City of Players.

"Thanks, I owe you one."

Bai Chen took the things handed to him by Mo Xuan and nodded to her.

...Is it beyond saving?

Given the power the authorities wield, it's impossible that they couldn't even rescue an ordinary person; it's simply a matter of the imbalance between the effort and the reward.

However, it's understandable when you think about it. After all, we're in a period of frequent disasters right now. Compared to other disasters that affect dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people, the disaster that the swarm encountered is insignificant. At most, it's just a matter of recording some data.

"You're welcome. This is a necessary investment. It's better to provide help when someone is in need than to add to their existing success. Opportunities to become an angel investor in a future leader are rare."

Standing up, Mo Xuan spoke frankly.

"You can come to me if you need anything next time."

"The way you talk... is quite unique."

Looking at Mo Xuan in front of him, Bai Chen raised an eyebrow.

"I just hate beating around the bush."

She glanced at him and responded calmly.

"I have other things to do, see you later."

After saying this, Mo Xuan turned around and left the room without hesitation. When she bumped into Yuan Qing who had just come in, she simply nodded to him without saying anything more.

"What, have you finished discussing your business?"

After glancing at Mo Xuan's departing figure, Yuan Qing turned to look at Bai Chen.

"More or less."

With a slight shrug, Bai Chen put away the palm-sized box in his hand.

"How much money is left in the store? Please transfer it all to me."

In some respects, Yuanqing is indeed quite efficient.

He only had a few hours to go back to the real world, and the other party not only set up the store, but also completed the basic decorations and separated the office area from the rest area. It can be said that all that's left before the store opens is to come up with a name and display the merchandise.

"2210 points."

While promptly transferring the remaining money to him, Yuan Qing gave a brief report.

"The monthly rent is 7000, and the purchase of store decoration and furnishings cost 790 points. The purchasing power of game currency is amazing. If compared with RMB, it is about one to one hundred. Currently, all the major forces are doing their best to buy game currency in the market."

"Is it that expensive...? Oh, is there something else?"

Just as Bai Chen was pondering, a shadow suddenly fell in front of him. When he looked up, he saw Yuan Qing sitting down on the sofa in front of him.

Do you have time now?

"Not right now. If you have something to discuss, please wait a moment. After all, it's a matter of life and death."

Shaking his head, Bai Chen stood up from the sofa.

"See you later."

After saying that, he decisively logged off.

Yuan Qing: "………"

...For some reason, she suddenly felt that the other person was treating her like a tool.

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

Here on a street in the city center, Bai Chen walked out of a public toilet.

"How's it going? Any new updates from him?"

Bai Chen walked up to Yin Hongxiao and asked her a question.

"Yes, but it doesn't seem good. He was out of contact for almost half an hour before."

Seeing that he had finally returned, Yin Hongxiao breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly handed him her phone.

--------------

[Playboy]: Hey, is Brother Bai still there?

[Playboy]: I feel like I'm going to be buried here.

[Playboy]: This place is really weird. Even if you can get in, don't come in. It feels like a huge global graveyard. You have no idea what I just went through.

[Bai]: Um... he's not here right now. If there's anything you need, you can tell me first.

【playboy】:!!!

[Playboy]: Sister-in-law!?

[Bai]: No...

[Playboy]: Sister-in-law, it's rare that guy isn't here, so I'll tell you some embarrassing things he did in the past, so you can have a better grasp of him in the future!

………………

--------------

After seeing this, Bai Chen scrolled down the chat history without any expression.

But it wasn't until he slid to the bottom that he realized the guy had completely stopped talking about himself after that. Yin Hongxiao tried several times to steer the conversation back on track, but the guy wouldn't listen at all. In the following conversation, they basically talked about their own things...

Just as Bai Chen was pondering whether it was necessary to save this guy, the other party sent several more messages.

--------------

[Playboy]: Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Bai Chen is just a repressed pervert who likes to be passive. So, sister-in-law, you can try to get him under your thumb in the future.

[Playboy]: By the way, that guy seems to hold a grudge, so before he comes back, sister-in-law, please remember to delete the previous chat messages. Remember, remember.

After typing the last word and sending it, Su Qun glanced at his phone and saw that it still had 10% battery left. He let out a long sigh of relief.

Just then, the elevator arrived at the designated floor. Without even glancing outside, Suqun pressed the close button.

The moment the elevator doors closed, the elevator doors on the opposite side opened just as well. However, the other elevator was powerless to stop the doors from rising again and could only let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

The elevator chase had been going on for over ten minutes, but the longer time went on, the more sluggish Su Qun's heart became.

Whether it was the strangeness of the place or something the other party had done, he couldn't go to any floor the elevator had stopped at a second time.

The first time he encountered this, he stubbornly pressed the button for that floor more than ten times. And perhaps his action angered something, because in the blink of an eye, the button disappeared from the elevator forever.

As of now, 22 of the original 32 floor buttons in his elevator have disappeared. Once all the buttons are gone, he will undoubtedly be caught up by the monster outside.

There's nothing more that can be done.

He was now considering whether it would be better to rush directly into the moonlight or to be merged with that thing.

The latter is worse than dead, and as for the former... he's probably also worse than dead.

"I should have carried a knife with me..."

While muttering to himself, Su Qun picked up his phone again as the elevator slowly ascended.

Although my phone battery was low, I figured I could still call the police back. With my feedback, the police would probably have more information, and maybe next time someone could…

But before he could even dial, his phone lit up the next second.

—A phone call came in.
