Looking at the small knife in her hand, which gleamed in the sunlight to make its presence known, Tantai Yu unconditionally raised his hands in surrender and said with a smile, "Heroine, spare my life!"
Linghu Lan looked somewhat dazed, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
After a while.
She said, "From now on, you'll follow me, and I'll protect you."
Tantai Yu was lost in thought. He noticed that every time he said "Heroine, spare my life," she would be in a daze, her eyes filled with memories of the past. That feeling made him wonder if he had once been a part of her life.
He didn't quite understand, so he simply put it aside for now and laughed, "Okay, where are we going?"
"Let's go find the dungeon!" Linghu Lan looked up at the sky, where the three-eyed giant had just appeared and disappeared not long ago.
She calmly said, "Our superpowers are activated by the rainbow light, which is emitted from the mouth of the Three-Eyed Giant. Those who are exposed to the rainbow light gain superpowers, while those who are not exposed are devoured by insects. These insects are still hiding in the shadows, waiting to eat the corpses of the dead. Don't you think this is a kind of balance?"
"Balance?" Tantai Yu also looked up at the sky.
"On a grassland, there were many sheep. One day, a wolf came. The wolf thought the sheep were too weak, but the wolf was very hungry. So it ate some of the sheep first, and then drove the rest to a more fertile grassland to grow bigger before slowly eating them. Doesn't that sound like everything we're going through now?"
Tantai Yu looked at Linghu Lan seriously and said, "The process of killing the lambs is the low-level mode we experienced. In the future, there may be intermediate and advanced modes. Assuming that the quality of people in each mode is higher, this process will eliminate many people with low quality. If we want to upgrade to the advanced mode, there may not be many people left in this world. Only the elites will survive to the end."
“That’s right!” Linghu Lan interjected, “What the Three-Eyed Giant needs is elites. No matter what it wants to do with these elites, what we need to do is thwart its plans.”
"So, you want to clear as many dungeons as possible in the fastest time, so that others have no dungeons left to clear?" Tantai Yu smiled knowingly.
"Not only should we make it impossible for others to clear the dungeon, but we should also see if we can forcibly upgrade it to the advanced mode."
Linghu Lan looked at the glass dome in the sky. It was that glass dome that kept everyone like animals in captivity. Only by reaching the advanced mode could they get closer to the truth of the matter.
This world has become dangerous; every day we delay, we sink deeper into hell.
Tantai Yu was in a good mood, his dark eyes fixed intently on Linghu Lan. "You're very clever!"
"Wrong!" Linghu Lan declared proudly. "This heroine is a genius!"
Tantai Yu paused for a moment, then laughed. "Alright, you're a genius. A genius like you must know something!"
"What is it?"
"I like you, that's all!"
Linghu Lan's heart fluttered slightly. She looked Tantai Yu up and down. Not bad, his flirting skills were still up to par!
She reached out and grabbed Tantai Yu's collar, saying, "You're so good at flirting, tell me, how many ex-girlfriends have you had?"
Tantai Yu leaned forward and kissed Linghu Lan on the lips. "Unprecedented, unparalleled, only you."
Linghu Lan: "..."
