Chapter 111 Night Moon Town (1)
Back in the dungeon lobby, Bai Ye immediately looked around and was quite disappointed when he didn't see Bai Jin.
After feeling dejected for a while, I managed to pull myself together and tap on the screen.
In the previous teacher instance, Bai Ye spent a lot of money. First, he bought the memory for 2999, and then the death dynamic device was worth 9999.
Not to mention, later on, in order to open the passage, they spent 30,000 with tears in their eyes.
Bai Ye immediately checked the loan situation, and the loan amount had now increased from the original 13,000 to 23,600.
10,600 illicit coins, almost equal to the interest on the principal; the terrifying power of compound interest is no exaggeration.
“This is strange. I request to close the lending channel. The lending mode must not be opened without the player’s permission.”
[Okay, player. I have requested to close the lending channel. It will not be activated again starting from the next instance.]
[The Ghost Coins are scarce, so use them wisely. If players urgently need them, they can apply to reactivate the service. Worry-free, free, 24/7 service is available anytime.]
Bai Ye thought to himself, "Impossible. I'd rather die than take out another loan."
This is even more outrageous than loan sharking.
He even suspected that the sharp drop in the number of forum players was largely due to being dragged down by huge loans.
Human nature is prone to gambling, wanting to make a fortune and get rich quick. [The Bizarre] truly grasps these human weaknesses.
After complaining for a while, Bai Ye finally took a serious look at the entire information panel.
Day and Night: Second Highest Player
Health Points: 68
Damage: 1245
Dungeon cleared: 6
Forum Level: Level 3
Forum level players: 89
Next, we'll get the rewards for completing the dungeon quest.
This teacher instance is special. Escorting students to graduation is just a normal task; the most important thing is to help students with their mental health.
Bai Jin's reminder made Bai Ye realize that his power of judgment was something he carried with him in every instance, and he could mobilize its power whenever he wanted.
Of course, this force cannot compare to conducting a full trial when in the critical zone.
However, one-on-one trials are more than sufficient.
All twenty-one students who had died were satisfied and vanished after the trial.
Bai Ye gained twenty-one pieces of death energy, and most importantly, twenty-one five-star reviews.
"Let me see. 21 students are very satisfied with me, that's 42,000 in total. Plus, with the task successfully settled, there's another 20,000, making it 62,000."
Bai Ye continued reading, looking at the surviving students' evaluations of themselves.
Clearly, everyone has different motivations, and he couldn't fully satisfy all the customers' needs; out of nine students, only three gave five-star reviews.
"That's alright, that's 68,000 in total."
Bai Ye paid off the loan, then flipped back to the first page to check the three extra dungeons she had cleared.
Clicking on the suffix displays the following:
[Mom goes to work, Dad takes care of the child], achieving the "Father and daughter are of one heart" achievement; [Complete cleaning], "mysterious gift"; [A tireless gardener day and night], achieving the "deeply loved" achievement.
Bai Ye was wondering when suddenly he felt a weight on his shoulder.
Before I could even turn around, I heard a familiar laugh, "Dad, I've been looking for you for ages."
"noob?!"
Bai Ye turned around in surprise, but her expression changed drastically in an instant. "How could you..."
"That body is Zhang Xiao, not myself. Bai Jin is a one-year-old baby."
The little baby in front of him was just learning to walk in the "full-time stay-at-home dad" scenario, and Bai Ye's memories of Bai Jin remained here.
Seeing the familiar baby again filled me with immense excitement.
"Baby, you're finally back! Daddy missed you so much."
Bai Ye picked up the baby and spun him around in the dungeon lobby until he got dizzy and had to stop.
The father and daughter sat cross-legged on the ground. Bai Ye's heart was filled with joy, and his face was overflowing with happiness.
Every now and then, she would pinch the child's cheeks or touch the child's head, ruffling the child's perfectly good hair into a messy clump.
"Dad..." Bai Jin sighed helplessly.
The little baby had an innocent face, but spoke with a mature air; the contrast was so adorable that Bai Ye exclaimed, "So cute!"
After another round of rubbing, Bai Jin gave up struggling.
Okay, Dad's too agitated, I won't argue with him.
Once Bai Ye had calmed down, she asked, "Xiao Bai, how did you find me? I thought we were going to be separated again, and I was thinking about whether to use the clock ornament to enter the dungeon a second time to find you."
"I followed my father's scent, traversed the rift in time and space, and found my way here."
When Bai Jin first arrived at the [Strange] dungeon lobby, he was filled with curiosity as he looked at the empty, white building.
She stood up, walked around, touching things as she went, and asked, "Dad, is this where you human players stay?"
“Not only that.” Bai Ye pointed to a door and said, “That’s the main base of the human players, also known as Nightmoon Town. All player communication, treatment, and training take place inside…”
Bai Ye told his daughter everything he knew without reservation.
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, why was the reward for clearing the Housekeeping dungeon weird? Was it a doll?"
Bai Ye can understand the "stay-at-home dad" scenario. He and his daughter have reunited, and the misunderstanding has been cleared up, so it's normal for him to be able to complete the challenge.
But can a doll be this thoughtful?
Bai Jin nodded, "The doll is me, and I am the doll. I love my dad, and the doll must love me too. But the doll is a puppet after all, and can't meet the conditions for clearing the level with my dad, so I'm just giving it to you as a gift."
I see.
Bai Ye suddenly realized that he had succeeded in clearing both dungeons thanks to his daughter.
However, regarding the teacher's instance that he had just completed, he still had some questions about the power of judgment.
Bai Jin was also confused. "Dad, I really don't know. But you leveled up, right? You can ask those second-highest level players. They might know."
Bai Ye's level increase came out of nowhere.
Not only did he not understand it, but Bai Jin, who was second only to the mysterious, also couldn't see through it.
The father and daughter discussed it and decided to go to Night Moon Town and ask someone they knew.
The so-called acquaintances are the three people who once shared a difficult life with me during my residency training.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Bai Ye led Bai Jin through the transparent door. He expected to be stopped, but to his surprise, Bai Jin, being a supernatural being, passed through without hindrance.
"The town of Night Moon is completely unguarded against you?" Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise, holding his daughter.
Bai Jin stared at the invisible door for a long time, then leaned close to Bai Ye's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Dad, there's a familiar scent."
"What's the meaning?"
“I’m not the first one to come in; this passage has already been opened.”
Bai Ye stopped in his tracks, his face turning deathly pale.
0 weird!
Night Moon Town, 0 Ghost disguised as a player has entered and exited many times.
"This town is not safe at all."
Bai Jin leaned on her father's shoulder, her superhuman vision giving her a clear view of the surroundings. After looking around, she shook her head and said, "There are dangers everywhere, but these foolish humans are laughing and joking, not on guard at all."
"Little White, what did you see?"
Just as Bai Jin was about to speak, a voice came from the other side first.
"Brother, I'm so glad I saw you! I didn't expect you to be so good-looking, just as handsome as me."
Gou Wenyan had finally reached the advanced player level and was able to see all the players' faces clearly. When he saw a familiar face, he was incredibly excited.
I jogged over, ready to hug my best friend and pour out our hearts to each other.
As a result, Bai Ye reached out and stopped him.
"Don't, you're bumping into my daughter." Bai Ye was still holding Bai Jin and didn't want Gou Wenyan to accidentally bump into someone.
Gou Wenyan then noticed that Bai Ye was actually holding a baby in his arms.
This doll is very cute, but its eyes are frighteningly cold. When you look into them, you get the feeling of being stared at by a wild beast.
"Old Bai, where did you get this kid? He's so... so good-looking." Gou Wenyan swallowed hard, avoiding the child's eyes.
Bai Ye said directly, "My daughter doesn't belong to anyone else, she's mine."
"Your daughter? You were married before you died, you had a wife and children? Your daughter also entered the supernatural world?"
"No, this is my daughter from the bizarre world."
Gou Wenyan recoiled in fright, his trembling finger pointing forward, stammering, "A...a strange...a strange..."
"Yes, that's what you think."
"Heavens above! Earth below! Your hearts are truly vast."
Gou Wenyan grabbed Bai Ye and dragged him down the path, blabbering on and on, "How dare you! This is a monster! Even a minor monster is prey for the players. You dared to bring it into Nightmoon Town? Isn't that like sending a lamb to the slaughter? How much power can a minor monster have? If those high-level players see it, they'll cut it down with a single strike..."
Gou Wenyan kept talking and talking.
Bai Ye felt warmer the more he listened. This was true brotherhood. His first reaction was fear, which was instinctive.
But after the fear came concern.
“I know what you mean, but it’s okay. Xiaobai is a second-highest level monster, those players can’t hurt her.”
Half an hour later, the two adults and one child sat in the lobby on the first floor.
Gou Wenyan would steal glances at the seemingly harmless little one from time to time, finding it hard to believe that this tiny baby was actually the second most powerful and strange being.
This is really strange; I've never encountered anything like it in previous dungeons.
"Brother, you're really something. You actually managed to find a second-highest level weirdo as your daughter. You'll be invincible in dungeon games from now on."
Gou Wenyan was no longer so afraid, and even felt a sense of envy. He looked at Bai Jin with loving eyes.
"Little Bai, what do you think of me? How about I adopt you as my goddaughter?"
Gou Wenyan's desire to curry favor with powerful figures was not something he bothered to hide.
Bai Jin showed no emotional reaction to the human in front of him. This player named Gou Wenyan, apart from being a bit stupid, posed no threat whatsoever.
The key point is that this person seems to have a good relationship with his father.
Bai Jin glanced at the building she was in. It looked like a modern and beautiful building, but in her vision, the place was filled with a thick gray fog.
Especially at the corner of the first-floor lobby, the mist flowing down from there is even thicker, as if it is about to turn into water.
"Dad, can you call all the human players you trust over here?" Bai Jin suddenly asked.
Bai Ye was puzzled and asked why.
Bai Jin didn't hide anything and said directly, "This Night Moon Town is very eerie; it has been occupied by gray mist."
She pointed out the window, “That little park, the mist is mixed with the smell of red blood, and some gray insect eggs are forming.”
He turned his hand and pointed to the hall, saying, "There's even more gray fog here; the insect eggs are about to hatch."
With just these two sentences, Bai Ye and Gou Wenyan were stunned on the spot.
