The Right Way to Use "Not Knowing What's Good for You"

Although Lungmen was not their final destination, they still planned to stay there for a while before leaving.

Therefore, in this situation, finding a reliable place to settle down is quite important.

Inside the hotel --

"Ah, the bed here is quite soft!"

After entering the hotel room, Senti glanced around and then pounced on one of the beds.

Hua, standing to the side, could only manage a helpless, faint smile upon seeing this scene.

"Speaking of which, old timer, are you going out again tonight?"

After rolling around on the bed, Senti looked up at Hua and asked.

"No, I plan to rest a bit tonight. Senti, if you want to go out, then go ahead." Hearing this, Hua gently shook her head and replied in a calm tone.

"Tch, since you're not going, then the great Herrscher of Reason will have to go out and inspect this place properly." With that, Senti quickly sat up from the bed.

Unlike that "old-fashioned" person, she had finally made it to Lungmen before the day ended, and now that the night was over, it would be a waste of all the journey she had made.

"Okay, go have some fun."

After listening to Senti's words, Hua nodded gently, then seemed to remember something and added, "Don't go to chaotic places, and don't cause trouble."

"Okay, okay, you old fogey, you're so long-winded."

After giving a few perfunctory replies, Senti rushed to the door as if afraid that someone would nag her any longer.

I'm leaving!

"Bang-"

"Well..."

Looking at the closed door, Hua sighed helplessly.

After leaving the hotel, Senti felt a little empty, but still happily strolled around the bustling streets of Lungmen.

The sheer number of things dazzled her, and among them were some things that caught her eye and that she liked.

Because she had plenty of money, Senti didn't hold back. She bought whatever she liked, as long as the price wasn't outrageously high, sometimes even in duplicate.

As for why there were two portions... well, that's because I wanted to take them back to show off to some old-fashioned person.

"Um?"

Senti was walking down the street carrying large and small bags when she suddenly seemed to sense something. She stopped abruptly and looked around with a puzzled expression.

However, after looking around, apart from the passing pedestrians, nothing unusual was found.

"Is it just my imagination? Never mind."

Although Senti trusted her intuition, after searching around and finding nothing unusual, she didn't dwell on the matter.

After all, she didn't think there was anyone in this city who could hurt her... Even if there were, she could just go back to the old man.

Senti quickly put this little incident out of her mind and continued shopping.

To be honest, although tonight was mostly a aimless stroll, there were actually some things that Herrscher of Sentience had planned to buy before she left the house. For example, some trendy clothes that would suit her and the old-fashioned guy.

Although Senti already owns the casual outfit she's wearing, which she bought elsewhere, she's never really been satisfied with it.

In her own words, how could such ordinary clothes be worthy of the great Herrscher of Reason's temperament!

Needless to say, Senti admitted that she did look quite good in the robes that came with her.

But after so long, she was tired of seeing the same clothes... She wanted to get someone some new clothes to wear.

As she strolled around, Senti stumbled upon quite a few clothing stores, and she was able to buy a lot of clothes that she thought were very stylish.

"?~"

After wandering around for a while and confirming that there was nothing she wanted to buy, Senti, carrying her full haul, hummed a little tune in a good mood and hurried back along the brightly lit street.

However, while passing through a busy street with heavy pedestrian traffic, a girl with her head down accidentally bumped into Senti, who was carrying many bags, in the crowded situation.

"I'm so sorry!"

After quickly apologizing, the girl who bumped into Xiao Shi disappeared into the crowd before Senti could react.

"This is really interesting!"

Senti stared at the girl's disappearing figure, his scarlet eyes flashing, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up as if he had discovered something interesting.

A dark alleyway in the Lungmen slums --

"Hmph, it's rare for me to go over there, and I didn't expect to run into someone so stupid and rich that I succeeded so easily."

"Also, this wallet is really ugly."

In the dark alley, a girl named Cautus with long purple hair and rabbit ears was flipping through a wallet with a distinctive brick pattern on it, and complaining.

"Wow, there's still so much money. Looks like I won't need to steal anything for a long time to come."

After taking all the money out of her wallet and counting it, the girl couldn't help but sigh.

Just as the girl was about to put the money into her pocket and throw away the ugly wallet in her hand, a snow-white hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, and at the same time, a voice full of anger quietly rang in her ear.

"You're the one who's stupid and rich! Your whole family is stupid and rich! Besides, what's ugly about this wallet?! I designed it with all my hard work!"

"!"

This sudden turn of events startled the girl from head Cautus toe.

She instinctively tried to shake her hand off, but she was quickly horrified to discover that she couldn't break free from the hand gripping her wrist.

"You..."

Just as Senti was about to say something, the familiar electronic voice from the system in her mind suddenly rang out, interrupting her.

[Ding! (Empty Dream) Pardofelis, unlocking in progress, current progress 1%]

P. S.: I went out to visit relatives again today, so this chapter is a make-up for yesterday's. I'll try my best to update three chapters tonight. I can only say that you have to find your rhythm when you start a new book.

Chapter 2 The Correct Use of Out of Touch

"?"

After hearing the system's prompt, it was Senti's turn to be surprised. But after thinking about it a little more, she felt it actually made sense.

After all, one was a habitual thief from the slums of Lungmen, and the other was a habitual thief from the talent-rich Twilight Alley...

"I was wrong, I'll return your wallet to you right now!" The girl—no, she should be called Rope— quickly said, watching the person in front of her whose expression kept changing.

"Huh? You think this can be resolved so easily! You tasteless fellow." After hearing Rope's words, Senti quickly came to his senses and said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Rope's expression changed. He tried again to pull his hand back, but found it still wouldn't budge. He then asked in a slightly ingratiating voice, "Then, how do you plan to resolve this?"

"Well... I'll say it three times: the great Herrscher of Reason is the smartest and has the best taste!" Senti said seriously after thinking for a while in response to Rope's question.

"Forehead..."

After hearing this request, Rope's gaze towards the person in front of him suddenly became strange.

Clearly, this was the first time in her life she had heard such a strange request.

"What, you don't want to?"

"No, no, no, how could that be? If Miss likes it, I'll call for it right away!"

Seeing Senti's gaze gradually turn unfriendly, Rope quickly said from the bottom of his heart, "The great Herrscher of Reason is the most intelligent and has the best taste!"

"The voice is too soft! Speak louder!"

"The greatest Herrscher of Reason the most intelligent and have the best taste!" ×2 (Very loud)

That's more like it.

Upon hearing this, Senti nodded in satisfaction.

"Well... here's your thing back. May I leave now?"

Rope watched Xiao Shi's satisfied Senti closely, then carefully offered the money and empty wallet in his hands, tentatively asking, "..."

Upon hearing this, Senti first took the things and put them away, then said with feigned surprise, "Ha, when did I say I would let you leave?"

As the words fell, a special brick, matching the pattern on the wallet, quietly materialized and appeared in Senti's free hand.

"You... ah."

Before Rope could finish her accusations, Senti's Divine Key [Out of Touch - Destroy Jade and Stone] slammed into her head, instantly knocking her unconscious.

"As expected, he still Out of Touch."

Senti caught Rope, who was about to fall, with one hand, and tossed the brick in his hand with the other, sighing.

Of course, Senti didn't use any serious force on Rope; he simply used his abilities to put her to sleep, ensuring she wasn't harmed in any way.

As for why this was done...

Aside from wanting to get a little revenge on someone for their "rude remarks," the main reason was to unlock the character.

Compared to slowly unlocking someone's potential over hours or even days by interacting with them while they're awake and have ulterior motives, Senti definitely prefers this simple and direct method.

After looking around and glancing at Rope, Senti finally decided to contact someone first.

"Old fogey, I won't be going back tonight. I've put the things back in my spatial storage; take them if you need them."

Sigh... you.

Because they understood each other perfectly, even if Senti didn't explain why, Hua knew what had happened on her side, or rather, what she had done...

But that's precisely why Hua is so helpless.

"Take care of yourself, and make sure Rope is settled... Your area is a slum in Lungmen, a melting pot of all sorts. If you just leave someone there carelessly, something bad will happen."

'Okay, okay, you old fogey, don't keep reminding me. I'm not a child!'

'Yes, yes, Senti is no longer a child...'

That sounds so perfunctory, I'm serious!

After arguing with Hua, Senti finally stopped being Out of Touch, picked up the Rope, and leisurely left the dark alley.

On the morning of the second day, as the sun slowly rose, golden sunlight shone down on the earth.

"Ugh...!"

Rope slowly opened her eyes, still dazed, until she met the azure sky. Then she suddenly realized what was happening and sat up abruptly.

The first thing she did after sitting up was to check her head... because her last memory of last night was being attacked.

"Phew... I'm not hurt, thank goodness. I don't have any money to see a doctor." After checking himself over and confirming that he was not in pain and had no wounds, Rope finally let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"But where am I... wait, what is this!?"

Just as Rope came to her senses and looked around, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar "ugly thing," or rather, a wallet.

Although Rope didn't quite understand why the thing that had caused him to faint was still there, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand towards it.

However, when she held the item in her hand, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the wallet wasn't opened, its weight and years of experience suggested that there was something Rope.

She paused for a moment, carefully looked around to make sure there was no danger or prying eyes, before cautiously opening her wallet.

Then, what caught my eye was a stack of money and a slip of paper.

"Gurgle..."

Looking at the stack of money, Rope couldn't help but swallow hard, but in the end she held back and chose to pick up the note first.
