My main world refreshes weekly.

I get licked by three, and you get licked by thirty?

Lu Buping's expression, like a southerner drinking soy milk, amused even the shy Lin Moyan. He thought to himself, "How could someone humiliate themselves like this? Didn't they see their junior brother's authoritative and great face?"

It's true that a typical 7 or 8 out of 10 handsome guy might become a simp, but if someone has top-notch basic charm, like Chen Ci, they're like a karaoke bar in every place they go. They're so busy choosing their consorts that they don't have time to fawn over others.

"Shut up, what are you laughing at!" Lu Buping said viciously. "Aren't you the same? If the eldest brother doesn't take revenge on the second brother, we're both equally wicked!"

Lin Moyan retorted softly, "It's different. I just have a crush, I didn't fawn over him. You should compare yourself to Brother Bai..."

"Brother Bai" is Luo Bai.

The reason was that Lu Buping called Luo Bai "Lao Luo," which sounded like "Lao Ge" in Sichuan dialect. Luo Bai thought it sounded bad and wrinkled, just like their team was originally called "Chengdu Superman," which was easy to be misunderstood. So he changed the team name to Shushan and asked everyone to call him Lao Bai or Brother Bai.

Just then, Jiang Wanxin and Luo Bai arrived at the hospital after finishing their respective tasks. As soon as they pushed open the ward door, they heard Lin Moyan muttering his name. Luo Bai immediately raised an eyebrow: "Is there something else for me?"

"You've come at the perfect time," Lu Buping retorted indiscriminately, "you old bootlicker!"

Luo Bai: "?"

Lu Buping: "What, did I say something wrong?"

Luo Bai: "I have no idea what you guys are talking about!"

Jiang Wanxin was somewhat confused, yet inexplicably amused, and asked Chen Ci, "How did you all get onto the topic of 'simps'?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ci embellished the term "simp" and replied, "We were discussing girls we like."

Jiang Wanxin said "Oh," and then realized, "No wonder."

Luo Bai understood now and immediately rebuked Lu Buping: "You vulgar scoundrel! My admiration for her is genuine and heartfelt; how can such a pure emotion be described with such a filthy word as 'licking'?"

"Besides, which eye of yours saw me licking her?"

"You're always asking around for people's contact information, isn't that just licking someone's boots?" Lu Buping sneered.

"So, have I gotten her yet? Hmm?" Luo Bai retorted. "Let me ask you, I don't even have her WeChat, I don't even know her name, how am I supposed to fawn over her? Hmm??"

Lu Buping: "?"

You're actually quite proud of yourself, aren't you?

"Simps deserve to die a horrible death!" Lu Buping was so ruthless that he even cursed his former self.

Luo Bai scoffed, "You can't discuss ice with a summer insect!"

Chen Ci's gossipy nature kicked in. His first impression of Luo Bai was that he was dashing, like a swordsman from a martial arts film. A woman who could win the heart of such a free spirit must be extraordinary. He quietly nudged Jiang Wanxin beside him and whispered, "Who are they talking about?"

Jiang Wanxin's smile was strangely ambiguous: "You've met them before."

Chen Ci was taken aback. "I've seen you before?"

The first image that popped into his mind was that of a cool and aloof girl.

"Could it be that 'immortal'?"

Luo Bai had very sharp ears; upon hearing the word "immortal," he immediately looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "You know her?"

How could a Sequence 10 player who has only just become a player and has only played one game know about "Immortals"?

Chen Ci truthfully replied, "We met briefly last night... oh!"

Jiang Wanxin tugged at him hard, trying to stop him from speaking, but it was too late. Luo Bai's eyes widened: "What! She came to the club last night??"

He looked at Jiang Wanxin, then suddenly cried out in anguish, "Sister Jiang! I've always called you 'sister,' and you didn't tell me about something this big? Are you just jealous of your friends?!"

Jiang Wanxin glared at Chen Ci and could only helplessly explain, "He came with Minister Gong to discuss business, not to play around..." She said this to herself, and besides, she couldn't bear to lose face like that.

Jiang Wanxin didn't even dare to imagine how abrupt it would be to actually call Luo Bai over.

Minister Gong is, after all, a high-ranking official in Nantianmen, and he wields the most power in the Chengdu area. When dealing with a leader of this rank, you can make him forget you, but you must not make him have a bad impression of you.

Before Luo Bai could say anything more, Chen Ci quickly smoothed things over for Jiang Wanxin, saying, "Actually, finding out her name is very simple. Our senior brother is a hacker, right? Why don't we just ask him to look it up for us?"

Chen Ci himself wanted to know.

Lin Moyan responded weakly, "I dare not."

Chen Ci: "..."

You don't even dare to do this?

What use do you have for this iron rod, Senior Brother!

"Alright," Zhou Yifeng said from his hospital bed, "Everyone's here, let's get down to business."

"Then I'll go out for a smoke," Lu Buping said.

Although it was supposed to be a serious matter, there wasn't much to talk about. The main purpose was to set an example for the newcomer, Chen Ci, and let him get used to the team's work style.

The Shushan team's mission tonight was undoubtedly a failure, but not a complete failure.

Everyone has done their best. Zhou Yifeng was even injured and broke his arm. The deposit will definitely not be refunded. The employer also expressed their understanding. After Jiang Wanxin handed over the information she had collected to the employer, the deal was considered closed, and each person would receive 15,000 yuan.

Chen Ci exclaimed, "Wow!"

You still get paid even if the mission fails?

"I promised you 30,000 this afternoon, I'll give you my share later," Jiang Wanxin said.

"No need, no need," Chen Ci hurriedly replied. He hadn't done a good job, and being able to get 15,000 yuan was already an unexpected bonus. If he were to receive two more payments, he would feel uneasy.

Jiang Wanxin smiled but didn't say anything more.

Chen Ci changed the subject: "Do you have any clue about that person's background? When Brother Zhou knocked that woman in the cheongsam down, I heard her call out 'Dean'."

"It must be the director of the mental hospital," Lin Moyan guessed.

Everyone heard the woman's cries for help, and this is something they want to emphasize to Chen Ci tonight.

Jiang Wanxin said, "I've mentioned this organization called 'Asylum' to you before. The reason it's called 'Asylum' is because everyone there, regardless of age or gender, is a bunch of lunatics."

"Their players are mostly madmen who act erratically and without any rules. They do things entirely according to their own ideas. The so-called rules are meaningless to them. They will follow them if they are in a good mood, but if they are in a bad mood, they will still do whatever the people from Nantianmen do."

That's how women in cheongsams are; they don't care whether it's a public place or not. They use their abilities whenever they want, and someone else will clean up the mess.

"Chaotic neutrality?" Chen Ci thought of this term.

Jiang Wanxin: "That's one way to understand it."

Lin Moyan slowly reminded him, "So, junior brother, don't mess with them unless you have to. Let's leave it at that for tonight. These guys are very vengeful, and getting entangled with them will be very painful."

Luo Bai was furious at the thought of someone stepping on his face, and cursed, "You uncouth brute, I'll make sure their whole family pays the price sooner or later!"

Jiang Wanxin rolled her eyes, ignored him, and continued to tell Chen Ci, "Even if the people who robbed us tonight weren't from the mental hospital, you don't need to get involved anymore. Our mission is over. Let the employer handle the rest. Remember, this is the rule of the trade: never involve personal grudges."

Chen Ci nodded: "Understood."

But there was one thing that puzzled him.

"Can anyone steal the risk rewards that players obtain by merging world lines?" Chen Ci asked.

"Yes," Jiang Wanxin said, "because no one but yourself can prove that the reward is yours. You can certainly claim that you merged the timeline, but I can also say that I merged it. We'll never reach a conclusion; in the end, it's still a contest of who has the stronger fist."

"I've already told you how precious these items are. No one will complain about having too many, so as long as the information is reliable, everyone will want to compete for them. Over time, it has evolved into a tacit understanding."

Anyone can grab the items when they appear, and after grabbing them, everyone goes home and leaves each other alone, so no one can complain.

It is equivalent to another form of copy.

Or rather, this is the "world" of the players.

No wonder everyone played more restrained tonight, Chen Ci thought to himself. So there's this unspoken rule. If that's the case...

"Wouldn't it be more profitable to just steal items and sell them directly than to steal them for others?"

"First, information about risky rewards is hard to obtain. Without special items, usually only those who have merged timelines can deduce where the items will be based on the dungeon's plot." Jiang Wanxin's smile was meaningful. "Second..."

"How do you know we haven't done that?"

Chen Ci: "?"

OK OK.

"So, none of us are good people, huh?"

"Good people only end up with guns pointed at them."

Jiang Wanxin looked at Chen Ci with a smile, "So, little brother, now that you know so much, are you starting to regret joining us?"

"No," Chen Ci said excitedly, "This team is perfect for me!"
