“That's all the people for now. At the tailor shop owner's place, I'm only getting a small discount. The scope isn't that big, and I need more of the downmarket to eat up these shares. Ye-ge, are you interested in joining me? Let's start a business together in the game, build an unprecedented commercial empire, surpass Sister Wei Liang, and become the commercial overlord of Mo Village!"

Goodness, he even knows about Wei Liang, he must have done market research!

He's never been this detail-oriented when practicing his kung fu!

"No need for cooperation, good luck to you. Also, Wei Liang is already dead. Mo Village has no leader. Maybe you really can become the next person to take over Mo Village's empty market."

"What?! Sister Wei Liang is dead?!"

Niu Niu was shocked. Wei Liang's death was only seven-tenths done; the news hadn't spread yet. There really aren't many people who know.

His face changed a few times, and Niu Niu's excited body trembled slightly.

"The opportunity has come! Ye-ge, lend me a hundred taels, and I'll definitely take Mo Village!"

"No money."

"Don't be like that! You're the captain..."

"Not lending."

"...Okay, I'll work hard on my own! Growing from a small merchant to a big merchant dominating Mo Village, that also has a special flavor."

In Niu Niu's eyes, a picture seemed to emerge of him, step by step, working hard and eventually growing into a wealthy merchant.

However, Fang Yue's words immediately pulled him back to reality.

"How was your sister's surgery?"

"Ah... the surgery was successful. A few days ago, I earned silver taels and exchanged them for real-world money, which was enough to cover the surgery costs. But the expenses are still very high, so I need to earn more money."

Most people's purpose in entering the game is to enjoy the game while making a little money on the side.

"Same as before, if you need emergency help, you can come to me."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll find a way myself."

Niu Niu was just saying this when his eyelids suddenly twitched. With a whoosh, he darted past Fang Yue and rushed out of the store.

Immediately afterward, there was a commotion outside.

Fang Yue walked outside with doubts, only to see Niu Niu pressing a person to the ground in the middle of the crowd, grinning foolishly at a girl with a single ponytail and a cold expression, drool still flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Waibi waibi!"

"I don't need your help."

What responded to Niu Niu was a cold reaction.

That indifferent gaze and expression seemed to reject people from a thousand miles away.

But that's also true. Niu Niu's image wasn't very good, and he couldn't speak. At least to NPCs, he was just an idiot who drooled.

"Aba aba!"

Niu Niu skillfully took out a notebook and pointed to the words on it.

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the crooked and twisted, epic-level disaster of ugly words, and barely recognized what the guy had written.

"Dear... Ni Dongmei girl, I like you, from the first day I saw you... Vomit, vomit, vomit!"

The latter part wasn't Niu Niu's words, but Fang Yue was simply disgusted by Niu Niu's words and wanted to vomit.

This is too disgusting, how could he write those corny words? Doesn't he have a face?

Moreover, you're chasing girls like this? Brother, look at your own conditions, okay? If you don't have a face, at least grow a mouth!

No mouth, no face, and you expect the girl to understand your tadpole-like writing and feel your love? I'm vomiting, no explanation!

*Pa.*

Before Fang Yue could vomit enough, Ni Dongmei slapped the notebook, knocking it to the ground.

"Don't pester me again."

She looked at Niu Niu with cold eyes, indifferent and disgusted. She snatched the robbed necklace from the person Niu Niu was suppressing, put it back around her neck, then brushed past Niu Niu, pushed through the crowd of onlookers, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Niu Niu, who was left in place, looked lost, so innocent!

"Niu Niu, what, are you chasing her? An NPC?"

"Yeah, her name is Ni Dongmei, and she's so pretty! She's my type!"

"...Getting excited over a pile of code, isn't that a bit..."

Although it's a bit inappropriate for Fang Yue to say this, for other ordinary players, the women in the game are basically a pile of code, right? You can get excited over this?

"Ye-ge, what do you know! Haven't you played a dating game before? That kind of pure love is the fun of the game!"

"...Then why haven't I seen you pursuing women in Guyue Village?"

"Guyue Village? A bunch of ugly women, what's there to chase... Wait, Ye-ge, you wouldn't say that Village Flower Ma Ling'er is good-looking, would you?"

Um... Ma Ling'er is indeed very good-looking, but it's a strange being.

Fang Yue has the memory of Ma Ling'er returning to her normal form, so he still recognizes Ma Ling'er's appearance.

He suddenly had two words that he hadn't thought of in a long time appear in his mind.

"Endurance!"

But after enduring for so long, he, Niu Niu, also wants to explode and tell Fang Yue not to be so arrogant in front of him! It's very hurtful!

"Ye-ge, you have no <3!"

He sent the message angrily and quickly received a reply from Fang Yue.

"Mwah, remember to send the guy you caught to the guard team, there's a reward, at least two or three hours of lifespan."

"Ye-ge, forever god!!"

Fang Yue rolled his eyes.

Niu Niu is just easy to deal with.

If it were before, Fang Yue would have been absolutely concerned about these two or three hours of lifespan.

But now, after breaking through the realm, his lifespan is as high as one year, which is definitely enough to squander in the short term, so there's no need to worry.

Moreover, Niu Niu caught the person, so it's normal to give him the reward.

It's Ni Dongmei, though...

Fang Yue frowned slightly.

After leaving the crowd, he had been following the direction Ni Dongmei left in, searching for her踪迹.

He had only heard Ni Dongmei's name from Tian Danzhiyuan Wu this morning, but he didn't expect to encounter her now.
