NINE.
Nian Yiâanâs thoughts halted at that moment.
He sat frozen, staring at the unique title in front of NINE, his brain crashing.
And he was utterly unaware that after claiming the gifts from these emails, the world channel of Oracle exploded.
Si Fuqingâs gifts to Nian Yiâan were treasures, some of which were the only ones in the entire game of Oracle.
Whenever a player received items of legendary level or above, the system would announce it in the world channel.
A series of âCongratulations to player Year after Year for obtainingâ¦â baffled other players.
[World] [Always Sleeping]: ?? What the heck, which big spender is this? Blinding me with their splurge.
[World] [Diet Tomorrow]: Look carefully, the Fish Intestine Sword canât be bought with money. You have to craft it from materials in dungeons, and even the top blacksmiths on the leaderboard havenât made it.
[World] [Iâm a Primary School Student]: Who is Year after Year, another God? Are they on the leaderboard? How did they get so many legendary items in one minute?! Are they related to the Oracle planners?
Nian Yiâan was oblivious to the uproar his presence had caused on the world channel.
He calmed himself down, turned around, his lips parting to call out to Si Fuqing.
His phone rang first.
Nian Yiâan massaged his temples and answered, âHello?â
âYiâan, did you hack into Oracleâs headquarters?â The male voice sounded frantic, âEven if you could get the Fish Intestine Sword, the Life as a Dream outfit hasnât officially been released. How did you get it?â
âWe are good citizens, show off your computer skills but donât do anything illegal. If the Oracleâs IT department sees this, youâre going to get taken away!â
He and Nian Yiâan were teammates in dungeon raids, so he was well aware of Nian Yiâanâs game ID.
Seeing it on the world channel, he thought he was hallucinating. How did Nian Yiâan become a new money in Oraclejust by taking a day off?
âWhat are you talking about?â Nian Yiâan took a deep breath, âWhen did I hack into Oracleâs headquarters, if there was a hack, it would beââ Si Fuqing lazily raised her right hand, âI swear, Iâve never hacked.â At most, she had hacked into Zeroâs system.
Ignoring the frantic questions from the male caller, Nian Yiâan hung up.
âIs it enough?â Si Fuqing asked with concern, âIf not, I can ask for more. I see you play as an archer, I can find you a bow.â
After all, even the most cherished equipment was just a set of data to Oracleâs chief planner, Ji Yun.
Nian Yiâan was stunned by her magnanimous statement, â . itsâs enough, enough.â
He paused, then remembered the most important thing, and asked tentatively,
âSister Qingqing = , your IDââ
âOh, I play a male character.â Si Fuqing nodded, âThereâs no rule against girls playing as swordsmen, right?â Nian Yiâan was speechless.
There was no such rule.
But this was no ordinary swordsman; this was the top swordsman across the server!
NINE, the God, had returned after nine years to reclaim his throne.
Each version brought its own legends, and NINE was a legend in every version.
Many had impersonated NINE.
But the unique title could not be faked, and these top-tier items were indeed something only a God like NINE could possess.
But if his cousin was NINE, did that mean⦠she started playing the game at nine years old?!
Nian Yiâan suddenly felt that if he grew wings in the future, it wouldnât be strange at all.
After all, his cousin was the top player across the server at the age of nine. A family surely shares similar genes.
Si Fuqing arched an eyebrow, âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
Nian Yiâan gradually came back to his senses, his lips slightly parted, his voice uncertain, âYouâre not the rough man I thoughtâ¦â
âEh?â Si Fuqing touched her chin, âEven if I disguise myself as a man, I should at least be of a noble sonâs caliber, right?â
Nian Yiâan, overwhelmed, crouched down, âI need a moment to process this.â
âThe world is vast, young man, and you have much to explore.â Si Fuqing patted his back, her words laden with meaning, âIf your view of the world shatters, youâll have to piece it back together yourself.â
Nian Yiâan muttered dejectedly, âMy view of the world shattered today.â
He took a moment to recover, then hesitated, âSister Qingqing, the gifts youâve given me are too valuable, I truly canât accept them.â
âItâs fine, I donât need them, theyâre just virtual data, nothing valuable.â Si Fuqing hummed, âThose gift boxes earlier are for you too. Iâve ordered a meal for you and your aunt and uncle, itâll be delivered soon. Enjoy your meal, Iâm heading back to the program team..â
