The Advancing ATM Unit 1

Just as Bai Zhi returned to the living room carrying two cans of Herbal Tea, he happened to be pulling Anna along as they returned from the Shadow World in Qingyi.

Upon seeing him, Anna ran over and reached out to tug at his sleeve, looking quite aggrieved.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

Reaching out to pat Anna's head, who looked utterly aggrieved, Bai Zhi asked Qingyi with a slightly puzzled expression.

"She wanted to sneak into your bed while I was away, so I dragged her along to the Shadow World to help out."

With a soft hum, and carrying several jars, the White-haired loli turned and walked towards her room.

"You're back just in time. I've already prepared the Magic Potion for you. Take it after you finish eating. Get your Spiritual Energy cap up to 2000 points as soon as possible."

"... Was there sugar added this time?"

Recalling a certain drug that had caused him severe psychological Shadow, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

"Qingyi, why does this medicine taste a bit bitter..."

"No, it's not true, it's just your imagination."

--This comes from an unusually decisive answer from a certain little girl.

"..."

I don't know how the Campus Belle dealt with their parents, but when they came back, both Lin Xiaoyi and Xia Wen looked much more relaxed.

Bai Zhi, on the other hand, ate his "last lunch" with a tragic and solemn feeling, as if he were going to the execution ground to eat his last meal before being beheaded.

After finishing their meal, the Campus Belle and Xia Wen entered the Inner World.

Their next Dungeon quest is about to begin.

Just as Bai Zhi resigned himself to lying down until the afternoon and was about to take his medicine, his phone suddenly rang.

When he answered the phone, a familiar voice, somewhat cold and aloof, came from the other end.

"Open the door."

"Well..."

Bai Zhi glanced at Mu Qiansè, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, then turned to look at Anna, who was studying in front of the computer with a bitter expression, and finally fixed his gaze on Qingyi, who was watching him drink his medicine... Bai Zhi suddenly felt a little glad that the Campus Belle beauties were not around.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Bai Zhi in front of her, the White-haired loli seemed a little strange.

"Someone's here, I'll go open the door."

Bai Zhi put down the bowl in his hand and pointed to the door.

"... So you really did bring one back after all?"

Upon hearing his words, and for some unknown reason, the White-haired loli's face immediately darkened.

"This place is already full; there's no more room for anyone else."

"What are you thinking? She has her own place to live."

Slightly speechless, Bai Zhi stood up from the dining table and walked towards the door while saying something.

"Her visit this time is probably more out of a sense of responsibility; how could she possibly stay here... Good afternoon, is there anything I can help you with?"

Opening the door, Bai Zhi saw a Young Girl with short, neat black hair standing in front of him. To avoid being hacked to pieces, he put on what he thought Perfect smile.

"You told me the address was Funeral Home, so it seems you've already prepared your own place to go."

Reaching out to hold up his phone, He Zhiqiū... or rather, the Dead Zero Ling, had a completely expressionless face.

"What did you say to me in the car earlier?"

"... So you actually went to that place to see it?"

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from the other party, Bai Zhi's expression froze.

"Of the two addresses, I think the first one is more likely to be correct. The second one might be something you made up to fool me because you changed your mind at the last minute."

Dead Zero's voice sounded slightly cold.

This is the second time you've lied to me.

"Uh... didn't I give you the correct address later?"

Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

That's why I didn't take out the knife.

The Dead Zero, spoke calmly.

"Otherwise, do you think I would stab you a few times?"

"... Two cuts?"

"No, 112 dollars! You've blocked my phone number for so many days!"

"..."

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Bai Zhi decisively changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about these unpleasant things anymore. What's past is past, and we need to learn to move on... So, what exactly did you come to see me about?"

"I told you from the beginning that you were moving to my place."

The Dead Zero, frowned slightly.

"For safety reasons, you live here alone..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a White-haired loli peeking out from behind Bai Zhi, scrutinizing her with a rather hostile gaze.

Immediately afterward, behind the White-haired loli, a Blonde Loli who looked very familiar also curiously peeked out.

At this moment, for some reason, a series of emoticons appeared above the Blonde Loli's head, such as "Hi~o(*￣▽￣*)ブ,(≧∇≦)/,(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧,(*◑∇◑)☞☜(◐∇◐*)"... emoticons?

So why is this familiar-looking Blonde Loli able to send emoticons?

"Senior? What brings you here?"

Just as the Dead Zero was unconsciously lost in thought, a slightly surprised voice pulled her out of her reverie.

When she came to her senses, she saw a certain Night Owl who had just finished washing the dishes walking out of the kitchen, reaching out to untie his apron.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that she noticed a Ring on the ring finger of the Night Owl in front of her that looked somewhat familiar...

"..."

His gaze swept over Bai Zhi's hand, and after a moment of silence, the Dead Zero expressionlessly took out his knife from his Inventory...

"Wait, wait a minute! What are you doing!?"

Sensing the increasingly intense killing intent emanating from ATM Machine No. 1, Bai Zhi's expression changed drastically. He couldn't understand why the other party had suddenly changed his attitude in such a short time.

He didn't know the exact strength of ATM Machine No. 1, but judging from the Skill he had copy earlier, ATM Machine No. 1 already had more than 40 points in the agility attribute alone.

If a fight really breaks out here in this narrow stairwell, what will happen to my rented apartment?

I'm really short of money!!

When did you get married? And when did you have children?

Gripping the knife hilt tightly, the Dead Zero's face remained expressionless.

"So you've been Deception my feelings from the very beginning, haven't you? This is the third time you've lied to me."

"Two children... marriage... no, where did you get that from!?"

Slightly dumbfounded, Bai Zhi turned around and saw a somewhat guilty-looking Night Owl sneaking away behind him.

Upon seeing his gaze directed at him, the other person immediately put their hands behind their back and stood at attention, then turned their head to look around, pretending to be admiring the scenery.

Bai Zhi: "???"
