"Wait!"

Seeing Gu Chi and Xia Ling about to leave, Li Tianque knew that the time had come.

After finishing the official business, it was time to settle personal grievances!

The group of players sensed his imposing aura and keenly smelled the scent of trouble, so they all turned their gaze towards him.

"Who are you...?"

Gu Chi looked at Li Tianque blocking their way, feeling a bit puzzled.

He glanced at Xia Ling, who shook her head, indicating that she didn't know him either.

It was normal not to recognize each other.

The "face-changing" effect in the Pure Land game was very thorough. Many players treated each other like brothers in the instance, but as soon as they logged out, they would only say three words: "Who are you?"

There was no trace of familiarity at all.

Li Tianque also knew this, but he couldn't help but feel resentful.

It felt like being ruthlessly trampled on all night, and the next day when he went to find the other person to take responsibility, the other person pretended not to know him.

Seeing that Gu Chi had no impression of him, Li Tianque became more and more angry and directly revealed his identity: "Gu Changge, we meet again!"

Gu Chi was taken aback and looked Li Tianque up and down for a while, then his face showed a sudden realization.

He wondered who it was, looking so furious.

"So, it's Minister Li." Gu Chi sighed, "What a small world."

Li Tianque: ?

Who is your minister!

"Please call me Li Tianque." This was not his real name, but because his player ID was Deng Tianque and his real name was Li, everyone in the guild called him Li Tianque, so it didn't matter if he told Gu Chi.

Gu Chi nodded, "Alright, Minister Li."

Li Tianque: ??

Gu Chi asked again, "Minister Li, is there something you want from me?"

Li Tianque gritted his teeth, "Don't you know it yourself?"

Gu Chi asked expectantly, "Did you bring another treasure?"

Li Tianque: ???

He was speechless.

His fist clenched.

He forced him once, and this man actually wanted to force him a second time!

Did he think this was still Northern Rivers?

No, this is Yunhai!

In the game instance based on the Wuqu constellation, Li Tianque admitted that he couldn't defeat Gu Chi because the Speech Spirit Technique was too abnormal. But now they were in the real world, and he didn't believe that Gu Chi could bring the Speech Spirit Technique back.

Li Tianque said meaningfully, "Gu Changge, you are no longer Gu Changge now."

Gu Chi: "Oh?"

Li Tianque didn't waste any words and said directly, "Either give me back the treasure, or..."

Gu Chi interrupted, "Deal."

[Dao Yun -1]

Suddenly, a familiar sense of restraint came over Li Tianque. He felt like every part of his body was tied up with ropes, even his hair seemed to be locked up.

The night breeze blew, and his bangs didn't move, only his back and crotch felt cold.

Li Tianque: ...

So, he really brought the Speech Spirit Technique out?

Li Tianque: ...

Gu Chi asked softly, "What did Minister Li say just now?"

Li Tianque: ...

I didn't say anything.

Gu Chi said, "Either give me back the treasure, or..."

Li Tianque: "Take it!"

Everyone: ?

Although they didn't know the exact grievances between Gu Chi and Li Tianque, Li Tianque just stopped Gu Chi as if he wanted to fight, and now this?

Gu Chi arched his hand, "Thank you, Minister Li."

"You're welcome." Li Tianque closed his eyes as if he had lost his beloved, "Promise me, treat it well."

Everyone: ...

What a speech from the aggrieved party.

Li Tianque didn't want to say anything either.

But what could he do?

This man imprinted the Speech Spirit Technique!

The trip to Northern Rivers taught him a lesson.

If you can't beat them, join the Great Celestial.

"No fun, let's go."

The Lolita girl pouted and pulled her companions away when she realized they couldn't fight.

The others also dispersed.

The instance had been eliminated, and what happened next had nothing to do with the players.

Putting out the fire, assessing the damage, post-disaster reconstruction, and how to explain it to the public, these were all the government's affairs.

It was probably impossible to keep it a secret.

On the way back to the hotel on their bikes, Gu Chi and Xia Ling listened to people talking about the incident.

First, the time inexplicably skipped two days, then the temperature suddenly rose, and at night, there was a fire in the amusement park. The most important thing was the anomaly caused by Suo Tu's release of the forbidden curse, the pillar of fire reaching the sky. From a distance, it looked like aliens were coming in a spaceship and firing a laser onto the ground. You could see it just by looking up.

Now it was up to the experts to come up with an explanation.

After the game projection was recovered, the temperature in Yunhai City gradually returned to normal. The extreme ups and downs made Gu Chi feel the cold of approaching winter. The first thing he did when he returned to the hotel was to turn on the air conditioning and change the cold air to warm air.

"We don't have tickets for tomorrow, so we'll return the day after tomorrow." Gu Chi booked the return flight and threw his phone on the bed, preparing to take a shower.

"Okay." Xia Ling, sitting on the bed, responded, pretending to play with her phone while secretly stealing a glance at Gu Chi undressing, revealing his strong arms, well-proportioned muscles, and beautiful lines...

"This guy is quite sexy." Xia Ling muttered to herself in her heart. It was a pity that he didn't take off everything, and in the end, he was still wearing a vest.

"Is it good-looking?" Gu Chi suddenly spoke up, returning the question Xia Ling had asked him before.

Xia Ling: ...

She was caught.

But there was no need to panic, she had seen it all before.Xia Ling's cheeks were slightly flushed, but her expression was very calm. She commented seriously, "Not bad, keep it up."

After saying this, she didn't give Gu Chi a chance to tease her and immediately changed the subject, "I heard gunshots earlier, did someone try to snatch the BOSS?"

Gu Chi nodded, "It was quite far."

He didn't deliberately look for anyone, but he could roughly estimate the distance through the sound of the gunshots. At least, it wasn't within the amusement park.

And the red dot of the laser sight was on Suo Tu's head - to be precise, it was on top of his head, indicating that the other party's position was relatively high.

This was a bit strange.

There was nothing wrong with snatching the BOSS, Gu Chi could understand that. But to snatch the BOSS from a place that was both far and high, that was a bit off.

It was as if he knew that the Curse Bookstore would definitely explode, and Suo Tu would definitely jump out and unleash his ultimate move.

The strategy guide didn't say that.

But Gu Chi didn't delve into it.

As long as the other party didn't aim the gun at him or Xia Ling, he didn't bother thinking about anything else.

Gu Chi took out the Silent Sun Flame Crystal and tossed it to the girl, "I'm going to take a shower, you play with this first."

Xia Ling: "?"

"You mean playing with the ball is playing with this?"

Gu Chi raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to play with?"

Xia Ling giggled, "Just this!"

She wouldn't let Gu Chi tease her, but she could tease Gu Chi.

It was fun to be cheeky.

Xia Ling hadn't realized that what she was holding in her hand was a real treasure. She only felt that the crystal ball was warm and quite beautiful.

It wasn't until her gaze stayed on the ball for a few seconds that -

Xia Ling: "!!!"

My dear Gu Chi!

Is this forbidden?!

Gu Chi's ball was something that even a seasoned player like her had never seen before?

By this time, Gu Chi had already entered the bathroom, but he hadn't closed the door.

Xia Ling shouted, "Gu Chi!"

Gu Chi, who was running the water, asked, "What?"

Xia Ling: "Your ball is amazing!!"

Gu Chi: "......"

Xia Ling: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Gu Chi: "I forgot because Li Tianque interrupted me."

Speaking of Li Tianque, when they were leaving the amusement park earlier, Li Tianque had said that he would add him as a friend later.

Gu Chi logged into the game.

But before he could open his friend list, a system update announcement popped up first.

......

From now on, the basic updates will be two chapters at 12 o'clock! (Yesterday was not an extra update, extra updates will be specifically mentioned! I'm revising the manuscript here!) As for the plot, the Curse Bookstore is just a small shop used for foreshadowing, there is no separate volume, it's like a battle daily haha, we'll enter the next instance soon!

(End of the chapter)
