With Xu Zhenshu leading the way, the aunties patrolling at the door, though their eyes were fierce, did not obstruct them much.

After all, Su Lin kept his head down and looked obedient the whole time, looking like a "temporary laborer" that Xu Zhenshu had found. In addition, the little girl next to him was pretty and had a lovely smile on her face, which made it easy to soften one's heart.

Without any obstacles, Su Lin followed Xu Zhenshu straight into the courtyard, blocking the longing and envious gazes of the many male disciples behind him.

As soon as he entered, the aroma of the shop wafted into his nostrils. It seemed that every corner of the air was filled with the fragrance of a young woman, which made Su Lin frown.

While these body odors are subtle and pleasant, they can also impair the sense of smell.

"Alright, where are you going? Is it somewhere important?"

Xu Zhenshu looked at Su Lin, who didn't hide anything. Recalling the direction of the low-income assistance recorded on the map, Su Lin pointed and said, "It's roughly in that area."

"Oh, the laundry house? Then go ahead."

Xu Zhenshu smiled and nodded: "Senior sister won't be coming along, she has important matters to attend to... Oh, right, take this token."

Xu Zhenshu handed over a small, exquisite wooden plaque and explained, "If anyone asks about you, you can show it to them and say that you came to do something for me."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Su Lin took a deep breath and revealed a sunny smile, radiating youthful energy.

Xu Zhenshu's eyes were slightly dazed, but she quickly regained her composure, smiled, and turned to leave: "Wait for me here after you've finished your business. Don't wander around or look around, or your senior sister won't be able to help you."

"I've got it."

Su Lin nodded, watching Xu Shijie's beautiful figure disappear from sight.

"Big brother... snap out of it..."

Xiao Linlin tugged at Su Lin's sleeve and whispered, "Are you really serious? Do you like this one?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

Su Lin frowned and led Xiao Linlin to the welfare office. Xiao Linlin covered her mouth and laughed, "I think Xu Zhenshu is very nice. She has a plump and beautiful figure, and her body looks like she's very fertile. She's very popular with elders."

Xiao Linlin abruptly changed the subject, sighing, "Ah, it's such a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

Su Lin looked puzzled, and Xiao Linlin smiled slyly: "Of course it's a pity she's not a follower! Otherwise, she could be recruited into the dormitory, and big brother could enjoy life!"

"Your head is probably going to grow crooked."

Su Lin shook his head. It was just a game; who had time to care about romance?

As the two talked, Su Lin quickly arrived at the laundry building. Pushing open the small courtyard door, he saw colorful clothes fluttering in the wind, and the fragrance in the air was even stronger. Su Lin couldn't help but frown.

Several female disciples who were washing clothes in the courtyard looked up at Su Lin with a mixture of wariness and surprise: "How did you get in!"

"I'm here on business, I need to find something."

Su Lin took out the token, and the female disciples took it and examined it carefully. They nodded in sudden realization, "Senior brother, please make yourself at home."

They didn't make things difficult for Su Lin, but as soon as Su Lin entered the courtyard, he could feel the playful gazes coming from all directions. The female disciples in the courtyard were all spying on him, whispering to each other, and occasionally giggling.

Su Lin's cultivation technique was extraordinary, so he was naturally able to hear these whispers, the contents of which were somewhat indecent.

"Women's words can be even more savage than men's."

Su Lin shook his head inwardly, calmed himself down, and strode quickly toward the low-income assistance office.

Hidden beneath the many clothes drying in the sun is a well in an inner courtyard, emitting a faint light.

Su Lin didn't need to jump in; he just approached and touched the well opening when a prompt appeared before his eyes.

[New supply point discovered! Searching in progress...]

The search itself didn't last long, only about two or three minutes.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the "Beauty Mirror - Red Collectible"!]

Su Lin now held a small bronze mirror in his hand, emitting a red light; it was worth 500,000 resource coins.

"The price isn't cheap."

Su Lin shook his head. This basic living allowance wasn't a big surprise, but it was still a tangible benefit.

"Big brother is really picky about food."

Xiao Linlin noticed Su Lin's indifferent expression and muttered, "Ordinary players would be overjoyed to find a red collectible, but big brother thinks it's nothing special."

"There's nothing I can do about it; after all, he's the richest person in the entire game."

Su Lin was in a good mood and jokingly teased Xiao Linlin.

To avoid giving himself away, Su Lin paced around the area, pretending to search carefully, and also searched the other containers in the courtyard.

To be honest, the drop rate for ordinary containers in this courtyard is pretty good; they all give purple quality items, and I haven't seen a single blue one.

"Could it be that this resource area is relatively difficult to enter, so the output rate of ordinary supplies is quite good?"

Su Lin pondered for a moment, and seeing that it was almost time, he led Xiao Linlin back.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Xu Zhenshu standing there, looking quite pretty, already waiting for him.

"Junior brother, have you found that item?"

"Found it!"

Xiao Linlin answered proactively, holding up the game map in her hand: "This is a map of geographical anecdotes. That person's father was a chivalrous knight in his early years, specializing in repairing maps for officials!"

"oh?"

Xu Zhenshu smiled as he took it, examined it carefully, and then returned it.

The NPCs couldn't see anything unusual about the game mechanics and items; to them, the map was just an ordinary thing.

"That's fine then, let's go."

Xu Zhenshu seemed to have other important matters to attend to, and before he could have a proper conversation with Su Lin, he hurriedly led Su Lin away from the female disciples' quarters area and then left with his entourage.
