Talent has its drawbacks

...About ten minutes later.

Chen Yu walked out of Room 312 with a look of satisfaction.

Behind him, the three girls followed him closely to the door.

"Brother Chen Yu~ are you leaving already?"

Su Si leaned her body almost entirely against the door frame, the top two buttons of her clothes undone to reveal a dazzling sight, and she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. "How about staying a bit longer? I can give you a shoulder massage..."

Zhang Xuele's footing was unsteady, and with an "Aiya," she fell toward Chen Yu's back.

Her chest pressed firmly against Chen Yu's arm. "Little Brother Chen Yu, give me a hand. You've helped us so much, we have to repay you properly..."

Chen Yu suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, "By the way, where are your invitation cards?"

Su Si immediately handed over a black card, her face filled with joy.

Zhang Xuele was the same, looking on with anticipation.

Chen Yu asked curiously, "Two? Is this one from the Bank Squad?"

Zhang Xuele nodded shyly. "Mm, we... made a small exchange..."

Although he didn't know how they had convinced the Bank Squad.

Their desire to join his convoy was practically overflowing.

"Alright, well done."

Chen Yu chuckled and pocketed the invitation cards.

He turned and left.

Su Si: "?"

Zhang Xuele: "?"

"Wait, Little Brother Chen Yu, you have to give the invitation cards back to us!"

"Right, right, you have to give them to us before we can agree, right?"

The two women quickly rushed forward, wanting to reclaim the invitation cards.

Chen Yu made a shushing gesture.

"When the mission is over and there are vacancies in the car, I'll naturally give them to you. Go back for now."

After speaking, Chen Yu had already disappeared into the darkness.

The two women wanted to say more, but they didn't dare follow him into the pitch-black corridor and could only stare blankly.

Eventually, they retreated back into the room.

"This... what does this mean!"

"Exactly, he took our invitation cards!"

"He wouldn't use our invitation cards to invite those people from the bank, would he?"

"Probably not, those people aren't even as pretty as us!"

The two women talked back and forth.

Qiao Xi sat on the edge of the bed nearby, thinking of the scene when Chen Yu took action just now, and couldn't help but feel a bit shocked.

Just how strong was his heart... he could actually smile after seeing those disgusting insects?

Outside the door, in the pitch-black corridor.

Chen Yu didn't stop and went to the Bank Squad.

But unfortunately.

They had actually tremblingly forced each other to complete it.

The cost was the death of one passenger.

Right now, the only ones confirmed not to have completed it were Zhang Longqi and his group.

They didn't have hands at all, so of course, they couldn't complete it.

*Creak—*

When Chen Yu pushed open the door to Room 205.

The smell of blood rushed toward him.

In the corner of the bedroom, two things wrapped in bedsheets moved.

It was Zhang Longqi and Liu Zixuan.

To prevent them from rubbing their wounds open and bleeding to death, Qiao Xi had bandaged them and then tied them firmly from their shoulders to the base of their thighs into two cocoons with bedsheets, leaving only their heads exposed.

Their mouths were also stuffed with cloth strips, so they could only make "wuwu" sounds.

Chen Yu completely ignored them and just held the handle of the wardrobe.

Pull open, push back.

Pull open, push back.

His movements were swift and emotionless.

In the corner, Zhang Longqi and Liu Zixuan's eyes widened, making "wuwu" sounds.

A hundred times, completed quickly.

Chen Yu let go and satisfactorily absorbed the Baleful Energy from the two insect corpses on the ground.

With that, five free attribute point were obtained tonight.

Room 204, one point.

Room 312, two points.

Room 205, two points.

If not for this villa, Chen Yu could hardly imagine where else he could get so many attribute points.

He thought for a few seconds and finally put them into Agility.

He estimated that once Agility reached 30 points, his ability would undergo a qualitative change.

After that, he would consider other attributes.

[Basic Attributes]

constitution: 100

Agility: 25 (15)

Perception: 10

charisma: 12 (2)

spirit: 10

luck: 10

By the time Chen Yu returned to Room 204.

Shen Qingci and Li Mengyao had somehow gotten a deck of poker cards and were sitting cross-legged on the carpet playing against each other.

Lin Yue was curled up in the corner of the sofa. Seeing Chen Yu return, she quickly approached: "Chen Yu, are... are you okay?"

Chen Yu nodded: "I'm fine."

Li Mengyao threw out a card and explained: "Didn't I exchange notes with the Class Monitor? The Class Monitor heard we were bored and sent a set of Mahjong through the Public Backpack! Want to play in a bit?"

Lin Yue whispered: "I... I don't know how..."

Li Mengyao curled her lip: "I can teach you, otherwise we won't be able to sleep anyway~"

Chen Yu waved his hand: "You guys play, I'm going to rest."

Li Mengyao suddenly thought of something, quickly put down the cards, and walked to the table in the living room.

Grabbing with both hands—

Inside a transparent fresh-keeping box, bright red and oily, it was piled high with de-veined crayfish.

A rich spicy aroma instantly wafted out.

"?"

Chen Yu was stunned: "Wait, where did the crayfish come from?"

Li Mengyao was also stunned: "Huh? Isn't this Yuxin's talent? We eat it all the time?"

She wasn't sure what Chen Yu meant by that.

Chen Yu frowned: "Uh, they used their talent in the car?"

Li Mengyao nodded: "Of course, and they brought all of it to us!"

She opened the lid, took a deep breath of the aroma, and sighed sincerely: "It's so good to have the Class Monitor in the car, she's practically the logistics department! Otherwise, even if we had ingredients, we wouldn't be able to eat in a ghostly place like this!"

Shen Qingci also nodded: "Wanyue is indeed meticulous. In our Class, she's the one I'm most at ease with."

Indeed, when doing a mission, having someone send supplies through the backpack was simply bliss!

Ordinary convoys couldn't do this!

But Chen Yu fell into deep thought... Deng Yuxin activated her talent, but he didn't receive any resource returns!

This meant his talent had drawbacks!

Long distance doesn't work?!

Or rather... inside a mission—cannot link—outside a mission?!

Chen Yu rubbed his chin, roughly analyzing... "Eat, eat!"

Li Mengyao urged, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu walked towards the bathroom: "Not hungry, you guys eat, I'm going to wash up and sleep."

A body full of bloody smell would affect sleep quality.

This kind of feeling was something he hadn't experienced in his past life.

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he closed the bathroom door, and soon, the sound of splashing water came from inside.

In the living room, after the girls finished the crayfish, they licked their fingers, still wanting more, and decided to take turns washing up.

Li Mengyao washed first, then Lin Yue.

When it was Shen Qingci's turn, it was already late at night.

She took off her cardigan, her inner clothes outlining full curves and a slender waist.

Her waist-to-hip ratio flashed briefly in the dim light.

She gathered her slightly curly long hair and said to the two women curled up on the sofa: "You two should rest early."

"Mm, goodnight Senior..."

Li Mengyao replied groggily.

The living room gradually became quiet.

After an unknown amount of time.

*Thump!*

A heavy sound came from the bathroom!

Li Mengyao and Lin Yue were startled awake at the same time, looked at each other blankly, and then their expressions changed!

They quickly rushed to the bathroom door!

"Senior? Are you okay!"

"Senior, say something! Don't scare us!"
