Miss Feng was now all attentive care toward Li Xunsi, her previous disdain and cold attitude having completely vanished.
Of course, this wasn’t because her conscience had suddenly awakened, but rather because her reputation was starting to spread among the customer circles.
Her finger techniques had conquered many people, and naturally, there were customers who wanted to specifically request her.
Whether it was customers wanting to experience her finger techniques firsthand, or those wanting to try and counter her, they’d at least have to meet her first to do anything, right?
That way, her reviews would naturally improve.
“No need, I’m done drinking. If I drink too much, I’ll need to pee and that’ll affect my performance,” Li Xunsi said.
“You’re right, we can drink after. Bath first, bath first,” Miss Feng said with a smile.
“No need, I swam all afternoon at school and just showered not long ago. Let’s log in,” Li Xunsi raised her hand to refuse.
“Alright, alright, let’s log in,” Miss Feng was quite satisfied to see how dedicated she was to her work.
“Eh? So soon?” Aiya, who’d been sitting on the side listening to their conversation, hurriedly got up to follow them.
They entered the gaming room, placed their black mobile phones into the machine’s slot, and connected to the Dating App software.
This way, they could quickly log in to their accounts.
Miss Feng started up two Illegal Modified Dream Chambers, and the two of them expertly lay down inside, getting completely covered by the white gel.
Their consciousness successfully linked to the Dream Realm and instantly dove in.

[Who is the hunter? Who is the prey?]
With a prompt sound, Li Xunsi opened her eyes and took in her surroundings—she had arrived once again in a mountain forest filled with intense Buddhist energy.
“So fast! As expected of high-end equipment. If it were my crappy eye mask, it would take at least two minutes to load,” she stretched a bit, sighing with emotion.
Li Xunsi then looked down at her clothes—it was still that Initial Red-Gold Kasaya, but underneath she was also wearing a monk’s robe, making her much less exposed; at least now she looked like a normal person.
But she still didn’t have any shoes, so she could only walk barefoot.
If this were reality, her tender soles would have long since developed calluses, but unfortunately, this wasn’t reality—no matter how much she walked, her feet stayed as soft and pale as ice cream.
But why was she still the Tang Monk?
Why was it still the same Journey to the West cosplay Private Server Dream Realm as before?
Logically, to keep things fresh, the Private Server Dream Realm would update frequently to keep customers’ interest high.
Old Dream Realms would be left unused for a while, and then brought back later for nostalgia.
But thinking carefully, it made sense—it had only been two days, and a new Dream Realm probably wouldn’t be ready that quickly.
“Little Si, Little Si.”
Aiya, sporting a pig nose, popped out from the side and joined Li Xunsi.
She was holding a rake in her hand, which meant she had at least a bit of combat power.
Li Xunsi understood now—Aiya was playing Pigsy.
But it didn’t really matter who was who; it was all just for show, just to add a bit of playful spice.
“Move, quick! The customers have Chicken Radar. We can’t stay in one spot for too long,” Li Xunsi said.
“Let’s go, let’s go! I don’t want to get caught so soon. Last time, that monkey girl messed me up bad,” Aiya replied, leaving the original spot with Li Xunsi and quietly jogging down the mountain.
The two of them dropped to the ground and crawled at turtle speed, using the grass as cover, but not staying in any one place for too long.
Unless a customer literally stepped on their heads, it would be hard to find them.
This was all Aiya’s experience from wasting time—turning herself into a prone demon, hiding from customers, playing hide-and-seek with them.
Of course, this was a passive tactic, and Miss Feng was still monitoring outside.
If they kept this up, their pay would be docked.
But times had changed.
Now, Li Xunsi was being hunted by groups of customers, so laying low was only normal.
“I feel like there’s something extra here… What’s this [Sensitive Belly] and [White Lubricant] stuff?” Li Xunsi noticed something odd in her status bar.
“That’s just your HP and MP bars,” Aiya answered.
“…Why didn’t we have this last time?” Li Xunsi asked.
“Last time was the test server, with a few new Rookies like you to test things out. This is the official server now, and this is how it works: if a customer’s sensitivity bar hits zero, they’re forcibly logged out and have to pay again to get back in. But it doesn’t really matter, since customers don’t fight each other, and Rookies can’t reduce their sensitivity bar, so basically everyone gets to enjoy a full game,” Aiya explained.
“You’re only telling me about this important setting now?” Li Xunsi questioned.
“I got caught as soon as I logged in last time! Didn’t have time to say anything,” Aiya retorted defensively.
“So how do you reduce a customer’s sensitivity bar? Beat them up?” Li Xunsi pressed.
“Beat what? Hitting them doesn’t work, uh, you have to… do that…” Aiya pretended to be innocent, her speech hesitant.
“Drop the act, stop pretending to be pure,” Li Xunsi squinted her eyes, speechless.
But as they were chatting about these risqué topics, the ground behind them suddenly loosened.
“Bang!”
A monster burst out from the earth, quickly attacking the two prone Rookies.
It was a long, white snake tail, extremely agile, and in an instant, it had wrapped around Aiya, capturing her in one go.
“Ah! Little Xunsi, help me!”
Aiya was lifted into the air by the white snake tail, wriggling like a worm, but the snake’s grip was iron-strong—there was no way to escape.
“Please call me by my username, Little Li Li, in here.”
Li Xunsi reacted swiftly, performing an invincible roll to easily dodge the attack, standing up and even managing to throw out a quip.
Nearby, the branches and leaves parted, and a half-snake, half-human monster woman dangled down from a tree, looking straight out of a monster movie.
She wore a pure white junior sister’s robe, with beautiful, exaggerated fairy-tale long hair styled in an ancient fashion, all dressed up prettily.
But her lower body was connected to that long, white snake tail.
The most bizarre thing was that the ends of her hair each had a little snake head—her hair was dozens of long snakes, able to extend infinitely.
“Why does the Journey to the West cosplay Private Server have a Medusa?” Li Xunsi couldn’t help but complain.
Medusa’s long snake-hair slowly extended, binding Aiya’s limbs, suspending her in midair and toying with her.
The snake heads crawled all over, sticking and licking, slithering everywhere.
“Tang Monk? So you’re that notorious aggressive Little Chick everyone’s been talking about? You don’t look so special to me.”
But Medusa had no interest in Aiya—she just let her snake hair torment Aiya, her snake eyes locked on Li Xunsi.
But the clever Li Xunsi looked away, absolutely refusing to meet Medusa’s gaze.
“Oh? You know to dodge my demon eyes?” Medusa murmured in surprise.
“Little Xunsi, help me!”
Aiya was suspended in the air, utterly at the mercy of the snakes, unable to resist at all.
“Goodbye. Also, I’m not Little Xunsi, I’m Little Li Li,” Li Xunsi called out as she turned and ran.
“Ahhh! No! I surrender! Stop! Don’t go in there! Ah!”
Even as her companion’s cries of mixed agony and delight echoed behind, Li Xunsi felt no emotion at all—not even sympathy.
