To be honest, Bai Chen originally thought this banquet would be very troublesome, with intrigue and backstabbing at the dinner table.

What he didn't expect was that, although it was called a meal, it really was a meal. Apart from Mo Xuan explaining the rules here and answering a few of his questions on the way here, she didn't mention it again.

The banquet, which he had originally expected to last several hours, was devoured by Mo Xuan in just five minutes, with her finishing two bowls of rice in no time...

Concise and efficient.

The bard was extremely anxious and kept giving his superior meaningful glances, but the other man seemed undecided. After finishing his meal, he even excused himself and put down his chopsticks to leave.

—It's clear that the other party really came here to eat.

Seeing that his boss was about to leave, the bard had no choice but to speak up and remind him.

"Um... Captain, is there something you've forgotten?"

Although their relevant departments can be considered among the best in the world, they are still a step behind the two that have awakened individuals with innate talents.

The existence of a person with innate talent awakened has a significance far greater than its symbolic meaning.

After being reminded by him, and after a moment of surprise, as if remembering something, Mo Xuan turned to look at Bai Chen.

"Add me as a friend, and you can contact me if you've thought it through."

"That's it?"

For some reason, Bai Chen looked puzzled.

He thought that what the other person said on the way here was just the beginning, but he never expected that it was the whole story.

"What else do we need?"

Looking down at him, Mo Xuan's expression still seemed somewhat confused.

"I've already made myself very clear before."

Bai Chen: "..."

...He suddenly felt that the other person was a bit naive.

"What if I don't want to join?"

Bai Chen put down his chopsticks and looked up at the other person.

"We support the existence of other player groups and will not force others to join. You just need to make sure that you do not break the law or commit crimes in real life."

Seemingly unsurprised by the answer, Mo Xuan nodded and looked at him.

"If possible, we hope to maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with you, or rather, with the forces you will create in the future."

"I didn't expect the official side to be so generous..."

Looking at his inventory showing a balance of 10,300 game coins, Bai Chen sighed with emotion.

He originally thought that when he said he had no intention of joining the official organization, the other party would try to persuade him to stay or make more demands or even threats, but things turned out to be a bit beyond his expectations.

There was no attempt to win them over, nor any threat. All that remained was a faint sense of regret, as if it were all true. The player with the game ID "墨璇" seemed to have a very clear understanding of many things.

"It's a pity the money was borrowed and I'll have to pay it back later... How about opening a pharmacy first?"

As the main hub for player communication, the importance of Player City is undeniable. However, it's a pity that apart from the first free entry, each subsequent entry requires a 100-game-coin teleportation fee.

100 game coins may not seem like much, but for him, it's only enough to get in here three times—that is, assuming he gets an S-rank rating on the beginner trial level.

To avoid the teleportation fee, you need to own your own place here, whether you rent or buy it. It was because of this that he borrowed some money.

Ten thousand game coins are certainly not enough to buy a house here, but if you're just renting one, it's more than enough.

"...Well, almost all the good locations have been taken over by those big guilds."

While browsing the player city map on the system interface, Bai Chen curled his lip.

Just as he was thinking of simply choosing any place, a voice came from behind him.

"If you want to open a shop, you should be very careful about choosing the location."

"Why did you come here?"

Turning to look at Yuan Qing, who had followed him without him noticing, Bai Chen was slightly surprised.

"What, you didn't choose to join the official team?"

Of all the people he encountered in this beginner trial dungeon, the one who left the deepest impression was none other than the bard. Although the bard performed reasonably well, he was still far inferior to Yuanqing.

Since the official recruitment is underway, there's no reason for them to let go of such a talented person.

"I don't want to go to work."

Yuan Qing's face remained expressionless.

"They require me to log in and check in at a fixed time every morning, but I can't get up."

"so……?"

"Here, you're the only one I recognize."

Yuan Qing looked up at him.

"If you want to open a shop, you'll probably need more staff."

"...Alright."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Chen nodded and then readily transferred the 10,000 game coins that he hadn't even had a chance to warm up to the other party.

"In that case, I'll leave the shop location selection to you. I'll log off now, see you later."

After saying that, Bai Chen decisively chose to teleport away... or, in layman's terms, log off.

—It's rare to have a free tool delivered to our door, so we might as well use it.

Yuan Qing: "………"

..........................................

Because he had spent too much time in the dungeon and the player city, it was already bright daylight when Bai Chen returned to reality.

He entered the instance around midnight, and now it's past 3 pm.

"The teleportation location is quite intelligent."

Looking at his room, Bai Chen shrugged slightly and took out some clothes from the closet.

Just as he grabbed his clothes to take a shower, the sight in the living room that greeted him as soon as he opened the door left him speechless.

In less than half a day, the once spacious living room was now piled with all kinds of packages and takeout boxes that were almost piled up like a small mountain.

After changing into a scarlet nightgown, Yin Hongxiao nestled into the sofa, clutching her pillow tightly while nervously watching the television in front of her.

—He was so engrossed in his work that the other person didn’t even notice his return.

It's clear that the other person has adapted to the new environment quite well. They didn't even know how to turn on the lights at first, but now they can not only order takeout, but have even learned to shop online and watch TV on their own…

Turning his eyes to the side, Bai Chen glanced at the television.

Seeing how nervous the other person seemed, he initially thought they were watching some kind of horror movie, but upon closer inspection... it was SpongeBob SquarePants.

Bai Chen: "..."
