Transformed into a heartthrob's simp, every day is a battleground.

Chapter 242 Another Case of Using Connections

The green dinosaur jumped onto Yan Xun's shoulder. "Let me see."

It looked down for a while, but still couldn't decipher the special characters on it, so it gave up and jumped onto Gui Yuchong's chest with a plop.

"So diligent?" Yan Xun closed the corrupt book. "He's performing CPR on Gui Yuchong again."

The dinosaur's movements were somewhat stiff, even appearing to be in slow motion.

It glanced back at Yan Xun's expression, preparing to test his attitude. [Brother Yan...]

Yan Xun put the Book of Corruption into his system inventory and squatted down next to Gui Yuchong.

Perhaps because a significant portion of his body has been recovered, Gui Yuchong is now almost indistinguishable from a living person, and his appearance has completely transformed from a boy into a young man, making him exactly the same as the Gui Yuchong in the Meimei Building.

Yan Xun stuck out a finger and poked his cheek. "So shameless?"

"She's quite good at putting on an act."

The green dinosaur was sweating profusely, feeling that Yan Xun was making veiled criticisms, but he had no evidence.

"What part of the map did Wen Yuanzheng give us?" Yan Xun asked directly.

The system opened its mouth, initially wanting to argue that it was a fragment of a soul, but then felt the excuse was too weak, and could only stammer, "I don't know."

[I only know that he's a part of this.] The system gestured for Yan Xun to go see Gui Yuchong. [We'll only know the specific part after entering the instance.]

Yan Xun turned to look at the system, "Aren't you considering the possibility of me going on strike?"

"A tonic!" The green dinosaur jumped down and hugged Yan Xun's leg. "If you don't complete the mission, I'll die too."

It looked up at Yan Xun with its big eyes, [Besides, don't you want to know why you got into this game?]

"It wasn't you who caused this?" Yan Xun asked, puzzled, not understanding why the system dared to ask him such a question.

system:【……】

That's not quite right.

Yan Xun stood up. "Don't worry, there won't be a strike."

He picked up the plush dinosaur that was clinging to his leg and brought it in front of him. "I also want to know how this villa ended up in the system space."

With the return of the Blue Gold portion of his memories, Yan Xun was now 100% certain that the unfinished villa in the system was his own.

In that memory, the man and woman who owned the villa had passed away, leaving only their child living in the villa.

In Maoqiu's memory, the basement was filled with ordinary odds and ends, but now the basement in the system contains some durable emergency food—the system cannot move things from the memories.

Therefore, in this blank memory, something major must have happened in the world I live in, which is why I filled the basement of the villa with all kinds of emergency supplies.

As for what it is, Yan Xun suspects it's related to that "God's Feeding Guide".

In the fast food restaurant's memory, his classmates clearly knew of Maoqiu's existence and mentioned more than once that Maoqiu was too weak. Even Yan Xun himself said that Maoqiu was too weak when he was educating Maoqiu.

"Do you think it's possible?" Yan Xun said, holding the plush dinosaur, "that we were both taking care of our health back then?"

"Everyone keeps them as pets?" Yan Xun stared at the green dinosaur. "What do you think of my guess?"

System: [Ha, ha, ha.]

【I have no idea.】

Looking at the green dinosaur, Yan Xun knew that his guess was pretty much right.

But he still didn't quite understand whether his original world was really that crazy.

Or did he misunderstand the meaning of "raising a deity"?

Yan Xun was still thinking when he noticed that Gu Jia was frantically sending him video calls. Not only Gu Jia, but Sun Zhao and Li Wu were also looking for him.

He had just accepted Gu Jia's call request, and before he could even see Gu Jia's face clearly, Sun Zhao shoved Gu Jia aside and sat down on the other end of the video call—

“Gu Jia told me everything!” Sun Zhao had just opened his mouth when Li Wu stood behind him and pressed his head down.

“Back and forth”.

"We'll talk when we meet."

……

Yan Xun arrived at the entrance of the Retrospection Guild as if he knew the way well.

One player's eyes lit up the moment he saw him—

"Hey, this guy."

Are you here for an interview at the Retrospection Guild?

He walked over to Yan Xun and whispered, "Call me, and I guarantee you'll pass."

Yan Xun: "..."

Such a familiar conversation.

“No need, I’ll go through the back door,” Yan Xun said.

"Damn it!" The man immediately grabbed Yan Xun and looked back suspiciously. "Keep your voice down!"

"You dare to be so arrogant after getting in through connections? Do you think Huisu is your family's business?"

He seemed a little skeptical as he spoke, "Tell me, what was the name of the person who got you special treatment?"

"He might be a fraud."

These words sounded familiar, Yan Xun said absentmindedly. Just as he was about to say that the person he had found was named Li Wu, he noticed a furtive figure in the hall, the bearded man he had seen last time.

Bearded man: "..."

Yan Xun: "..."

The bearded man gave an awkward smile.

The person speaking noticed Yan Xun's absent-mindedness and followed Yan Xun's gaze.

"Hey, that guy's always here swindling people." The man selling the spots shook his head. "He's different from me. I really have connections."

“Brother, listen to me, give me this amount.” The man held up five fingers, “I guarantee you’ll get into the Retrospection Guild.”

Just as Yan Xun was about to refuse again, he looked up and saw Li Wu.

"No need, I've already used my connections."

He greeted Li Wu as he spoke.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to come and pick me up in person again."

Last time, it was because they were going to participate in a dungeon together, and Li Wu gave him a pass that allowed him to go directly to the meeting room. After the dungeon ended, the short-term pass also expired, and Yan Xun had to go back to the lobby to queue up again.

"It was my carelessness." Li Wu walked up to Yan Xun. "I'll give you another pass."

He added, "No time limit."

"That's not right. How can someone like me, who got in through connections, get a long-term pass?"

Yan Xun, who was following behind Li Wu, noticed the stiffness in the man selling the spots and smiled at him, saying, "My connections have come."

“…Ah, oh!” The other person was stunned for a moment, then saw Li Wu looking at him.

"Spare me, sir!" The man confessed as soon as he saw Li Wu.

"I just wanted to earn some points to spend, I had no malicious intent whatsoever."

"Besides, isn't this guy also swindling people?" he said, pointing at the bearded man.

"Bullshit!" the bearded man roared. "I'm helping people write resumes, and you're lying about having openings. How can those be the same thing?!"

He then looked at Li Wu, "Vice President! You have to stand up for me!"

Li Wu: "..."

He wasn't really good at handling these kinds of trivial matters, and just as he was about to say something, Yan Xun interrupted him, "Let's go, let's go."

"Let's get down to business first."

As he spoke, he pushed Li Wu toward the hidden elevator at the back of the lobby.
