Mu Rufeng felt his body slowly begin to heat up.

At the same time, his stomach felt full.

He swung his fist, his eyes shining slightly. "My strength seems to have increased. And I only feel eight-tenths full. I drank less than half a bottle and I'm already stuffed."

Mu Rufeng looked at the Scarlet Eyeball, becoming more and more satisfied.

"It looks disgusting, but I never expected it to be so delicious and have such strong effects. Good, really good. I'll get two more bottles from the vending machine tonight."

Mu Rufeng quickened his pace.

In just a few minutes, Mu Rufeng returned to the Liquor Warehouse.

He had originally planned to browse Scarlet Preferred after eating.

But after thinking about it, it was still too dangerous.

"Sister Chunni, eating? Here, I brought this for you."

As soon as Mu Rufeng entered the warehouse, he saw Sister Chunni holding a bowl of rice and food, eating heartily.

"Oh my, Little Mu, you're too kind, bringing me something to drink." Sister Chunni said, but she immediately took the Scarlet Eyeball.

She had to buy a bottle of this every day, but if she could save one, she'd be delighted.

"Sister Chunni, I remember you didn't go to the cafeteria, did you?" Mu Rufeng said.

"Hmph, with my job, I can't leave the warehouse. I can only leave after work at night. I even cooked this myself this morning and brought it."

"How about it, want to try?" Sister Chunni said.

"Ah? This..." Mu Rufeng was momentarily unsure how to respond.

He really didn't want to eat it. The weird food here was either human flesh or some disgusting stuff. How could he bring himself to eat it?

"Haha, Sister knows you're a living person, don't worry. No human flesh. Corpse worm salad, it tastes quite good. I bought it all from Scarlet Preferred," Sister Chunni said with a smile.

"No thanks, Sister. My stomach is already very full," Mu Rufeng said, still unable to accept this kind of cuisine.

"Oh, right, did you download the Scarlet Preferred app on your phone?" Sister Chunni suddenly asked.

"I haven't downloaded it yet. Can my phone download it too?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"To download it on a phone from the human world, you need to get a phone card activated in the weird world."

"But living people can't get them activated anymore. However, I have a spare phone card here, so you can use it."

"Just remember to pay fifty yuan for the phone bill every month," Sister Chunni said.

"Thank you, Sister Chunni." Mu Rufeng was overjoyed at this and quickly thanked her.

"You're welcome." Sister Chunni smiled and took out a phone card, handing it to Mu Rufeng.

[Ghost Phone Card]: A secondary SIM card sold by the large corporation Ghost Communication within the weird world. Requires a monthly phone bill of fifty yuan. PS: The phone bills for the primary and secondary cards are shared. The owner of the primary card can recall the secondary card at any time.

Mu Rufeng was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

This phone card he received was a secondary card, which meant Sister Chunni definitely had a primary card.

Since the phone bills for the primary and secondary cards were shared, it meant that Mu Rufeng would cover the entire fifty yuan monthly phone bill.

Sister Chunni could then save fifty yuan on her phone bill each month.

She also didn't have to worry about the secondary card being lost. If Mu Rufeng died due to some incident, Sister Chunni could still recall the secondary card at any time.

"Sister Chunni, how do I pay the phone bill?" Mu Rufeng asked.

He didn't think fifty yuan a month was much for the phone bill. He was sure it would be very useful.

"Turn off your phone first, then insert the phone card. After turning it back on, there will be a Ghost Communication app on your desktop. You can pay directly through it," Sister Chunni said.

Mu Rufeng nodded, turned off his phone, and directly inserted the Ghost Phone Card into the second SIM slot.

When he turned it back on, an option appeared.

It offered two choices: enter the normal system and enter the ghost system.

"Choose the ghost system. The normal system can only be used in the human world, while the ghost system is used in the weird world," Sister Chunni reminded him.

"Okay." Mu Rufeng nodded and immediately selected to enter the ghost system.

The layout of the phone desktop was similar, but it had a more eerie, dark aesthetic.

There were many apps, including those from the real world, but they were all grayed out and couldn't be opened.

Only Messages, Calls, App Center, and Ghost Communication were active.

Of course, both Messages and Calls were empty, with no records.

"Here, I'll show you how to pay the phone bill." Sister Chunni directly helped Mu Rufeng open Ghost Communication.

Then she found a top-up interface within it.

"Take out fifty yuan," Sister Chunni said.

"Okay." Although Mu Rufeng didn't understand, he still took out five ten-yuan bills.

The next moment, a magical scene unfolded.

Black smoke suddenly billowed from the phone's camera, enveloping the fifty yuan bill before returning into the phone.

"Ding dong! Successfully recharged 50 yuan for phone credit. Your balance is now 50 yuan."

"Alright, if you open an account with Heaven and Earth Bank later, you can pay online directly. No need for cash anymore," Sister Chunni said.

Sister Chunni was very happy at this moment because she had saved another fifty yuan. And if this kid managed to survive, she might save fifty yuan every month.

"Heaven and Earth Bank..." Mu Rufeng pondered, feeling quite surprised.

This bizarre world was definitely not simple. It not only had communication companies but also banks. And this Scarlet Preferred... It seemed this bizarre world was similar to the real world.

The former was a place for bizarre life, while the latter was only for humans.

"Okay, I've downloaded Scarlet Preferred for you. You can log in directly with your phone number. Also, my phone number is already saved in your contacts. You can call me if you need anything," Sister Chunni said.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Chunni," Mu Rufeng said, taking the phone and thanking her.

"By the way, Sister Chunni, I saw a truckload of instant noodles arrive earlier. How come we're unloading instant noodles here at the Liquor Warehouse?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.

"Oh, you mean that? It's because the Snack Warehouse is already over capacity, so they arranged for the instant noodles to be unloaded here."

"Once these few days of promotion are over, the instant noodles won't be unloaded here anymore," Sister Chunni explained.

"I see," Mu Rufeng nodded.

"You can rest here for a bit. I'm going for my lunch break," Sister Chunni said, then transformed into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the drawer.

Mu Rufeng watched Sister Chunni leave, smiled, and then sat down on a nearby chair.

He took out his phone and opened the Scarlet Preferred app, intending to see what products were available.
