Chapter : 81

Yan Yunqing picked up the blue bracelet and put it on. The blue bracelet seemed to have a life of its own, contracting to fit his wrist perfectly.

He cast a [Appraisal] spell on it, and three seconds later, the bracelet's information popped up.

[Mandiper Identity Recognition Bracelet (Primary)]

Alchemical Item, an identity recognition certificate for the primary game of Mandiper, storing your personal information and a positioning device.

Tsk, it even has a positioning device.

Yan Yunqing feigned discomfort and moved his wrist, "Do you have to wear this bracelet all the time? I should be able to take it off when I rest, right? How do I take it off?"

Bunny-eared Girl: "Sir, our bracelets must be worn on the wrist. They cannot be taken off even when resting. We will unlock the bracelet for you when you leave Mandiper."

"If you accidentally damage the bracelet, please don't worry. A Mandiper attendant will arrive shortly to replace it with a new one."

From the sound of it, it couldn't be removed by force, and damaging the bracelet would lead to an inspection by the staff.

Yan Yunqing pouted with dissatisfaction on his face and casually tossed the other blue bracelet on the tray into Rocco's arms, "Tsk, so ugly."

Rocco cooperated with him and also muttered a few words about the 'ugliness' of the bracelet before putting it on.

Only then did the black-robed man who had been watching them closely step back and make an inviting gesture.

The bunny-eared girl's voice slowly sounded behind him, "If you wish to participate in the 'Midas Touch' competition, please obtain the 'Midas Touch' status as soon as possible. The 'Midas Touch' competition will officially begin in five days."

"If you don't have enough capital, sir, we also offer other ways to mortgage and exchange for chips here."

A slightly bewitching voice swirled around his ears. Yan Yunqing's footsteps paused for a moment. He was not affected by this voice.

He had already considered that the casino might have a skill similar to [Charm] to lure gamblers into a trap. Before coming, Yan Yunqing had allocated more than half of the free points he had accumulated to his willpower.

As long as he didn't encounter a species that specialized in bewitching people, such as a succubus, it would be difficult for Yan Yunqing to be affected.

But he still showed a slightly moved expression.

As if he had tried his best to restrain himself, Yan Yunqing followed the black-robed man to the gate of the primary game.

As the heavy door was slowly pushed open, a slightly noisy sound came from inside.

Stimulating dynamic music, some people laughed out loud, some knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and more people crowded in front of each gambling table, shouting excitedly.

Yan Yunqing frowned, stimulated by the noise.

The door he had entered through was slowly closed. The black-robed man was nowhere to be seen. He had completely entered a hall filled with desire and greed, a world of debauchery.

There were also many ways to play in the primary game. At a glance, he couldn't see the end. Yan Yunqing casually took two steps and had already observed more than three types of games.

Yan Yunqing walked slowly, pretending to be curiously observing the gambling at each table, and then sent a message to Rocco in the chat system.

[Ri'an (Private)]: Find that Xiao Ai you mentioned.

Rocco's footsteps paused for a moment, and then he also began to look around curiously. Yan Yunqing knew that he had already started searching.

The primary game area was very large. Based on the scale of this primary game, Yan Yunqing suspected that the entire underground of the Free City was Mandiper's territory.

...If I started digging from one place, would there be a chance to dig through to the outside of the Free City?

Well, in short, he probably wouldn't try digging a tunnel.

Yan Yunqing found the place to exchange chips and prepared to exchange for three thousand gold coins worth of chips.

He saw that each bet in the primary game could not be less than one thousand gold coins. These three thousand gold coins were enough for him to bet three times.

He'd test the waters first. There was no need to throw all his money in.

Behind the chip exchange counter stood a silver-haired, fox-eared young man. He was thin, and his clothes were even more revealing than the bunny-eared girl's at the outer counter. At first glance, Yan Yunqing thought this was some kind of restricted movie set.

Yan Yunqing's gaze swept over the other party's semi-transparent silk white shirt, which was half-concealed and almost useless.

He couldn't help but look at the fox tail hanging behind him. The tail was fluffy, shiny, and looked very strokable.

Aren't there a few too many beastmen in this Mandiper?

The owner here seems to particularly like hiring beastmen. Just a quick glance from Yan Yunqing, and several of the people in attendant uniforms were beastmen.

"Exchange three thousand gold coins worth of chips for me." Yan Yunqing extended his hand with the bracelet on it.

"Alright, I'll exchange three thousand for you right away... hmm?" The fox-eared young man was all smiles. His hand, which was about to operate, paused, and he looked at Yan Yunqing with confusion, "Three thousand gold coins worth of chips?"

"Yes." Yan Yunqing raised an eyebrow, "Is that not allowed?"

Fox-eared young man: "...No, I'll exchange it for you right away."

The lowest white chip in the primary game represented one thousand gold coins. The minimum exchange here was tens of thousands. How many games could three thousand chips play?

But the fox-eared young man did not continue to question it. Instead, he began to operate the machine in front of him. In a few seconds, he took out three white chips, placed them on a tray, and held them up to Yan Yunqing.

The three lonely chips lay there quietly, looking somewhat pitiful.

Yan Yunqing leaned lazily against the counter, watching the fox-eared young man's movements, and asked abruptly, "I heard you can pay for someone to play with me here?"

The fox-eared young man's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "Yes, this guest, the time of all the 'Man'er' here can be purchased. If you wish for someone to accompany you, sir, you can directly purchase their time."

"Man'er? Is that a unified term for you all?" Yan Yunqing beckoned to him, "What about you? Can your time be bought too?"

The fox-eared young man lowered his face slightly, a faint blush dyeing his cheeks. It was clearly a shy expression, but he obediently leaned closer, tilting his head slightly to press his cheek against Yan Yunqing's palm.

His lake-blue eyes seemed to have little hooks in them. He blinked twice gently, and his curled eyelashes brushed against his fingertips, leaving a slight itch.

"Of course, sir." The fox-eared young man was already openly seducing him, "I am also a 'Man'er'. Of course, my time can also be bought."

The suggestive meaning couldn't be more obvious. It was as if as soon as Yan Yunqing spoke, this fox-eared young man could immediately go with him.

Yan Yunqing was almost so scared that he withdrew his hand, but in order not to show any flaws, he still bit the bullet and touched the other party's face.

Hey, you know what, the feel is actually pretty good.

...I wonder if I can pet that fluffy tail and ears if I buy him back?

Yan Yunqing's thoughts drifted for a moment. His gaze swept over the silvery-white ears and tail, and his heart itched.

Fluffy things on himself are not so good, but if they are on someone else, they are great!

He kind of missed his puppy.

"Oh? But you must be very expensive, right?" Yan Yunqing said with a smile, but he unceremoniously withdrew his hand, "I can't afford you for now."

Seeing the [Charmed] debuff that occasionally popped up and then disappeared in the status bar, Yan Yunqing knew that this fox-eared young man was using a skill on him.

Wait, does everyone in your Mandiper have a charm skill?

The fox-eared young man had just started to exert his power when he was interrupted. He was slightly stunned and even stammered a little, "S-Sir? I'm not that expensive..."

Yan Yunqing ignored the fox-eared young man's self-praise and asked directly, "Besides your type, are there any younger Man'er? Their time can be purchased too, right?"

The primary game was too big. Instead of letting Rocco search for someone like finding a needle in a haystack, it would be better for him to directly pay to buy the other party's time for these few days. This way, it would be logical for that Xiao Ai to stay by his side.

"Uh... yes."

(Pei’er, young attendants raised to serve as gentle playmates within Mandiper’s noble households.)....(Man’er, male companions trained to entertain and serve guests in Mandiper’s underground society.)

The fox-eared young man answered blankly, "The younger ones are 'Pei'er'. Their time can also be purchased."

Yan Yunqing nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, pull up a list for me to see. I'll buy a little Pei'er to be a playmate for my younger brother, so he doesn't keep bothering me here."

Only then did the fox-eared young man realize that there was also an eight or nine-year-old boy next to Yan Yunqing.

He was stunned for a moment, really not understanding why this guest would bring his own younger brother into Mandiper.

But since the person had been let in, it should be fine, right?

Although Yan Yunqing was not buying his time, the fox-eared young man was still very dedicated.

He took out a small booklet and placed it in front of Yan Yunqing, "Any of the 'Pei'er' on this list who are currently available can be purchased."

Yan Yunqing opened the booklet. It only had a few lonely pages. Each line listed the age of a 'Pei'er', and there was even a portrait on the side.

Each one required a considerable amount of gold coins. The most expensive one cost one hundred thousand gold coins per hour.

He hadn't seen the 'Man'er' menu, but he figured the price wouldn't be much lower. As expected, anything related to gambling and prostitution was a high-profit industry.

Thinking of this, Yan Yunqing was a little unhappy. He decided to blow this place up before he left after completing the assessment.

Yan Yunqing quickly browsed through it, but did not find the Xiao Ai that Rocco mentioned. He clicked his tongue in his heart and directly stuffed the booklet into Rocco's arms.

"Since it's a playmate for you, you choose yourself. Play with them properly and don't disturb me, understand?"

Rocco was a little at a loss at first, but after reading Yan Yunqing's subtext, he immediately opened the booklet and flipped through it from beginning to end.

Rocco pointed to a short-haired, round-faced little girl, "Brother, this one looks pleasing to the eye. I want this one."

Yan Yunqing glanced at her. This little girl was not outstanding in appearance. Her face was round, and her nose and cheeks had very obvious freckles.

The price was also very affordable, only one thousand gold coins per hour...

One thousand gold coins an hour?!

Doesn't that mean that buying her for a day would cost twenty-four thousand gold coins?

...Indeed expensive.

"Then this one it is." Yan Yunqing took the booklet back and tossed it on the table, "How do I pay? Directly from my bracelet?"

"Please wait a moment." The fox-eared young man glanced at the little girl on the booklet that Yan Yunqing was pointing at, took out a small black box, fiddled with it a few times, and then said to Yan Yunqing, "
