The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 146 Second-Tier Beginner Secret Realm, Suburban Mountain Villa

The suburban villa, located on the eastern outskirts of the city, is only five kilometers away from the Longshen New City, which is currently under construction.

soon.

Zeng Shen drove the two women to their destination.

At the entrance of the villa, several burly men dressed in black stood guard.

Beside the burly man in black stood two young men dressed in expensive designer clothes, holding flowers, standing on tiptoe, constantly looking into the villa.

Zeng Shen parked his RV in the parking space in front of the resort.

The two young men looked over in this direction with a puzzled expression.

When they saw Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong get off the bus, the two young men's eyes lit up, and they ran over quickly, one after the other.

The young man who ran up first said, "Good morning, Qingqing. I've come to see you filming your short drama again. This is a gift for you, along with some flowers. I hope we can have lunch together at noon."

Another young man ran up to Liu Tongtong and said, "Tongtong, me too. I like you. Can I ask you to have lunch with me later?"

Upon seeing the two young men, Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong's good mood vanished instantly.

The two people, who were initially overjoyed at Zeng Shen's return, instantly turned cold.

"Lin Hui, I don't need your gift. Besides, this is my boyfriend. Please have some self-respect," Li Yuqing said, putting her arm around Zeng Shen intimately.

"Impossible." The young man named Lin Hui looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief. "You must have hired a shill, pretty boy. Who are you?"

Lin Hui glared angrily at Zeng Shen.

"Hmph, Lin Hui, I'm warning you to watch your words."

Li Yuqing snorted coldly, turned her head and kissed Zeng Shen, then said indifferently to him:

"Lin Hui, have you given up yet?"

Lin Hui's eyes widened as he pointed at Li Yuqing, then at Zeng Shen, saying, "You...you break up with Li Yuqing, or I'll make you regret it, you worthless pretty boy..."

"Lin Hui, get out of here."

Li Yuqing angrily interrupted Lin Hui when he tried to continue, swearing at him and slapping him across the face.

"Snapped."

A clear slap rang out.

Lin Hui, clutching his hand that had been slapped hard, felt utterly humiliated and roared, "Li Yuqing, we've known each other since we were kids! And now you're hitting me for this pretty boy? You slut..."

Zeng Shen frowned, not bothering to waste words with him, and cast a spell, "Acute Gastroenteritis," at him.

moment.

The young man named Lin Hui was about to curse when he suddenly stopped, instead clutching his stomach, looking around, and then dashing quickly into a nearby grove of trees.

And the other side.

Liu Tongtong coldly rejected the young man in front of her, saying, "Ye Li, I have someone I like. Please don't do this kind of thing anymore."

"Tongtong, please give me a chance. I can change what kind of person you like."

"No need for this futile effort, let's go back." Liu Tongtong said, turning past him to Zeng Shen and Li Yuqing beside the driver's seat.

"Let's go, we're going to be late."

"Ah, right, honey, let's hurry into the villa, otherwise those two little girls, Huang Yuxing and Wu Xinyue, will start nagging me about being late again," Li Yuqing said, pulling Zeng Shen's hand.

"There are no scenes with Yuxing in today's two episodes, and her mother has asked her to take two days off to go back to her parents' home, so she won't be on set," Liu Tongtong corrected, following closely behind.

As for the two young men, Zeng Shen didn't bother asking the two women anything; after all, they were just flies. When Zeng Shen reached the gate of the manor, the two burly men in black standing there immediately recognized him and said:
"Brother Shen."

"Uh." Li Yuqing was taken aback. "Honey, you know them?"

"My wife is unhappy that Tifa, who plays the male lead, is a friend that Xiao Ai introduced to her husband before."

"I see." Li Yuqing's expression brightened, and then she took his hand and said, "Honey, hurry inside, I'm going to be late."

Zeng Shen smiled and immediately followed him inside.

Just as he was about to step inside, a rapid notification sound rang in his ears.

[Danger! Danger! The host is about to enter the Tier 2 Beginner Secret Realm, the Suburban Mountain Villa. With the host's current strength, there is a possibility of being trapped in the secret realm, making it difficult to pass through and obtain the abundant item cards, resource cards, or even rare card rewards to leave. The host must leave immediately, improve their strength, and then re-enter the secret realm to break through its core and complete the first clear.]

"A Tier 2, Beginner Level Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing the newly issued warning of danger, Zeng Shen's expression faltered slightly.

How did this suburban mountain villa become a secret place?
Could it be that, under the impact of divine energy, some places on Earth will gradually evolve into a secret realm?
Those who enter the secret realm will receive various reward cards once they break through its core.

Zeng Shen frowned and thought it over carefully, feeling that it was very likely.

He just didn't know whether these secret realms could only be accessed once per person, or whether they would disappear after the first access.
Zeng Shen was pulled into the villa by Li Yuqing.

He then saw a number of busy people standing in the center of the villa not far away, fiddling with filming props.

In the central area where the filming took place, Xiao Di, dressed in a black suit, was giving orders to Bai Qi, who was playing the role of a secretary, in the guise of a domineering CEO.

Zeng Shen walked over and saw a familiar little girl in the rest area not far away.

The little girl was dressed in a tomboy outfit and was holding a script, reciting it seriously.

"Xiao Xinyue," Zeng Shen called softly.

Wu Xinyue heard a familiar voice calling her from behind.

She turned her head, her eyes immediately brightening, and she uttered a clear and delighted voice, "Uncle Shen, what are you doing here? And why is Sister Qingqing holding you? Are you Sister Qingqing's boyfriend?"

"Yes, where's your dad?" Zeng Shen readily admitted, walked over, and sat down next to Xiao Xinyue, asking.

"My dad didn't come today. He went to the building that Sister Xiao Ai is building; he needs to supervise and sign off on it. He'll pick me up tonight," Wu Xinyue said.

Zeng Shen nodded and said, "That's perfect. Let's go out for dinner together tonight. I have a box of baby formula that your dad asked me to buy in the back of my car. I can give it to him while I'm at it."

"Hmm, Uncle Shen, where should we eat tonight?"

Wu Xinyue had only asked half of her question when a girl walked over and said, "Sister Qing, Sister Tong, Little Yueyue, it's your turn."

"So fast." Wu Xinyue pouted, then said to Zeng Shen, "Uncle Shen, we have to go ahead first."

"Honey, you can wait for us here, or if you get bored, you can wander around."

"Go ahead, I'll wander around here."

As Zeng Shen spoke, he began to wander around the villa.

I saw the hotel staff, or some other living creature.

He threw a spying eye at them.

They attempted to gain more information about the secret realm by analyzing their appearance through their voyeuristic eyes.

[A corpse found dead in a secret realm.]
