My main world refreshes weekly.

Chen Ci's monthly living expenses are 1600.

There are quite a few, but not many either.

In today's society, it's practically impossible to get by without money, let alone enjoy life.

While playing mahjong, Chen Ci was thinking that since he hadn't attended classes for a whole year in his junior year, should he go find a job?

The specific speech doesn't matter, but it's best if it's a female leader, so that his gaming skills can be fully utilized and he can be promoted and receive a raise quickly.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Wanxin called.

A single order of 30,000 is more than what northern Myanmar pays, so what else is there to say?

Chen Ci played mahjong all afternoon and won about 200 yuan. It wouldn't be good to leave early, so he took advantage of the last round to discard a few extra pieces of mahjong, leaving a few dozen yuan for taxi fare, and took a taxi straight to Tianfu Square.

18: 30.

As soon as Chen Ci got out of the car, he saw Jiang Wanxin waiting for him downstairs.

The gentle lady from the Jiangnan water town didn't wear a cheongsam today; instead, she wore a white halter-neck dress with blue tulip prints, paired with an ice-blue short cardigan.

The square neckline is fluttered with delicate ruffles, covering her full curves and revealing a small patch of snow-white skin, her exquisite and three-dimensional collarbone, and a hint of her fragrant shoulder. Her slightly curled hair falls down like an ornament, adorning her beautiful neck, making her look refreshing and gentle.

Pedestrians on the street frequently turned their heads to look. A girl as beautiful as Jiang Wanxin is very rare, even in Chunxi Road, which is known for its streets full of beautiful women.

Chen Ci walked up to Jiang Wanxin and exclaimed, "I always thought that women had to show a lot of skin to be sexy, but I never thought that someone could be so alluring even when dressed properly."

Jiang Wanxin chuckled, "How come I didn't notice how sweet-talking you were last night?"

Chen Ci honestly replied, "You didn't say it was 30,000 per order last night."

"Looks like I'll have to take you around more often for business in the future," Jiang Wanxin said with a smile. She thought Chen Ci's compliments were quite nice, unlike some of the low-EQ people in the team who actually said she looked amazing when they first met, which made Jiang Wanxin so angry that she almost hit them.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Jiang Wanxin's car was in the underground parking lot.

Chen Ci followed her and asked, "Aren't you going up?"

"There are guests upstairs," Jiang Wanxin said.

Mingcheng Club is presented as a high-end business club, primarily serving wealthy locals in Chengdu and elites traveling from other places, including gamers.

Chen Ci is now a club member, so he can go up there to hang out, have a drink, and chat when he has free time. But when he needs to go on a mission or train, there is another place for him.

Jiang Wanxin's car was a burgundy Maserati GranCabrio. The elegant body lines and noble trident logo made Chen Ci's eyes almost turn into lemon shapes. Damn rich dog!

"Are all you veteran players this rich?" he asked.

"It depends on the situation," Jiang Wanxin said with a smile. "Points can be sold, at a ratio of about 1:100, depending on market conditions. Items can also be traded, depending on whether you want to or not. Even the lowest-grade D-level item, as long as it's effective, can sell for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Among players, there are those who enjoy life and those who strive for improvement.

Every industry has its share of people who love to gamble, as if they'd die if they didn't. They'd rather live in a cramped, run-down place and scrape together every meal than exchange their points and items for real money.

Jiang Wanxin didn't understand, but she respected it.

Everyone has their own way of living, and she is definitely the former.

Jiang Wanxin drove Chen Ci to the sports center and handed him the newly obtained credentials.

"From now on, you can just swipe your card when you come in," she said.

Chen Ci examined the identification documents and asked, puzzled, "Why would I be here for no reason?"

"Train your body," Jiang Wanxin said. "Each player's initial stats can be improved through training, with a theoretical limit of 10... Except for charm, which requires going to a plastic surgery clinic and carries the risk of decreasing."

Chen Ci was taken aback, thinking to himself, "There's such a thing?"

It was surprising, yet somehow it felt somewhat reasonable.

The sports center was huge, with facilities for almost every sport Chen Ci could think of, including a gym, which wasn't standard equipment. But that wasn't the main point. Jiang Wanxin led Chen Ci to a work area that wasn't open to the public, into a warehouse filled with equipment, and inside the warehouse, there was even a staircase leading down.

Basement level.

Chen Ci was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

This is an underground venue larger than a football field, with a spacious area divided into several zones, each equipped with different professional equipment, such as wooden stakes, force gauges, shooting targets, and high-speed treadmills. There are also a lot of people, and the noise is overwhelming, giving Chen Ci the illusion of walking into a bar.

It's still that kind of magical bar from fantasy movies.

Some people were riding swords, some were hovering in the air, some were shooting out icy arrows that exuded frost, and some were releasing fireballs that distorted the air... They had accidentally wandered into the Heavenly Realm.

"Sister Jiang".

Many people greeted Jiang Wanxin with smiles as she approached.

As for Chen Ci, he was quickly glanced at and ignored. It was obvious that he was a newcomer and not worth paying attention to. Only a few girls couldn't help but take a second look at Chen Ci, thinking that he was so handsome, would he survive two episodes?

"You don't need to feel pressured," Jiang Wanxin said to Chen Ci in a gentle tone. "They're actually similar to you, around Sequence 8 or Sequence 9."

"Don't take their attitude to heart. That's how all players are... including you. If new players come in the future, I don't recommend that you interact with them too much," Jiang Wanxin said.

The price of gaining extraordinary power is the possibility of death at any time. The newer you are, the more likely something bad will happen. So when you first meet someone, no one will invest any emotion in you, and they may even be indifferent. Otherwise, you could chat for a few minutes, become friends, and then die, leaving them to suffer.

Of course, this is also related to people's admiration for strength. When you're out in the world, your status is self-determined; whoever has the bigger fist will earn respect—at least that's the case in this training ground.

Chen Ci nodded to show his understanding.

"Are all of these people from our club?" Chen Ci asked.

"Not entirely," Jiang Wanxin said. "The Twelve Constellations, the Asylum, and the Southern Heavenly Gate are all included."

Including Club No. 7 itself, these are some of the largest player organizations in China.

There are also two other sites: "Utopia" and "House of Cards." The former only recruits players whose destiny is "Dream Walker" and has its own training ground, while the latter has enemies with many organizations and will not easily show itself.

At the end of the underground area, there were several rooms. Jiang Wanxin took out her key and opened the door. This room, about thirty square meters in size and resembling a simply furnished living room, was their usual meeting point before missions.

"Have a seat." Jiang Wanxin casually tossed her bag onto the sofa, grabbed two cans of juice from the refrigerator, and said, "They're still training. I'll introduce you to them when they get back. You can take a look at the mission information first."

There were two folders on the coffee table.

Chen Ci's pupils constricted as he opened the first page.

[Target item: Aphrodite's Ring (S), stolen on the evening of September 13th near Huaqiao Road, Gulou District, Nanjing (Sequence 5-4). The victim sustained minor injuries. The suspect fled in the southwest direction...]

The second folder contained the tasks to be carried out tonight, which made Chen Ci's heart race even more.

[Target Item: Aphrodite Veil (A), Worldline Fusion Reward (Sequence 8), expected to be distributed around 20:00 on September 21st near Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan. Danger rating: 1. Prioritize your own safety...]
