Shi Jinzhe often felt that the night was not as long as Sher's tail.

It was so short, it passed in the blink of an eye.

He thought she wouldn't get up early, but he underestimated Sheikh's obsession with the big house.

At six o'clock in the morning, he felt like he hadn't slept long before being woken up by someone watching him.

When Schech told her that she would have to wait at least two more hours to see the house, she cleverly used the analogy, saying, "You're rich, aren't you? Throw in the money!"

"..." Shi Jinzhe pulled his phone out from under his pillow. "You're right, I'll add the money."

At 6:30 a.m., the two got ready and left.

Shekh took the freshly made breakfast from the chef and sat in the car to eat it.

I visited six different locations in a single day.

Ultimately, Sheikh's favorite place was a detached house on an artificial island.

The entire artificial island has only this one big house. The surrounding area is sparsely populated, very quiet, and the environment is good. She also likes the architectural style.

Aside from being expensive, it has no flaws.

Shi Jinzhe reserved this house, and even though he hadn't paid, the other party's attitude was very good.

Shekh asked, "Aren't they afraid you won't pay them?"

If you don't pay, it's still just a pancake.

"Don't worry, no one but the two of us will buy this house."

Shi Jinzhe got off the bus halfway and told the driver to go back first, while he and Shehe slowly walked back.

"Although the house is in a remote location, the price is what it is. People who can afford it are unlikely to choose this house; they have more suitable options."

Artificial islands are likely to be teeming with mosquitoes in the summer. While they are quiet, they are also extremely remote.

Unlike the Cheng family's area, the detached houses there, though far apart, are fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. Apart from the noise and unwanted people, they have everything you need.

Here, there's nothing but lush flowers and plants, beautiful architecture, and butterflies and birds every few steps as soon as you arrive on the island—the ecological environment is simply amazing.

Shekh: "I think it's great, it's big and quiet."

She encountered a rat snake while walking along the path in the afternoon, and saw a rat snake on a tree branch when she reached the backyard.

There's no need to go through the hassle of finding someone to get a permit; there are snakes right here, making it a perfect place for her to live.

Shi Jinzhe: "If you like it, that's fine. They know about my relationship with the Cheng family, so they'll keep this house for me. Don't worry."

Speaking of the Cheng family, Sheh remembered something else, “I heard them say that rich people divide their property in advance. Will that affect us? You are an adopted son, so it might be a bit difficult for you.”

"Don't worry, the adoption relationship between the Cheng family and me was terminated by agreement, and it was done in writing."

Shi Jinzhe had already considered this issue and explained it to Sheh:

“I left the Cheng family because they wanted me to. I took the initiative to do so. At that time, I hadn’t entered the game yet, and my relationship with Cheng Yun hadn’t completely soured. So the termination agreement wasn’t notarized by the civil affairs department. Legally, he and I are still in a father-son relationship.”

Cheng Yun kept Cheng You'an because of Qiao Huiyun; he didn't mention going to notarize it, so he didn't say anything himself.

If it weren't for the willow branches, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact the Cheng family again. Whether the agreement was terminated or not, he wouldn't have come back.

"I only changed my name on the household registration book. I am still his adopted son. As for the division of property you mentioned, he will not give Qiao Huiyun much. When they got married, the Qiao family had already declined and didn't have much money. All of this is Cheng Yun's personal property now."

Shekh then asked, "What about Qiao Huiyun? How are you going to resolve this?"

"I don't need to solve it; she doesn't have many days left to live."

Shi Jinzhe reached out and touched a branch by the roadside; the tender green buds swayed upwards a little.

Shekh looked at the green leaf and said, "The changes are more obvious than before."

“Yes, I can draw energy in small amounts in the real world without bleeding.” He leaned closer to Shekh. “So this evolution of mine is quite useful, right?”

Shekh saw through his thoughts: "It's not evolution, it's advancement."

“There’s no need to say such lighthearted things now.” Shi Jin turned back to the main topic: “Qiao Huiyun’s mental state has improved significantly since I came back. Once she can recognize all people and regains her senses, her life will be over.”

"Is it because of Cheng Youan's death?"

"Yes, she definitely can't accept the outcome of Cheng Youan going crazy and jumping off the building. Being sober would only worsen her condition."

Shi Jinzhe said, "Qiao Huiyun has an obsession with Cheng Youan. This son is her spiritual pillar. Given her psychological capacity, the taste of gaining and then losing will inevitably lead her to take her own life. After her spouse dies, I will be Cheng Yun's legal first-in-line heir."

"As for the division of property, there's no rush. No matter what, I'll have a large sum of money. With that capital, I can compete for what's left and make money from money. So don't worry, I can definitely support you."

Shekh didn't understand these procedures, but Shi Jinzhe spoke with great confidence, so it should be feasible.

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

"Wait for Meng Chengxi's arrangements. I'll use Mom's information to lure people over, and you can force Cheng Yun to hand over the greeting card to the death row inmate."

"That will be soon." Shekh looked at the Cheng family's gate. "I wonder what the dungeon will be today. I hope it will be short."

Shi Jinzhe thought the same thing: "I hope so."

8 PM.

The two finished getting ready and sat in the room waiting for the dungeon to start.

But an hour passed and there was still no response from anyone wanting to go in.

"System?" Shech tapped his fingers on the table. "Hurry up and create copies, don't waste my time."

[…It'll be here soon.]

As a result of that "almost there," another three hours passed, and Shekh had already finished a late-night snack.

"Is it not going to let you into the game today?"

"Sometimes the schedule gets messed up, just wait a bit longer. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll hold your hand, you won't get lost."

Just as Shi Jinzhe finished speaking, a suction force appeared behind him.

"...What I said came true. I should have said so sooner."

Shi Jinzhe grabbed Shehe's hand, and the two entered the instance together.

After walking for half an hour, just as they entered the instance area, they encountered an unexpected person.

It's Jiang Yu from the "Find the Bomb" instance.

She had a stern, ladylike face, but her expression was one of impatience, as if she were suppressing some kind of anger. Beside her was a swirling black vortex.

"Four and a half hours? I'd like to see which brat is only now gathering in the instance. Is the spawn point in outer space? They're only just landing... Hey~"

Jiang's resentful complaints turned into a friendly greeting the moment he saw Sheh.

How come I ran into those two again, especially this snake woman!

After Jiang Yinxue fought with her last time, she refused to come out again no matter how much she begged, fearing that she would be tricked by her again. She was so worried.

I finally managed to persuade him to come out of the dungeon for a speedrun, but then I ran into her again!

Shekh looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with four and a half hours?"

"It's nothing." Jiang sat down very politely. "Please begin the dungeon."

Jiang Yinxue walked out of the vortex with a blank expression, not wanting to stay there for even a second longer.

A woman's mouth is a deceitful devil.

Jiang Zi handed him a cup of tea and whispered, "Brother Zu, since neither of us wants to meet her, you should hurry up and summon a ghost."

Shekh heard this and told Shi Jinzhe to hurry up and communicate.

So Shi Jinzhe wasn't in a hurry to leave. He just stood there watching Jiang Yinxue summon ghosts, thinking, "Maybe we can get some points this round."

Jiang Yu didn't say anything. There was no grudge in this game, so she could just watch. Anyway, she couldn't beat them, so there was nothing she could do.

An hour later, Shi Jinzhe witnessed a bizarre scene: a group of female ghosts, their eyes filled with tears and their cheeks flushed, tearfully recounting the truth of the incident to Jiang Yinxue.

He listened to the instructions and immediately cleared the level, earning 30 points for free. It was arguably the easiest dungeon he had ever cleared.
