"Huh? But five people are easier than one, right?" Jennifer's voice unconsciously rose a little.

Although all five people present knew that the group dungeon would be more difficult, they were all chosen ones with various talents, and it wasn't impossible for them to clear it together. Even if one or two people died, with five chances per nation and 25 people in total, it was impossible for not a single one to survive, right?

Jennifer felt that Hirano San's viewpoint was too pessimistic and instinctively shook her head to express her opposition.

Solomon was a little nervous: "Keep your voice down, I'm afraid someone is eavesdropping."

Although none of the five of them violated the rules of Vina City, who knows if the natives might be a little paranoid and report them for illegal assembly?

Hirano San didn't say anything about Solomon's inner thoughts, but simply coughed lightly: "So, what choice do you two gentlemen intend to make?"

“I…” Solomon hesitated for a moment, “I’ll stay too, in case you need me—”

He quickly added, "But you have to tell me the location first, so I can escape immediately if something happens in Vina City. You can do whatever you want, but I don't want to implicate the people of Gem Kingdom."

In contrast, Zoe glanced at her watch and said, "I don't trust you guys, I only trust myself. I should go."

"Won't you add me as a friend?"

Yin Zhu pointed to the back of his hand; that's how Jennifer had contacted Solomon before.

As long as they know the other party's number, they can contact them. If it weren't for the fact that all of the Good Spirit Officer's chat logs are recorded, they wouldn't need to communicate face-to-face.

That's the downside of having a developed internet – you're constantly being monitored.

"Need not."

Zoe, relying on the fact that her advisors couldn't reach into the world of supernatural tales, continued to live up to her role as a lone wolf.

The moment she turned around, Zoe whirled back and said, "Your name is Bamboo, right? I heard you're very capable, the first person to realize the core of the dungeon. Have you ever thought about why we have talent?"

"You flatter me, you flatter me. I'm sure I'm not."

Yin Zhu's attention was completely focused on the first half of the sentence, and she completely ignored Zoe's question.

Zoe stared at Yin Zhu for a few more seconds, then turned and left.

Jennifer was a bit overwhelmed by this set of moves and finally muttered, "Seriously, does she think she's so great?"

"He's so confident, he must be really good, right?"

Yin Zhu managed to offend neither side, or perhaps she offended both sides, but she didn't care.

She wasn't being modest.

She may not have been the first to realize the core of the dungeon; for example, Hirano San knew it much earlier than Yin Zhu.

However, Yin Zhu was the first to come out alive and tell the think tank about it. Some people might have realized it by the time they were about to die in the instance, or they might not have been willing to speak up due to certain feelings.

In short...

"Actually, you shouldn't have said that."

Having probably heard Yin Zhu's thoughts, Hirano Shan said quietly from the side, "If you don't speak up, more people will die, and perhaps there won't be any more group dungeons."

Even some people in the Japanese livestreaming room sensed something was wrong:

"Oh my god, did my angel say something strange? Does she know some unspeakable secret?"

"Shut up! Angels would never harm us!"

Is Hirano San really an angel?

"No, she is not. She is the savior of the Sakura Kingdom, a hero who turned the tide for the Sakura Kingdom in a time of crisis. How dare you doubt her?"

Why would anyone doubt Angel? I don't understand.

"She's cute, so it's okay."

"Hehehe, anyway, I'm in China, so I can doubt if I want, and if you're not happy, come and hit me!" A comment in Chinese characters flew across the screen, even in a striking red, which immediately sparked insults and disputes in the Japanese live stream.

After making a phone call to arrange for someone to handle the matter, Anzhi opened the national discussion group for the "Rules of the Strange" instance.

At this moment, the head of the think tank in Japan is apologizing:

"I feel deeply ashamed and pained by the inappropriate remarks made by the chosen one of my country..."

She directly asked the question many people wanted to ask: "So, the reason why group dungeons were created was because there were too many surviving nations, and they wanted to accelerate the reduction of the population?"

"It might be something Hirano Sane said randomly; it might not be true."

On the other side of the screen, the head of the think tank of the Sakura Kingdom was constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Of course, he knew that Hirano Sane was hiding a lot of things, but normally, Hirano Sane would never show it in the dungeon.

As long as she doesn't say anything, the public won't think too much about it.

Those brainless commoners should just obediently follow orders and immerse themselves in praising Hirano San. They don't need to think too much; otherwise, they'll only cause trouble for the country.

Although Hirano San's sudden popularity was an accident, can a high school girl, even with the adoration of otaku, escape the clutches of the country's top leadership?

The disdain shown by the high-ranking officials of the Sakura Kingdom to Hirano Sane allowed Yin Zhu to seize a huge opportunity.

Regardless of what Jennifer and Solomon thought, Yin Zhu maintained her carefree smile and brought up another matter: "If my boss's family moves out, you can come and live with me. That luxury apartment is huge, and I'll be scared living alone."

This is true. The entire floor is so big that if Yin Zhu were to live there alone, she would probably start having all sorts of strange and supernatural thoughts on the very first day.

For example, could someone be hiding under the bed?

Are there eyes watching me in this dark room?
