Chapter 1551: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (13)

“You really don't want to stay? If you remain here, not only can you eat delicious buns every day, but you can also become immortal. As long as Happiness City exists, you won't die.”

Yin Xiaofei was somewhat stunned. But when she thought about how everyone in Happiness City looked, she had no desire to spend her days wearing a constant smile. Shaking her head, she said, “No, I'm sorry. I don't want to stay.”

“Oh…” The old woman's smile remained unchanged as she stretched out her wrinkled hand toward Yin Xiaofei. “Miss, one bun costs one hundred Rubik's Cube Coins.”

Yin Xiaofei: “…”

System: Hahaha.

Even Tang Guo couldn't help laughing. When she saw Yin Xiaofei rummage through her pocket and only pull out two Rubik's Cube Coins, she covered her mouth with her fan, laughing even harder.

Yin Xiaofei hurriedly ran over to Yin Rui. Upon hearing what had happened, his expression changed dramatically.

He had finally managed to force down ten bowls of food and earn one hundred Rubik's Cube Coins.

And now Yin Xiaofei had swallowed one bun and spent all one hundred?

Though angry, she was his little sister after all. In the end, he reluctantly handed over all his Rubik's Cube Coins.

The old woman pocketed the coins and wandered back into the crowd.

“You're newcomers, right? You fell for that old woman's trick. She was trying to make you stay in Happiness City as laborers.” A man nearby spoke up. “Don't be fooled by those smiling faces. They're not good people. Just remember one thing—there's no such thing as a free lunch, and you won't get tricked.”

“Did you hear that? There's no free lunch.” Yin Rui knocked Yin Xiaofei lightly on the head and rubbed his bloated stomach. “I can't eat another bite today. We'll come back tomorrow. At least I ate for free, so that's one day's food expenses saved.”

Zhai Chenming had also reached his limit. After hearing about Yin Xiaofei's experience, they became even more convinced that Happiness City was not a place to stay.

“It's still early. Why don't we look around some more? Maybe we'll discover something else,” Yi Yingxue suggested.

By the time they finished wandering around, the sun was already setting.

They had learned many things about Happiness City, including the fact that if they chose not to remain there forever, they would be randomly teleported after one month to another place a hundred times more dangerous than Happiness City.

Even after hearing that, none of them planned to stay.

There was also a Happiness Tree in the city. But because time was limited and everyone returned indoors after dark, no one was allowed to approach the tree. They decided to rest first and continue investigating the next day.

Their inn was located close to the city gate.

As Tang Guo reached the entrance of the inn, she saw a large crowd gathered near the city gate.

People from all directions were being driven toward it.

“When night falls, everyone who doesn't have enough Rubik's Cube Coins to pay for lodging gets thrown out,” Yi Yingxue explained. “They won't be allowed back in until dawn. If any of these people survive until tomorrow morning, most of them will choose to remain in Happiness City.”

“That's too inhumane,” Yin Xiaofei couldn't help saying.

Tang Guo replied, “These are the rules of Happiness City. Twenty Rubik's Cube Coins are enough to rent a room for one night. It's actually very simple. You should be asking yourselves why they can't even earn twenty coins.”

“But if they're driven out and chased by all those monsters, they'll die,” Yin Xiaofei argued.

“They can choose to agree immediately to remain in Happiness City forever. Then they won't die.”

Tang Guo smiled faintly.
