"Your husband is so handsome he could bloom; any living thing would be attracted to you."

"Alright..." Shi Jinzhe couldn't listen to this anymore. He covered Shehe's mouth and begged her to stop. "Talking all day is too tiring, let's stop here. Are you thirsty? Have some water?"

Shekh shook his head and pulled his hand away. "I can still talk."

"I'm not going to say anymore, I'm already appeased." If I keep talking, he'll become desensitized to sweet talk.

"Then I really won't say anything more. It won't work if you cry again next time," Shekh reminded him, trying to avoid another painful experience.

Shi Jinzhe verbally agreed, but in his heart he thought he would try a different method next time.

“No other way will work either.” Shekh’s words shattered his illusions.

"...You can't just say what's on my mind just because you live in my heart."

"You stop too." Sheh didn't want to argue with him. The procession was over, and they didn't go back to the Snake King Temple with the group. She hooked her arm around Shi Jinzhe's and walked towards the street with the food.

"Are we still going to watch the dragon boat race this afternoon?"

"Do you want to go see?" Shi Jinzhe turned around and happened to catch a glimpse of Sister Liang being surrounded by a crowd not far away.

Shekh saw it too, "Her snake was very conspicuous, everyone was going for the snake."

Later tourists missed out on so much; they didn't see much during the parade and just waited for the main group. Sister Liang's snake was well-cared for and attracted more attention than the colorful python in the glass enclosure; everyone was interested in it.

Sister Liang looked over the crowd and nodded to the two people in greeting, but soon, a curious tourist brought her back to her senses.

The crowd chattered. Sister Liang wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Shi Jinzhe and Shehe nodded and walked away.

Sister Liang clicked her tongue in annoyance; why were there so many tourists this year?

Suddenly, she was hit hard on the shoulder. Fearing that the snake on her body would be frightened, Sister Liang immediately protected the snake's head to prevent it from being startled and attacking her.

By the time she regained control of her snake, the person who had bumped into her was nowhere to be seen. Sister Liang looked around but couldn't find anyone.

"That's so rude."

She carried the snake to her car and decided to drive home early to prevent any further uncontrollable events.

In the afternoon, Shi Jinzhe and Shehe finished lunch and went to watch the dragon boat race.

Shekh: "I thought this was only done during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Shi Jinzhe felt sleepy, so he pinched his forehead a couple of times to relieve the drowsiness. "Let's liven things up, I don't really know much about it."

"Let's go back. There's a live snake show tonight. Rest for the afternoon and come back later."

"Stay if you want to see it, I just didn't sleep all night." This is a common occurrence in games.

"Let's go back." Sheh was indeed not tired. She had been full of energy since the Snake King's procession began. Influenced by her faith, she felt she could stay up for three days and three nights.

But she can, but Shi Jinzhe can't. Nobody here believes in a tree. If he wants to cheer himself up, he has to use his skills on himself.

Shehra pulled Shi Jinzhai back, saying, "Let's go back and get some sleep."

Shi Jinzhe joked, "My wife loves me so much."

"I can make you die of pain, do you want that?"

"It's the same, they just love me anyway."

Shekh admired his self-comforting mechanism and gradually moved away from the riverbank.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned around in the opposite direction. There were two people whispering, and she heard the words "transfer greeting card".

At the same time, Sister Liang parked at the highway rest area to periodically check on the snake's condition.

She opened the car door and got out, and a black greeting card with gold foil stamping fell to the ground.

The card looks very expensive, with a string of gold numbers on the cover.

Sister Liang picked it up and opened it. [Dear Liang Fengzhi, congratulations on binding your game account with the account number [number missing]. Please prepare to enter the game for the first time tonight at 8 PM.]

"What the hell is this? It's so cringey."

The three characters "Liang Fengzhi" were blood-red, which looked inexplicably frightening and gave people a sense of bad luck at first glance.

Sister Liang threw the card into the trash can. Perhaps it was a prank by someone who disliked her. She didn't take it seriously and drove off again.

The black-and-gold card that fell into the trash can melted away in a pile of waste, disappearing without a trace.

Then, an invisible force appeared, and the phone screen on the passenger seat lit up, automatically downloading a survival game app.

Unbeknownst to Sister Liang, besides the automatically downloaded app, another force, after finding her, headed straight for the Forest King Serpent in the back seat compartment. After searching the serpent's body for a while, the unknown force finally found a trace of the aura it wanted.

"Why is it suddenly so cold?"

Ms. Liang, who was in the driver's seat, felt cold without realizing it and turned up the air conditioning temperature.

...

"Aren't you feeling a little cold?"

The person being stared at by Shekh shrugged and whispered to his companion, "Senior, it's been more than two hours. Does that mean the greeting card has been successfully delivered?"

"It's a success. Don't worry, you're out of the picture."

"Thank you so much. You really know how to come up with a plan. You knew that woman couldn't find me, so you told me to bump into her and stick the card on her bag. Sigh, I guess she can only blame herself for being too attention-seeking."

"Oh, it's nothing."

The person who answered the call made a counting motion with his fingers, and another person gave him five hundred yuan. After receiving the money, the person turned around and quickly left.

Sheh relayed the exact words to Shi Jinzhe: "Five hundred dollars, two lives."

Shi Jinzhe said, "I'll buy peace of mind for five hundred. Although the greeting card appears out of nowhere, the person who gives the money may not really believe it. I guess he's giving the money because he thinks he'll lose money to avoid trouble."

And the person who made the move...

The mechanism to recover money from players who have evaded their commitments has been in place for quite some time. If someone knows this and still tries to scam money like this, then they are truly wicked to the extreme.

Shi Jinzhe was unsure whether the system was harboring resentment towards him and Shekh. After he used Shekh to threaten the system and lodge a strong protest, it became extremely difficult for the escaped players to enter the game instance each time they were caught.

He had seen many veteran players complaining on the forum about encountering players who would dodge dungeons and drag him down. The posts were full of C language code.

After a lot of criticism, players developed an unwritten rule.

That is, if there are players who try to escape from a dungeon, that dungeon will definitely be difficult.

"This game is terrible. It still can't fix such a huge bug."

Because of the current situation, Shekh sometimes feels that cheaters are mostly innocent victims, thinking, "This card can be given away so easily, the system is really useless."

“I don’t know how he gave it to me, but when Cheng You’an gave it to me, it was supposed to be handed over in person. According to you, it was considered a handover if the card was pasted on. This is…” Shi Jinzhe’s expression was not good. He said seriously, “This is because the system loophole has become more serious.”
