Within the Apocalypse World, two beams of white light flashed, and a second before the white light shone, Yu Xiaoan, sitting behind the bar, had a complicated expression.

"Boss, I'll be on time today!" Jiang Yuan emerged from the wine cellar with a beaming smile.

"Give me a drink!"

At the same time, Liu Zhaodi, whose voice preceded her arrival, slowly walked in, giving Jiang Yuan a playful wink as she entered.

"You two have shown up at the same time for three consecutive days!" Yu Xiaoan felt it was necessary to say something. These two were showing off their affection in her bar, and she was about to call the police.

"Really?" Jiang Yuan asked suspiciously.

“I’ve memorized the birthplace of everyone in this city. Do you think you can hide it from me?” Yu Xiaoan said irritably.

"What a coincidence!" Jiang Yuan asked knowingly.

"You guys aren't going to have a real-life offline battle, are you?!" Yu Xiaoan suddenly asked.

Liu Zhaodi: "..."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"Foolish humans, your minds are full of desires!" Yu Xiaoan even cursed herself when she got angry, because she was the same way. And the most important thing was that Jiang Yuan, that bastard, had taught her how to control her desires before, but now, she had fallen for them first.

"Boss, why are there so few people today?" Jiang Yuan looked around and realized there wasn't a single customer.

"It's all your fault! Ever since you achieved your hundred-win streak, a bunch of genius powerhouses who appeared out of nowhere have started racking up battle records to try and get the Supreme Rule Fragment! Now, everyone's been drawn to watch, so who's going to patronize my little shop anymore!" Yu Xiaoan complained.

"That's great! Does that mean I have to rest again today?" Jiang Yuan looked troubled, but he was secretly overjoyed.

"That's right, I can't let you get too tired. I don't want my drink either!" Liu Zhaodi cleverly returned the drink. She only ordered one drink, but her husband would have to make another one, which was too tiring for him.

Yu Xiaoan was so angry that her teeth ached from clenching them; these two were more capable of infuriating people than they were talented.

"Boss, can I borrow your teleportation array?" Jiang Yuan called out.

He dared not go out, because too many people wanted to seize his Supreme Rule Fragment. Going out would risk being killed by the Apocalypse World, including many Xuan-level experts. After all, obtaining a Supreme Rule Fragment was worth restarting the game.

"No way!" Yu Xiaoan, contrary to her usual self, angrily refused.

"Little sister, can I borrow you for a second? I came with you today!" Liu Zhaodi didn't intend to hide her relationship with Jiang Yuan in the Apocalypse World. Here, everyone is a mystery. So what if they are a couple? Who can tell?

Yu Xiaoan was furious with Liu Zhaodi's coquettish behavior. They had agreed to teach the scumbag a lesson together, but she never expected that he would betray her under the influence of sweet words.

"4399, enter the teleportation array! I have her array key!" Liu Zhaodi happily shook the crystal in her hand.

"This isn't right!" Jiang Yuan really didn't expect Liu Zhaodi to have such a good relationship with this NPC.

"It's alright, the boss is very generous!" Liu Zhaodi jumped onto the formation first, then called out to Jiang Yuan.

"cut!"

Yu Xiaoan snorted softly, then turned and walked towards the underground wine cellar. She really couldn't stand the two of them showing off their affection like this, so she decided to avoid them.

Jiang Yuan watched Yu Xiaoan disappear before stepping onto the teleportation array. He muttered to himself, "Strange, why do I feel like the boss isn't an NPC? This is too human-like!"

Yu Xiaoan's behavior made her seem no different from someone with some flesh on their bones, and even he began to doubt her identity.

"Don't even think about it! Everyone says the boss is an NPC, don't you believe it?"

Liu Zhaodi activated the formation and quickly disappeared with Jiang Yuan.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe you don't remember me!"

Hiding in the wine cellar, Yu Xiaoan said indignantly that she had already heard Jiang Yuan tell five stories: the first was about his parents, the second about his unrequited first love, the third about Liu Zhaodi, the fourth about Bu Yao, and the fifth about Xiao Xiao. Although these five people were all within her expectations, it was still quite unexpected that he deliberately concealed everything about Ning Yanlan.

"I can only accept tenth place at the very least. If you dare to put me below tenth, I'll break your bones!"

Yu Xiaoan punched a rag doll repeatedly. Upon closer inspection, the rag doll bore a faint resemblance to Jiang Yuan.

...

"Look, it's Blood Rose and Death 4399!"

The two were spotted as soon as they arrived, but Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi were clearly prepared. When they teleported to their landing point, Jiang Yuan jumped directly onto a ring, because only on the ring could they avoid being ganged up on.

Liu Zhaodi, on the other hand, didn't have so much to do; she simply sat quietly by the ring.

"Defend the arena to the death, the prize is 163,000 fragments of artistic conception!"

Jiang Yuan accepted the challenge again, but this time the reward for winning against him was terrifying: 163,000 fragments of artistic conception. This number might be something a Yellow-rank cultivator could only accumulate in a lifetime, but here, it was just for winning a match against someone on the arena.

Even though Jiang Yuan offered a huge prize, apart from the people on the arena list he specifically named, everyone else looked at him with fear. This was no prize at all; it was a trap to harvest other people's spiritual energy.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food, I'll add another fragment of the supreme rule!"

Jiang Yuan flicked his finger, and a palm-sized green fragment flew onto the gong and drum. The sound of it reverberated for a radius of a thousand meters, which was enough to prove the weight of a fragment of supreme rules.

When the fragments of the rules fell, the once quiet crowd erupted into a cacophony of voices once more.
