Heaven

Everyone here looks normal and has a vibrant energy.

The sounds of hawking, laughing, joking, haggling, and chatting were a stark contrast to the quiet of the night.

Besides them, the local indigenous people also come to buy things, with the food stalls being the most crowded, but they didn't dare to step into them.

"Mr. Bai Yang, are you familiar with the Street Rules?"

Bai Yang glanced at An Ying: "You're making me sound old."

An Ying was speechless. "That's a respectful title, doesn't your organization use it?"

"What did you say? I don't understand." Bai Yang lowered his head and carefully selected the ribbons from the stall.

Knowing that the other party didn't want to explain explicitly, An Ying didn't press further and went along with him, saying, "I have the Street Rules here."

"Tao Yuan showed it to me." Bai Yang didn't want to say more. He asked the stall owner, "How much is this?"

He was holding a yellow bow in his hand.

The stall owner, a middle-aged man, enthusiastically introduced the product, "This one is made of good material and has a fashionable design. Many customers here like this style of bow..."

The stall owner was a chatterbox; once he asked a question, he would launch into a long tirade. Bai Yang focused on selecting items and asking about prices, An Ying listened attentively, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

For example:

"Really?"

"Business seems to be booming here; the stall owner really knows how to do business."

"Any other styles you'd recommend? The stall owner has excellent taste."

"The stall owner seems to have been here for a long time, while we're new here. Could you tell us about this place?"

An Ying wouldn't use as many tactful and flattering words as Qin Rang and the others, but she would still agree and praise him, and she wasn't shy about asking for information.

The stall owner was delighted by the compliments, and when he was happy, he couldn't stop talking.

"You've come to the right person. I've been here for over ten years, and I know some of the Rules better than the employees in Heaven."

"Heaven?" Tao Yuan and Qin Rang, who had stopped talking when the middle-aged man began, joined the conversation with curiosity upon hearing this. "What do you mean? Are you referring to that Gambling House?"

"Yes, it's an absolutely wonderful place! You'll never forget it once you've been there." The man lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, "But Heaven is only open at night. You're new here, haven't you been yet?"

The men honestly shook their heads.

They weren't the ones who played; they were the ones who were played.

The man gave a mysterious smile; his loose skin had a somewhat lewd look that made the group of people uncomfortable.

"You'll know once you've tried it. With a bit of luck, you can easily turn your life around in just one night! You can go from your current predicament to becoming one of those esteemed guests."

"There was a beggar who went in and gambled once, winning thousands of times his initial investment and becoming a multi-millionaire overnight! A few years ago, I personally saw an employee inside try his luck and win enough to buy Building One..."

Bai Yang interrupted the man's incessant chatter, his round face full of questions. "Then why haven't you become rich yet?"

Qin Rang covered his face and quickly pulled Bai Yang behind him.

The man was stung by Bai Yang's words; the smile on his face vanished visibly, and he snapped angrily, "What do you know! My luck just hasn't arrived yet! Great things come to those who wait, don't you understand, you little brat!"

Bai Yang poked his head out from behind Qin Rang, blinked his round eyes, and continued, "You're not young anymore. Where's your family? Why are you all alone? Are they all dead?"

Tao Yuan and the others:... This young man really doesn't know how to speak tactfully.

The boss's face turned pale with anger.

"The one you like is 300, no bargaining. You have to buy it after you've asked the price!"

"Nonsense, I was asking about the pink one over there, not the one I'm holding." Bai Yang wasn't fooled.

"You..."

"Boss, you can't force people to buy or sell in business, can you?" Qin Rang smiled, his eyes narrowing.

Seeing the stall owner's anger about to explode, Bai Yang suddenly pulled out ten Fama and slammed them on the table. "I can buy them if you want."

The stall owner's furious expression froze, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Fama. His expression turned fawning, his eyes fixed on Fama, and the muscles in his face twitched.

The group caught a glimpse of him counting the Fama one by one with an excessively absorbed smile, and a chill ran down their spines; something was clearly wrong.

They were acting like they wanted to eat them up just a moment ago, their expressions changed way too quickly.

"Here are 500, but I can't give them to you for free." Seeing that Bai Yang was about to let go, Tao Yuan immediately pressed down on the Fama.

Bai Yang also said, "Why don't you chat with us for a bit?"

"Go ahead and ask, go ahead and ask." The stall owner managed to snap out of it, but his eyes remained glued to the screen.

"Why are you setting up a stall here?" If the Casino employees are victims, caught in the middle, and the managers are accomplices, and the customers come to have fun and all have reasons to stay, then what are these people lingering around the Gambling House for?

"Earning Fama allows one to re-enter Heaven. We are able to remain here thanks to the mercy of Heaven's Master."

It turned out to be a cocoon entangled in spider silk.

Although physically free, they still yearn for it spiritually.

"Master of Heaven, and where is he?"

"I don't know either, but I've heard that the Masters of Heaven are a group of big shots who control both the legitimate and criminal worlds. Even if you knew, it wouldn't be of much use."

Where are the Security Guards?

"It's at the street entrance, just walk straight ahead. They have bad tempers."

Tao Yuan asked a few more questions, but the stall owner seemed to have reached his limit, his gaze on the Fama growing increasingly intense.

Tao Yuan felt the Fama in her hands starting to get hot, so she loosened her grip slightly, and the stall owner quickly snatched all ten Fama into his hand.

The stall owner's ferocious desire and satisfied expression after succeeding reminded her of that eerie creature with many arms.

"Do you still have Fama on you?" Qin Rang asked seriously as he left the stall.

Bai Yang reached into his pocket. "I have twenty left."

Qin Rang incredulously, "Then you just gave back so much?"

Bai Yang stared wide-eyed innocently. "Fama is just for spending. If you want Fama, I can let you steal a lot more after my Doll is repaired."

Qin Rang reluctantly looked away; this was yet another spendthrift son who didn't know how to be thrifty and manage a household.

I'd even like to get half off the price if I wanted to buy the information; 250 is actually a pretty good deal.

Tao Yuan said, "I have fifty here."

An Ying: "35 left."

Tao Yuan looked at Qin Rang: "How much do you have?"

Qin Rang opened his backpack. "A little over 1000."

"... You're asking us unnecessary questions." Tao Yuan Wristband arms. "What are you doing with so many Fama?"

"The voice said that the cost of the Fama would be deducted from the entrance fee, so I collected some after I went in." Qin Rang put down his backpack. "It's a pity we didn't have enough time, otherwise we could have collected some more. Now we can't enter the Gambling House during the day to get any Fama, and we don't know if what we have will be enough."

"There's a problem." An Ying suddenly looked at Bai Yang, "Your Little Rabbit swallowed the moon, is there still night in this Instance?"

Bai Yang hugged his tattered Little Rabbit tightly, feeling guilty. "How should I know?"

"It seems that's not possible," Tao Yuan, who had become quite familiar with him, affirmed. "The daytime has been extended indefinitely."

"It's better that he didn't come at night. We already have enough trouble in the Battle Royale. If his Doll hadn't eaten the moon, there would have been several more rounds of new players in the Battle Royale alone," Qin Rang said.

An Ying: "I just don't know if Perfect Clear requires certain Items at night."

"... You guys continue, I need to find a place to repair the Doll first." Bai Yang said, about to leave, Qin Rang quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry, I know a place where there's cotton and tools suitable for your repairs."
