ATM ▪ Number One

As an Anomaly, the Loli Qingyi had a much higher level of Perception than Mu Qiansè. When Bai Zhi's gaze fell on her, she immediately frowned and became suspicious.

Fortunately, just the moment Bai Zhi turned his gaze over, the five-minute time limit expired, and the white Magicians Formalwear instantly disappeared from his body.

"That's right, I just got back not long ago."

Bai Zhi secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat, nodded imperceptibly, and casually bent down to pick up the Magicians Formalwear.

"I obtained an item from the Inner World that increases my field of vision... By the way, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

As he spoke, Bai Zhi turned his gaze toward the kitchen and asked the other person a question with great curiosity.

Sure enough, after his teasing, the Loli Qingyi immediately forgot about the strange spying she had been feeling earlier. After all, there was no one here to be wary of. She then turned around and quickly blocked the kitchen doorway with a fierce look on her face.

"No entry now!!"

"You talk like someone actually wants to go in..."

With a slight pout, Bai Zhi turned and sat down on the Sofa.

Hmm... the crisis was resolved satisfactorily, so this was a good outcome.

Feeling a pang of guilt, Bai Zhi silently gave himself a mental thumbs-up.

While the two went back to their room to change clothes and the other went back to the kitchen to continue refining pills, Bai Zhi first took the time to put away the [Magicians Formalwear] to destroy the evidence, and then picked up the last Item on the table.

After successfully Walkthrough the [Amusement Park ▪ Eternal Night City] Dungeon, as Player with an overall performance rating of S-rank, he obtained a total of three Item from the amusement park.

Aside from the Skill Card that didn't yet meet the learning requirements and this Special [Magicians Formalwear], the last remaining Item was a bag of balloons.

[Item Name: Clown's Gift Balloon]

[Type: Consumable]

[Quality: common]

[Quantity: 30]

[Special Effect: Gift. Inflate a balloon and give it away. Each balloon given away grants the user a random, common- Level buff of varying duration. There is a very small chance of obtaining a permanent buff. Balloons already given away will lose their effect.]

[Consumption:: None]

[Usage Condition: None]

[Note:: Our dear Mr. Clown often suffers from sleep paralysis, so the magician kindly offered a suggestion: don't be afraid when you're experiencing sleep paralysis, start by slowly moving your fingers. Our poor Mr. Clown followed the magician's advice, and the next time he was paralyzed, he struggled and slowly raised his middle finger... And after that day, no one in the amusement park ever saw Mr. Clown again.]

"Hmm..."

After carefully reading through the description of the bag of balloons, Bai Zhi picked up a balloon from the small bag.

After Mu Qiansè finally changed her clothes and returned to the living room, there were three fully inflated balloons on the Coffee Table.

"... What are you doing?"

Looking at the person in front of her who was happily blowing up balloons, Mu Qiansè couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

"What happened to that beautiful White Formalwear you wore before? Why don't you keep wearing it?"

"That's a Special item with a time limit, a loot I obtained from the Inner World... You've come at the right time, these balloons are for you."

Bai Zhi glanced at the other person, his eyes slightly unfocused, and handed over the three inflated balloons.

"Similarly, this is also my spoils."

Mu Qiansè: "..."

She didn't know why, but she always felt that the way the other person looked at her was rather strange, as if they were afraid to look her in the eye...

[Buff ▪ Gluttony: You can eat ten baskets of steamed buns in one go without any problems. -- One hour]

[Buff▪ Kidney Treasure: One bottle refreshes the mind, two bottles prevent fatigue, three bottles grant longevity, oh yeah! -- 24 hours]

[Buff▪ Gravity Is Just a Capitalist Lie: Significantly reducing the binding force of gravity allows you to perform many actions that defy common sense. -- Three minutes]

The [Clown's Gift Balloon] item was just common- level item, and Bai Zhi didn't expect it to provide him with any help at all. In Bai Zhi's opinion, the buffs he received had a rather unconventional feel to them.

"... I'm currently inside High-Tier A-rank Transit Station."

With a somewhat complicated feeling, Mu Qiansè carefully placed aside the three inexpensive balloons—the first gifts she had received from the other person—and spoke first.

"The Dungeon I Clearance Rate reached 42% completion at the end, but I couldn't finish Walkthrough. It's left for later Player to complete."

"The High-Tier A-rank Transit Station... I'm currently inside the Highest-Tier S-rank Transit Station."

Bai Zhi reached up and pressed his forehead, letting out a sigh.

"Never mind, I'll see if I can get to your place after I enter the Inner World again... By the way, I'm encountering a Dungeon related to an amusement park, what about yours?"

"It's a Dungeon about a school... [School • Fierce Ghost School]."

After a moment of silence, Mu Qiansè suddenly looked up at him.

"I've heard that the common in the Inner World Dungeon are selected from the Real World. Is this true or false?"

"... The death toll has been reduced to a minimum."

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly before he handed over his phone.

"This contains the latest official report: a highly potent and deadly disease is spreading in Binhai City. If you have someone in your household who is unconscious and unresponsive, please call the following number immediately... As time goes on, more and more casualties will occur. All we Player need to do is one thing: end this Campaign Quest as quickly as possible."

"... I see."

After taking the phone and glancing at it for a few moments, Mu Qiansè.

"Oh, right, there's something else I think I need to tell you."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Bai Zhi looked up at the other person and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Senior Zhiqiu back; she's one of the Player too."

While saying these words, Mu Qiansè carefully observed Bai Zhi's facial expressions.

Do you remember her?

"Who?"

"Senior Zhiqiu."

"What Senior?"

"Zhiqiu and Tu-Shu Senior..."

"Zhiqiu What?"

"... Senior Zhiqiu"

"What 'Zhiqiu'?"

"... nothing."
