Chapter 90 – Perfect Execution

As the corpse lady’s singing echoed, Drink Your Sister 3X was lifted back to the cliff’s summit by a cloud, perfectly ascending—Level 69!

The entire cliffside fell silent, as if a super cold front had swept through, freezing every living thing in its path. No more spam, no more typing, no more suicidal jumps.

Finally, a shocked scream pierced the silence—

[Local] Harry Porret: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Broomstick’s outburst flipped the world’s switch back on. The crowd, like zombies, instinctively swarmed toward the newly landed Drink Your Sister 3X, resembling the Chinese version of Dawn of the Dead.

[Local] Drink Your Sister 3X: Don’t come any closer! I’ll scream for help if you do!!!

[Local] Drink Till You Drop: Go ahead. Scream all you want. No one’s coming to save you.

[Local] Drink Your Sister 3X: Ahhh—

Birdy: “Can you two save the roleplay for later?”

Drink Your Sister 3X: “Sure.”

Fang Zheng: “God, can’t you just give me one normal teammate…”

438: “Commander, you just said your inner monologue out loud.”

Fang Zheng: “…”

Blood Bull: “Your Sister, how’d you jump down? Explain in detail.”

Drink Your Sister 3X paused for a few seconds before asking, “If I tell you, does it count as me making up for my mistake?”

Fang Zheng frowned. This girl was really hung up on leaking the leveling quest. After being in the legion for so long, she still hadn’t absorbed the shameless atmosphere. Tsk, hopeless case ╮(╯_╰)╭

“It counts.” Though hopeless, the longer they spent together, the more he found her somewhat pitiable. Fang Zheng suspected this was because she was being compared to the strong, flawless Sister Blood Bull.

With the commander’s reassurance, Drink Your Sister 3X began recalling earnestly: “Right next to the protruding part on the stone slab, there’s a small, inconspicuous indentation. You can use it to get a foothold, but unlike the protrusion, it won’t bounce you far away—just a tiny bit, maybe half a meter. Then, if you jump twice in a row forward, you’ll land on the slab.”

Fang Zheng visualized the scenario but felt something was off: “Wouldn’t jumping forward twice just send you flying even farther?”

“Ah, no,” Drink Your Sister 3X added, as if just remembering, “When you step on the indentation, your perspective should already be turned 180 degrees, so you’re facing the cliff wall. After bouncing off, ‘forward’ means toward the cliff wall, so you jump twice in that direction.”

“Sounds pretty straightforward.”

“It’s not that hard to do either… Wait, who just said that?”

“Hehe, thanks for the tip, girl!”

The voice was unfamiliar, but Fang Zheng immediately tabbed out of the game and caught the fading shadow of the player’s YY username—I’m Not a Rookie.

Seriously, if you’re gonna spy, at least be professional about it!!

Look at the others—Naughta, Chink, I’m a Pig, Endless Days—this is how you eavesdrop! Even if you’re caught, you don’t need to flee. You could stare till your eyes bleed and still not figure out who’s who!

[Legion] Polly: 17698XX, password XXXX. New encrypted YY channel. Everyone move there.

[Legion] Milk is Mom: Why didn’t you say so earlier?! Too late now!! [crying]

[Local] 2B Fighter Jet: Diamond’s changed channels. 17698XX, password XXXX.

[Local] Blood Bulls Don’t Graze: …

[Local] Crossplayer’s Blessing: …

[Local] Fifth Brother’s Trading Post: …

[Local] Diamond Seller: Commander, looks like you’ll have to apply for another one ╮(╯_╰)╭

After stumbling through setting up the new-new channel, the cliff-jumping resumed in full force, with brave souls evenly distributed across every legion.

The Ghost Server Legion Leader had to admit a harsh truth—his legion had absolutely zero talent for keeping secrets =_=

Or, to put it another way, they were absolute masters at leaking them.

At this point, assigning blame was pointless. Everyone was back on the same starting line, and they just had to accept it. Fang Zheng sighed, about to maneuver Milk is Mom back to the cliff to try Drink Your Sister 3X’s trick, when a message popped up in local chat—

[Local] Unintentional Mistake: Don’t bother. That method’s only theoretically possible. It’s practically unworkable—a trap!

The commander was furious. Even if secrets got leaked, there was still such a thing as credibility!

Milk is Mom returned to the cliff’s edge, zooming in to carefully search for the indentation Drink Your Sister 3X had mentioned. Screw it, he’d just jump first and figure it out later!

The perspective shift happened almost simultaneously. The moment Milk is Mom left the cliff’s edge, Fang Zheng had already turned the camera around—so fast he wanted to kowtow to himself.

But 0.01 seconds later, he was crying. Before he could even locate the indentation, it had already whizzed past his field of vision, followed by the stone slab, also whizzing past, and then… nothing.

The only consolation was that many others shared his fate =_=

“Are you sure you can land on the indentation?” Fang Zheng’s heart was now seeded with doubt.

“Absolutely,” Drink Your Sister 3X replied without hesitation. “Turn the camera and step on it right away. As long as you nail the jump-off point, there’s plenty of time.”

What could the commander say? Even if he had a bellyful of complaints, he could only grit his teeth and muster a solemn: “Alright, I’ll… try… again!”

Second attempt: same as the first.

Third attempt: Fang Zheng sped up his camera-turning reflexes and finally touched the indentation! But didn’t land on it…

Fourth attempt: Fang Zheng maxed out his camera-turning speed and finally landed on the indentation! Just as Drink Your Sister 3X had said, he bounced off and jumped twice forward! Everything was perfect! Except for not landing on the slab…

Fifth attempt: missed the indentation again.

Sixth attempt: Forget landing on the slab, after two jumps, he was already below it, not even grazing the edge.

Seventh attempt…

Eighth attempt…

Though a leader should lead by example, the teammates realized that compared to their tragically heroic commander, they much preferred the sneaky, shameless version TAT

438: “Commander, stop jumping. You’re about to lose a whole level…”

Crossplayer: “Look at the deputy—he died once and stopped trying…”

[Whisper] Polly: Talk about the commander if you must, but don’t drag the deputy into this.

[Whisper] Crossplayer’s Blessing: Deputy, I was wrong!

[Whisper] Polly: ^_^

The expressionless deputy was terrifying. His occasional smiles? Even worse TAT

Random players could afford to die repeatedly, but seeing the commander sacrifice himself over and over, Drink Your Sister 3X grew anxious: “Commander, what’s going on? Didn’t I explain it clearly? How are you this bad?!”

Fang Zheng wept internally.

Was it his fault?! Look around—was there anyone else who’d succeeded?! This had to be a problem with the method!!!

After much deliberation, Birdy also voiced his doubts: “Your Sister, are you sure this method works?”

Drink Your Sister 3X was furious!

“Your Uncle, give me your account info!”

Your Uncle had no idea how the topic had shifted to him, but that didn’t stop him from reflexively spilling everything Drink Your Sister 3X wanted to know.

Drink Your Sister 3X logged off.

Lucky Charm logged off.

Lucky Charm logged back in.

Five minutes later, the newly piloted Lucky Charm arrived at the cliff’s edge. With a nimble leap, the character’s toes touched the indentation while already turning to face the cliff wall. No one saw when the turn happened—there wasn’t even time to think about it. In the next instant, the Spirit Master executed two flawless forward jumps mid-air, as if stepping on solid ground, landing firmly on the slab. From jump to landing, the entire process took less than two seconds!

“See?” Drink Your Sister 3X exhaled, vindicated. “Once you get the timing and method down, it’s super easy.”

For once, Birdy turned to Fang Zheng: “Commander, what do you think?”

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Zheng bowed in admiration: “Your Sister, you’re a god.”

[System] Little Lucky Charm blows a horn.

[System] Corpse: I don’t really want to go~~~~

[System] Corpse: I really want to stay~~

[System] Corpse: Stay with you through every season~~

Your Uncle had also ascended.

The despairing crowd sitting dazed at the cliff’s edge was now numb to the scene. Ghost server—ghost server. As mere foolish earthlings, they were in no position to compare.

A handful of hot-blooded men still clinging to hope for the challenge quest earnestly pleaded: Ghost server folks, give us another demo!

“Actually, that’s not accurate. Our legion’s success is all thanks to Your Sister.”

As the commander spoke, Drink Your Sister 3X was diligently logging into her teammates’ accounts one by one, turning the slab-jumping technique into a well-oiled routine.

One family’s joy was many families’ sorrow. While the ghost server celebrated, many others were far from happy—

[Local] Deadleaf: Ghost server, you’re using hacks, aren’t you? The operators are cracking down hard right now. Watch out for bans.

Standing at the cliff’s edge about to jump, Drink Your Sister 3X saw this and abandoned the quest to fire back—

[Local] Polly: Pfft, sour grapes much?

[Local] Deadleaf: Am I calling them sour, or are they actually sour?

[Local] Deadleaf: Out of all the experts here, how come only the ghost server folks are succeeding? Suspicious, no?

[Local] Polly: This lady’s got skills! What, can’t keep up so you cry hacks?!

…

[Legion] 2B Fighter Jet: If Parrot were here, he’d be spitting blood at ‘this lady,’ hahahaha

[Legion] Blood Bulls Don’t Graze: Let’s just not tell him.

[Legion] Refined Into a Demon 715: But the poor deputy, being mocked in the dark…

[Legion] 2B Fighter Jet: Who’s mocking him? This is camaraderie! Camaraderie, got it?! Hahaha, oh man, I gotta screenshot this!

[Legion] Milk is Mom: 2B!

[Legion] 2B Fighter Jet: Damn, no need to get mad over a joke. You two aren’t even married yet…

[Legion] Milk is Mom: How dare you steal my screenshot-mocking opportunity!?

[Legion] Refined Into a Demon 715: The deputy isn’t pitiful—he’s tragic…

[Legion] Blood Bulls Don’t Graze: [candle]

[Legion] Five Peaks Trading Post: [candle]

[Legion] Crossplayer’s Blessing: [candle]

The legion was in high spirits, but outside, Drink Your Sister 3X was still arguing with Deadleaf.

[Local] Deadleaf: You say you’ve got skills—got proof?

[Local] Polly: This quest is the proof! What more do you need?!

[Local] Deadleaf: Like I said, you’re using hacks.

[Local] Polly: AAAAAAAAAHHHH YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!

[Local] Drink Till You Drop: She can full-combo 220 BPM in Audition Online every time. If you need proof, I can provide screenshots.

As a two-time legion leader’s wife, Deadleaf wasn’t without her own reputation. She knew when to back down. Drink Your Sister 3X and Polly were small-time players in a small legion, but Drink Till You Drop was different. The prestige he’d built in Huaxia Summit even surpassed Xuanyuan’s golden era—not necessarily in terms of legion size or gear, but in reputation and connections. Picking a fight with him meant courting public outrage, where even a single spit from each person would drown her.

[Local] Drink Till You Drop: Any other questions?

[Local] Deadleaf: If the leader of Five Peaks Pavilion says so, who am I to argue?

[Local] Deadleaf: But I am curious—what’s your relationship? You even have Audition screenshots. Seems pretty close?

At his computer, Drink Till You Drop pursed his lips. A few seconds later, as if steeling himself, he began typing.

Then, everyone except the offline Birdy-kun witnessed Drink Till You Drop’s confession—

[Local] Drink Till You Drop: She’s the most important woman in my life.

Another mushroom cloud rose over Huaxia Summit.

[Local] Carved in Bone: Since when is Parrot the most important woman in his life…

[Local] Seven Injuries Fist: And how could he be a woman? We’ve raided together on YY!

[Local] Carved in Bone: Exactly. Even if our legion didn’t like him, wasn’t he always the leader’s best buddy?

[Local] Big H: Leader’s buddy? Which leader? My Blood for Xuanyuan? Milk Mom, isn’t he your lover? How’s Drink Till You Drop and Xuanyuan involved now?

[Local] War-Sister Liuli: Was he catfishing to trick Drink Till You Drop? Voice changers are everywhere these days.

[Local] War-Bodhi Patriarch: Then what’s up with him and the ghost server leader? Didn’t he confess on world chat?

[Local] Harry Porret: God, quitting my legion was the smartest move. Your circles are way too messy!

[Ghost Server YY]

438: “Deputy…”

Birdy: “Done with the quest?”

438: “No, I mean… maybe don’t log in for now…”

Birdy: “Reason.”

Everyone: “The heat’s too intense…”
