TN –
This is an extra chapter thanks to “cyanlaurence”. 
Xiao Qing went through a week that felt like magic and illusion.
No, it should be said that the world’s trajectory started to become magical from the moment he met his good teammate, Sugar.
While he was still worrying about Sugar being stuck in the hospital, struggling to investigate and contact various parties to rescue people, he received a message from Sugar that could be summarized as “Hospital, I’m out.”
It was as if Sugar casually mentioned making a billion before giving him any reaction time. Soon after, dozens of people were released from the hospital, each one seeming disoriented and half-mad. The few people from the National Special Science Department sent to coordinate were not enough, and it took the police to finally get everyone out.
Just as Xiao Qing was getting used to the idea that his terrifying boss was actually his teammate, Sugar took a sudden turn and jumped into the agricultural channel. He began asking Xiao Qing for advice on what vegetables to plant in the back hills, whether raising geese should start with goose eggs and other agricultural inquiries.
Xiao Qing, who grew up in the city, had no knowledge of such matters, so he introduced Sugar to a knowledgeable friend, Love Taoist, who was skilled in farming.
He emphasized that his recommendation was not because of a good relationship with the Love Taoist but because the Taoist was genuinely adept at farming. He had a small vegetable garden in the backyard of his Taoist temple, providing for himself and benefiting friends and family.
Xiao Qing had even received a generous package of vegetables and eggs from him, which were far superior in taste to the expensive organic vegetables in the supermarket. The eggs were so delicious that Xiao Qing considered joining the Taoist temple.
Sugar immediately expressed that the person in charge of the hospital renovation would contact the Love Taoist. Since Sugar was generally reliable, Xiao Qing confidently passed on the information to the Taoist. However, the next day, he received a complaint from the Love Taoist.
Love Taoist: Why didn’t you say who was coming?
Love Taoist: It’s a fierce ghost!
In the middle of the night, in a deep sleep, a creepy atmosphere filled the air. A strong smell of blood scared him, and he grabbed a peachwood sword, ready to fight the fierce ghost. He thought he might not survive the night and had already planned how to distribute his inheritance. Suddenly, he heard a voice full of disdain coming from the mist.
“Put on your pants first.”
That day, the Love Taoist was greatly frightened. He caught Xiao Qing and complained for a long time about the fierce ghost being terrifying and full of murderous aura. On the other hand, Yu Kongyou also came back with a face full of indescribable expressions. He caught Xu Yingtang and complained for half an hour about how monks these days were too unrestrained.
Even if they slept almost naked, they should at least put on some pants. Given the nature of the National Special Science Department’s work, they might have visitors in the middle of the night. Even if the Taoists of the National Special Science Department were open-minded and didn’t mind wearing flashy floral shorts and showing off their leg hair, could they please consider the aesthetic of this innocent fierce ghost?
Those faded, loose, and torn floral underwear!
Really! Ugly!
—The reputation of the National Special Science Department was damaged.
Fortunately, Yu Kongyou finally successfully connected with the secular Love Taoist.

Of course, he could teach, but whether the vegetables could grow and the chickens could survive, he could not guarantee. In theory, nothing should grow in a place of evil spirits, but these days, rice has been improved to the point where it can be grown in the sea. Maybe a couple of small cabbages could grow in a place of evil spirits, and a group of chickens could be raised successfully.
When Yu Kongyou’s newly bought chicks arrived at the hospital, they indeed struggled to adapt to the environment. Animals are much more sensitive than humans, and in a place like the Happy Sanatorium, with countless resentful spirits and offerings to evil gods, the chicks were on the brink of exhaustion after just one night.
It was Love Taoist who came up with a solution, suggesting to also raise a robust and healthy rooster with them. Every day, they sprinkled talcum powder in the chicken coop for sterilization, and they added talisman water to the chicks’ food for disinfection. This prevented Yu Kongyou’s chicken-raising venture from ending before it even started.
The hospital now had the chirping sounds of chicks, adding a lively atmosphere. When patients in Ward 1 and Ward 2 were in good condition, the caregivers would take them out for a stroll. Xu ZhongPing particularly liked squatting by the chicken coop, staring at the chicks. After watching for a long time, the wax-yellow deathly pallor on his face seemed to have lessened.
Yu Kongyou patted his head. Unsure if it was his imagination, Xu ZhongPing seemed to react to his touch, with his eyeballs slightly moving.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Qing was dealing with the persistence of Xu Qi. Xiao Qing considered Xu Qi a stranger with whom they had settled their accounts and hoped never to be in contact again in their next life. However, Xu Qi took the initiative to add Xiao Qing on WeChat.
Faced with Xiao Qing’s WeChat nickname, “My Brother-in-law is a Scum Man,” Xu Qi praised Xiao Qing for cursing loudly at the scum man and agreed that scum men deserved to be scolded. Xiao Qing’s ex-brother-in-law, who had left with nothing, was worlds apart from Xu Qi.
Xu Qi came to find Xiao Qing to inquire about the Happy Sanatorium. They had all heard the story of Shi Yuebai and his haunting and dreamy white moonlight. The good brothers who had been through thick and thin were certainly keeping an eye out for him. When Xu Qi heard the keyword “hospital,” he immediately came, hoping to gather some information to lift the spirits of Shi Yuebai, who was currently low-spirited and immersed in games.
Shi Yuebai might be strong, but facing ten rounds of dungeons a day, he needed something to divert his attention. Don’t waste his limited life in an endless dungeon.
As for Shi Yuebai’s claim of “I have a sense of propriety,” whoever believed him was a fool.
Shi Yuebai sneezed, rubbed his nose, and explained to the young man beside him, “It should be my friend cursing me behind my back.”
There was an 80% chance it was Xu Qi, and a 20% chance Xu Qi started it, and others joined in.
As the weather cooled, some people started to get itchy and wanted to practice.
Xu Yingtang looked at Shi Yuebai’s expression, remained silent for a moment, and responded, “Oh.”
Don’t blame him for responding coldly. This sentence exceeded Xu Yingtang’s social range. He could only put on a polite and friendly smile to help himself adapt to his current teammate’s style.
Xu Yingtang looked at the system message again. The number of players in this round displayed a prominent “2.” In this dungeon, he and the player who called himself “Tim” formed a team. When he opened his eyes, they were in a bumpy and swaying car, and several people in front were chatting animatedly.
It was a seven-seater off-road vehicle, but because it was packed with too much luggage, it looked narrow and cramped. Xu Yingtang and Shi Yuebai, two tall men over 185 cm, were squeezed into the back seat, shoulder to shoulder, and leg to leg, making it hard to turn around without feeling suffocated.
On the right side of the front row was a man with a buzz cut wearing camouflage, his muscles bulging and powerful. On the left side, the middle-aged man called him “Ah Wei,” and Ah Wei called the middle-aged man “Boss Zhao,” showing great respect.
The driver in the front had dark skin and an ordinary appearance. He didn’t talk much, just focused on driving. The man sitting in the co-driver’s seat was small in stature. He first exchanged compliments with Boss Zhao, then glanced at Shi Yuebai and Xu Yingtang, who were sitting silently in the back.
“These two are indeed remarkable.”
The man’s tone was strange, with a hint of disdain for pretty boys and a jealous bitterness.
Boss Zhao laughed and explained, “Indeed, Third Thief has sharp eyes. These two are my helpers, despite their lack of reputation. But their abilities are top-notch.” Boss Zhao gave a thumbs up, then turned to introduce the small man called Third Thief. He was a well-known tomb raider in the underworld, specializing in theft. This time, he would join them in this “big job.”
To be clearer, it was tomb robbing.
And the dungeon Xu Yingtang and Shi Yuebai were participating in was called “Immortal’s Burial Ground.”
D-level difficulty, a two-person dungeon. Xu Yingtang drew the character “Part-time Tomb Raider A,” so it could be reasonably inferred that his teammate was “Part-time Tomb Raider B.”
The character description was also straightforward, almost too simple—Wants money, not life.
Shi Yuebai spoke up, “Now that everyone is here, Boss Zhao, tell us about this earth-shattering job.” He smiled, but the smile was faint and lacked warmth, revealing a hint of fierceness and coldness.
A black cat suddenly jumped onto his shoulder, startling Third Thief, who took a step back.
“I and… this one, we weren’t in this line of work before, but we’re just doing it for the money. So, let’s make everything clear about what needs to be said, to avoid accidentally violating any taboos.”
Shi Yuebai’s tone was indifferent, and golden sparks flickered in his eyes like flames. The black cat on his shoulder let out a mournful cry, its golden vertical pupils shining brightly, frightening Third Thief. Before even starting, he was already intimidated by its imposing manner, and he hadn’t even made a move yet.
He couldn’t help but rub his arms, then heard Xu Yingtang slowly say, “It’s time to make things clear.”
This young man seemed much milder in temperament than his companion, with a smiling face and gentle-looking eyes. However, his words were as sharp as a knife, cutting into people’s hearts.
“After all, we only take the money from the tomb; we don’t do the work of bodyguards.”
This made Third Thief, who was angered by these two shameless amateurs, just about to mock them when suddenly his back chilled. He had a bad feeling and, at the same time, the driver shouted loudly—a dark mass was crawling in front of the road. In the half-dark sky, it was difficult to see clearly what it was, but a pair of eerie green eyes were visible in the shadows, emitting a creepy and evil cold light.
Despite being a seasoned expert, Third Thief firmly held the steering wheel and loudly ordered the driver to close his eyes and accelerate through. However, the car didn’t feel like it ran over any solid object. He nervously opened his eyes, just in time to hear a dull thud on the car roof.
“Don’t stop! Keep driving!” Third Thief quickly revealed his weapon—a sharpened willow club. Ah Wei also shielded Boss Zhao behind him, vigilantly watching the left and right car windows.
Boss Zhao was terrified by this sudden change, pale and sweating profusely. However, he struggled to maintain composure. His peripheral vision inadvertently glanced backward, and he couldn’t help but shout in horror, “Behind! Behind!”
A face was pressed against the rear window!
The face had sparse black hair, a pointed mouth, and monkey-like cheeks. It looked desiccated and decayed, making it unclear if it was a human or a beast. It dangled from the car roof, a pair of murky green eyes greedily staring at the people inside. Its fingernails scratched the car window, making a teeth-souring squeaky sound, leaving scratches on the glass.
“Black-haired zombie!”
Third Thief’s face turned extremely ugly. He didn’t expect to encounter such a demonic creature even before reaching the tomb. He bit his tongue to focus, coldly saying, “This thing is impervious to knives and spears, incredibly strong, and its entire body is filled with corpse poison. It’s not suitable for a direct confrontation. Find an opportunity to shake it off!”
The driver, nervous with palms sweating, didn’t dare to look at what was behind. He clenched his teeth, drifting and using all his driving skills on the road. However, the Black-haired zombie seemed stuck to the car roof, unable to be shaken off. Its nails deeply penetrated the car skin, and it opened its mouth to emit a sharp and piercing howl, a sound that shook people’s hearts and made them fear.
Shi Yuebai and Xu Yingtang both frowned.
Especially Shi Yuebai, with the Black-haired zombie stuck to the window next to him, scratching and howling, irritating him. He suddenly opened the car door, leaned out, and grabbed the head of the Black-haired zombie, forcefully pulling it down from the car roof.
The Black-haired zombie’s steel-skinned and iron-boned skull felt like a paper-thin walnut in his hand. With a crisp sound, it was crushed, and instantly its whole body became boneless, softening into a pile. Shi Yuebai swung his hand and threw it into the roadside bushes.
Finally, it was quiet.
Shi Yuebai sat back in his seat, closed the car door, and met Xu Yingtang’s disapproving gaze.
“What’s wrong?” Shi Yuebai asked.
Xu Yingtang looked around, found a handkerchief from the pocket of the shocked Boss Zhao, and handed it to Shi Yuebai.
“Wipe it off,” he said, staring at the red and black sticky filth on Shi Yuebai’s hands, emitting a foul smell. The more he looked, the more he found it annoying. “It’s very dirty.”
Little Darling was in his pocket, Second Treasure was in his arms, and Third Flora was in his shadow. The three kids were watching, so don’t spoil them.
This teammate clearly looked delicate, so why did he fight so…
Xu Yingtang swallowed certain adjectives and silently moved to sit on the side.
After all, his Little Darling wouldn’t even get messy when eating now.
Author’s Note –
Mother Xu Yingtang: Why is this teammate so messy? [ ໒( ⇀ ‸ ↼ )७ ]
Mother Xu Yingtang: And wasting food [ ヾ( ･`⌓´･)ﾉﾞ ]
Three cubs: Mom said it! This person! No good!
Don’t just throw it away. Cut off the head, wash it clean, the kids are all crying with hunger.

Interesting team mate. Can’t wait for the other chapters. Thanks!
I kinda hope these two make it through this whole dungeon with out figuring out who the other is but instead form strong opinions of the other. Then in the real world Xiao Qing and Xu Qi connect the dots and setup a meetup between them and upon meeting are both like “oh. It’s you.”
+1!!! That would be so funny! Now i’m also rooting for this plotline XD
Yes Shi Yuebai, even Little Darling is not so messy!
