"Big Boss, we've arrived. Just ahead is the Ninth Safe Zone!"
Led by a local guide, Chen Yi and Ye Ancai finally reached the outskirts of this world's human settlement.
Of course, the two could have entered directly—after all, there was nothing on this continent capable of stopping them from bulldozing their way through!
But that would have been too arrogant. They were here to explore, not to destroy. If they scared off the hidden 'Key to the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm,' finding it again would be a hassle!
As they approached the Ninth Safe Zone, a refreshing breeze greeted them. The towering defensive walls were faintly lined with greenery, exuding an atmosphere of vitality and thriving life.
Entry into the safe zone was strictly regulated, requiring not only blood tests but also a series of identity verifications to prevent high-level E'Mo—intelligent demonic entities—from infiltrating and causing chaos.
Naturally, none of this posed any challenge for Chen Yi and Ye Ancai.
The two strolled through the security checkpoint as casually as if returning home, while the third-tier superhuman guards remained oblivious to their presence—utterly unaware!
Only Liu Bi and Dai Yuanshan could see them, leaving the pair momentarily stunned before being swiftly apprehended by sharp-eyed guards who suspected they were infected with the E'Mo virus!
Despite their desperate protests, the guards trusted their own eyes like an infallible ruler.
They immediately dragged the two off to the advanced inspection channel for verification.
Meanwhile...
Inside the safe zone, Chen Yi and Ye Ancai felt as if they had truly returned home!
This place was a world apart from the ruins outside!
Clean asphalt roads stretched before them, vehicles powered by special energy sources glided silently past, and bustling streets teemed with people in T-shirts, white shirts, pleated skirts, and floral shorts paired with flip-flops...
An AI server at a milk tea shop beckoned customers with a sweet synthetic voice, while in this highly advanced technological setting, elderly artisans still manned stalls crafting sugar figurines.
Holographic projections shimmered outside subway stations, and people could summon smart operating systems with a mere gesture—playing games, watching movies, or listening to music anytime, anywhere...
Where was the apocalypse in all this? If not for the man-eating E'Mo outside, this could easily be mistaken for a highly developed technological world!
The strange yet familiar sensation left both Chen Yi and Ye Ancai momentarily dazed.
"Ding dong~ Hey there, friends! Why just stand around looking lost? Need any help?"
At that moment, an intelligent trash bin seemed to detect their presence and greeted them with a voice prompt directed at the air.
"Hey, this is kinda fun!" Ye Ancai's interest was piqued. He fished out a useless but top-grade spirit stone from his pocket and stuffed it into the trash bin's "mouth."
"Ding! Thank you for your contribution... Zzzzt—Unable to process. Detected as high-grade energy ore. Please check if you've made a disposal error?"
The smart trash bin shuddered before spitting the spirit stone back out.
"Hah, it won't even take it! Let me see what else it can do..." Ye Ancai grinned, retrieving the spirit stone before tinkering with the bin. Discovering it could connect to the local network, he instantly lit up like a five-thousand-year-old child.
Understandable—before his transmigration to the Moyun Continent (where he'd died from overwork), he'd been a hardcore internet addict. He'd missed this feeling for ages.
The chat groups back home were monotonous, limited to discussions about cultivation. Without gossip columns, forums, or torrent sites, he'd been deprived of the thrill of surfing the web.
Even Chen Yi couldn't resist copying a random passerby's smart terminal to browse through various feeds.

Just as Chen Yi and Ye Ancai were engrossed in their browsing...
Liu Bi and Dai Yuanshan, having undergone advanced testing, finally caught up.
"Alright, enough scrolling. Time to get down to business!"
"Okaaay~~"
Chen Yi pocketed the smart terminal without hesitation, while Ye Ancai reluctantly released the trash bin.
Though both could instantly comprehend everything in the world, that was like wolfing down a meal—akin to Zhu Bajie eating the Ginseng Fruit without tasting it. Only by savoring each detail could they truly appreciate the brilliance of netizens' wild ideas, finding them increasingly fascinating.
Still, this was merely seasoning for their mundane lives—a quick indulgence was enough. The real mission took priority!
"Kid, don't worry if you can't remember the tattoo parlor's location. Later, I'll activate your tattoo. Just follow your instincts, got it?" Chen Yi said calmly, eyeing Dai Yuanshan.
"Got it!" Dai Yuanshan nodded solemnly, his eyes flashing with both eagerness and hesitation.
He longed to see that sweet-smelling tattoo artist sister again... but feared what this big boss might do to her.
A dilemma.
But there was no choice.
This big boss had saved both his leader and himself!
Sorry, sweet tattoo sister... my leader comes first. I'm about to betray you...
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
