The next day.

Chi Liu suddenly opened his eyes in the morning light that leaked through the cracks in the curtains.

Before his consciousness completely returned, he hissed and moved his stiff, aching fingers, finally sensing the existence of a body that felt like it had been run over by something…

Huh, he didn’t die?

A strong arm was across his waist. He was stunned momentarily, then turned slightly, and a handsome sleeping face appeared.

Chi Liu opened his eyes wide: ? Who is this?

After a while, Chi Liu, whose face suddenly turned red as some memories returned: “…”

Last night was too crazy, and he didn’t remember much…

He moved his throat: If it weren’t a dream, it would be too embarrassing…

Chi Liu rubbed his face, performing psychological construction for a long time before taking a deep breath and moving the other’s arm around his waist to get up. He massaged his aching forehead and walked barefoot to the bathroom. Soon, the sound of rushing water filled the air.

Chi Liu stood under the shower, his stiff body covered with terrible marks, and stared dumbfounded at his abdomen: the skin there was originally fair and delicate, covered with thin, beautiful abdominal muscles and a mermaid line.

At this time, the abdominal muscles and mermaid line were still there, but no good skin was left. It bulged slightly in a strange arc, like a woman who had just conceived…

Chi Liu subconsciously moved his body, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide, his cheeks turning red as if they were about to drip blood…

That bastard…

But then he remembered that he seemed to be the one who took the initiative…

Under the rushing water, Chi Liu lowered his head and bit his lip, pressing on his abdomen. Warm water mixed with something flowed down his legs, and his face and earlobes were completely red, so ashamed that he wanted to disappear immediately…

…

He didn’t know how long it had been before the sound of rushing water stopped.

Chi Liu stood by the bed, thinking about where he had come to, while picking up any clothes he could still wear, including an ill-fitting shirt that didn’t belong to him.

The man on the bed slept soundly, and Chi Liu could barely hear his breathing.

When he was asleep, he looked innocent and naive. His face was three-dimensional and perfect, like a Greek statue, pure and handsome like an angel.

Chi Liu was still blushing after getting dressed. He looked at the other party awkwardly, was troubled for a while, and was about to leave when he accidentally saw something on the bedside table.

It was an ordinary mobile phone, and a delicate metal card, similar to a business or identity card, was pressed beneath it.

When he accidentally glanced at the words on it, Chi Liu’s pupils shrank: Yingwang Group · Chu Qi.

Chi Liu: “…”

He stared in disbelief at the harmless man sleeping on the bed, then immediately turned around and left the room.

…

The moment he left the hotel, a strange and noisy world rushed towards him.

Under the rising sun, tall buildings loomed, heavy traffic clogged the roads, and pedestrians rushed to work.

The sound of cars, people, telephones, and the sweet advertising voice on the giant electronic screen opposite him poured into Chi Liu’s ears simultaneously, and his ears buzzed.

This was not his world.

But it looked like a normal and ordinary world—if he hadn’t seen that business card.

He had seen the infinite flow novel “Player’s Game Manual” in his niece’s room.

In the story, players must overcome the dangerous copies set by Them in a terrible world to find the passage to the vacation world.

The vacation world is players’ most sacred and desired existence; very few can reach it through copies.

Moreover, the players who are struggling in the copies do not know that Their God has already easily sneaked into the vacation world, created Yingwang Group wearing human skin, and killed the players who finally arrived there.

Later, He even pulled an NPC to marry and have children, giving birth to the ultimate boss who would destroy the world!

Chi Liu looked at the Yingwang Group’s advertisement on the electronic screen opposite him, twitched the corners of his mouth, which were sore for some unspeakable reason, looked at the road signs, and strode in one direction.

…

“Police officer.” Chi Liu sat in the police station on Chunyu Street, staring at the opposite side with a serious face, but he couldn’t bring himself to say the following words.

He wanted to say, ‘Police officer, our world is in danger. An evil god has invaded!’

But saying such things to the police in a very real and normal world is awkward, and like a person with a mental health condition.

What’s more, he transmigrated and slept with that evil god…

He doubted whether he was crazy when these words appeared in his mind.

The young policeman tapped the pen in his hand, his attitude very gentle. “Well, please speak.”

Chi Liu smiled sincerely and tentatively said, “If I encounter a supernatural abnormal event, can I report it to your station?”

If this is a vacation world, every police station should have an abnormal event handling department responsible for handling these events.

After all, the monsters have infiltrated and invaded and will always cause abnormalities.

Even if the small NPCs don’t understand the truth of the world, they will exert extraordinarily tenacious resistance to protect their precious daily lives.

The policeman put down his pen, looked at the young man opposite him with some worry, and euphemistically reminded him: “…Have you been overworked recently? We young people can’t avoid seeing a doctor. No matter where there is a problem, we must go to the hospital in time.”

It seems that there is no such department.

Chi Liu didn’t continue to ask, smiled, and said: “Well, maybe I’m hallucinating. Thank you, I will go.”

He got up and was about to leave when the policeman opened a palm-sized electronic screen on the table, smiled, and reminded him, “Hey, wait a minute. I have to register your identity and take a look here.”

Chi Liu turned around in a daze. He had been transmigrated, making it impossible for him to possess an identity in this world.

The electronic screen had already scanned his face, and the identity authentication was confirmed with a “ding dong” sound. Chi Liu gazed at the electronic identity card displayed on the screen, which featured his one-inch photo and name, and widened his eyes in surprise: He actually has an identity in this world…

Is this a kind of golden finger for transmigrating into a book?

Having an identity can always alleviate a lot of trouble. Chi Liu didn’t allow himself to overthink. After leaving the police station, he walked into the depths of Chunyu Street—he was going to verify another location.

In the book, a few players who arrived in the vacation world established a secret player center to fight against the evil gods.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Chi Liu stood in front of a luxurious small western-style building, confirming that the player center did not exist either.

In the original work, this should have been an ordinary and low-key unit building, and the player center was in a room on the sixth floor.

To guide the newly arrived companions, the players would leave special biological particles near the player’s bracelet. The same bracelet would only detect those particles, but they would react with many surrounding plants, making them sweeter.

Chi Liu turned around and left, chewing on a bitter, ordinary willow leaf.

At this time, a luxury car slowly drove out of the carved iron gate, and a blond and blue-eyed face was revealed in the half-rolled down car window. The man looked at the elegant figure under the trees in the distance, and a morbid interest suddenly appeared in his empty eyes.

…

In the warm afternoon sun, Chi Liu walked on the road with his hands in his pockets, bathed in the rustling shadows of the trees.

He rubbed the mobile phone he had brought from his world into his pocket, thinking about his elder brother and sister-in-law and his lovely little niece.

He broke his promise.

After staring blankly for a while, Chi Liu smiled, with warmth in the corners of his lips—he was still alive, not so bad.

Moreover, there is no abnormal event handling department, no player center, and the probability that the guy he slept with last night, who was bad in bed, is a human being has immediately increased by at least 50%!

Well, it’s all good things.

Chi Liu’s steps were much lighter. He took out his mobile phone and tried to turn on the screen, thinking that it would be even better if his money could still be used to open a bar in this world to make a living.

Three seconds later, Chi Liu stared at the phone with wide eyes.

The bad news is that he can’t reach his family’s phone as expected, and the app, mobile phone card, and electronic bank card cannot be used or read.

The good news is that this mobile phone has dual cards… There is another card in the card slot, which is now automatically activated. The address book is blank, and an app has been added to the screen.

The app automatically reads Chi Liu’s face to log in. It appears to be payment transaction software for the vacation industry, displaying a balance of 10 million. Holder: Chi Liu.

Chi Liu raised his eyebrows: Wow.

The golden finger is quite considerate.

Chi Liu immediately took a taxi to the most prosperous commercial area for a hearty meal. He wandered around the city for the afternoon and changed into fresh clothes from head to toe, tossing the unpleasant shirt into the trash can.

In the evening, he found the address of his favorite shop.

The Yunzhong Building, situated on the river’s edge, is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. It is located on the city’s most prosperous commercial street.

Its top floor is ring-shaped, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the side facing the river and a large terrace. The terrace offers a wide view, from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the river and see the towering office buildings in the adjacent commercial area.

“Our location and scenery here are excellent, suitable for a high-altitude bar,” the manager enthusiastically promoted on the terrace. “There are many white-collar workers nearby, and everyone likes to have a drink after getting off work or on weekends to relax.”

“And there is a kitchen here, and a small warehouse, it couldn’t be more convenient for you to open a bar!”

Chi Liu was very satisfied with this place. When he visited, he had already identified various functional areas. When he came to the spacious terrace, he asked, “What did this shop do before? Why did it close down?”

The shops in this building are very popular, and only this one is for rent.

The manager was silent for a moment when he heard the words, unsure of what he had remembered. He twisted his face, saying, “This used to be a restaurant. It stands to reason that our restaurant business here is seamless, but… the owner’s taste is too unique, and the food for the customers is really…”

Chi Liu: “?”

The manager twitched the corner of his mouth, opened his mobile phone, searched for reviews, and put it in front of Chi Liu: “It can only be said that unpalatable is already the best evaluation.”

Chi Liu, who saw those weird GIFs: “…”

In the thick, unknown dark blue liquid, rolling fish eyeballs stared at the screen, and several thick and weird raw squid whiskers, bubbling out due to the stress response of the muscle nerves, were rolling in the liquid.

Customer No. 1 angrily commented: “Can you believe this dish is called [Flesh and Blood]?! Why does such dark cuisine and a tragic dish name appear in the restaurant?! I called the boss to reason, and the boss was still very aggrieved! He said he had dedicated himself to this dish, but why does everyone still dislike it?!”

“Um, what does the upstairs mean? The boss also dedicated himself to buying this recipe. God, he was cheated too badly!”

Customer No. 2 complained and collapsed: “Do you know their wine is octopus blood mixed with octopus ink? I drank that cup of terribly bad blue stuff before asking the boss what it was—ah ah ah ah!”

…

The manager scrolled through the weird, bad reviews he found and said: “…Anyway, that’s it. The boss went bankrupt later and now works as a cleaner in the building. If you rent this place, you may be able to meet him in the future.”

Chi Liu: “.”

The manager took out a document at this time: “If you are satisfied, you can sign a letter of intent first. It’s too late today. I will take you to the owner’s place tomorrow to sign the formal terms, and you have to stamp the official seal there!”

Chi Liu nodded and leaned casually on the terrace, signing his name.

Just then, he frowned and suddenly turned to look across the river.

For some reason, he always felt that… someone was looking at him there, and some undeniable gaze was projected on him as if it had substance, making the hair on his back stand on end.

That sense of substance was like… something was licking the back of his neck.

But how could it be? Someone was looking at him on a terrace on the 66th floor of this building across an entire river?

Seeing Chi Liu’s strangeness, the manager hurriedly asked: “Do you have any other questions?”

Chi Liu suppressed a sense of disharmony, smiled, and pointed to the tallest and most imposing building directly opposite the river: “What is that building?”

Manager: “Oh, that’s Yingwang Building. Our building belongs to Yingwang. We will go there tomorrow to sign the formal contract!”

Chi Liu: “…”

…

On the top floor of the Yingwang Building is the President’s Office.

The tall and handsome man in a suit and leather shoes stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back, focusing his gaze precisely on one place across the rolling clouds and the wide river.

The city’s neon lights had begun to flicker outside the glass, and the man’s shiny, dark pupils were curious and interested.

The secretary stood behind him, praising and affirming the boss as usual: “Boss, you performed very well at the bidding meeting today. Only the wisest and supreme can attend a meeting so perfectly.”

The boss did not publicly throw the NPC son of the competitor who came to provoke him directly out of the window on the thirty-something floor, but only launched a little mental pollution to make the other party have nightmares for three months.

What a kind and merciful disposal, saving his secretary more than a bit of trouble. The boss is really great!

The secretary was in an excellent mood, and his speech was much lighter: “Also, I am really very pleased that you didn’t eat that NPC last night.”

God knows that he spent the whole night struggling psychologically over whether to help the boss destroy the body and eliminate the traces. It’s really great that he doesn’t have to hide a strange NPC corpse that the boss vomited out and cannot digest in his body!

The man didn’t pay attention to those praises. He shook the goblet filled with dark red liquid like a normal president, but a strong dark blue tentacle quickly drilled out of his sleeve. It probed into the wine glass as if it had life, and ungracefully sucked the liquid clean—compared to the mouth on his face, he seemed to prefer to eat with other parts.

The man’s face appeared helpless and out of place. His smile was strange: “My little believer is too fanatical.”

The secretary was a little dazed: “…?”

The man continued to stare in a particular direction, his dark pupils shimmering with an unusual light, and said: “He offered me fine wine last night, asked me for seeds, and today, he followed me here again.”

Although he woke up in the morning and found that the little believer had left because he was too shy, he secretly took away his clothes because he admired himself too much.

He shook his head with a smile, and his three-dimensional, handsome face was reflected in the glass window: “So fanatical and clingy, it’s really a headache.”

The secretary looked at the much more vivid smile on his boss’s face, and his whole body was in a trance: “???”

What the hell? What is the boss talking about? What fine wine, what seeds, what believer???

What the hell happened last night?!

…

At night, Chi Liu took a hot bath and lay down on the soft bed in the hotel. He hissed and turned over. When the tense nerves relaxed and he stopped being busy, he realized the abnormality of his body very clearly.

Some fragments involuntarily appeared in his mind again, he twitched the corners of his mouth and covered his face, and the fair cheeks and neck turned red again—he hadn’t had a fever even after that, should he say he was lucky or gifted…

He also didn’t know when the marks on his body that he couldn’t even look at would disappear.

Honestly, he didn’t want to see the guy he had a one-night stand with again—even if the other party was human.

Anyone would be embarrassed to see a stranger they had a one-night stand with again, right?

However, he really liked that shop and couldn’t give up because of this embarrassment.

Chi Liu took a deep breath, wrapped himself in the quilt, and closed his eyes. He had to find a comfortable place to live nearby before going to Yingwang to sign the contract tomorrow.

When he completely fell into a sweet dream, he thought, I really hope that the man that night didn’t see his face clearly.
