'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have entered a five-star dungeon. You will receive a special reward if you clear it within forty-eight hours. Current time remaining: forty-two hours.'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have entered a five-star dungeon. You will receive a special reward if you clear it within forty-eight hours. Current time remaining: thirty-six hours.'
Su Luo was awakened by a series of system notifications. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and thought to herself, "Who is this heartless idiot? It's the apocalypse, why do they have to arrive at 8 a.m.? Do they have some kind of serious... illness?"
Wait a minute, a five-star dungeon?
Su Luo sat up abruptly, his thoughts returning to him, and he realized that he had entered a bizarre instance just before he fainted.
It's a five-star hotel.
I knew Xia Ming had ulterior motives, and I was right. Judging from his expression, he probably knew this place was above three stars, and he deliberately lured them here.
As for the purpose?
What purpose does a madman need to do things? He just does what he wants, that's all.
If it were Su Luo from her previous life, she would have stayed as far away as possible. But in this life, she should thank him for giving her a five-star dungeon to play with right from the start.
I wonder if there will be any high-star monsters in this dungeon. My monster inventory is completely empty, it looks so pitiful. My Lucky Charm and Gourmet are all alone.
As a good owner, you should reconsider these things and see how hard she works and how much she worries.
She got up. The room seemed to be a single dormitory room, and she was all alone. There was a set of clothes on the bedside table, mainly white, with a bloodstained employee badge on it that read 0824.
Is this... to make her a volunteer here?
Su Luo casually put on the clothes, pinned her employee ID to her chest, and then opened the door and went out.
Unlike the desolate and barren exterior, the hospital interior had an eerie atmosphere. Red disinfectant permeated the entire corridor, and the overhead lights flickered, clearly indicating unstable voltage.
"The one in front, the new guy?"
A man dressed in a white coat and a mask that covered most of his face, looking like a sneaky doctor, suddenly called out to Su Luo and beckoned her over, "You volunteers are having a meeting on the first floor. You'll be starting work soon. Aren't you going to clock in?"
Do we really need to clock in?
It's utterly exploitative.
Su Luo agreed and prepared to go alone, but the man excitedly followed her, seemingly wanting to be her guide...
This is... not right. Su Luo narrowed his eyes, as if remembering something. Suddenly, he ripped off his employee badge, cleared his throat, turned around, and yelled at the doctor who had followed him, "You, which bed are you in? Where did you come from?!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately stopped and ran away as fast as he could.
Watching the creature's retreating figure, Su Luo raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "That's it? Not even a word of rebuttal? It's too easy to fool."
Su Luo arrived late, and after seeing the few familiar faces remaining in the meeting room, she calmly swiped her work card and sat down next to Lin Shuyu. However, she found Lin Shuyu looking at her with a panicked expression, as if she had just done something she shouldn't have...
Work card.
Yes, work card, clock in to work, clock in to work. If I don't clock in, does that mean I don't have to work?
It was hasty, but it doesn't matter. She's also very interested in meeting those mentally ill people here and what kind of geniuses they are.
"Why are you only arriving now? I thought..."
Su Luo shrugged helplessly, "I was sleeping too soundly and just woke up."
Lin Shuyu: ...
"Time flows differently here than outside; it's almost a six-hour day. You've been sleeping for two days already!"
Hearing that she had slept for two days, Su Luo was still a little surprised. She thought about the 48 hours the system had given her, which was equivalent to eight days. She had wasted two days, so she still had six days left. There should still be a chance to clear the game.
"You just swiped your work card, so you're starting work today. But today... the people who came today are all tough nut to crack."
"Whatever, I have my own way." Su Luo confidently curled the corners of his lips, thinking to himself, what's so difficult about this? Even a lunatic should like money.
If all else fails, just buy the hospital.
As he spoke, Su Luo looked around. Apart from a few people in Lin Shuyu's team, as well as a few people in Wu Qishan's and Xiao family's teams, most of them were nowhere to be seen, especially Xia Ming's team.
"Where are the others?"
"Our team is alright, except Zhang Miaomiao is injured and resting. The other teams have all suffered casualties. The strangest one is Xia..."
Before Lin Shuyu could finish speaking, a bell rang along with the sound of high heels on the ground. A nurse with a face on both the front and back walked in and, as if it were a routine matter, read out in her dry, shrill voice as if listening to a stereo system.
"Welcome to our Mengshan Mental Hospital, volunteers. Here are our rules."
[Rule 1: Each volunteer must work two days a week. Those who work less than two days will be expelled.]
[Rule Two: Providing positive feedback is mandatory. If the hospital receives complaints from patients, the consequences will be severe.]
Rule 3: Do not trust anyone wearing white except yourself; they may be a patient in disguise.
[Rule 4: The patients cared for by volunteers each day are determined by a lottery system within the hospital, and volunteers who check in on a given day cannot back out.]
[Rule 5: Each volunteer can only check in for a maximum of three consecutive days at a time. Completing volunteer tasks will earn a special reward.]
"These rules, a five-star dungeon, there are exactly five, right?" Su Luo thought to herself, while Lin Shuyu continued to explain the rules to her. After all, he woke up two days earlier than her and was still alive, so he should be more familiar with the rules here than Su Luo.
