To escape the fate of being used as a pawn for family alliances, Qin Churan worked tirelessly.

  With Lu Ming's support.

  At 10 PM, midnight, and 2:30 AM, she successively met with three studios and teams, and with absolute strength, incorporated them.

  Representatives.

  Level 33 Mage [Mr. Wu], from Cloud State.

  Originally a factory worker, he left the factory overnight with over a dozen coworkers due to low wages and no future prospects, and turned to Sky Abyss. The studio was established just six months ago, with a total of seventeen people.

  Level 29 Archer [Heartbroken Senior], from Hanghai City, recently graduated from college, and with a passionate spirit, formed a team with thirteen college classmates and roommates.

  Level 35 Warrior [Monkey King], from Linhai, whose family business was on the verge of bankruptcy. With the last bit of money, he led over fifty company employees to form a team, hoping to regain glory in the Sky Abyss world.

  But things weren't looking good, and the last bit of money was almost gone, with the team facing dissolution.

  Clearly, Qin Churan's selection of targets was not random.

  She chose these groups because they were like scattered sand, desperately needing a leader to guide them to the peak.

  Moreover, they all had a common need: money!

  Therefore, Qin Churan offered everyone who joined her team a starting salary of eight thousand a month.

  This salary far exceeded the market level of other teams.

  "Didn't your brother freeze all your cards? How are you going to pay over two hundred people?"

  In response to Lu Ming's inquiry, Qin Churan said, "A-Long and Xiao Hu left me some money, and I sold some things. I can hold out for six months, no problem."

  "Once things stabilize, I'll start leading them to develop business, take on tasks, and earn commissions."

  That's how all teams operate profitably.

  No wonder it took Qin Churan half a year to start creating a team after the three-year agreement.

  On the surface, it seemed like she wasted half a year, but in reality, she used this time to fully prepare by learning team operation models, identifying groups, and raising funds!

  At 3 AM.

  After finishing all the meetings.

  On the way back to Starlight City from the wilderness.

  Qin Churan looked up at the starry sky, her face showing no signs of fatigue, but rather filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

  She was in high spirits.

  "I will definitely build one of the top hundred teams in the national server!"

  "We will definitely succeed!"

  "We will."

  Lu Ming looked at Qin Churan's beautiful profile and said, "With my help."

  Qin Churan gazed deeply at Lu Ming and nodded.

  Then she suddenly asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name. Calling you Nether feels a bit strange..."

  Lu Ming replied without hesitation, "My name is Zhang Yi."

  Qin Churan believed Lu Ming's answer without doubt, "Alright, I'll remember it!"

  After that, the two remained silent on their way.

  Qin Churan seemed to be planning something, her face alternating between red and white.

  Upon reaching Starlight City.

  Qin Churan suddenly stood on tiptoe and, as if she had planned it for a long time, kissed Lu Ming on the cheek!

  "Good night, see you tomorrow!"

  Without giving Lu Ming a chance to react, Qin Churan quickly logged off.

  Little did she know, Lu Ming appeared harmless on the surface.

  But in his eyes, a sharp glint was emerging.

  "It seems everything is developing as I expected."

  Qin Churan was quite pitiful too.

  On one side, she was used as a pawn by her brother Qin Feng, and on the other, she was being utilized by Lu Ming.

  "Blame your brother."

  With that, Lu Ming logged off as well.

  The time was fixed at 3 AM.

  Lu Ming went to the living room to get some water and found Lin Youwei, the silly girl, had fallen asleep at the table waiting for him to log off!

  Her phone screen was still on, showing the Alipay balance interface, displaying her little savings: 7134.46!

  It seemed she had saved quite a bit of money following Lu Ming these past few days.

  Lin Youwei was small, weighing only a little over eighty pounds.

  Lu Ming effortlessly carried her back to her room.

  Returning to his own room, after showering, he lay on the bed and calculated.

  He had spent the whole day farming in the eighth realm of the Nether Ghost Tower.

  During the day, the total revenue from selling all the Soul Stones and Copper Coins reached 185,000, averaging about 20,000 per hour.

  And at night, with the bonus from the Tier 1 magic scroll [Fortune Seeker], in less than two hours, the revenue was 97,000!

  The magic scroll bought for eight thousand brought Lu Ming nearly 60,000 in extra income!

  It was truly worth every penny!

  If magic scrolls weren't so rare, Lu Ming would have bought hundreds of them to keep the effect permanently on him!

  Lu Ming sold all the Soul Stones, excess Copper Coins, equipment, and skill scrolls.

  With the accumulation of transaction notifications, the bank account balance finally reached one million!

  "Now, it's only been five days since I was reborn."

  "In just five days, I've reached my first million in this life!"

  Looking at the account balance, Lu Ming felt a small sense of achievement and satisfaction.

  Unfortunately, before he could even warm up to this money, Lu Ming transferred it to Qing Yan.

  "This is the money I borrowed from you last time, returning it first. I'm saving up for the Soul Set."

  Unexpectedly, Qing Yan was also a night owl.

  At 3 AM, she was still awake, and upon receiving Lu Ming's transfer, she was full of astonishment: "In just a few days, you've gathered a million... That's terrifying!"

  Qing Yan thought for a moment and replied to Lu Ming's message, "If you need it, just use it first. No rush on my end."

  Lu Ming replied, "I don't need the money for now, thanks."

  Watching the bank account balance drop from seven figures to three in an instant.

  Lu Ming felt a wave of disappointment.

  "Back to being broke."

  "Make money! Keep making money!"

  With dreams of earning big, Lu Ming fell asleep.

  The next morning, Lu Ming was awakened by a voice call.

  Answering the call, upon hearing Qin Churan's voice on the other end, Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became alert.

  Without even washing up, he immediately got up, turned on the computer, and logged into Sky Abyss.

  Whoosh!

  White light fell, and Lu Ming appeared in Starlight City.

  At this moment, Qin Churan sent a location over.

  Lu Ming hurriedly followed the location.

  Ten minutes later.

  When Lu Ming arrived at an abandoned city in the wilderness.

  He saw countless solo players gathered outside the city, watching the scene and discussing animatedly.

  "How tragic!"

  "Yeah! It's too tragic!"

  "Who could have done this, being so cruel?"

  Lu Ming squeezed through the crowd and stood at the city gate with Qin Churan, who had arrived earlier.

  Looking ahead.

  The vast abandoned city was filled with corpses, blood flowing like rivers!

  Hundreds of player corpses were scattered in a crisscross pattern.

  Their deaths were extremely gruesome.

  Headless and dismembered, there was hardly a complete body at the scene.

  Moreover, these deceased players were none other than members of Excellence, Transcendence, Blaze Squad, and the studios and teams led by Mr. Wu and Monkey King!
