Seeing that Mylene was nibbling that hamburger like a cute squirrel and occasionally sneaking glances at her, Yaeger felt like her spirit was cleansed.
âMy sister is so cute~â
The moment she returned to life, she had been subjected to massive pressure and couldnât relax at all. Now that she had enough strength to protect herself, progressed well in the game, and was safe in the real worldâit would be a travesty if she didnât relax herself.
Suddenly, she felt wetness and warmth from a finger and returned to her senses. Looking down, she saw Mylene nibbling on her finger and licking it. Noticing Yaegerâs gaze, she also returned to her senses and instantly blushed deeply. So much so that steam nearly sprayed out of her head.
âIs it tasty?â Yaeger asked gently.
âWah!â Mylene spoke in deep embarrassment, âSis-sister⊠Itâs just an accident just now. Thatâs right, an accident!â
âItâs fine. I donât mind.â Yaeger extended her other hand and caressed her small head.
Mylene instantly closed her eyes in joy, like a kitten. Then, she was instantly reminded of her own brother. When she was a child, her brother also gently caressed her head this way.
The space inside the store was instantly filled with an air of happiness.
At the same time, in a certain room in Huadu.
âOnly the prices in the Linhnan server are this abysmal?â Taurus asked.
The prices of some of the commodities in Jade City had inflated rapidly. It was obviously abnormal. Moreover, most of them were basic materials and various items that all players needed.
Heâd swear on his life on the fact that someone was manipulating the prices. However, who was capable enough to do that? All of the sudden, an incredibly beautiful figure instantly surfaced in Taurusâ mind.
âIs it really her? Thatâs not right. Itâs about manipulating the commodity prices of a large city. Sheâs not capable enough for that!â
To manipulate prices, one must unite all merchants in the city and acquire all resources, in order to form a monopoly. As a capitalist who was extremely proficient in seeking the opportunity for profit, Taurus had already spotted this massive opportunity the moment he entered the city.
Unfortunately, cooperating and signing agreements with a merchant in the city required too much Favorability, too much energy, and too much investment. It wasnât a good deal for him.
It was already difficult to deal with one merchant. Not to mention doing the same to the majority of the merchants in this city.
âImpossible. At the current stage of the game, no player could manage such a thing! But if it isnât the players, then whoâs manipulating the pricesâŠâ Taurus squinted his eyes while feeling absolutely clueless.
âWe checked it. Commodity prices in other servers didnât change much. Only the prices in our Linhnan server are very abnormal.â S.K.Y. replied after using the tablet for some time.
âIf it isnât done by the players, then it must be done by a certain NPC. The question is, why does it seem like this NPC already knew us players would be here ahead of time and already did thisâŠâ
At this point of conversation, Taurus suddenly recalled the sly and devious seventh princessâKastina.
âItâs her! Itâs her! It is her! The Empireâs little scourge!â

âAh ptui! Sheâs not little!â Taurus frantically shook his head.
Hearing that, S.K.Y. was completely perplexed. He had no idea why the topic would shift from discussing commodity prices to whatever that was.
âWe have a traitor among us.â Taurus leaned back into the sofa.
âTraitor? Who?â S.K.Y. adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.
âBlack-hearted Princess!â
âHer?â S.K.Y. was confused.
âListen to me. Hereâs what happened.â Taurus had already compiled all the needed information in his head and then verbalized it in detail.
S.K.Y. instantly understood everything after listening.
âI see! Black-hearted Princess entered the city before us. She used this advantage to befriend the seventh princess and convince her to manipulate the prices, screwing us in the process. She betrayed all players in the Linhnan server by doing this! How dirty, how despicable!â S.K.Y. became angrier as he spoke.
âWhen you first told me that sheâs scummy and devious, I didnât really believe it. Until she did me dirty!â Taurus clenched his fists with a grim expression. At this moment, he recalled his experiences in Jadeleaf Plaza, anger and hatred surged in his heart.
âHer Favorability with that stubborn and domineering seventh princess must be very high since she could convince her into it. The Black-hearted Princessâ methods are truly something else.â As he spoke, S.K.Y. turned his head and glanced at Taurus. âYoung master Zhang, what do we do now?â
âWhat else can we do? Weâre done for⊠No, letâs go along with the original plan. Weâll reclaim the losses weâve suffered from her, ten times over!â Taurus spoke spitefully.
âThe problem is, we donât have enough money right now.â S.K.Y. shrugged and spoke helplessly.
Initially, they had more than enough money. But they were now severely underfunded due to the massive price inflation.
âIâll go back and discuss it with my dad.â
Taurus sighed. The Zhang Family had boatloads of money but most of them were under his fatherâs control. The money that he could utilize really wasnât actually all that much.
After losing 81 million and spending money beforehand for all sorts of reasons, Taurus had exhausted most of his funds by now. Now that the commodity prices in the game had it inflated massively, heâd need to increase his budget 3 times over.
Not only that, he also had to keep his entire Guild funded and fed. It would end in a tragedy if he only relied on his personal funds for all of that. After realizing that he had to ask his father for money despite being a full-grown adult, Taurus became incredibly flustered.
The hatred he had for Yaeger only increased.
âYoung master Zhang, youâŠâ
âIâve made up my mind!â Taurus flicked his hand and spoke in determination.
âNoâŠâ
âAs I said, Iâm not afraid to embarrass myself!â
âNo, Iâm trying to say, do you plan to go home looking like this?â
S.K.Y. examined Taurus up and down. He knew that if Taurus showed up to Zhang Residence looking like this, his legs would be definitely broken.
âI⊠Iâll go looking like this⊠No⊠Itâs better if I go to the mall and get a new outfit.â

Taurus wasnât going home for no reason this time. Instead, he planned to ask his father for money. If he returned home looking like that, heâd never get his money and his legs would be broken as well.
S.K.Y. lightly shook his head as Taurus left. He was starting to feel a little insecure about his future.
`
âHopefully there wonât be any more problems. Oh, Taurus Zhang, Iâve gambled my entire future by sticking with you.â
Inside the room, his helpless voice slowly dissipated.
Outside of KFC, Yaeger walked alone on the deserted streets after parting with Mylene.
âNow, itâs time to stretch my legs.â
Aside from meeting Mylene, she had another thing to do by coming out tonight.
âThose Hitmen nearly made it to my doorstep last time. I believe they mustâve narrowed down their search radius by tracking my range of activity.
Now that this information is in E-Fairy, Veraâs hands, Iâll be in a world of hurt if she shared it with others.â
The solution to that problem was actually very simple. She could just leave Jade Flower Garden and find a new hideout.
âBut I donât like moving houses.â She was enjoying her stay in Jade Flower Garden. She really preferred to not leave the place unless she was forced to.
Moreover, renting or buying a house with her female form would expose her information. Sheâll definitely be tracked down by then.
âAt this point, I can only expose myself deliberately and let my range of movement spread far and wide.â
She didnât know if these actions would be helpful to her. Yet, she still decided to do it.
Beep Beep!
Just as she was about to take action, her phone made noise.
