After a day, upon returning to Tang Shuang’s small apartment, Gu Xi had completely transformed.

Gu Xi was wearing a long black robe outside, but after taking it off, he had on a shirt and pants underneath.

There were also some small decorations chosen by Tang Shuang for Gu Xi.

According to Tang Shuang, these little accessories were a must.

Otherwise, dressing the same as everyone else makes it hard to showcase one’s personality.

Although Gu Xi didn’t quite agree with this view, he appreciated Tang Shuang’s kind intentions and didn’t refuse.

However, Gu Xi found that after Tang Shuang dressed him up like this, he looked like a standard Undead Mage when wearing the black robe.

No matter the strength, at least no one would mistake Gu Xi’s profession at first glance.

Gu Xi planned to wear the black robe while studying at Netherworld University and change back to his disguise when returning to his original world to participate in the Creation.

Without the black robe, Gu Xi appeared like a rich young man with some hidden skills at his disposal.

Anyone who glanced at Gu Xi would be captivated by him.

Gu Xi wasn’t particularly fond of this attire.

Actually, what he fancied today was a shirt with an open front that shows off his chest muscles.

Yet as soon as Gu Xi suggested this idea, Tang Shuang outright rejected it.

"Now that you’re in Yin City, don’t bring out that idea of hiding yourself.

Among the Undead Mages, you should stand out.

Rather than having people mistake you for an Elf Shooter or a Warrior.

I truly wonder how you practiced your Fitness Skill."

Afterward, Tang Shuang matched various accessories for Gu Xi, all centered around Gu Xi’s new persona.

The final result was as follows.

According to Tang Shuang, if Gu Xi goes to report to Netherworld University looking like this, the teachers there would immediately see that Gu Xi has a significant background.

This way, Gu Xi would find life in school a bit smoother.

After all, whether you have a background makes a difference in some details.

For instance, if you don’t have a background, you must reside in the school dormitory and wait a certain period before going out to rent a place.

But if you have a bit of background, off-campus accommodation arrangements become much easier.

Additionally, aspects like game queuing and dungeon participation are also affected.

There are subtle differences between having a background and not having one.

Tang Shuang, having studied at Netherworld University for so many years, chose this persona for Gu Xi.

She did it to ensure Gu Xi could have a better life at Netherworld University.

Gu Xi understood this point, so even if he was uncomfortable, he learned to deal with the details of his clothing as Tang Shuang requested.

"Miss, guest, you’re back."

Upon returning to Tang Shuang’s small apartment, Tang Xiaoxiao, who had rested for a day, floated out again.

She took the black robes that Gu Xi and Tang Shuang had taken off, bowing her head deeply, no longer daring to add random things to the food.

Gu Xi didn’t notice Tang Xiaoxiao’s attitude but addressed Tang Shuang.

"Senior, where are we going tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I’ll take you to the Corpse Market, then accompany you to house hunt, and the day after I’ll go with you to enroll."

Tang Shuang had already figured out the plans for the next two days.

As Gu Xi entrusted everything to her, she naturally planned everything clearly for him.

"The Corpse Market is a place I frequently visit; besides carrying various quality corpses from games, it sometimes has player corpses too.

But the reason I recommend going there is that they handle things very thoroughly.

The pre-death information of corpses is investigated quite extensively.

This is why players come here to select when they want to create Contracted Undead.

Such Contracted Undead tend to be more specified.

As for housing, what are your plans?"

"Originally, I wanted to buy a villa, but hearing about Yin City’s housing prices, I feel I might not be able to afford it.

So an apartment like yours seems like a good choice.

Living alone is rather comfortable, and it’s not crowded when someone visits."

Honestly, these two days living in Tang Shuang’s small apartment made Gu Xi feel quite comfortable.

Staying here doesn’t feel like living in a hotel, where you’re detached from everything.

But it has a warmth that you can’t experience in a hotel.

This was something Gu Xi hadn’t experienced before.

The places Gu Xi had lived in before were either random spots in the wild.

These places lacked anything, so finding a spot to sleep was good enough.

Or the dormitories of a Guild or various city hotels.

All the rooms there were identical, devoid of any life feeling.

Sky Garden building 1, suite 1001, was indeed a good place, but upon arrival there, Gu Xi always entered Yalidu City immediately.

He rarely stayed at Sky Garden.

Even when staying there, it wasn’t as much as staying on the Holy Silver Evil Coffin.

Of all these places, only Tang Shuang’s felt like home.

That’s why when Tang Shuang asked Gu Xi what kind of house he wanted, he immediately expressed this requirement.

"Junior, that makes it easier.

There are many such apartment buildings in Yin City with a large selection available.

If you, junior, don’t have too many requirements and aren’t in a hurry, you could buy an apartment farther from the school, which would be cheaper."

"Money is not an issue really; I mainly want a more stable house, preferably not decorated yet, and to customize it as I wish."

"I understand, so tomorrow I’ll accompany you to walk through more places.

By the way, junior, are you hungry? If so, I’ll have Xiaoxiao prepare some noodles for you."

As soon as Tang Shuang finished speaking, Tang Xiaoxiao disappeared instantly.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like there had never been an Undead here.

Tang Shuang glanced at where Xiaoxiao hid, "Xiaoxiao knows how to hide at critical moments, but forget it, I’ll cook today and let you taste my skills."

"No noodles for me?"

Gu Xi understood why Tang Xiaoxiao hid instantly; she was afraid.

Tang Shuang rolled her eyes at Gu Xi, "No, I’m too tired today; I can’t make a big feast. We’ll just eat something simple."

Listening to Tang Shuang, Gu Xi couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Seeing Gu Xi laugh, Tang Shuang realized what was wrong with her words just now.

She dismissed other matters and tossed her things aside.

"Are you looking for trouble? Believe me, I won’t let you out tomorrow."

"You? Didn’t you see Tang Xiaoxiao hide straight away?"

"You can’t think I only have one Contracted Undead, can you? Today, I’ll show you the power of the Bone Grinding Disc!"
