When Qing Yuan had completely immersed herself in the virtual world, Yao Ziyan returned to the counter and noticed Luo Chuan playing Dou Dizhu on his Magic Phone.
"Boss, not writing anymore?" Yao Ziyan asked casually.
"A little tired," Luo Chuan replied offhandedly.
This answer was exactly what Yao Ziyan had expected, and she could not help laughing softly.
Deep within the dense forest, a Magic Beast let out a roar that shook the leaves until they rustled and shivered.
Yao Ziyue, Qing Yuan, and a girl who appeared to be a resident of Oran were fighting a Magic Beast.
The surroundings were a complete mess. Quite a few trees had been brutally snapped apart, their broken sections resembling exposed white bones.
The Magic Beast resembled a mutated lizard. Its limbs were covered in thick bone plates, and black scales could vaguely be seen beneath its brown-black hide.
Its eyes glowed scarlet, while its ghastly white teeth were coated in strange green gelatin that gave off a pungent, fishy stench.
After Yao Ziyan brought Qing Yuan into Casual Mode, Yao Ziyue was pressed into service.
Yao Ziyan had given her a task: lead Qing Yuan in grinding monsters and leveling up.
As for that girl, she was a friend Yao Ziyue had met in Oran.
That was how things stood. The three of them were now grinding monsters and leveling up—or, more accurately, Yao Ziyue was grinding while Qing Yuan and the girl loafed around nearby.
As Yao Ziyan's friend, Qing Yuan had naturally heard of Yao Ziyue. Nothing unexpected happened when the two first met, and they got along very well.
The giant lizard lunged forward with its enormous maw dripping green liquid, moving so fast that it even produced a sonic boom.
Yao Ziyue leaped into the air.
