Chapter 71, An Unexpected Robbery

Zhong Bingxuan is currently more inclined to believe that the latter is fake and the former is real, but this is just her personal guess and there is no real evidence. Perhaps the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes are indeed the special products mentioned in the main quest, and there are not many of them. If you miss these two special products, you will not be able to complete the main quest.

Zhong Bingxuan cannot put her teammates' lives in danger based on her own speculation, so someone needs to verify which of the rules, rules seven and eight, is correct.

Presumably, some of the other players who came to this instance have triggered the same main quest as Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo, so it would be good to let them test the waters first.

Rule Nine: Damaging public facilities is not allowed in this store. This has not happened yet, but according to Zhong Bingxuan's intuition, it is very likely to be true.

Rule 10: Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop closes at 6:00 AM. Please be mindful of your visit time. It seems there are no issues.

Wait, Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop closes at 6:00 AM. Customers need to pay attention to the closing time. What if they don't pay attention and come to Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop during the closing time?

Unbeknownst to them, everyone had already violated the tenth rule of death.

Zhong Bingxuan felt a chill run down her spine. If she hadn't discovered it in time, she probably wouldn't have found this secret until all her teammates were dead and she had to reload her save.

[Undeterred by Rain or Shine (Captain Zhong Bingxuan)]: Note that rule number ten is that the store closes at 6 PM. If you come to Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop at any other time, you may be marked with a strange symbol. Please be careful.

Zhong Bingxuan quickly sent messages to her other two teammates, especially Linlin, who already had a death lock-on, and with another one added, her risk level was the highest.

"There's no time. We need to find clues in this instance quickly, defeat the monsters, or have the two of you complete the main quest first. If things get too dangerous, we'll just leave."

Zhong Bingxuan herself wasn't worried, as she had skills to fall back on. Her other teammates weren't. Li Hanmo, like her, had to stay here for seven days and couldn't leave early, but the other two teammates weren't, so they could leave sooner.

Zhong Bingxuan couldn't guarantee that she could successfully save everyone, so letting her teammates leave in advance was the best option.

"Then you go over there, I'll go to the other side, let's hurry up and check the situation on the third floor."

Compared to the two floors below, the third floor in the morning is clearly more eerie. Danger comes with opportunity, and clues can be found here much more easily than on the two floors below.

Zhong Bingxuan nodded, accepting Fu Yuchen's suggestion, and walked towards the east.

Zhong Bingxuan had no interest in checking those suits and ties; she was more interested in whether there was anything usable in the closets in the room.

Hmm, there's also a white men's trench coat here, which looks completely out of place with the suits and ties outside. Zhong Bingxuan examined the trench coat closely and noticed that it looked like it had been hit by a sharp object in the chest area. After gesturing carefully, she realized it looked like a nail.

After searching around, Zhong Bingxuan found a bloodstained nail with a foul odor in the seam at the very bottom of the cabinet.

Just in case, Zhong Bingxuan took out a tissue from her pocket and carefully picked up the nail, instead of grabbing the strange nail with her bare hands.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Zhong Bingxuan for finding the Ghostly Artifact Soul-Eating Nail (which can be upgraded).]

[Soul-Eating Nails: Driven into the bodies of supernatural beings, they control their actions. They originated from a newlywed wife who, upon discovering her husband's infidelity, stabbed him to death with nails used to nail their wedding bed. They are particularly effective against the cheating partner.]

To find the artifact directly inside the dungeon, that's incredibly lucky.

A hint of joy flashed in Zhong Bingxuan's eyes as she put the Soul-Devouring Nail into her backpack. Before she could turn around, a cool breeze swept over her from behind.

[Warning! Warning! Enemy attack.]

Zhong Bingxuan dodged the sudden attack from behind, and with a backhand, she pulled out the Skywing Blazing Flame Transparent Dart magical artifact and struck the opponent.

"You bitch, hand over the strange artifact you just found, and I might leave you with a whole corpse."

Lu Cai was completely unconcerned when Zhong Bingxuan threw out a hidden weapon, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.

The opponent's confident demeanor made Zhong Bingxuan feel uneasy. The transparent flying dart she threw, the Heavenly Wing Blaze, stopped three meters away without even getting close to the opponent's body, only causing a transparent ripple.

Is this a top-tier defensive talisman or a top-tier protective shield? Judging from Lu Cai's unhurried manner, Zhong Bingxuan guessed it was the latter. There was no time limit, which was why Lu Cai was so leisurely.

That would be difficult. Top-tier protective shields are powerful. Just look at the defensive capabilities of cheaper top-tier defensive talismans. Except for being ineffective against strange mental attacks, they are more powerful than top-tier defensive talismans in other aspects.

Since Zhong Bingxuan didn't have any mental attack weapons, she really had no way to deal with the other party for the time being. She immediately sent a message to Fu Yuchen to ask him how things were going on his end and whether he had any mental attack weapons.

[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Core Member Fu Yucheng)]: What happened? I have an Illusion Talisman here, which I obtained from a special quest in a dungeon.

[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Captain Zhong Bingxuan)]: I'll give you a surprise later. Come over and help me get rid of a scoundrel.

Zhong Bingxuan also coveted magical artifacts and props that could enhance her abilities, but she was far from being capable of murder and robbery.

In the already extremely difficult world, it's not easy for players to survive. If players start fighting each other, the human faction is doomed.

[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Core Member Fu Yucheng)]: OK, watch me save the beauty, but please don't fall in love with me, there's no future in falling in love with me.

[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Deputy Captain Li Hanmo)]: Get lost! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll break you up.

[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Core Member Fu Yucheng)]: No, I just couldn't help being a smooth talker. I'll go rescue your precious one right now.

【Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Mascot Zhong Linlin)】: Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Does Brother Yuchen have a lover?

【Undeterred by Rain or Shine (Captain Zhong Bingxuan)】: My dear Linlin, this isn't something a child can do. Stay here and wait until we finish here, then we'll come and help you.

It may seem like a long time, but it's actually just a matter of a moment's thought.

It was also thanks to the advanced communication equipment in first class, which allowed Zhong Bingxuan to send messages in the blink of an eye, that she was able to simultaneously prepare Shandong cuisine and call for help.

Of course, this was also because the man in front of her wasn't particularly strong; he was only able to hold out until Fu Yucheng came to her rescue because of the powerful defensive capabilities of the top-tier protective shield.

"You bitch, if you've got the guts, don't hide, come and fight me."

"Then if you're so capable, turn off the top-level protective shield and have a face-to-face duel with me."

Zhong Bingxuan rolled her eyes at the other party. With her cheat code, of course there was no problem. If it weren't for that top-level protective shield, Zhong Bingxuan could use her immense strength to smash the other party's brains out.

Previously, Zhong Bingxuan knew that this dungeon was about the resurgence of supernatural phenomena, so she thought the protective shield wouldn't be very useful. Now it seems that she just didn't have enough points. If she could buy a top-tier protective shield, it wouldn't be useful against the supernatural, but it would be very useful against players with malicious intentions.
