Chapter 42 We... Up...

Chu Tian’s right hand moved past the silk of her nightgown, traveling up to his neck, his fingers sinking into her hair.

“We… we’re going to be late for class!” he said, while his other hand lightly patted her exposed half.

“Mmm…” Luo Luo felt Chu Tian’s scorching palm and the heat emanating from his breath near her ear.

Flustered, she tried to grasp something, but her hand hung in the air, causing an unbearable, tingly sensation.

She writhed intensely, then suddenly trembled violently all over, a heavenly sound escaping her throat as her strength gave out.

Even the arms holding Chu Tian loosened powerlessly, her body slowly sliding down.

Chu Tian was startled. Luo Luo was so sensitive…

A moment later, Luo Luo’s face was flushed crimson. A wave of intense shame washed over her, and she struggled to push Chu Tian away.

“I… I’ll go back to my room to get ready!” Luo Luo said awkwardly before heading upstairs. To her surprise, her legs felt weak, and she nearly fell.

She quickly grabbed the stair railing, not daring to look back at Chu Tian, and fled up the spiral staircase as if escaping.

Watching Luo Luo’s retreating figure…

Chu Tian glanced back at the edge of the dining table. That was…

“I didn’t do anything!” Chu Tian thought to himself.

Then, suggestive images flashed through his mind. At that moment, Luo Luo was in her room, he wondered what she was doing.

After a while, Luo Luo came downstairs. Chu Tian had already finished getting ready and was waiting for her.

Seeing Chu Tian, Luo Luo blushed fiercely and shot him a glare. “Let’s go, we’re going to be late for class!”

After saying this, she was clearly very embarrassed, her face flushing even redder.

Chu Tian, being tactful, rubbed his nose, not engaging further. He simply opened the door, and the two of them walked out of the villa, one after the other.

At school, for him, it was another boring day.

Today, everyone was discussing the guild battle from last night.

And Chu Tian, the instigator, acted as a listener, simply smiling and offering no opinions.

Returning to the game that evening, it took him five hours to finally reach ‘Four Seasons City’. The moment he entered the city, a system message popped up!

“Ding… System Notification: You are the first player to arrive at Four Seasons City. Four Seasons City Repute Value +200.”

“Ding… War Zone Announcement: Player ‘****’ has become the first player to reach Four Seasons City. All functions of Four Seasons City are now activated.”

If he wanted to do something devious, he definitely needed to hide his character name.

Upon hearing the system prompt, Chu Tian took out the [Disguiser’s Mask] that Luo Guo had given him and put it on his face!

“Ding… Disguise function activated. Please confirm the identity you wish to disguise as: Player, NPC, Monster. Please choose.”

“Player.”

“Ding… Disguised as a player confirmed! Please select a player character name to copy!”

“Zong Heng Tian Xia.” A sly smile played on Chu Tian’s lips.

“Ding… Copy successful! [Disguiser’s Mask] uses -1.

Remaining uses: 11. Duration: 3 hours!

During the duration, you cannot utilize any assets, equipment, or any other items belonging to the copied player.

Anything acquired during the duration can be traded and transferred.

Upon expiration, anything obtained during this period will be directly converted into possession of the copied player.”

After the prompt, Chu Tian was enveloped in white mist. After a moment, it dispersed. Chu Tian raised his arm and looked at himself, indeed transformed into a mage class.

Opening his character display, his name had indeed changed to ‘Zong Heng Tian Xia’.

Confirming there were no issues, with a sense of trepidation, he headed straight for the property hall.

However, halfway there, he carefully re-read the system prompt and his heart sank. Three hours was not enough time to return to Shengjing City. Wouldn’t this just be accumulating assets for ‘Zong Heng Tian Xia’?

So, he turned back and headed towards the teleportation point. He entered the teleportation array, opened the control screen, and tried it.

He still couldn't teleport to Black Earth City, but the teleportation option to Shengjing City was now active. It seemed Lord Luo wasn't playing tricks on him.

It was because the main city hadn’t been activated yet, so teleportation was impossible. Since teleportation was possible, he wasn’t worried.

Chu Tian let out a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would really have to use his real identity to trade land. At worst, he wouldn't come here again. However, not being able to trick Huang Xueyi still left him a bit unwilling.

He stood up again and ran towards the property hall. Upon seeing the receptionist, Chu Tian cut to the chase and began selecting plots. He spent a full 9980 gold coins to acquire fourteen plots of land in Four Seasons City.

As he purchased the land deeds here, Huang Xueyi, far away in Novice Village 1370, continuously received system notifications.

“Ding… Congratulations on purchasing Four Seasons City Plot No. 1… Congratulations on purchasing Four Seasons City Plot No. 2…” Initially, Huang Xueyi was bewildered.

As Chu Tian, using his identity, swept through the prime locations of Four Seasons City, the number of land deeds under his name increased, and his mood became more and more excited. He thought he had encountered some great fortune.

As an old player of the game, he naturally knew the value of land deeds within the game. They could be purchased at a low price from the system and held for a period, yielding returns of hundreds of times, much like real estate.

Yesterday, he had been utterly defeated by the逆神盟 (Ni Shen Meng), causing his guild to disintegrate. He and all his loyal followers were killed, reset to level one, and had all their equipment dropped, making him nearly go mad when he logged in today.

But now, he was once again full of spirit. With so much land, not only would he rise again, but he could even establish a powerful force and annex all the smaller guilds.

He could also break free from the control of that old man, no longer needing his financial support, and carve out his own path.

His face radiant with joy and excitement, Huang Xueyi even took it upon himself to rush into monster hordes and start grinding.

His subordinates were stunned, thinking, “What’s gotten into the boss? He always stands in the back and freeloads experience…”

Twenty minutes later, Chu Tian left the property hall and headed directly for the teleportation point. He spent a full 20 gold coins to teleport back to Shengjing City. If Chu Tian didn’t have some savings, he might not have been able to afford such extravagance.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Municipal Hall, he was still worried about how he could meet the City Lord.

After all, it was very difficult for ordinary players to enter the Municipal Hall unless they had a specific quest.

Otherwise, forcing their way in would result in them being killed by guards and thrown into prison.

To his surprise, when he reached the entrance of the Municipal Hall, Captain Luo Lie of the Patrol Guard was guarding the gate.

Seeing Chu Tian with the character name ‘Zong Heng Tian Xia’, he didn’t say much and directly led him inside.

It turned out that Lord Luo had instructed that for the next ten days, any player who came to the Municipal Hall could be brought directly to see him.

It seemed Lord Luo knew that no one else would come during this period and had arranged for Luo Lie to guard the gate to facilitate his quest completion.

He just wondered what the ultimate outcome of the conflict between the NPCs would be and what benefits they would gain!

Upon meeting Lord Luo, Chu Tian didn't waste time and directly transferred the land deeds using the identity of ‘Zong Heng Tian Xia’.

Lord Luo didn’t say much, perhaps fearing system monitoring.

After completing the procedures, Chu Tian removed the [Disguiser’s Mask].

“Ding… Congratulations on completing one-half of [Lord Luo Guo’s Commission for Shengjing City]. Luo Guo’s Favorability +150. Current Favorability: 0.” As soon as he took off the mask, a prompt sounded in his ear.

Chu Tian chuckled internally. So his favorability with him was actually negative all along!

After completing the quest, Luo Guo remained indifferent to him, completely lacking the previous anthropomorphic demeanor, instead displaying a mechanical quality.
