Eilili was eager to know what about her body didn't appeal to Jiang Chen.

But no matter how she looked, she couldn't find any flaws, except that her pair of rabbits were slightly smaller...

"Could it be that the master prefers them bigger?"

Eilili looked down at her chest and muttered to herself, appearing deep in thought.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Chen awkwardly cleared his throat, thinking to himself, she's only sixteen or seventeen, how big does she want them to be?

"Ah!"

Eilili was slightly startled and quickly looked at Jiang Chen, a hint of joy in her eyes. "Master, you're back!"

"Why are you still here?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Master, this is where I live now. Since I'm following you, I can't go back to the rear garden. Wherever you stay, I stay," Eilili explained, looking at Jiang Chen. "It's already rest time. Are you going to sleep, Master?"

"I don't need to, you go rest."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and left the small room directly.

Inside, it was just too enchanting.

Outside, Jiang Chen opened the marketplace, and a transparent screen appeared before him.

Since the chapel was located within the safe zone, the marketplace could be freely accessed here.

Jiang Chen discovered that all seven pieces of silver-level equipment he had previously listed had been sold.

Three of them sold for 400 gold each, and the other four for 350 gold each.

The total transaction amounted to 2600 gold.

After deducting a 1% service fee, he earned a total of 2574 gold.

Adding the 55 gold in his backpack.

Jiang Chen now had a total of 55 gold.

Of course, this wasn't all his wealth. In his shop in Giant Deer City, he had six pieces of gold-level equipment for sale.

They could easily fetch over 100,000 gold, which was the real deal!

Jiang Chen then opened the real currency trading section of the marketplace.

Here, RMB could be used for transactions, and gold coins could be listed, just by linking a bank card.

Jiang Chen had already granted bank card permissions.

"List 30,000 gold. The Divine Quality Shop hasn't refreshed in the past two days, so I don't need much money. Once it refreshes, those gold-level pieces should sell."

After a brief consideration, Jiang Chen decided to list the gold coins on the marketplace.

Currently, the price of 1 gold on the marketplace was around 116 RMB.

However, in the marketplace, using real currency transactions not only incurred a 1% service fee but also a tax deduction of up to 10%!

Therefore, bypassing the marketplace's gold coin market, commonly known as the black market, merchants were buying gold at around 104 RMB.

Even so, it was higher than the post-tax price, and many were willing to sell their gold to merchants.

Similarly, many people preferred to buy gold from merchants.

Because the merchants' gold was cheaper.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

For instance, merchants bought gold at 104 RMB and sold it at 105 RMB.

Much cheaper than the marketplace.

However, many people were scammed.

After all, private real currency transactions were unprotected.

So, many still preferred to buy gold coins on the marketplace.

Jiang Chen wasn't afraid of being scammed; he simply listed on the marketplace because he couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

Quickly, Jiang Chen divided the 30,000 gold into 10 portions, each with 3,000 gold, and listed them on the marketplace at a price of 115 RMB per gold.

This way, they would sell faster.

Within a few minutes, Jiang Chen saw a message pop up in the trading system.

["Your listed '3000 gold coins' have been sold. A 1% service fee and 10% tax have been deducted. The remaining amount has been transferred to your linked bank card. Please check it promptly."]

"Three hundred thousand in hand!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

However, the remaining 9 portions of "3000 gold coins" had no movement for the time being.

After all, it wasn't a small amount. Each portion of gold cost over 300,000 RMB, and finding a buyer quickly wasn't easy.

"Probably will take a few hours to sell?"

Jiang Chen muttered to himself and directly closed the marketplace.

Just as he was about to log off and rest, he received a message from a friend.

It was from Qing Ying.

[Qing Ying: Brother Mortal World, I saw you logged off just now. Why are you back online?]

[Mortal World: Came to handle some things. By the way, are you still at Skyward Academy?]

[Qing Ying: Yes, Xiao Yao and I have learned a new skill, but to learn more, we need to complete some academy tasks. For now, we're just leveling in the training room and were about to log off.]

[Mortal World: By the way, where's Yuna?]

[Qing Ying: That Dean Bei Ming from Skyward Academy came to find Yuna earlier, saying he could help her level up.]

"Dean Bei Ming?"

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment. He had a good impression of the old man, considering him a rather upright person.

Moreover, the influence behind him was enormous.

He had many students, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had taught students all over the world.

For instance, Qian Ye, the Lord of Skyward City, was once his student.

So even Gandalf had to give him some respect.

Bei Ming's willingness to help Yuna was definitely a good thing!

As Jiang Chen was thinking, Qing Ying sent another message.

[Qing Ying: By the way, Brother Mortal World, what time are we logging in tomorrow?]

[Mortal World: As for tomorrow, I'm not sure yet. I have some matters to deal with, so it might be late. Feel free to arrange your schedule if you're online.]

[Qing Ying: Got it.]

Afterward, Jiang Chen closed the chat interface and chose to exit the game.

He planned to move tomorrow, as there seemed to be foreign forces looking for him, and it was best to move quickly.

"Better sleep early, so I can wake up tomorrow."

In the bedroom, Jiang Chen took off the gaming helmet and went to the bathroom for a shower.

Then he lay on the bed and took out his phone.

He needed to find a good place to rent.

"If it's in this city, I won't consider it. I'll go directly to the neighboring provincial capital, Star City."

Jiang Chen opened a rental website and selected Star City as the location.

Then he started browsing.

It wasn't until two in the morning that Jiang Chen found a place, put down his phone, and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen packed a suitcase, gathering some important items.

For instance, the gaming helmet.

Then he went directly to the landlord to terminate the lease.

"Xiao Chen, why are you moving out when you're living so well?"

The landlord was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties.

"I'm planning to develop in the Capital City. Here's the key to the house."

Jiang Chen handed over a key and continued, "By the way, I accidentally broke your door lock. Check if the deposit covers it, and if not, I'll make up the difference."

Moving to the Capital City was just a cover; Jiang Chen didn't want to reveal his whereabouts to the landlord.

At the same time, he wanted to throw off those looking for him.

After chatting with the landlord for a bit, Jiang Chen waved goodbye and left.

After leaving the community, Jiang Chen put on a mask.

Then he immediately called for a ride-hailing car and headed straight to Star City.

After nearly three hours in the car.

Jiang Chen arrived at Lotus District, No. 1 Manor in Star City.

This was the place he had spent a long time choosing last night.

No. 1 Manor was a villa area.

He found out online that there were three villas available for rent here.

Jiang Chen directly called the real estate agency he found online.

"Hello, this is New Horizon Real Estate Agency. How can we assist you?"

The voice on the phone belonged to a young woman.

"I want to rent a house at No. 1 Manor."

Jiang Chen got straight to the point.

"No. 1 Manor?"

There was a noticeable pause on the phone, followed by, "Alright, sir. When would you like to view the house?"

At the same time, Jiang Chen heard a commotion on the phone: "Someone wants to rent a villa at No. 1 Manor? Let me handle this case. I guarantee success!"

Jiang Chen said directly, "Right now. I'm at the entrance of No. 1 Manor. Please arrange it as soon as possible."

"No problem, we'll be right there."

After the other party said this, Jiang Chen clearly heard a faint voice: "Sister Yuan, this is my case, please don't take it..."

Of course, this had nothing to do with Jiang Chen, and he hung up the phone.

Six or seven minutes later, a woman in a black skirt, light makeup, and high heels approached, looking about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

She had a mature charm.

"Handsome, are you the one looking to rent a villa at No. 1 Manor?" the woman inquired.

Jiang Chen nodded. "That's me."

The woman immediately brightened up, a hint of a seductive smile on her face. "Hello, I'm Gao Yuan. How should I address you?"

She extended her hand as she spoke.

"Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen also reached out to shake her hand.

As soon as their hands touched, Gao Yuan lightly scratched Jiang Chen's palm with her fingertips, full of flirtation.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Let's go, Mr. Jiang. I'll show you the house."

Gao Yuan didn't mind and kept her seductive smile.

But just as she finished speaking.

A crisp voice came: "Sister Yuan, why did you take my case?"

It was a young woman, about twenty years old, with chestnut-colored hair, quickly approaching.

"Who took your case? Whoever gets the contract, it's theirs."

Gao Yuan looked at the newcomer, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Jiang Chen also looked over, his expression slightly stunned.

Because this chestnut-haired woman seemed familiar?

"Sister Yuan, I clearly answered the call, and you rushed over to take my client. What's going on?" the young woman said, a bit unwilling and aggrieved.

"Whoever signs the contract, it's theirs. If you can't keep the client, what's the point of saying this!"

Gao Yuan sneered, then turned to Jiang Chen, her face quickly returning to a seductive smile. "Mr. Jiang, let's go see the house."

The speed of her change in expression was so fast, it was a pity she wasn't acting in Sichuan opera.

Jiang Chen mentally noted, then said, "Wait."

"What is it?"

Gao Yuan was slightly taken aback.

"What's your name?"

Jiang Chen looked at the chestnut-haired young woman.

He wanted to figure out who she was.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Wei."

The woman named Xiao Wei quickly replied.

"Xiao Wei?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then remembered. Wasn't she the female warrior from that non-mainstream team before?

Jiang Chen had a deep impression of the blondie and Dashing Young Master Leng in their team.

No wonder she seemed familiar.

This world is truly not too big, yet not too small.
