"Hey, popular music, you should have said so earlier. There are plenty of popular ones. To be honest, I only recently started practicing folk arts. Popular music is our original specialty."
Gui Naifen patted her chest.
"Family members! Today I'm going to perform fire-eating for you all! If you like it, please remember to follow and share."
"oh oh……"
The raven then showed an expression of interest.
"What...are you doing?"
Gray Snake couldn't stand watching this farce any longer.
However, the arrival of the gray snake did not affect Gui Naifen's ability to condense a fireball in her hand.
"Family members! Watch closely! I'm going to swallow Xiao Guizi!"
“That’s it, watch her perform,” Raven said matter-of-factly. “Well, Gray Serpent, you wouldn’t understand, would you?”
No, I understand.
Gray Snake watched as Gui Naifen raised the fireball high and then stuffed it into her mouth.
"So I was thinking, what if this juggling act fails..."
Bang-!
"Eh eh eh eh?"
Katsura Nai-fen, who was knocked down and pinned to the ground by the raven, looked bewildered.
At this moment, a look of lingering fear appeared in the raven's eyes.
"Give me the clothes, three thousand Japanese, and you two will have to pay the living expenses for these zero months. After that, you are not allowed to participate in any dangerous activities."
Damn it! I just realized! If anything happens to these two, forget about a raise, the Snake Master will probably tie her to the operating table!
"Huh? I have a lot of experience with this."
"Experience won't help! You might as well bite a lighter! No, you're not allowed to bite a lighter either!"
"I won't bite a lighter! Shall I perform a sword swallowing act for you?"
You might as well bite a lighter!
Raven angrily rebuked, then pulled out three banknotes from his pouch and threw them to Liu Bai beside him.
"Aren't you her boss? Keep an eye on her! Don't let her do this again!"
"Miss Raven, you don't miss Xiao Guizi either..."
"Five thousand!"
As the skirt-clad, Qi Duling, and Ya Ba viciously emerged from the land, her favorability rating also dropped from 20 to 15.
[+5000g]
"G" is the currency in this global metropolis; it's just a random abbreviation of "gold"...
"Miss Raven, where are our rooms?"
"Can't you live inside the pot?"
...Well, living in the pot isn't bad either; at least it's safer than outside.
"By the way, are my bodyguard and I allowed to go out normally?"
Liu Bai didn't ask Raven about this; he asked Gray Snake instead.
"Yes, but please take this with you."
Gray Snake nodded politely and took out two bracelets.
"The Lord has designated your activity time to be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you do not agree, then I apologize."
Location-based communication wristband
"Please rest assured, this is not a dangerous item." Gray Snake explained to Liu Bai as he took the bracelet, "This is a positioning and communication device to prevent you from being hijacked... After all, the entire city now knows about the 'visitors from outer space,' and other forces have already issued bounties. Although your appearance has not yet been revealed, we still need to be cautious. Moreover, not all organizations maintain a neutral attitude towards visitors from outer space like we do."
Liu Bai really wanted to complain about this so-called "neutral attitude".
However, Liu Bai didn't just keep complaining in his mind.
"Hmm...you mean other forces? How many forces are there in the city right now? Could you tell me?"
Although Liu Bai vaguely felt that Mebius replacing Kevin might be related to the so-called "Moth Chasing the Flame" plot, he still felt that he should confirm the situation of the other factions.
"When you are in tears, I will then send the message to your wristband... I wish you a pleasant life on Earth."
It feels so strange to receive such blessings...
"I don't have time to take care of you two. Contact me via the bracelet if anything happens." After receiving Gui Naifen's assurance, Raven released Gui Naifen and stood up. "If you dare to run away..."
"Not yet."
"The word 'temporarily' is superfluous—though it's an overly honest statement."
After the raven finished speaking, it turned and left.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Gui Naifen rubbed her bottom and stood up, but then her eyes were drawn to the green banknotes in Liu Bai's hand. "Boss, is this a lot of money?"
Gui Naifen realized that although her boss had been stranded on this planet, he seemed to have an unexpected understanding of it.
"It's not much, but it's enough as initial capital for us."
"So, does that mean we can do live streaming now?"
"...It's obvious you really love live streaming."
"Hehe~ Boss, you have to trust my live-streaming skills, I can definitely support you!"
Chapter Eight Liu Bai: Everything is still within the calculations!
"Speaking of which, are you alright if you can't go back?"
Liu Bai looked at the lively and active Gui Naifen with some curiosity.
"Well..." Gui Naifen scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "The money you gave me is enough for my younger siblings to live a life of comfort in Luofu. Even if it's just a temporary inability to go back, we'll accompany you through thick and thin."
This setting is actually... pretty realistic?
As Liu Bai sighed, Gui Naifen continued, "So boss, how about we use this money to buy a live streaming setup? Then..."
Gui Naifen lowered her voice halfway through her sentence.
"Don't even mention you, we could raise...all of them together without any problem!"
Gui Naifen also grew up in a harsh environment (the fifth grade of middle school), and naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
What fireflies?
I do not know!
"It takes time to build up a following."
Although Liu Bai was tempted for a moment, he ultimately remained rational.
"I have a way to make money, come with me."
Liu Bai pulled Gui Naifen along the corridor and walked out.
There are many legitimate ways to make money.
For example, making and selling things, becoming a middleman, or doing all sorts of odd jobs.
However, there are also illegitimate ways to make money—or rather, how could a player not have illegitimate ways to make money?
Are those who actually make money considered players?
At the end of the World Serpent Corridor was a staircase. Going up the staircase, at the end was a heavy black mechanical door. After the two people's bracelets beeped, the door opened automatically.
Behind the main gate was a large hall where people came and went, all dressed in similar uniforms, and there were even robots.
"here it is……?"
"A company called Shencheng Pharmaceuticals."
Liu Bai explained.
The people in the hall didn't seem to care about Liu Bai and Gui Naifen who came out from behind the door—these people seemed to have become qualified corporate slaves.
“The Great Pharmacy…” Gui Naifen nodded, seemingly understanding.
"It's not quite the same as that kind of thing... Come with me."
Along the way, no one stopped the two of them. They even greeted the leader with "Hello, leader" when they saw the bracelets on their wrists.
Ten minutes later, Liu Bai stopped in front of a vending machine in a conference room upstairs.
...To be honest, the idea of a vending machine in a conference room is already quite abstract.
Who would come to the conference room to buy something?
Gui Naifen was dumbfounded when she saw the vending machine.
There's a reason why some things are placed here.
Liu Bai looked at the vending machine.
This is the only vending machine in Qili where Lin Wei can buy top-tier medicines from the Sheep Snake faction in the world without having to grind for experience points.
Of course, the price doubled.
"Sure enough, this thing is still here."
[Failed Potion]
[A drug (from) the world's leading serpent scientist (Hu Sanlang) that has been lost twice. After taking it, it can restore the strength of the entire group. After decomposition, it may yield some random components.]
Price: 1000g
Liu Bai bought four vials of the medicine directly.
-4000
With the remaining 1000 yuan, Liu Bai spent another 50g to buy some bread and water from the vending machine, and returned to the Chenge Pot to give it to Liu Ying.
"...Um, Mr. Liu Bai, you're not planning on doing anything dangerous, are you?"
After receiving the water and bread, Liu Ying looked at Liu Bai with some concern.
"Actually... don't let my appearance fool you, I can fight too."
"Don't worry, everything is still going according to plan," Bai reassured him.
Currently, there's still no way to get the fireflies out.
Liu Bai then took out the trial version of the Love Elixir from the box and returned to the real world.
Gui Naifen was sitting idly in a chair in the conference room.
"Come on, Xiao Guizi, let's go make some money!"
"okay!"

This is it!
He knew that high-level assassin monsters would spawn in the alleys around Shencheng Medicine.
"Xiao Guizi, when someone comes out, just throw these medicines at their face."
Liu Bai handed all five bottles of medicine he had on him to Gui Naifen.
"What...what is this?" Gui Naifen was a little confused.
Gui Naifen was unsure about the other four potions, but the pink potion that Liu Bai brought back from the pot looked ominous.
