"Ah, is this really okay?" Lin Feng glanced at Eula, his cheeks slightly flushed. Wasn't she supposed to be dealing with her 'monthly visitor' today?
"I've already told you, follow my instructions quickly!" Eula continued staring at her phone, urging him on.
"Uh... alright then!" Lin Feng obediently set down his phone and placed his hands on his clothing, preparing to undress.
Seeing no movement from Lin Feng after some time, Eula turned around abruptly, only for her face to instantly flush crimson.
Lin Feng had removed his clothes and was now looking somewhat sheepishly at Eula, asking hesitantly, "Should I take off the pants too?"
"Hold on, what are you doing?!" Eula swiftly looked away, avoiding eye contact with Lin Feng.
"But didn't you say to strip? Okay then..." Confused, Lin Feng spread his arms wide, closed his eyes, presenting himself as if ready for any action.
"No, I meant in the game, the game!" Eula felt torn between laughter and tears; how could someone's comprehension be so poor? What kind of person did he think she was? Did he truly believe her intentions were that inappropriate?
"In-game..." Realizing his misunderstanding, Lin Feng's face flushed red all the way to his neck, feeling utterly embarrassed.
He promptly removed his level 3 armor vest and, without hesitation, also discarded his level 3 helmet onto the ground.
Eula swiftly donned the gear, then circled around Lin Feng to inspect him further.
Lin Feng approached, tearfully picking up a level 1 helmet and vest.
"What's this black weapon on your back? Throw it down for me to see!" Eula glanced at Lin Feng, her tone casual.
"Black...?" Lin Feng opened his backpack and tossed out his level 4 armor - the frying pan.
As soon as he let go, Eula picked it up and waved it a couple of times.
"Not bad! Consider it requisitioned!" She nodded and sprinted ahead.
After Eula's raid, Lin Feng had transformed from sporting a luxurious full set of gear to looking like a ragged prince.
Despite this, Lin Feng remained incredibly happy, bouncing excitedly behind Eula.
"Hmm... Can we climb this tree?" Eula looked at a large tree and asked.
"No!" Lin Feng replied firmly.
"Really?" Skeptical, Eula bumped her character against the tree twice, confirming its solid presence.
Immediately after, Eula drove over a vehicle and instructed Lin Feng to stand beneath the tree.
"What are you trying to do? It's impossible to climb!" Lin Feng felt somewhat helpless, having attempted this before without success.
"Stand there!" Eula commanded coldly, leaving Lin Feng no choice but to obediently position himself under the tree.
Eula accelerated full throttle and crashed directly into Lin Feng. In an instant, Lin Feng soared through the air, only to land and get stuck in the branches of the tree.
"Success!" Eula smiled, feeling a small sense of accomplishment.
Next, Eula headed towards nearby houses, instructing Lin Feng to draw attention by firing his weapon. Soon, with Lin Feng's gunfire as a distraction, Eula eliminated numerous enemies. Lin Feng's sole task was to finish them off with final shots.

As soon as Zhongli left, Venti promptly sat down in his recliner, gleefully pulled out his phone, and launched PUBG Mobile.
After all, with Zhongli gone, how could he resist slacking off? It would be a disservice to his title as Barbatos!
Although not currently streaming, Venti couldn't afford to lose his skills. He always prided himself on being a technically proficient broadcaster, yet surprisingly, he had never achieved a single chicken dinner.
Venti played cautiously, employing a strategy of avoiding unnecessary confrontations and steadfastly refusing to engage in rolling battles.
Soon, Eula eliminated her enemies, and the toxic circle began shrinking.
However, Lin Feng remained stuck in the tree, unable to descend no matter what he tried. With no other choice, Eula let Lin Feng suffer under the toxic circle's effects while also instructing him to toss out all his healing items, unwilling to waste them.
After collecting the meds, Eula swiftly departed without looking back, showing no sentimentality.
Shortly after Eula left, Venti emerged and headed towards the shrinking toxic zone.
Seeing this from his perch in the tree, Lin Feng chuckled and immediately took aim, firing several shots at Venti.
"You have been eliminated by Eula's Husband!"
Venti, gazing at his glowing green loot box below and Lin Feng standing atop the tree, fell deep into contemplation.
From that moment on, driven by this painful experience, he resolved to become the ultimate sneaky player!

Eula glanced at the kill notification and immediately shot a look at Lin Feng. In the heat of battle, she hadn't noticed.
"Ahem, that's just a random name assigned by the system!" Lin Feng coughed, hastily defending himself.
"Hmm..." Eula responded coldly, but inside, her heart felt warm.
Shortly after, Lin Feng died within the toxic zone, but Eula successfully led them to victory, securing their "chicken dinner."

"My apologies, but we were unable to fulfill our part of the 'contract.' The half-immortal creature known as Cocogoat... We genuinely have no leads," Zhongli said, shaking his head with a hint of remorse as he looked at Qiqi.
Qiqi appeared bewildered and softly replied, "Ah. Very disappointing. Although it's alright, I am quite disappointed."
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Paimon scratched her head and turned to Lumine. "Wah—seeing Qiqi like this, why do I suddenly feel incredibly guilty!"
Lumine also felt a sense of guilt and couldn't help but ask, "Qiqi, do you have any other clues?"
Qiqi shook her head slowly and said, "Hmm... Cocogoat milk is delicious. Much better than regular goat milk. That's how I knew they must be half-immortal creatures."
Observing the group's guilt-ridden expressions, Qiqi sounded slightly disheartened as well, "I'm sorry. My memory isn't very good. So, I wrote down the name of that milk... Let me see..."
Qiqi pulled out a notebook and began carefully flipping through it. Moments later, she exclaimed with delight, "Ah, right! It was called coconut milk, a delicious type of milk..."
The group fell silent, casting puzzled glances at Qiqi.
At that moment, Zhongli opened his eyes and gently shook his head, saying, "My apologies to both of you. In my pursuit of fairness with Qiqi, I hastily agreed without proper consideration..."
Paimon felt somewhat helpless; even she, with her intelligence, couldn't have anticipated this outcome, so it was unsurprising for someone like Zhongli to be caught off guard.
With a smile, she looked reassuringly at Zhongli, "Well, it's alright, Zhongli. As they say in Liyue: 'Life is unpredictable, just like intestines within intestines...' Who could've foreseen such an absurd ending!"
Lumine stared wide-eyed at Paimon, bewildered by this supposed Liyue proverb—she had never heard it before.
Zhongli was equally speechless, unsure when such a phrase became part of Liyue's vernacular.
Qiqi observed their reactions, slightly perplexed, "Huh... Did Qiqi say something wrong?"
Paimon scratched her head, looking somewhat embarrassed as she turned to Lumine, "Um... Traveler, sorry about this. Could you handle breaking the child's fantasy? It seems more fitting for your character."
Lumine glanced at Paimon, wondering if she truly perceived her as cold-hearted and unfeeling.
