But as the two crossed an intersection, her expression gradually became strange.

Not far ahead, at the mall entrance, a couple was arguing. The man looked impatient and furious, arms crossed. "I don't care! You promised me you'd buy it for me this time! It's a limited edition bag! My buddies' girlfriends all got them, and if I didn't buy it, we'd break up!"

"Oh my god, what kind of bag costs over 20,000 yuan? I don't even earn that much in a year! How about we get a different one? They're pretty much the same anyway, right?" The girl put one hand on her hip, scratched the back of her head, and looked annoyed.

Boyfriends are hard to find these days, especially since her boyfriend is quite handsome; she had to go to great lengths to win him over.

"I don't care, you have to buy it for me!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, Ling Mengxue could no longer hold back; her expression was incredibly complex, and her body involuntarily tensed.

This is truly a feminist world, and this is only a small part of what I've seen.

On the streets, traffic police, special agents, taxi drivers, convenience store clerks, and workers carrying goods were mostly women. They were all very capable and had no trace of coquettishness in their eyes.

Although the appearances of the boys and girls are basically no different from those of the world they live in, the women in this world are much stronger, almost at the level of the First-Order Gene Lock.

Let alone in this secret realm, even in my own world, women would definitely be the dominant force.

Ling Mengxue herself didn't care, but the boy's affected and pretentious manner was really an eyesore, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

On the other hand, Xia Keke was taking in the new things around her with shining eyes, finding them interesting and fun. Her pure heart was untouched by the world's grime, like a simple and innocent young girl.

"Big brother, are you in a bad mood? You seem to be spacing out the whole time." Xia Keke suddenly tugged at Ling Mengxue's hand, her face showing concern.

"It's nothing, maybe you're just not used to it yet."

"Real?"

"Real."

After thinking it over, Ling Mengxue decided to take Xia Keke to buy a new phone first.

Within the secret realm instance, players' authentication information can be used to bind their mobile phone ID cards, which is a very user-friendly feature. This feature can continue to be used in the future, since the signal strength differs between worlds, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

But the various encounters she had along the way left her speechless.

Whether it was the sales assistants at the mobile phone store or the pedestrians on the street, the way they looked at her seemed to be as if they wanted to "devour her alive".

Some people who weren't watching where they were going even bumped into utility poles.

Same recipe, same taste...

The only change is that the gender roles have been reversed.

Girls all love looking at handsome guys!

The kind that's blatantly blatant!

Some of the bolder ones would even tease her, making Xia Keke cover her mouth and giggle.

Ling Mengxue saw all of this, but subconsciously ignored it.

She'd gotten used to it anyway, and thinking about certain things in this world had made her feel quite numb.

In this world, men marry women, women earn money to support the family, and men stay home to do housework and take care of the children!

It's perfectly normal for girls to pursue boys and flirt with them; they even need to prepare a generous dowry to marry them...

This is just... something's definitely not right!

Moreover, men are very self-respecting and self-loving. If they cheat, they will be said to be "unvirtuous as husbands"!

Ling Mengxue was speechless for a long time before she finally managed to accept this situation.

How so?

She suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the terrifying world of the 'Ping'an District'!

With a sigh, she reluctantly led Xia Keke into a guesthouse.

For them nowadays, where they live is definitely the top priority.

The currency used here is 'Soul Coins'. With her assets of several hundred thousand, she doesn't need to worry about running out of money. After all, it's the special currency of the Dimensional Secret Realm, and even ghosts use this stuff. If she could use RMB, that would be truly awesome.

When the cashier at the front desk saw them, she couldn't take her eyes off them.

"..."

Hey! That's too far!!

[img=500,500]htt Chapter 147 Open the door, Starve-Proof Delivery!

"Hello, please arrange two separate rooms for us."

Ling Mengxue spoke naturally, but the girl at the front desk was stunned for a while before blushing and helping to arrange the room.

Xia Keke followed behind her, blinking her eyes, and teased, "Big brother is so charming, every girl is captivated by you."

"... Can I take that as a compliment, Xia Keke?"

Ling Mengxue glanced at the ID above her head and read it aloud.

Xia Keke chuckled, sticking out her tongue and acting coquettishly, tightening her grip on her arm. "I was just kidding, trying to lighten the mood, big brother, don't mind! It's just that your aura isn't strong enough, tsk tsk, it's too stuffy."

Ling Mengxue her eyes at her; this girl was honest enough.

Forget it, he's just a little kid.

Why should an 18-year-old adult argue with a child?

That would be rather unbecoming!

Once they reached the third floor, she didn't stand on ceremony with Xia Keke, lightly flicking her forehead and turning her around. "Your room is on the left. Don't go visiting other rooms so late at night if you don't have anything to do. Get some rest."

"Big brother, it's so boring being alone. How about I play a game with you?" Xia Keke put her hands behind her back, smiling sweetly, looking completely harmless.

Ling Mengxue was stunned by what she saw, and she retracted her earlier assessment of the girl.

She's such a troublesome little devil!

That's all for now, see you tomorrow!

Click--

The sound of a door closing rang out, and Xia Keke's smile froze.

The next second, she pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "Everyone says I'm cute and likes me, so why does the older brother look at me... so indifferent?"

Filled with doubt and confusion, she opened the solid wood door to the room and returned to her bedroom.

In the next room, after Ling Mengxue finished tidying up everything, she began to make plans.

They arrived in this world during twilight hours and were not assigned any mission roles, which resulted in them lacking a lot of information. There were no further hints later on, making it extremely difficult to investigate the main storyline.

We have five days to find Ye Yiren first; otherwise, we won't even get any clues, let alone any missions.

"How about... we go out and put up missing person posters tomorrow morning?"

Lying on the pristine white cotton bed, a strange thought suddenly popped into Ling Mengxue's mind.

However, she quickly dismissed this bizarre idea.

As far as she knows, this 'Happy Town' is at least tens of thousands of square kilometers. Searching for someone in such a vast area, especially someone who is completely unfamiliar with the place, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ling Mengxue smiled calmly. Sure enough, this was the normal state of affairs for an ordinary person coming to a strange world.

Anxiety, worry, confusion... a whole host of complex emotions filled it.

But is she an ordinary person?

She is, after all, a Star Engraving -Crossed Magical Girls.

Since becoming Magical Girls, Ling Mengxue has truly enjoyed it. To be honest, the various kinds of magic she uses are really fun, and being able to use them so easily has made things much more convenient.

However, this only refers to life in general. In terms of combat, she still finds Star Engraving's swordsmanship and guns easier to use, and the sense of belonging he provides is more reassuring.

Lying in her room, she and Xia Keke exchanged messages via text and decided to Qidian.

The food delivery industry is indeed lucrative in any world.

The app has a wide variety of dishes, just as many as they have in their world, and about 50% of the dishes are similar, which feels quite familiar. There's also milk tea.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Ling Mengxue carefully examined her face, then raised her hand to gently lift a few strands of hair, which appeared slightly disheveled in the breeze.

With delicate features and fair skin, he truly looked like a handsome young man, lacking any effeminate quality but instead exuding a cool, minty charm.

"My hair seems a bit long, but it actually looks quite good."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ling Mengxue blushed for no apparent reason; the scene was inexplicably strange.

It's impossible for me to have any thoughts about myself; in short, this feeling is just very strange.

Shortly afterward, a sharp, piercing siren shattered the night's tranquility.

Ling Mengxue paused for a moment, then pushed open the window with a hint of doubt.

Unlike the joyful and lively atmosphere during the day, the entire world of 'Happy Town' is dark at night. Looking into the distance, there are hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and only a few faint lights are scattered in the high-rise buildings.

"What's the principle behind this? Is it another one of those scenes where terrifying monsters appear after dark?"

Ling Mengxue stared at the police cars speeding past on the street in the distance, her face showing hesitation. However, she quickly dismissed the thought and shook her head.

"This isn't a horror world, so the possibility of supernatural phenomena is very low. If we follow the main storyline, maybe that Murder Demon has reappeared?"

This world is quite friendly to female players. After immersing themselves in a character, their physical attributes can be improved to the level of First-Order Martial Artist. However, those who do not immerse themselves in a character cannot obtain any attribute bonuses, which is a real disadvantage.

However... this applies to ordinary people.

Once players reach this secret realm, they can become any profession; who knows, maybe one of the police officers is even a player?

Ling Mengxue suddenly had an urge to sneak out and go on an adventure.

Chasing after a serial killer in the night wind—doesn't that sound incredibly cool?

Ding-dong--

"Open the door! Starve-Proof Delivery!"

A doorbell rang; the delivery had arrived.

Ling Mengxue walked towards the door, then paused, suddenly realizing something.

Logically, nighttime is when Murder Demon are active, and the people in the town should all know that encountering one means certain death. Yet, some delivery drivers still "unscrupulously" roam the streets and alleys.

This industry must be quite high-risk, right?

There are actually people who dare to send it?

Indeed, money makes the world go round, while a lack of money makes one a ghost pushing the millstone.

Thinking about the food she had ordered, she seemed to understand.

Including Xia Keke's portion, the total cost was only a little over a hundred yuan, but the delivery fee alone is two thousand?

This is risking your life to make money!

Upon opening the door, a girl wearing a beige delivery uniform and carrying two large bags stood in front of it.

Large beads of sweat soaked her clothes. She was panting heavily, her face flushed, and tiny beads of sweat seeped from her slightly protruding forehead. It was hard to tell whether she was exhausted or just weak.

Looking up and seeing Ling Mengxue, the delivery girl was taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile and held up the bag, "Hello, young man, this is your delivery... Wow, it's so pretty, I feel like this trip was worth it!"

"..."

[img=700,393]htt I guess all you travelers have been very busy lately~

Chapter 148 We need to shout out the slogan!

Staring at the charlatan woman before her, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but twitch her lips, her expression somewhat complicated.

With things already like this, how can anyone still appreciate handsome men?

He asked with concern, "Are you alright? It's my fault, I should have known better than to order takeout."

And this "Never Starve" app sounds really off, since this place only has one food delivery app.
