Outside the auction venue, in a garden somewhere.

A cleaner sat cross-legged on a stone, holding up his straw hat while complaining: "What is this bastard Yuanye doing? Isn't he confessing his love? He's thanking me and being persistent, it's really scary, he's a complete pervert, Ye Kong better not be fooled by this kind of low-level pity--"

At this point, she froze for a moment: "Forget it, how could the heartless Ye Shiyi do that?"

"Who is this person pretending to be an immortal demon? She actually has friends I don't know about? Could she be using this as leverage to threaten them? Otherwise, I shouldn't be unaware of this..."

"Hey! Auntie? Auntie over there! Sweep the peels over here!"

The shouting came from far away and finally almost hit his ear, finally making the cleaner who was wearing earplugs jump up suddenly.

"what?"

"What are you cleaning?! You're still lazy here when we're so busy today! Hurry up and sweep up the fruit peels before going back to help on the boat!"

"…on the boat?" The cleaner grasped the point, "What are you going to do on the boat?"

"Dance party! Are you out of your mind? Eh..." The man suddenly frowned in confusion, "Why do you look so unfamiliar? I don't think I've seen you before. Who are you?"

"…I'm Wang Shimin's niece. My aunt has the flu and is getting an IV drip, so I'm here to take her place."

"...Shimin seemed to have a cold the past two days. Forget it, don't get on board."

"Hey hey hey!" The cleaner quickly grabbed the person who was about to leave, "Why can't I go in? You won't deduct my aunt's salary, right?"

"No deductions! It's just that no outsiders are allowed on board. Even the journalists and media that sneaked in today are not allowed in, and people like you are certainly not allowed in either."

"Hey hey hey! At worst I can just sign a confidentiality agreement! If my aunt knew I was being lazy she would definitely scold me..."

"No, it just won't work."

The man shook his head firmly and left quickly.

Gradually putting away his fawning and panicked smile, the young cleaner raised his hat and sneered at the back: "You don't want to let temporary workers in?"

She rubbed her clean, slender fingers together and said, "Then I can be your guest, right?"

She turned her head to look in the direction of the auction venue, squinted her eyes, and pushed her cleaning cart away again.

"Fuck! Is No. 3 really an immortal demon?"

In the auction hall, it had been a while since the chess game, but it was obvious that everyone present was still deeply immersed in that shocking chess game.

"Who is the Undead Demon?"

"That's why this auction was initiated. Didn't Qin Wu want her copyright? He knew she was going to participate in this auction, so he specially sponsored it and moved the venue to Nangang, and even asked Zhu Qiangwei to take over personally..."

"Speaking of which, why didn't I see Zhu Qiangwei today? I thought that since Qin Wu asked, she must be the auctioneer herself."

"It is said that she was unable to get out of bed due to the flu a few days ago... No, the point now is that No. 3 is actually an immortal demon! I am really her fan! But I never dreamed that she could actually play chess!"

"Is the point that she can play chess? The point is that she beat the number one chess player!"

"Did they let the water out? They definitely did."

"Based on my limited chess skills... I can't tell."

"No slack! We've been playing for more than half an hour, and Yuanye's style of play is still very sharp, showing no mercy at all."

"The Undead Demon doesn't look sharp, his chess style is quite steady and even gentle..."

"I know, her style is to be subtle and silent, and give you a big blow when you are not prepared..."

"But no matter how you look at it, this is too unfair. If he's a genius at painting, how can he also be a genius at chess?"

“Maybe this is what it means to be one size fits all.”

"What can I do? I admire her even more. Can I go get a few autographs later?"

"Why did she come to the auction? I didn't see her holding up a sign - apart from this chess game, could it be that she heard that Yuanye was coming and came to play chess with him?"

"I don't know, but I finally know why my mom said that several bosses from film and television groups were here. They must be here for the copyright of the Undead Demon."

"There are also several game development companies. Most of them are from the Internet industry. There is even a boss from a live streaming platform who is here..."

"Won't the dance be lively later? Will there be a fight?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

……

In the midst of chaos.

Only Wen Rong in the second row was staring at the figure in front of him.

She is indeed a woman who you can tell is very young just by looking at her back.

Pretending, hiding one's head and showing one's tail, covering oneself up so tightly, but still only wanting to be in the limelight...

He was disdainful and angry.

I heard all kinds of admiration and praise, exaggerated worship, and even someone in the crowd shouting "I am your fan, I will follow you forever", and such behavior did not arouse contempt and ridicule, but kind applause and response.

——She is just a yellow-haired girl in her twenties whose bones haven't fully grown yet, an orphan with nothing, but she can be pursued by so many powerful young men. Even a group boss with an extraordinary status and power like me has to chase after her.

What a lucky life.

It's really not worth it.

If people are too lucky, it will only make the fairness of the world unbalanced.

Besides, such people simply cannot afford such good luck.

Lists flashed through his mind involuntarily, listing the achievements of the Undead Demon's works, as well as copyright fees, profit sharing fees, etc. Strings of zeros flashed before his eyes, making the man's face under the mask even stiffer, and his eyes even more staring, almost possessed.

Such a strong sight is hard to ignore.

The "Immortal Demon" suddenly turned his head without warning and looked directly into Wen Rong's eyes.

Although he was wearing a mask, Wen Rong was still frightened and almost exposed.

After a few seconds, he pretended to be confused and said, "Immortal demon...Miss, right? May I ask what can I do for you?"

"...Aren't you the one staring at me?"

"...Haha," Wen Rong laughed in surprise, and said gracefully, "You may not know who I am, but I won't keep staring at a little girl like you who can be my daughter's age. I love my late wife deeply...I heard that you are a very good comic book author, so you should focus on developing in the direction of an artist and not have any other ideas."

“…”The face under the mask of “Undead Demon” almost cracked.

If it weren't for her amazing self-control, she would have almost yelled at the other end of the earphone, "Who the hell is this old man? Have you ever messed with him?"

But all I heard in my earbuds was a faint voice saying, "Say what you think and ignore him."

The "Immortal Demon" then calmly glanced at the elegant and smiling old man, retracted his gaze, sat up straight, and uttered a few words that everyone nearby could hear: "Self-conceited old man, yue——"

Wen Can on the side silently turned his head and glanced at her.

Qin Wuze burst out laughing without any hesitation.
