"And with this prop,"
"Can you imagine that scene, Yi?"
"Hmm."
Sitting aside, Sword Without End nodded expressionlessly, "It would instantly create a huge Silver Party scene. Tuberculosis Rabbit, can't you have sothing normal in your head for once?"
"So you long to create a Silver Party that much?"
"You don't know shit. This is called a tactic for defeating the enemy."
Tuberculosis Rabbit rolled his eyes at Sword Without End and stopped paying him any attention, instead burying himself in reviewing the huge pile of E-grade items before him. It was a substantial task; he had to look through everything before he could sleep peacefully, or else it would haunt his dreams.
...
Lying beside him, Chen Yi let out a sigh and fell silent, letting Tuberculosis Rabbit busy himself. Given Tuberculosis Rabbit's physical condition, there was no risk of him dying suddenly from overexertion.
Even if he did die suddenly, it was a trivial matter; he'd just have to make another trip back from hell, which would be a bit of hassle at most.
With Tuberculosis Rabbit's strength, there was no question of not making it back from hell.
At that mont—
Chen Yi saw his personal panel vibrate slightly, and the 'Goblin rchant' occupation began to fade away. Followed by the system notification sound, a new occupation na erged on his personal panel.
'Ding, player Chen Yi's Faceless One occupation 'Goblin rchant' has expired for this week. The new occupation for the upcoming week will now be randomized, and the new occupation is 'Playboy'.'
-
'Occupation Na': Playboy.
'Occupational Effect': Attracts the opposite sex more strongly as a passive effect, which cannot be toggled on or off.
'Occupational Restriction': Ineffective against the sa sex and different races.
-
"..."
Chen Yi looked at his occupation panel expressionlessly and remained silent.
And just then—
Lying on a nearby beach chair, Jiaye seed to sense sothing and suddenly looked up at Chen Yi, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Yi, I don't know why, but why do I suddenly feel like you're even more handso than usual?"
After saying that,
She subconsciously squeezed her legs together, seemingly out of control.
"I thought I was the only one who felt this way."
Sword Without End scratched his back uncomfortably, as if itching all over, and looked at Yi with a dark expression, "This feels wrong. I see Yi as a big brother, how can I have these feelings?"
"There must be a scoundrel scheming against us."
anwhile, Tuberculosis Rabbit swallowed his saliva and murmured in a daze, "Are the aftereffects of not sleeping for three days this severe? Why do I find Yi so... delectable?"
"Could it be that my butt in a past life was ant for Yi?"
"That's disgusting... For the first ti, I feel like I'm not completely obedient to Yi."
As for Tie Chui standing aside, although he didn't speak and showed little emotion, from his tensed posture, it was clear that the kid was stonier than usual...
"Scram!"
Chen Yi spat out a word, his face ashen as he shared his occupation panel and abruptly stood up from the beach chair to walk alone into his Crimson Palace, deciding not to show his face for the next seven days.
What the hell kind of shitty occupation is this!!!
Most importantly, he couldn't even turn off the effects of this occupation if he wanted to; the effects were passive and could not be toggled on or off.
This was the first ti he felt there was a reason for occupational restrictions to exist.
His 'Faceless One' occupational effects granted him immunity to the 'Playboy' restrictions, but this made him feel even more repulsed. Originally, it would have only affected the opposite sex, but now, it worked on the sa sex as well.
"Fuck!"
In the end, he couldn't hold back his curse.
Jiaye, her cheeks tinged with red, followed Chen Yi into the Crimson Palace, leaving Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others sitting on the sand.
...
"What kind of shitty occupation is this?"
Watching Yi's departing back, Sword Without End lay back down on the beach to bask in the sunlight. Resting his arms behind his head and closing his eyes leisurely, he casually said, "By the way, Tuberculosis Rabbit, have you ever had your back scrubbed at the bathhouse?"
"Specialty of the North, you can't find it in the South."
"I've been there."
Tuberculosis Rabbit continued to bury his head in his work without looking back.
And Sword Without End didn't care either; he just started recounting casually, "The most embarrassing thing in my life happened in a bathhouse. It was a large public bath, and I still rember the na of that place to this day."
"It's called Jinglong Bay."
"It really left a deep impression. That ti, I went to that bathhouse specifically to enjoy the legendary Northern scrub down. Before going, I Googled a lot of things, like whether I should use skin scrubbing products, whether to apply salt or sothing."
"You really did your howork."
"But when I entered the bathhouse and saw so many naked n walking down a corridor into the hot spring, I knew I was being a bit presumptuous."
"But since I was already there, of course, I went in with gritted teeth."
"After soaking for a while, the most crucial part ca—"
"Scrub down!"
Sword Without End, with a bit of lingering emotion, licked the corner of his mouth and exclaid, "This experience is sothing I'll rember for the rest of my life. I was lying flat, and the bathhouse attendant, a man over fifty, started to apply the mud scrub on ."
"I don't know if it was because of scrubbing people every day that the attendant's hands were quite smooth, but they kept spreading bubbles on ."
"It felt very strange and uncomfortable."
"At that point, the only thing on my mind was the discomfort, and nothing else. But then the unfortunate thought popped into my head—if at this mont little brother decided to stand up, that would be a disaster."
"As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I knew it wasn't a good sign."
"Often, the more you don't want sothing to happen, the more likely it is to happen. What's that called, Murphy's Law, right?"
"Then I tried my best to control myself, to not feel anything, to not react."
"But the more I did so, the more uncontrollable it felt."
"Finally, after one minute, little brother, discontent with loneliness, stood up tall and proud. At that ti, there were six beds, and every other bed had soone getting a scrub down. Everyone had been chatting with each other, and the noise was quite loud."
"But gradually, the voices died down, until there was a silence as still as death."
"Although I was lying with my eyes closed, I could feel the complex gazes from everyone around ."
"..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, who was previously seriously selecting a Level E Prop, at so point had sat down next to Sword Without End, with a serious expression and a face full of anticipation, excitedly saying with an intense desire to hear gossip, "What happened next?"
"What happened next? Of course, I ran away."
Sword Without End sighed helplessly, "I just jumped off the bed and ran outside, even heading out of the bath center main hall without rinsing off the foam, wearing only my bathing suit."
"Do you know what that looked like?"
"A guy in a bathing suit holding his clothes, with skin still covered in soap, rushing out of the bath center lobby in a flurry. The receptionist didn't even ask for my locker key or to pay; she just scread and ran out with ."
"In an instant, there had been quite a few people sitting in the bath center lobby, and they all rushed out with in a panic."
"Then soone shouted 'Fire!', and I saw countless bare-assed n and won wrapped in towels rushing out of the bath center..."
"It was only later that I found out they thought sothing had happened inside when they saw running out like that. Just at that mont, so kid had the bad luck to hit the fire alarm button, which set off the wailing alarms."
"..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at Sword Without End, slightly disappointed, "That's it? Just this? I thought there would be a more interesting plot afterward."
"What else could have happened?"
Sword Without End rolled his eyes at Tuberculosis Rabbit in annoyance: "Weren't you busy fiddling with your thing just now? How co you're so enthusiastic about this gossip?"
"It's human nature."
...
Over the next few days, Chen Yi indeed stayed in his Crimson Palace, never leaving his residence. Given his current Occupational Effect, it was not suitable for him to go out and see people.
Nor could he see people.
What kind of ssy Occupation is this? Lying on the beach, even the glances from players of the sa sex gave him the creeps.
He was filled with aversion.
And so, ti slowly moved into November.
When the clock struck midnight at the start of November, the monthly rule for November also descended.
