Chapter 287: I Will Never Submit

“Red! Gold!”

When Tang You saw Yu Xueqing return, bringing back Xiao’an—who had previously been posted in the WeChat group—she lit up immediately, eagerly borrowing the little fox to wield the power of the Baojia Immortal and wage war against the ultimate evil, G Pang .

“Here we go again.”

Mo Yiqing, watching Tang You descend into madness, couldn’t help but complain to Yu Xueqing and Lingren.

Their roommate, who proudly called herself the Cyber Khan, was actually quite skilled at games—rarely losing on either PC or mobile—but over the three years they’d lived together,

they all knew that Tang You, the Cyber Khan who flew planes, sniped from orbit, and conquered the cosmos in war games, completely lost her mind whenever it came to gacha probabilities.

There was nothing to be done.

In the entire life histories of Yu Xueqing, Mo Yiqing, or Lingren, not one person had worse luck than Tang You.

Whenever a gacha had a guaranteed drop, Tang You would always exhaust the full guarantee.

If she got the guaranteed reward with even one fewer pull, she’d kiss every person in the dorm.

Tang You’s cursed luck was undeniable. Mo Yiqing had even advised her to file a complaint with the Consumer Association to see if the game company was targeting her.

But when you called her cursed, she’d get offended.

She’d mutter things like, “Buying skins is buying shame—I’d rather go without than spend money on shame.”

Then she’d ramble on about how G Pang deserved to die and how the “Europigs” just didn’t understand.

【Don’t do this—I know I’m a cursed lump, but you’re not allowed to say it! Quick! Give me gold and let me show off!—Tang You, pretending to be hopelessly addicted to opening crates, was actually drenched in sweat, silently praying to every deity she could think of, desperate to impress her roommates. Unfortunately, she’d opened over three hundred crates and still hadn’t gotten a single golden item.】

【Wish fulfilled: Cyber Misfortune Terminator】

“.”

An Sheng looked up at the big sister hugging him and let out a soft whimper:

“Sis, maybe don’t open any more? CS crates are pretty expensive—you’ve already spent tens of thousands. Why not save that money for me? I’ll absorb your wish energy and still earn you some pocket cash.”

Although An Sheng had never played CS:GO, he knew the skins and cosmetics were extremely pricey.

In terms of luck, An Sheng was confident.

“I’ve covered it.”

Feeling her roommates’ stares, Tang You’s heart bled—but she forced a calm expression, lifted the little fox to the screen, and gripped its tiny paw to click the mouse and open the crate.

First pull: a blue weapon.

An Sheng’s forehead creased with a question mark; his earlier confident expression instantly turned to doubt.

Second, third, fourth—everything was blue or white grade.

“Ah! Even the Baojia Immortal can’t help!” Tang You held the fox’s paw and opened ten more crates without a single drop. She sighed.

“.”

At this moment, An Sheng’s smile vanished completely.

“Though I am but a small fox, to treat me this way is too much, you cursed lump!”

Annoyed by the crate-opening, An Sheng shoved Tang You’s hand away, then, before she could react, swiftly moved the mouse and clicked the key to open the crate on screen.

“Click-click-click…”

Dozens of weapons flashed across the screen—until the window settled on a golden egg.

“?”

Tang You, about to return the fox to her lap, froze at the sight of the golden egg on screen.

The probability of a golden egg appearing in this game was a pitiful 0.026%.

Tang You had only ever seen the golden egg’s image on video sites.

In real life, she’d never even seen a red-grade item, let alone a golden one.

“Clang—”

A dagger shaped like ivory appeared on the screen, its blade coated in silver-black paint mimicking marble veins, the serrated spine gleaming with metallic luster.

【Serrated Claw Knife · Doppler (Factory New)】

“Hmph!”

Seeing the gold drop, An Sheng snorted, his face regaining its confident expression.

But Tang You, upon seeing the gold, didn’t erupt in ecstatic joy—she simply opened the game market to check the price of the 【Serrated Claw Knife】.

【Serrated Claw Knife · Doppler: 13,000】

Tang You, who had been staring blankly, suddenly shot a sharp gleam into her dull eyes.

She set the little fox on the floor, then shifted from her cross-legged pose to crouching on the sofa.

“Fuck—”

Tang You leapt from the fabric sofa, screaming with all her might:

“I got GOLD in CS:GO! In a game with no guarantee! I fucking did it!”

“Tonight’s dinner, drinks, entertainment, and bath—all on me!”

Compared to what she’d spent in the game, the Serrated Claw Knife’s value was negligible.

But Tang You didn’t care about the price—she cared about the gold.

Her dumb online friends constantly flaunted their pulls in group chats, and she’d held back a seething rage—yet she’d never pulled gold.

She even believed her own E-cup size was due to the pent-up frustration in her chest, swelling her breasts with sheer spite.

Today, she’d repay every insult, every taunt, every humiliation she’d endured.

【The Cyber Misfortune Terminator’s wish fulfilled. The Blessing Fox Lord wielded cosmic power to purge misfortune, proving his auspicious nature, crushing cyber curses with his fist—forcing the cyber curses to ride the bus to work.】

【Wish energy +1】

“. I gained wish energy, and proved it was Tang You’s curse—not mine—but why can’t I feel happy?”

Seeing the Serrated Claw Knife valued at 13,000, the little fox’s smile transferred entirely to Tang You’s face.

13,000…

How many pounds of tea would that buy? You’d burn the wok to cinders.

“I know you—you’re Fox Grandpa!”

As An Sheng pondered whether to partner with the Gold-Edged Hedgehog to open a casino and rebalance his psyche, the Qinling panda cub, long ignored, clutched his foot with both paws and rolled on the floor, bumping into his leg.

The cub paused, looked up at An Sheng, and suddenly understood:

“Big Fat Cat said: if you meet Fox Grandpa, never tell him there’s a weapons room on the school building. I won’t tell Fox Grandpa—I’ve got a tight mouth!”

“I will never submit to Fox Grandpa…” the cub muttered in a tiny voice, staring at the Blessing Fox Lord.

An Sheng: “.”
