Time in a collapsing world

The establishment of the world bubble anchor point went smoothly. Although they encountered obstacles from other local creatures along the way, they were not at the Herrscher level and could not cause any trouble to Yae Li and Su.

"The last world is in the water, are you ready?" Looking at the new anchor point being implanted under the land in front of him, Yae Li said to Su.

"I have briefly observed the next world. The way of life of the people there is very similar to that of our original world. The only difference is that many of their concepts are opposite to ours."

Sue explained, "[Left] is [Right], [Male] is [Female], [Good] is [Evil]... something like that."

“It feels like this is going to be a very troublesome world…”

Yae Li was helpless. "Forget it. We are just an anchor point. We should try to avoid contact with the locals. I don't want to be assimilated by them and become confused about left and right after returning to my original world."

"Well, let's go."

The two of them shuttled back and forth in the world bubble with ease. After waiting for a few minutes, they could feel the hustle and bustle of the city coming to their ears.

When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a modern city, and on a busy commercial street. Countless locals looked at the two people who appeared out of nowhere in astonishment, not understanding why these two "men" appeared out of nowhere.

Do magic?

It looks nice. I’ll see if I can get its contact information later.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yae Li and Su pushed through the crowd and walked out as if nothing had happened, planning to set up an anchor point in a place with few people and not easy to be discovered.

However, just as they entered the alley and were about to leave, a group of bad girls, who were called "men" locally but were actually women, blocked their way.

The red-haired girl in the lead looked up and down at Yae Li and Su, and said with a frivolous smile: "You look quite rich, lend me some money~"

Yae Li and Su looked at each other and decided to ignore them and walk away.

However, this group of bad girls obviously would not let them go easily. They gathered around and blocked the way of Yae Li and Su.

"Don't be so 'generous' and spend your money to waste your 'blessings'. We would also feel sorry if your two 'handsome' faces got hurt~"

Yaeri did not use the power transfer immediately, but turned out the pockets of her clothes, leaving them empty, innocently showing that she was just a poor man.

"Boss, it seems like they really have no money..."

A little brother behind the bad girl whispered, and the red-haired girl in the lead stroked her chin, "It shouldn't be like this. Looking at the clothes these two 'boys' are wearing, they look decent. How can they be so 'rich'?"

"Hey, kid, you've checked all your pockets. What about the guy next to you? Is he the one with all the money?"

The red-haired girl pointed her finger at Su behind Yae Ri, "You keep squinting your eyes... I can tell at a glance that you're not a 'bad guy'. Do it yourself, or do you want us to search for you?"

"…Li, just go ahead."

Su looked at Yae Li, who thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I wanted to try to start with these locals and understand the situation of this world first, but it seems that these guys will not obey without force."

Yaeri did not intend to use violence to solve the problem for the time being. Just as she was about to use power transfer, she heard sirens coming from outside and someone shouting, "There's a robbery here!"

Seeing this, a group of bad girls had to leave. They made some harsh remarks before leaving, but they were all ignored by Yae Li and Su.

"It seems someone helped us."

Su looked outside the alley where the two were. Under the flashing red and blue light, a girl wearing a mask similar to Kamen Rider appeared in their sight.

Yaeri had just seen a store selling masks outside, so she could guess the origin of the mask on the face of the helpful girl.

The girl had long grey hair and a tall figure. She was wearing modern local clothing, black trousers and a white down jacket. It was winter in this city, and the thin clothes worn by Yae Li and Su might seem more like psychopaths to the locals.

Obviously, the helpful girl also noticed this, but she didn't care. She directed the police officers in the direction of the bad girls' escape outside the alley, and then she approached alone.

"Are you okay? It was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and called the police as soon as I saw you were being followed. How are you? Did anyone steal anything?"

The girl is very enthusiastic and outgoing. With this kind of personality, she is exactly the local guide that Yaeri and Su need right now.

So Su talked to her and chatted with her, and created a local identity for himself and Yae Ri.

The girl seemed to have seen the two people appear out of thin air just now, so she curiously asked about their "magic" techniques, but Su evaded the question with the reason that "the principles of magic cannot be easily disclosed."

"It's good that nothing was stolen. You don't know, that group of 'bad boys' has been doing evil in this area for a long time. The police have caught them many times, but they just won't repent. Now, they failed to commit a crime, and they can be locked up in jail for several days after being caught~"

The girl's tone was filled with resentment towards them. After all, according to her, when she first came to this city, she was penniless like Yaeri and Su, and happened to be targeted by the same group.

Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise she would have suffered physical pain for not being able to pay.

"Are you new to this city too?"

Yaeri got some information from the conversation between the two.

"He's not really new... He came a few months ago, and it hasn't been more than a year, so he can't be considered an old resident, right?"

The girl shook her head. "By the way, since you two have just arrived in this city, you should also want to meet a kind and nice guide, right? It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, how about letting me take you around the streets?"

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Su wanted to be polite, but was stopped by Yaeri. He was worried that being polite would make the enthusiastic guide change his mind.

"But as a guide, I am not free. How about this? We charge by the hour. Let's set a price per hour and settle it all at the end. What do you think?"

"..."

Yaeri opened her mouth and felt as if she had seen the wrong person. This girl was enthusiastic, but not much. As expected, there is no free lunch in the world.

Su turned his head and looked at Yae Ri for her opinion. The latter also wanted to finish the work as soon as possible, so she agreed to this condition.

Although they had no money on them now, to Yae Li, the money in other people's pockets was no different from her own money. It was just a matter of reaching out and taking it.
