The Rat King left.
After Luo Xi refused the Rat King’s invitation, he remained silent, simply observing as a spectator.
Unexpectedly, the king of the Snake and Rat Meeting still revealed quite a bit of useful information.
Several new entries were added to his to-do list.
[Da Yan Empire]
[The Sixth Origin Disaster, Locust Disaster, Lekas]
He didn’t know if it was the kind of locust disaster that filled the skies like in his memory.
Probably not, otherwise, it would be too low-level.
The cat-eared girl now stood beside him, and under the cover of the fog, Luo Xi could not entirely discern the girl’s features.
On the dimly lit street, after the sounds of fighting subsided, residents began to emerge to investigate the situation, only to immediately retreat upon seeing the ravaged alley.
Wei’er looked at Luo Xi and asked, “Are you leaving?”
“Yes.”
“Now?” the cat-eared girl asked.
“It’s getting late.” Luo Xi smiled, “Can I stay at your place for one more night?”
“It’s possible,”
Wei’er hesitated for a moment then said, “But the bed has collapsed because of you, so you can only sleep in the living room tonight.”

Luo Xi was somewhat taken aback.
He shook his head with a smile and said, “Never mind, I’ll just find a place to stay later.”
He was not privy to the family circumstances of Wei’er and Aina, and he knew he had no right to meddle in other people’s affairs.
More so as this world seemed touchable, but in reality, there was a barrier as substantial as a phone’s screen, even the divide between two worlds.
He was bound to leave here eventually.
The cat-eared girl made no attempt to persuade him to stay.
She didn’t wish to inquire why Luo Xi was suddenly able to muster strength far beyond what his body was normally capable of.
Everyone has secrets, and she was no exception.
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Xi still said, “I know it might not be a good thing to say, but that Rat King, he might not be a good person.”
“I know,” Wei’er said softly. “How could anyone who sits in his position be a good person? However, Uncle Noss has indeed helped me and Aina a lot over the years. Without him, we might have starved to death long ago, and probably would have encountered far more troubles.”
“As long as you are aware of it,”
Luo Xi paused and then asked, “Do you have a map of the nearby area?”
“I have one right now.”
The cat-eared girl took out a scroll tied with a thin string from her bosom and smiled as she held up four fingers. “Do you want the map? I can give it to you, but of course, you have to pay for it, four silver coins.”
“Damn, four silver coins?” Luo Xi was shocked.
Wei’er’s expression turned slightly displeased, “My map doesn’t only show the roads to other towns; it also marks many dangerous spots in the nearby wilderness. These were identified at the cost of lives, naturally making it expensive. Besides, I’ve saved you twice, doesn’t that merit four silver coins?”
“Of course not,”
Luo Xi took out four silver coins from his bag and placed them in the girl’s hand. After taking the map, which still retained the warmth of the girl’s body, he said seriously, “What I mean is four silver coins are too little. It should cost four gold coins, but unfortunately, I can’t afford it now.”
“Hmph—”
Wei’er chuckled, her light red eyes swept over Luo Xi’s face, and she blinked, “This side of you is your true nature, isn’t it? Not the kind of silly, slightly slow-reacting state, or just the crazed feeling from before.”
“To be honest, the way you were just now almost scared me; that bit about you being a kind-hearted person who can’t bear to see others in pain… It’s just like those big villains described in novels.”
“It’s actually just a running gag.”
“Gag? I don’t quite understand, but never mind,”
The cat-eared girl gave her tail a light shake and said, “So, is there anything else you want to know? If it’s not too much trouble, I can help you out again.”
Luo Xi’s gaze swept over the girl’s head, and those slightly soft, furry cat ears were indeed very small and cute. Without thinking, he said:
“Can I pet your ears?”
“What?!” Cat Cat puffed up.
“Cough, forget I said anything. Then, if fate allows, we shall meet again.” Luo Xi waved his hand and quickly stepped away.

“Goodbye…”
Wei’er raised her small hand and waved it, watching the figure that disappeared into the distance on the street, feeling sentimental.
Perhaps from now on, she would never see this person again, right?
Her mother had once said that people are like different birds in the sky. They might fly past each other at a certain moment, even flying together for a period of time, but there would always be a time to part, never to see each other again.
It’s the same for everyone.
Suddenly, the girl felt something cold touch her face.
Without knowing when, it had begun to snow.
It’s snowing again, huh.
…
…
Luo Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
Noises and the sound of dripping water reached his ears.
It was the dripping from the water tank on the balcony and the voices of students downstairs in the dormitory.
Back.
Luo Xi looked at his right hand holding the phone, trembling slightly.
But soon his hand steadied.
The text on the screen was still displaying.
[Ding! The Dreamland Synchronization Module has been unlocked]
[From now on, Traveler, you’ll be able to experience the journey of the Dream World more authentically!]
[Traveler, you’ve come to the inn located in an alley on Grey Stone Street that you found during the day]
[The innkeeper took one of your silver coins, the cost for accommodation and meals was 40 copper coins, and you let him use the remaining money to prepare a set of clothes and a hat for you]
[The innkeeper stared at you for a long time, but still said in a trembling voice that the money wasn’t enough to buy a warm thick garment]
[You indicated that having clothes to wear was enough]
[The innkeeper agreed]
[He took you to the second floor of the inn, where there were three rooms, all empty]
[You chose the middle room, which was very clean and spacious, and there was a stone similar to a warming stone, radiating warmth at the head of your bed]
[Traveler, you lay down on the bed, exhausted. Though the injury on your leg wasn’t severe, your spirit had declined too much, and you were very tired; you needed to rest]
[Traveler, you heard the cheers of some children outside]
[You got out of bed and opened the window of the room]
[The cold wind, carrying large snowflakes, blew into the room, and you shivered from the cold; you saw some children sneaking out of their homes, chasing after snowflakes all over the street]
[It’s snowing, huh]
[Your Happiness Level +3]
[After closing the window, you lay back down in bed. Do you want to go to sleep?]
[Yes]
[Traveler, you hugged a warming stone and quickly fell into a deep sleep]
[You are sleeping soundly…]
Luo Xi put down the phone and closed the game.
The phone displayed the time: 20:25.
Unknowingly, he had been playing from just after four in the afternoon until now; his stomach was growling with hunger, and perhaps influenced by the decline in spirit in the game, he felt dizzy and really wanted to sleep.
Luo Xi tidied up a bit and took another look at himself in the mirror as he passed by.
The little red horns were especially eye-catching.
He could see them but couldn’t touch them, and wasn’t sure if others could see them.
He needed to find a few people to test this out.
The dormitory next door, room 407.
The door of the dormitory was ajar, and Luo Xi walked right in.
There were two people in dorm 407.
One layabout was still lying in bed, and another fat guy with headphones on was furiously typing on the keyboard, with continuous crude remarks about his teammates’ family members spilling from his mouth.
“Old Sun, do you see anything on my head?”
The fat guy briefly glanced over but the game he was playing had reached a critical point, so he couldn’t look away for long.
“Huh? Luo Xi? When did you get back? What did you just say?”
“Is there anything on my head?”
“Nothing! Damn it, Yasuo your mother’s curry people are all gone…”
“Uh, you keep playing, okay.”
Luo Xi looked up at the guy in the bed, “Old Zhou, what about you? Do you see anything on my head?”
The guy in the bed glanced down, “What thing? I don’t see anything.”
“Then never mind, I’m heading out.”
Luo Xi closed the door and then went down to the first floor of the dormitory, pretending to ask Auntie at the front desk a few questions and deliberately shook his head in her sight.
The dormitory supervisor didn’t show any odd reactions.
Luo Xi left the dormitory building satisfied.
It seemed that except for himself, others probably couldn’t see the abnormalities on his head.
What Luo Xi didn’t know was that after he swiped his card and left the dormitory, the dormitory supervisor muttered to herself, “Young people these days, why do they like to show off these strange costumes? I just don’t understand.”
As for the guy in bed in room 407, he got out of bed and carefully put on his contact lenses.
The second-floor restaurant in the cafeteria.
Luo Xi ordered a fried rice with extra rice, egg, sausage, and chicken cutlet at the window.
Twenty yuan.
He felt that this meal probably would not be enough to fill his stomach.
Once the fried rice was ready, and smelling its aroma, Luo Xi immediately dug in heartily.
At that moment, a few girls coming to have late-night snacks came over with an empty plate, probably to return it to the collection cart, but they suddenly stopped in front of Luo Xi’s table.
“Excuse me, could you tell us what that is on your head?”
Luo Xi’s hand stiffened, and he stopped his chopsticks, his mouth twitching as he said:
“You can see them?”
“Of course, we can see; we’re not blind.” The girl nodded, curiously asking, “Is this a cosplay? Can I touch your horns?”
“No!”
Luo Xi was dumbfounded. Was this what they called instant karma?
The girls: “╥﹏╥!”
If you don’t want to be touched, just say so. Why is he shouting so loudly?
Hey, doesn’t this guy look a bit like the cat-petting dude that went viral in the friends circle this afternoon?
