Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"This village is full of strange rules, with countless taboos and restrictions. No one dares to break them easily—even powerful monsters have to abide by the rules here."

Luo Yuerao slowed her pace, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of seriousness as she slowly recounted the information she had gathered.

She paused slightly, then changed the subject, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes, and said the news Gu Ye most urgently wanted to know: "There's another, most troublesome thing—once we're in, we can't get out. The village seems to be shrouded in some strange force; only by breaking that barrier can we leave."

The two walked side by side and soon reached the end of the village.

Gu Ye looked up at the road extending beyond the village. The night was deep and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Only the starlight poured down, scattering tiny silver specks on the ground, making the road appear even more desolate and eerie.

A thought struck him, and he slowly stretched out his right hand, reaching towards the outside of the village.

The moment my fingertips touched an invisible barrier, I felt a cold, hard sensation, as if I had hit an unseen wall and remained motionless.

"It's an invisible wall." Luo Yueyao's red lips parted slightly, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable certainty. Her gaze fell on Gu Ye's hand, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. "I've tried several times, but I simply can't get through."

Gu Ye withdrew his hand, his gaze fixed on Luo Yueyao. "You should have a way, right?"

Luo Yuerao helplessly spread her hands, pouted slightly, and shook her head in feigned grievance: "No, if I had a way, I would have tried to break through on my own long ago. Why would I be waiting for you here?"

Forehead--!

Gu Ye's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "You should have arrived a few hours earlier than me. Did you have any clues?"

Luo Yueyao's playful expression vanished, her brows furrowing slightly. She gently rubbed her fingertips together, and after a moment's thought, she slowly said, "There should be some clues, but I'm not sure. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to investigate further."

After saying that, she looked up at Gu Ye and added casually, "Now, we should go to sleep."

Upon hearing the word "sleep," Gu Ye was instantly startled, his eyes widening in surprise, his voice filled with astonishment: "Sleep?!"

He subconsciously took a half step back, looking somewhat uneasy.

Luo Yue Rao rolled her beautiful fox-like eyes at him. "What are you thinking? The village rules state that you must enter your room before 11 o'clock every day and close the doors and windows."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I see."

Luo Yuerao leaned forward, tilted her head to look at him, and raised an eyebrow.

A sly glint flashed in Luo Yuerao's eyes. She leaned forward slightly, tilted her head, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with a hint of mockery:

"What, you're complaining even though your older sister sleeps with you?"

"How could that be! It's just that you're so beautiful, I'm afraid I might not be able to control myself," Gu Ye hurriedly explained, making up a random excuse.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yueyao's expression brightened, a beautiful blush spreading across her face. She coughed twice and said, "Let's go to our lodgings first!"

She quickened her pace and walked ahead of Gu Ye.

If people who know Luo Yuerao knew that this charming queen could actually be shy, they might feel like they'd seen something strange.

You should know that among those who know her, the general consensus is that she looks alluring and seductive, but if you think she's easy to seduce, Luo Yue Rao will give you a taste of being roasted by lightning.

Luo Yuerao led Gu Ye through the village, turning left and right, until they came to a small alley. Standing in front of a mud-brick house, she reached out and pushed open the dusty door.

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

"Is this the house you found?" Gu Ye stepped into the house, which was a courtyard of moderate size with a stone mill in the middle. The wooden millstone was badly damaged by insects.

Luo Yuerao may have misunderstood Gu Ye's meaning, thinking he was disgusted, and immediately rolled her eyes.

"As long as I have a place to stay, that's fine."

Gu Ye laughed upon hearing this, "Haha!"

"It's not that I dislike them, it's just that I have a bit of nostalgia for these farm tools."

Luo Yuerao asked curiously, "You recognize these things?"

"Of course, I'll still use it."

These skills existed deep in Gu Ye's memory. In his previous life, he came from a rural background, so how could he not know how to use these familiar farming tools?

Later, when he went to university, his family renovated their house, and these farm tools were abandoned in a corner. He also went out to work, drawing books to earn money, and never saw them again.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yueyao's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity about Gu Ye. She hadn't expected that Gu Ye would still be able to use these farming tools from who-knows-how-many eras ago.

Luo Yuerao walked in, closed the door, locked it, and the two went straight to the octagonal table and sat down.

Gu Ye lightly brushed the dust off the table with his fingertips, looked up at Luo Yuerao, and asked in a serious tone, "Is the biggest ghost in the village the one who made the village rules?"

"It should be. I asked people from other federations, and they said that some of them had entered the village first, but many of them were tricked and killed in order to gather useful information."

It's very difficult to uncover the tricks behind the formulation of village rules.

A thoughtful look flashed across Gu Ye's brow. "Did they try to forcefully break through the invisible wall?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yueyao nodded slightly, took out a card that transformed into a mobile phone, and played a video.

Gu Ye looked closely and saw that the video showed a group of people trying to violently break through the village, but their attack passed through the invisible wall the moment it touched it and struck the road in the distance.

After that, no matter how they attacked, they could not touch the invisible wall, but as soon as they walked over, they would still be blocked by the invisible wall.

"It's only the first day, so the information we can gather is very limited. We must also be careful of those unpredictable rules," Luo Yuerao said solemnly, expressing her thoughts.

Gu Ye nodded, raised his wrist, checked the time, and said:

"Why is it that you have to be back in your room by 11 p.m.?"

Luo Yuerao said, "An examinee from the Linfeng Port Federation paid the price of an arm to obtain this information from a butcher. It is an unspoken village rule."

"Every night after 11 p.m., everyone must return to their rooms and is prohibited from going out. As for what will happen, no one knows."

"Haha~~!"

Luo Yuerao seemed to have thought of something and unconsciously let out a soft laugh.

Gu Ye looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Do you know how this information got so widely disseminated?

"That man only told his companion who came with him, but who knew that his companion would give the information to a woman unconditionally for the sake of her, and then the information was spread."

Gu Ye was speechless upon hearing this; it seemed that being a simp was truly not an option.
