Damn, You Actually Sent It!

After being squeezed dry by several Xianzhou people, the first thing Sparkle did upon waking up was go find Stelle and resign.

Sparkle shoved open the train door and shouted at Stelle, who was sitting on the sofa wearing a fake beard and glasses to pose as a successful businesswoman, "Little Gray, I'm not doing your dirty work anymore!"

As though she had known Sparkle would come looking for her, Stelle calmly pulled out a string of tickets. "You can leave, but you'll have to compensate me for the tickets that went wrong..."

[Silver Wolf: How badly did they go wrong?]

[Fu Hua: Damn gacha games!]

[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Bronya understands the feeling, Class Monitor. The feeling of painstakingly saving up pulls only to lose the 50/50...]

[Silver Wolf: Yeah, the feeling of hitting hard pity...]

[Kiana: Lose the 50/50? Don't those game banners only give the featured characters? And you get them in two or three pulls, so they aren't hard to save for, right? Don't tell me you can get other characters too!]

[Silver Wolf/Bronya (Honkai Impact): Lucky bastard, shut up!]

Sparkle stared blankly at the string of tickets in Stelle's hand. How was she supposed to pay back that many?

Seeing that she could not afford to compensate her, Sparkle decided to take a step back. If she could not resign, then getting a few more benefits would do.

Sparkle gave an awkward smile and threatened Stelle, "Can your team composition handle losing me?"

Stelle did not care about Sparkle's threat. "If you won't do this job, plenty of others will."

As she spoke, she revealed several Energy Recharge Characters beside her, people who clearly looked completely out of place in this world.

"Hey! We've eaten more lawsuits than beans by now, haven't we?!"

Cool Tea... (another premium segment)

"This is a dream... This has to be a dream." Sparkle sat alone in a chair. By now, she had been squeezed so dry that she no longer felt The Joy. Like a low-level company employee, she was dull and lifeless. Her entire world had turned black and white, devoid of any other color...

[Sand Gold: @Stelle, the fact that you managed to squeeze a Masked Fool dry to this extent is truly eye-opening! Why not join the company? Trust me, the company would suit you perfectly.]

[Stelle: What are the benefits?]

[March 7th: You're seriously considering joining them?!]

[Sand Gold: By my calculations, with your abilities, it would not be difficult for you to reach P20 after completing a few missions. If you possess the same "talent" shown in the video, you might even become a Branch Manager within ten years.]

[Stelle: Don't sell me empty promises yet. If you mean it, send me a hundred thousand to show your sincerity. PS: Interastral Peace Corporation account attached.]

[Sand Gold: All right, I've sent it to you.]

Stelle picked up her phone and saw the message displayed on its screen: Transfer received: Credit Points.

"Holy shit! You actually sent it!"

[Sand Gold: So? Did you receive it?]

[March 7th: You didn't seriously send it, did you?!]

[Stelle: It's only a hundred thousand. If you've got the guts, send another hundred thousand.]

[Sand Gold: Sure.]

[March 7th: Can't you tell she's just trying to scam you out of money?!]

[Sampo: Sob, sob... Why can't Old Sampo ever meet such a good person...]

Ding! Transfer received: Credit Points.

"Woohoo~ Another payment."

March 7th came over as well. Watching Stelle earn Credit Points without doing anything made her a little envious, though she was also concerned.

"Stelle, isn't this a little wrong?"

"What's wrong with it? He gave it to me willingly."

"But..." March 7th was still uneasy, but Stelle interrupted her before she could finish.

"March~" Stelle asked March 7th earnestly, "Didn't you have your eye on that limited-edition camera before?"

"A-a camera!"

"That's a limited edition, you know..."

"Limited edition..."

"Yeah. It might go out of print after a while."

"Go out of print..." Stelle's words kept tempting March 7th like a demon's whisper in her ear...

Just as March 7th was about to fall completely, Himeko walked over too.

"Stelle, this is wrong."

Like a mother educating her children, Himeko lectured Stelle and March 7th. Of course, it would have been better if one could ignore the two cups of coffee emitting black fumes in her hands.

"If you won't listen, have a cup of coffee to calm down."

As she spoke, Himeko placed the two cups of coffee on the table in front of them.

As Stelle and March 7th stared at the two cups, they vaguely felt as if the coffee had come alive, tempting them to drink it. "Drink me, drink me, give your souls to me..."

Between coffee and Credit Points, Stelle quickly made her choice.

[Stelle: Sorry, but I'm not planning to change jobs right now.]

[Sand Gold: Hahaha~ That's fine. You don't need to return that money either. Consider it a gesture of friendship.]

Suddenly, Sparkle thought of something and abruptly raised her head.

"Ah! Maybe I'm in Penacony's Dream Pool."

After saying that, Sparkle decisively slapped herself.

Smack!

The instant her palm touched her face, Sparkle abruptly sat up from the Dream Pool.

Looking at the completely different scene around her, Sparkle immediately burst into laughter.

"Ha, hahaha, hahahahaha~"

Still laughing, Sparkle walked toward the door.

"That prank was vicious, Little Gray. Once I catch you, I'll torture you properly! (╬◣д◢)"

Just as Sparkle was planning how to torture Stelle in her mind, a voice suddenly came from the room next door, interrupting her thoughts.

"Torture sounds great. I like it~?(????ω????)?"

Sparkle immediately opened the door and cried out upon seeing Stelle sitting on the toilet inside, "Again?! Σ(°Д°)"

Stelle sat on the toilet without any embarrassment at being watched. Resting her head on her hands, she calmly greeted Sparkle. "Hi~ You've already rested for 15.8 seconds. Time to get back to work on the train!"

[Himeko: Look not upon impropriety, look not upon impropriety. Gentlemen in the Livestream Room, please behave yourselves...]

[Otto: Rest assured, Kallen is the only one in my heart. I have no interest in anyone else.]

[Old Yang: Is that so? I don't believe you unless you gouge your eyes out.]

[Lumine: @Stelle, say, don't you feel embarrassed? People from three worlds are watching you use the toilet!]

[Stelle: But don't you think this pose looks cool?]

[Kiana: Although sitting on a toilet is indeed a little strange, that pose really does look cool.]

[Bronya (Honkai Impact): In games, this kind of pose is usually struck by some final boss pulling strings from behind the scenes.]

[Sparkle: Oh? So does that mean Little Gray will become some big villain in the future?]

[Stelle: How could that be? I'm a protagonist certified by the system, a totally righteous character.]

[March 7th: Stop, stop, stop! Why are we suddenly discussing this? That's not the point!]

[March 7th: @Stelle, seriously, don't you really feel embarrassed?]

[Stelle: Oh, whatever~ It's all censored anyway, so nobody can see anything.]

[March 7th: That's still embarrassing, okay...]

[Himeko: Looks like I need to properly teach this child some common sense...]
