Su Shu thus stayed silently at the bottom of Wangshan Cliff for three days.
During these three days, she was almost killed several times by the half-human, half-bear wild monsters.
Su Shu was not angry, however; she simply recorded these debts one by one, waiting for the time to return them all to those people who had forced her to the bottom of the cliff.
Therefore, after Su Shu’s forum ban was lifted, she logged back onto the forum, personally entering the fray to post a thread.
She didn’t say anything in the thread, providing only a single screenshot.
It was a screenshot Su Shu had taken when she was preparing to catch chicks on Rice Blossom Mountain, the very first time she ran into Rumeng Zhimeng.
There weren’t many people in the picture, but those who could follow Rumeng Zhimeng just to fight over a few broken chicken feathers were mostly Rumeng Zhimeng’s trusted confidants.
—Su Shu hadn’t thought this would come in handy when she took the screenshot, but her professional instincts from her past life always made her pay attention to every detail.
She also hadn’t expected that a casual screenshot could actually be useful.
Last time when Su Shu sold gophers, she had even fished in troubled waters herself, anonymously fanning the flames. This time she didn’t need to do anything, and the thread’s post count surged upward rapidly—
1L: Taking a group photo!
3L: Big boss!
18L: So you didn’t quit the game!?
21L: Big boss, where on earth are you hiding? I’m really curious!
…
It wasn’t until forty or fifty posts later that someone truly paid attention to the content of Su Shu’s picture—
49L: Holy crap, does the big boss posting this picture mean what I think it means?
51L: A D—Death List?
55L: When taking the screenshot, the big boss was only Level 7, right?
60L: So does it mean retribution isn’t absent, just that the time hasn’t come yet…?
77L: I bet one gold coin that the big boss is going to settle accounts after autumn!
80L: So this person named Huaishu… is going to take on a whole group alone?
88L: Isn’t that a bit too boastful? It’s only been a few days, what level is she? How much gear does she have? Nowadays, aren’t people afraid of blowing their own trumpets until they die?
90L: Cronies upstairs, wake up! Did you forget your goddess having her neck snapped with bare hands by the big boss?
101L: Place your bets, place your bets! In the battle between Huaishu and Rumeng Zhimeng, who wins and who loses?
…
233L: …Am I the only one who noticed that the pot of mountain mushroom rabbit at the bottom of the big boss’s screenshot looks really delicious? I really want to eat it… [drooling] [drooling]
…
The post undeservedly became the number one trending thread on the forum, but those replying later were all sending greetings to Su Shu.
Su Shu didn’t even bother to care, merely noting down a few IDs that were jumping around the most fiercely, thinking of killing them casually when she had time.
As for the others, Su Shu didn’t pay much attention—
Either way, the final facts would teach them how to behave.
However, she still couldn’t hold back and replied to 233L:
Huaishu quoted 233L: Last time when I cooked it, there was no ginger or green onion, so it was a bit gamy. If there’s a chance, I’ll roast a whole rabbit for you.
Onlookers: …
Damn it, is our fiery placing of bets not even worth a sentence praising your food for being delicious?
#Do we drama-watching, popcorn-eating haters mean nothing to you
#Anti-fans will also feel very lost if they aren’t acknowledged.
While the popcorn-eating crowd was in high spirits, the people involved in the picture were not so happy.
Some of them had been by Rumeng Zhimeng’s side all along, and from Wuji suffering a loss to Rumeng Zhimeng’s violent death, they were direct eyewitnesses—
Anyone could boast, and when gathered together they all claimed they would chop Huaishu into ten thousand pieces, but when they actually saw the screenshot posted by Huaishu—
They felt a chill down their necks.
Yet none of them dared to tell Rumeng Zhimeng.
Rumeng Zhimeng’s bounty amount had reached 8,000 gold, and people accepting the quest flocked in, yet they couldn’t even catch a trace of Huaishu’s shadow.
Everyone thought Huaishu had quietly quit the game, but who would have thought that without a sound, she had even prepared a war gauntlet!
—That screenshot, which said nothing yet represented everything, what was it if not a war gauntlet?!
This was not only a war gauntlet, but also a slap across her face—
Under her high bounty, the other party was completely fearless!
For a time, the eyes of all players in *Dreaming of the Rivers and Lakes* gathered on the Zhaixinchen server—
Everyone was guessing how that earth-shattering Huaishu was going to deal with Zhaixinchen’s number one beauty.
The people around Rumeng Zhimeng were instantly on edge. Whether clearing dungeons or going out to wild maps, they teamed up with extreme caution—
Fearing that Huaishu might spring out from some unknown place and finish them off in creative ways.
Although sticking together was a bit cowardly, it was the correct move—
It was an undeniable fact that Huaishu had a low level and poor gear; if she wanted to gain victory, she could only rely on surprise.
However, they remained terrified for several days…
Yet Huaishu vanished again.
It was as if that post really was just a post.
Huaishu’s popularity on the forum gradually faded, and people began posting to mock Huaishu’s fake posturing behavior—
If you want to fight, then fight. What’s the point of posting an intimidating photo?
—Yet the people around Rumeng Zhimeng were going insane!
They were the ones who had directly faced Huaishu’s ferocity, and they didn’t doubt in the slightest that the one named Huaishu was actually holding back a big move—
This feeling was as if no matter what they did, a blade was glaringly suspended above their heads—
They just didn’t know when this blade would fall.
Rumeng Zhimeng was truly going crazy—
She turned her gaze toward Wuji: “What on earth does that Huaishu want?”
Wuji was sunbathing in the courtyard and raised his eyelids upon hearing this: “I’m not her, how would I know?”
Rumeng Zhimeng: “…”
She still needed to rely on Wuji, so she couldn’t afford to mess with him.
Adjusting her expression, Rumeng Zhimeng reverted to her delicate and lovely appearance: “Aren’t you curious about what she’s saying?”
She let out a soft laugh, as if casually reminding him: “She did hurt you, after all…”
Men were all arrogant; she didn’t believe Wuji wouldn’t hold a grudge.
Wuji glanced at her: “What do you want me to do?”
Rumeng Zhimeng: “I want your brothers to help me search for where she actually is.”
Wuji burst out laughing.
Rumeng Zhimeng didn’t understand why he was laughing.
Hadn’t it always been like this between them?
Wuji said, “I added her as a friend, so I’ve known where she is all along.”
Rumeng Zhimeng: “???”
“Where is she?!” She blurted out: “Why didn’t you tell me?!”
She actually wanted to choke Wuji’s neck directly—
“My knowing where she is is my own business,” Wuji raised the corners of his eyes, speaking with a touch of mockery: “Why should I tell you?”
Rumeng Zhimeng: “…”
Fuck!
