People at Sea: I Rely on Hints to Become a Big Shot

When Shen Jue woke up, she found herself adrift on the vast ocean. Beneath her was a small wooden raft, and in her hand, a fishing rod. Feeling utterly bewildered, Shen Jue looked at the boundless ...

Chapter 365 A Series of Rewards (1/2)

Shen Jue explored the surrounding environment within this instance space and found that the environment here was different from that on their original island. If he had to say, this path was exactly the same as the path they had taken when they first entered the instance.

However, she still has one question: what about the nameless corpse? She hasn't received a clear explanation or information about the strange stone either.

This might affect her dungeon completion progress, and affecting the dungeon completion progress will ultimately lead to different rewards.

But even if things are different, it doesn't matter.

Staying in this instance is boring and dull; it's not exciting or fun enough.

If others knew that Shen Jue had called the 3S-level dungeon, which they found quite exciting, boring, they would probably experience varying degrees of emotional turmoil.

This is absolutely incredible!

After exploring the entire environment, Shen Jue returned to the two young lovers. By then, they had finished catching up. Upon seeing Shen Jue return, August pulled Han Dong to thank him. If Shen Jue hadn't saved her and led her out of the encirclement of the humanoid monsters to rescue Han Dong, they didn't know when they would have been able to see each other again.

After catching up, the two realized the truth about being trapped in the instance and recalled everything they had experienced before.

All of this is because of that human-shaped statue. The statue has self-awareness and can lure those who pray to it into the other world, which is the copy world they are in.

In the dungeon world, as long as their spiritual bodies are not destroyed, they can live indefinitely in the form of spiritual bodies.

Leaving the instance was impossible; they estimated that they would most likely have to survive within the instance world. The two explained their situation to Shen Jue.

"Since you can't leave the dungeons, I have a question for you."

August: "You said, we'll tell you everything we know."

Shen Jue: "The path we took when we first entered this instance world leads to a wooden house. There are your photos at the wooden house. Besides that, there is also a bloodstained, unidentified corpse on the path we came from. Do you know what happened to this?"

Han Dong: "Actually, that unidentified corpse was me. At the time, I didn't remember that I was dead. Later, after experiencing some special things, I ended up in this position."

In August, I looked at the cold winter with heartache, and then carefully recalled my past experiences.

“I think I know what happened. At first, we came to the island to gather inspiration and then we came across a human-shaped statue. I couldn’t resist the temptation and made a wish on it. Then one day I suddenly realized that I was out of control and became abnormal, even doing things that would harm the winter. I don’t want things to continue like this.”

Then I returned to the human-shaped stone sculpture, begging it to retract my wish. Unexpectedly, this time, it did not grant my request; instead, it pulled me into the present world.

Or to put it another way that you players will understand.

We have gone from being residents of the sea world to NPCs in the game instance, and the goal of clearing the instance is to successfully rescue the two of us and reunite us.

If players entering the instance fail to complete these tasks, the instance will enter a loop, constantly triggering the quests and resulting in more players entering and dying. The instance will only permanently close once the two of us successfully meet.

After August's explanation, things that Shen Jue had been a little confused about suddenly became clear.

Having received this explanation, she had no reason to hesitate. Just then, Zhao Keke sent a message saying that she had arrived at their coordinates, and that, just as Shen Jue had predicted, many humanoid monsters had appeared at their location.

However, she reassured Shen Jue that she had a treasure to deal with the humanoid monsters, and that these humanoid monsters were all small Karami, so dealing with them would be no problem at all.

Zhao Keke told Shen Jue to wait patiently until they had dealt with all the humanoid monsters outside before coming out.

Shen Jue was quite confident in Zhao Keke's abilities.

While waiting, I'll also take the opportunity to figure out how to leave this place.

Seeing Shen Jue looking around as if searching for something, August, supporting Han Dong, walked step by step to Shen Jue's side.

"What are you looking for? If it's convenient, you can tell us, and perhaps we can help you."

Shen Jue has helped them so much, and now that she needs help, August naturally wants to do her part.

August and Winter are key figures in the dungeon; in other words, they are key NPCs in the dungeon. If she can't find the exit, perhaps they will.

Shen Jue: "Do you know where the exit is from here?"

August and Winter pondered for a while, and then realized that they seemed to have gained an extra memory.

Based on this extra memory, they actually knew the location of the exit that Shen Jue wanted to know.

“We actually know that.” August arrived here before winter, so she has a lot more memories than winter.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jue's mood improved considerably. She really wanted to know where the exit was.

An exit that even the Illusionary Eye cannot see—it's truly well hidden.

Tell me about it.

“This instance is connected to our spirit. If we want to get out, we only need to think about it. But you are different from us. You are a human being, and your spirit is different from ours. The way we can get out may not be suitable for you.”

After hearing August's explanation, Shen Jue understood.

So that's how it is. There are ways to get out, but they're not suitable for her.

It's okay if we can't find a way out. We can team up with Zhao Keke and request teleportation, and that will solve the problem.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."
