Tang Mianmian: "What is this? I thought you liked me, but you used me as a substitute. This is a sadistic love story!"
Xiao Tangqiu: "Shut up!"
Tang Mianmian chuckled: "It's okay, I don't discriminate against gays."
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Xiao Tangqiu ignored Tang Mianmian and turned around to read the post carefully.
He recited softly, "...No one knows when he arrived in the City of Abyss. People only know that he might be one of the first generation of players to arrive in the City of Abyss, and the only survivor among all the first generation players."
Tang Mianmian: "So all the other first-generation players are dead?"
"The Samsara Squad founded by Shen Yuan was the first team in Abyss City, but most of the current Samsara Squad members are not original members. According to rumors, the Samsara Squad once encountered a dungeon exceeding the difficulty of an S-level dungeon. Except for Shen Yuan, all the other original members died, and only Shen Yuan survived..."
Tang Mianmian was stunned. "So, all of Master Shen Yuan's former teammates are dead? And there's actually such a thing as a Super S-level mission? S-level missions are so perverted! How much more perverted can a Super S-level mission be?"
Except for Shen Yuan, all other members of the first generation died, and only Shen Yuan survived...
Only Shen Yuan survived...
Xiao Tangqiu's heart suddenly tightened. Even though he knew that it was normal for the whole team to be wiped out in a super S mission, when he thought that the person who had such an experience was Shen Yuan, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was holding his breath, with nowhere to put it and nowhere to vent. He didn't dare to imagine how Shen Yuan felt at that time, nor did he dare to imagine how Shen Yuan came out and became what he is now.
Seeing Xiao Tangqiu lost in thought, Tang Mianmian read for him, "According to unreliable rumors, Shen Yuan may have encountered an Abyss Demon during a Super S-level mission. However, since no one else has survived a Super S-level mission, and no one has encountered an Abyss Demon in a dungeon and survived, the source of this information is unreliable. However, if this is true, then Shen Yuan would be the only person in Abyss City to have fought an Abyss Demon and survived, worthy of the title of Abyss City's strongest."
"It ends here, there's nothing more to read." He continued flipping through the pages. "I don't recognize any of these people at the end... Wait! I see some familiar faces! Duan Hongzhen, Yu Fuling, and Celluloid... Who is this Xue Junli? It says he's also on the Samsara team."
Xiao Tangqiu finally came back to his senses. He perked up and started looking at it with Tang Mianmian. However, Duan Hongzhen and others did not have much new information, just like Shen Yuan. Instead, the ability of the Western-dressed loli Celluloid was quite eye-catching.
"The Book of Prophecy, capable of divination and prediction, doesn't that make her a witch?" Tang Mianmian grumbled. "Did she pull out a deck of tarot cards before fighting the boss and predict his next move?"
"Xue Junli, the genius hacker and brains behind the Samsara team, don't say anything bad about anyone on the Samsara team forum, or he'll hack your computer," Tang Mianmian chuckled. "Why does he sound so childish? He's a genius hacker... Can he hear me saying bad things about him through the screen?"
Xiao Tangqiu was about to say something when the next second, the computer screen suddenly went black.
Tang Mianmian jumped up in shock: "Fuck! He really heard it? He can hear me saying bad things about him through the screen?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Tangqiu was so frightened that he jumped up. "They even came to our address to conduct a human PK?"
The knocking on the door became louder and louder. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to open the door.
The next second, the black screen of the computer suddenly returned to normal, and a line of words appeared on the page: "Open the door quickly."
Xiao Tangqiu: "Fuck."
Tang Mianmian: "...It's haunted!"
Tang Mianmian was so scared that she hugged Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to open the door.
But when the door opened, they were surprised by the person standing outside.
"Duan Hongzhen?" Xiao Tangqiu was very surprised. "Why are you here?"
The person standing at their door was none other than Duan Hongzhen, whom they had met in the previous dungeon... They had clearly parted ways in Abyss Square before, so how did Duan Hongzhen know their new address?
Duan Hongzhen crossed his arms and said, "I'll explain it later. Follow me."
After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Tangqiu's wrist without saying anything and pulled Xiao Tangqiu downstairs.
"Wait! Where are you taking me?" Xiao Tangqiu was startled, but couldn't break free from Duan Hongzhen at all.
Tang Mianmian quickly caught up: "Where are you taking Qiuqiu? Let him go! Or take me with you!"
Duan Hongzhen tutted, "You guys are so annoying. If someone didn't know better, they would think you were gay."
Tang Mianmian: "...We are socialist brothers!"
"I don't care who you are, just follow me!"
Soon, Duan Hongzhen brought them to a corner where stood a statue. The statue was exactly the same as the central statue in the Abyss Square, but it was much smaller. Xiao Tangqiu intuitively guessed that this should also be a teleportation array.
As expected, when they stepped into the statue's teleportation range, a transparent screen appeared in front of them. Duan Hongzhen stepped forward and operated it for a while, and then a line of words popped up: "Entering Area S requires a payment of 200,000 points. Do you want to pay?"
As a permanent resident of Area S, Duan Hongzhen naturally did not need to pay points to enter Area S. However, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian, as novices who had just left the Novice Village, needed to pay 200,000 points at one time if they wanted to enter Area S. The two of them silently counted the zeros on it and were speechless for a long time.
"We don't have that many points..." Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but say.
"Even if we sell it, we won't have any left!" Tang Mianmian echoed.
However, Duan Hongzhen ignored what the two said and decisively clicked to confirm. The next second, before Xiao Tangqiu even felt anything, the surrounding environment changed.
"Welcome to Area S, the paradise of decadence..." Duan Hongzhen curled his lips at the two of them, "Follow me, or you'll get lost in this world of decadence and extravagance."
