How to Remove the Lust Card

The threat of the Lust Card left Yu Yuan on edge.

But reason told him that waiting until nightfall to go out was the safest choice.

He casually opened the chat channel, wanting to see whether the bait he had cast earlier had drawn out anyone with ill intentions.

Only then did he realize that everyone in the channel was discussing the newcomers.

Twelve hours had already passed. The two replacement newcomers had entered the wasteland, and even their Hideouts had been built.

As the players discussed the two newcomers, they frequently brought up Fish Abyss Shelter.

After all, just one day after entering the wasteland game, its Hideout ranking had risen by 501 places in a row. Such a leap put every player to shame.

Naturally, the discussion was heated.

Yu Yuan had expected this. He quickly skimmed through the messages, but then his gaze turned cold, and a frigid smile curled across his lips.

That Moss Hut Shelter really was directing everyone else's attention again, and it happened shortly after he had listed the cigarettes.

[Moss Hut Shelter: Have you guys noticed that ever since yesterday, cigarettes have been listed every time @Fish Abyss Shelter rises in the rankings? Could that really be a coincidence?]

[Moss Hut Shelter: @Fish Abyss Shelter, if you found any rare supplies, why not trade with everyone? Did you discover a supply depot or something? Otherwise, how could your ranking jump 501 places in a single day?]

"What exactly is this guy after...?"

Yu Yuan was now certain that Moss Hut Shelter bore him ill will, but he had no idea where that hostility came from.

Were they planning to rob him after the newbie period ended?

Then there was no need to steer everyone else's attention toward him!

Did sending messages cost money or something?

Being targeted by someone for reasons he could not understand felt like maggots clinging to his bones, leaving Yu Yuan deeply unsettled.

He opened his shelter memo, marked Moss Hut Shelter as hostile, then checked the rest of the chat.

Under Moss Hut Shelter's deliberate guidance, Fish Abyss Shelter was indeed being mentioned frequently in the chat channel.

And whenever those people brought up Fish Abyss Shelter, someone would casually tag Cigar Hideout.

In an instant, Yu Yuan seemed to understand something.

Those people were probably with Moss Hut Shelter. They were making enemies for him.

Although no one knew who had listed so many cigarettes, with Moss Hut Shelter's guided analysis and those hired shills building up the mood, a few lines of conversation were enough to make it seem as though Fish Abyss Shelter was definitely the one secretly selling cigarettes.

And as though it was competing with Cigar Hideout for the tobacco business.

They had even arranged a shill army for him!

Yu Yuan memorized each of those Hideout IDs, then closed the chat channel.

Moss Hut Shelter was highly suspicious, but during the Beginner Protection Period, it could not affect Yu Yuan. As long as he did not let its actions affect him, developing his Hideout remained the top priority.

For now, the most crucial matter was still the Lust Card. It was urgent.

He casually picked up the book he had brought back from Room 506 last night and began flipping through it.

Then, upon seeing a certain heading, he froze for a moment and immediately returned to the page.

—How medieval pirates dealt with their physical needs on the vast sea.

When medieval pirates sailed at sea for extended periods, the ways they dealt with their physical needs were limited by the conditions of maritime technology and reflected the social culture and environment of the time.

The usual methods for satisfying physical desires were:

1. Same-sex relationships. This behavior was tolerated by certain pirate groups... (Tsk tsk...)

2. Violence during plundering. When pirates attacked merchant ships or coastal towns, abduction and looting often accompanied it... (That still requires running into women... Where am I supposed to find any in two days...)

3. Temporary partners. When docking at ports, pirates would visit brothels... (Come on, this is the wasteland. If it were a peaceful society, would I need you to tell me? I know better than you...)

4. Keeping animals. Sheep and goats could not only provide food, but at one time also became... substitutes. This gave rise to claims that sheep could bewitch humans, which later led to the demonic image of the black goat... (Isn't that just like those Indian guys... No... wait!!!)

When Yu Yuan saw the fourth method, he paused slightly and fell into thought.

The hope in his eyes gradually faded, leaving only struggle and a difficult choice.

A piece of news intelligence he had seen in the newspaper that morning surfaced in his mind.

—Eight Kerry Hill Sheep were roaming the ecological zone on the west side of Red Bank Park in 12th Block.

Hiss—

His heart resisted, but reason told Yu Yuan that this might be his final way to remove the Lust Card.

He opened the Fate Card again. Looking at that line of aphorism, Yu Yuan made up his mind.

"To stay alive! As long as I can stay alive... Huh, this woman..."

The death-defying resolve Yu Yuan had just worked up instantly collapsed.

With a look of delight, he picked up the pink wallet he had tossed aside.

He stared fixedly at the woman in the family photo... at the tear mole near her eye.

His memories flashed back to the conversation between Brother Biao and the other two outside Phoenix Tree Apartments last night.

—Monkey: That bitch was so damn hot, especially that tear mole by her eye. I just couldn't stop.

A tear mole. In other words, the woman Brother Biao and the others had mentioned was the one in the photo.

Yu Yuan's eyes slowly widened.

Wasn't this a woman?

As though recalling something, Yu Yuan immediately pulled the water bill from the wallet's inner compartment. Looking at the residential address written on it, he finally revealed a smile of immense relief.

"There's an address. With an address, I should be able to find this woman's home. Only one day has passed. She should still be alive."

Although he did not know whether Brother Biao and the other two had caught the woman at her home, having hope was better than having none.

He immediately opened the virtual map and began searching according to the address on the water bill.

It took only two minutes for Yu Yuan to find the residence on the map.

—68 Kanchino Street.

It was located on the west side of 11th Block, bordering 12th Block.

By the time Yu Yuan climbed out of the sewers and slipped behind a utility pole on the street under cover of night,

it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

After his brief rest that afternoon, his energy had recovered. He had also familiarized himself with the Glock 17 Pistol, ensuring that if he encountered danger, he could open fire immediately.

The Kukri, alloy folding hand crossbow, backpack, and messenger bag had become his standard gear.

Kanchino Street was a typical residential district, with detached houses lining both sides, each with its own lawn, garage, and basement.

But now, the street held only collapsed signboards, broken trees, overturned trash cans, and plastic bags scattered everywhere.

The lawns had entered full wild-growth mode. The half-meter-tall weeds, however, pleased Yu Yuan greatly.

Following the virtual map, he quickly found 68 Kanchino Street.
