Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

The shop is small, but the shelves are neatly arranged, with various flavors of dried meat packaged in transparent glass jars that gleam with an oily sheen under the lights.

In this world, the prices of all kinds of meat are about the same, so it's not that Su Wanqing deliberately wanted to rip off Chen Nian.

Seeing that the price was acceptable, Chen Nian let Su Wanqing choose for herself.

As for the other two, they seemed rather uninterested.

Chen Nian noticed that Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue were standing near the door, unlike Su Wanqing who went to the shelves to pick and choose.

Charlotte had her hands in her coat pockets, her gaze sweeping aimlessly over the glass jars on the shelf, showing little interest.

Xia Luoxue stood next to her sister, quietly watching the passersby outside the window, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by sunlight and street scenes.

"Aren't you going to pick what you want?" Chen Nian asked as she walked up to them.

Xia Luoling shook her head: "I'm not so much a fan of dried meat. My family used to make it often, but I get tired of it after a while."

Xia Luoxue shook her head slightly and added, "I ate too much this morning, and I don't want to eat anything right now."

"Then you can browse around for a bit, and we'll leave once Su Su has finished picking something out," Chen Nian said.

Xia Luoling nodded and pulled Xia Luoxue to a seat by the shop entrance to sit and bask in the sun.

The sunlight shone down from above, casting a warm, golden glow on their silhouettes. Xia Luoxue leaned against her sister's shoulder, her eyes slightly narrowed, like a languid cat.

After waiting for a while, Su Wanqing selected several packs.

Just as Chen Nian was about to pay and leave, the demonic eye in her mind suddenly spoke.

"Buy a few boxes for me too. I've been watching mukbang videos lately, so buy me a little bit of everything."

Hearing the words of the Demon Eye, Chen Nian stopped in her tracks.

"Where are the gray coins?" Chen Nian asked the demonic eye in her mind.

"What? You want gray coins too? It's your honor to offer tribute to Lord Demon Eye," Demon Eye replied with a smirk.

"Without money, your matter will be difficult to handle," Chen Nian continued.

The Demon Eye remained silent in Chen Nian's mind for a few seconds, then let out a cryptic snort: "Back in my prime, countless people wanted to offer me tribute, but I disdained them all. Now, I'm giving you this opportunity, and you're still talking to me about money?"

"Then don't eat it," Chen Nian replied in her mind without changing her expression.

As Chen Nian spoke, she prepared to leave the beef jerky shop.

"No way, forget it, I'll give it to you. You really don't understand any social etiquette. Try to bribe me a bit, and if I'm in a good mood, I might give you some pointers, and you'll be set for life!"

"It's more like it'll explode on the spot."

Seeing that the Magic Eye had given him 100 Gray Coins, he nodded in satisfaction.

I casually bought a few boxes for Magic Eyes as well before leaving the beef jerky shop.

The four of them left the beef jerky shop and continued walking along the commercial street. Chen Nian walked at the back of the group, her eyes scanning the shops on both sides: grilled squid, pickled chicken feet, spicy beef tripe, steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, preserved pork belly...

I bought everything I could.

100 gray coins have considerable purchasing power in the 996 base, and with my own addition, it didn't cost much.

After a day of sightseeing, it was already evening when we got back.

Time to rest and sleep again.

Lying in bed, Chen Nian always felt that something was missing.

Chen Nian stared at the ceiling, and the feeling that something was missing became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, she slapped her thigh and remembered.

Damn it, Xu Xue's money hasn't been transferred yet.

Ten thousand gray coins.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian sat up abruptly, took out her terminal, opened the transfer records, and checked them. There were indeed no new deposits.

She checked the message history again, but Xu Xue hadn't sent any notifications regarding the payment.

She stared at the terminal screen, and the feeling that something was missing finally materialized.

She hesitated for two seconds, then sent Xu Xue a message: "Senior, has the money arrived yet? I checked and haven't received it."

Chen Nian had just finished speaking when the text message arrived.

When the text message announcing the deposit of 10000 Gray Coins appeared before her eyes, Chen Nian was finally able to get a good night's sleep.

In the following period, Chen Nian took on all the high-paying jobs she could.

The rest of the time was spent in class.

Two and a half years passed quickly.

Over the course of two and a half years, Chen Nian finally managed to gather enough gray coins to buy Sequence 7 seeds from Fang Anya six months ago and transferred them to her.

Chen Nian herself also cultivated to the peak of Sequence Seven.

Today is the day Fang Anya is released from quarantine, and Chen Nian has arranged to go to Base 991 to celebrate with her.

So I got up early, got ready to dress up, and took the bus there.

As for why they didn't drive a motorcycle there...

Chen Nian said she wants to keep her hairstyle intact and not let it get messed up.

Chen Nian stood in front of the full-length mirror in her dormitory, turning left and right to look at herself several times.

It's winter now, so I'm wearing a lot of layers. Underneath is my school uniform, which has a very Japanese style, and on the outside is a dark blue trench coat, which looks very stylish.

For once, she didn't just haphazardly tie her hair up; instead, she carefully combed it and tied it into a low ponytail at the back of her head. She brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead in front of the mirror to make sure none were sticking up, and then looked down to check if her shoelaces were tied symmetrically.

Su Wanqing sat on the bed, hugging a pillow, watching her fuss over from head to toe for almost twenty minutes with a meaningful look, and finally couldn't help but speak up: "Niannian, if you're going on a blind date, I can give you some advice."

"What blind date?" Chen Nian glared at her, wanting to say that they had already been completely honest with each other, so what was the point of talking about a blind date?

However, he dared not say it aloud.

After all, the three sisters in the dormitory had maintained an improper relationship for the past two and a half years.

The first six months were relatively normal.

Later, things became increasingly abnormal. Su Wanqing would frequently complain of headaches and fevers and want to sleep with Chen Nian under the same blanket.

The two daughters of the Xia family have also taken advantage of Chen Nian.

In short, Chen Nian neither takes the initiative, nor refuses, nor admits anything, nor takes responsibility...

They spent two years in this ambiguous relationship.

After tidying herself up, Chen Nian said to Su Wanqing, "I'm going to celebrate Anya's completion of her seclusion. You guys..."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Su Wanqing immediately replied, "We'd better not go. We don't want to be third wheels."

"Do as you please..."

Chen Nian rolled her eyes at them, then picked up the terminal on the table and left the dormitory.

I had already invited the three of them last night; I'm just asking again today out of politeness.

The answer is still the same: there's no need to dwell on it.
