Mo Yang carefully examined the item cards marked by 006 that could be used in Phoenix Village.
The first thing he looked at was a red card item that had the potential to turn the tide. However, he was surprised to find that the red card items were all grayed out and unavailable for purchase.
“Isn’t it possible to bring item cards from the Dream World into the game world? Why can’t we buy these item cards here?”
006 chuckled upon hearing this: [Indeed, you can bring item cards into the game world, but red cards are not included.]
[We are a fair and just game world. Red cards are the most special cards in the Dream World. They can be taken out of the Dream World and used to change your life. Isn’t that satisfying enough?]
[The game world is where you earn Dream Coins and level up. If we allowed you to buy red card items to enter the game with, it would be like giving away money and experience for free. What a joke, we’re not fools.]
[So don’t daydream. Just focus on clearing the game honestly. Ah, I know Song Aotian told you that he used cards in the game, but he used them in the Dream World on himself before entering the game world. It’s equivalent to not bringing red cards into the game world, so it’s not a violation of the rules.]
Mo Yang furrowed his brows tightly.
“Then, if I directly use a high-level red card with a long duration on myself before entering the game, wouldn’t that also disrupt the fairness of the game?”
At this moment, 009 couldn’t help but interject, laughing sinisterly: [If you have the ability to buy high-level red cards, it’s not a problem at all. It will only last one or two days at most. Which game can be finished in just one or two days? Hahaha.]
Mo Yang stared at 009 for a while, making the guy’s hair stand on end, before coldly laughing and continuing to look at other item cards.
If he believed that the Dream World was a place of fairness, he must be out of his mind. Just the fact that players could use a red card to enhance their abilities before entering the game was already highly unfair.
If players were not in the same faction but enemies in the game world, even if it was only for one or two days, it could greatly reduce the opponent’s strength. However, he didn’t need to worry about that for now.
He focused on examining the white life item cards and black weapon cards.
Among the white cards, there were many modern technological products like flashlights and cameras, but cars and smartphones, which were also modern items, were grayed out and unavailable for purchase.
In the black card section, Mo Yang saw various knives, axes, and even chainsaws, but firearms like handguns were prohibited from purchase.
Then, as Mo Yang scrolled to the bottom of the black card items, he saw an item card called “Mingguang Talisman.” His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked the golden food cards, carefully searching for the food he was looking for—the “Refreshment Soup.”
“Give me ten Mingguang Talismans and ten Refreshment Soups.”
When 006 grew impatient after waiting for a while, Mo Yang finally placed his order.
But 006 hesitated for a moment.
[Hmm, Host, the Mingguang Talisman, and Refreshment Soup are both limited in quantity. You can only buy one of each.]
Mo Yang raised an eyebrow.
“How do you guys run a business in your store? I’m here offering you the opportunity to make money, and you don’t want it? The Mingguang Talisman costs 1000 Dream Coins, and the Refreshment Soup costs 1000 Dream Coins. If I buy ten of each, that’s 20,000 Dream Coins. How much commission do you get from that? Don’t you want to sell them?”
006 thought about the small profit that slipped away from it, and the whole sphere was feeling a bit off.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[Host has a keen eye, knowing that these two things are good items. But precisely because they are good items, they are limited to one per person. Please don’t mention it again. I won’t show favoritism no matter what you say.]
Zb Tjcu ibbxfv ja atf rqtfgf jcv revvfcis ktlrqfgfv: “Qtja lo P boofg 2000 wbgf ab yes jc fzagj Kjilrwjc? Qlii sbe rfii la atfc?”
006 shook with difficulty: [No, I can’t. We have rules. We can’t engage in unauthorized buying and selling. If we’re caught, we’ll be penalized energetically!]
Zb Tjcu ibkfgfv tlr nblmf fnfc oegatfg: “Qtja jybea 5000 obg bcf? Po sbe rfii la, sbe’ii wjxf jc fzagj 4000 Ggfjw Jblcr, jcv la klii yf jii sbegr!”
006 was going crazy.
[No! I refuse! Am I such an unprincipled guide?!] If you raise the price a bit more, I-I’ll secretly sell one to you!
Mo Yang glanced at it. “Oh, forget it. Just give me one of each. Then I’ll buy some other daily necessities to bring along.”
006 exclaimed: [Oh no! You’re not buying anymore?]
Mo Yang smiled and patted 006’s head. “Hmm, you’re a principled guide. I shouldn’t make you go against your principles. Don’t worry.”
006 retorted: […But isn’t it something without principles that can be eaten? Why don’t you insist a little longer, Host?!]
However, the opportunity had slipped away, and 006 could only watch as his rich host bought other items of little value. In the end, he only spent 3650 Dream Coins.
006 looked at this number and thought about the extra 4000 he let slip away earlier, wishing to bury his entire sphere in the ground. It was truly heartbreaking. Next time! Next time, he definitely wouldn’t be so resolute!
After finishing the purchase, Mo Yang turned to Wan Mei, who had been watching him the whole time.
“Buy some raw materials that can be used to make healing powders and put them in the backpack. They’ll definitely come in handy in the game. Now, let me share my speculation about ‘Phoenix Village’s’ background.”
“The ‘Phoenix Village’ we’re entering should be a relatively remote modern tourist scenic area. That’s why there are modern products like flashlights and cameras among the items we can use.”
“Secondly, the people living in this scenic area should have a simple lifestyle and less contact with the outside world, so there’s no need for cars or internet, and communication through mobile phones is not possible.”
“Lastly, ‘Phoenix Village’ might have some unique customs and special legends. There may even be some supernatural powers that have been demonized, which is why the Mingguang Talisman is needed. Usually, in this type of game, those special customs and legends are the focus of puzzles, so once we enter the game, we can actively investigate in the area.”
His hobbies in life are either research or food, and Wan Mei, who doesn’t care about dressing at all and strives for simplicity, frowned slightly: “Why do you still want to wear that jewelry?”
Mo Yang gave him a cold glance and said: “It’s just my speculation, you can decide if you want to wear it or not!”
After uttering those words, he walked away, leaving Wan Mei expressionless, staring at an empty table where all the food had been devoured.
Wan Mei thought: “…” How shameless and confident must someone be to roll their eyes at the person who fed them and served them soup? If it were someone else, they would probably have been dissected on an operating table by now.
Wan Mei sighed and thought: “…” The first rule in “Chasing Your Wife in a Hundred Ways” is to “accept all unreasonable tantrums from your spoiled wife.”
Perhaps he should consider it. After all, Mo Yang was only slightly more pleasant to be around, slightly more likable, and occasionally distracted him from his research and culinary pursuits.
Just these few points. It wasn’t necessary to go any further, right?
Meanwhile, 006 and 009, who had witnessed the entire exchange, whispered to each other.
006: [Damn this fateful connection. How did I end up with you again?]
009: [Hehe, who says it’s not the same for me? How did I end up with you again?]
006: “…” However, our host is quite impressive. Almost all his speculations about the background were accurate. When he mentioned the last point, I almost thought I leaked the plot.
009: [My host isn’t easy to handle either. The self-made medicinal powder he created can be used as a prop in the game. It’s like having a built-in cheat code.]
006 and 009 exchanged glances, each catching a glimpse of the mixed emotions of joy and frustration on the other’s round surface. But in the end, the two spheres came together and giggled mischievously.
One day later.
Mo Yang lay on the luxurious bed in the hotel suite and activated the “Do Not Disturb” sign.
Three days ago, he became outrageously rich again after taking away the gold bars given to him by his childhood friend, Tang Mian. He resumed his extravagant lifestyle as a wealthy CEO.
He secretly visited Tang Mian’s home to make sure that the guy had returned and was immersed in the game, assuring himself that Tang Mian wouldn’t come out and wander around for at least half a month or even a full month. Once satisfied, he left.
He also paid a visit to the development department’s director, Qi, whom he had injured but not killed. Qi was still clinging to life in the intensive care unit. Mo Yang suddenly regretted how he dealt with those two scumbags who falsely accused his father and even claimed to have witnessed his father’s suicide by jumping off a building.
He should have treated them like he did Qi, allowing them to suffer and live in torment.
Qi’s hospital room was under special surveillance and guard, as the people were afraid he might return to commit more murders.
However, Mo Yang’s thoughts had changed by this point. He no longer intended to kill Qi. He had acted impulsively before. Killing those three lackeys wouldn’t make his father rest in peace, would it?
Since it was revenge he sought, he naturally had to find the mastermind. Thus, not only would he refrain from killing Qi, but he would also lend him a hand when he couldn’t hold on any longer.
Tang Mian informed him that this incident had already alarmed the highest levels of the country. Therefore, the one who should be anxious wasn’t him but rather the big shot.
Mo Yang wanted to see how that big shot would handle him and deal with the subsequent issues.
He closed his eyes and once again descended onto that beautiful blue planet.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the yard of his house, with Wan Mei standing ready in the opposite yard.
However, Mo Yang felt frustrated when he saw Dr. Wan’s attire.
“What are you wearing? Didn’t I ask you to dress nicely?” he exclaimed.
Wan Mei looked down at his suit and the white handcrafted research lab coat he wore over it. He raised his head and calmly gazed at Mo Yang, expressing through his eyes that this was his most formal attire.
CEO Mo said: “… Have you never worn anything other than suits and lab coats?”
Wan Mei raised an eyebrow slightly and replied: “I’ve also worn school uniforms.”
Mo Yang stared at him in shock and finally surrendered to Wan Mei’s unflappable gaze. He casually summoned the system’s online store and quickly browsed through it, buying some clothes.
He had previously asked 006 about the game world of Phoenix Village, and it was set in autumn.
Soon, Mo Yang had a few autumn outfits in his hands. He disdainfully glanced at the white lab coat and black suit worn by his neighbor and directly handed him three pieces of clothing—a knee-length silver-gray windbreaker, an off-white pure wool sweater, and light gray casual trousers.
While Mo Yang gestured for Wan Mei to change into the outfit he had selected, he swiftly and neatly took off his own clothes. He put on the same off-white sweater and denim casual pants as Wan Mei, and then grinned mischievously as he put on a very eye-catching bright red men’s overcoat.
After casually tousling his slightly long hair, he blinked at Wan Mei, who had been silently observing him.
“How about this? With this look, I’m guaranteed to turn heads wherever I go.”
Wan Mei couldn’t help but admit that the current Mo Yang, with his proud and radiant smile, was extremely pleasing to the eye.
His slightly slanted eyes were filled with a self-satisfied glimmer, and the red overcoat he wore didn’t make him look feminine at all. Instead, it exuded a fervent and exuberant sense of youth.
Wan Mei suddenly realized that Mo Yang suited the color red very well. Just as he had said, if this person walked down the street, he would undoubtedly attract many involuntary gazes. After all, humans are mostly sensory creatures, and the most direct sense is sight.
With this thought, Dr. Wan suddenly felt somewhat displeased. He shifted his gaze away from Mo Yang and closed his eyes. Soon, his suit and lab coat was replaced by the clothes that Mo Yang had chosen for him.
He didn’t want to dwell on why he was willing to spend time on trivial matters like clothing and simply accepted the clothes chosen for him.
But when he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Mo Yang standing in front of him, touching his chin and looking appreciative.
“Dr. Wan, although I don’t want to admit it, your looks are really good. Just a tiny bit inferior to mine.”
Without the cold lab coat and the black, rigid suit, the man wearing the off-white sweater finally had a touch of warmth, no longer pushing people away from a distance. The silver-gray windbreaker worn by this slightly slender yet tall man gave off a strong sense of quality, combining to create a unique temperament.
Wan Mei silently watched as Mo Yang spoke and raised his hand to put a silver, intricately carved phoenix bracelet on his wrist, and then did the same for himself.
Only then did Wan Mei speak up: “What’s the purpose of this bracelet?”
Mo Yang casually replied: “I don’t know. Just in case. This is Phoenix Village, right?”
Wan Mei glanced at his wrist, and gently shook it, seemingly a little uncomfortable, but in the end, he didn’t take it off.
[Cough cough! Host! Are you ready? The gateway to the Phoenix Village game world has opened! This game is a small-scale multiplayer dungeon. Wishing you a pleasant experience! Achieve a good clearance result as soon as possible!!]
As Mo Yang and Wan Mei lifted their feet together, carrying their respective backpacks, and stepped into the gateway of the game, 006 suddenly added another remark.
[Oh, I forgot to tell the host. In suspense reasoning games, frequent entry and exit from the game world and dream world are not allowed! Please refer to the game rules for details. Mwah mwah!]
Mo Yang: “…” Damn it, 006, telling him the crucial issue right before entering the game again!!
The scenery suddenly changed before Mo Yang’s eyes, and he found himself sitting on a tourist bus.
A sweet voice sounded from the front of the bus: “Everyone can start packing up. We are about to reach the destination of this trip, the most beautiful and mysterious, as well as the best place to encounter romantic encounters, Phoenix Village!”
