"Li Fei, before we part ways, there's something I need to remind you about," Zhao Yan said, looking at Li Fei.
Li Fei, holding an intermediate enhancement potion and a special forces training manual, said, "What is it, Brother Zhao?"
Although he had already incurred a massive debt of 22 points before even opening, he wasn't worried at all because his two debtors were an exceptionally rare breed of good people.
Yes, they were indeed a rare breed.
They weren't even human.
One was more dog-like than the other. (˘•ω•˘)
"After using your body to complete such an incredible mission in Laya Country, other members of The Club might actively contact you. You must let me know if that happens," Zhao Yan sternly instructed.
Ordinary people would just brush it off, unaware of The Club's existence and considering that incident a miracle.
But as fellow members of The Club, they would undoubtedly suspect Li Fei of being a member too. As the first member exposed in public, someone was bound to contact him.
Zhao Yan wanted to organize The Club's members on Blue Star, but he also knew that after existing for so long, there might already be someone doing that behind the scenes.
Those people would then be his potential rivals!
Li Fei asked in bewilderment, "Brother Zhao, is there a problem with members of The Club contacting each other?"
"Alas," Zhao Yan sighed, a worried look on his face. "You don't understand. Many members of The Club are malicious at heart. They love to deceive and take advantage of newcomers like you. I can't bear to see someone as innocent as you being tricked by bad people."
Chen Han stared in disbelief. Good lord, aren't you the malicious bad guy in The Club yourself?
You're almost conning him into a limp.
"Yes, Brother Zhao, don't worry," Li Fei said, touched to the point of hot tears welling up in his eyes. He choked up, "Brother Zhao is too kind. To exaggerate a little, I only regret being born a man and unable to repay you in kind!"
"That's easy to fix. The point store must have a product to change genders," Chen Han helpfully suggested.
Li Fei: ⊙_⊙
I was just saying it casually.
Zhao Yan smiled slightly. "Why bother with such trouble and waste points? What's wrong with being a man? Though life is short, I'm rather long-lasting. Why not give it a try?"
Li Fei: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)！！！
Chen Han: (°Д°≡°Д°)！！！
"Hahaha, I'm just joking," Zhao Yan laughed, seeing their horrified expressions.
"Phew——"
The two exhaled in relief at the same time.
Chen Han wiped the sweat from his brow. "Damn, I was actually worried you were into both siblings."
"Don't even think about it. You're not worthy of me, let alone my sister-in-law," Zhao Yan mocked.
Chen Han's eyes widened in anger. "I could see right through you—your very essence is that of a scoundrel!"
"As Luxun once said, every person in the world is a thief," Zhao Yan quoted calmly.
"Umm... Big Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, I'll be going now," Li Fei said, preparing to retreat after narrowly saving his chastity.
Neither of them paid him any attention as he slipped away.
Chen Han looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Given your character, and learning from the previous experience with Xu Xue, you're not allowed to be alone with my wife for more than a minute from now on."
From this moment on, guard against fire, theft, and Zhao Yan!
"What the hell? That's too much, at least three minutes," Zhao Yan felt his brother-in-law had gone insane.
Chen Han's tone was firm. "Absolutely not. Three minutes is enough to finish and get dressed again."
"You... you're full of bull," Zhao Yan was stunned.
Chen Han suddenly realized what he said, his face turning red as he stuck out his neck. "No, not me, I was talking about a friend..."
"No need to explain. Explaining is just a cover-up. No wonder you're so sensitive about this—it turns out you're the one who can't perform!" Zhao Yan had already seen through everything.
Chen Han stubbornly refused to admit it. "What do you know? I'm a businessman. Time is money. I don't want to waste precious time on meaningless things like that. It's about having a bigger picture!"
See, his perspective was grand.
"Enhancement potions can improve that area and help you start anew," Zhao Yan helpfully suggested.
Chen Han's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"You're not saving time anymore?" Zhao Yan sneered.
Chen Han said seriously, "My wife doesn't need to save time. I'm willing to sacrifice my time for her. In this aspect of doting on my wife, you should learn from me."
With that, he left Zhao Yan with only his majestic back view as he strode towards the point store.
Zhao Yan blinked a few times. "Pah!"
"Spitting on the ground will cost you fifty points, you know," a gentle, soft voice came from behind.
Zhao Yan turned to see Susu. "A mere fifty points is nothing. Just charge me five thousand."
"Points," Susu smiled faintly.
Zhao Yan's expression turned serious. "Spitting on the ground isn't a good habit. We should put an end to such behavior!"
"You learned that shameless attitude from someone," Susu rolled her eyes with a seeming pout and smile.
Zhao Yan looked utterly bewildered. "I'm shameless?"
Susu: "........"
This was probably the highest level of shamelessness.
"Susu, let me ask you something. Can I allow people from other worlds to come to my world through The Club?" Zhao Yan grew serious.
Li Fei had already been exposed. If someone contacted Li Fei, it meant there was indeed an organization of Club members on Blue Star. He had no intention of serving under someone else.
So he would have to compete with them, but since he started late, if he couldn't win, he would have to bring in reinforcements. Luo Jiajun with his squirrel-like personality could barely qualify as one.
Luo Jiajun: Did you even consult me?
Susu gently stroked the rabbit in her arms as she replied, "As long as you have enough points, you can."
She was wearing a white strapless dress today, cradling a red rabbit in her arms, which perfectly complemented her white hair, giving her an ethereal air.
"That's good then," Zhao Yan felt relieved. Luo Jiajun might lack everything else, but he was sure to have accumulated a lot of points.
He looked at the rabbit in Susu's arms. "That rabbit of yours is really white and plump. Can I touch it?"
"What kind of look is that? It's clearly red..." Susu suddenly realized and spat out angrily, "Get lost!"
"Red? My apologies, I'm color blind," Zhao Yan calmly furrowed his brow without changing his expression.
Susu scolded, "More like color wolf."
"How could there be a red rabbit? Can you get me a pet with a unique trait?" Zhao Yan showed interest in examining the red-furred, red-eyed little rabbit.
Susu replied, "Next time for sure."
Zhao Yan smirked. That meant the opposite.
"Don't you ever go out and wander around instead of staying in The Club all the time?" Zhao Yan curiously asked.
Susu smiled but didn't answer.
Finding it fruitless, Zhao Yan shrugged. "I'm off then."
"That's the most comfortable sentence I've heard from you today," Susu teased.
"Then I'll strive to let my mouth bring you more comfort in the future. My silver tongue once aspired to debate with ancient scholars, so how could I let it be known for mere wordplay?"
With that, Zhao Yan swiftly vanished, leaving Susu rolling her eyes behind him.
