Chapter 347: Horror Night: Survival Copy (35)
When Xu Jinxiao opened his eyes again, the light around him was dim and the sound of rain was dripping outside the window, as if it was not yet dawn.
Xu Jinxiao yawned. His mind was still fuzzy as he had just woken up, but he still sensed something was wrong.
In the dim light, he looked down at his watch, which showed that it was already eleven o'clock.
Xu Jinxiao was stunned. How could it be 11 o'clock already? He hadn't noticed the passage of time at all. Was he such a sound sleeper?
He scratched his head in surprise. Just when he was about to believe and accept this, his peripheral vision caught sight of several other people sleeping soundly.
It might be normal for him to oversleep alone, but how could he oversleep all of them?
Xu Jinxiao frowned and immediately looked down at his watch. It showed that two minutes had passed, but his intuition clearly indicated that only one minute had passed! His intuition about time was always very accurate.
He looked at his watch carefully and quickly discovered the truth: the second hand was moving twice as fast!
He should have noticed it earlier, he was just too shocked to notice the obvious difference.
He looked down at the rapidly rotating second hand, thought for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth slowly rose. Now their time in the copy was shortened.
Anyway, he had nothing to do during the day in the dungeon, and his physical condition was excellent, so he didn't need to rest for so long and was eager to pass the level quickly.
However, this is more difficult for other players. Today's rest time is halved. It would be best if you can recover. If you can't recover, your energy may be reduced.
Xu Jinxiao stroked his watch, which made a faint clicking sound.
Suddenly a yawn was heard. Xu Jinxiao looked up and saw that it was Zhao Ke. He slowly sat up from the sofa.
"Huh? It's so early? It's not even light yet. I thought the sun was shining on my butt. Forget it, I'll sleep a little longer."
Zhao Ke opened his hazy eyes and glanced around, muttering a few words.
The next moment, he lay back lazily.
Xu Jinxiao put away his watch. Although time had doubled, it was time to eat.
But they were all still asleep now, so he went to the bathroom to clean up the monster's corpse first.
Xu Jinxiao opened the bathroom door and saw more blue bloodstains on the floor, mixed with green.
He frowned slightly, looked up at the vent, and a look of deep disgust flashed across his eyes.
It really reduces your san value.
He didn't want to do it himself as he had to cook for his wife later, so he just controlled the chain and started cleaning.
The rustling of chains continued to ring out, and the sound of rain outside the window was pitter-pattering, giving me an inexplicable sense of tranquility and hypnosis.
Xu Jinxiao stood downstairs and stretched comfortably, and then the sound of faint footsteps was heard.
He turned around and saw Lu Qing walking towards him. The man's cold, jade-like face became clearer in the shadows.
"Are you cleaning up the monsters? Let me help you."
"No, I'll clean it up right away, so you can get out."
Xu Jinxiao walked towards him with a smile.
Lu Qing was pulled back to the room by him, and then he took out a bag of bread from the space and handed it to him.
"Eat something first to fill your stomach. Once they wake up, we can have dinner."
Lu Qing's long eyelashes drooped, and in the dim light, a look of confusion and loss appeared on his face.
Xu Qiu treated him as a substitute, and he just used this to pass the copy. He shouldn't have had any other thoughts, but he still couldn't control his loss.
However, he didn't expect that Xu Jinxiao could easily see his expression. Seeing his wife like this, Xu Jinxiao couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Qing paused, then immediately shook his head and took the bread. "No, I just woke up and my reaction is slow."
Lu Qing's expression returned to normal, and no other emotions could be seen.
Xu Jinxiao felt relieved and got up and went back to the bathroom.
Lu Qing looked at his back. Had he just seen her? He really shouldn't have relied on luck.
Lu Qing's ambiguous gaze fell on the bread. He just wanted to live. His sister, who depended on him for everything, still needed him. Nothing else mattered, right?
He pushed away the emotions that were lingering in his mind and ate the bread.
Xu Jinxiao stood in the bathroom and chatted with the system.
[Threadball, have everyone else's pollution values been reset to zero?]
[No~ Only you, the host, have been cleared]
【how so? 】
Xu Jinxiao asked back in surprise, and at the same time felt sad for his wife, what a good opportunity!
[Because they only killed the monsters but did not absorb their energy, so they did not reach zero.]
“What a pity.”
Xu Jinxiao sighed helplessly and whispered.
[By the way, that yellow-haired man or red-haired man, is he still alive? ]
[Uh, this, is considered alive? ]
[Has he completely become a monster? ]
Xu Jinxiao's eyes did not fluctuate. He had no good feelings towards that guy. Let him die, so be it.
[Yes! Host, you guessed it right!]
Of course.
Xu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, he had already seen it.
After he cleaned up and turned back, he found that the players had just woken up. The sky was a little brighter, but the sound of rain was still there.
Zhao Ke and Jian Shu took away the quilt and made room for the sofa.
Wen Ze was also tidying up the floor mat, while Qingyan stood by and watched him.
"Brother Xu, you're back? Sit down."
Jianshu turned around and saw him, then pointed at the sofa.
Let's turn on the lights tonight.
Soon, several people sat around on the sofa, and Xu Jinxiao told them about the problem of time changes. Some were happy and some were sad.
"Hiss~ Why did it suddenly become like this?"
Zhao Ke took a deep breath. The time they spent on tasks would definitely not be reduced. Only their other rest time would be reduced.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we help each other, we can definitely survive."
Wen Ze calmly comforted him.
"That's good, after all. The longer you stay in the dungeon, the greater the risk. Haven't you noticed? Monsters have started appearing during the day lately~"
Qingyan curled her red lips and reminded them coldly.
"Hiss~ Are you going to let me live?!"
Zhao Ke collapsed and held his head when he heard this.
"Ahem, Zhao Ke, calm down and don't get too excited."
Jianshu was startled by his exaggerated actions and tried to comfort him.
"Shushu, you are still the best."
Zhao Ke turned around moved and gently leaned his head on his shoulder.
Jianshu was at a loss for words and let him lean on her.
Lu Qing clenched his fists at his side and pursed his lips. The difficulty of the dungeon had increased again. He could still...
Just when he was feeling depressed, a familiar rice cooker suddenly appeared on the table, followed by a pile of various delicious ingredients.
He couldn't help but be startled, what happened was totally unexpected.
Xu Jinxiao has already informed them of the situation, and the next step is to take out the pot and ingredients to cook.
He was a little excited because he was going to cook for his dear wife again.
He glanced at Lu Qing, who also turned his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other.
"Let's start cooking." Xu Jinxiao turned around first and picked up the ingredients to wash them.
Lu Qing and others: ...
Brother Xu is really generous! He is indeed a big shot who has seen the world!
A few people looked at each other and joined in.
Forget it, there’s no point for them to worry here alone, so they might as well follow the boss to wash vegetables and cook.
