"Are you sure the golden coins are in Dumpling’s room?"

Li Cheng asked Carlos again, and after receiving a positive response, he muttered, "There are too many rule-level technology artifacts around Dumpling. Whether it’s the Light Speed Elbow Strike or other means, any action could trigger an uncontrollable chain reaction—

like hundreds of Dumplings from the future taking a time machine back to now, for example.

So no matter what, we can’t disturb him. We’ll need to first distract Brian, who is intimately close to Dumpling..."

"I’ve got a way."

Lulina recovered from her shock, flipped her palm, and pulled out an old, simple bamboo fishing rod. It had no reel, no guides,

the line was cheap plastic, and there was only a Bluetooth speaker attached at the hook.

[Item Name: Sea King’s Amorous Fishing Rod] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

[Type: General Item]

[Quality: Rare]

[Special Effect: Gotcha. Controls the speaker, automatically producing different sounds to attract specific targets]

[Consumption: 8 Spiritual Power Value, one AA battery]

[Cooling Time: None]

[Use Conditions: Engage in network chat with at least 20 amorous contacts simultaneously without errors for 7 days]

[Note: The rod itself doesn’t possess any coercive ability, it merely attracts targets to willingly approach the hook position. Effect intensity accounts for 40% of Charm Value and can be affected by other skill items]

[Note: She’s a bad woman, don’t be fooled! Are you silly!]

[Note: Don’t worry, buddy, I’m just pretending to be captivated by her; this is all part of my plan. When they say I’m being played, it’s just that I like spinning around myself, she really gets me]

The remarks on the killing field items remained full of sarcasm,

Li Cheng smacked his lips and whispered, "A rare quality item, can it work?"

"Relax. Despite the low quality, this is a high-level internal item from the Thousand Throats Beast. Even the Tai Sui Demon Monster born without gender can be charmed into a daze."

Confidently giving a thumbs-up, Lulina applied a layer of invisibility potion on the fishing line and speaker,

then lowered the Bluetooth speaker down along the cloud’s edge to the lawn at Griffin Mansion.

Immediately, the speaker automatically emitted a coquettish voice, "Woof! Little Beauty broke up with you, you mutt who secretly went to the pet center for free breeding. No, you scumbag! I’m now looking for a cultured, preferably well-educated purebred dog as my boyfriend to spite you."

Brian, who was diligently writing a bizarre farm romance novel, heard the conversation outside the window,

his eyes instantly lit up, his little tail wagged uncontrollably up and down, and without regard for his novel, he shut his laptop screen, grabbed his blazer adorned with the Brown University alumni badge, and rushed downstairs.

Of course, Brian couldn’t find the talking "Little Beauty," as Lulina had installed the fishing rod on the live cloud layer, leading the Sea King’s fishing rod straight to the edge of Round Clam Town, taking Brian far away.

Well done.

Li Cheng gave Lulina a thumbs up, just about to quietly control the drone to open the window,

when Carlos suddenly reached out to press the remote control, his face turning pale, "There are Transcendents approaching.

Other players have entered too."

————

At the end of Round Clam Town, a petite girl appeared out of thin air from the void.

With shoulder-length tea-colored short hair, dressed in a school uniform, wearing bubble socks and brown short boots, even the frog mascot on her bag was recreated, bearing a striking resemblance to Misaka Mikoto.

The difference was... she was holding an iron-cast heavy manhole cover.

The Home World player named [Yu Meiqin] raised her head slightly, looking in the direction of Griffin Mansion, her brow unconsciously furrowed, "Not good, someone already got there before us."

Behind Misaka Mikoto, the other four members of last edition’s championship team stepped out of the shadows.
