Chapter 84: Little Red Hand!

Time flew by, and half an hour slipped away unnoticed.

Shi Qingqing had already finished her second routine and logged out, then logged into her third account to continue… These tasks were so familiar to her that she could complete them with her eyes closed. She instinctively reached for her phone, only to find it out of battery. Otherwise, what a delight it would have been to snatch red envelopes during this lull.

She glanced at it.

Suddenly, she sat up straight!

What the—!

Somehow, her phone’s battery had changed again. Now it showed 95%.

It had clearly been down to just 1% before. What had happened? How had it suddenly jumped back to 95%?

Shi Qingqing was so thrilled she wanted to laugh out loud to the heavens. Ha ha ha.

So it really does recover automatically?

She had worried for nothing.

Immediately, she launched into action! Red envelopes, Shi Qingqing is back again!

But every night, after she returned home, there were very few groups where she could snatch red envelopes.

This red envelope system was a bit odd: although she could forcibly search for groups, once she left the eligible range, she was automatically removed from them.

All of them were one-time only.

She couldn’t save them for later, even if she wanted to.

Unless she happened to be nearby and the group was actively sending red envelopes, she could join again. For example, the Star Kindergarten group—she’d joined that several times already.

She tapped the “snatch” button!

A minute later, ‘…Unfortunately, there are no nearby groups currently sending red envelopes…’

Shi Qingqing wasn’t discouraged. Just then, her “Difficult in Theory, Easy in Practice” account began to receive message notifications, its minimized icon flashing on the screen below.

She opened it.

A few private messages.

[Private] Douglas: Little Red Hand, revive, revive…

Shi Qingqing replied, “Here.”

On the game screen, the Jiao Maiden boss had fallen. All the team members instinctively stepped back, leaving space for Shi Qingqing to loot.

Shi Qingqing steeled herself; now was her moment to earn some income. If she picked up something valuable, she’d get a share; if not, she lost nothing.

She went up and opened the boss’s treasure chest.

Several pieces of purple equipment and some materials popped out.

[Team] Douglas: Bronze Lion Tail Helmet (Excellent), Snake Skin Bamboo Robe (Rare), Pure Black Big Fish Head Sword (Excellent)… Hahaha, there’s a piece of jewelry perfect for rogues, the Eye of Invisibility. Even though it’s not an artifact, this piece is extremely rare. Well done, Little Red Hand!

Shi Qingqing was well-versed in the game; among the loot, only the rogue’s top-tier jewelry was worth anything—the rest were just ordinary.

Even so, it wasn’t particularly valuable, nowhere near a tenth of what an artifact prototype would fetch.

This was a twenty-five-person team; if she got ten yuan from the split, it would be a good deal.

Luckily, nothing was embarrassing or shameful, perhaps a lingering effect from the lucky candy.

Shi Qingqing returned the distribution rights to the team leader, Master Grim, and logged out of her “Difficult in Theory, Easy in Practice” account.

No extra income came her way; she only wanted to snatch a few big red envelopes to comfort her wounded spirit.

She tapped “snatch” several more times in quick succession!

Without waiting for the minute-long search to finish, she canceled halfway through and tapped “snatch” again.

The game screen still lingered on her computer…

Suddenly, Shi Qingqing heard an extremely faint sizzling sound.

Her battered phone finally found a red envelope group.
