Chapter 32 Safe House

Xu Zhiyan woke up.

The system in his mind kept beeping and he couldn't wake up even if he wanted to.

[Host normal blood pressure detected.]

[Host's heart rate detected to be normal.]

[Detection…]

As the host of the safe house system, Xu Zhiyan's life safety is raised to the highest level by the system.

He felt himself surrounded by the smell of ashes, and the pain in his body was completely gone. He touched his fingertips and felt a little surprised that the wound he had accidentally left had not disappeared.

Xu Zhiyan tilted his head and squinted his eyes to look around.

In the simple and dim hall, countless monsters were crawling on the ground. They were ugly in all kinds of ways, and they all carefully glanced at the young man in the arms of the ghost.

"!!"

Shit! What the hell!

Xu Zhiyan, who had just been drowsy due to blood loss, woke up with a start after seeing the monsters. The injury made him lose his usual stability and he subconsciously began to curse the game system.

"A seamless copy? Throwing me directly into the boss' lair? Just kill me in this stupid game!"

“…”

The monsters were stunned and all lowered their heads.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyan vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Damn, it feels like I'm back home.

Well... although his house looks like a monster's lair.

A light laugh came from above his head, and when he looked up he discovered that he was actually being held in the arms of a ghost!

Perhaps it was because the other party's divine and grotesque appearance had little connection with humans, and Xu Zhiyan had just been stabbed, so he was a little scared when he had close contact with others and wanted to get off immediately.

The ghost did not impose too many restrictions and put the person in his arms to the ground.

Xu Zhiyan, who had completely regained his composure, realized belatedly that it was already over.

It seemed that his boss took direct action, dealt with the guy who stabbed him, and pulled him out of the copy.

Just as Xu Zhiyan's feet touched the ground, the safe house system popped out as if it had been injected with chicken blood.

[Ding! Host, you are awake! You are so good at waking up!]

[There are still fifteen minutes left before the dungeon is settled. You can take this opportunity to change clothes and wash your face. We will go to the player gathering place to establish a new anchor point!]

[System suggestion: You can choose the direction of safe house upgrade after the copy is completed!]

The safe house system is different from the game system.

After discovering that the new successor performed well, it transformed into a three-excellent system that dutifully provided assistance to the host, and was extremely servile.

The monsters nearby seemed to have received the signal, and immediately a multi-legged guy came with his long and thin legs and handed over clean clothes and hot towels.

[Since the last image at the end of your live broadcast was very elegant, in order to maintain your mysterious image to the outside world, I have reproduced the suit uniform provided by the NPC, and I guarantee that you will be in the most beautiful image in fifteen minutes...]

"Wait, the copy will be closed in fifteen minutes?" Xu Zhiyan interrupted the system with a look of disbelief.

[Yes, but if you don't need to go to the shell to establish an anchor point for the time being, it's OK, but the player has limited chances to enter the shell each time...]

"Stop." Xu Zhiyan made a stop gesture.

Without caring about being watched by ghosts and gods, he quickly said: "Now you answer whatever I ask." He had more important things to do and had no time to listen to the system's nonsense.

"What happens when the copy is closed?"

[Detection... The current dungeon world boss has disappeared, all sources have disappeared, and it will be permanently closed.]

"If you upgrade your safe house, you can bring captured NPCs with you, right?"

[That's right, but you haven't captured the NPC or monster you need yet!]

The safe house system answered dutifully, and immediately a monster delivered a huge net bag.

[Name: Copy Net (Special)]

【Level: ? ? 】

[Type: Special props]

[Introduction: A special item for the safe house that allows you to take the captured monsters as your own]

[Notes: Each copy can only be used once. If the monster shows any sign of resistance, the capture will fail. Please use it with care.]

Xu Zhiyan picked up the net bag, his whole body was shocked, and he ran straight to the door of the safe house.

He still remembered that he had promised the snail guy. Who knows if there will be a chance to rescue him again if this copy is completely closed.

Tsk, it’s all Bai Jin’s fault.

If it weren't for this guy, he would have fished the snails away long ago.

Before leaving, he did not forget to throw the jewelry box hidden on his body into the yard.

The monsters in the safe house felt a chill in their hearts the moment Xu Zhiyan stepped out of the building.

The ghost, who had been silent and gentle just now, suddenly looked gloomy.

The air temperature around him dropped drastically, a thin layer of frost covered the ground, and the nearby shrine was even frozen.

The monsters looked at each other and began to wonder whether they should dig a larger crack in the ground.

"Go and help him."

The ghost's cold instructions sounded.

But it sounded like heavenly music to the monster's ears.

The swollen monsters received the instructions and rushed out of the door one after another!

Under the ruins of the collapsed blind school.

Xu Zhiyan stood in front of the huge rock blocking the road, holding a scoop net with a serious expression.

Wrong decision!

He thought that as long as the safe house was upgraded, he could mobilize ghosts at will and directly take away the NPCs he had seen in the copy.

I didn't expect that he would have to catch it himself! ?

But there are only fifteen minutes left. If he can't find Qu Ji within fifteen minutes, then Qu Ji will probably be left here forever!

Just when he was at a loss, he heard the rustling sounds of ghosts moving behind him.

The creature in the safe house had arrived here at some point and carefully walked around him.

Wherever the monsters went, the boulders disappeared without a trace, and in the blink of an eye, a road leading to the ground appeared before their eyes.

Xu Zhiyan was stunned.

Before he could even say thank you, the monsters quickly dashed away in front of him.

Only then did he realize the difference between monsters and ghosts.

Ghosts and gods cannot leave the safe house, but the monsters inside seem to be able to leave!

The previous explosion was too powerful, and the entire school hospital was reduced to ruins. When Xu Zhiyan came to the ground with a scoop net, he felt that everything in front of him was a little too fantastic.

The scene before him was very similar to what he had seen in his dream, where the eyeless monsters were kneeling down in front of the rooftop.

It's just that the species seem to be more complete.

In front of the ruins, all the remaining monsters in the Blind School copy were captured here by the ghosts in the safe house.

The blood-red thread strings these monsters together like a needle.

There were hundreds of monsters, big and small, that had been seen before and not seen before, all of them looked dazed and as if they had been beaten dumbfounded.

"Which one do you choose? We guarantee it agrees."

The leading safe house monster approached Xu Zhiyan and spoke in a flattering tone.

They just saw it all!

After completing the first instance, the successor in front of him completely became one of the recognized safe house owners, not to mention the reaction of his boss just now...

Xu Zhiyan glanced at the other person's translucent body and the bulging face on the stomach, not knowing what to say.

Is this what it feels like to have a little brother?

Although the appearance is not so good, the reliable ability to do things is really fascinating!

The ghosts were considerate and threw Qu Ji in the first row.

Xu Zhiyan quickly walked up to Qu Ji who was tied to the ground.

Looking at the humble boy who still maintained his human form and did not struggle, he squatted down, stared at him, and asked seriously.

"Will you come with me?"

Although he really wanted to take Qu Ji away, he would not force her if she was unwilling.

When Qu Ji heard the footsteps, he shrank back at first, thinking that he was going to be killed by this group of powerful ghosts, but then he heard a sound that he had never expected in his dreams.

Looking up, Qu Ji saw Xu Zhiyan's delicate face.

For some reason, the other person's face gradually became blurred...

Seeing Qu Ji's tears suddenly accumulating and about to burst into tears, Xu Zhiyan was stunned at first, then reached out to comfort him and touched the other's head.

"It's okay if you don't come with me."

"There are no monsters in this instance that can oppress you...right?"

He remembered that Qu Ji was quite strong. If the other party didn't want to leave, it seemed that it would be okay for him to stay here?

"Why?" Qu Ji asked instead of answering.

Why does Xu Zhiyan still remember him?

He thought, he was clearly just an insignificant NPC, no, he wasn't even an NPC, just a pathetic monster...

"Because I promised you, and I'll treat you to a meal."

Xu Zhiyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the time. There was only one minute left. No time to talk nonsense!

"If you don't resist, I'll take it as your consent!" After saying that, he stood up, picked up the oversized scoop net, and scooped Qu Ji in.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for capturing a new monster]

[Name: Multi-limbed Mutated Monster (Qu Ji)]

[Level: B (Open ductility, upgradeable)]

【Threat: B】

[Note: The safe house reserves creatures, and the owner of the safe house needs to fill in the notes. ]

all the best.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the stunned Qu Ji and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just before he explained the matters related to ghosts and gods to the monsters beside him, a prompt popped up on the game panel and the copy was officially settled.

Xu Zhiyan felt a darkness before his eyes.

A large amount of panel data jumps.

[The copy of Blind School has been settled]

[Instance star rating: ★☆→★★☆]

[Note: Due to the significant reduction in monsters and bosses in the dungeon and the lack of causal chains, this dungeon has been downgraded to a normal space and will never be upgraded, modified, or opened to the public again.]

[Calculating the player Xu Zhiyan's personal total score. ]

[Mainline reward points: 5000 points]

[Branch (Quantity: 1) Reward Points: 5000 Points]

[Extra points for killing monsters: 83362 points]

[Number of monsters killed: 897]

[Overall copy ranking: 1]

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment.

"So killing monsters is so profitable?"

He worked so hard on the main and side quests to only get this little? A wave of self-destruction cost him 80,000?

"As expected, it's a gold belt for murder and arson... This crappy game, tsk tsk tsk." Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and happily accepted the game's settings and huge points rewards.

[A new anchor point has been established for you]

【Welcome players to the rest area 'Shell'】

【Your stay time is 1 hour, please enjoy it. 】

Xu Zhiyan was a little curious and clicked on the note of "Shell".

It turns out that after each mission, players can come to a place called "Shell", repair their own damage, and return to reality in good condition.

[Note: Here, all consumable items in the real world are free to use. In addition to the leisure and entertainment area, there are also multiple areas such as the player trading area and the mall purchase area. ]

[Consumption: Each additional hour of stay consumes 1,000 points. ]

When he saw the first part, Xu Zhiyan thought that this game had some conscience. It knew that the players had worked hard and wanted to reward them. But when he saw that it was charged, he couldn't help but be amazed.

It's really a garbage game!

Self-service payment + mall payment?

The two-way charging really makes the game clear, and even the capitalists are in tears when they see it!

Before he could think more, the scene in front of him gradually brightened.

Xu Zhiyan blinked and found himself in an unfamiliar lounge.

The lounge is large, the temperature is comfortable and it is fully furnished.

“Bang—”

Something seemed to hit the ground.

He turned around and saw Jin Sheng and others slumped in the rest area which looked very comfortable, looking at him in confusion.

What just fell to the ground was Ge Lun's water cup. Wei Linda was eating. There was a fine light on Yao Xianxian's arm, repairing her short limb.

"Woof woof!" When Xiaoyi, who was happily stuffing himself with dog food, saw the person coming, his two black puppy eyes instantly lit up. If the food wasn't so delicious, he would have pounced on him immediately.

"Where have you been?" Jin Sheng pointed at the blood all over Xu Zhiyan's body, a little confused.

Xu Zhiyan picked his fingers with an embarrassed expression.

It doesn't matter whether there is blood or not, the problem is that Yao Xianxian, Wei Linda and others are here, so wouldn't his previous disguise as the copy BOSS be exposed?

Damn it, this kind of rest area shouldn't be a place for players to fight.

But surprisingly, the other three just nodded slightly at him, and Yao Xianxian even took the initiative to apologize, as if she was afraid that Xu Zhiyan would cause trouble.

"…I'm sorry about the student ID."

"Um?"

Seeing that Xu Zhiyan looked like he knew nothing, Ge Lun whispered with envy, "Xiao Baiwan, everyone knows that there is a big boss behind you who has held back one million points from you."

The implication is, stop pretending! Everyone knows that he has someone behind him, so how could he do something stupid and embarrassing?

It turned out that a few people were the first to escape from the dungeon. When they returned to the rest area to watch the dungeon replay, they were flooded with Xu Zhiyan's personal achievements.

At first, Ge Lun was still unconvinced as to why a weakling like Xu Zhiyan could get 80,000 points for killing monsters, while they only got dozens or hundreds of points for killing monsters. Then they saw the explosion, and then they saw the million-point guessing competition...

I have lost my temper. I have lost my temper completely.

"A small million? One million points?" Xu Zhiyan repeated it, seemingly not understanding what Ge Lun meant.

As if he thought of something, he frowned, turned away and took out his cell phone.

Click to open the live broadcast room.

Several lines of black text appeared under the settlement panel, and it was hard not to see them.

[Player [Anonymous] bets 1,000,000 points in the copy of Blind School [Player No. 01 Xu Zhiyan]]

[The copy is being settled...settled successfully! 】

[Congratulations to player Xu Zhiyan for becoming No.1]

[Congratulations to [Anonymous] for receiving the reward: 10,000,000 points (including principal)]

Xu Zhiyan was a little dumbfounded.

He counted the last zero three times and confirmed that this copy, for which he had worked hard for several days and earned less than 100,000 points, earned his Party A ghost 9 million points.

Seeing him standing there stupidly, Jin Sheng was a little confused and came over to ask, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Xu Zhiyan put away his phone and shook his head.

His eyes were scorching and his tone was determined.

"I helped him earn 9 million points. Is it too much for him to give me 8.99 million?"
