Wishdale, who had been sitting on Chen Ran's head the whole time, naturally knew what Chen Ran was up to.

But precisely because he knew this, Wishdale immediately began. "You just lured back a little girl, and you're already thinking about making new clothes for someone else and trying to please them? Tsk tsk tsk, our Chen, you big scumbag, really is a womanizer, falling in love with every girl you see, huh?"

Wishdale's strange and unsettling aura was more powerful than ever before.

There was nothing that could be done. Chen Ran had once given her an evening gown, but it was destroyed into rags during the final battle with the Primal Originium.

Even so, Wishdale couldn't bear to throw it away; he hid it away like a treasure.

And what was the result?

That bastard...

"Rest assured."

Chen Ran chuckled upon hearing this, "Little Wei, your clothes are being made too. You know, slow and steady wins the race, right? If you're in a hurry, I'll bring them to you right now."

"Ha, who cares?"

Although that's what Wishdale said, the thin demonic tail behind her was wagging quite happily.

"Oh, since you say so, Little Wei,"

Chen Ran spoke up again, "Then I'll just ask someone else to throw it in the trash can, anyway, Little Wei, you don't care."

"You dare!"

Wishdale immediately became furious. "You bastard, if you dare to lose it, I'll pluck all your fur off!"

Although Chen Ran and Wishdale bicker frequently, there's actually an even simpler way than ordering a custom-made one—

Every time Chen Ran pulled people out of the planet model, their clothes were also pulled out with them.

Therefore, based on this characteristic, you can simply buy directly from those planet models, saving the trouble of ordering.

However, just as Chen Ran was pondering whether to send them to a certain Worldline for a free shopping spree—

With a loud clang.

The sound of him slamming the door and leaving naturally caught Chen Ran's attention.

He turned his head and looked at the 'street' on the table.

Then they saw Zofia emerge from Centaurea's house with a flushed face.

"Hmm? Aunt, why did you come out so quickly? Did you finish catching up with that Little Platinum?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Ran naturally walked over, reaching out to grab Zofia as he asked this question.

This time, before Chen Ran could catch her, Zofia instinctively dodged backward.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ran immediately became interested and laughed, "Auntie, if I accidentally catch you doing something weird, do you think I'll do something strange?"

"... Please, please don't use such misleading words, okay?"

Zofia seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit excessive, so she coughed a few times.

When Chen Ran reached out to grab her a second time, Zofia didn't move this time, letting Chen Ran hold her in his hand.

"Never mind, I'm quite curious too, Auntie, what exactly did you and that Little Platinum girl talk about that led to this—"

Chen Ran looked into her palm, and Zofia's eyes were clearly evasive. Even when Chen Ran grabbed her and accidentally pressed, scraped, and kneaded her with his thumb and little finger, Zofia reacted quite strongly.

Chen Ran had roughly guessed what was going on, so she said, "But since you're already here, Aunt, why don't you stay here?"

"No, no, no, I won't..."

Zofia swallowed hard and quickly shook her head. "I can't... I can't afford the rent yet, so... cough."

"Rent? Oh, that's a shame."

Chen Ran was puzzled for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly understood:

No need to go to work? All you have to do every day is eat, sleep, and play on your phone?

What will the price be?

It's SeSe!

Okay, now that we've covered the benefits, what about the costs?

Although Chen Ran didn't know how Little Platinum came up with this so-called rent theory.

But it does fit the personality of that Little Platinum.

And it was obvious that Zofia truly believed this, which is why she said, "I just came to see Centaurea is doing. After I've seen her, I'm going back now."

Chen Ran didn't seem inclined to offer any explanation.

After all, what Centaurea said wasn't wrong.

Moreover, if Chen Ran really explained, then Wishdale, who was sitting on his head, would probably start being sarcastic again.

Even so, Chen Ran still said, "Don't rush, it's not like I won't let you leave, Aunt. But you've come all this way, why not stay and play for a few days? Anyway, I think Kazimierz is on the right track, and with Margaret and Uncle in the Lumen Family, what's there to worry about?"

Chen Ran spoke eloquently, but never mentioned anything like, "Why don't you invite your eldest and youngest nieces over to play for a few days?"

Because Zofia is conservative and innocent, it is relatively easy to either increase her favorability or win her over.

But if you add the sisters Margaret and Maria, it's a completely different story.

It's not that it's impossible to conquer, but the difficulty will definitely increase dramatically to the highest level in an instant.

Forget about aunt-niece play; if you even mentioned trying to seduce her niece, Zofia would definitely explode.

Unless you've already won over Zofia to the point of 'Oh ho ho ho ho'.

"Let's waive your rent for the next few days, Auntie."

Chen Ran said, "Or, Aunt, if you really can't stand it and say something like 'How can I get something for free,' then let Little Platinum pay for it."

"Well, it's not that bad..."

Zofia quickly waved her hand.

However, in the end, Zofia decided to stay here for a few days.

Perhaps it was because she was worried about actually getting pleasure from Centaurea... uh, because she was too tired?

But in short—

What Zofia feared did not happen.

Because Chen Ran was busy replacing the table with a larger one and then buying a bunch of toy houses.

What was originally just a miniature model of a 'street' was gradually expanded to the scale of a small town.

Then move the fish tank over and place it next to the table.

When the two were combined, the miniature model landscape was transformed by Chen Ran into a Seaside Resort Town.

It's a pity that although the landscaping was done, the town is really empty.

The shops were empty, the supermarkets were deserted, and the streets were deserted, making the place seem unusually quiet and deserted.

But there's no way around it; getting the goods is easy, but getting employees and pedestrians...

Take it slow. As Chen Ran arrests more people, the number of people staying in this Seaside Resort Town will gradually increase, and it will definitely become more lively. If they are interested, they can go and play role-playing games on their own.

For example, Centaurea went to work as a receptionist or something.

After all, Chen Ran couldn't just create a few NPCs like he was playing a game, could he?
