The next day, Gu Chi felt the efficiency of the old players.

Because he stayed up late studying new knowledge with Xia Ling until the morning, he slept until the afternoon.

Fortunately, today is Saturday, so there's no need to go to work.

Xia Ling woke up a little earlier than him.

As soon as Gu Chi opened his eyes, he saw the girl's head resting on his chest, blinking at him.

The luxurious velvet quilt did not completely cover her delicate body, her smooth shoulders were exposed, and a fair arm was wrapped around him. Looking inside, he could see the delicate collarbone of the girl, the slightly sunken little hollow looked deep and shadowy due to the posture, and it should taste good to hold milk.

I'll try it another day!

Nothing else could be seen, all blocked by Xia Ling's black hair scattered on him.

Gu Chi occasionally liked to play with the hair of the two sisters, like now.

"Good morning, Gu Chi." Xia Ling knew that Gu Chi would be dazed for a while after waking up, so she waited for two minutes before speaking.

"It's already afternoon." Gu Chi picked up his phone from the bedside table and said, "And even if it's morning, you shouldn't say good morning."

Xia Ling: "Then what should I say?"

Gu Chi: "You were amazing last night."

"Do I even need to say it?" Xia Ling blinked playfully. "Gu Chi, you've always been amazing, haven't you?"

Gu Chi affectionately pinched the girl's face. "I like the way you speak your mind."

After chatting with Xia Ling for a while, Gu Chi put on his bathrobe and got up, instructing the maid to make "breakfast."

While washing up, he opened the Eye of Peeping—

Apart from him and Xia Ling, and the offline Don't Hit Me, I Surrender, among the other nine players, four players whose personal tasks were unrelated to PVP had already completed their tasks, leaving only one Ghostly Child.

"So fast?"

Gu Chi suspected that these old players didn't sleep last night.

Although he didn't sleep last night either.

Xia Ling was eager for knowledge, and Gu Chi shared everything with her.

"Gurgle gurgle... Puff."

After a few washes, he was done.

Gu Chi came out of the bathroom and picked up the newspaper.

It was all ordinary news, and the only exciting thing was the nobleman who succeeded in catching adultery last time. They made a video and accidentally leaked it through the family's servant, so it made the front page of the side section.

The upper class has always placed great importance on face, and the nobleman actually did what he said, he's a tough guy.

Life in the ball is also very exciting, not worse than the outside world.

But Gu Chi didn't want to see these gossip news, he wanted to see Ghostly Child.

The previous reports have shown that this girl is definitely not as innocent as she looks, doing things like cutting out hearts, a bit of violence and blood.

She even dared to kill the guards in the detention center, this time going to the cathedral to steal magic spells, it should cause quite a stir.

But strangely, there was no news in the newspaper. Could it be that Ghostly Child hasn't started yet?

Another possibility is that Ghostly Child found out that she couldn't win after sneaking in, and turned into a slippery fish.

Gu Chi hoped it wouldn't be like that.

Ghostly Child's attributes are higher than him and Xia Ling combined, and as an old player, the girl must have some powerful means. If even Ghostly Child can't get the scriptures, then he and Xia Ling will have to plan for the long term.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

The personal mode of the instance will not end forcibly because some players have completed the task. He and Xia Ling can stay in the instance for a full 18 days.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The maid came over with a delicate lunch.

Gu Chi gave them all the money he had earned from divination over the past two days, asking them to buy more ingredients for cooking, with good quality and variety, ensuring that every meal is delicious and has new flavors.Gold coins are only useful to him for enjoying good food.

Starting from the morning, the female chef has been trying to develop new dishes. Although she already knows enough dishes to last Gu Chi for a month without repeating, it's rare to have the opportunity to experiment at the public's expense, so she naturally wants to make the most of it and expand her culinary skills. So this lunch was made very quickly, and the kitchen was filled with various pre-prepared ingredients that could be used without the need to wash or cut them.

Xia Ling was still curled up in bed, not wanting to get up.

Gu Chi asked, "Do you want to eat something before going back to sleep?"

Xia Ling had other ideas. She always felt that life was incomplete if she didn't tease this man for a day.

A pair of smooth, snowy legs stretched out from under the covers, and Xia Ling said ambiguously, "How about we learn some new knowledge before eating?"

Gu Chi lazily cut the steak and said, "Forget it. It's useless to learn more in the instance. Some people will act dumb and forget everything as soon as they go offline."

Xia Ling blushed slightly. How could she not hear Gu Chi teasing her for being timid in real life? But there was nothing she could do. She was a girl and had to maintain a certain level of reserve.

Xia Ling stubbornly said, "That's not necessarily true. What if it's you who's afraid?"

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Gu Chi said. "If I'm really afraid, it's your problem. Don't blame me."

Xia Ling: "?"

He's blaming her for this?

"Do my fears have anything to do with you?" Xia Ling said.

Gu Chi asked back, "Aren't you afraid of coming to see me when Xia Leng isn't at home?"

Xia Ling: "?"

She's already arranged everything for her, hasn't she?

Dream on!

Xia Ling didn't want to fulfill Gu Chi's wish and provocatively said, "I want to come to see you when Xia Leng is at home, right in front of her. Let's see if you're still so tough then."

Gu Chi said, "Okay, let's practice first."

Xia Ling was about to ask how to practice when she saw Gu Chi walking over with a cut steak and sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a piece of it up to her mouth.

The freshly fried steak was still glistening with oil and drizzled with a special pepper sauce, emitting a rich fragrance that made one's mouth water just from the smell.

Being fed by someone you like is a very happy thing, especially in bed. Usually, only boys who spoil girls very much would do this. Xia Ling naturally felt very happy, but was this piece of steak too big?

It's even bigger than the apple last time!

"Clearly, you know I have a small mouth. You should cut it smaller," Xia Ling pouted.

Gu Chi said, "If it's smaller, how can you practice?"

Xia Ling: "???"

Is this what you meant by practice?

In fact, most of the time, driving was just for fun, to add some flavor to the relationship between the two people. It wasn't really about doing anything. From a psychological point of view, some sensitive and taboo topics could indeed make people more excited and happy. Gu Chi could understand Xia Ling, so he always cooperated with her, including this time.

The main purpose was still to feed Xia Ling, teasing her was just a side effect.

Seeing Xia Ling staring at him with a bad look, Gu Chi found it funny and prepared to cut a smaller piece for her.

But unexpectedly, the silent girl suddenly opened her lips, took a bite of the steak, and grabbed his wrist to hold the fork, tilting her head forward and forcibly swallowed the almost palm-sized piece of steak.

Gu Chi: "?"

Is she really going all out?

"Don't choke," Gu Chi put down the plate and went to get grape juice for the girl.

Xia Ling's mouth was swollen from being stuffed, and she said incoherently with a red face, "Practice, I hope a certain someone won't be a coward when the time comes."

Gu Chi: "……"

For some reason, he thought of the computer desk at home.

Xia Ling ate this meal very full.

Her mouth was full, and her stomach was full.

Fortunately, the steaks that followed were very small, even smaller than what an average person would eat. It was clear that they were cut according to her and Xia Leng's mouth shapes. This showed that Gu Chi actually doted on her. It wasn't in vain for her to practice so hard for him just now.

After finishing the steak, Xia Ling rested for a few minutes, then wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to the bathroom, rinsed quickly, and came out in sportswear, ready to work - she was going to fulfill the prophecy with Gu Chi.

Like a monk striking the bell every day, Gu Chi did not forget his basic work.

It's just that what happened next was somewhat unexpected for him.

The maid knocked on the door again and whispered outside, "Mr. Chase Lee, last night's guests have arrived."

Gu Chi and Xia Ling glanced at each other, and Gu Chi asked, "How many people?"

The maid replied, "Eight."

Gu Chi said, "Please ask them to sit in the living room for a while."

The maid said, "Yes."

Her footsteps gradually faded away.

"Why did they come over today?" Xia Ling frowned slightly and recalled the process of last night's player meeting. She didn't miss anything, did she? It's only the fourth day, weren't they supposed to come back on the seventh day?

"Let's go see and find out," Gu Chi said.

If it weren't for the fact that the other side hadn't surrendered and died, he would consider whether a group of old players would be unfriendly. But now, it wasn't necessary, because Power 39 was very likely on his side - at least for the time being. Before achieving his goal, Power 39 shouldn't turn against him. Gu Chi didn't even bother to put on a robe. The players had suddenly come to visit, and dressing too formally would seem deliberate. He just wore a mask to maintain his air of mystery and went downstairs.Xia Ling didn't change her clothes either. Her player identity had been revealed, so there was no need to pretend anymore.

The two of them arrived in the living room.

Gu Chi immediately noticed Power 39.

The big brother was wearing a bright yellow suit today, which was truly a rare sight in his life. Coupled with his slightly curly hair, it was almost too trendy. Gu Chi's mouth twitched under his mask, feeling that this outfit was even more flashy than Dr. Chen's white leather shoes.

Another eye-catching person was Forget-Me-Not. Last night, she and Xia Ling had already matched all the players' IDs and appearances through their attributes.

This woman couldn't be considered particularly beautiful, with an initial looks value of around 7. But her figure was extremely hot. Today, she was wearing a blue and white floral cheongsam with a high slit, which further highlighted her voluptuous figure. She sat on the sofa with her long legs crossed, the tips of her high heels slightly raised, looking in a good mood.

Gu Chi didn't see Ghostly Child.

"Mr. Prophet."

Seeing him approach, all the players stood up, smiling and nodding to greet him, showing their respect for the 999 total attributes.

Gu Chi gestured for them to sit, and he also sat on the independent sofa in the main seat, asking, "What brings you here today?"

"We plan to leave tomorrow, so we came to inform Mr. Prophet. We also wanted to ask for Mr. Prophet's help," Power 39 got straight to the point, grinning. "By the way, Forget-Me-Not is on her way here after finishing her tasks."

Power 39 hadn't expected the other players to complete the tasks so quickly.

After the meeting ended last night, they exchanged numbers and then went back to their respective hotels, not staying together.

Coincidentally, both he and Surrender were staying at the Eaton Manor.

Starting from this morning, Power 39 had received calls from the other players one after another—they had agreed to inform each other after completing the tasks, and if everything went smoothly, the instance might end ahead of schedule.

As a result, it turned out to be even earlier than expected. The earliest call came at eight in the morning when he was searching for the Katherin's Witching Chessboard based on the clues from Surrender that he got from Gu Chi.

The last call came at noon, and he hadn't even had lunch yet.

In other words, it took less than half a day for all the non-PVP players to complete their tasks, which was unbelievably fast.

It could only be said that the Prophet's contribution was indispensable.

In that case, what were they waiting for?

Tomorrow was the fifth day. After grabbing the keys in the morning, they would form a team in the afternoon and try to complete the instance within a third of the time limit, which should further improve their evaluation.

Gu Chi asked calmly, "What about the other two? Aren't they leaving?"

"I was just about to say," Power 39 said, "That girl has already finished her tasks and is on her way here."

The earliest call had been from Ghostly Child.

"As for the other person..." Power 39 paused and said, "He's dead."

"Oh?" Gu Chi raised an eyebrow.

Power 39 looked serious. "We just discussed it and suspect that the person who didn't show up last night did it."

"..."

Blaming someone to their face, huh?

He looked at Power 39, but he couldn't find any trace of strangeness on the man's face, not even a hint of lying.

If the person was really killed by Power 39, then Gu Chi felt that he could even fool a lie detector.

"You weren't together last night?" Gu Chi asked.

"No," Power 39 shook his head. "Mr. Prophet should also be able to see that our relationship is not purely cooperative. It's hard to sleep well when living in the same hotel, so we'd rather do our own things. As for his death, we only found out through some special means, but we don't know where the body is."

Gu Chi seemed to understand. "You want me to help you find the body so that you can take him back and bury him in your hometown?"

Power 39 hesitated.

The other players remained silent.

That wasn't necessary.

Power 39 hadn't expected Gu Chi to say such a thing.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. He had been observing Gu Chi's eyes the whole time, trying to find a flaw, but those eyes remained as calm as water, revealing nothing. If the other party was really a player, then Power 39 felt that Oscar owed him a little golden statue.

The two men silently acknowledged and warily watched each other.

Power 39 stared at Gu Chi and said seriously, "We want to ask Mr. Prophet if he can help us find the murderer and take him away with us."
