Gu Xi and Tang Shuang were cooking and chatting at the same time.

Although their conversation invariably revolved around the game, Gu Xi felt as if he had detached himself from the game and fully integrated into the real world.

At this moment in Gu Xi’s heart, the game, level, skills, and equipment, none of it seemed that important.

Life was gradually becoming a part of Gu Xi.

At this point, Gu Xi also slowly understood why the Chaoyang Radiance Guild had figured out ways to group players and arrange surprises for players when they weren’t engaged in the game.

It was to pull the players’ attention away from the game.

So they wouldn’t get lost in the game.

Gu Xi just happened to skip that process.

Coupled with the lack of guidance, and Gu Xi’s various mental immunities, it eventually led to the current situation.

No one had warned Gu Xi about this before.

At most, it just felt like there was something odd about Gu Xi.

If it weren’t for some unexpected events that made Gu Xi realize something was off, he wouldn’t have thought he’d have a mild case of game assimilation syndrome just two and a half years after graduation.

Luckily, he could self-regulate at this point.

After understanding some of the situation, Gu Xi could slowly change some of his lifestyle habits.

To avoid unknowingly developing some untreatable ailments.

Gu Xi had a very happy night.

The next day, Gu Xi suggested going shopping with Tang Shuang.

And while shopping, Gu Xi also shared some thoughts on his fashion sense.

This made Tang Shuang laugh quite happily.

She even leaned on Gu Xi’s back and said to him, "That’s more like it. Did you know, when I first saw you, I thought you’d been trapped in the game for decades, completely out of touch with the real world."

Gu Xi silently complained to himself, trapped in the game for decades, no, but being out of touch with the real world, definitely yes.

After all, the world he was born in had been disconnected from the real world for who knows how many years?

Gu Xi was about to say something when he clearly felt the muscles of Tang Shuang, leaning on him, tense up.

Gu Xi turned back to look at Tang Shuang with some confusion, only to find her looking ahead with a face of disgust.

Following Tang Shuang’s gaze, Gu Xi saw someone about two and a half meters tall in a black robe walking briskly.

The black robe indicated he was a player.

But something was clearly off about his head.

Could it be Tang Shuang knew him?

"What’s up, got a grudge? Want me to deal with him?"

"No, they’re just trouble, ignore them."

Tang Shuang said as she dragged Gu Xi in another direction.

Once they were far enough away, Tang Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really unlucky, encountering such trash while shopping, it’s really bad luck."

"Who is that person?" Gu Xi asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just another player."

Tang Shuang replied casually.

Another player?

Gu Xi paused for a moment, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind. All black-robed ones are players. If it’s just a player’s identity, there’s no reason for Tang Shuang to specifically point it out.

"Aren’t they human players?"

Gu Xi thought for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Yeah, they’re players from a race called the Nida Race.

Who knows from which corner of the universe they popped out.

They look human, but they don’t act like it at all.

They have more holes in their backs than others, and their skin looks like a toad’s, with the ability to absorb the luck of nearby people.

They can be said to be born with an aura of misfortune.

Once you get involved, you’re bound to be unlucky for at least ten days to half a month."

Tang Shuang said with disgust, "Didn’t you see, when that guy walked on the street, people around him all moved far away?"

Gu Xi paused again and turned to look at the big guy, and found it was indeed like that.

Wherever the big guy walked, the number of nearby people would noticeably decrease.

Gu Xi squinted his eyes and switched on the perspective of the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe.

In Gu Xi’s view, he noticed that wherever the big guy walked, the earth vein’s aura would slightly fluctuate.

If there was no way to suppress the aura, the spiritual qi from the earth vein could very likely turn into evil qi.

"Do they export large amounts of evil qi-type weapons or equipment?"

Gu Xi suddenly asked.

"Well, that seems to be true?

No wonder they would recognize players from the Nida Race. Turns out they provide some unique resources, but they can’t just be let loose among the population. Look, there it goes."

Tang Shuang pointed not far away, where a player walking was inexplicably hit by bird droppings from the sky.

In an attempt to dodge the droppings, he jumped to the left, only to collide with a passerby.

Eventually, it turned into a chaotic scene.

"See, the aura of misfortune from the Nida Race isn’t something normal people can resist."

Gu Xi raised an eyebrow and turned to ask Tang Shuang, "Besides the Nida Race, how many other non-human player races are there?"

"I’m not too sure; I’ve only heard of a race made of flames. Some professions are unavailable to them, but some they excel at compared to us."

Gu Xi then asked, "Have you heard of a race that looks like octopus heads and might have mind control abilities?"

"No, maybe I don’t know much. If you need to find out, you could look for someone at the Heart Sea Domain.

That’s the gathering star realm for spirit mages and has the same status for them as the Netherworld does for undead element professionals.

If those octopus head players have spirit abilities and have interacted with us, there must be records there.

Even if you don’t want to take the trip yourself, you can commission someone to do it for you."

"Is there such a service?"

Gu Xi was immediately interested, "Tell me more."

"Of course, this world is vast, and not everyone has the time to run around. If you have a real need, you can place an order at the Mercenary Guild or Affairs Hall.

But if you’re asking someone to find or transcribe information, it’s best to define the scope clearly.

Some people take on tasks but don’t do them properly.

Some even handle it carelessly.

You’d better choose someone with a good reputation."

"Such a place exists?

Let’s go have a look."

When Gu Xi heard about this, he grabbed Tang Shuang’s hand intending to go and see for himself.

Tang Shuang was a little taken aback, but in the end, she went along with Gu Xi’s wishes and left with him.
