Du Lai stared at Bai Youwei’s retreating figure in a daze.

A man beside him threw an arm over his shoulder and chuckled, “Du Lai, I remember you had a couple of puzzle pieces in your possession, didn’t you?”

Du Lai blinked and then laughed, “Yes, but I thought they were useless after I used them, so I donated them to the organization.”

“You donated?” The man seemed taken aback and wore a skeptical expression, “Both puzzle pieces were donated?”

“I had no choice but to donate.” Du Lai forced a bitter smile, “As you know, I was severely injured when I managed to make it out of that hide-and-seek game. I used up all my tools and had to donate the puzzle pieces in exchange for medical supplies.”

The man listened with a mixture of belief and doubt, “Is that so…?”

“That’s the situation.” Du Lai gave a casual laugh and gently shrugged off his arm, “I still need to find my claw machine partner, so I’ll chat with you later~”

With a lightness to his steps, he strode away in no time. Turning a corner, he left the exchange point entirely.

In the deserted alleyway, Du Lai looked around to ensure he wasn’t being followed.

He pulled out two puzzle pieces from his clothes, weighing them in his hand and a smirk curling on his lips.

Tools were not something scarce. Anyone who had survived so far in the city would have a few tools, more or less. But it was exceedingly rare for someone like Bai Youwei to expose three tools at once. freēnovelkiss.com

Because tools are used up as much as they are gathered, everyone tends to use one or two after entering the game. Unless they are absolutely useless, they won’t be brought to the trading point for exchange.

Bai Youwei’s tools were without a doubt extremely tempting.

Those with puzzle pieces can exchange them for her tools;

Those without puzzle pieces can steal puzzle pieces from others.

…or one could be more direct, by stealing Bai Youwei’s tools.

“No. 5 Kraus Road, Room 102.” The young man in the deep alley squinted his eyes, a deep secretive smile on his face, “Well now… things are sure to get rowdy.”

On their way back, Chang Weicai asked Bai Youwei in confusion:

“Weiwei, don’t we live in Room 101? Why did you write a wrong address?”

“It doesn’t matter~ Anyway, if anyone knocks on the door of Room 102, we’ll hear it from Room 101~” Bai Youwei replied nonchalantly.

“But what if we don’t hear…”

“If we don’t hear, the person can just leave a note, or they can come back some other day. It won’t delay anything~”

Chang Weicai considered it for a moment then nodded, “You’re right.”

Lun Ang, who was behind them, had a silent exchange of looks with Yan Qingwen.

Lun Ang silently mouthed in amazement: This girl is so clever…

If anyone attempts to do anything shady at Room 102 in the middle of the night, they’ll definitely come up empty, and might even end up being counter-attacked by the people in Room 101.

Yan Qingwen, resigned to Bai Youwei’s tactics, could only shake his head with a laugh.

The five of them chatted and walked, quickly reaching the entrance to their residential community.

As they entered the community, they saw Li Li leading a group of people towards them!

“Yan bro!” Li Li called out enthusiastically.

Although they had been apart for only half a day, it felt like they hadn’t seen each other for days, even his overall appearance seemed changed.

Now, Li Li had returned to the SCO’s research team, promoted to one of the core members of the organization, living with other SCO researchers, and allotted four bodyguards for protection when he is out and about.

Now, he stood before them glowingly rejuvenated, and for some reason, the phrase “returning to one’s native place in glory” popped into Bai Youwei’s mind, making her want to laugh.

“I told Professor Song about what you all did, the professor is very grateful! He hopes to meet you guys in person.” There was a note of complacency in Li Li’s voice, “There’s a banquet being held at the headquarters this evening, the professor asked me to come and pick you all up!”

With that, his gaze landed on Bai Youwei, his tone becoming unconsciously careful.

He cleared his throat, saying, “And you… along with Shen Mo, are also invited to attend the banquet.”

“Oh.” Bai Youwei responded indifferently, “I don’t feel like going.”
