Have You Been Having Financial Difficulties Lately?

The international Training Camp will begin this Wednesday, with the duration unknown. The higher-ups attach great importance to this multi-party exploratory cooperation, and Thousand Rays Society is under great pressure.

The reason Xu Nan was appointed as the chief instructor was due to his outstanding performance in the past—after all, there are very few people who can get the Ninth Division and the Special Ops Team, who were almost at each other's throats, to get along well.

It's clear that charm is a very useful thing in real life, except that it can occasionally cause dramatic situations.

Xu Nan was self-aware enough to know that he wasn't a super-all-rounder like the protagonist in an online novel; his strengths were rather limited. Since Old Hai had clearly defined his mission, he didn't mind revamping his resume.

So far, he actually approves of the existence of Thousand Rays Society.

Although the philosophy of Thousand Rays Society is a bit naive and immature, in this world that has undergone earth-shattering changes, perhaps retaining some naivety and passion is the key to overcoming difficulties.

His only concern was the unpredictable duration of the Training Camp. What if it dragged on at sea for too long, or what if the world underwent a major change?

Although dungeons have now become official, there are still very few that are truly reliable.

After all, it is already late January, and the Third Day of Prophet is not far away.

Since his last conversation with Luo Mang, Xu Nan has become less certain about prophecies, which are such ethereal things. However, Luo Mang also mentioned that the information given by the Pro Gods is not necessarily all misleading; it is a mixture of truth and falsehood and actually has some reference value.

It has been some time since the last invasion of Earth, and Xu Nan absolutely refused to believe that the gods of the Celestial God Kingdom had been slacking off and playing mahjong all along.

"We still need to remind everyone to be careful."

When Xu Nan left the Special Ops Team base, he was still preoccupied.

These days, he has had time to manage various matters in the dungeon, but gradually, Xu Nan found that his friends all seemed to have their own things to do, and he didn't see them as often as he used to.

Qin Lele, as the City Management Captain, was probably the one who appeared most frequently, only seen two or three times a week. This girl was rumored to have joined a secret organization in another world, similar to Lost Paradise, but it was full of petty thieves and scoundrels; no one knew how it would ultimately turn out. After witnessing Madam Fang's approach to educating Qin Lele, Xu Nan inexplicably developed a guardian's heart, constantly worried that the child would go astray.

Thinking back, it seemed we had already gone astray, and it seemed we couldn't go any further, so we gave up on our plan to follow their mysterious movements.

Lü Junyi has been disappearing without a trace lately. Even Wen Xin has come to Xu Nan several times to inquire about Junyi Ge's whereabouts, her tone as if she were catching him cheating on. Xu Nan could only give her perfunctory answers. When she did occasionally see Junyi Ge, he always looked haggard; who knows what he'd been through.

As for Shi Fanglin, he did obtain the professional abilities he desired through the Azure Dreamland, but when asked what his profession was, he refused to say no matter what. Later, he greeted Xu Nan and seems to have been heading to other provinces recently, and no one knows what happened to him.

Everyone was acting mysteriously, which made Xu Nan feel a little disappointed—it was hard to even get enough people for a mahjong game, how could one not feel melancholy!

Actually, thinking about it carefully, it seems that none of the guys around Xu Nan are exactly innocent. Putting aside the previous ones, the strangely shaped magical pet, A Tang, is suspicious in itself. Since the dungeon was relocated, she no longer has to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the dungeon and spends all her time wandering around outside. Last week, she got drunk at a bar and kicked out the DJ, arrogantly playing records all night. In the end, Xu Nan had to pick her up from the police station.

Xin'er was even stranger.

Xu Nan originally thought that her temper had improved recently and her personality was gradually getting out of her autism; but ever since she lost to Lan Lan by a slight disadvantage and ranked second in the last Dou Lv tv event, she has been in a bad mood.

She only eats one meal a day, and very little at that. She completely shuts herself in her room, rarely even replying to WeChat, let alone engaging in formal communication.

Xu Nan still felt somewhat guilty deep down.

There was no other way; it was just a temporary measure! He had no choice but to borrow Xin'er's money to buy Lan Lan some gifts in order to level up his Initiate Sorcerer skill as soon as possible...

My own little gift shouldn't make a difference, right?

Xu Nan was so guilty that she didn't dare to check the final difference between the two.

He had always been very curious about the relationship between Xin'er and Lan Lan, and the true allegiance of the Star Spirits—it remained a great mystery.

He had entered the Azure Dreamland many times to look for Lan Lan, but she ignored him, probably because she hadn't recharged her account recently; Xin'er didn't mention it at all, leaving Xu Nan completely baffled.

He's probably the most miserable Initiate Sorcerer in the world, not even knowing who his boss is!

"It's difficult to level up Initiate Sorcerer quickly in a short time. Let's find a way to upgrade Ron Sorcerer!"

After finishing the day's basic administrative tasks in the City Lord's Hall, Xu Nan took a short rest before heading out to do a mission.

He changed into a set of night clothes, making sure no one could recognize him, before using the Hagrid's Flicker Spell to leave the dungeon!

Nighttime, Financial Street in H City.

The country's former top financial center has suffered an economic downturn due to global integration. Everyone is stockpiling strategic resources such as food. Although there is no panic yet, capital liquidity has been severely impaired and investment enthusiasm has decreased. At this point, unless an interdimensional investment company emerges, it will be difficult to ignite everyone's investment enthusiasm.

Although the countries have been vague in their statements, everyone is actually quite clear that war is inevitable in the near future.

The intersection of two civilizations is bound to be accompanied by intense friction, let alone the fusion of two worlds.

Therefore, the Financial Street area is deserted during the day and even more desolate at night.

Occasionally, a few pedestrians would walk by, heading to the square next door to do square dancing—well, ever since they learned about the interdimensional fusion event, everyone's enthusiasm for square dancing has increased, after all, exercise is the most important thing!

At this time of day, while walking on the street, you might occasionally see a furtive figure suddenly emerge from a corner, grab a single man's arm, and ask in a low, hoarse voice:

"Hey bro, wanna buy some DVDs?"

If you show even the slightest interest, the other person will open their thick trench coat, revealing a dazzling array of discs hanging inside.

These DVDs are expensive, but they still have a considerable market. The reason is simple: after the fusion of the two worlds, network control became extremely strict, and many servers were shut down; and since the sinking of the Japanese islands, many resources have become permanently unavailable.

Not everyone is prepared and has several terabytes of teaching materials stored at home, so these days, if people want to find some resources, they still have to rely on the old methods from many years ago.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Nan, wearing Black Windbreaker, watched the gaunt young man leave and then checked the results with satisfaction.

We sold about thirty discs in two hours, which is a pretty good result. At this rate, the task should be completed in a little while.

That's right, Xu Nan definitely didn't sell CDs to make money!

He was doing a shameful task.

The quests recently issued by Ron Sorcerer have been incredibly bizarre, but Xu Nan gritted his teeth and did them all in order to meet the quota of embarrassing events.

This is a pity for the residents of H City.

Recent rumors suggest that people are generally discussing two people: one is Masked Superman in a bikini who often performs impromptu dances on the streets during the day; the other is Beast-like Singer who starts belting out songs around 9 p. m.

Initially, the police were in charge of the matter, but later members of the New Neighborhood Committee of Thousand Rays Society joined in, and then it was handed over to the Special Ops Team force.

After all, these two people are clearly professionals. Although they did not cause any harm, they have already had a serious public impact.

The Special Ops Team next door was ordered to apprehend these two morally corrupt individuals within a week. Unfortunately, every time the Special Ops Team was deployed, the two professionals managed to escape unscathed. Every time Xu Nan "accidentally" passed by Old Hai's office, he could hear Old Hai scolding his colleagues who had accepted the mission.

He could only offer his condolences, and then, based on the intelligence he had gathered, quietly moved to another location to continue his crimes...

That's right, he is the Masked Superman, the King of Beast-like Singer, and the Nighttime Yellow Disc Guy!

These three shameful tasks didn't give him many Shame Points, but they were enough to meet the number of shameful events. With the addition of some Bloodline Fruit, Xu Nan was not far from becoming the next level of Ron Sorcerer!

"Sigh, being a warlock is really tough!"

"What the hell would I, a member of a Special Ops Team, do here selling pornographic DVDs? I don't even watch this stuff!"

"Hmm, let's take stock. Recently, the best-selling artists are Utsunomiya-sensei, Momotani-sensei, Minami Ai-sensei, and Angel X-sensei... I'll ask Qiang Zi for more next time."

"I've calculated it, and it's about time. Once this task is completed, I'll report Qiang Zi. We can't let him continue to ruin the spiritual lives of the people like this!"

Xu Nan quietly made a plan, deciding to strike while the iron was hot, sell two more batches to complete the task, and then make a run for it.

But then he thought again that it might not be appropriate to just report Qiang Zi like that. He should find the film sources from him, stockpile some as a precaution, and then report him later.

Yes, that makes it perfect!

As Xu Nan was thinking this, a person suddenly darted out from the alley next to her.

The man was short, had a hoarse and unpleasant voice, and reeked of alcohol.

He grabbed Xu Nan and whispered:

"Want to buy a DVD?"

Xu Nan was furious. How could she have encountered someone trying to steal her business? Wearing a mask so late at night was shameless.

He then ripped off the other person's mask.

She revealed a pretty face.

Xu Nan was stunned.

The other party was not to be outdone and instantly ripped off Xu Nan's mask.

The two stared at each other for a long time before Xu Nan broke the silence first:

"What's wrong...? Have you been having any difficulties lately?"

His voice carried a hint of shame.
