But now, he prioritized his own is above all else and wouldhize with anyone else.

  Ye , Lu Ming was determio find him. But not for Lin Youwei, rather to avenge himself!

  ***

  Lu Miuro Moonfall Town. It was already midnight. The town was still bustling with people.

  Ever sihe Sky Abyss desded a hundred years ago, the world had been divided into two.

  Acc to big data analysis: excluding the 31.82% of the global popution under 18, 35.97% chose to remain ordinary people in the real world. Yet, 32.21% chose to ehe Sky Abyss as professional pyers! Sky Abyss, had bee humanity's sed world for survival, and its popurity would only increase.

  Ba town, Lu Mi straight to the bar, found the security guard Dick, and submitted the task.

  Receiving the ring from Lu Ming, Dick's face lit up with joy.

  "Great! My ring is finally back!

  Thank you, young hero, here's a little reward for you!"

  As Dick finished speaking, the system's pleasant notification followed.

  [Ding~ gratutions on pleting the task "Who Stole the Ring?" at the tenth level, reward: Experience Points +1000, Silver +1, and equipment Hero's Sword (Bck Iron Equipment) +1!]

  Lu Ming's experience bar instantly surged by 83%! He opened his backpad took out a pitch-bck iron sword lying quietly inside.

  [Hero's Sword] (Bck Iron Equipment)

  [Level: 5]

  [Physical Attack: +28]

  [Bonus: Strength +6]

  [Durability: 15/15]

  [Profession: Trickster, Warrior]

  [Description: A sword only worthy of a hero, the bearer symbolizes the people's hero of Moonfall Town...]

  Lu Ming immediately repced his level 1 whiteboard iron sword, whily added 3 attack points, with the Hero's Sword. He checked his status bar and saw his attack power jump from 10 to 41!

  Lu Ming gained a 31-point increase in attack power, equivalent to the War Tread's attack bonus against the Undead Warrior, an equal 31-point increase.

  Not bad at all!

  As for the whiteboard iron sword he repced. Lu Ming noticed that after a night's use, its durability had dropped from 7 to 6.

  "I bought it for a hundred, selling it for 80 after losing 1 point of durability isn't unreasonable, right?"

  With this thought, Lu Ming listed the iron sword orading market for 80 bucks.

  Refleg on it, the first level reward for this task was only 50 experience + 5 copper s, and the equipment was just a small ce of whiteboard quality.

  In trast, the tenth-level reward was truly entig!

  No wonder professional boosters outside charge at least a thousand bucks for a full ten-level task run for anything under level 10!

  After all, withien-hour task time, going from killing 10 monsters at level oo 300 monsters at level ten is something ordinary pyers simply 't achieve. Acc to big data, the single-pyer limit is only up to the sixth level!

  Feeling his growling stomach. Lu Ming opehe [Logout] interfad exited the game.

  Whoosh!

  A white light fell, and Lu Miuro the Ant I Cafe where he had logged into the game.

  In the early m, there were only a few people oreet, most of whom were staying up te pying Sky Abyss.

  Lu Mio a roast duoodle shop across the street and used the st 13 yuan in his WeChat to order a bowl of roast duoodles.

  As Lu Ming ate and pondered how to deal with Ye Ling'er and Ye , he overheard a versation from a group of young men and women at the able.

  "Who is this [ Emperor]? My goodness, ten thousand people online in the live stream! It shows the streamer is 13 km away from me... Do we have such a big i celebrity in Linhai City?"

  As soon as a bespectacled young man finished speaking, the twin-tailed girl sitting opposite him proudly said, "You don't know? I've been following this streamer for a while!"

  "I've been following him for months, and although his popurity wasn't great before, I always thought he had potential! Turns out I was right, he's finally famous!"

  Hearing the name " Emperor," Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

  As if realizing something, he picked up his phone, opeikTok, searched for Emperor, aered a live stream.

  The live stream showed a young boy with a delicate and youthful appearance. And this boy was Ye Ling'er's brother, Lu Ming's brother-in-w from his previous life, Ye !

  Ye had been streaming for two years, which Lu Ming knew. He was on the looks-based streamer path.

  After all, it must be said that both he and his sister Ye Ling'er had some charm, otherwise, Lu Ming from the previous life wouldn't have fallen for Ye Ling'er's allure.

  However, in Lu Ming's impression, Ye had always been a small-time streamer with little traffic or fame.

  But now, the live stream had over 100,000 viewers online!

  The popurity was so high that the s was almost entirely covered by high-end gifts like supercars, yachts, and rockets.

  The chat was flooded with tless messages scrolling crazily, with hundreds of ents in the blink of an eye!

  Lu Ming g it and uedly found himself caught in the gossip!

  [ Emperor's Little Fan Girl]: " Emperor, I heard your sister's boyfriend died in Sky Abyss st night? Is it true?"

  [Seeking a Rian to Support Me]: "His sister already firmed it in the live stream st night, so it 't be fake, right? She looked sad, seems like a devoted person!"

  [If I'm Unhappy, I'll Rant]: "To be ho, I only noticed you because your sister actally appeared in your live stream once. With her looks, her ex-boyfriend didn't deserve her at all! He deserved to die, your sister deserves better!"

  Seeing these ents, Lu Ming thought Ye would pretend to be a good person and say something insincere.

  But to his surprise, Ye didn't even bother pretending and directly ranted in front of over 100,000 viewers!

  "You're right! So many people pursued my sister, but she rejected them all because she had a boyfriend! Although my sister was willing to endure hardships with him, she couldn't suffer with him for a lifetime!"

  Ye sighed, pretending to be disappointed, and said, "Holy, my sister's ex-boyfriend had no money or power, and my sister never minded. But the key is, he was unambitious, idle all day, and expected my sister to support him.

  Sigh, if only my sister wasn't so devoted..."

  Ye 's ment instantly resonated with tless fans in the live stream. For a moment, the chat was filled with curses!

  "Truly a flower stu cow dung!"

  "I used to sympathize with your sister's boyfriend, but now it seems he deserved to die!"

  "Exactly! If it were me, I'd have kicked such a freeloader away long ago!"

  ...

  Seeing Ye 's hypocritical behavior, Lu Ming was amused by his own anger.

  "I'm unambitious? I'm idle?"

  Although Lu Ming's aptitude wasn't great in his previous life, he could fidently say that no one was more hardw er to improve than him!

  Enough. Lu Ming couldn't be bothered to think about these things now. He had more important matters to attend to.

  Just then, Lu Ming received a text message.

  [Your item "Moon Demon Bde" listed in the Sky Abyss trading market has been successfully sold, with a 5% handling fee deducted; your at ending in 649 has received 2,660.00 yuan, bance 2,660.00 yuan!]

  Seeing this message, Lu Ming was delighted, "This transa is really a timely help!"

  So, Lu Ming immediately switched to a TikTok alt at, ged the niame to [My Heart], set the geo female, and ged the profile picture to a cute girl type that seemed easy to manipute.

  He entered Ye 's live stream. Choosing a time when there weren't many people sending gifts, he gritted his teeth a a [True Love Forever] gift worth 899!

  Then, he shamelessly sent a ent: "Streamer, I'm your new fan, I ask if you're a Sky Abyss pyer?"

  Sure enough, Lu Ming's gift made him stand out from the tens of thousands of viewers.

  He successfully caught Ye 's attention and made him notice his message.

  Ye first thahe young dy named My Heart for the gift, thely and patiently answered the question:

  "I wasn't before, but I will be soon.

  Early this m, I just registered a two-star Sky Abyss at and pn to officially ehe Sky Abyss world at 8 AM today!"

  With that, Ye took the opportunity to fidently annouo all the viewers in the live stream, "To all my fans in Linhai City, let's meet in the Sky Abyss world at 8 AM!"

  "I decre here that any fans I enter online will receive a gift worth 1-10 silver s! If you want it, type 1!"

  As soon as he said this, the chat was instantly flooded with tless 1s...

  Having achieved his goal, Lu Ming quietly exited the live stream.

  A revenge pn had fully formed in his mind.
