666 was not a child who would throw a tantrum after all. When Lu Cai said no, he turned his eyes away from the page.

Seeing him like this, Lu Cai suddenly had an idea: "I'll braid a four-strand bracelet for you—"

666, who was standing by, looked up at her, seemingly not understanding what a "four-strand bracelet" was.

Cai Lu didn't explain. Pretending to be sophisticated, she picked out two long and two short red ropes, tied them together at the top, and had 666 hold them. She picked out the two short ones as the center rope, and placed the two long ones on top of the short ones, braiding them left and right.

Occasionally, someone passed by outside the shop, but the interior was completely silent. Two people sat behind the counter. The one in the red cloak stared intently at the red rope, while the one in the black cloak swung his hands, pulling at the rope.

After a long time, the door of the studio behind him was pushed open. Jiang Yan walked out of the door and saw two figures with their heads approaching each other.

"Oh, you have this skill?" Jiang Yan walked over, stood beside the counter, and looked at it with his head tilted.

Cai Lu continued to move her hands: "When I was in school, I often made bracelets to appease my sister..." She stopped moving her hands.

younger sister.

From the time she awakened until now, she had read Zhao Manman's memories and had always known that Zhao Manman was her sister.

But to her, those memories were like watching a movie or reading a story. She would sigh with emotion about the plot of the book, but she could not empathize with it.

But just now, she actually said the three words "my sister" so easily.

His mouth opened and closed as if it were instinct.

Lu Cai lowered her eyes, thinking of the cycles of reincarnation in the replica world. When did those cycles begin, and where would they end?

If the starting point is the disaster, then her character trajectory should have started from the day she awakened, but why does she still have these habits?

She said nothing and stopped moving. 666, who was standing opposite her, seemed puzzled and looked up at her, only to see her dark eyes staring blankly.

"You have a younger sister?" Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat. When people mentioned their brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but think of his own damned bastard brother.

Lu Cai was awakened by his question, and his hands resumed the action of braiding the bracelet, and he nodded lightly.

Seeing her face full of sorrow, Jiang Yan did not ask any further questions. He did not know the setting mechanism of the NPC, but judging from her appearance, those character memories were not good memories. Why should he expose other people's scars?

After a while, the four strands of bracelet in Lu Cai's hand were woven. The wide and flat surface of the rope looked extremely thick and clumsy.

She let 666 loosen his grip, then pinched the bracelet and shook it, tying the ropes at the ends to create a retractable bracelet. The rope was a bit thick, so it looked a bit bulky.

"Does it look good?" Lu Cai smiled and waved it in front of 666 as if showing off.

666 looked at the bracelet, then shifted his gaze to her smiling face and nodded.

"Put your hand out." She smiled and held the bracelet in both hands and handed it over.

666's eyebrows were gentle, and his eyes were clear. He looked up at Lu Cai, without any intention of fighting or killing. He raised his hand woodenly, and then watched Lu Cai tie the bracelet around his wrist.

It was not noticeable during normal fights, but now that Lu Cai's hand was close to it, the breadth of his palm was revealed, as if it could wrap around Lu Cai's fist with just a slight movement.

Her bony fingers were slightly bent, her wrists raised, and she obediently followed Lu Cai's movements.

"Okay." Cai Lu fixed the rope buckle and let go with satisfaction.

Jiang Yan on the side stretched his head to look over, his eyes fell on the bracelet, his eyes bright and sharp: "You fixed it!" He pointed at the bracelet.

Lu Cai tilted his head in confusion: "What's fixed?"

When Jiang Yan saw her expression, he knew that she had no idea what the red rope was used for. He was about to say something, but then he thought of something and started to smile maliciously.

Cai Lu frowned, knowing that he was deliberately keeping it a secret, but still worried.

"This is a red string—" Jiang Yan continued to smile, "Have you heard of the saying 'A thousand miles of love is tied by a thread'?"

He thought that Lu Cai would blush or look helpless at the implication in these words, but who knew that Lu Cai's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

"Can this red rope be used for bidirectional positioning?" She picked up the three remaining red ropes on the table with great curiosity.

A thousand miles of love are connected by a red thread. If we understand it literally, even if you are thousands of miles apart, you will be close to each other because of this red thread.

If we change the order, a red rope will allow people thousands of miles apart to meet each other. Isn’t this two-way positioning?

"You said I fixed it?" Lu Cai muttered to himself. What did she do? Oh, she probed her supernatural power in.

With a guess, she gathered her supernatural energy and injected it into it. After the supernatural energy circulated in the red rope for a circle, she did not notice anything unusual.

Lu Cai picked up the red string and swung it in front of Jiang Yan's eyes: "Is this okay?"

Jiang Yan suppressed the excitement in his eyes and reached out to take the red rope. He examined it carefully, then looked up at Lu Cai and said, "This red rope is indeed usable..."

In fact, he felt a little jealous. His special ability was repair power, which was similar to healing power. However, healing power was effective on living things, while repair power was used on non-living things.

Even so, there are dying people who cannot be saved by healing power, and there are also props that cannot be repaired by repair power.

But Lu Cai repaired this long-abandoned positioning red rope. After years of research and collection, he was almost certain that this red rope was an ancient prop, an antique, and it was possible that these ropes were out of print.

Lu Cai originally didn't think that repairing the red rope was a big deal, but after seeing Jiang Yan's reaction, he became less sure.

This red rope...is it some kind of powerful treasure?

If it is a treasure, would it be difficult to pull it from his hands?

Not long ago, I was thinking that 666 didn't have a system and was difficult to contact. Now that she has picked up this prop, Cai Lu will definitely not let it go.

She hesitated for a moment and picked up a red rope: "With so many red ropes, how do I know which person the red rope I'm locating belongs to?"

Jiang Yan liked to discuss props with others. Seeing that she was humbly seeking advice, he patiently said, "This red rope must be tied in pairs before it can be used. This pair does not refer to two ropes. For example, the bracelet you just made has four ropes in total. When you weave them together, it counts as one rope, but it is thicker, so the sensitivity to it will be stronger..."

Cai Lu listened patiently to Jiang Yan's explanation, occasionally asking a few questions. 666, who was standing by, didn't have any doubts, but just listened to the conversation quietly with a blank expression.

Jiang Yan talked for a long time and finally stopped to rest. Lu Cai took the opportunity to ask, "How do you tie them up in pairs?"

As soon as this question was asked, Jiang Yan's expression changed. He glanced at Lu Cai, as if he could see through her thoughts at once.

"This is my rope, do you want to take it?" Jiang Yan's tone turned cold.

Lu Cai was also used to being shameless: "After all, I fixed it, so I have to ask for some labor fees."

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows. Judging from the situation, she was planning to leave him a few red ropes?

"How much do you want to take?" She had made the bracelet, and Jiang Yan guessed that she would not leave the bracelet in the store.

As expected, Lu Cai pointed to the bracelet already hanging on 666's wrist and said, "I want to take this."

Jiang Yan sneered and said nothing, but he saw Lu Cai lower his head and pull out one of the three remaining red ropes.

She said shamelessly, "Give me another one to make a pair with his bracelet."

"Just leave two for me?" Jiang Yan had never seen such a shameless person.

Lu Cai was also helpless: "I didn't know the use of this red string at first. When I saw you showing it to 666 to play with, I thought it was a worthless thing. When the bracelet was finished, you said it was a positioning red string, and I was also at a loss -"

Jiang Yan: "Are you blaming me for this?"

"Blame me!" Lu Cai was obsessed with plucking the red ropes, and his tone was rare and friendly. "Blame me for not asking clearly, but--" She changed the subject, "If it weren't for me, wouldn't these red ropes continue to be buried? I'll keep two now. If these two are tied together, they will also be rare in the market, right? Scarcity makes things valuable..."

Only when the quantity is small can we sell it at a good price.

Seeing that she looked like she was thinking about him, Jiang Yan almost believed it, so he found it funny. With such eloquence, she should come to the 6th floor to do business, why be a gatekeeper?

When Lu Cai saw his expression relaxed, he knew that this matter could be accomplished, so he hurried to make further efforts. The two of them talked back and forth for a long time and finally decided on the conditions.

In the end, Lu Cai agreed to cooperate with Jiang Yan's experiment and carry the three small props he selected on his body. They were not allowed to be hidden in the system card slot. They could be used in emergencies in the copy, but they must not be lost.

Lu Cai guessed that he saw her props being upgraded one by one, suspected that the problem was with her, and wanted to use the props to test it.

It just so happened that she also wanted to know more about herself, so she agreed without much hesitation.

As for which three props to bring, Jiang Yan started to have a headache again and continued to immerse himself in the studio.

——

For the next two days, they stayed in "No. 12", and Lu Cai got news from the outside world through group chat.

Qin Yu said that the 13th floor has been very quiet these days and there has been no major movement.

Lu Cai only asked them to help him keep an eye on the news on the 13th floor, not saying he had ever been inside. Some things they knew in their hearts, but they didn't point them out.

Only if we don't interfere with each other can we go far as friends.

[Yue Xiaoyan: Mr. Lu, last time you said you could earn points by completing dungeons, does that still count?]

[Lu Cai: It counts. I’ve been thinking about how to get the word out lately…]

In any case, we cannot publicize it in the community on a large scale. This is like asking the scavengers to come and catch us.

[Yue Xiaoyan: I'll be your first client! (/Dignified raises hand)]

[Zhao Yan: I'm obviously the first customer, and I paid points last time.]

[Yue Xiaoyan: In the last hospital instance, Lu Cai's project hadn't even been established yet!]

The two began to argue about random things, and when it seemed like the argument was almost over, they returned to the topic.

[Yue Xiaoyan: Mr. Lu, come with me on the first trip! We can promote it in the dungeon!]

Lu Cai thought what she said made sense, so she agreed. She set a time and closed the system interface. She turned to look at 666 who was reading a book beside her.

"We're going to do a dungeon, this time to make money!"

As soon as Lu Cai opened his mouth, 666 shifted his attention from the book and turned his head to meet Lu Cai's smiling eyes.

The author has something to say:

One more update, and more.
