City Lord Song lived a life of luxury and was obese, but Song Cheng was in his youth and very agile, like a slippery fish that was impossible to catch. City Lord Song's face showed anger and he yelled for someone to come.
Song Cheng: "Fuck, you have no martial ethics!"
There were rustling sounds of footsteps outside the yard. Song Cheng was gradually surrounded by people. He narrowly avoided the city lord's knife. The table behind him was directly cut into two pieces by the knife. A drop of cold sweat gradually slid down Song Cheng's forehead.
Seeing that he was about to fall into a desperate situation, Song Cheng looked at the confirmation box on the game panel that was constantly flashing red light.
[Does the player want to exit the instance? Yes/No]
Song Cheng remembered Bai Xing's instructions, gritted his teeth, and still chose no.
Suddenly there was a roar outside the yard.
The floor also began to shake violently. Everyone stopped chasing, each holding on to something to stabilize their body, and looked at each other in confusion.
Thick smoke billowed over and several figures appeared in the smoke.
Boss Gu, holding countless small boxes in his hands, took the lead with red eyes. When he saw the city lord, he became furious and threw a black box at him.
Song Cheng was not far from the city lord. When he saw the box, his subconscious told him that this box was very dangerous! It was most likely the cause of the explosion!
His whole body was tense and he fled quickly. Some servants wanted to stop him, but the NPCs, who were surprisingly strong, were knocked away by Song Cheng's great force. Just as Song Cheng escaped to a safe area, something exploded behind him.
The air wave blew him away and he crashed into a group of servants. The servants became cushions and were thrown to the ground by him, fainting immediately. Song Cheng was only affected by the shock wave and was not seriously injured.
The house collapsed with a loud bang, and Bai Xing and Xu Daoji picked up Song Cheng, whose head was still buzzing, and rushed out.
When the dust settled, Boss Tang also hurried over, with blood and wounds on his body. He looked at them and asked, "Uncle Gu...where is Boss Gu?" He looked at the ruins next to him. The heavy snow gradually covered the awful situation here, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"He...died together with the city lord." Bai Xing sighed. The city lord was about to escape through the secret passage in the room, but Boss Gu rushed up and hugged him with the box in his hand.
Song Cheng handed the account book he found to Boss Tang.
"This records the time when the children were sold. If you go find the escort agency's records, maybe you can find those children back." Bai Xing comforted him.
"The three people who kidnapped the child are now dead. I am going to look for my brother. Thank you." Boss Tang said with tears in his eyes.
The figures of Bai Xing and the others gradually faded.

——
A noisy sound was heard, and Bai Xing opened her eyes and found herself standing at the end of the carriage. The carriage had changed a lot, with four rows of bunk beds, five beds in each row, and partitions connecting the beds. There was a small movable table at the end of the bed, and a small box on the top of the bed as a storage box.
The beds were basically full of people. The others had obviously left the dungeon earlier than her and Xu Dao, and had already formed small groups of three or four. When they saw Bai Xing and Xu Dao appear last, they whispered a few words to each other, but didn't say anything.
There were only two beds left in the carriage. Xu Dao lived in the upper one, and Bai Xing lived in the lower one. This bed was in the corner of the carriage, far away from the light, and a little dim, which was just what Bai Xing wanted. She leaned on the bed, closed her eyes, and checked the rewards for the copy.
[Congratulations to the players for completing the Rookie Dungeon - Snowy New Year's Eve]
[Clearance Reward: 50 Gold Coins]
[Complete the hidden task to get rewards: 150 gold coins]
[Obtained item: Pearl earrings filled with violent energy]
[Obtained item: Sweet Memories]
Bai Xing looked at the two props. The pearl earring was the one that belonged to Zhang the Butcher's daughter. It fell in the corner of the secret passage during the fight and was finally discovered by her. The earring was filled with the violent aura of a woman, and her unwillingness, anger, and ferocity were all contained in it.
[Props: Pearl earrings filled with violent aura]
[Item Level: Dust]
[Effect: After wearing it, the player enters berserk mode, which lasts for ten minutes. After wearing it, the player's strength, speed, and agility will be increased, but their sanity will be affected by the item. Please use with caution~]
Bai Xing raised her eyebrows and looked at the next prop.
【Props——Sweet Memories】
[Item Level: Dust]
[Effect: A bag of sweet candies filled with thoughts of loved ones. After taking this, you can see the person you think about day and night. However, be careful not to become overly obsessed with it, as it is just an illusion~]
This was the candy that Boss Tang asked her to give to his brother. Although she did not find her brother, they gave him the direction. Boss Tang firmly believed that she, her brother and Boss Gu's son would meet again. In the end, this candy became a prop and was given to Bai Xing.
Both items were at the Dust level. Bai Xing clicked the question mark next to each level and discovered there were four levels: Dust, Star, Universe, and Extreme. Bai Xing thought the lowest-level items were quite useful if used well, but she couldn't imagine the full potential of the highest-level Extreme. Coming to this place filled with supernatural powers, she had surprisingly adapted and accepted it so quickly. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head.
Bai Xing opened the chat page, input her thoughts, and asked what was going on with Song Cheng.
"I'm fine, Sister Bai Xing, don't worry!" The boy's words were full of joy, probably because he got some pretty good props. Bai Xing didn't ask him what props he got, as this was everyone's privacy. Although she felt that Xu Dao and Song Cheng were trustworthy people, she still hoped to keep some distance and privacy between them.
Smiling, they chatted with Song Cheng for a few words and learned that he was not on the same train with them. However, the people in his carriage seemed quite calm and there were not many troublemakers.
"By the way, sister, do you know that if you don't exit after completing the task, you can still complete the hidden task?" Song Cheng asked tentatively.
Bai Xing paused. "I'm not entirely sure, but I think the new player dungeon, with no pressure of death, is a great opportunity for experimentation. Also, I've always felt like the game wants us to quit as soon as possible after completing basic quests, so I rebelled a bit, and it turned out pretty good."
"That's true, sister, let me tell you, I'm rich now. If you can't afford to live here, you can ask me to borrow money. Okay? Sister, look at the list, there is an upgrade option. Let me see, medium-class carriage... 10,000 gold coins a month???" Song Cheng was instantly silent, took a tearful look at her 100-yuan balance, and silently shut her mouth.
Bai Xing chatted with him for a few more words, and the carriage gradually became quiet. Bai Xing waited for a while, and then fell into a light sleep.
