The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Four dusty cars followed the sleek red sedan, swaggering through the streets of the upper town before slowly pulling into a parking lot filled with all sorts of adventure vehicles.

The parking lot is large, and there are even more adventurers gathered here. It is surrounded by towering buildings, and several tall landmark buildings can be seen in the distance.

The building behind them had a very modern style and should have been the building of a large company. However, the signboard in front of the building had been removed, leaving only the huge signboard of the Adventure Team Guild.

It was already three or four in the afternoon, and the group, whose stomachs were rumbling, had just finished eating a few pieces of bread in the car.

Just like before in the central district, as soon as they got out of the car, their unfamiliar faces attracted countless scrutinizing glances from those around them.

Ye Xiao turned his head to look for Lu Jinpeng's figure, and saw that her car had just come to a stop, and had already attracted all the curious and scrutinizing gazes.

As soon as Lu Jinpeng got out of the car, the gazes of the adventurers around him became even more eager.

As Ye Xiao walked along, he could hear the hushed conversations of the guys who had stayed behind in front of the car.

"Ms. Lu looks so beautiful today!"

"Look at that butt, it really knows how to wiggle!"

"Captain, don't you really like that girl? Why don't you buy her a drink?"

"Drink my ass! I heard Young Master Liu is pursuing her, who dares to get close to him now!"

"Hey, hey, look! Why are these unfamiliar faces heading straight for Miss Lu?"

"Ha, I don't know where this shameless and reckless person came from!"

"If Young Master Liu sees this, he'll be in big trouble!"

……

Listening to the discussions around them, Ye Xiao and his group had already arrived in front of Lu Jinpeng.

Lu Jinpeng stood straight in front of the car, completely ignoring the looks and comments from the men around him, his expression unusually cold.

Seeing Ye Xiao and his group approach, she forced a smile again, as if it were a formality, and said:

"Captain Ye, please come with me to the guild to register and get a short-term activity pass so that we can stay in the Upper City."

The white fox behind muttered under its breath, "What a nuisance!"

Looking at Lu Jinpeng's completely unmoved smile, Ye Xiao said indifferently, "Okay!"

Lu Jinpeng turned and strode towards the guild hall, her smile impeccable. Lu Zhao leaned closer to Ye Xiao and whispered:

"It seems that they simply treat us as a job."

Ye Xiao looked at Lu Zhao, raised an eyebrow, and teased:

"What? You two share the same surname, trying to get close to them?"

Lu Zhao nudged Ye Xiao's shoulder lightly, protesting the other's teasing.

"Screw you!"

Ye Xiao crossed his arms with interest. "What's wrong? You've got your eye on something? Want to talk?"

Lu Zhao rolled his eyes at Ye Xiao and muttered under his breath:

“We can’t talk here, unless we don’t want to go back. Besides, we’re here on a mission.”

[The Heart of Isaac: There's nothing they can do over there.]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Exactly, that's right, this isn't something to talk about!]

[Big Cousin: Why can't we talk about that side?]

[Wabibabu: Are you stupid? Those people over there are mostly mutants!]

[Chisei-san: What about asymptomatic individuals?]

……

Unlike the lobby in the central district, this lobby is larger and more modern.

The adventure team located in the hall was clearly superior to the adventurers in the central district in terms of both attire and aura.

Their gazes as they sized up Ye Xiao and his group of unfamiliar faces were filled with a sense of superiority and scrutiny.

At the same time, there was also a sense of jealousy and curiosity.

Ye Xiao followed Lu Jinpeng to a corner window. Because of Lu Jinpeng's presence, they cut in line. However, Ye Xiao didn't need to do much; Lu Jinpeng handled most of the communication.

Unlike the guys in the central district, the adventurers in the upper district were clearly more composed. The surroundings were unusually quiet, and the adventurers simply observed them without making a sound.

After completing the formalities, Lu Jinpeng led Ye Xiao and the others out of the lobby, around the guild building, and to the guild hotel not far behind the guild building.

Two receptionists in matching uniforms stood behind the hotel counter, both with meticulously applied makeup. One of them, upon seeing Lu Jinpeng, involuntarily puffed out her chest even more and smirked:

"Oh, Miss Lu!"

Lu Jinpeng ignored the other person, instead glancing at the group behind Ye Xiao, and then addressed the two people behind the counter:

"Are there any rooms left at the hotel? They are an adventure team from out of town and need to stay at the base for a few days. Please arrange a few rooms for them, and the guild will reimburse them."

"From out of town? Temporarily staying?"

The woman behind the counter who had spoken to Lu Jinpeng earlier raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Xiao and his group.

Although Ye Xiao's clothes caught her eye a couple of times, she immediately lost interest upon hearing that he was from outside.

She glanced indifferently at the computer screen in front of her and said:

"Wow, so many people! The hotel doesn't have that many rooms available. Would you mind squeezing in a few rooms? We can give you three rooms."

She smiled slightly, her tone casual, "But don't worry, our rooms have private bathrooms and hot water for showering."

Should we book three rooms and then have three or four people squeeze into one?

Are there really no rooms left? They look like idiots.

Even the fans in the live stream saw through it at a glance.

[Three Foxes: What the hell is this attitude?]

[The Heart of Isaac: No, where does her sense of superiority come from? Who is she giving alms to?]

[Hesitating every year: I bet there are still rooms available]

[Ugly Fish Aji: Am I just imagining things? I feel like this woman is acting a bit strange.]

[Princess Zhuge: That arrogant tone! Where do these people get their sense of superiority? Damn it!]

……

Ye Xiao frowned slightly and glanced at Lu Jinpeng beside him. After all, she was in charge of entertaining them, and he wanted to see her attitude and reaction.

To everyone's surprise, the beautiful woman stood still, seemingly with no intention of speaking.

Ah!

Ye Xiao almost laughed out of anger. It seemed that although Lu Jinpeng was in charge of entertaining them, he was just doing it as a job and didn't really take them seriously. In other words, Ye Xiao and his group were completely looked down upon.

Just as Ye Xiao was about to speak, a voice came from behind him.

"Xiao Peng, so you've been here!"

A young man, followed by several adventurers, strode into the reception hall.

He had his hands in his pockets, his clothes looked to be of very good quality and were very stylish, clearly from a major luxury brand. He wore an expensive watch and had an arrogant expression.

His skin was as fair as Ye Xiao's, and he was clearly asymptomatic.

Behind the young man were several burly men, and they were not strangers; they were the same long-haired men he had met in the laboratory lobby earlier.

Lu Jinpeng looked at the man who had walked up to her, her raised chin slightly lowered, and the smile on her face was different from her previous perfect and mechanical expression. She said:

"How did you come?"

The young man walked to Lu Jinpeng's side, put his arm around her waist, glanced casually at Ye Xiao, and leaned close to Lu Jinpeng's ear, speaking in an ambiguous manner:

"Didn't I hear that some fly got up near you?"

As he spoke, the man glanced smugly at Ye Xiao.

Lu Jinpeng smiled and said, "You misunderstand. These guests were sent by Chairman Fang."

"Know!"

The man suddenly extended his hand to Ye Xiao and began to introduce himself.

"Liu Yuntong!"

As he spoke, he pointed with his thumb to Ren Ming and the others behind him, "Red Dragon, the five-star adventure team of Red Maple, I sponsored them!"

Ye Xiao glanced at the hand in front of him and was about to shake it when Liu Yuntong suddenly pulled her hand back, took out a cigarette case from her pocket, opened it, took out a cigarette, and put it in her mouth.

Ren Ming, standing behind her, tactfully took out a lighter and lit the cigarette Liu Yuntong was holding.

He took a deep breath, then slightly closed his lips and exhaled a puff of smoke towards Ye Xiao's face.

Smoke carrying the scent of nicotine swirled in the air and landed on Ye Xiao's face.

[The Heart of Isaac: Grass!]

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with a large number of words separated by symbols or transliterated, all containing a high level of slang!

Ye Xiao merely chuckled lightly, then raised his hand and gestured with his fingers toward Lu Zhao and the others behind him.

Lu Zhao immediately understood, reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and placed it between Ye Xiao's outstretched fingers.

However, that wasn't all. Chen Ge and his group behind him pulled out cigarettes from their pockets, almost one in each of them, and then, with the sound of lighters striking, one after another, high-end cigarettes were lit.

Then, with synchronized movements, they exhaled white smoke that rolled like thunderclouds, instantly engulfing the stunned people opposite them.

Those pairs of eyes were naked and direct:

"Damn it, so you think you're the only one with cigarettes? You're so smug!"
