Alright, now she understands. The strangeness of the dungeon means that she can't reveal any secrets about it.

It seems there's no chance of finding out anything in advance from Lingxi.

After seeing Lingxi off, Yan Qing was caught in a dilemma: should she go to the "bowing to heaven and earth" ceremony or not?

To be honest, Lingxi was quite satisfactory as a maid. She was gentle and shy, didn't talk much, but had excellent cooking skills. More importantly, she was clever but had no bad intentions.

As a maid, she was undoubtedly very successful.

After struggling with this for several days, Yan Qing suddenly received a summons from her older brother.

"You brat, where have you been all this time?!" Yan Che's roar was as deafening as ever, and his tone revealed his deep concern.

"No, I've been in the dungeon the whole time, and I only came out a few days ago."

"What? You just came out of a dungeon?" Yan Che didn't believe it. "You brat, you didn't get eaten by some monster in the dungeon, did you?"

"Tch!" Yan Qing was absolutely merciless when she retorted to her brother. "What a pity, not only did I not lose any limbs, I also made a fortune! As soon as I came out of the dungeon, I bought a safe house. Want to come and take a look?"

"Damn it!" Yan Che hung up the phone in a huff.

Yan Qing wisely sent him the villa's address, and two hours later, Brother Yan made a dazzling appearance, looking disheveled.

"Holy crap! Who did you rob? How did you suddenly become so rich?!"

Yan Che's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets. This villa was the latest trendy high-end Chinese-style villa. Even the lampposts at the entrance were made of century-old mahogany; the interior must be incredible!

"Girl, are you sure this villa isn't rented by you?" Don't blame him for not believing his sister; even the Yan family couldn't have been this rich in eight hundred years!

A golden property certificate suddenly appeared in front of him. Yan Che checked the name on it and realized that it really was his sister. He was completely stunned.

"Is this world some kind of fantasy? Girl, how did you become rich overnight?" Yan Che immediately put on a drooling look. "Since you're so rich, how about giving me some spirit coins?"

Yan Qing looked at her own brother's cowardly appearance and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

“Tell me your bank card number from the Universal Bank, and I’ll transfer some spirit coins to you.”

Yan Che respectfully presented his bank card number.

One minute later.

Yan Che's mouth formed an "O" shape as he looked at the row of densely packed zeros in his bank card, feeling a little dizzy.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand... million, ten million, hundred million, billion—my goodness, girl, you actually gave me a whopping eight billion! Oh my god, I can't take it!"

Even Yan Che, a seasoned business elite, was completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of spirit coins. Out of caution, he asked one more question.

"Girl, are you sure one of your dungeon quests isn't about robbing a bank?"

Yan Qing was completely convinced. This person was definitely not her biological brother; she didn't know this clown at all.

"Nonsense, of course I earned it through my own abilities, but you don't need to be envious."

Yan Che immediately slid down to his knees, "Big brother, please carry me to the next dungeon! You have no idea how badly I was bullied in the previous dungeon."

Yan Qing stared at his wrinkled clothes, quite certain. It seemed that even her brother, a financial elite, wasn't having an easy time after the apocalypse.

After all, all his wealth turned into worthless paper overnight, so it's already quite remarkable that he was able to pick himself up again.

However, she remembered reminding her brother not to go out, so the first instance she entered must have been "Happy Home".

That dungeon is arguably the easiest dungeon for most players.

"Brother, was your first instance 'Happy Home'?"

Yan Qing looked up and met a face full of resentment.

"No, I just went downstairs to pick up a package, and before I even got home, I was pulled into the 'Silver Sky Building' instance. My brother almost got swallowed whole by some monster inside!"

Yan Che recalled the experience with lingering fear, "That dungeon was a two-player dungeon. I was tricked by my female partner and almost died inside. I struggled for seven days before finally finding a chance to escape."

What? Is that true?

Yan Qing also got angry, "Brother, do you still remember the name of that woman who tricked you?"

Yan Che smirked. "Don't worry, I'd recognize her even if you stripped her to ashes. She's a student at S University, and supposedly quite famous. Her name is Wen Jiajia."

"What?! It's her!"

Well, is this Wen Jiajia here specifically to cause trouble for them? I almost couldn't get out because of her antics in Yongning Alley.

Who knew she had actually messed with her older brother before?!

"Alright, we've finally formed this grudge."

Yan Che looked at his sister's expression and realized she seemed to have some kind of grudge against Wen Jiajia. So he cautiously asked,

"What, she also cheated you?"

"You got it right." Yan Qing said with a forced smile, "Thanks to her, I almost got killed in the dungeon."

Yan Che instantly understood; compared to him, it seemed the girl had been tricked even more badly!

As a good older brother, he immediately objected, "No way, we have to teach her a lesson, otherwise—"

Before he could finish speaking, he received a sharp rap on the head.

"Otherwise what?" Yan Qing asked sinisterly. "This woman is no ordinary person; she has quite a few good items on her. Besides, she can forcibly leave the instance. Can you do that?"

Yan Che immediately deflated, "We can't just let her get away with this, can we?"

"Of course not, don't worry. I've learned my lesson. I've also prepared some special things to deal with her. Just wait and see."

What she said wasn't untrue; she had indeed acquired quite a few good items during this period. Among them were dungeon binding charms, which, once bound, had to remain inside the dungeon.

She still couldn't believe it; was this Wen Jiajia's system really that powerful?

Yan Che could tell what mischief she was up to just by looking at the sinister smile on his sister's face. But this time, he was firmly in support.

After that day, Yan Che naturally moved in. His sister's house was his house, and he couldn't wait to stay there forever.

As a financial elite, Yan Che had been struggling with a lack of spirit coins. Once he had the money, he immediately returned to his old ways. In just a few days, he made a fortune.

Yan Qing had also rested enough over the past few days. Since she could enter a dungeon anytime she went out in this world anyway, she figured she might as well choose one herself.

She'd figured it out in the last couple of days; Lingxi was indeed a rare and wonderful girl. Since that was the case, why not form a contract with her?
