Chapter 168: Chapter 168: It’s All About the Players When It Comes to Pranking

"Senior brother, senior brother, look at that! What is that??"

Su Youyi excitedly grabbed Liang Yi’s arm and shook it twice, pointing to the crowd in the middle of the road ahead.

Liang Yi was originally frowning as he tasted a strange, thick green drink he had just bought on the road, and had almost spit it out due to his junior sister’s sudden slap, but he barely held it in.

But following the direction his junior sister was pointing, Liang Yi couldn’t hold it anymore and sprayed the drink right out of his mouth.

"Pff!"

What appeared in the street, surrounded by countless spectators, was players performing a lion dance!?

Four unknown players had crafted two sets of lion dance props and were performing traditional arts from a previous era right on the street, talking about cultural invasion, huh?

And these guys had even incorporated magic artifacts from the game, making these two lions spit fire and water!

Fourth Kid, Fifth Kid, is that you guys? You’re not saving grandpa but performing here?

However, the audience’s reaction was surprisingly enthusiastic, and from time to time, passersby or cultivators amused by the performance rewarded them with quite a few spiritual coins.

"So they are street performing to make money," Liang Yi realized. Of course, without money, one must find a way to earn it.

Daily tasks didn’t give much cash, mostly experience, and the real player money-making time hadn’t arrived yet. Moreover, players’ levels had already reached the cap; the experience bar was locked, making experience rewards naturally less useful.

Although secondary professions could make money fast, they consumed too much time and depended heavily on the level of the profession. Plus, with so many beta testers, not many would buy items made from low-level secondary professions.

Accepting bounties from the Mystic Bureau brought the most money and was the simplest; even the easiest targets were city’s thugs and ruffians, and players quite enjoyed beating them.

However, the game was too realistic, and these low-level thugs, with the concerted efforts of countless players, were mostly beaten into reforming. For slightly more advanced targets, players without proper equipment or weapons couldn’t defeat them at all.

Wanting money to buy equipment to defeat monsters, yet unable to beat the monsters to earn money, some players could only utilize their unique talents and perform in the street! Indeed, these whimsical players constantly had new tricks up their sleeves.

Su Youyi and Yue Bai, standing by him, were watching this entertaining performance for the first time and were thoroughly mesmerized.

Liang Yi smiled slightly and took out some spiritual coins to throw their way, a small encouragement for the group of players.

"It seems the players have a lot of free time. Perfect, let’s find something for them to do."

It was about time, as the Mystic Bureau probably couldn’t hold out much longer; it was time for the players to play their part.

Now that the beta testing was nearing its end, players wouldn’t have many more days to make a ruckus; the reviews on the forums were incredibly high, with countless people eagerly waiting for the game’s public release.

Seizing this opportunity, Liang Yi decided to bring out a plan he had long harbored in his heart.

Crossing through the crowd, he led the two kids, still chattering about the performance, back to their home.

The next morning, under the dawn light of the sun and moon shining together, the little fox Yue Bai willingly assumed the maid role, skillfully cleaning the courtyard early in the morning.

She didn’t forget to bring warm water for washing up to Liang Yi and Su Youyi, and cooked a plain sweet rice porridge, making both of them feel a bit embarrassed.

Liang Yi had always been a homebody, in his past life he took care of his dog and cat; this life, taking care of his junior sister.

Su Youyi, having been self-reliant with her senior brother from a young age, had never experienced being served, and would rather serve her senior brother.

So Yue Bai’s bustle made both of them a little uncomfortable.

"Stop for a moment, stop." Liang Yi stopped Yue Bai who still wanted to continue working, frowning at her.

"Master, did Yue Bai do something wrong?"

Seeing Liang Yi’s serious expression, the little fox became a bit timid, afraid that she did something wrong and would be driven out.

Liang Yi looked conflictedly at this little loli who was not even 1.5 meters tall, and turned to ask his junior sister:

"Does this count as child labor abuse?"

"Abuse... not really, right?" Su Youyi also couldn’t bear to have such a young child serve them, it always felt awkward.

Originally Liang Yi thought that since he had already spent 150,000 spiritual coins, he must squeeze out value from other areas. But when the little fox started working, he felt that he was truly inhumane.

Looking at her little cute face, sweating profusely and panting due to the cold, turning a bit red, Liang Yi felt a pang of conscience.

"Forget it, consider the 150,000 spiritual coins gone down the drain."

In the end, Liang Yi could not harden his heart to exploit the little fox and tossed her the Storage Ring that was supposed to be a free gift from yesterday.

Yue Bai tiptoed to catch the ring that Liang Yi tossed to her, curiously examining it.

"Inside are the clothes we bought for you yesterday, and your own Servant Contract. Take this ring as a gift from us."

"Initially we bought you only to prevent you from falling into the hands of Zhao Feng, and had no other intentions. If you’re willing to, just be like a child maid and stay here to look after the yard, just clean up on a daily basis, and if you don’t want to, then..."

"I’m willing!" Before Liang Yi could finish, Yue Bai immediately prostrated on the ground, bowing respectfully to Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"Ever since Yue Bai was born, only master and Sister Su have ever treated me sincerely, I am willing to follow you for a lifetime."

With sincere words and genuine emotions, looking at the little fox on the ground, Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged looks, both feeling a bit troubled by this stubborn little fox.

This child, why can’t she understand people’s speech, can’t she hear that we want this troublemaker to leave quickly? Didn’t you see the clothes and contract have all been packed in the ring?

"How about, let’s just keep this child for now."

Men are fickle, and women are no different. Su Youyi, moved by pity, directly changed her mind when she saw the pitiful Yue Bai.

Being stared at with hopeful and longing eyes by the little fox, Liang Yi scratched his cheek and simply chose to acquiesce.

"Alright then, one more mouth to feed won’t make much difference, let’s treat it like we’ve gotten a pet."

For the entire morning afterward, Liang Yi was correcting the little fox to stop calling him "Master."

Paired with that adorably cute loli face that made him want to pinch it, Liang Yi was genuinely worried about being caught by the Mystic Bureau the moment he stepped outside.

If he accidentally got thrown onto the forums by players and got framed, his reputation as a "lolicon" would probably be hard to clear.

Unfortunately, the correction was far from satisfactory. She could call Su Youyi "Sister Su" directly, but for him, it was always ’Master’ this, ’Master’ that.

Though hearing the soft and adorable loli calling him master in such a sweet voice is indeed very thrilling.

However, Liang Yi had come to terms with some menial tasks, as they had previously studied how to become competent servants in a system that included servitude, so he didn’t worry about things like child labor abuse.

Hearing Yue Bai’s explanation, Liang Yi secretly decided that next time he saw Song Mengjue, he would strongly suggest that he change "Servant Palace" to "Maid Palace" and provide each female half-demon with a maid outfit, wondering how players could avoid bankruptcy?

Directly train batches of maids, open shops across the continent, he guaranteed that players would trample down the threshold of the shops, and by then, just remember to give him a share of the profits.
