Chapter 95 Dungeon Game 6

Through the glass, Lin Xia saw the man lying on the ground, the robot constantly cutting and slicing on his body, his shape gradually becoming indescribable. As the light in his eyes grew fainter and fainter, Lin Xia's heart tightened.

I have a strange feeling that this person will be a threat once the job is done.

She looked at the clothing store, a lighter appeared in her hand, and she rummaged through her space, making two clothes torches, which she then threw inside.

She has to give it a try. The so-called task is simple, does it include something like taking everything down in one fell swoop?

She didn't want to waste her brainpower on those pointless tasks anymore; one pitfall after another, it would be better to just burn them all down, since her clothes were flammable.

The torch was thrown in, and it caught fire as soon as it touched the clothes. To everyone's surprise, the clothes started to writhe and scream like people.

As the clothes burned to ashes, Lin Xia heard the system notification.

Shadow Energy +1

Shadow Energy +1

......

By the time the entire shop was burned down, Lin Xia's Shadow Energy had increased to 769 points.

Lin Xia was astonished. So, the good and evil value doesn't just refer to good and bad deeds. Even causing destruction in the game like she did can increase 'shadow energy'.

She patted her chest, relieved that she hadn't killed anyone indiscriminately. She wondered if accumulating merit only happened in the game or if it could be done by doing good deeds in real life.

Lin Xia frowned. If good and evil only accumulate in the dungeon, then wouldn't that mean that good and evil are actually reversed, that so-called evil is good, and good is evil?

No, no, Lin Xia shook his head. If you cause trouble in the dungeon to accumulate shadow energy, what can you do to accumulate light points?

Lin Xia was a little confused. Could it be that helping the wicked would accumulate Bright Points?

Forget it, why think so much? Let's focus on the present.

As she watched her clothes burn to ashes, her shadow energy flickered incessantly, and the background of her avatar also flickered as if it had short-circuited.

Then, her profession—Dream Stalker—flashed, and Lin Xia seemed to hear a 'duang' sound as her Shadow Energy value rapidly decreased from 769 to 0, and her avatar background also fixed in blue.

The black mist that had been gathering inside the clothing was about to burst out, but it instantly shrank back into the fitting room inside the store.

Lin Xia looked at her profession, her eyes flickering. Wasn't her profession only effective in dreams? Surely she couldn't be dreaming here too...?

She tried using her mental power, but couldn't, so this wasn't a dream. Then her profession must be truly special.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xia went into the clothing store. The fire had been extinguished, and none of the fire inside had spread outside. The fitting room inside was also completely undamaged.

However, it was very stuffy inside, and even the glass made a cracking sound, as if it was about to break.

As soon as I entered, I heard the system voice: [Selection time is up. Please make your selections and find the most suitable outfit for this human.]

Lin Xia paused, wondering if it was the clothes choosing the person, not the person choosing the clothes...

A moment later, the system voice sounded again: [All clothing has been burned. A wicked person who entered the clothing store can now seek revenge!]

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Lin Xia took a knife and lifted the curtain of the fitting room. Inside, there was bloodstains and a pair of scissors lying on the floor.

[Body Modification Scissors: Only usable by 'people' in the clothing store.]

Lin Xia didn't see the black mist. Judging from the system's message, these clothes were haunted by ghosts? She opened the three fitting rooms and only saw scissors, not the black mist.

After checking again, Lin Xia found a small black ball in the corner under the changing stool in the first fitting room.

Using a knife to pull it out, Lin Xia saw: [The Source of Nightmares: Trapped you in a beautiful nightmare.]

After picking it up, the small black ball didn't react at all, but Lin Xia's eyes lit up.

So, does that mean I can just brute force my way through the game in the future?

Congratulations, you've cleared the clothing store level!

[With a new look and new clothes, the player is heading to the pet shop to choose a pet. Hurry up and take your pet home!]

As Lin Xia came out of the clothing store, she looked back and saw a plastic mannequin staring straight at her in the shop window.

After looking at the mannequin for a while without any change, she turned her gaze away. As soon as she turned around, tears welled up in the mannequin's eyes, and it froze again.

Lin Xia frowned, turned around and stared at the mannequin. Something felt off. The clothes in this store were all real; could this mannequin be a real person or something else entirely...?

She picked up the robot that had just fallen to the ground in front of the barbershop and slammed it hard against the glass.

With a crash, the glass shattered on the ground, and the mannequin inside collapsed to the floor.

Lin Xia took the lighter and tried to lift the clothes up, but the clothes started squealing and wriggled off the mannequin.

It scrambled into the clothing store at lightning speed. After taking off the clothes, the mannequin transformed into a real person, someone it knew...

"Seventh Sister! Waaah..." Ji Wei climbed down from the shop window, wailing loudly.

Lin Xia waited for Ji Wei to finish crying before hearing her story.

This was her first instance; she came in wanting to buy some clothes, so she went straight into the instance.

Before I could figure out what was going on, all the clothes were fighting over, and finally I was covered by this one, and then I turned into a dummy.

She was told she had three chances to be rescued. If the three people who entered after her found her and rescued her, she would have passed the level. If no one rescued her, she would be stuck there forever.

Lin Xia was the second person to come in. Ji Wei said that when he saw her, he was overjoyed, but when she turned to leave, he was filled with despair, thinking that he would never have the chance to become human again.

"Although my luck attribute is gone, it still protects me, and it protects me so that I met Seventh Sister." Ji Wei took a while to calm down before her hands stopped shaking. This was even more terrifying than dying directly in the apocalypse. She really would rather die directly than become a conscious dummy.

"Seventh Sister, my profession is a luck-blessing person. I can bless others with luck three times a day, but I can't bless myself. We don't need to be together; I can bless someone just by knowing their name. I'll bless you once first."

Lin Xia saw that her status had been blessed with good fortune, which would last for 24 hours.

"Seventh Sister, I will bless you once a day!" Ji Wei was extremely grateful. She thought that if she could survive this game, she would have to thoroughly explore her space and make sure to repay Seventh Sister.

When the two wanted to go back and burn the dress, they found that they could no longer enter the clothing store, so they had to give up.

The system was urging Lin Xia to hurry up, and Ji Wei was also about to enter the next scene—the hot pot restaurant. The two added each other as friends, and Lin Xia told her some of the rules she knew. They wished each other well and parted ways.

Lin Xia arrived at the entrance of the pet store and saw many cages inside, filled with dogs of various breeds. They were lying listlessly in their cages, looking like they had been hungry for a long time.

We can't just burn it down and call it a day...

Helpless, Lin Xia went into the pet store.
