Chen Junnan couldn’t resist the stubborn Yun Yao and ultimately brought her along to Earth-Snake’s game venue.

Following the map, the two walked for about an hour and a half before finally arriving at their destination.

This was a very large building that appeared to be a single-floor museum.

At the entrance of the museum stood a hunched figure. He had a withered yellow snake head, and the skin on his body looked somewhat dry, now covered in wrinkles like an old man.

He was slightly bent at the waist, his oversized suit hanging on him like it was draped over a coat rack.

From a distance, he saw Yun Yao, and the pupils in his dark yellow eyes immediately became vertical, turning into thin, elongated lines.

“Hehe…!” He laughed. “Good! Excellent!”

His hoarse voice accompanied by the unique “hissing” sound of snakes made one feel nauseated.

Yun Yao completely ignored Earth-Snake’s gaze and stood directly in front of him.

“Admission fee?” Yun Yao asked.

“Four per person… hehe…” Earth-Snake swallowed and said, “With your looks… you can also use clothes to pay. One piece of clothing for one ‘Dao.'”

“Not necessary.” Yun Yao pulled out four “Dao” from her bag and tossed them to Earth-Snake, then asked, “How many people are needed?”

Earth-Snake accepted the “Dao” somewhat disappointedly and said, “Twelve people.”

“Alright, I’ll wait.” Yun Yao nodded, walked to the side, and leaned against the wall, while Earth-Snake’s gaze continued to wander over Yun Yao’s body.

Chen Junnan slowly positioned himself between Yun Yao and Earth-Snake, blocking that disgusting stare.

But he felt this was a bit difficult.

The admission fee was four “Dao”?

Yesterday when he went out wandering, he had only earned two “Dao” in total. Did he now have to borrow two from Yun Yao?

After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and handed his two “Dao” to Earth-Snake.

After Earth-Snake took them, he looked at him with confusion. “Where’s the rest?”

“Wait a moment…”

Chen Junnan bent down and busied himself for a while, then picked up two dirty socks.

“So… old man…” Chen Junnan said somewhat embarrassedly, “Back in my neighborhood, I’m considered a pretty handsome young man. Today I’ll use these socks as collateral first, and when this young master gets rich, I’ll definitely redeem these socks. Please don’t mind them.”

“Wh-what?” Earth-Snake immediately hid his outstretched hand behind his back. “I don’t want them!”

“Hey! Please don’t be so polite! I came empty-handed, didn’t have anything to show my respects with. You take these back and wear them first, and when you have something more suitable, exchange them!”

Looking at the two dirty socks, Earth-Snake couldn’t help but step back. “Are you out of your mind?! Who wants your stinking socks?!”

“Are you discriminating?” Chen Junnan turned back and pointed at Yun Yao. “I’m only slightly less attractive than that young lady. Her clothes can be used as payment, but my socks can’t?”

“Boy! Are you looking for trouble?!”

“I’m looking for trouble?!” Chen Junnan said with a wronged expression. “Sir, I’m paying the admission fee according to your rules! If you don’t want the socks, I can reluctantly offer my underwear, but you’ll have to wait a moment—I need to find a place to take them off.”

“Under… underwear?”

“This young master didn’t bathe today, so the underwear should be perfectly seasoned. If you don’t mind, take them for your collection. Rest assured, I definitely won’t tell anyone else.”

Watching Earth-Snake being so angry that he kept backing away, Yun Yao couldn’t help but laugh out loud with a “pfft.”

“Ha…” She wiped the corner of her eye. “You’re quite interesting. I’ll lend you two.”

“Oh? Is that okay?” Chen Junnan smiled somewhat embarrassedly. “Give me a bit more time, I might be about to convince him.”

Yun Yao smiled and shook her head. “You’re planning to use those two dirty socks in your hand to convince an ‘Earth-level’?”

“The probability isn’t high, but I’m just someone who doesn’t give up,” Chen Junnan said.

Yun Yao pulled out two “Dao” from her bag, casually tossed them to Earth-Snake, then said to Chen Junnan, “Remember to pay me back when you win.”

“Ah? You’re really too generous!” Chen Junnan bent down to put on his socks, then was about to shake hands with Yun Yao.

Yun Yao was also startled and backed away repeatedly. “A handshake isn’t necessary… I appreciate the thought.”

“Hey, don’t mind.” Chen Junnan wiped his hand on his pants. “Just watch today—I’ll definitely return the ‘Dao’ to you.”

Earth-Snake frowned as he stared at Chen Junnan, feeling somewhat uneasy.

When he was still a “Human-level,” he seemed to have seen this figure before, but it had been so long ago that what happened then had become somewhat forgotten.

He vaguely remembered that this person was a troublemaker who never played by the rules. The upcoming game might be a bit troublesome.

“Big star, have you been here before?” Chen Junnan asked.

“No, but other teammates have scouted this place, so I know what kind of person Earth-Snake is.”

“Well, since you’re so generous, this young master will protect you.” Chen Junnan said. “After the rules are explained, just coast along and watch my performance.”

Yun Yao looked at Chen Junnan with some curiosity. She had never met someone like this. If you said he seemed like a good person, his words and actions were extraordinarily frivolous. If you said he wasn’t a good person, he hadn’t done anything out of line so far, and instead inexplicably gave one a sense of security.

The two were waiting when they suddenly saw a woman in white clothes walking toward them from a distance.

Upon seeing this woman in white, both of them were momentarily stunned.

She looked somewhat familiar, as if they had just seen her yesterday…

But as she walked closer step by step, the two realized that this figure in white seemed quite different from their memory.

She was a girl with plain features. Her eyes looked very determined, but her clothes and hairstyle were somewhat similar.

“Hello.” She nodded to Chen Junnan and Yun Yao, then turned and walked in front of Earth-Snake. “Excuse me, how much is the admission fee?”

Earth-Snake looked over the girl’s limbs exposed outside her white dress, his gaze obscene as he said, “Four ‘Dao.’ If you don’t have enough, you can use clothes to pay. Two pieces of clothing can substitute for one ‘Dao.'”

“Hey! You sure know how to do business.” Chen Junnan sneered from the side. “For average-looking people, two pieces of clothing for one ‘Dao.’ For pretty ones, one piece of clothing for one ‘Dao.’ For someone extremely handsome like me, you won’t even accept socks plus underwear.”

“Shut your mouth!” Earth-Snake cursed.

The girl in white smiled and said, “I don’t need to exchange clothes. I have ‘Dao.'”

She took out four “Dao” and handed them to Earth-Snake, then nodded to Chen Junnan and Yun Yao in acknowledgment and quietly stood to the other side.

“Is it just me with this feeling?” Chen Junnan said. “This girl’s figure… looks familiar.”

“Her physique is somewhat like Qi Xia’s wife,” Yun Yao nodded. “But her face looks completely different.”

“Hey, interesting.” Chen Junnan smiled and nodded. “If this girl survives, I’m going to bring her back for Old Qi to see no matter what.”

“What for?” Yun Yao asked with confusion.

“To play matchmaker.” Chen Junnan picked his nose. “Old Qi likes this type.”
