Chen Feng's mouth dropped open. He had always thought that under the curse, the only option was to confront the Boss Lady head-on. Who would have thought there was a second way to clear the level?

Thinking back now, She Qingqing was indeed a good person.

No, she should be called a good snake.

When Chen Feng first crossed over, She Qingqing had urged him to leave. At the time, he thought she was just driving away a vagrant. But now it seemed she was actually advising him to leave this dangerous place. Back then, Chen Feng couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind her actions.

"No time left, come with me!"

A pair of fair, jade-like hands grabbed Chen Feng, the delicate skin sending a slight chill through him.

Chen Feng was pulled out of the Internet cafe just like that.

Leaving like this didn't seem so bad.

But, damn it, he couldn't just abandon those nine points.

If this were his first cycle, Chen Feng would have run without hesitation.

But he had already spent points to buy a one-time warrior's protection and still needed to complete the Water Ghost mission. If he didn't confront the Boss Lady, the Water Ghost would leave immediately due to mission failure, and the protection would be wasted, not to mention the points reward for eliminating the Happiness Internet Cafe itself.

All in all, it would be a huge loss.

After much hesitation, Chen Feng said, "Sorry, I can't leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of slippery, greasy, cold hands suddenly grabbed She Qingqing's neck.

Chen Feng said, "Do it."

He added, "Don't kill her, just knock her out."

After a while.

Zhu Xianxian, noticing She Qingqing's prolonged absence, asked irritably, "Where did she go?"

Chen Feng replied perfunctorily, "Maybe she went to the bathroom."

Zhu Xianxian was quite dissatisfied. Although there were six employees in the Internet cafe, excluding Chen Feng, the four Imitation Human attendants were useless except for saying 'reboot,' so the front desk work was still very busy. Now that one person was missing, all the burden fell on her.

Taking advantage of Zhu Xianxian's busyness, Chen Feng opened the cash register and borrowed five hundred yuan.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

After greeting her, Chen Feng grabbed an umbrella from the entrance and found a nearby supermarket.

The supermarket owner was sitting in a chair playing on his phone.

Chen Feng approached and asked, "Buddy, do you have any insecticide?"

The owner looked up and said, "Yes, it's all on the back shelf."

Chen Feng confirmed, "How effective is it?"

"I'm running a store, would I sell you fake insecticide?" The owner assured Chen Feng, "Don't worry, it's very safe. Even if used indoors, it's not very irritating to humans."

Chen Feng turned to leave, "Then I don't want it."

"Are you just looking for trouble?" The owner was taken aback, "You don't want the safe one, do you want something more harmful?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, I like it strong."

"Alright."

The owner went into the back warehouse, rummaged for a while, and brought out a white sealed plastic bucket with no label, "Here you go, guaranteed to be strong."

Chen Feng confirmed again, "What if this stuff doesn't kill the bugs?"

"If it doesn't, bring it back, and I'll drink it myself, okay?" The owner said disdainfully, "This is organophosphate pesticide, have you heard of methamidophos? It's so toxic that it has to be diluted with water to use. Spray it in the fields, and not just bugs, but fish, shrimp, and frogs will all die."

"Due to its high toxicity, it's been banned for a long time. I got this secretly, satisfied now?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Chen Feng tossed the money, "Give me two pounds to try."

After returning from the supermarket.

Chen Feng began the next step of his plan, "Xianxian, want a drink?"

Zhu Xianxian asked, "I don't drink coffee."

Of course, Chen Feng knew Zhu Xianxian didn't drink coffee. From a biological perspective, caffeine is almost lethal to the nervous system of invertebrate spiders.

So Chen Feng said, "It's juice."

Zhu Xianxian happened to be a bit thirsty, so she nodded, "Then I'll have a glass."

"Alright."

Chen Feng said as he poured coffee concentrate heavily into the juice.

Here's a cup of cappuccino for you!

Shaking slightly.

Chen Feng brought the mixed, spiked juice to Zhu Xianxian.

Next, it was time to disperse the audience.

Chen Feng snapped his fingers, signaling the Water Ghost to cut the power to the entire Internet cafe.

"My pentakill!"

"This sucks, I'm out!"

After the customers left, Zhu Xianxian, who had drunk the juice, gradually turned red and became excited, "So hot, what did you just give me to drink?"

"Coffee, I added coffee."

As Chen Feng spoke, he picked up the white plastic bucket filled with pesticide. According to the plan, he would unscrew the bucket lid and pour the undiluted, 100% concentrated pesticide directly on Zhu Xianxian, then leave gracefully.

But an unexpected problem arose.

Chen Feng couldn't open the bucket lid.

It was sealed tighter than a jar of preserved fruit.

The situation became quite awkward.

Zhu Xianxian's face darkened, questioning, "Why did you deliberately add coffee to my drink?"

"Uh, I thought you were staying up too late, your eyes were too red, so I gave you some coffee to perk you up, do you believe me?" Chen Feng said as he retreated towards the Internet cafe entrance.

With a crash.

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, cold wind and rainwater poured in through the Internet cafe entrance.

Zhu Xianxian sensed something was wrong, "Water Ghost?"

Just as a battle was about to break out, Chen Feng handed over the plastic bucket, "Here, help me open the lid."

Water Ghost: "......"

Zhu Xianxian: "......"

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

With a snap, the lid fell to the ground, and Chen Feng splashed the pesticide from the bucket onto Zhu Xianxian!

The pungent smell of pesticide quickly filled the Internet cafe.

After a brief silence, Zhu Xianxian let out a cry similar to an insect's wail, then her entire body cracked open, scattering into a mass of crawling little spiders.

"You dare! Ah!"

Zhu Xianxian trembled all over, trying to reform into human shape, but under the pesticide's corrosion, the spiders wearing human skin fragments scattered in all directions, completely ignoring Zhu Xianxian's commands.

Meanwhile, the four Imitation Human attendants had already had their necks twisted by the Water Ghost, lifeless.

Watching Zhu Xianxian collapse to the ground, convulsing and turning into a mess of insect corpses.

Chen Feng thought: Though they're monsters, like the Water Ghost, once you know their weakness, they're not so formidable.

But just then, an invisible thread suddenly shot towards Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was unprepared, but the Water Ghost wasn't.

With quick reflexes, it caught the thread and pulled out a noticeably larger individual from the pile of insect corpses, crushing it underfoot!

This was Zhu Xianxian's true form!

Chen Feng felt a stinging pain on his face, and when he touched it, it was actually blood. He was instantly filled with fear. The thread had lightly grazed his cheek, drawing blood. If the Water Ghost hadn't blocked it, he would have been decapitated and sent back to reload his save.
