The group hadn’t been chatting for long when they noticed the servers had merged again! The number of active chatters, which had once plummeted to a pitiful four-digit figure, was now back to 9999+.
What delighted everyone the most was that the name of Server 88, District 666 remained unchanged. Partly out of nostalgia and collective pride, but also because "88666" just rolled off the tongue so smoothly!
Qi Xu immediately searched the player list for "happyending."
The result? No such player existed. The closest match was someone named "Happy Big Sis"...
Qi Xu hadn’t expected to be wrong. With Xie Shaoning’s skills, he should’ve been the top player in their district.
Representing Server 88, District 666, and having already clashed at the Monster Shop’s entrance, how could they not have crossed paths after this merge?
This didn’t align with Qiuqiu’s usual way of handling things.
"Qiuqiu, can you clear something up for me? I seem to have 10 Survival Coins lying around, and I’m not sure where to put them."
"Boss, what’s the big deal? If you wanna know, of course I’ll tell you! Originally, we were supposed to merge with happyending’s server, but he used a Server Merge Redirect Card. He didn’t choose Server 88, District 666!"
Qi Xu understood now—he chickened out and paid to avoid it. True to his word, Qi Xu tossed Qiuqiu the 10 Survival Coins.
"Just keep them in your pocket."
"Thanks for the reward, Boss!"
Qi Xu was about to close the screen and head to bed. Lately, he’d been cultivating a habit of early nights, and if it weren’t for waiting for the monthly rankings and chatting with the group, he’d have been asleep long ago.
But just then, he noticed a flood of @mentions in the chat hall.
C137 Mighty Ox: "@Invincible Black Whirlwind Hahaha, we merged into the server with the #1 top player!"
Sleeves Full of Stars: "666, this is awesome! Hope the big boss carries us to victory! Show us some love!"
Sword Hero: "@Invincible Black Whirlwind Boss, say something! We’ve all merged into your server—how about a little red packet for the occasion? Where’s the big-shot energy?"
Cheese Bread: "Hahaha, red packet! Red packet! @Invincible Black Whirlwind"
The moment the words "red packet" appeared, the Server 88, District 666 group fell silent. This guy really knew how to poke the sore spot.
Back in the day, Whirlwind Boss used to hand out red packets often, but after being taken advantage of by a bunch of ungrateful clowns, he grew disillusioned. Since then, he rarely spoke in the main chat.
And now, here came another clueless fool?
It had taken a lot for Whirlwind Boss to soften up and sell a batch of discounted "Kindness Raincoats." Now, everyone thought twice before speaking, terrified some idiot might set him off again.
If he stopped selling in bulk, they’d be screwed!
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "Which server are you guys from? The Beggar’s Guild? What’s with the handout demands? No hands or feet? If you’re gonna beg, at least kneel and kowtow first. Show some respect!"
Watch Me Cut You Down: "Oh boy, it’s been a while since I’ve seen so many people begging for a verbal beatdown! Move aside, let me rack up some stats!"
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "At least leave a few for me. I’m itching for a fight too."
Cheese Bread: "What’s your problem? We weren’t even being rude. Is your server always this hostile? We were just joking around, trying to hype things up."
Sword Hero: "Yeah, Invincible Black Whirlwind didn’t even say anything. Why are you two jumping in? A big boss like him wouldn’t care about a few resources, right? We weren’t asking for much—just a little celebration!"
C137 Mighty Ox: "Exactly! I don’t get it. Does your server’s boss never give out red packets? That’s pretty lame. Our top player, Little Lamb, sends us a red packet every morning!"
Fluffy Ice Lamb: "Hey, hey, no fighting. Whether someone gives red packets or not is their choice. Don’t guilt-trip people. You guys crossed the line."
Sleeves Full of Stars: "How is us crossing the line? They started cursing first! And now you’re not even siding with us?"
Blessed by Luck: "@Fluffy Ice Lamb Oh man, you’re really out here spreading sunshine and rainbows."
Fluffy Ice Lamb: "Huh? Sorry, I didn’t catch that. It’s late, and with the monthly rankings just dropping and the server merge, everyone’s a little hyped up. Maybe some words got out of hand.
Let’s not hold grudges, okay? No fighting. We’re all in this together—let’s not make an already tough journey harder.
I’ll send out a red packet. It’s not much, and not everyone might get something, but it’s the thought that counts. Let’s all call it a night and drop this, alright?"
With that, Fluffy Ice Lamb dropped a massive red packet into the chat—3,000 slots filled with basic supplies and even Vehicle Upgrade Card Fragments, a core item every player desperately needed.
The entire Server 88, District 666 group was stunned. Blessed by Luck wasn’t wrong—this person really was "sunshine incarnate." And it didn’t seem like an act...
Even Qi Xu was floored. Someone like this actually existed? Giving away Vehicle Upgrade Fragments? Insanity.
He clicked on Fluffy Ice Lamb’s profile—currently at Vehicle Level 6, a fairly strong player. So why...?
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "Are you out of your mind? Look how you’re spoiling these animals!"
Fluffy Ice Lamb: "Don’t say that, okay? If I can afford to give red packets, that’s my business. They were wrong to @ Invincible Black Whirlwind and demand handouts, but you’re wrong to curse at them like this."
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "Okay, got it. I don’t argue with idiots."
C137 Mighty Ox: "Wasted all those red packets, and these ingrates don’t even appreciate it. Snatching them up but staying silent now."
Sword Hero: "Yeah, a server’s vibe reflects its leader. Merging into this one’s a damn curse."
Watch Me Cut You Down: "Oh, shut it and scram. Quit being a nuisance."
Fluffy Ice Lamb: "Hey, no more fighting! Next person who starts drama gets blacklisted—no more red packets for you!"
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "You scram too!"
Qi Xu watched for a while but didn’t chime in. When core values clashed this hard, there was no reasoning. This person was delusional—they’d regret it someday.
Just as he was about to close the screen, an idea struck him. He searched a specific username—and instantly, his eyes lit up!
