Chapter 24 Nightmare City



The first player who saw the resentful woman was about to cry. He was just happily chatting with others, thinking about going out to see how many points he could get this time. However, when he turned back, he was terrified.

Do you need to be so surprised? Haven’t you cleared the level yet? No one has an easy time after the dungeon is released.

He hugged the waist of the player closest to him and howled.

Everyone else was terrified and tried desperately to hide, making the already crowded cabin even more shaky.

Hearing others screaming, Hea suddenly froze, clenched his fists, and tried his best to control himself from looking back.

The resentful woman ignored the players' howls and fears and slowly floated towards Zhou Zhou's direction.

The players on both sides immediately made way and pressed themselves against the wall, wishing they could become one with the wall of the cabin.

The cabin wasn't big, and it was almost full enough to hold ten players, not to mention there was also an extra-large Heya inside. But at this time, a passage was left empty for the resentful woman to pass through.

The resentful woman used to float very fast in the dungeon, but now she floated slowly as if on purpose, and from time to time she would stop to approach a player and stare at him for a while, scaring the player so much that he almost knelt down before her.

She seemed to be teasing these players, and when she succeeded in scaring people she started to giggle. The harsh and eerie sound surrounded the cabin, and the players were really about to collapse.

The resentful woman then slowly floated towards Zhou Zhou's direction, but when she floated to Heya's side, she saw Heya with his eyes closed and muscles tense. She stared at him expressionlessly for a while before turning around and floating away.

When she floated in front of Zhou Zhou, he found that she had turned back into the way she looked after he helped her put on makeup, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you here?"

The resentful woman said: "I~ came to find you~."

The witch's voice was sharp and hoarse, and coupled with the meaning of the sentence, it made the players present suddenly feel as if a wronged ghost was seeking revenge.

Zhou Zhou was very happy, perhaps because it was the first time in his life that he became Tony's teacher. He still had a good impression of his muse. When he heard that the resentful girl came to him specifically, he took the initiative to treat her to a meal.

Fluorescent Green and Zhou Zhou stood very close to each other, and his legs felt weak when facing the resentful woman, but his curiosity about the melon still suppressed his fear.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not right. How did you get out? Is there a bug in the game?"

The resentful woman pretended not to hear what he said and continued chatting with Zhou Zhou.

"Now that a copy has been released, please add a contact method."

Zhou Zhou didn't think much about it. He nodded and reported his ID account. He had already added several people, so when they asked to add contact information, he knew he had to report his ID number for the other party to search.

A task panel with a faint silver glow appeared in front of the resentful woman.

Mission panel! ! !

Fluorescent Green pointed at the quest panel of the resentful woman in disbelief: "You, how come you also have this! And we can see it, aren't you an NPC?"

The players behind also looked over, their eyes wide in surprise.

It was already very puzzling that the NPCs in the copy followed them out, and now there was even a task panel. However, the color of the task panel was different from theirs. Theirs were all light blue, but the task panel of the resentful woman was shining with light silver.

And isn't the task panel something that only the person himself can see and touch? Why can they see the task panel of the resentful woman?

After Yuan Nu and Zhou Zhou added each other as friends, she looked at the other players and giggled. After making them laugh till they were all creepy, she slowly replied, "This is a ~secret~, you~will~know~in the future."

Other players: ...After waiting for so long, this is what we get?

Fluorescent Green was so curious, perhaps because he realized that the resentful woman had no intention of harming anyone, he took small steps forward and said shamelessly: "Sister, just tell me~"

He was so shameless that he actually called the resentful woman "sister" just to find out the reason from her. Although the players behind complained in their hearts, they still pricked up their ears quietly, as they also wanted to know.

The resentful woman seemed to be in a good mood and said, "When you become advanced players, you will know."

This sentence has a similar meaning to the previous one, but everyone has heard an important piece of information. After you level up and become a high-level player, you will know the reason.

So this is a secret known by high-level players? Or does the gameplay become different after reaching a higher level?

Everyone was guessing in their hearts, but no matter how they asked the resentful woman, she would not respond.

The cabin finally stopped.

Several players behind immediately rushed out, wanting to leave here as soon as possible. It really tests one's courage to stay in the same space with the resentful woman.

"Wait a minute!" Fluorescent Green glanced at them and asked meaningfully, "Did you forget anything before you left?"

"What are you talking about? We still have things to do." A player took a step forward and wanted to leave.

"Since you forgot, let me remind you. Everyone should transfer 1,000 points to Zhou Zhou. Did you remember?"

They left so quickly just because they wanted to shirk their debt, but were exposed by Fluorescent Green.

Several players just wanted to see if they could get away with it. After all, there was Heya standing behind Zhou Zhou, whom they couldn't afford to offend. Now that they were exposed, they had no choice but to transfer the money unwillingly.

After opening the task panel and taking a quick look, the five players found that the points they obtained in this copy were all above 7,000 or 8,000, and some even exceeded 10,000.

Ten thousand points can buy a resurrection item, and the transfer process is much smoother now.

One player couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Zhou, can I add your contact information?"

Zhou Zhou has a good personality, is bold, and is very meticulous. If you go on a dungeon with him, you might get high scores every time.

Several other players also looked over and wanted to join.

Zhou Zhou was busy collecting the points transferred from the task panel. Hearing this, he said without hesitation: "No, I don't like you."

Several players looked unhappy. They thought Zhou Zhou was gentle and would definitely add them, but they were rejected. Originally, he wanted to curse a few more times, but the people behind Zhou Zhou were staring at them covetously, even the resentful woman was staring at them gloomily, so he had to leave in shame.

Afterwards, Fluorescent Green happily transferred the money and added contact information to Zhou Zhou and Qian Le. Seeing that the rest of them did not move, he left tactfully.

Qian Le obtained 15,000 points, and after transferring 1,000 to Zhou Zhou, he still had 14,000 points, which was much more than he could earn in a month working.

Since the resentful woman has a task panel, it means that her identity is not just as simple as an NPC, but is also related to advanced gameplay.

Since he knew that she would not harm Zhou Zhou, and he would go offline later to convert his points into interstellar coins to pay tuition, he didn't have to worry for the time being as the resentful woman would accompany Zhou Zhou for the rest of the time.

After looking at Heya, Qian Le said something to Zhou Zhou and also logged off.

After Heya transferred the money, he kept wanting to talk to Zhou Zhou, but the resentful woman stood next to Zhou Zhou and kept chatting with him about makeup techniques and eighteen ways to braid hair, and he couldn't get a word in at all. And now facing the resentful woman, he is still a little scared, so he can only look for him next time.

Heya seemed to have forgotten that his mission was to follow Zhou Zhou at all times, and he walked away with his head down in disappointment.

Zhou Zhou was chatting with the resentful woman, and after a while they realized there was another person next to them.

"Al? You haven't left yet?" Zhou Zhou asked in surprise.

Alvia: "...Did you forget something?"

Zhou Zhou thought for a moment, then opened his big eyes and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Alvia: Can't you remember what you said?

Thinking that Hea is now unable to continue the surveillance mission due to guilt, Elvia can only take action on his own.

"Didn't you say you wanted to add my contact information?"

Zhou Zhou was shocked: "Oh, right, we were chatting just now, I almost forgot."

He quickly took out the task panel and added Elvia's contact information.

"Al, I'm going to invite my new friends to dinner. Do you want to join us?" Zhou Zhou pointed at the resentful woman next to him and asked Alvia.

"I don't like crowded places." Elvia glanced at the resentful woman and said.

This game was completed under his leadership, so he naturally knew the true identity of the resentful woman.

However, if Zhou Zhou's purpose was to get close to him, then why is he so cold now? He clearly took the opportunity to confess his feelings to him and threw himself into his arms in the copy. After coming out, didn't he invite him to dinner alone as the first thing he did, taking the opportunity to get closer to him? Why bring the resentful woman along? Could it be that they were plotting against more than just him? And those people?

No, doing so would be putting the cart before the horse.

Looking at the two standing side by side, Alvia suddenly understood.

Hot and cold? Close yet distant?

It is indeed a good method.

But it was of no use to him.

"Okay then, we'll go first." Zhou Zhou still felt a little regretful. He had always wanted to thank Al for saving him last time. During this copy, I also helped him up when he almost fell.

Since Al doesn't like crowded places, he should find a quieter place to invite him to dinner alone next time.

The resentful woman looked at Zhou Zhou, then at Elvia, and for some reason she giggled.

After waving goodbye to Elvia, Zhou Zhou and the resentful woman left together.

Alvia looked at Zhou Zhou's back and snorted coldly. For some reason, he had the illusion that he was being used and thrown away, but he quickly recovered and went offline.

Zhou Zhou was going to take the resentful girl out for dinner, and the location was naturally the only restaurant he had ever been to.

After Elvia left, the resentful woman took out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere, put them on to cover her eyes, and looked no different from an ordinary person.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Zhou suddenly thought of a serious problem: "I don't even know your name yet."

The resentful woman wore sunglasses and chuckled as she said, "My name is Molan."

Zhou Zhou also smiled and reintroduced himself: "Hello Molan, I'm Zhou Zhou."

Zhou Zhou felt that Molan was very kind to him because she, like him, came from a copy.

He knew that he was different from other people, but he couldn't tell exactly how he was different. Apart from the fact that he had no home and no family, there seemed to be many other differences.

"Molan, do you have a home? Do you have family?" Zhou Zhou asked.

"Of course ~ yes, not only ~ family members, but also ~ many tribesmen." Molan had a very good impression of Zhou Zhou. Unlike before when she was facing Fluorescent Green, she would answer whatever Zhou Zhou wanted to know.

no the same!

But why didn't he?

"Then where is your home? Can you tell me?" Zhou Zhou asked anxiously.

"Empire~24th Galaxy."

Zhou Zhou looked confused. What was this place?

"No~ you've heard of it, right? This is a~ very remote~ place. Our clan~ is~ called~ the~ Mo Clan. We belong to~ a~ small minority group in~ the~ empire."

According to Molan's narration, the place where they were located was a very remote place, and the people in the tribe all looked similar to Molan, with pale and bluish faces and black whites of the eyes, looking like the ghosts that people used to talk about.

Of the empire's current population, 90% are humans, but the remaining 10% belong to other races, whose appearances, habits, etc. are different from those of humans.

"Then why are you in the copy?"

Zhou Zhou didn’t understand. Molan had a home and family, but why was she in the copy? Why stay in the dungeon like him and wait for players to come in?

"Because~ I'm a high-level player, serving as an NPC in a copy~ I created~ myself."

Zhou Zhou blinked his big eyes and asked sincerely: "What is NPC?"
