The King of Black Fog

"This will take a lot of time, won't it? Is your Earth Tunneling that convenient?"

"We start digging tonight."

"When did you get Earth Tunneling?"

Yang Qinglan pondered for a moment, then said, "Zheng Qing is coming tonight, ask her about her skills. If after six skills are full we can replace one, we'll also learn a digging skill, and the three of us will work together."

"I haven't decided on the building materials." Li Changzhou said, "But there are many animals that can build nests, we'll learn that one when the time comes."

"Hmm." Yang Qinglan nodded, "For planting, we can consider varieties from the game that accelerate plant growth, we also need to pay attention to skills that increase oxygen and water."

"We don't need water." Li Changzhou laughed, "For drinking, there's my snow mountain mineral water; for living and irrigation, there's your Call the Wind and Rain."

Yang Qinglan nodded, she really hadn't thought about her own Call the Wind and Rain.

No one paid attention to Li Qianxia as she leaned her upper body on the table, pouting and poking her cup with her finger.

Li Changzhou sighed, waved his hand in a gesture of resignation, and passed the Identity Card to her.

Li Qianxia's eyes widened.

Yang Qinglan also showed an incredulous expression.

"A white Identity Card?" Both exclaimed at the same time.

Li Qianxia snatched his Identity Card, and Yang Qinglan also leaned over curiously.

Li Changzhou arrogantly placed his left foot on the chair. As Yang Qinglan looked over, he put it down.

"Mysterious Black Fog, Concentration, Control Dopamine, Skin Enhancement, Healing, Earth Tunneling! Big brother, you?" Li Qianxia didn't know what to say, feeling overwhelmed.

Yes, the more formidable Li Changzhou was, the more she felt it.

"These are the skills from the confiscated Identity Cards." Yang Qinglan confirmed something and then asked, "Was the dry corpse today also your doing? To increase your leverage and acquire the mosquito lady's Identity Card?"

"Am I that sneaky? It's the black fog acting on its own, I can't control it."

Li Changzhou explained everything about the black fog from beginning to end.

"So, you weren't overindulging, you were just scared?" Li Qianxia said.

Li Changzhou was about to cry, finally, finally, his grievances were cleared.

"Hard to say." Yang Qinglan said meaningfully, a smile in her eyes.

"There's nothing hard to say! I'm totally normal!"

Li Qianxia also nodded, "I believe in my brother."

"Qianxia," Yang Qinglan said softly, "Look at his white Identity Card, there are 150 coins of private money on it."

"Li·Chang·zhou!" Li Qianxia slammed the table, "Are you starting a rebellion? Spill it!"

"...I find you a bit terrifying." Li Changzhou said to Yang Qinglan.

"Not too bad." Yang Qinglan crossed her legs, her feet began to swing again, she picked up a pen and started to organize her notes about the base and about Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou glanced at her, she then snapped back to her senses and cautiously put her legs down.

"Brother." Li Qianxia, who had just been angry, suddenly became coy again.

"What is it?" Li Changzhou took a sip of snow mountain mineral water.

"Brother~~"

"If you have something to say, say it."

"Let you do the digging? Qing Lan doesn't pity you, but your sister does. I dig fast, let me do it! I also have Horned Robe, not afraid of dirt getting in my clothes, brother."

"Is this? Stealing skills right over my head?" Li·King of Black Fog·Spoils of War Speaker·Optimistic Youth·Two-faced·Changzhou, couldn't believe it.

"Let's try." Yang Qinglan said, "See if you can transfer a skill to someone else."

"Yeah, yeah, give me Control Dopamine too." Li Qianxia nodded vigorously.

She had set her sights on both Grade B skills.

"Alright." Li Changzhou made a gesture of resignation.

Why did he bring out the white Identity Card? Wasn't one of the reasons because he had something he wanted to experiment with?

He had already mastered the Bull Horn Spiral Force of the Great Strength Bull Fist, so if he no longer had the 'Great Strength Bull Fist' skill, would he still know it? If someone else acquired 'Great Strength Bull Fist', could they learn the Bull Horn Spiral Force?

"Give me the card." He gestured with his hands.

Li Qianxia immediately handed over her Black Card, returning Li Changzhou's white card.

No good.

Black fog ignored him.

"Useless," Li Qianxia said with a look of disgust as she took back her Black Card.

I really wanted to hit her.

"Setting aside the matter of the Identity Card," Yang Qinglan put down her pen, "our next tasks are: one, continue challenging the game; two, train our skills and physical abilities; three, build a base."

Li Qianxia took a sip of her drink and after swallowing, said:

"Should we cooperate with other players? Recruit a few subordinates? Think about it, although the game only allows teams of three, we can temporarily team up if we meet in the game, and help each other out in reality, get more skills."

Yang Qinglan looked towards Li Changzhou.

"What do you think?" she asked.

"It could be, it might not be, it depends on fate. What about you?" Li Changzhou countered.

Yang Qinglan stared at her notebook, pondering for a while.

A customer stood up, took his book to the counter to pay.

After the customer walked out of the shop with an umbrella, Yang Qinglan said, "I don't like it."

She looked up, explaining to the siblings, "I'm not making decisions here. I'm just putting out my thoughts for us all to discuss."

"Since Qing Lan doesn't like it, then we won't recruit. Anyway, the three of us are fine as is," Li Qianxia said nonchalantly.

"I'd like to hear your detailed thoughts though."

With that remark from Li Changzhou, Li Qianxia immediately became annoyed.

She pushed Li Changzhou and lectured him, "Bro, do you even know how to flirt?"

"Qian Xia," Yang Qinglan said, looking at her with a smile.

"You don't know how to win a girl's favor, do you?"

"Qian Xia," Yang Qinglan continued smiling.

It wasn't a matter of wording.

Li Qianxia turned away, pretending to sip her juice.

Yang Qinglan stopped smiling, her gaze shifting to Li Changzhou.

She said to him:

"You should have noticed, I have no friends. I like to read, to be alone, and I have a lack of trust in people."

"The reason I became friends with Qian Xia is because of the game, and you... I wouldn't exactly call you a friend, but I at least trust you. The main reason for this is Qian Xia. I can't think of anyone else, any other reason, that would make me trust."

"Not even friends?" Li Changzhou countered.

Yang Qinglan thought about it, "You told me everything about the White Identity Card, so, alright."

"Bro!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in astonishment, "So you do know how to flirt! Could it be you've seen through Qing Lan and said that on purpose?"

"No, that wasn't it. I just thought there's no need to hide anything from each other, and besides, you wouldn't tell anyone."

After a pause, Li Changzhou added, "Most importantly, it makes life easier. If we are going to live together for a long time, hiding things from each other is just tiring."

"Is that why you hide your naughty magazines under your mattress?"

"...That was hiding, and you found them. Also, why are you always rummaging through my room!"

Listening to the siblings' conversation, Yang Qinglan smiled helplessly, picked up her pen, and continued to plan the base.

After Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia left, Yang Qinglan continued sketching, and soon, a professional-looking base blueprint appeared on her notebook.

A staff member came over to collect Li Changzhou's cup.

Yang Qinglan looked up and said, "Thank you."

"Manager," the staff member's face full of curiosity, "were those two your friends?"

Yang Qinglan lightly tapped her pen on the notebook twice: "Hmm."

"Could you give me that handsome guy's WeChat?" the staff member asked hopefully, having noticed Li Changzhou the moment he entered.

"Well," Yang Qinglan thought about it and then declined, "He might like me. It's not nice to recommend another girl to someone who likes you."

"Wait!" With no customers in the store, another staff member also came over, "Does that mean, Manager, that you also have feelings for him?"

"Work hours."

The two staff members let out a disappointed sigh.

They were eager to learn the gossip about their fairy-like manager.

People always want to find traces of human emotions in a woman who appears as pure and ethereal as jade.
