Chapter 183

Lu Jing was still going.

“But later, I thought about it and realized the idea wasn’t very practical. If I really adopted a kid, I wouldn’t have time to raise him. But now that’s not a problem anymore. Once we get out of this damned place, I’ll have Xiao Qin be my son.”

Qin Nan: “???”

“I’ll leave him everything I own, and he can take care of me when I’m old. He’s so smart that even if I’m in the army, I won’t have to worry about a thing.” Lu Jing felt his plan was perfect.

Qin Nan had no choice but to remind him, “Are you sure Qin Weiyi’s parents would agree?”

Lu Jing froze. “Oh, right. He might still have parents.”

“What parents?” Qin Weiyi had only just walked over when he heard Lu Jing say that, and he looked rather puzzled.

At the sound of his voice, Lu Jing and Qin Nan both looked up. Once they saw who it was, they both shot to their feet in excitement.

“Jian Fan?”

“Xiao Qin!”

Lu Jing and Qin Nan asked in unison, “Why is it you guys?”

Qin Weiyi laughed and asked, “If not us, who were you hoping to run into?”

“We saw Yellow Hair just now. We were waiting here for him to come find us. Didn’t expect to run into you two first.” Qin Nan was in an especially good mood.

Hearing this, Jian Fan gave a faint, “Mm.”

So the person up ahead calling for Qin Nan had been Yellow Hair.

Lu Jing was still thinking about his earlier conversation with Qin Nan. After the initial joy passed, he looked at Qin Weiyi and asked, “Xiao Qin, are your parents still around?”

Qin Weiyi stared at Lu Jing in bewilderment. “My parents?”

“Yeah.” Lu Jing nodded.

“My parents are perfectly fine. Why are you asking about them?” Qin Weiyi’s clever little brain temporarily failed to turn that corner.

Lu Jing chuckled. “I just want to take you as my son, so I figured I should ask your parents’ opinion.”

Qin Weiyi: “???”

“Don’t even think about it. Impossible.” Qin Weiyi refused coldly.

I treat you like a teammate, and you want to be my dad? Absolutely not, Qin Weiyi thought with chilly disdain.

Watching Qin Weiyi refuse, Qin Nan quietly said, “Lu Jing has two apartments and a villa. I think you should give it some serious thought.”

Qin Weiyi: “???”

What the hell?

When Jian Fan heard Qin Nan, he turned to look at him and asked, “You want to be Lu Jing’s son?”

Qin Nan paused, then smiled. “At my age, I can’t exactly be his son. But if he’s willing to become sworn brothers with me, I’d be pretty willing. I don’t need his real estate. It’d be enough if he looked out for me more often.”

Jian Fan fell silent for a moment.

Lu Jing had already burst out laughing. Like they were already best buddies, he slung an arm over Qin Nan’s shoulders. “Sure. I’ll take you as my brother.”

“Big Brother, accept this bow!” Qin Nan immediately laughed and cupped his fists toward Lu Jing. Seeing that, Lu Jing laughed even harder.

Qin Weiyi looked at the two of them as if he were looking at a pair of idiots.

As for Jian Fan-

“I have property in Shanghai too,” Jian Fan said calmly, as if it were nothing at all. “Is buying a house that hard?”

Qin Nan: “…”

Thanks. He had been thoroughly humblebragged at.

As they spoke, Yellow Hair and Lin Junruo had already made their way over. From a distance, they saw the four people standing together.

There had only been Lu Jing and Qin Nan before, and now two more companions had appeared? Yellow Hair immediately perked up. Before he even got close, he started shouting toward them, “Qin Nan, we’re here!”

Jian Fan had seemed about to say something, but after Yellow Hair shouted, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.

He turned his head and looked at Yellow Hair and Lin Junruo, who were running toward them.

Yellow Hair took one look. Hey, Jian Fan and Qin Weiyi. Great. His heart finally settled.
“Finally found you guys.” Yellow Hair walked up with a smile and greeted Qin Nan and the others. Then he asked, “Where is everyone else? Have you seen them?”

Qin Nan shook his head. “I only saw you guys. But judging from the situation, the others should be nearby too. Should we look for them first?”

Jian Fan’s tone was casual. “Whatever.”

He wasn’t particularly concerned about what happened to the others.

Qin Nan thought it over, then said, “Forget the rest for now. We still need to find Mu Xin first.”

In this world, there were three Player they didn’t know, plus a dangerous individual like Xia Zeqin. Shi Chen was a little more reliable, but if Mu Xin ran into any one of them, it wouldn’t be a good thing.

Jian Fan paused.

It was as if he had only just belatedly remembered they had another teammate.

“Then let’s look,” Jian Fan said. After a moment, he added, “Focus on finding her.”

“Okay. Where do we start?” Qin Nan asked. Then he continued, “Lu Jing and I came from the greenhouse. I looked around there, but nothing stood out. There was another door over there, but I don’t know where it leads. What about you guys?”

Qin Weiyi said, “I circled around the Second Floor. Then I ran into Jian Fan. No other discoveries for now.”

Hearing that, Qin Nan’s gaze went straight to Jian Fan.

“I was on the first floor,” Jian Fan said. After thinking for a moment, he added, “Didn’t find anything.”

“We were on the third floor,” Yellow Hair immediately picked up the thread. “Lin Junruo and I were in a room on the third floor. It was probably the bedroom of this place’s owner.”

Hearing that, Lin Junruo added, “A little girl’s room. The Little Princess’s bedroom.”

After saying that, Lin Junruo thought of the matter with her card and quietly asked, “Um, did any of you discover anything? Like… related to the card image.”

The moment Yellow Hair heard that, he remembered the bitterness he had just suffered, and his face instantly fell.

As soon as Jian Fan heard Lin Junruo’s words, he looked at her and asked, “You found something?”

Looking at the group in front of her, all familiar faces, Lin Junruo didn’t hide it. She nodded and said, “Yes.”

“What did you find?” Qin Nan was immediately interested.

“I followed the content on the card image and had Yellow Hair imitate it with me. Based on the similarity, you can gain Character Card experience. But what this experience is used for right now, I still don’t know. Each person can only succeed five times. But…” Lin Junruo stopped there and looked at Yellow Hair.

Yellow Hair sighed. “She gained experience. I lost experience.”

Everyone: “???”

Yellow Hair briefly told everyone about his bitter experience.

After listening to Yellow Hair’s ordeal, Qin Nan silently patted him on the shoulder.

“There are two possibilities,” Qin Weiyi said. “First, if Lin Junruo gains experience, then Yellow Hair loses it. There should be some hidden setting. Second, it might be related to the similarity percentage. One hundred percent is too perfect, so it decreases, while thirty percent is too low, so it also decreases.”

Yellow Hair nodded. “That’s what I thought too. So… do we keep trying?” With that, his face crumpled miserably. “I’ve already had thirteen percent of my experience deducted.”

Qin Weiyi couldn’t help laughing.

“Let’s try ours,” Qin Weiyi said. “With data from a few more people, it’ll be easier to draw a conclusion.”

“What are your card images?” Qin Nan asked, then stated his own. “Mine is really simple. It’s just Princess Carry.”

After saying that, Qin Nan looked at Jian Fan with a bit of anticipation.

Jian Fan thought of his own card image and silently furrowed his brow.
