Chapter 832: Live Broadcast (10)

Lin Quan gave Wen Wan an escape item and then disappeared, saying before vanishing, "We have to start all over again." Even if Wen Wan was stupid, she knew that Lin Quan was no ordinary NPC. Then, to the audience's confusion, she returned to the Lin family, where all the NPCs had turned into terrifying monsters, and the players were no match for them.

Wen Wan went directly to find the bride.

And the bride was waiting for her.

"I've already taken your place, why do you still want to continue?"

Bride: "You didn't give me an answer."

What answer?

Bride: "I don't know."

Wen Yan: "..."

"System, come out here! What should we do now? What's wrong with this bride?"

System: [I've done some research, and it might be useful to you.]

Wen Wan: "Send it over quickly."

Wen Wan accepted the data and discovered that it was actually data from the real world. It was the location of this instance, exactly the same as what happened in a small village in reality, where everyone in the village died from poisoning.

It was later discovered that the village was involved in countless human trafficking cases.

The bride's identity was also revealed, and her parents were devastated when they found her body.

Wen Wan wanted to know what the bride's obsession was. It wasn't the demons in these villages, but that she hadn't gone home yet.

Even if Wen Wan takes her place as the bride, she can't go home. She will only enter the next cycle, welcoming the next wave of players, and then continue the cycle again and again.

"Lin Yang."

Upon hearing the name, the bride's eyes widened, and her aura shifted continuously, transforming from monster to human and back again.

“I remember now, I know you, and I know what happened in this village. Your parents have been looking for you.”

"You...really know? Are they...alright?"

Sure enough, the bride's obsession wasn't with the people in the village, but with home, with her family waiting for her to return, with her parents, with her relatives, and with the place she lived before she was brought here.

No wonder those players didn't get a perfect playthrough; they only wanted to know the secret of the childless village and defeat the bride, but they didn't think about breaking the bride's obsession.

"To be honest, it's natural that your parents are in pain after finding your body. They've been searching for you for years, and their hair has turned white and they've grown old."

The bride looked pained.

Wen Wan quickly said, "They brought a child back from the village. It was a baby girl, just born. The mother didn't want her, but your parents took her back because they thought the girl was just as cute as you. Now the child has grown up and is very filial to your parents. They have moved on from their pain and are living a relatively peaceful life now."

"Really?"

Wen Wan nodded. "It's true. And all your daughters who were sold have been found. Some have been adopted, and some have gone to orphanages."

The bride didn't seem to have much of an emotional reaction to this, clearly indicating that she didn't love the children, even though they were born from her womb and were innocent. To the bride, they were simply part of her suffering.

"What else do you want to know? I can tell you anything."

The bride shook her head, looked at Wen Wan and said, "Thank you, thank you for telling me about my parents. I should go home now."

Wen Wan nodded.

Then they watched as the bride entered the Lin family home, and all the monsters stared at her in fear before transforming into human form.

They all looked like they'd seen a ghost.

"Please have mercy on us, we really know we were wrong."

"We were really wrong, please have mercy on us, it's too painful, let us die."

The bride brutally slaughtered everyone right before the players' eyes. Even veteran players were shocked by what they saw. It was terrifying. The live stream viewers were both thrilled and terrified.

Finally, all players were teleported out of the instance, and everyone successfully completed the instance.

That's too easy.

It's so simple, even veteran players thought, no one expected things to develop like this.

Wen Wan was also teleported away. The bride gave Wen Wan a red veil, which she had worn on her wedding day.

Then the instance was locked.

Because the bride's obsession disappeared, this instance was completely sealed away.

Wen Wan was teleported to a street corner and then instantly plunged into a sea of ​​people, as if she had entered the real world. But upon closer inspection, it was not the real world at all, but rather a transit station for a dungeon world.

"Newcomer? Don't have a place to stay yet? Only fifty points, would you like a luxury apartment?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"Want a dungeon guide? It's very cheap."

Chen Hui said, "These are all just tricks to fool you newbies. This is just a transit point. If you want to rent a house, I'll take you there."

Wen Wan and Rou Rou followed Chen Hui to a residential building and paid the rent.

It's a points-based payment system; you only need five points per month.

As expected, the person who asked for 50 points must be incredibly greedy.

Chen Hui told the two of them some things to be aware of before leaving.

Wen Wan moved into her own single room. The conditions weren't great, but they weren't bad either; she could manage.

And the points have begun to be tallied.

[Congratulations on completing the basic mission. Surviving for seven days earns 100 points. Uncovering the secret of the childless village earns 500 points. Resolving the bride's obsession earns 500 points, and the bride has given the player the item: the bride's veil.]

[The bridal veil is a high-level item that grants players temporary access to the bride's abilities when worn. However, it requires points to activate; each activation costs 500 points.]

Wen Yan: "..."

What's the point of this...?

Is this a robbery? What's the use of this prop? It costs 500 points per use, and we'll be done for after these two uses.

Wen Wan entered the game's shop for this instance and checked the prices of the items. Goodness, each one was more expensive than the last, and some top-tier items even cost tens of thousands of points. How many instances would she have to complete to earn that much?

Where is the male lead?

System: [The male protagonist has already entered a dungeon, so we can only enter together after he comes out.]

[The host can choose to enter a dungeon to farm points.]

Wen Wan: "I'm not going."

"I'm exhausted, I need to rest. Tell me when the male lead comes back."

So Wen Wan lay in her room for half a month, eating and sleeping all day long, eventually spending all her points on food, leaving only the basic points needed to choose a dungeon.

The male lead appeared soon after.

Then Wen Wan started to stake out the location, but she couldn't catch him because the male lead was a master of hiding.

If it weren't for the system, Wen Wan would have been completely clueless.

When the male protagonist entered the next game instance, Wen Wan locked onto it and entered this world as well. Fortunately, it was an intermediate world.

This proves that the male protagonist was just there to accumulate points.

That proves the male lead is 100% confident. Wen Wan only needs to stay close to the male lead and get along well with him. She doesn't need to do anything else.

...

Wen Wan quickly entered the second instance.

The intermediate dungeon has used up all of Wen Wan's points, leaving her penniless.

Fortunately, the mission has begun.

It turned out to be on a ship, and as soon as Wen Wan entered, she was rocked so badly that she collapsed onto the side of the ship and vomited like a dead dog, losing all face and dignity.

"Am I seasick? I've never been on a boat before, I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable."

system:【……】

All the other players stared at Wen Wan, clearly not expecting this to be possible.

After Wen Wan finished vomiting and her stomach was empty, the players began to introduce themselves.

There are fifteen players in total.

At the same time, the live stream started, and Wen Wan's haters, a few fans, and some casual viewers who followed her entered her live stream room and were amused to death by her vomiting.

—How could you be so embarrassing? You've completely lost all your dignity as an idol.

—I'm starting to like this show a bit now, because it's really funny.

—Wait, isn't this the intermediate dungeon, Terror Cruise? How did Vase get into this dungeon?

—? ??? Intermediate dungeon? Has this vase gone mad? But does she have that many points? She can enter the intermediate dungeon after only clearing one?

—Oh my god, my husband is in this instance too.

—Gu Lan, in this instance, you vase should hurry up and cling to the big shots. Aren't you the best at doing that?

Wen Wan stared at the most handsome person there, who was none other than the male lead.

After all, the reason the male lead is the male lead is that his appearance is naturally different from others, making him stand out as handsome.

Wen Wan is so handsome that no amount of adjectives can describe him; in plain terms, he's so handsome it's almost unbelievable.

When the others learned his name, they were all stunned and prepared to curry favor with him, but they were all very discreet, since Gu Shen was known for being aloof and a loner who was not familiar with anyone.

When it was Wen Wan's turn, she introduced herself.

After Wen Wan said that this was her second instance, most people were surprised, since entering an instance above one's level would require a lot of points.

Can someone who has cleared the first dungeon get enough points to enter the intermediate dungeon?

"I remember now, wasn't the dungeon you ran last time the one with no children?" someone suddenly said.

The others understood as well.

They put aside their underestimation of Wen Wan. After all, someone who could achieve a perfect clear of a dungeon was definitely not an ordinary person. Even if she was a famous pretty face in real life, in the entertainment industry, everything is a persona. Being famous for being infamous is still being famous. Maybe it was all done on purpose.

Wen Wan stood directly next to the male lead and started chattering away.

"Gu Lan, you are so beautiful."

"I've heard your legend, Gu Shen. I'll have to rely on you from now on. Please take me under your wing."

He reached out and grabbed Gu Lan's arm.

Everyone held their breath, then stared in shock at the scene, as if they had seen a ghost.

The live stream chat exploded.

Gu Lan's live stream had a lot of viewers, many of whom didn't know who this minor celebrity was and immediately started talking about their own idols.

—If you bet a dollar, Gu Shen will simply shake you off.

—It's a pity that someone so beautiful is so brainless. Everyone knows that Gu Shen is a germaphobe. Everyone who tried to associate with her was proven wrong. I'm really looking forward to this. My husband can only be mine. No Tom, Dick, or Harry can even dream about him.
