"Has anyone ever met a very strange person in a dungeon? I'm not sure if he's a player or an NPC..."
Late at night, a new post quietly appeared in the system's new forum.
The only place people could relieve themselves now was the forum, so this new post was quickly noticed.
"What the hell are you talking about? You can't even tell the difference between a player and an NPC? With this ability, you might as well just wait to die after entering the dungeon."
"Who did the host meet?"
…
Sun Hanqi looked at the increasing number of comments and did not expect that it would attract so much attention. She bit her fingers and was confused, not knowing whether to continue asking questions.
But her awe and curiosity about He Lizhou overcame her fear, and she continued typing, "My last dungeon was an adventure puzzle game, but the boss had a problem and became much stronger. I followed a player who had entered the dungeon with us and entered an inn, but the player said that he owned the inn? And the dungeon rules are invalid in the inn."
This is beyond the cognition of many people. Most people just think that Sun Hanqi is making up stories. "What a joke, the copy rules are invalid. I said I made the copy rules."
Seeing that no one believed her, Sun Hanqi couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She felt relieved but also a little disappointed. Seeing everyone mocking her, she left the forum in embarrassment.
After exiting the forum, Sun Hanqi saw new messages in her mailbox.
Although the system has been improved a bit, most of the functions are still very old. For example, players cannot add each other as friends, and the only ways to communicate are through forums and email.
Sun Hanqi entered the infinite flow game alone and had no relatives or friends she knew. She was a little confused about the sudden increase in emails.
She saw the sender of the email, a name she didn't recognize.
"Ban Hefeng?"
After thinking about it, Sun Hanqi opened the email and decided to see what it contained.
Ban Hefeng: Hello, I am the head of an organization. I just saw your post. Could you please explain the specific situation in detail?
Although it is said that there are some organizations in the game, those organizations generally will not contact inconspicuous players. Most of the time, only those with excellent talents and potential for training will be approached by them.
Even though the name sounded like a friendly character, Sun Hanqi couldn't help but imagine a gangster in a suit and thug.
She did not dare to reply, even though she believed she had some abilities, but facing a group of carefully selected talents, her abilities were certainly not enough, so she immediately replied with all the content she knew.
It took a long time for the other party to reply. It was just two simple words of thank you, but Sun Hanqi still breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was about to take a break, she received another new email. Sun Hanqi took a quick look and found that they were all contacting her from the forum.
Only then did Sun Hanqi realize that she seemed to have posted something that she shouldn't have, and she immediately returned to the forum and prepared to delete the post.
However, she saw that the replies that were just full of questioning voices now had many people responding.
“I’ve encountered that before…”
"Me too. I followed him to his inn. Miraculously, the NPCs immediately stopped seeing us."
"A secret signal, a handsome long-haired guy?"
“It’s him…”
"Could it be a special NPC assigned by the system?"
When Sun Hanqi saw the last new post, she was shocked. Just as she was about to look at it again, it had been pushed away by other new posts and disappeared.
Is it a special NPC?
An NPC who can protect the player's safety?
Sun Hanqi's heart began beating rapidly, but she didn't know what she was so excited about.
"Do you remember that two days ago, System 09 reported on the forum that there was a new transit hall, which was the hotel?"
This post was immediately pushed to the top, and Sun Hanqi also looked up the notice from that time, and was basically certain in her mind that it was the same hotel.
Long Yao looked at the rapidly refreshing forum post expressionlessly, his eyes slightly narrowed. Originally, He Lizhou's hotel was a secret known only to him, but now, after being tossed around by this poster, more and more people knew about the hotel.
Of course, the fewer people who know about this kind of life-saving stuff, the better.
Long Yao began to feel secretly dissatisfied with Sun Hanqi.

"Boss Xiao He."
After He Lizhou returned to the hotel, Uncle Cui was the first to find him, looking a little sad.
"Leon didn't come back."
He Lizhou was unable to react for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean by not coming back?"
Uncle Cui didn't say anything. Li An was the first guest of the hotel and he was also a little kid. Uncle Cui actually had some special feelings towards Li An, but he didn't expect that Li An, who was so smart, would not be able to come back after entering the dungeon.
That's right, how could a child get through the dangerous level of the copy? Uncle Cui had already planned to ask He Lizhou to teach Li An some self-defense skills after he left the copy, but the two of them missed each other.
He Lizhou was also speechless, but there was nothing he could say to comfort them. Everyone was in an infinite flow game and was in danger at any time.
Even He Lizhou, who had the hotel as his trump card, was almost trapped by the copies of "School Rules" and "Role".
Hotel employees seldom come into contact with ordinary players. Even if they enter a dungeon, they are backed by the hotel. Over time, everyone almost lives in a paradise, and gradually forgets the cruelty of the dungeon. This time, Li An's incident gave everyone a wake-up call, and they realized that this is not a self-sufficient paradise, but a place where people may be killed at any time.
Even though the facts were cruel, He Lizhou still gathered everyone in the conference room. After reviewing his own copy, he emphasized what he discovered when he entered the copy this time.
The system began to intentionally create conflicts between players.
This was a very bad omen. The system settings made the games more and more difficult for players, and the games themselves became more and more perfect. He Lizhou even suspected that it was because he had proposed to System 09 to open a forum that led to the subsequent events.
Sheng Ju turned the silver ring on his index finger and remained silent for a rare moment.
The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing. Rong Jia stood up. She was tall and liked to wear long boots. She was very imposing. "Why are you so depressed? Is our current mission to give up on ourselves? The system will upgrade itself. Can't we muster up the energy to find loopholes in the system?"
"Sister Jiajia, it's easy for you to say that. We have been looking for loopholes in the system since we came in, but we have found nothing in all these years."
The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Bai Yimei was the only guest in the hotel at that time.
Sheng Ju stood up and opened the door. Bai Yimei said with a smile, "Boss He, there are a lot of people outside who want to check in. Congratulations to Boss He on his prosperous business."
He Lizhou and Uncle Cui looked at each other, the meeting ended temporarily, and everyone went out tacitly to start receiving new guests.
Bai Yimei walked up the stairs, and seemed to have just thought of something. She turned around and said to He Lizhou, "Boss He, Li An and I talked about something. Maybe it will be helpful to you. Come find me when you are done."
Did Li An talk to Bai Yimei before entering the dungeon?
He Lizhou was about to nod when Bai Yimei had already disappeared around the corner of the second floor.
"Boss Xiao He, please help me register!"
The guest urged him softly, and He Lizhou came to his senses, smiled apologetically, and lowered his head to register the guest's information.
Everyone in the hotel was busy all the time until there were almost not enough rooms left. Then they hung up a sign saying they were not accepting any more guests, which caused the people in the queue behind them to complain.
Sheng Ju heard this and asked curiously, "Why are there so many people suddenly? Where did you see our hotel?"
The guests who were asked looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally a girl answered: "There is a post about your boss on the forum... You are a player, right? Why can you help out in the hotel? Can I apply for the job?"
Sheng Ju was asked back, a little confused, "No, right? Zhou, Boss Xiao He has hired two new employees, so the manpower is probably enough."
The girl was a little disappointed, but still very easy to talk to. She said cheerfully: "Well, if you need a temporary worker, feel free to contact me."
Sheng Ju nodded repeatedly. After asking the next guests to leave, he had some free time. He opened the forum and found the post the girl mentioned.
"It turns out that Zhou Zhou has been discovered by so many people."
He pointed at the post and asked He Lizhou: "Did you encounter this in the last instance?"
He Lizhou was also surprised when he saw the name of the poster. "Yes, she... she was already in a very bad state when she entered the hotel, but she still remembers it."
After He Lizhou registered the last guest's information and handed him the room card, he stood up to close the hotel door.
When I walked to the door of the hotel, I met an acquaintance.
"Longyao?"
Long Yao withdrew his gaze from the hotel and looked at He Lizhou and Sheng Ju who had come out. Sheng Ju still had some wary hostility towards him, so he deliberately ignored Sheng Ju and nodded to He Lizhou, "Boss He."
He Lizhou was a little confused, "Why are you here too?"
Long Yao smiled and said, "Your hotel is very popular now. Are you not accepting old customers?"
Sheng Ju: "What kind of old customer are you?"
He remembered the obstacle that Long Yao had set for them at the end, so his tone was naturally bad.
Long Yao ignored him and just jumped up and down like a child, "Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"
He Lizhou looked at him for a while, then turned sideways and said, "Come in, but there are no vacancies in the room, so I won't keep you here tonight."
This is true, and Long Yao also knows that this is not intentional to drive away the guests, or even if it is intentional, there is nothing he can do about it.
"Boss He's hotel is very fashionable."
Long Yao looked around, not sure whether he was sincere or just being polite.
He Lizhou responded with a silent smile, and Long Yao got to the point. "Although I don't know who you are, Boss He, I think you know the existence of the system. This time I came to confirm one thing with you, is the system being upgraded?"
He Lizhou looked at Long Yao for a while, took a sip of tea and thought, and finally nodded and admitted that keeping this matter secret was not a solution. Long Yao was quite capable and had a secret aversion to games, so it might not be a bad thing for him to know.
Long Yao didn't expect He Lizhou to tell him so easily, and was a little surprised. "I thought I would have to give you a hard time, but I didn't expect Boss He to be so generous. Thank you for the information, Boss He. We hope we can cooperate in the future."
Long Yao put down the exquisitely wrapped gift, said goodbye gracefully and left the hotel.
He Lizhou reached out and opened the small box he left behind.
A small, yellowed, incomplete scroll was revealed inside.
The few words that could be vaguely discerned were: "I don't like this kind of life. I liked my previous life. I don't like these new people either."
baffling.
