And so, apart from class time, all the human contestants gathered together.
Lin Xue led them on a tour of the entire campus, and then secretly climbed over the wall to explore new areas.
They also cleaned up those strangely hollowed-out areas and found quite a few useful supplies.
Thanks to Lin Xue's leadership, the human players suffered almost no injuries outside of class time.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and this was their last day in this instance.
[Songshan Academy Day 7: Tonight, the entire academy will hold a masquerade party. All students and teachers will wear masks, and both students and teachers can participate in the event.]
Any human contestant who reveals their identity at this party will be hunted down by all the students of Songshan Academy!
"To put it simply, it's a battle royale mode!"
After reading the new announcement, Lei Ze frowned deeply.
What should we do?
He glanced at his side and saw that there were nine people left.
Although there aren't many players, surviving in this battle royale mode is no easy feat.
"There are still more than six hours until nightfall. Let's use this time to collect some powerful weapons."
Whether we can get through tonight depends on how strong we are!
There are no classes in the afternoon in preparation for the masquerade party tonight.
Lin Xue led the group to climb over another wall.
"Senior, this area is full of shops; it must be a small market!"
"There are too many people here, there are no empty buildings at all, we probably won't find anything."
"Should we consider changing our approach?"
Lin Xue sprayed a special perfume on them, so as long as they didn't expose themselves or fight the strange creatures, they generally wouldn't be attacked.
"No, this should have cosplay masks and props. We've come to the right place!"
Lin Xue led the group through the streets and quickly found a shop with an unusual style.
"Boss, we're going to a masquerade party tonight, do you have any good options?"
As soon as she entered the shop, Lin Xue greeted everyone loudly.
When faced with these strange occurrences, you must never show any fear.
Simply treat them like ordinary people, and be even more assertive than them when they are assertive.
"Guest, we have many masks here, each with a different effect!"
"For example, this bat mask allows you to stay airborne for a short period of time!"
[Bat Mask: Grants brief airtime upon wearing; five minutes of use followed by a twenty-minute recovery period.]
"And this shadow mask, you can become invisible for a short time after wearing it."
[Shadow: A strange mask-like device that grants temporary invisibility upon wearing, with a five-minute cooldown followed by a thirty-minute recovery period.]
"And this vampire robe, once you put it on, you not only gain the ability to stay airborne, but also have a certain degree of invisibility!"
[Vampire Robe: When worn, it grants a certain degree of invisibility, allows for brief flight, and provides the ability to remain airborne.]
Every time the boss took out a strange item, everyone took a deep breath.
"Senior, these are all wonderful things, but unfortunately we don't have the money to buy them!"
Razer looked at the vampire robe with envy. It was really frustrating that he couldn't afford such a nice item.
"Boss, what's the value of these items?"
Although Lin Xue guessed that they couldn't afford it, she still wanted to ask about the price.
After all, his underlings were eagerly waiting for him.
"This vampire robe costs 100,000 ghost coins, the bat mask costs 30,000 ghost coins, and the shadow mask also costs 30,000 ghost coins."
To put it simply, masks and other eerie items are around 30,000, while powerful items like vampire robes are priced at over 100,000.
They couldn't afford even a mask here, let alone a vampire robe.
"Boss, the things here are all very good, but they're too expensive. We students can't afford them!"
"Do you rent out these masks?"
"We only bought these masks to attend the masquerade ball. Once the event is over, they'll be useless!"
Buying is out of the question, but we can try to negotiate renting.
"We also accept rentals here, but you must sign a contract to rent something from us. Once the time is up, the eerie props here will automatically return to the store, so customers don't need to make an extra trip to return the items!"
As Lin Xue guessed correctly, there really was a rental service here.
"Each of you choose a mask!"
Lin Xue pointed to the dazzling array of masks on the wall. Each mask was different and had a special function.
With these masks, even if the contestants get lost, they will have some ability to protect themselves.
"Senior, I have some strange items here. I'll see if I can use them to pay for the rental fee!"
Although Razer really liked his bloodstained kitchen knife, these masks served a much greater purpose.
After all, in a head-on confrontation, they would be no match for any of the strange students at Songshan Academy.
"Let's choose first and then talk!"
Lin Xue picked out a fox spirit mask from the wall, then took out a bunch of luxury goods from her backpack.
These luxury items were all looted from the school or surrounding houses.
These things are not eerie props; they have no use for humans and cannot be taken out of the horror world.
But for these strange characters from the original work, these are luxuries that everyone loves and pursues.
Every luxury item has its own value. As soon as Lin Xue took the item out, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.
The boss would definitely not agree to trade these things for a permanent mask.
But if the other party is only renting it, the mask will eventually return to him, which means he got all these luxury items for free.
"Boss, keep the change. Just bring out whatever you can rent to us!"
These items would definitely be more than enough to cover the rent, and Lin Xue didn't want to let the boss get away with it for nothing, so she said this.
"I have some talismans here that conceal one's presence; I'll give them to you for free!"
Seeing that he had really made a fortune this time, the boss was not stingy and took out a stack of dusty talismans from the corner.
【Invisibility Talisman (Strange): Attaching this talisman to your body will conceal your form.】
[Concealment Talisman (Deceptive): Can hide one's aura, making them undetectable to other beings.]
There are two kinds of talismans in this stack of talisman papers, and these talismans are not much different from those drawn by Lin Xue.
However, she used spiritual power, while the other party used demonic power.
Furthermore, the talismans target different objectives.
"Thank you, boss!"
With these items, they were more confident about getting through tonight's masquerade event.
