Chapter 175 Strange Pose
Observing Wen Nan's reaction, Water Monkey flashed a somewhat annoying smile, "I knew you'd like the name of my guild."
Wen Nan gave him a meaningful look, then shook his head, "Back when you were in Taoyuan, getting beaten up every other day wasn't without reason."
Water Monkey nonchalantly waved his hand, leading Wen Nan into his office.
This office not only looks exactly like Taoyuan Mental Hospital from the outside, but even the reception hall inside is identical to the activity room they used to have for patients.
Wen Nan thought to himself, how come he never noticed before that his friend had such a dark sense of humor?
However, compared to these quirks, what surprised Wen Nan more at this moment was—
"The size of your office? It must have cost a lot to buy it, right?"
Water Monkey nodded vigorously, holding up three fingers, "This number!"
Wen Nan was shocked, "Three million?!"
"No no," Water Monkey slowly shook his head, "thirty million!"
Water Monkey had transferred his game account to Wen Nan back then. He only entered this game world later than Wen Nan, so he couldn't have gone beyond a trial map and a beginner instance.
Yet now, the gold coins Water Monkey has, the area of the office he bought, the scale of the guild he established, all comprehensively crushed Wen Nan…
This…
This is unreasonable.
This is really too unreasonable.
Wen Nan was always the man standing at the pinnacle of Taoyuan.
No one in the Taoyuan Mental Hospital topped him.
How could Water Monkey, who was always tailing behind him like a lackey, possibly crush him like this?
Like he guessed Wen Nan's thoughts, Water Monkey chuckled and patted Wen Nan's shoulder, "I think players who came out of our hospital have an unusually high compatibility with this game. I might not be that skilled, just got lucky."
"Really?" Wen Nan looked at Water Monkey with deep meaning.
Water Monkey felt uneasy under his gaze, laughed awkwardly, and pulled him inside, "Come, come, let me show you some awesome big goodies!"
...Big goodies?
Bewildered, Wen Nan followed him inside, only to find a row of hospital beds and... restraint suits on them.
Wen Nan was a bit speechless, "Just this?"
Seeing the other party wasn't interested, Water Monkey tried hard to sell it: "I put a lot of effort into getting these, the latest models. Look at the resilience of this abdominal band, look at the sectional design, it's wonderful!
"You have no idea, Nanzi. Ever since I came here, I've been feeling insecure and often suffer from insomnia. After thinking for a long time, I finally figured it out: I'm bed picky!
"Ever since I got this set, my insomnia was immediately cured."
"Lying on this, wearing these clothes, being tied up tightly, I feel at ease!"
Wen Nan squinted his eyes, suspiciously stared at Water Monkey's face.
Although he looked a bit more weathered than before, it was definitely Water Monkey's face. Plus, this build, this demeanor, this speaking tone, all resembled his buddy's...
Is it really him?
Or... is it another facade similar to the Feng Shui Huan major guild, using some illusions or disguise to test him?
But that doesn't make sense either...
Now that he has ventured out on his own, why test him? Moreover, if someone else was pretending to be Water Monkey, how would they know Taoyuan and that both of them came out of Taoyuan...
Could it be, some other fellow patient entered this game world long ago, joined one of the six major guilds, and recognized his identity in a live stream or game lobby?
If that's the case...
Wen Nan puffed his chest and said righteously, sinking his voice:
"The king covers his tigers on the ground!"
"Stewed mushrooms with little chicken!"
"I and the general relieve our battle robes,"
"Bedding night warmth with fragrant tents!"
"Two red lotus petals bloom tonight,"
"A pond of emerald water awaits for you to bathe."
…
In one breath, Wen Nan recited over ten lines, and Water Monkey, amazingly, perfectly followed up each line.
Wen Nan fell silent for a moment.
Water Monkey chuckled again, "Don't worry! It's really me! As genuine as can be, no mistake!"
Collecting his thoughts, Wen Nan smiled, nodded towards the restraint suit on the bed before him, and asked, "Do you sleep on this every night now?"
"Not always, only when I come over to the game hall these days can I get a good sleep on this. Going into an instance, I have to make do with a sleeping capsule," Water Monkey said, patting the bed's edge, "How about it, Nanzi, give it a try?"
Wen Nan's smile deepened, "It's been too long since I slept on it, you get on first, show me a demonstration."
Water Monkey immediately lay down, tucked the shirt and pants on himself, tied the restraint bands on his feet and waist. The upper restraint bands he couldn't tie himself, so Wen Nan stepped forward, quickly helped him fasten them tightly to the bed.
Water Monkey lay there like a dumpling, chuckling, "So skilled? Aren't you still familiar with it?"
Afterward, Water Monkey nodded his head slightly, the only part he could still move, and flashed a meaningful smile at Wen Nan, "This design is so considerate; with an open-crotch restraint suit.
"Speaking of which, do you remember, back in the day when you were still a Little White Dragon, I helped you righteously by swinging a knife to turn you back into a normal human, you were wearing this kind of restraint suit."
Even remembering such past details, it absolutely couldn't be another player disguised as Water Monkey.
Wen Nan snorted, nodded, "How can I forget such a painful history."
That said, Wen Nan rummaged through the Wenna Guild's equipment storage, finally pulled out a three-foot-long machete.
Seeing the blade flash coldly, Water Monkey finally couldn't laugh anymore, turned pale, looking at Wen Nan in horror, "Nanzi, what do you plan to do?!"
Wen Nan's grin turned sinister, sliding his fingers lightly over the blade, "What else can I do? Of course, it's... to thank you, brother, for that night swing of knife mercy back then!"
As he spoke—
Swish!
The hand rose, the knife fell.
Water Monkey couldn't even utter a word before his head and body were separated.
Blood sprayed out, splattering all over Wen Nan.
He looked down, staring blankly at the bright red blood on him.
Once again, glaring white light flashed before his eyes, followed by a ringing in his ears.
Wen Nan clutched his head, tortured by intense head pain, collapsing on the ground. Once the ringing ceased, he reopened his eyes to find himself lying on the second-floor floor of the Wenna Guild Office.
In front of him, a pair of stunningly beautiful azure blue eyes, furrowed with concern.
From Wen Nan's angle, he couldn't see the lower half of the face because it was obscured by a pair of proud peaks.
This angle…
Wen Nan moved his neck, only to realize he seemed to be resting on a pair of soft thighs.
