Chapter 6: I need money!
Fu Jiu was in dire need of electronic parts to assemble a high-spec laptop. The one at home was still adequate for gaming, but it would leave traces if she used it to hack websites. Therefore, making money had become her top priority.
"What did you say? Making money?" exclaimed Chen Xiaodong.
The old driver, Uncle Wang, and Chen Xiaodong were shocked by Fu Jiu's remark. Uncle Wang slammed on the brakes, and both turned and stared at Fu Jiu as if she were an alien. Fu Jiu, holding a can of cola, furrowed her delicate eyebrows. "What? Is it so strange that I want to make money?"
"A little," Chen Xiaodong replied, not entirely honest. In reality, it was extremely weird. Not long ago, Fu Jiu used to spend 1,000 CNY a day to show off her nouveau riche status. Anyone who had witnessed that would have been tempted to beat her up, and now she was claiming she wanted to make money? Was she joking?
Fu Jiu chuckled lightly. "People change. I've become so poor lately that I need to find something to do."
"Young Master!" Uncle Wang quivered with excitement. "If Madam heard you, she would definitely sleep soundly tonight."
Fu Jiu took a sip of her cola. "My mum has business in other provinces, so please don't bother her. It will take time to make money. Chen Xiaodong, can you request a two-day absence from school for me? That would be enough."
Driver Wang and Chen Xiaodong exchanged looks of disbelief. All this talk, and all she wanted was to ask for a leave of absence!
"Young Master, if you want to stay at home, just say it directly. Don’t lie to us and say you want to make money," Chen Xiaodong murmured softly.
Hearing that, Fu Jiu sighed hopelessly. She realized that no matter what she said, no one would believe her. After all, she was a kid who knew nothing but how to chase after handsome guys! But perhaps that was a nice cover.

━━━━༻❁༺━━━━
That night, in the dimly lit quarters of the second floor of the Fu residence, a pair of slender, fair hands danced gracefully over the keys of a vintage keyboard, the soft clicking resonating in the otherwise quiet room. Any avid gamer would have instantly recognized that this individual possessed extraordinary skills. The rhythm was intense as they meticulously executed a sequence of commands, culminating in a powerful strike that sent virtual enemies flying across the screen.
Bam! The impact reverberated through the virtual battleground as the on-screen action reached a fever pitch.
"What? Is he a professional gamer? How did he manage to conquer the Ghost Boss stage?" a voice from the audience exclaimed, disbelief evident in his tone.
"Nah, he’s not a professional. I actually paid for someone to escort me through a minor map, and honestly, I didn’t expect him to achieve the first clear,” another voice chimed in, clearly just as taken aback. “It’s surprising, right?"
"Where can I find this player? I want to hire him! What’s his in-game name? Has he got good equipment?" a third voice interjected, clearly eager to jump on the bandwagon.
"Well, here’s the kicker—he doesn’t have any gear at all. He looks like a complete newbie just looking to make some money," said another player, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Seriously? Can a novice really take down the Ghost Boss?" There was skepticism in the voice, disbelief mingling with curiosity.
"I swear it’s true! I just messaged him, and he’s already accepted a team extermination job. He’s on his second run now! Just wait for the game announcement," said the first player, his voice tinged with excitement.
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar jingle echoed through the server, announcing yet another first-clear achievement. The notifications continued to pour in—the second, third, fourth, and all the way up to the tenth time! Each announcement bore the name "Spade Z," shining brilliantly at the top of the game leaderboard. His mastery of the game was incredible, a breathtaking display that felt almost computer-generated, sending shockwaves of excitement through the gaming community.
Meanwhile, within the prestigious ranks of the professional alliance team, an adorable, young man with sparkling eyes and an infectious grin could hardly contain his enthusiasm. "Young Master Qin, look at this Spade Z! He’s incredible! We absolutely need to recruit him!" he exclaimed, practically bouncing in his seat.
At the mention of the name, Young Master Qin turned his attention away from the screen, a picture of relaxed confidence. With his legs casually crossed and his pitch-black eyes piercing through the glow of the computer screen, he exuded an aura of quiet authority. His pale skin accentuated the fierce intensity of his gaze, a sharp contrast to the more vibrant and animated expressions of his teammates. Dressed in the sleek uniform of their gaming alliance, he continued to observe, a bemused smile playing on his lips. "A rookie?”
