Chapter 401 As a teacher, I should say thank youHaha, he said that he suddenly felt that the gold coins in his pocket had become lighter. It turned out that the gold-devouring beast that Xixia had raised was working hard.He still feels a pang of regret when he thinks about how the teaching props were destroyed last time.At the time, he, like the detective, scoffed at the warnings he received. He thought 823786 was exaggerating; what great things could a mere trainee possibly accomplish? With this dismissive attitude, he only made things difficult for himself.Sicily laughed and said, "Okay, whatever makes you happy. Bye."The detective was willing to give the trainees a gift, and as their teacher, she should thank him.The detective stared at the disconnected video call, then looked up at Charlie, who seemed to want to be a million miles away from her: "Did Cecilia steal from you? Why did she run all the way here?"Richard:...Sometimes you don't need to be so clever; even if he guesses correctly, he won't give her the award!The detective had only said it casually, but he hadn't expected this reaction, so he suddenly became interested. Really? Would Sicily pickpocket him?What's the difference between this and the world's richest man robbing a beggar?Putting everything else aside, just look at the dolls that Xixia casually makes; each one can fetch a sky-high price at auction. Would they really be interested in his meager earnings?"I guessed right? What does Xixia want you to do with those three dates?"Richard:...You annoying detective!"First of all, it was just a pittance. Secondly, when did I say that Xixia had taken money from my pocket?"He clearly emptied his pocket for 823786 and that student from Xixia named [Dibi Dibi].Well, in his opinion, it doesn't make a difference.The detective raised an eyebrow but did not ask any further questions.——Ping Yuan kicked open the rusty door in front of her, stepped onto the rooftop, and stepped on a greeting card with a flower pattern with her little red boots."Happy anniversary, honey! I got off work so late today, but luckily I had the foresight to book that restaurant you wanted to go to beforehand!""I hope my baby is healthy and happy! And that he/she will always love me!""We've been married for so long, and you're still saying things like that? It's so cheesy!"Pingyuan glanced back at the flower-patterned greeting card on the ground, then continued walking forward. She needed to find supplies, monsters, and people to get to the top of the rankings as soon as possible.I have no idea how Didi's follower managed to rack up so many points in such a short time. Could it be that they're using some kind of cheat, like monster-attracting potions, items, or skills?"Bang!!"Ping Yuan looked up at the source of the sound and saw someone there.Her eyes lit up; it was exactly what she wanted!Pingyuan stepped onto the edge of the low wall on the rooftop and walked forward without hesitation. Magic patterns appeared on her little red boots, steadily supporting her and allowing her to move through the air.A moment later, Pingyuan landed back on the ground, her brand-new red boots stepping on the withered branches and leaves. She walked towards the source of the sound, and along the way, she heard several loud noises."Clang!!!"An unidentified object came hurtling toward her face. Bottle Wish dodged it with a flash, raised her hand to pat off non-existent dirt from her red magic robe, and glanced at the unidentified object that had been hit on the ground—she couldn't tell what it was.She looked up and glared at the person who started it all.Um?"Beep beep beep? You launched a sneak attack!"Pei Hening, panting heavily, shouted hoarsely as she ran, "Run, Pingyuan!"Bottle's Wish:???"Beep beep beep, how arrogant! What does 'Run, Bottle Wish!' even mean? Why is she running?"Before Pingyuan could react, she suddenly couldn't breathe and suffocated.A cold, sticky, and eerie liquid clung to her brand-new, pretty red boots and slowly climbed upwards, trying to devour her. Pingyuan's face turned pale, and she was still struggling.
