Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 831 I Didn't Know You Could Earn Money This Way

"Why? Don't you have a laptop?" Scarlette asked Raeleigh as she communicated with another player in the game. She was trying to look for a player named Shadowless Hadrian.

Raeleigh wasn't bothered by it but she leaned close to Scarlette as she spoke. She wasn't able to focus on reading her book, so she looked at Scarlette and said, "I hardly use my laptop. Moreover, I don't have any games and I don't know how to play any."

"You're truly old-fashioned. Look at what century we're in. You're too conservative. This isn't a good sign. Furthermore, you can use it to earn some allowance," Scarlette said as she focused on her laptop. "I'm not like you. You have your family to support your studies, but I don't have any money since I've left the orphanage. If I don't play games, then I have no money to attend school."

Raeleigh looked at Scarlette and her gaze slowly fell on her face. "You can earn money by playing games?"

"Of course! Why else would a girl like me be playing games?" Scarlette wanted someone to accompany her in playing games.

Raeleigh needed extra cash but she had no idea how to play games.

"Scarlette, what game are you playing?" Raeleigh leaned forward to see Scarlette's screen. Then, Scarlette explained the game to her.

According to Scarlette, she was playing Fairy Tales. There were treasures and magical tools in the game. One would have to upgrade one's character's level before one could start hunting for treasures. There were many powerful magical tools in the game and if one can find them...

She smiled widely. "These tools could be sold for more than ten thousand dollars."

Raeleigh froze for a moment and asked, "That much?"

"But that will probably be a master level's magical tool. It's not easy to find one. You have to join the game and train your character by fighting monsters. You'll be getting a lot of unwanted tools once you've leveled up, unless you have a skilled player in the game to guide you. If that's the case, then you will gain some worthy tools. Although they're not worth more than ten thousand dollars, the smaller ones can be sold for a few hundred dollars while the bigger ones could be sold for a few thousand dollars."

Scarlette explained proudly. Raeleigh continued to ask, "Was that how it was when you first joined the game?"

Scarlette was stunned for a moment and recalled the first time she played the game. She was ten years old and she would crawl under Hadrian's covers to play the game. Then, she was kicked out by Hadrian when she was about thirteen years old.

"Sort of. I had to do it to earn some allowance. When we're in the virtual world, nobody knows who we are. We can do anything we want there. I did it to survive and there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Raeleigh thought about it for a long time. Her grandmother's health was getting worse by the day and when Raeleigh went to the civil administration office the other day to get funds given out by the government to help the citizens in need, she was criticized by the officers there. They said that she had the money to attend Elkton University, but didn't have money to provide healthcare for her grandmother. Raeleigh wasn't bothered by their words because she had worse things said to her. If this money could help her get supplements for her grandmother, then she didn't mind doing it.

"Scarlette, what level are you on? Are you a master?" Raeleigh wanted to try the game but she didn't have the confidence.

Scarlette replied, "I'm only considered a junior master, but I am earning enough for my allowance."

"Then. can you guide me? I don't need a lot of money. If there are tools that are worth below a hundred dollars, then you can bring me and I'll fight the battle for you. Once you sell it, you can give me twenty percent of the price sold."

"There isn't a tool below a hundred dollars. Even if there is, no one is going to buy it. Those people who are buying tools, are people like you who don't know how to play the game. They aren't skilled when they first join the game, so they would buy tools to defend themselves."

"Making money off the game is easy. You'll just have to find a skilled player to guide you."

"But don't worry about it. There are plenty of masters in the game and they are really nice to women. When I first joined the game, there were a bunch of guys who offered to guide me in the game and promised to share some good tools but..." Scarlette's tone gradually turned sadder. Raeleigh stared at her and asked, "But what?"

"When they found out I was ten years old, they then ignored me." Scarlette felt wronged as she thought about it. If it weren't for the fact that Hadrian was the only one who offered to guide her, then she wouldn' have been with him. He's cold and boring!

"You started playing when you were ten years old. How are you not a master yet?" Raeleigh was shocked. She figured that Scarlette was someone who got into Elkton University with her own results and even if she weren't good at the game, she had been playing it for ten years.

"You don't understand. The game is constantly changing, and before you can get good at it, there will be a new update. How could I become a master so easily?" Scarlette complained. If Hadrian hadn't always changed to a new character when they got to a higher level in the game, then she would have been a master a long time ago.

There was nothing she could do. She only had Hadrian to depend on in the game.

Raeleigh could understand most of the things she said, so she asked, "Was it because the master, who was guiding you, is constantly changing spots?"

"You could say that. His name is Shadowless Hadrian," Scarlette said with a smile as she found him in the game. Then, Scarlette bumped Raeleigh with her shoulder and said, "Give me some time. I'll get something good and I'll treat you to some nice food."

Raeleigh kept quiet as she held a book in her hand. Instead of reading her book, her attention was on Scarlette's laptop screen.

Soon, a man in a blue outfit showed up on the screen. He was wearing a classy outfit and had charming features. He was also holding a huge sword in his hand. His name, Shadowless Hadrian, was shown on his head.

Shadowless Hadrian's body emitted a faint glow and there was a huge bright circle under him. The circle looked like the back of a tarot card. It had a huge star and it was glowing too.

It was Raeleigh's first encounter with games and she was observing every little detail on it.

At that moment, Scarlette said coldly in the game, "Shall we continue to fight monsters today?"

"Today, we're hunting for creatures," Shadowless Hadrian replied. Then, Scarlette explained to Raeleigh, "You shouldn't underestimate the creatures in this game. There are all types of creatures, such as magic creatures, spirit creatures, immortal creatures, goblins, and so on. If you manage to defeat one, then you will be able to get a magical tool, and you can sell it for money."

Raeleigh didn't know anything about it, so she remained quiet most of the time as she listened to Scarlette's explanation.

Raeleigh had a good memory, and she would always remember the things she listened to. She could remember the things that her lecturers taught in class. Therefore, she could remember everything that Scarlette was telling her.

Then, Scarlette asked Shadowless Hadrian, "Can I have the magical tool that we're getting later? My friend is with me and I want to buy her some candy."

"Sure." Shadowless Hadrian agreed. Scarlette felt excited. In the game, they went into a deep cave at Peach Blossom Garden. Shadowless Hadrian quickly found a fierce spirit creature. The spirit creature instantly pounced on them when it saw them, and Scarlette was stunned. Shadowless Hadrian quickly got into a battle with the spirit creature. Raeleigh looked at Scarlette. Then, he turned back to look at the game. The battle was intense and Scarlette joined the battle. It was a heated battle, but Scarlette and Shadowless Hadrian won. It was all thanks to Shadowless Hadrian's huge sword.

The spirit creature exploded and a beam of light shone through. Scarlette picked up the bright item from the creature's body and opened it. Her face lit up with a smile and said, "It's the Spirit Collection PTristan! I'm going to be rich."

"How much is this worth?" Raeleigh asked. Scarlette conversed with Shadowless Hadrian in-game and then replied to Raeleigh, "This is at least worth twenty to thirty thousand dollars. I'm going to sell it later." "What's the use of it?"

"Well, if you hang it on your character's neck, then it can absorb the spirit of other masters in the game and it can also absorb the spirit of the spirit creatures around. It's no wonder it felt like my spirit was taken away during the battle earlier with the spirit creature. It must have been this reason. I'm going to sell it off later with a good price."

Then, Scarlette told Shadowless Hadrian, "I'm having a stomach ache. I'm going to the toilet. You can go ahead." Scarlette quickly went offline.

"Aren't you going to sell the tool?" Raeleigh didn't understand why she went offline.

"Well, you don't understand. Since he had offered me the tool, it's mine now. He might regret his decision, so it's better for me to go offline. It's fine if the tool was worth one or two thousand dollars but it's worth much more than that," Scarlette said, although she knew that Hadrian wasn't that kind of person.

"Really?" Raeleigh was speechless.

Scarlette didn't reply. She logged in back to the game with her other account after some time. She took out the precious tool from her pouch and put it up for sale. Soon, she was offered a price as a player was interested to buy the tool. The player haggled with her, and she ended up selling the tool for two thousand dollars cheaper.

Instantly, Scarlette received a notification on her phone and the money was transferred to her.

"Look at this. I got the money." Scarlette showed Raeleigh her phone and Raeleigh reached out to take over the phone. Raeleigh was extremely surprised how easy it was for Scarlette to earn money.
