Chapter 10 Triggering Rules

The man's attention was completely focused on the strange woman in front of him, and he didn't notice the wailing of the barrage at all.

The new companion behind him huddled behind the sofa, trembling and not daring to say a word. He was so frightened by what he saw.

After opening the window, as the man expected, the woman slowly stuck her head in through the window and looked around the living room. After glancing for a moment, she slowly retracted her head with an unchanging smile on her face, "It's indeed not here."

"I told you it's not my house." He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the woman withdraw her head from the window. He quickly took two steps forward to close the window, still speaking arrogantly, "Since you've seen the living room, shouldn't you apologize to me, ugly woman?"

The woman laughed, and the moment the man approached the window, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's collar.

The man shuddered with fear. He was originally a little cautious, but he reacted very quickly and took out the knife in his arms to cut open his collar, which was being grabbed. He retreated in panic and fell to the ground, his face pale.

"Hehehe...what a pity." The woman narrowed her eyes and pinched the torn collar in her hand. The corners of her mouth twisted slightly, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "I almost bit your head off."

The man's face was pale and blue, and he was terrified. If he hadn't completed several dungeons before and was still a little prepared and reacted quickly, he might have been bitten by now.

He gasped for breath and gradually calmed down. Thinking of how he had just been frightened to the point of rolling on the ground in front of the entire town, he became furious again. Taking advantage of the fact that the woman was no longer able to reach him, he swore at the ground, "You bastard! Come in and bite me if you dare! Even if you want to bite your grandfather's head off, you'll have to see if your neck is long enough!"

"I've been through several dungeons and have seen all sorts of weird things! Why would I be afraid of a woman like you who looks like she's been dead for four or five days and hasn't been buried yet?!"

Amidst the shouting and cursing, the woman's smile twisted. Her sharp nails scratched the windowsill, and the smile on her mouth widened. The anger in her eyes could not be concealed. "Okay."

She was already a little angry after being humiliated by Yin Xiu, and now someone dared to challenge her face to face. This time, the players were not as cautious as before.

As the woman's smile grew increasingly wild and excited, she slowly thrust her head through the window. The bones in her neck cracked, her flesh twisted and torn. Her neck visibly grew longer and stretched, her head steadily approaching the man on the ground.

When the man realized something was wrong, he turned around and tried to escape in panic.

As the body got up from the ground, a huge mouth behind him suddenly bit down, and blood splattered everywhere, spreading on the living room floor.

A headless body staggered as if trying to escape and slowly fell to the ground.

"Ah ...

The woman's head retracted from the window and fell intact on her shoulders. She twisted her neck and the bones made a cracking sound, but except for the blood on her face, her body did not change at all.

"It tastes terrible." The woman swallowed with a sound in her throat, her bloodshot eyes full of disgust. She ignored the other player who had hidden in the room, turned around and walked away slowly.

The players in the small towns of all dimensions were stunned by the scene just now.

The first player who got into trouble opened the curtains because he heard knocking on the window and did not react to the rules in time, and the woman saw the little girl playing in the living room.

Her head broke through the window and killed the little girl. The player was so frightened that he collapsed and ran out. The little girl's death caused him to break the rules and die as well.

Then, the woman hit a wall with Yin Xiu and left in disappointment.

It was correct to imitate Yin Xiu's actions, but the man just now obviously did not take this novice copy seriously. He was too arrogant. He had obviously avoided the danger but still took the initiative to provoke it, which led to his own death.

His death prompted all the players in the small town who were watching the live broadcast to quickly send messages to the surviving players in their own town, telling them the correct operations.

Danmu can be seen by players currently in the dungeon, so turning on Danmu will occasionally help them with their strategy, which is beneficial. However, players can only see Danmu sent from their own town, not from other towns. However, players in their own town can see the screens of everyone in the dungeon.

This means that players in other towns can watch other people's screens to come up with strategies, and then tell the players in their own town. This kind of real-time strategy requires a big boss in the same copy at the same time, and the big boss must encounter the problem before them before they can operate.

Obviously, Yin Xiu is the big boss.

The messages in the barrage can also be blocked freely. Occasionally, some unreliable remarks will affect the mentality of players who are currently in the dungeon, so players can choose whether to close it and not view any barrage.

This is a choice that very few players would make. After all, the benefits of receiving off-field assistance outweigh the disadvantages.

Yin Xiu is one of the very few.

"That player just now died tragically."

"That's what he deserves. He copied the homework from Yin Xiu, so how dare he commit suicide?"

"But his death allowed the others to survive. Now everyone is cleaning up the house and hiding the little girl and her things so the woman won't see them and won't get suspicious."

"Although Yin Xiu was caught off guard when he took the lead, he was still quite stable."

"The main thing is that they are not afraid and have clear ideas. Why is it that when I was going through the dungeon, there was no big guy like Yin Xiu at the same time?"

"Yeah... I kind of want to be Boss Yin Xiu's roommate, so I can be led by him."

"You better be careful. Don't forget who made the rules for this town. If that person says you can't be Yin Xiu's roommate, then you definitely can't. Don't try to get yourself killed."

"But he didn't say why not! He made everyone in the town avoid Yin Xiu. If I had known Yin Xiu was a big shot, I would have definitely tried to build a good relationship with him. Look at how useless his roommate is now. He just sits in the corner."

"Haha, brother, listen to my advice. Our town is united, and there are very few players who die suddenly. It's all because of his rules. If he says you can't be Yin Xiu's roommate, then you definitely can't. Don't question it."

"So why don't you tell me why you can't? You're bullying the newcomers and playing tricks on me, right?"

The barrage began to quarrel.

After learning about Yin Xiu's identity and seeing his copy operations, the people in the town began to split. Some of those who had originally kept their distance from Yin Xiu tried to make friends with this hidden pension tycoon, while others abided by the town's rules and kept their distance from Yin Xiu.

Both sides began to argue and it was difficult to distinguish them for a while.

Until a comment drifted by faintly: "Everyone, I'm new here... I'd like to ask, who exactly is this "he" you're all talking about?"

"Have you read the rules sheet the town has handed out?"

"I've read it and know it by heart."

"He wrote the notes on the back of the rules sheet. He's the manager of our town and also a player, but he's often in and out of dungeons making guides and rarely stays in town."

"Ask everyone to avoid Yin Xiu. This is the rule he established a long time ago."

"Do you know why Yin Xiu still lives alone?"

"That's because everyone who broke this rule died."
