Oh no! I'm surrounded by the main characters!

However, I didn't expect the client to be so particular.

The prepayment was transferred before I even started working.

Considering that the client paid in advance before starting work,

I took the job myself.

The virtual combat room door opened, and Luo Chuan entered the ERP lobby, where only Mei Zhen remained, typing on her computer.

"Luo Chuan, are you done with your training?"

"Ah."

Luo Chuan nodded and asked, "So, did you retrieve the Earth Shadow Stone?"

Hearing his words, Meizhen shook her head helplessly.

"We tried many methods, but Grandpa Wei just wouldn't hand over the Earth Shadow Stone to us, and we couldn't very well tell him the secret of the Earth Shadow Stone."

Therefore, the only option is to have Bei Miao and Dong Shan stay near Grandpa Wei to prevent the Shadow Realm people from secretly harming Grandpa Wei and Tu Ying Shi.

Mei Zhen sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness.

In the film industry, one can openly rob or covertly seize.

But after all, they are not in the film industry, and they can't use other methods.

"I'll be going now. Contact me if anything comes up."

Luo Chuan knew the outcome and didn't wait any longer.

After saying goodbye to Mimi, she left the burger shop.

Stepping out of the hamburger shop, Luo Chuan looked up at the sky; it was already noon.

Luo Chuan had just returned home when he saw Tom at his feet, his face looking completely innocent, but his belly round and swollen.

He silently smacked his lips at the empty refrigerator in front of him.

"What a blunder. I should have eaten two hamburgers before coming back."

thump—

thump—

Just as Luo Chuan was pondering how to solve lunch, a knock sounded at the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Yan Lili standing there in casual clothes, carrying a bulging bag.

Do you live alone?

Seeing Luo Chuan open the door, Yan Lili subconsciously looked around inside.

Why are you here?

Seeing Yan Lili appear at the door, Luo Chuan asked, completely bewildered,

"Hmph! Why aren't you welcoming me?"

I'm planning to go camping, how about it, want to come along?

Yan Lili gave a soft snort, then held up the bag in her hand, which was filled with various kinds of food.

"camping?"

Luo Chuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. What kind of plot was this?

"going or not?"

"Go! Of course I'll go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Chuan picked up Tom from his feet and agreed.

Why not go if you can get a free meal?

After quickly tidying up, the two went to a park on the outskirts of the city.

"You're too casual about how you keep your cat."

Won't it get tired carrying so much?

Beside Luo Chuan, Yan Lili looked at Tom, who was carrying large and small bags on his back, and couldn't help but twitch her lips and ask curiously,

"Meow--"

Tom seemed to understand Yan Lili's meaning, and instantly revealed a fawning smile.

It circled around Yan Lili's feet twice and let out a gentle, obedient cry.

"Don't worry about it. This guy just eats and sleeps all day long."

They're living a much better life than me; doing chores is like a workout for them.

Seeing Tom's pitiful act, Luo Chuan didn't hesitate to expose his lazy cat's true colors.

Upon hearing his owner's words, Tom instantly showed a displeased expression and his ears drooped.

"Pfft!"

Watching Tom's ever-changing expressions, Yan Lili couldn't help but be amused.

"Yan Lili, what are you doing here?"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out from afar.

Luo Chuan turned his head and saw three figures on the lawn not far away, gathered around a barbecue grill, clearly also camping.

At a glance, Luo Chuan instantly recognized the three people.

The Ling sisters, Ling Meiqi and Ling Meixue, and the magical fairy Xiao Lan.

The one who had just exclaimed was Ling Meiqi, who was holding a skewer of grilled meat and watching Yan Lili warily.

"Hmph! What, do you own this park?"

"If you can come camping, why can't I?"

Faced with Ling Meiqi's questioning, Yan Lili did not back down, raising her chin and immediately retorting.

"you......"

Hearing her words, Ling Meiqi was angry, but couldn't find a reason to refute them.

She could only stomp her foot and say angrily, "Hmph! You little dark fairy, you must be plotting something!"

Upon hearing her words, Yan Lili's face immediately darkened.

But he immediately turned his head away, raised his chin, snorted coldly, and left without paying any attention to her.

Who is that person next to Yan Lili?

Ling Meixue blinked, her gaze falling on Luo Chuan next to Yan Lili, a flicker of curiosity crossing her mind.

After all, they had known Yan Lili for so long and knew that she didn't have many friends given her personality.

Ling Meiqi glanced at it and said confidently without hesitation,

"I don't know, but being with that little dark fairy Yan Lili, she must be some kind of bad guy."

Luo Chuan, who had been quietly observing the situation, suddenly heard his own name called out and his expression froze slightly.

"Wow, I've been made the villain?"

However, he wasn't about to argue with a little girl, so he simply called out to Tom and walked away.

Then, they simply found a clean lawn and set up the barbecue grill like any other tourist.

"Meow--"

As the charcoal fire heated up, a rich aroma of meat slowly filled the air.

Tom's round cat eyes widened instantly, completely forgetting his previous grievances, and he paced around the barbecue grill incessantly.

Its little tail was held high, and it kept peeking out from time to time to look at the stove, looking incredibly hungry.

"Go away, don't get so close."

Luo Chuan looked at Tom, who was constantly spinning around at his feet, and quickly kicked it away gently with the back of his foot.

On the other hand, Yan Lili, who was also quietly grilling skewers, seemed somewhat absent-minded, glancing at the distance every now and then.

Luo Chuan took in her expression, but didn't ask any further questions.

But in the next second, Luo Chuan's originally relaxed eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Sigh, I can't even enjoy a barbecue in peace."

Chapter 28 Making a Fuss

A surge of energy suddenly emanated from nearby.

Immediately following, a second, completely different energy aura arrived.

The two energy fluctuations intertwined, suggesting that someone was engaged in combat.
