Vacuum Reveals a Man's True Colors

Xu Nan first replied to Shi Sanjie: "Go to my place first. I'll tell you about Junyi Ge's situation later. It's complicated."

Only then did he ask Qin Lele with a grave expression:

"What happened? Where's the dragon? What kind of dragon?"

Qin Lele replied, "You actually responded to that Third Sister person on WeChat before replying to me!"

"As the dungeon lord, shouldn't you care more about the safety of your direct subordinate?"

"There's a dragon right in front of me!"

Xu Nan had a headache. "Don't alarm it. Come back immediately. That's an order."

If there really was a dragon, things would get interesting.

With Xu Nan's current strength, he was still miles away from dragon slaying. And any dragon that appeared in a dungeon was probably no friendly creature.

But logically speaking, powerful monsters shouldn't have been able to appear so early in the planar fusion. How had a creature like a dragon slipped through?

Even the mighty Pro Gods were still agonizing over the types of monsters to deploy on the First Day.

"I'll take a picture for you."

Qin Lele replied.

Xu Nan grew nervous and quickly typed, "Whatever you do, don't alarm..."

The next second, he swiftly deleted every word and merely sent a speechless emoji.

Because Qin Lele had sent him a picture.

There really was a very fat dragon in it.

A very, very fat chameleon.

"Get your ass back here right now!"

Xu Nan was thoroughly infuriated by that brat.

Because Lost Paradise's reserves were insufficient, Xu Nan's temporary warehouse was almost too full to hold his lottery prizes.

Fortunately, old Mr. Luo Mang was loyal. When Xu Nan left, he had the Smith Couple send over two more treasure chests.

Though the two chests were empty, they contained their own internal spaces. They were incomparably better than Xu Nan's basic Storage Bag, and each was roughly the size of a soccer field.

Xu Nan spent quite some effort selecting the better magical items and carefully storing them away. He also had the Mechanical Ghost put away the higher-quality gems and metals. As for the alchemy blueprints, he stuffed them all into the Storage Bag for the time being.

As for the items, Xu Nan decided to carefully preserve the sealed Greater Demon Heart. It was packed with energy and could serve as one of the dungeon's power cores.

He had already returned the other two items to Lost Paradise's Alchemy Heart through a temporarily opened passage. In exchange, the two alchemists gave Xu Nan additional compensation.

Lost Paradise Alchemy Heart Special Trade Access Permit.

In short, with this permit, Xu Nan could conduct simple trades with other Ron Sorcerers through Lost Paradise's system. Normally, this function would only unlock after reaching the second tier, but perhaps the two alchemists had been intimidated by Xu Nan's relationship with old Mr. Luo Mang, so they granted him the privilege directly.

It would have been unlocked sooner or later anyway. People had to learn to be flexible.

While thanking the two alchemists for their compensation, Xu Nan discreetly continued drawing prizes. He had earned far too many Activity Points, and even though it was already past midnight, couples were still constantly providing him with points.

However, the Alchemy Heart reacted quickly as well. Bat teeth, bat droppings, and other junk items once again appeared on Xu Nan's prize wheel.

It looked like they had urgently transferred in these supplies.

"Where did they get all this stuff?"

Xu Nan was curious. Then, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he used the permit to open Lost Paradise's trading market.

One look made him laugh.

A pinned listing revealed that Lost Paradise's Seventh Alchemy Heart was temporarily purchasing large quantities of bat teeth and bat droppings at high prices.

The trading market's universal currency was the Constant Gold Coin, supposedly a currency that would never depreciate. Even the exiled Arcane Empire and the druids of the Sea of Nature recognized it.

It was issued by Lost Paradise's Financial Heart.

Xu Nan couldn't help sneering when he saw that explanation. If he believed those sorcerers' nonsense, then he was an honest and dependable gentleman himself.

Still, within the rules system, Constant Gold Coins were quite useful. Xu Nan thought about it. His warehouse was full of useless bat teeth and droppings anyway, so exchanging them for Constant Gold Coins would not be a loss.

So he anonymously listed a large batch of bat teeth on the trading market, selling them at a price twenty percent higher than the Seventh Alchemy Heart's offer.

Before long, the people from the Seventh Alchemy Heart indeed bought up the entire batch of bat teeth.

Xu Nan smiled faintly and listed another batch of bat droppings.

Those two alchemists probably never would have imagined that everything was under Xu Nan's control. In any case, he had already squeezed all the good items he could get from the Seventh Alchemy Heart. He might as well exchange Activity Points for Constant Gold Coins.

After hurriedly resolving the Lost Paradise matter.

Xu Nan put together a powerful set of magical equipment for himself.

After all, he had become rich overnight. Continuing to wear those crude rings he had made himself was a little beneath him now.

The magical equipment in Xu Nan's warehouse was enough to arm a twenty-person team of professionals!

Naturally, he would equip himself with the best.

For instance, he chose a robe called Wind of Nottingham as his mage robe.

This robe could provide powerful spell amplification and mana recovery. At the same time, it had three spells permanently imbued into it: Warm in Winter Cool in Summer, Protection from Arrows, and Powerful Disguise.

There was no need to explain the first two spells. The third was also extremely practical: the mage robe could disguise itself in any form Xu Nan needed.

Of course, a disguise was ultimately just a disguise. At its core, it was still a mage robe.

However, a small accident occurred when Xu Nan took off his clothes to try it on.

The troublesome Quest Card started causing trouble again—

Large Quest Chain Triggered!

I Love Nature 2: Vacuum Reveals a Man's True Colors!

Quest Description: You love nature, and nature loves you too; we are born unburdened and die the same way; why be bound by worldly clothing? Wear a mage robe for 24 hours. During those 24 hours, you may not wear any other clothing on your body!

Quest Reward: 6 Shame Points; random Elementary Polymorph (Druid)

Xu Nan was shocked. "Doesn't this quest have 36 stages? The second stage is going vacuum, so won't the third stage be streaking? What comes after that?!"

He felt there could not possibly be a more terrifying quest!

It had to be said that purity limited Xu Nan's imagination.

He did not dwell on it for long and decided to accept the quest. It seemed to have fairly good value for the effort.

Going vacuum was all. It wasn't like he would be naked. His mage robe could change into anything, so who could tell he was not wearing anything underneath?

Xu Nan decisively accepted it. His previous conversation with old Mr. Luo Mang had benefited him greatly. Since he did not want to go insane, he might as well slowly accept these bizarre settings!

Of course, Xu Nan still had his basic limits.

He removed all his clothes, put on Wind of Nottingham, and ordered it to transform into a normal casual outfit. At least visually, Xu Nan looked no different from usual.

But... why did it feel so chilly?

It really felt like there was a draft beneath his mage robe.

Just then, the City Management Captain returned, carrying a backpack and holding that fat chameleon in her hand.

Xu Nan beckoned. "Come here. I prepared a set of equipment for you."

Since he was planning to develop Qin Lele into one of his own, Xu Nan could not be too stingy with her. He was not a penny-pinching gear hoarder like Ah Tang.

He had prepared an excellent rogue set for Qin Lele. Its quality was exceptional; even in Pro World, only the most elite rogues would have a chance to obtain something like it.

Qin Lele had just been harshly scolded by Xu Nan on WeChat. Sulking unhappily, she ran over and casually reached out to grab it.

Xu Nan was stunned on the spot.

A marvelous sensation struck... a certain part of him.

The Thunder Lizard Leather Armor in his hands fell to the floor with a smack.

Qin Lele stared at her right hand in complete panic, her face flushing crimson in an instant!

"Xu Nan!"

"You, you, you..."

"I, I, I..."

She stomped her foot, then ran off with a red face. She tossed the fat chameleon onto the floor, nearly killing it in the process.

After a long while, Xu Nan finally came to his senses and roared at the sky:

"Qin Lele!"

"If you use me to practice Underwear Theft Technique again, I'll strip you naked and hang you from the future dungeon's walls for public display!"

The goblins watching nearby all revealed expectant expressions.

Late at night, in Xu Nan's living room.

Qin Lele sat off to the side with a flushed face. Completely unlike her usual self, she looked as proper and dignified as a lady.

Xu Nan sat on the sofa with his legs instinctively clenched together.

As usual, Ah Tang was watching a Thai drama.

A black-and-white photo of Lü Junyi still sat on the table.

Across from Xu Nan sat a man with soft, feminine facial features.

He was very tall, nearly six foot three, yet he looked delicate. He was Shi Fanglin, Xu Nan's best friend aside from Lü Junyi.

Shi Fanglin had loved Wuju opera performances since childhood and practiced for some time. Because he also looked especially like a girl, people jokingly called him "Shi Sanjie."

Shi Sanjie himself was extremely cold and expressionless. Only Xu Nan and Lü Junyi knew that this guy was actually a thoroughly black-bellied, sharp-tongued bastard.

"So you're all superhumans now?"

"The news I saw wasn't just the delusions of irresponsible reporters? It was actually real?"

"Veterinarian Lü fell into a coma for unknown reasons, and you want me to help design an underground fortress?"

His expression and tone remained calm.

"Junyi Ge's situation is indeed troublesome. It's still hard to say what this world will become in the future. I just want to make preparations in advance."

Xu Nan explained his thoughts.

He could not face the coming invasion from another world alone. Lü Junyi and Shi Fanglin were both people he could trust.

Shi Fanglin was silent for a while, his slender fingers tapping against the tabletop.

"We'll discuss the underground fortress later. I need to survey the site myself, and I need more reference material on the other world."

"I want to see Lü Junyi first."

Xu Nan nodded. "No problem. I'll take you there right..."

At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Xu Nan immediately looked alert. Qin Lele had already run to the window to look outside.

Her tone was strange.

"Xu Nan, why is there a woman coming to your house in the middle of the night?"

"She's even wearing a nurse's uniform!"

"Tell me, do you have some kind of special hobby?"
