Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Li Yue suddenly stood up, took a big step back, and instinctively crossed her arms in front of her, staring intently at Chu Ge as if on guard.

It’s tricky!

This old man agreed so readily; he definitely has ulterior motives!

He must have taken a fancy to her, this beautiful young woman in the prime of her life, and harbors lewd thoughts in his heart. He's bound to make all sorts of inappropriate demands next.

Maybe he wanted to lure her to a hotel, coerce her, secretly film her, and then use the video to blackmail her, saying:

"Li Yue, you don't want these videos to be uploaded online, do you?"

In order to protect her reputation, this naive young girl had no choice but to compromise and let him trample on her.

Gradually, the man will go further and further astray, and she will become increasingly succumb to his advances, unable to extricate herself.

Once the other party has grown tired of all the different positions, ways of playing, storylines, props, and costumes, they will sell her to the underground underworld for prostitution.

then……

broken.

That's how it is! It must be like that! All the banned comics that Li Yue read eventually turned out like this.

Her fate will surely be to be surrounded by a bunch of Mediterranean beer bellies, squatting on the ground rolling her eyes and making a peace sign with both hands.

Thinking of this, Li Yue broke out in a cold sweat and took another step back, pressing her back against the cold freezer. Her eyes became even more wary.

Seeing the girl's tense and wary demeanor, Chu Ge could easily guess what was on her mind—

A pile of messy, yellow waste.

He spoke calmly and without emotion: "I'm not interested in you, but there are conditions for me to pay for you."

"See! I knew it!"

Li Yue's eyes widened instantly, a bunch of bizarre stories she had read flashed through her mind, and she felt that her previous speculation was flawless, giving herself a crazy thumbs up for her own cleverness.

She instantly hardened her stance, gave a cold snort, and said stiffly:

"Bring on whatever moves you have, pshaw! Bring it on!"

"Even if I, Li Yue, have no money to pay the bill, I'll eat my fill of noodles here, even if I die here, I will never let you control me!"

"I need you to help me find a place to stay."

"What! You actually want me—"

...Wait, something's not right. Li Yue's outburst of rebuke abruptly stopped, and she froze in shock.

She carefully recalled Chu Ge's words and confirmed them repeatedly.

This old man is asking her to help him find a place to stay?

Did she mishear?

Or did he say something wrong?

After confirming that everything was correct, Li Yue immediately wilted, her gaze lowered, and her tone carried a hint of inexplicable unhappiness:

"Oh... so you're just looking for a place to stay."

Chu Ge: "?"

He stared at Li Yue with a puzzled look on his face, wondering to himself: What's wrong with your disappointed tone?

What are you disappointed about?

But how could he possibly understand the thoughts of a young girl in the prime of her life?

Li Yue muttered to herself:

"Am I really that unattractive?"

……

Li Yue took out her key, inserted it into the lock, and gently turned it. With a "click," the door opened.

On the living room sofa, a girl was engrossed in watching a TV series when she heard the noise and glanced back.

When she saw Li Yue bring back a strange old man, she was first taken aback, then showed a knowing yet regretful expression.

"Alas, Li Yue, you have finally fallen into depravity."

Li Yue knew her roommate Qin Shu's character all too well. Without even looking up, she casually retorted while bending down to change her shoes:

"What are you thinking? Uncle, you're here to rent a house."

"Whose house are you renting?" Qin Shu raised an eyebrow.

"It's ours." Li Yue looked up at her. "Didn't Shen Nian get transferred to Shanghai? The master bedroom has been empty, so we can find someone to share the rent."

"Oh." Qin Shu's tone instantly turned indifferent, tinged with a hint of disappointment. "I thought you'd hooked up with a rich guy, and I was just thinking of asking you to introduce me to one too."

Li Yue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease, "What's wrong? Even someone like you, who earns hundreds of thousands a month in sales, doesn't want to work hard anymore?"

"Yeah, I'm tired." Qin Shu sighed, looking utterly hopeless. "There was a mission in Area A today. Everything was fine until one of my teammates got slapped away by a mutant. Suddenly, he was like a possessed person, shouting some kind of ultimate technique and then summoning a water dragon that smashed a Rolls-Royce parked on the roadside to pieces."

"A Rolls-Royce?" Li Yue exclaimed in surprise. "How much money would that cost in compensation?"

"A little over ten million in total," Qin Shu replied weakly.

"Is that so..."

Looking at her, Li Yue felt a pang of sympathy. Compared to her own small debt, she felt lucky and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, I'll keep an eye out for you and see if any rich people would be interested in someone like you."

"Thank you so much." Qin Shu pouted, looked Chu Ge up and down a few times, but couldn't see anything special about him, so she lost interest and turned back to watching the drama.

"You're welcome." Li Yue casually replied, then turned to Chu Ge, "Uncle, let me show you the room."

"it is good."

Chu Ge followed behind Li Yue, but Qin Shu's words kept echoing in his mind.

He strongly suspected that the teammate who suddenly seemed possessed by a ghost was being logged into by another player.

And it's highly likely to be Xu Wan.

What bad luck.

The master bedroom is quite spacious, with a soft carpet and a wide windowsill, perfect for quiet meditation. However, the room is a bit cluttered.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Li Yue introduced with a smile:

"The master bedroom rents for 700 yuan a month, which is 100 yuan more expensive than the room Qin Shu and I share. Electricity costs 0.7 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and water costs 5 yuan per ton. Do you want to rent it?"

"Rent it." Chu Ge said without the slightest hesitation.

Li Yue nodded, her gaze sweeping over the clutter piled up in the room. She said apologetically, "These were all left behind by my roommate Shen Nian. I haven't had time to clean them up yet, and the room hasn't been cleaned either. I have some free time now, so I can help you tidy up."

"No need," Chu Ge said curtly.

"Really, you don't need to?"

"Um."

"Alright then." Li Yue's tone was slightly disappointed. She paused and then added, "Uncle, call me anytime if you need anything. I live in the innermost room."

Actually, Shen Nian was planning to pay someone to clean up before she left. When Li Yue found out, she said that it was better for her to earn the money than for someone else.

As a result, she accepted two thousand yuan from the person, but half a month has passed and she still hasn't done anything.

Just thinking about it makes me want to die.

Your Excellency, I am guilty.

Li Yue silently repented for a second, then turned and tiptoed out of the room.

After Li Yue left, Chu Ge began to look around the room.

There were some underwear, socks and other items scattered on the floor and bed. They were all cute and had cartoon patterns. There were also Lolita and JK uniforms hanging in the closet, as well as unopened stockings and accessories.

Although the place was messy, it was very clean, and there was a faint scent of incense in the air.

Chu Ge casually tidied up the clutter, and a thought flashed through his mind: If he hung these things in the seafood market and said that they were handmade by his daughter for personal use, would he make a fortune?

I guess some people with unusual fetishes will buy it? To clean guns or make birdcages or something.

But it was just a fleeting thought.

late at night.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the entire city gradually fell silent, especially the old town area of ​​District B, which was completely quiet.

Chu Ge sat cross-legged on the windowsill, motionless, surrounded by faint magical fluctuations, constantly absorbing the rich energy in the air.

The magic in the Fourth World was far more concentrated than in the real world. Nourished by the moonlight, his cultivation speed was twice that of the outside world.

If this fourth world weren't ultimately an illusion, he would have even wanted to cultivate here indefinitely.

Just then—

[Urban emergency alert! Emergency alert!]

A sharp, cold broadcast suddenly pierced the night sky, echoing throughout the city, shrill and urgent.

Chu Ge suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and looked out the window.

The once-dark buildings were suddenly illuminated by a flurry of lights, and many awakened residents began to move about in a panic.

Five kilometers away, a blinding red light suddenly shone in the night sky, standing out conspicuously in the darkness and exuding a strong sense of danger.

[WARNING! WARNING! Abyssal Aberration detected! It will descend upon Area B in ten minutes. Disaster level: A!]

[All citizens in Area B, immediately cease all activities and proceed to the nearest underground safe zone for concealment! No leaving the area! No lingering! No unauthorized confrontation with the mutants!]

[To reiterate! The Abyssal Aberration is imminent! All citizens, please evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!]

"Rank A? That's equivalent to a high-level demonic beast." Chu Ge's eyes lit up slightly, a hint of interest appearing on his face.

He had never seen a high-level crystal core before, so he imagined it must have immense magical power, which would be of great benefit to cultivation.

"Knock knock knock—"

A rapid knocking sounded on the door.

Chu Ge opened the door and saw Li Yue and Qin Shu standing outside in their pajamas, their faces showing sleepiness and a hint of frustration.

They came to urge Chu Ge to seek refuge.

Inside the elevator, Li Yue yawned widely, too sleepy to keep her eyes open, and couldn't help but complain:

"This is so annoying! Why did it have to come at the worst possible time? I, Lao Liu, just got started and haven't even had my fill yet. I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm so sleepy."

"Who says it isn't true? Staying up late is the worst thing for your skin." Qin Shu said with a face mask on, her tone full of resentment.

Chu Ge stood behind the two without saying a word. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he stepped out first and walked straight towards the direction where the red light was shining.

"Hey! Uncle! Where are you going?! The shelter isn't over there!"

Li Yue shouted anxiously from behind, but Chu Ge's figure disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

She stood there stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qin Shu, her tone grave:

"You go to the shelter first. The old man is just an ordinary person. It's too dangerous for him to go out alone. I'll go find him."

"Okay, be careful."

Qin Shu did not stop her. She knew Li Yue's strength. As long as she wasn't stupid enough to go and fight the mutants one-on-one, she could protect herself in this city.

The piercing alarm still echoed over the city. Li Yue took a deep breath, turned around, and rushed into the night, chasing after Chu Ge in the direction he had left.
