Dead?!
Before Sister Liang could even accept the outcome, another blow came.
Other players discovered that the restaurant's main door could not be opened, and there were no other exits to the outside world on the first floor. All forty-eight people were trapped here, and the only door that could be pushed open led to the second floor.
Shi Jinzhe: "There are no other clues, and the vague voice we heard earlier is gone. It seems we have to go up."
The dungeon won't contain useless items; the door is there, so you're bound to go in.
The two walked towards the door first, and Liang Fengzhi asked, "Could you please tell me more about what to do? I can pet my snake for you, you can touch it however you want. I also know a lot of reptile enthusiasts. If you have any other snakes you like, you can tell me. I know a lot about these."
"You know a lot about this?" Sheikh asked. "Is this your specialty?"
"My profession involves a bit of that. I am a pain rating specialist, which specializes in assessing the level of pain caused to humans by various organisms. Of course, highly venomous and large creatures are excluded; I mainly focus on insects and reptiles."
"There's such a profession?" Shi Jinzhe had never heard of this profession before.
“Yes, because the money was very generous.” Liang Fengzhi rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders and pointed to his upper arms. “These scars are from various snakes and insects. You’ve seen this one on my forearm; it was left by the Forest King. This one on my upper arm was from a 5-meter-long reticulated python bite, which left many lacerations. This one is from a rove beetle; my skin was rotten all over at the time. And this one…”
"Sis, you're really ruthless."
Lin Xian initially tried to downplay her presence, but she couldn't resist.
She's incredibly hardworking; she's ruthless to herself when it comes to making money.
As expected, those who can sit at the same table with big shots are not ordinary people. They are people who would risk their lives for money, and who knows how ruthless they might be when it comes to survival.
Lin Xian originally wanted to use Liang Fengzhi to make a name for himself in front of the two advanced players, and he didn't care whether Liang was a newbie or not. Now, after hearing this, he actually thought that this teammate was a good choice.
Liang Fengzhi had heard the same words many times. He smiled politely and looked expectantly at the two people opposite him.
Shi Jinzhe: "You follow along first."
"Thank you." Liang Fengzhi finally let out a sigh of relief and followed behind the two.
Shi Jinzhe first walked around the restaurant before going upstairs. During the inspection, he asked Lin Xian to explain the game to Liang Fengzhi.
Sheh made Liang Fengzhi sit down so that he could find her a teammate. A cheating newbie has no competitiveness, and the players who come here are only after them, so it's reasonable for him to make her work.
"I apologize for the intrusion." Lin Xian spoke softly, closer to Liang Fengzhi, making sure only she could hear.
The situation in the instance is unclear at the moment, and it's hard to say whether other teammates will pose a threat. Zang Yi's newcomer status is more advantageous for him.
Those who told others about their number of successful attempts were just talking; whether it was true or false was impossible to determine, and Lin Xian didn't believe a single one of them.
He prefers a newcomer who listens to advice to a seasoned veteran who is as cunning as a sieve.
The four people walked in twos in front and twos behind, and after a rough check, they obtained basic information.
This is a 14-story twin apartment building with shops on the ground floor. The back door of the restaurant leads to the second floor, and inside is the building's emergency exit.
The apartment building is divided into Building A and Building B. Buildings A and B share the first and second floors, which are both restaurants.
Above the third floor, the two buildings are separated. There is a sky corridor connecting the two buildings on the sixth and twelfth floors. Each floor has eight rooms, all of which are wide open and have a key inserted in the door. The rooms are fully furnished but unoccupied, and players can choose which room to stay in at will.
Shi Jinzhe chose A503, a room close to the sky bridge on the sixth floor and the restaurant on the second floor, allowing him to move freely between the two buildings.
He didn't choose the sixth floor. It's easy to get to and from that floor, and if there's any danger, the players on the sixth floor will be the first to be affected. Going down to the next floor is the safest option.
Liang Fengzhi chose A505 and was about to close the door when Lin Xian stopped him in time. "Sister Liang... although the game doesn't explicitly say so, we're paired up, and the dungeon name has the word 'lovers' in it. We'd better not separate."
Liang Fengzhi looked troubled, but when he thought of what Shekh had said about people dying, he felt that it wasn't such a big deal.
"Come in."
After the two groups of players finished choosing their rooms, the others followed suit. All the rooms on the fifth floor of buildings A and B were filled, and most of the remaining players chose the seventh, eleventh, and thirteenth floors.
After all that fuss, it was nearly evening.
Sheh hadn't eaten dinner when he came in, so Shi Jinzhe decided to eat first and then wander around the building a bit more.
They returned to the restaurant on the first floor, but there were no waiters, no ordering devices, and no food.
When Sher saw several rows of raw ribs in the kitchen, he said, "The meat tastes sour; it's been sitting out for a long time. Let's buy it from the mall."
Shi Jinzhe: "Want some green vegetables? The mall sells self-heating food. A leafy green vegetable can cut through the greasiness and make it ready quickly."
"Um……"
"Eat." Shekh couldn't resist the temptation of the food and ordered oyster sauce lettuce, then stood aside to wait.
I've seen it bloom so many times, but this is the first time I've seen it sprout. The green leaves are sprouting out quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two heads of romaine lettuce have grown.
It's great to have an all-around amazing husband.
Shi Jinzhe brought out the dishes and sat down to eat with Sheh.
The oyster sauce was very flavorful, and even the self-heating food that the two had previously disliked was now emitting a delicious aroma. Players who had just come down from the second floor couldn't help but swallow their saliva upon smelling the aroma.
A female player with princess-cut hair came over and asked, "Did you order this dish or did you make it?"
"Bought it, from the mall." Shi Jinzhe brushed it off, picking up half a plate with his chopsticks and putting it into Shehe's bowl.
Sher focused on eating, while he casually ate a few bites and occasionally added more food to her plate.
Princess Cut glanced back at her teammate who came out of the kitchen. The teammate in the gray tracksuit spread his hands, making it clear that there was no food, he couldn't cook, and if she wanted to eat, she should cook for herself.
She rubbed her stomach: "Can't we buy some from the online store?"
"You're offering points?"
The man in the gray tracksuit spoke in a rather unfriendly tone. He regretted it; this woman was useless except for being pretty, her points were only in the single digits.
Why couldn't he snag the female player who was with those two high-level players?
Thinking there was still a chance to change teammates, the man in the gray tracksuit dusted himself off, adjusted his mindset, gave a fake smile, and said to Shi Jinzhe, "Hello, I'm Luo Rui. I've heard of you two on the forum..."
"Stop." Shi Jinzhe put down his chopsticks. "You're disturbing my meal."
Luo Rui hesitated, but seeing that Shi Jinzhe's expression didn't seem angry, he wanted to try again, so he spoke up again: "I've completed six games, so I'm considered a veteran. If you need anything, you can come to A705 to find me anytime. If you don't want the hassle, just tell me which room you're in, and I'll come to you."
The players who arrived later overheard this scheme. Princess Cut, finding Rory's obsequious manner, resembling that of a eunuch, was embarrassing, muttered, "How can this be the level after six playthroughs..."
"It's better than a clueless newbie like you who wants to eat and drink well." Luo Rui retorted, his previous servile attitude completely gone, replaced by a domineering one.
"Didn't you just ask me to team up with you? What are you choosing now?"
"I didn't expect you to be so bad!"
"Shut up."
Shekh swung his chopsticks, the bamboo chopsticks splitting in mid-air, the sharp edges grazing the sides of Luo Rui and Princess Cut's cheeks respectively.
Blood was drawn from their faces, and their mouths shut simultaneously.
"roll."
