Some distance away from the store.
Song Jinwoo passed by the fisherman lounging on sandstones and spared this lowkey man that knew how to avoid danger a glance.
A coward. Quite the clever one at that. Too bad this one is just another deadman walking.
Whether it be this life or the last, this soon-to-be murdered man was a mere passerby not worthy enough to enter his eyes.
Since that was the case, there’s no need to befriend or go out of his way to save him.
Besides, once this extra was gone, manipulating those clowns to test the depth of that future calamity will definitely be easier.
A crooked smirk involuntarily appeared on his face. This time around, he’ll get rid of those world destroyers. At all costs.
Seeing the crooked smirk on the passerby anomaly’s face, Yu Zhiye felt a chill run up his spine.
Brother! Why you staring at me?! Did I offend you?
There’s no answer to that question. But it didn’t take a genius to figure out that such a look wasn’t good news at all.
Though it was difficult to translate what appears in novels into reality, Yu Zhiye has read enough to know the tropes...
And he highly suspected that might be the legendary trademark smirk of those overpowered, dragon king returning to be a son-in-law protagonist templates!
Once the crooked smirk gets pulled out, it was either a face-slap or a death sentence!
Yu Zhiye certainly didn’t fancy either!
“Seriously, author-san beyond… what did I do wrong? I’m just a weak and helpless fisherman. Please spare me…”
Fortunately, no danger came knocking anytime soon.
Not long after the anomaly passed by, the four-eyes team set out as well.
Noticing that the mob character, Han Duri, was missing, Yu Zhiye felt something was off, but since they didn’t come to bother him, he didn’t think much about it.
About an hour after they were gone, his spy finally came along to find him.
“Oppa, why did you move all the way out here? Made me walk so far just to meet you.”
Yu Zhiye didn’t even spare the whiner a glance and casually brushed her off. “Noona, getting more exercise can help you stay fit.”
“My, my, so cold.” Chae Yoona plastered herself to the man’s back and hooked his neck from behind.
“Oppa, can’t you show a little more care? Your Yoona almost couldn’t come back to see you today, you know?”
“Oh?” The seductress finally caught Yu Zhiye’s interest. “Tell me. What happened? Did you get discovered by that anomaly?”
“No… shihehe~ something far more interesting happened.”
Following that, Chae Yoona vividly described what happened back in the store and even pieced together all the clues of what happened behind-the-scenes.
As if she was afraid he won’t believe her without evidence, she even took out the souvenir she somehow rolled up!
Now that really gave Yu Zhiye a shock and he almost couldn’t help punishing this naughty evil spirit on the spot!
“Put it away! Put it away! Damn. Why would you bring such an accursed thing back?”
That earned a giggle from the evil spirit. “Sah… isn’t it better to collect things like this. Who knows if they turn out to be useful in the future? That’s what oppa told me, didn’t you?”
Indeed. Yu Zhiye did tell her to collect anything she finds interesting in her spare time, whether it be stones or chests.
He really didn’t expect much. So far, her chest count was still the default two.
But who knew the first thing she brings back would be such a big surprise!
Truth be told, Yu Zhiye really wanted her to just throw that skin away.
It’s just that… the skin turned out to be a green-grade uncommon-tier item!
Throwing such a treasure away was indeed too much of a waste.
Hence, Yu Zhiye could only give her a slap on the wrist and command her to stash the accursed item away.
“Go and deposit it in a chest… Stop being naughty here.”
Seeing that her hand, that wanted to unbutton the pants, get slapped away, Chae Yoona rubbed her wrist and shot him an aggrieved look. “Why stop me, oppa? Are you tired of Yoona already?”
Yu Zhiye gave her a look of disgust. “Noona, don’t give me that set. Wash your hands first. I don’t want to get contaminated by anything dirty.”
“But oppa… Yoona doesn’t need hands.” The seductress licked her lips. “Just mouth is enough.”
That only earned a stern look from the man. “Go, don’t make me say it a third time.”
Chae Yoona looked unhappy, yet she still obediently got up. “Oppa is so mean. You won’t even reward your hard-working noona that risked her life to get firsthand news for you?”
Yu Zhiye knew that to make an employee wholeheartedly work for him, he must give both the carrot and the stick. Thus, he casually gave that booty a slap.
“Go inside first. Wait till I finish up here and I’ll play with you.”
That promise put a smile on the enchantress’s face and the sexy hottie happily sashayed into the door to another dimension.
Once the sexy distraction was gone, Yu Zhiye sighed in relief. “Phew. Finally can fish in peace!”
Since he wanted to double his passive income before noon, he didn’t want to get distracted mid-way and delay big things.
“Career first. Women later.”
Anyhow, by his calculations, it shouldn’t take long.
His core energy was already at the cusp of meeting the 50-point requirement.
With two fishing rods at his service, one or two more rounds of catches and the points should be enough!
“The hour of upgrade is at hand…”
Yu Zhiye grinned. He can’t wait to see what perks upgrading his core to the next level will bring!
