Buddhist player

With mixed feelings, Bai Chen returned to reality, holding the storage bracelet (youth version).

Although he had considered refining new drugs, in his personal mind, it was only a temporary experiment and a whim. However, he never expected that Yuan Qing would find him such a large amount of materials.

The 40-square-meter storage space was crammed full of all sorts of materials. With so much stuff there, he wouldn't be able to do anything else for at least the next two weeks.

...Perhaps I should consider opening a medicinal herb shop later?

Looking at the bracelet crammed full of various items, Bai Chen looked conflicted.

Because of the bracelet's characteristic that if any item is taken out of it, the entire room will immediately explode, even if he had a flat world, he would definitely not be able to turn the items in the bracelet into cards before they burst the room.

Inside the bracelet, there was a whole square piece of white flesh resembling a giant succulent. If this thing were to burst open in his bedroom... the image was too beautiful to conjure.

...Ask Suqun for a warehouse?

While pondering to himself, Bai Chen opened the bedroom door, but when he saw the scene in the living room, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because he had spent too much time in the City of Players, by the time he returned to reality it was already afternoon, and the scorching sunlight outside the window was dazzling.

The air conditioner was on in the living room, and the cooling was quite strong.

He had imagined seeing Yin Hongxiao curled up on the sofa watching TV, or sitting at the coffee table drinking milk tea and eating takeout and snacks. This wasn't his stereotype, but rather the norm for her life here.

But he didn't expect that the other party was practicing swordsmanship at that moment.

...Or perhaps, sword dancing?

The living room wasn't actually that big, and the other party was wielding a longsword, so theoretically it was easy for them to bump into each other. But in Yin Hongxiao's hands, it had a strange kind of beauty.

The wind swirls and the snow falls, graceful as a startled swan.

His strokes are like freehand ink painting, and his pauses are like wild geese lingering in the sky.

Although Bai Chen didn't understand swordsmanship, he still knew how to appreciate it. Luckily, he had some knowledge, otherwise he would probably only be able to say "awesome" or "666" right now.

"You...you're back?"

She hurriedly sheathed her longsword, and a faint blush appeared on her ears.

"Once the matter is settled, I'll naturally come back."

Slightly disappointed, Bai Chen withdrew his gaze, shrugged, and walked to the sofa to sit down.

"What, were you practicing your sword just now?"

"Hmm, accumulating insights from cultivation, consolidating one's realm, preventing any oversights... Do you want to learn?"

After a slight hesitation, Yin Hongxiao asked the question.

"The combination of the 'Orchid Heart in the Empty Valley' technique and the 'Red Dust Swordplay' can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Although I don't have the manual for the 'Red Dust Swordplay' here, with your talent, you should be able to master it quickly."

"The Mortal World Sword Technique? How long does it take to learn it?"

Intrigued, Bai Chen asked.

"Hmm... It took me three years to master it. If it were you, Young Master Bai, it would probably only take a year..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."

Bai Chen raised his hand and decisively interrupted the other person.

—He felt that spearmanship was more suitable for him than swordsmanship.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Sitting up straight, Bai Chen looked at the girl in front of him who seemed a little awkward for some reason and spoke seriously.

"You have 113 different poisons in your body, but the most crucial one is the [Sound Puppet], a unique poison made primarily from 'Octopus Tentacle Piccolo.' It's because of this poison that you've been almost completely shut down regarding player abilities, and you're completely obedient to me. The other poisons are easy to cure, but this one is the most troublesome."

"...That material was taken from the live octopus, one of the three great cataclysms, and it is a contraband."

After a brief silence, Yin Hongxiao answered in a low voice.

"That octopus has the ability to turn people into puppets; wherever it goes, everything turns into a living doll."

"That's why I said that kind of poison is very troublesome to cure. To cure it, we need a main ingredient that corresponds to its rank as an extract... We'll see if we can find one later."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Chen waved his hand.

"Over the next two weeks, I will begin to slowly remove the toxins from your body. During this time, you..."

Before Bai Chen could finish his sentence, the doorbell suddenly rang, followed by Su Qun's deliberately amplified voice from outside the door.

"Old Bai, open the door! I've brought some people to see you!!"

"...Here it comes."

Bai Chen glanced thoughtfully towards the door, then gave Yin Hongxiao a look before standing up.

Just as he had guessed, as the door opened, besides Su Qun, who looked displeased, stood two men in casual clothes with imposing presence, flanking him like guardian angels.

"You're Bai Chen?"

After giving him a sharp look from head to toe, the man standing to the left of the group spoke first.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

He didn't seem inclined to let them in. Leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, Bai Chen raised an eyebrow.

"We suspect you are involved in a serious incident that occurred at Tianhuo Internet Cafe a few days ago. We hope you can come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

Seeing the other party's impolite behavior, Qin Feng took out an ID card from his pocket and placed it in front of the other party, his tone becoming slightly colder.

However, to his surprise, before the person in question could even reply, Su Qun, who was standing next to him, immediately objected.

"What?! You didn't say that before! My brother didn't do anything wrong, so why are you taking him back for questioning?!"

"This is official business."

Qin Feng frowned as he looked at Su Qun, who stood fearlessly in front of him.

He had checked the other party's information; in Jiangcheng, he was considered a moderately wealthy second-generation heir... but that was about it.

In front of those monstrous things, they don't care how much money or power you have; they treat everyone equally.

...But he never expected that the other party would be able to escape from the stairwell disaster that they had considered an unsolvable problem.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least the other party's appearance gave them a clue to investigate a certain matter.

The existence of players from other worlds is not a secret within the relevant departments. They actually want to establish diplomatic relations with these players from other worlds, but unfortunately, these players from other worlds are quite wary of them, and there have even been several conflicts in the past.

The incident that occurred a few days ago at Tianhuo Internet Cafe once again revealed the existence of these otherworldly players. However, due to a lack of necessary clues and an inability to allocate more manpower, the investigation stalled for a time.

...until the emergence of the colony.

An ordinary person who escaped from an unsolvable disaster was enough for them to invest a lot of resources in investigating. Originally, this was just a routine matter, but they did not expect that by following the clues of the person's relationships, they would find a big fish.

—A player from another world follows Bai Chen, a soon-to-be college student.
