In the end, Jade Qilin was decisively knocked down by Mo Yang, losing three-fourths of her health. However, despite being defeated, her mood improved slightly during the battle with Mo Yang. Although her seductive tactics failed once again, she felt relieved that this handsome guy was considerate even when attacking.
Even in defeat, she didn’t suffer much. But she couldn’t help but lament internally, wondering how they, beautiful women like her, were supposed to survive when all the good men already had boyfriends!
During her battle with Mo Yang, Jade Qilin even took the opportunity to mock the previous encounter with the straight guy, Song Kefeng. She shared how the guy had told her that her seductive behavior would land her in jail.
They both found it quite amusing, and Mo Yang sympathized with the beautiful woman, as it seemed like she was having bad luck with high-quality men today.
They spent about ten minutes roasting Song Kefeng, only to discover that their values and sense of humor aligned quite well. They ended up adding each other as friends after the battle.
Mo Yang noticed that Jade Qilin’s Guide ID was 017, a pretty high number, while Jade Qilin was shocked to see Mo Yang’s ID was 006, indicating his significant rank. She suddenly said, “My luck isn’t that bad after all. You’re probably the one with the highest-ranked Guide I’ve encountered so far. You’re amazing, brother. If we meet in the same game again, let me be your sidekick!”
Mo Yang chuckled in response, “Beautiful lady, you’re flattering me. You reached level three earlier than I did, and in both physical and intellectual aspects, you’re quite outstanding. I’ll pass on having a sidekick, but forming an alliance sounds good.”
Jade Qilin also smiled at his words, finding his conversation quite pleasant. After that, they parted on good terms. Mo Yang returned to his base, a small wooden house in the Dream World, and saw his boyfriend, Wan Mei, looking a bit regretful yet excited.
“You have a peculiar expression on your face,” Mo Yang remarked.
Wan Mei squinted his eyes, approached him with particular gentleness, and patted Mo Yang’s waist. He nodded and shook his head slightly, saying, “High-quality research subjects are not that easy to come by. I only had time to examine the back of his head and make an incision on his arm to study muscle changes before he escaped.”
Mo Yang twitched his mouth, “Song Kefeng?”
Wan Mei nodded, “I didn’t get a chance to see if there were any changes in his internal organs. Well, I’ll have to challenge him again tomorrow.”
Hearing the sincere regret from this research maniac, Mo Yang suddenly felt that being thoroughly examined and closely scrutinized all over his body wasn’t as unacceptable as he initially thought. While the positions differed from his imagination, it was still better than having his skull opened up and his organs explored while being touched.
“Tsk, if he accepts your challenge tomorrow, I’ll be surprised,” Mo Yang quipped. If Song Kefeng really had the courage to face Wan Mei again, Mo Yang would admire him as a true man!!
However, at this moment, Song Kefeng was sitting in his Dream World police station office, looking pale and trembling with fear. He touched the back of his head and the incision on his right arm caused by that sharp dissecting knife. He felt like he had just survived a terrible battle and had been cursed with various negative auras, suffering from negative buffs all over his body.
Song Kefeng was much stronger mentally compared to others, at least he didn’t have a mental breakdown after facing the horrifying dissecting maniac. However, his face was pale, and it was the first time he declared surrender without hesitation.
When he saw his health drop below one-fifth, he knew that he couldn’t endure it any longer. He had no idea if he continued to endure, that person wearing human skin might just open his belly, touch his organs, and casually comment on the health of his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.

Thus, the next morning, when Wan Mei eagerly applied for a rematch with Song Kefeng, he received a ruthless rejection. No matter how many times he applied, Song Kefeng kept rejecting him. He even sent a voice message saying, “Give it up, I don’t want to see you ever again!!!”
Dr. Wan expressed deep regret, thinking that high-quality experimental subjects are not always so easy to obtain. Since the other party is so uncooperative, he should look for his own mice, frogs, and various plant cells. Unfortunately, there are no live ones recently. If volunteers are willing to come over to do his brain nerve experiments, he doesn’t want to provide some experimental fellowships. In this way, the experimenter might be able to be found.
“Well, but, I can also go to other third-level players to study them. They shouldn’t reject me, right?” Wan Mei continued eating the crab dumplings he made himself, looking very earnest and innocent as he asked Mo Yang.
Mo Yang, the CEO, couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, “Currently they’re not rejecting you, it’s just that now they’re just ignorant and unafraid. Trust me, after a few battles with you, no one will want to fight you again. Are you planning to have all the level three players on the leaderboard refuse to fight you? Then, won’t Dream World accuse you of intentionally disrupting the balance of the world or intentionally harming players?”
Wan Mei immediately widened his eyes and spoke seriously, “Then the Dream World is being unreasonable. I am engaged in legitimate scientific research.” He pointed at the desk with his fingers, “Moreover, they have misunderstood me, treating me as some kind of evil maniac. Hmph, if I were that kind of person, would you have accepted my pursuit?”
Mo Yang accidentally bit his tongue while eating a bun and it hurt so much that tears welled up in his eyes. He coughed twice, looking at his boyfriend in amazement, “What gives you the confidence that pursuing you won’t turn me into a maniac?! If it weren’t for the good atmosphere, the beautiful scene, and the emotional turmoil in my heart, I wouldn’t have accepted your pursuit!”
“But now that I’ve already boarded the thief’s ship, what else can I do? Even if I jump into the river, I’ll be fished out and dissected again, right? Perhaps it might even trigger some bizarre plotline like ‘installed some strange chips and controllers in my brain, making me fall in love with you unconditionally.'”
Mo Yang’s imagination was once again running wild, and he suddenly found that his thoughts were quite amusing. But then he quickly shook his head and discarded such terrifying thoughts.
Wan Mei: “…” Seeing his boyfriend like this, he knew that he had started to let his imagination run wild again. To be honest, in this world, what he wanted to research the most was not the cells and growth patterns of mutant plants, nor the individual survival instincts of animals, nor the development and application of human psychology.
From the moment he was inevitably attracted to the person in front of him, he wanted to dissect his brain bit by bit, fully understand his thoughts and actions, and make this person named Mo Yang belong to him completely.
Whenever he thought about that scene, he couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
Mo Yang: “Why are you looking at me like that? Why do I feel like your eyes are very wicked?”
Wan Mei chuckled softly and suddenly said, “I want to dissect your brain, invade your thoughts, and study everything about you.” Thinking of it, his whole body ached.
Mo Yang wasn’t scared away by his words nor did he show any fear on his face. He simply laughed and picked up another crab bun, stuffing it into Wan Mei’s mouth. Seeing his boyfriend’s chubby cheeks bulging, it completely ruined the previous wicked and abstinence-filled atmosphere.
Mo Yang said, “Don’t daydream. If you really invade my brain, in the end, I’ll defeat you. I’m confident in that. Even if you’re an expert, you can’t defeat a dreamer. The development of the world began with our wild imagination, followed by experiments and studies.”
Wan Mei chewed the bun, his gaze deep. “Aren’t you afraid?” he asked.
Mo Yang propped his chin and stuffed another bun into Wan Mei’s mouth, effectively silencing the research maniac. With a smirk, he said, “Afraid of what? Isn’t that you utterly infatuated with my sweet talk? Though it’s a bit unusual, I accepted it. Aren’t you happy?”
“Besides, the various bloody, brutal, disgusting, and horrifying scenes that I’ve imagined in my head would definitely be rated for adults only if shown as a movie. I’m not afraid of dissecting organs, and I can even discuss the color and size of them with you, believe it or not. When it comes to psychological endurance, I’m top-notch!”
Wan Mei’s face beamed with joy, and he hugged and kissed his boyfriend fiercely before reluctantly heading to his research lab. Suddenly, he understood why many researchers in the institute lost focus on their work after falling in love. He used to think that those people were wasting their lives, but now Wan Mei thought that they must have been just like him, encountering a love so unforgettable!
On his way to the research lab, Wan Mei ran into other researchers from the institute and even nodded at them with a smile. They were shocked by this unusually friendly gesture from the “Bottom of the Food Chain Group” of the institute.
They excitedly exclaimed within the group chat: “Oh my god! Today, the Demon King actually nodded and smiled at me voluntarily! Terrifying! Is he about to ask me to be his assistant? Dear God, what did I do right?!”
“Oh no, you were nodded and smiled at too?! So was I! We’re in this together, brother! Now I’m going to ask the director for leave, hope he approves?!”
“Huh? Upstairs, don’t panic. I was nodded and smiled at today too. The Demon King’s research assistants are limited to two, and now, including me, there are three. So, maybe the Demon King still doesn’t intend to have an assistant but has encountered something that has made him ecstatic?”
“…Upstairs, are you implying that the world is about to end? Will research materials be available everywhere? 〣 ( ºΔº ) 〣
I need to hoard supplies in case I don’t have time!”
“Cough, what are you talking about? Can’t you think of something that would make the Demon King happy in a normal way? Like, getting engaged!”
“What?!”
“Ah!!”
“Oh, oh, oh!!”
“My God! If this is true, I’ll thank the heavens for the Demon King’s relationship. Today, my teacher and I will assist the Demon King with an experiment. Wait for my good news! If I come back with a sane mind and still have an appetite, I’ll worship the future fiancée as a guardian deity!”
“+1, waiting for your good news!”
“+2, go for it, brother! The happiness of the bottom of the food chain depends on your experiment!”
Afterward, the entire bottom of the food chain group in the research institute fell silent, while Mo Yang, who was about to leave, noticed that he encountered many unusually behaving young researchers in the institute.
Was it a collective day off today? Fortunately, he had equipped himself with a level three six-hour disguise card, otherwise being stared at by so many people might have been a bit daunting.
Mo Yang left the research institute and called a taxi to go to the filming set where Tang Mian was working. He wanted to see how Tang Mian was doing and also check on Sun XiaoGuai’s current status. If possible, he wanted to see if he could extract any information from Sun XiaoGuai.
Mo Yang was certain that something significant had changed in Sun XiaoGuai. According to the information provided by Zhou Api’s nephew, Sun XiaoGuai’s life had been getting better day by day after the second time she went hysterical that day. She seemed to be radiating with newfound vigor.
However, that was precisely what bothered Mo Yang. He knew that Sun XiaoGuai had failed two game rounds, which meant she had experienced two punishments from the Dream World. Those punishments were terrifying enough to leave severe psychological trauma, yet Sun XiaoGuai, in her current state, appeared to have no fear of failing the game.
Something was fishy, and if he could uncover the truth, he believed he would gain a deeper understanding of the Dream World.
During the four days when he was playing in the Happy Town game, Mo Yang had Tang Mian use his connections to get Sun XiaoGuai into the filming set. Tang Mian had heard from Zhou Api that Sun XiaoGuai was involved in some important information related to Mo Yang, possibly even concerning world peace.
Although he thought the latter part was nonsense, Tang Mian took it to heart and decided to infiltrate the filming set, becoming a producer who only contributed money but not effort. And, without directly rejecting Sun XiaoGuai’s intentions, their relationship seemed to have some ambiguity.
Sun XiaoGuai believed that she had latched onto a golden thigh, while Tang Mian observed her closely every day and started to feel horrified. He now sipped a large cup of ice-cold cola, feeling a chilling sensation in his heart.
Some things didn’t seem inappropriate until they were scrutinized. And Sun XiaoGuai’s situation was exactly like that.
Though Tang Mian was an heir, he was a very serious and sharp-minded one. Growing up with Fish Head, he developed a habit of doing everything to the best of his abilities, even if it required spending a lot of money. So, he bought the most advanced camera phone, a telescope with a built-in recording function, and even flipped through some miscellaneous books on facial microexpressions in psychology to start observing Sun XiaoGuai.
On the first day, he thought Sun XiaoGuai had no acting skills and had an overly dramatic personality. Despite being a new actor who hadn’t even made a name for herself, her attitude seemed as if she was destined to become famous. Her self-confidence seemed excessive. Could it be that she had some background?
On the second day, Tang Mian witnessed some people teasing Sun XiaoGuai. Although she endured it, in the afternoon, the actor who had teased her mysteriously broke his leg. He claimed someone pushed him off the high platform from behind. Others thought he was talking nonsense, but Tang Mian saw Sun XiaoGuai smiling. He took a photo and felt a bit panicky.
On the third day, Tang Mian rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn’t his illusion, Sun XiaoGuai’s skin had become white and tender, as if she had shed a layer of skin compared to the first day!
By the fourth day, Tang Mian found two tall and sturdy bodyguards around him. He looked at Sun XiaoGuai, who smiled sweetly at him, and even found her cute in his heart. He barely managed to smile and screamed in his mind.
“Oh my god!! Fish Head, help meeeeee! I’m being chased by a demon! This woman must be not human!!”
Don’t worry, Tang Mian! Fish Head is on the way to rescue you from that demon! (๑و•̀ω•́)و
he’s good
why is my comment a reply ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I really find it sweet whenever Mo Yang assures Wan Mei through his words. While Wan Mei getting all excited because of his fiancé makes me proud of Mo Yang. Oh, to be able to bend a maniac~ 羨ましい！
OMG is Jade Qilin gonna be a new part of their team? I have a good feeling about her, really. It’s like sugar adding to a cup of coffee, and that cup of coffee is Mo Yang’s previous team. I think she’ll be a part of the people who would save the world (according to Mo Yang).
Thank you so much for the update! I really enjoy your translations! Especially since they come up not just by one, but by two chapters! <3
Ahahah Tang Mian is so cute!
Thank you for the update
Mo Yang just being totally okay with being dissected and thoroughly studied by Wan Mei is… very romantic in my eyes. I, too, wanna thoroughly understand the person I like down to the smallest subliminal detail. But I’m a dreamer, not a researcher, so I have to rely on self-taught psycho analysis and intuition.
Also, wishing Tang Mian all the best, hope he doesn’t get dragged into the Dream World.
Thank you for the chapter!
Oh, this two are so sweet psychopaths
