"Hmph! Interesting."
"I reckon there's more than just this one place!"
...
After leaving the City of the Dead dungeon, Mo Ran didn't linger. He stepped onto the floating magnetic board and continued to the next dungeon. He needed to confirm the idea in his mind.
……………………………………………
"Boom... Rumble... Crack..."
"Roar... Roar... Roar!"
The sounds of battle and the agonizing screams of monsters coming from behind could not distract Mo Ran from focusing on studying the crack in front of her.
The dungeon boss has been defeated.
Mo Ran didn't pay much attention to the clearance panel that appeared in front of her. After closing it, she continued to examine the crack.
"Judging from the speed at which this crack is expanding, there will probably be some big action in a month. Moreover, this crack has appeared in all instances, regardless of their size or level."
Mo Ran stared at the crack and fell into deep thought. For some reason, he had a premonition that all of this would probably end soon.
...
As dusk approached in the afternoon, the setting sun cast its last rays across the sky, creating a picturesque scene. Bathed in the sunset, Mo Ran returned to Liuguang Academy.
...
In the days that followed, whenever Mo Ran had free time, she would leave White Pillar City and immerse herself in various dungeons.
Mo Ran acquired a large number of items, weapons, and skills, some of which she sold, earning her a substantial amount of money in the process.
Not only that, Mo Ran also modified many weapons and equipped them on the robots, and even taught them a large number of skills.
Most of the props were transferred to the rats by Mo Ran using her mental channel.
Meanwhile, Mo Ran tirelessly traveled between multiple cities, sending out a large number of brainwaves one by one.
With this strategic maneuvering, the speed at which the mice invaded was greatly improved, reducing the original month to about half a month.
………
More than half a month passed.
The outer ring of White Pillar City.
A man about five feet tall, with a robust build, but with an unusually stiff expression, looked around.
After confirming that no pedestrians were paying attention, the man quickly entered a corner, into an inconspicuous building.
The building appears to be only four stories high, but once inside, you'll find the space to be surprisingly large, with many people moving around inside.
The man's entry immediately attracted a lot of attention. When Gu Lao saw him, he stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.
"Mo Ran, it's you. Is there something you need today?"
After Gu Lao finished speaking, the man in front of him flickered and then transformed into a robot.
Mo Ran's voice also came from the robot's mouth.
"That's right, I have come here today for some business."
The robot followed Gu Lao and the others into an inner room.
Then, with a wave of his hands, a large number of weapons, equipment, and props instantly appeared on the ground in front of him.
They were piled up densely, forming a small mountain, and emitting a variety of colors.
This scene left Gu Lao and the others dumbfounded; the situation before them was simply too shocking.
However, this also made Gu Lao realize that something was wrong; it was obvious that Mo Ran had some other reason for doing this.
Sure enough, the next second, Mo Ran explained the situation.
"The crack inside the instance has expanded to almost its limit. I suspect that a catastrophe is about to befall this world."
Since that day, cracks have inexplicably appeared in all the dungeons, and they are constantly expanding over time.
As time went on, someone noticed something was wrong and reported the situation.
The news spread rapidly online, and soon everyone knew what had happened inside the instance.
People started to worry and get scared because this had never happened in the entire game before.
Some people began to speculate whether this was related to that existence, except that this information appeared at the moment it appeared.
It was quickly deleted and never appeared on the internet again.
As time went by, this phenomenon faded from people's view. People stopped paying attention to the rift and continued their daily dungeon runs.
But while others might not know, Mo Ran knew very well.
That crack... is definitely not a good thing!
"We've only been in this world for less than a month, and we didn't expect it to start so soon!"
"I estimate that the same situation as in the last world may occur, and I don't know when our vehicles will be unlocked."
"Hopefully, the vehicles can be unlocked sooner. We've eliminated a lot of monsters and obtained a lot of vehicle equipment over the past month, which will definitely make our vehicles more powerful."
The people around were chattering, all worried about the impending disaster.
Looking at the pile of weapons and equipment on the ground, Gu Lao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although they have been in this world for less than a month, they have relied on many powerful superhumans in their team.
They also ran many dungeons, slaying a large number of monsters and obtaining many weapons and items from this world, as well as vehicle equipment and other resources exclusive to players.
But today, Mo Ran suddenly brought so many weapons and equipment, and the data of each one was very strange.
It seems like... it has undergone modifications?
Looking at the strangely sized longsword in his hand, the old man looked up at the robot with some uncertainty and asked.
"Mo Ran, do you know something?"
Everyone stopped talking at that moment. For some reason, they had a premonition that Mo Ran was about to say something very important.
The robot nodded, and then Mo Ran's voice came from inside.
"Gentlemen, in the battles to come, you will need to arm yourselves with these modified pieces of equipment."
"As for why, it's because all of everyone's vehicles have been completely wiped out by that so-called 'guy'."
"The vehicles will never be returned to you. This world will be our end..."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
The expressions on everyone's faces gradually turned to shock, horror, and disbelief.
