Chapter 497: Pixie Qin Scammed

"Princess, not asleep yet?" Pixie's voice came through the phone, light and casual.

Yaeger, with a wry smile, responded, knowing well that a call at this hour meant sleep was out of the question. "No, what's up?"

Pixie's tone brightened, "Oh good, I didn't want to disturb you. Remember I mentioned wanting to play the game? I'm about to start soon and could really use your advice. Little Sachiel said you're quite the expert."

Yaeger couldn't help but be amused by the sudden sweetness in Pixie's voice. "Before we get into that, how much money do you have available?"

"Are you charging for this consultation, Princess? How much?" Pixie joked.

"No, just curious," Yaeger replied with a hint of humor.

"Well, I haven’t checked in a while, but it should be a few hundred million," Pixie admitted, her tone casual.

Yaeger couldn't help but think, ‘As expected of the Qin Family's young lady, one of the Four Major Families. She’s really loaded!' It was a stark reminder of her own less affluent status. Despite the wealth gap, she refocused on the matter at hand. "Alright, let’s dive right in. Once you're in the game, prioritize the Bloodline lottery. Don’t stop until you secure the highest-grade Bloodline. In this game, the quality of your Bloodline can make a world of difference, so don’t hesitate to invest in this step."

Pixie chuckled, "I’ve heard Mylene went through a fortune to get hers."

Reading the message, Yaeger couldn't help but react with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "You don't need to sleep?" she murmured to herself, shaking her head.

As Yaeger exchanged messages with Sachiel, Pixie was already diving into the game. She had taken Yaeger's advice to heart and immediately began drawing from the Bloodline lottery in the white dimension. However, her initial attempts yielded nothing but a string of thirty useless items, a frustrating experience reminiscent of Nangong’s earlier struggles. Unfazed, Pixie continued with another series of draws, only to be met with more disappointment.

Then, tapping the button lazily for another try, the roulette finally halted, revealing her prize: the [Flame Dragon Bloodline], of Supreme quality. "Wow, I got it so quickly. Looks like I am much luckier than Little Lin!" Pixie couldn't hide her delight. Though she considered herself fortunate, it had still taken her seventy attempts to secure this coveted Bloodline, compared to Nangong’s hundred draws for her highest-grade Elf Bloodline.

Utilizing the Bloodline crystal, Pixie watched as her character’s appearance transformed—her black hair turning a fiery red, her pupils resembling miniature suns, and red dragon scales adorning her forehead. "I'm quite good looking," she observed with satisfaction, admiring her character's model on the interface.

Now fully prepared, Pixie set her character's details and stepped into the game world, landing in Novice Village 111. "It's not Novice Village 101. I'm quite lucky," she mused, aware of the scarce opportunities in the latter due to Yaeger and Rakshasa's thorough exploration. Selecting the Warrior occupation to serve as a tank for the Guild, she began to acquaint herself with the game's complexity.

"This game is truly complex," she noted, feeling surrounded by spiritual power, a stark contrast to reality. Despite the lifelike experience, she reminded herself, "No matter how lifelike it is, it's still a game."

With a determined exhale, Pixie fully immersed herself in the game. Following the strategy outlined by Yaeger, she quickly gathered many useful items. Her efforts in the wilderness bore fruit as she rapidly advanced to Level 5. Returning to town, she upgraded her gear to Uncommon Equipment, equipping herself for the challenges ahead.

Pixie's next move was to assemble a capable team. In the town square, she enlisted a group of experienced players, all of whom were Level 10. These veterans, preferring not to venture into Jade City — not out of fear of Yaeger, but because the opportunities in their current location were more lucrative — agreed to join her. After a brief discussion regarding compensation and the division of loot, the team departed Broken Leaf City and ventured into the wilderness, setting their sights on hunting wolves.

As Pixie engaged in the thrilling hunt of Wind Wolves, Yaeger wrapped up her lengthy conversation with Sachiel. "Huff... Why do girls have so many things to talk about?" she mused, somewhat amused. The chat had only concluded because she had feigned the need to sleep; otherwise, their conversation could have easily stretched until dawn.

Setting her phone aside, Yaeger allowed herself a moment of tranquility before diving into the game world. As she closed her eyes, her mind transitioned from the reality of her room to the virtual expanse of the wilderness. A gust of cold wind greeted her arrival, and with a sudden flash, her avatar materialized, a striking figure in the rugged landscape.
