"You really know how to bargain, huh? But well..."

The other person paused, suddenly raised their hand and lifted the hood on their head, revealing their true face.

"Is this okay?"

Judging from the voice alone, the first impression Yunyou had of the person didn't differ much. The woman in front of them had long, silky brown hair and delicate facial features, with a confident and proud smile. Even facing a player with a red name, she didn't show any sign of panic. Instead, she exuded a seductive aura, especially with those enchanting eyes that couldn't be ignored.

Her perfect figure, covered by the loose cloak, couldn't be completely hidden. Coupled with her tall posture and flawless skin, if we ignored their completely different temperaments, she could even rival Qingyu.

Although Yunyou didn't want to admit it, they couldn't help but be somewhat dazzled when they saw the person remove their hood.

A graceful lady and a gentleman's sweetheart. Yunyou thought that they were considered quite calm just by momentarily losing their focus in the face of a woman of this caliber.

This lady... From any angle, it was definitely a win.

However, Yunyou was not swayed by the temptation in front of them. There was still one key issue they remembered clearly.

"The System's 'Intimate Contact Protection' is forcibly disabled before level 12. It seems like your chip can't be used to pay in installments at the moment, right?"

"That's undeniable. But judging from your expression, you seem to have some interest, don't you? I wonder if I can apply for installment payments with my looks as capital?"

Seemingly tempting Yunyou in person, but also feeling a bit different, Yunyou remained silent for a few seconds before shaking their head.

"I have to admit, your negotiation skills are truly impeccable. But unfortunately, you've veered off course a bit. I'm not interested in you."

"Oh? Is that so? But your expression just now said otherwise."

The lady in front of them laughed lightly. This laugh, paired with her stunning appearance, became even more alluring.

"If you saw something from my expression, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Let me put it this way, if you had approached me yesterday, you would probably be a dead man soon."

Yunyou sighed inwardly. Compared to this lady's beauty, the spawning point of the pet egg was even more tempting. After all, the beauty's plan was currently just an empty promise. Only someone foolish would believe it.

But Yunyou's current red-name status was clearly not the time to focus on business. Even if they had money, without the strength to protect it, they would only become a moving ATM for others. Besides, no one had much money now, and even if the pet egg was valuable, it couldn't be sold for an exorbitant price.

And more importantly, Qingyu, the stubborn girl, was by their side. Regardless of Yunyou's reasons, she would definitely not agree to be killed or taken advantage of because of them.

"So, did you agree?"

The lady smiled again, no longer arguing. She put her hood back on, concealing the invisible temptation, as if everything was going according to her expectations.

"Let's meet at the west village entrance in an hour. I have something to do."

Yunyou didn't answer, but turned around and waved their hand, leaving the alley.

Although they didn't receive a regular experience grinding task, they still gained something. The pet egg was something that became more valuable the earlier it was obtained. Overall, it was worth taking the risk.

But there was another problem now.

That was how to persuade Qingyu not to follow.

Although the chances were slim, that kind of place would not only be of no help if Qingyu continued to follow, but it would also be dangerous.

After searching for some NPCs in the village without success, Yunyou spent all their money on supplies and returned to the bar where Qingyu was.

All the way, Yunyou thought about how to approach Qingyu with this matter. However, upon entering, they saw an unexpected scene.

"Beauty, don't be so cold. Let's team up together. You just need to watch and share the experience. We can allocate most of the team experience to you, isn't that good?"Qingyu was extremely eye-catching in this not-so-large bar, not only because of her almost glowing beauty among the crowd, but also because the four male players surrounding her had already become the most conspicuous sight in the room.

"I've told you many times, I don't need it."

Qingyu frowned, feeling extremely annoyed by this situation, but had no choice. These guys had been sticking to her since earlier, and she couldn't get rid of them. Even if she left, they would definitely follow her. Besides, she had arranged to meet Yunyou here and couldn't leave on her own.

Poor girl, even though she had been bothered by these guys for a long time, she didn't think of using the private chat function to urge Yunyou to act faster. She just endured and sat here, waiting.

"Beauty, there are many benefits to forming a team. Currently, no one is at level 12 yet, and soloing is not a good option for safety. Since you are not staying in 'Istaran' and want to level up, right?"

"I already have a teammate. I'm just waiting for him here, so no need."

"It's okay. Bring your teammate along, and we can form a six-person team. It will actually improve the efficiency of grinding monsters."

"I said I don't need it."

Qingyu was annoyed by the opponent's persistent persistence. She knew Yunyou was a permanent red name, and she couldn't team up with ordinary players no matter what. But why was that guy so slow?

That jerk, come help me drive these people away!

The girl's mind had already raised such a thought, and her gaze had looked towards the door several times, but she still couldn't find the figure of that man, becoming more and more agitated.

In reality, although she had encountered such things before, people in reality still had some boundaries. Most would give up after a few refusals, or if they encountered more trouble, the police could handle it. It was rare to encounter stalkers and such.

But in the game world, Qingyu found that for most people, this boundary seemed to have been lowered. No matter how much she refused, she couldn't completely dispel the other party's obsession. And more importantly, there were no police to rely on here.

This completely different situation from reality made Qingyu feel a bit helpless.

However, in reality, encountering such a strong adhesive like this, apart from beautiful women like Qingyu herself, it was also rare in the game world.
