After Eve cleaned up and left, Su Ran, now relaxed, no longer had to suppress his voice and returned to his melodious, warbler-like tone.
Seeing that the time agreed upon with his employer was approaching, Su Ran quickly contacted the play-along client he had arranged this morning.
Su Ran had an unprecedented enthusiasm for this part-time play-along job.
Even though he was currently in the so-called trial period, the wages he earned from one play-along session were comparable to the income he used to get from a power-leveling job.
But it was important to know that the time spent on one play-along session was much shorter than power-leveling, which meant he could devote more attention and energy to Isa.
With Isa’s step-by-step improvement, Su Ran might be able to gain more in the future.
Now, for Su Ran, continuing to complete the tasks proposed in the Witch Game gave him a chance to stand up again and see the outside world with his own eyes.
Imagining a future where he could walk normally again, Su Ran suppressed his excitement and logged into his “Narukami” account.
The employer had just sent him her contact information. Now, all Su Ran had to do was wait for the employer to come online.
He didn’t have to wait long before the employer named Qiuqiu sent him a call request.
As they had agreed this morning, it was only a voice call, no video.
Su Ran placed the mouse on the green “accept” button. The mental preparation he had made was not very reliable for the current Su Ran.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and pressed the accept button.
Su Ran spoke as he had seen in the works he had watched online before, but as he spoke, due to his inherent concealment, his words lacked a certain confidence.
“He…hello, I’m the play-along you contacted.”
Li Xiaodie listened to the identical voice coming from the speakers and gave Qiu Feifei a triumphant look.
See, I told you this sister’s voice is definitely not a voice changer.
Qiu Feifei, as the employer, saw Li Xiaodie’s expression and pretended not to see it.
She had finally found a play-along sister, and now she wanted to enjoy the emotional value that the play-along sister brought her.
“Sister, what’s your name? I see your account is still in its original state. Did you just start taking orders?”
Hee hee~
Qiu Feifei showed her cute little canine teeth. This play-along sister’s voice sounded weak and timid, so she must be quite innocent.
She immediately became interested in this play-along who had taken the initiative to come to her door and planned to understand her basic information first.
Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, being called “sister” by the employer still made Su Ran’s mind go blank for a moment.
But when he came back to his senses, faced with the employer’s question, Su Ran, who couldn’t reveal his real name, had a flash of inspiration and casually made up a name, “Xiao Ran! You can call me Xiao Ran!”
“Xiao Ran?” Qiu Feifei muttered in a low voice a few times.
Then Qiu Feifei said excitedly, “You don’t sound very old. Come on, call me Sister Qiuqiu first, let me hear it.”
Faced with the employer’s request, Su Ran weakly asked, “This isn’t a necessary part of the play-along service, right? Can I not call you that?”
“Hmm?”
Qiu Feifei didn’t say anything, but inexplicably raised her voice by a tone.
“Xiao Ran, sister is telling you that satisfying the employer’s reasonable requests is also part of the play-along job!”
Obviously, Su Ran had no room for bargaining. The fair skin on his face was as red as a boiled shrimp.
“Sis…sister!”
Su Ran closed his eyes and timidly spoke to satisfy the employer’s reasonable request.
Hearing Xiao Ran’s soft voice call her “sister,” Qiu Feifei’s heart melted.
She made up her mind that in the future, her “Narukami” play-along would only have a place for Xiao Ran, and no one could change her mind!
After satisfying Qiuqiu’s request to be called “sister” in the future.
This play-along process was surprisingly smooth. He guided the employer through dungeons and taught her how to gear up in “Narukami.” This play-along session was also coming to an end.
“Six hundred yuan received!”
Hearing the sound of money being received, Su Ran was instantly bathed in sunlight, a sense of comfort from top to bottom, and he felt that his efforts in playing along were all worth it.
“Xiao Ran, your gaming skills are really good. I’ll order you again in the future!”
Tonight’s dungeon raiding experience really satisfied Qiu Feifei. She enjoyed the meticulous service from Su Ran.
Whether it was playing a DPS with a healer chasing after her to heal, or playing a support and being led by Su Ran to raid fiercely, it all swept away the depression of not being able to clear the Abyss at noon.
Even with Xiao Ran’s gearing guidance, Qiu Feifei also cleared the Abyss along the way.
She couldn’t help but feel a little dizzy in Xiao Ran’s repeated calls of “sister.”
Tonight was also the first time Su Ran had come into contact with the play-along part-time job. From the difficult-to-say “sister” at the beginning, to the repeated calls of “sister” later.
Su Ran remembered his experience playing the Witch Game. By putting the employer in his previous position, he immediately understood how to make the employer feel happy both physically and mentally.
After verbally agreeing to play again next time, this play-along task was over.
In the dormitory, Li Xiaodie watched the sweet interaction between Qiu Feifei and the sister named Xiao Ran the whole time, especially Xiao Ran’s reservedness at the beginning, and the sweet voice with repeated calls of “sister” later.
Li Xiaodie felt that she had missed out on a billion!
“Ahhh! Feifei, you have to bring me along to play next time! I’ll pay half of the play-along fee!”
Li Xiaodie grabbed Qiu Feifei’s arm and shook it vigorously, making Qiu Feifei’s vision blurry.
“Stop shaking, Xiaodie, I’m really getting dizzy!”
Su Ran didn’t know what happened on the employer’s side after the play-along session ended.
Since it was already late at night, Su Ran tidied up his bed and was also preparing to rest.
He didn’t know if it was because he had drunk the restoration potion, but Su Ran felt that he had been feeling listless recently and needed to rely on sleep to replenish his energy.
Before going to bed, he took a look at Isa, who was still meditating.
After five hours of high-level magic essence concentration enhancement service, her magic essence had increased from one hundred and one to one hundred and nineteen.
Compared to before she entered the superhuman sequence, Isa’s magic essence enhancement speed had decreased.
But after stepping into the sequence, every ten points of magic essence was a small step for many people.
For Isa’s current meditation conditions, the progress was actually not slow.
At this time, the system suddenly popped up a notification for Su Ran.
[Resonance event has started, the probability of obtaining “Witch’s Meditation Method” (Part 1) has been increased. After reaching the corresponding number of draws, there is also a mysterious reward!]
Su Ran looked at the six hundred yuan he had just received, and then at this resonance event that cost one hundred yuan per draw.
The expression on his face froze. The play-along fee he had just received didn’t seem to be enough for many draws.
Was the Witch Game really monitoring his wallet at all times?
