With that, Xiao Lan took Luo and headed for the door.
The description of the method to seal Yin was very easy: they only needed to make the god statue face the moonlight, pour the perfume on the god statue, then chant the incantation. However, it was already very close to the next period; it was still better to seal Yin and clear the game as soon as possible.
Cheng Wenyi’s voice rang out behind them. “I want to change first. I’ll come find you later.”
Since he had to make an appearance before everyone, Cheng Wenyi naturally wouldn’t allow himself to be seen like this, covered in blood and sweat; his title as Lunhui’s number one hottie forbade him from doing so.
Shooting a look at Cheng Wenyi, Xiao Lan felt that he might never be able to be such a delicate boy. He just reminded the other, “Ten minutes.”
Cheng Wenyi waved his hand. “I know.”
Leaving Cheng Wenyi in the meeting room, Xiao Lan and Luo headed downstairs.
Previously, with Cheng Wenyi and Mu Yang present, he couldn’t directly destroy the incense burner. Based on Cheng Wenyi’s knowledge and experience, if he saw this, he would very easily guess Xiao Lan’s method of obtaining poverty value, and might guess even more things related to Xiao Lan’s skill.
Although they would cooperate if there was an opportunity, they had yet to discuss it, right? If, by any chance, discussions fell through, Xiao Lan had to be a little more prepared.
Taking advantage of the moment when it was just the two of them, Xiao Lan hurriedly took a trip to the toilet and effortlessly destroyed the incense burner Luo was holding.
“Destroyed item, poverty value increased by 13 million.”
The beautiful poverty value notification rang out, putting him in a cheerful mood.
•
Swiftly disposing of the fragments of the incense burner, the two arrived at the lounge.
Hu Zhai, Hua Bei, and Mo Dan were all standing guard beside the god statue. Seeing Xiao Lan and Luo walk over, they couldn’t help sighing in relief together, and the worry and anxiety in their expressions faded.
Especially Hu Zhai. His gaze towards Xiao Lan was like a little puppy who had seen its owner. “Great, you’re finally back!”
Despite his limpid gaze, there was nothing healing about it at all when paired with his plate-sized face.
Xiao Lan couldn’t help secretly rubbing the goosebumps that popped up on his arms. He took out the perfume he got from Cheng Wenyi and told the players who were present, “We now have all the items to seal Yin. Let’s start ba.”
Right at that moment, as if sensing that all the items to seal Yin had been gathered, the temperature around them suddenly dropped.
It wasn’t like the chill from a gust of cold wind blowing past, but as if someone had suddenly opened a freezer. The temperature instantly dropped as if falling from a steep cliff; it was clearly some supernatural phenomenon.
Hua Bei grew vigilant. “S- something’s h- here.”

The other was a lump with a practically indiscernible form that was lackadaisical and unconstrained. There were large red, green, blue, and purple patches all over its body. It looked extremely wild and unruly, and was full of a unique artstyle.
The two monsters that suddenly appeared did their utmost to take a stab at human aesthetics.
And these two looked inexplicably familiar to Xiao Lan. It seemed like he had seen this scene, which was like the site of a traffic accident, under the hands of two particular artists?
He looked at Luo, but only saw serenity in his face, and was simply unable to see anything of his opinion about his own artwork coming to life.
Hu Zhai, who was frightened by these two overly abstract-looking things, backed up a couple of steps. “What… what are these monsters? Too scary!”
Mu Yang, who just happened to rush over in time to see this scene: “…”
Luo, who initially wanted to pretend nothing happened: “…”
He felt like his art was being insulted.
Unexpectedly, the monsters the players had created when they had been working had come to life. Xiao Lan was incomparably delighted that he had decisively chosen to slack off when he saw the software interface and hadn’t attempted to challenge his modelling skills and create some grotesque thing.
One extra monster was nothing, but this sort of art level being made public for condemnation was truly too humiliating.
The two monsters created by the players slowly approached, their feet chafing the floor and creating “shhha”, “shhha” sounds.
However, their bodies were truly too uncoordinated, and they were unable to even walk in a straight line. As soon as they weren’t careful, the thin and crooked little legs and the thick, multi-coloured little legs tripped over each other. The two monsters thus fell to the ground.
They struggled on the ground. For a time, they couldn’t get back up, and even started to tear at each other. There truly was no sense of oppression at this sight at all.
The players who were prepared for a fight: “…”
You guys here to make us laugh?
Finally, the creators, Luo and Mu Yang, stepped forward and disposed of one each. The two monsters dissipated in bursts of smoke. Thus ended this supposed attack, though it was better to call it an affront to aesthetics.
Hu Zhai composed himself. “There’s not much time left. We should quickly seal Yin ba.”
The players pushed the god statue into the moonlight. Young master Xiao Lan couldn’t touch this god of wealth statue because of his poverty value, and could only stand to one side.
Soon, the god statue had been pushed to stand under the moonlight.
Holding the perfume, Xiao Lan stepped forward. He now just had to pour Fushan Lingquan over the Yinyue god statue, then chant the sentence, “Visitant from nowhere, return whence you came.”
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but a mishap occurred in an instant.
“Gurggg… grg…” Mo Dan, who had been standing quietly close to Xiao Lan, produced a strange sound in his throat. He then abruptly raised his head as the skin on his face dropped to reveal the red muscles underneath.
Mo Dan always had a very low sense of existence and didn’t speak often, so people didn’t notice him much. This person had looked completely fine before this, yet there was something clearly off about his condition now.
Unexpectedly, everyone present didn’t know when he had been entrapped!
Mo Dan’s mouth opened as wide as it could go, and his movements were swift as he fiercely tried to bite Xiao Lan’s hand which was holding the perfume bottle.
Xiao Lan’s reaction was extremely quick, and he countered with a punch to the face the instant Mo Dan tried to bite him.
Mo Dan was sent flying and tumbled to the ground. All four limbs on the floor like a feral beast, he threw himself at Xiao Lan again.
The surrounding players also reacted and blocked him, but unexpectedly, he was extraordinarily quick and oddly powerful. He immediately broke through the obstructions before him and leapt at Xiao Lan again.
Luo, who was always beside Xiao Lan, moved. His figure flashed and he directly appeared before Mo Dan. Lifting one long, slender leg, he stomped on Mo Dan’s chest with an elegant posture but without the slightest bit of gentleness, and sent Mo Dan flying again.
Taking advantage of Luo’s obstruction, Xiao Lan was just about to approach the god statue, when he abruptly paused —
Something was off about the god statue.
The god statue which they had brought over was gold all over and emitted the radiance of the nouveau riche. Right now, however, there was a round, red dot in the center of this god statue’s forehead, like a cinnabar mole.
Because of this red dot, the god statue, which originally looked sly and stout, inexplicably appeared a little monstrous. Even the smile on its face now looked a little strange.
As for how this change had come about… Xiao Lan looked at Mo Dan nearby, who had changed beyond recognition, and made a guess. Mo Dan had triggered some death trap who knew when, but didn’t directly disappear like the other players; rather, similar to being possessed, he secretly did things behind their backs when the players’ guards were down.
The players were fully occupied with Yin and weren’t wary at all towards the people around them, which allowed Mo Dan to find an opportunity to tamper with the god statue.
And this god statue that had already been tampered with clearly could no longer seal Yin.
The next second, changes began occurring on the god statue’s metal face. The corners of his lips tilted up while the other parts of his face remained the same as he gave a grotesque smile.
Almost at the same time, the red dot on the god statue’s forehead began to spread like a spider web, instantly encompassing the god statue’s entire body. Crack — the strange god statue was covered in cracks, but strangely did not shatter.
The red area was still expanding, but after this odd scene occurred, the god statue’s silhouette slowly weakened, like it was about to turn invisible.
A figure appeared behind the god statue; greyish blue and transparent, it was similar to a person, yet more like a floating corpse, its body carrying traces of rot and festering — it was Yin.
Yin was fusing with the god statue!
In the designer’s setting, the Yinyue god statue and Fushan Lingquan were all items to control Yin. However, now that it had tampered with the god statue, Yin unexpectedly even dared to swallow up the god statue. What backstory did this guy have ah?!
The players currently really wanted to grab that designer and see how much water was in his head for him to create such a deceptive thing; unfortunately, this dear friend had already died so badly he couldn’t be any more dead.
It was very obvious that this monster which killed to strengthen itself would very likely become even more powerful after swallowing up the god statue.
Even worse was that the bell for 04:44 rang, indicating that the time for Yin to attack the players had arrived.
In the wake of the bell, Mo Dan, who had originally been fighting the players, abruptly disappeared. The players who had been battling him all had blank faces, as if they had forgotten what they had just been doing.
Yin’s bloated face revealed an elated smile, as if it had waited for this moment for a very long time.
At that moment, Yin just happened to finish gobbling up the god statue. Its body instantly vanished in thin air.
The next second, Xiao Lan felt that hair-raising sense of danger once again. Relying on his intuition, the muscles on his body stretched taut and he suddenly leapt to the side.
At the same time, a chunk of ground where Xiao Lan had been standing directly disappeared.
Yin completely disregarded the other players as it persistently attacked Xiao Lan.
Looking at the perfume in his hands, Xiao Lan instantly understood. Yin was afraid.
To the monster who had been created according to the designer’s setting, the god statue and perfume were both the bane of its setting. Even if it had already destroyed the god statue so that they couldn’t continue with the seal, it still wouldn’t let the perfume off.
This meant — that the perfume could still restrain it.
As Xiao Lan narrowly avoided Yin’s attack again and again, he searched for an opportunity.
However, now that Yin had already disappeared, he was unable to find its figure in the air.
Just as the situation seemed to have fallen to an impasse, tender green grass suddenly sprouted on the floor out of nowhere, covering the entire space in the lounge.
Hua Bei took back his hand, in which he held an item. “Places where there are monsters, t- the grass will wilt.”
That also meant that Yin’s whereabouts could be anticipated ahead of time with the grass.
Hua Bei had barely finished speaking, when a patch of lush grass beside Xiao Lan began withering at a visible speed, indicating Yin’s position.
Xiao Lan directly opened the perfume bottle and splashed it in Yin’s direction. The lustrous red liquid cut a gem-like arc in the air and directly fell through empty air.
The air where nothing could be seen at first suddenly revealed Yin’s translucent greyish blue body. Its figure flickered in and out, but it was no longer able to completely hide in the air.
A trace of astonishment flashed across its swollen face, as if it had never thought it would be exposed.
However, Xiao Lan deeply understood the principle of taking advantage of your weakness to kill you, and with a flip of his hand, 【Introduction to the fundamental principles of Marxism】was pasted on Yin’s body.
Now, the time to transcend physics had come.
YAYYY!! A double update ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯
I’m sure Luo can find a way to devour Yin and get stronger, and protect Xiao Lan! XD
Yaaay!!
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
never knew that physics could be used like this… i guess this is the only thing it is good for
When you trying protect yourself by destroying dangerous for you things… but then Xiao Lan appear and you understand that your first method of death exualy was not so bad
thanks for the chapter~
Thank you for new bab ❤️
Thanks for the chapter! ^^)❤
Go Xiao Lan! Kick some butt!
thanks for the double update! <3
Yuhuuuuu TYSM
Thank you for the chapter~
I laughed so hard when those poor creations of Luo and MY appeared hahaha xD
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
“The time to transcend physics” hahaha as always this story is a masterpiece. I love Luo and Mu Yang’s aesthetic sins coming back to literally haunt them, too beautiful. Of course, it’s definitely useful that they didn’t create competent monsters, but the imagery…just incredible. I love this story a lot
Thank you so much for translating! <3
💜💜💜
First thing first, eventhough the fight ended in a humorly way, I still can’t see Cheng Wenyi in good light. I mean who would do such a thing as endangering human lives just to test Xiao Lan?
