In the pitch-black underground, silence surrounded them, when suddenly, a rustling sound echoed, followed by a shadow crawling out from the passage entrance. The mont it crawled out, the entrance behind it suddenly closed.
The shadow leaped up in shock, and at that mont, suddenly—
Whoosh—
The shadow that had just jumped into the air began trembling violently: "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!!"
"Squeak!!!"
"Squeak———"
The sharp screams gradually weakened until there wasn’t a single sound left.
Sheng Qingyan withdrew his gun, slightly disdainful, "Even a level 1 rat isn’t enough as an appetizer, what a waste of talent, don’t call for such trivial matters again, I’m going to sleep~"
After speaking, Sheng Qingyan lay on the wall and closed his eyes.
second.
"Sigh~"
"Sigh~"
"Sigh~"
Chu Jiaojiao, Ji You, Shen Changqing glanced at each other, Ji You tilted his head, "Did Spicy Eye really fall asleep?"
Chu Jiaojiao moved closer, reached out to check Sheng Qingyan’s breath, and nodded, "...Yes, he really fell asleep."
Ji You’s eyes sparkled, "Spicy Eye’s Space Button is on him, right? How about the three of us see how much money Spicy Eye has in his pocket?"
Chu Jiaojiao got quite interested upon hearing this, "That’s a good idea. Actually, I’ve been curious about how much money and good stuff Spicy Eye has been hiding." Having said that, Chu Jiaojiao made a move to grab Sheng Qingyan’s Space Button.
With his eyes closed, Sheng Qingyan continued to snore audibly, seemingly sleeping like a dead pig.
Chu Jiaojiao’s action hesitated for a mont, then she looked up at Ji You, and Ji You said, "Ask your own heart! Girl! I must solemnly and seriously tell you one thing: You must learn to trust yourself, at any ti, it’s always yourself giving you courage and support, and you—only need to follow your heart, work hard, be strong, be brave, and take the step you want."
Chu Jiaojiao: "..."
Shen Changqing: "..."
Shen Changqing muttered quietly, "Saying so much, the main idea is just to persuade Jiaojiao to take Ayan’s Space Button."
"Cough cough!" Ji You coughed heavily and glared at Shen Changqing, reiterating pointedly, "Classmate Shen Changqing, my main idea also encourages you to take it."
Shen Changqing: "..."
Shen Changqing promptly shut his mouth.
Ji You glanced at Sheng Qingyan, who was laying on the wall, motionless. He really showed no reaction to their conversation.
Ji You: "..."
The Space Button is about to be stolen, yet this guy still sleeps soundly?
Real sleep?
Fake sleep?
Over here, after listening to Ji You’s words, Chu Jiaojiao reached out, hesitating whether to follow her heart and take it or be restrained by morality not to take it. She lowered her head, examining Sheng Qingyan, with night vision goggles, she could clearly see Sheng Qingyan’s distinct, dense, and long eyelashes, his face as smooth and bouncy as a peeled egg, delicate eyebrows, and rosy-colored lips...
Hm?
Facing this appetizing sleeping beauty scene, Chu Jiaojiao raised her hand and rcilessly pinched Sheng Qingyan’s cheek hard.
Sheng Qingyan furrowed his brows and exclaid loudly, "Jiaojiao, oh, stop it, oh~ I have no money, no money, no money~"
He kept his eyes closed while speaking.
Chu Jiaojiao shrugged, "Alright, confird, it’s fake sleep."
Having said that.
She reached out and swiftly took Sheng Qingyan’s Space Button hanging around his neck.
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Sheng Qingyan cursed, "You knew I wasn’t sleeping, so why did you take my Space Button~"
Chu Jiaojiao and Ji You said in unison, "None of your business, you sleep, you sleep..."
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Shen Changqing reduced his presence throughout, lowered his head, and stared at the corpse of the level 1 Black Gold Rat at the passage entrance...
Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao wasted no ti, and the two imdiately opened Sheng Qingyan’s Space Button, at that mont, Shen Changqing, who had been pretending not to be there, quietly perked up his ears.
Ji You pursed his lips, "Little Stupid, if you want to know, just co over and take a look. Why be so hesitant?"
Shen Changqing stiffened all over.
The next second.
Shen Changqing suddenly turned around, his face flushed, but he still tried to stay calm, walking over to Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, curiously staring at the Space Button.
Then—
The expressions on all three faces simultaneously froze. Inside, there was a stack of about 100 low-level nutrient solutions, along with two Soul Devices, and a lump of black blob, nothing else!
Really.
Not a grain of rice could be found.
Ji You exclaid, "Tsk! Poor dead!"
Chu Jiaojiao covered her face, "You are poverty-stricken like this!"
Shen Changqing opened his mouth, swallowed back, opened his mouth again, swallowed back, when everyone thought he simply couldn’t find the words, it seed impossible to say anything, Shen Changqing suddenly said, "Ayan, let lend you so money."
Ji You’s fingers shook, "Seriously! Little Stupid, repeat what you just said!"
Shen Changqing: "???"
Although bewildered, Shen Changqing still spoke up, "Ayan, I..."
Ji You quickly interjected, "Take out Ayan."
Shen Changqing: "..."
Almost choked, Shen Changqing promptly said, "I’m not lending you money."
Ji You: "Tch! No fun."
anwhile, Sheng Qingyan grumbled and cursed, "Seen enough? If so, I’ll put my Space Button back. Really, a bunch of paupers, who’s classier than whom, and also, look closely, these two Soul Devices are crafted by Green Glaze Master, personally made by Green Glaze Master! Where am I poor? If I let out that I’m willing to sell them, easily, it’d be millions."
Ji You scoffed, "Millions, and you’re still a poor ghost."
Sheng Qingyan elegantly rolled his eyes, saying, "No matter how poor I am, compared to you with all your debts, I’m still a bit richer."
Ji You’s mouth stiffened, "Cough cough... Why are we talking about this? Who started it? Hurry up and shut up. Let’s get to work."
Beside them, Little Golden Dragon suddenly popped out two dragon horns, "Ji You——"
Initially, Ji You didn’t hear it, Little Golden Dragon cleared its throat and raised its voice a bit, "Ji You~~~~"
Upon hearing Little Golden Dragon’s voice, Ji You shuddered, goosebumps really appearing. You know, the Little Golden Dragon is an arrogant dragon, a smug dragon, always acting like a silly overbearing CEO. Now, it actually let out such a soft, coquettish, and pampering tone...
This!
This!
This!
It’s a plot to gain fortune and harm life!
Ji You imdiately got vigilant, "What are you up to?"
Little Golden Dragon looked up at Ji You, showing a smile, "Woman—your suspicious and cautious look inexplicably piques my interest, how about you—"
Stopping there, Little Golden Dragon pointed to the side at Sheng Qingyan, opening its mouth—
