I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 224, page 1.17, 2: A Night of Madness
“I see. Collect ten gold coins, and you'll drop coins when you die… It’s just like the game Pei described.” Mu Yegui said softly, standing in the empty circus tent.

"They've arrived," Mu Yin reminded them.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. He slowly raised his head and saw more than a dozen players carrying various weapons pouring into the entrance of the circus tent.

"The one with the most gold coins is such a petite brat? My luck is really good." The man standing at the front had extremely bulging, explosive muscles. He held an iron rod and smiled confidently.

"Hey! I was here first!"

"I was right!"

There was a commotion at the door. Mu Yegui stood up and looked at them, her soft, childlike voice filled with confusion, seemingly completely unaware of her dangerous situation, "Are you here to kill me?"

She reached out and took off the white mask that was tilted to the side of her head, holding it in her hand.

Her long, fluffy, soft, misty gray hair cascaded down her back, making her delicate and pretty face appear even smaller and more exquisite. She was like a meticulously sculpted doll, beautiful but lifeless.

His cool, silver eyes were as calm as a deep, ancient pool, reflecting nothing.

She wore a long black dress, with a brown purse and a black book pendant hanging from her waist, and her fair, delicate feet were bare on the ground.

The group hesitated for a moment, then charged towards Mu Yegui without hesitation, weapons in hand.

Mu Yegui looked down at the mask in his hand, then put it on with the black side facing out.

The moment the group swung their swords down, Mu Yegui put on the black mask and vanished into thin air.

Before they could even be surprised, a red line appeared on one of their necks, followed by a gush of blood, and their head fell to the ground with a thud.

In that instant, there was only silence, and before anyone could react, three more heads fell to the ground.

"Aaaaaah!" Screams and fear echoed throughout the circus tent.

The body of the dead man vanished, accompanied by the crisp sound of several silver and copper coins falling to the ground.

All of this happened in just a few seconds. The dozen or so people who had rushed in were all dead, leaving behind only 6 silver coins, 9 copper coins, and 15 heads lying in the blood.

"I don't really want copper coins..." Mu Yegui, wearing a black mask, squatted on the ground, reached out and picked up six silver coins, stuffing them into his pocket.

The huge, empty circus tent was deserted, except for a patch of dark red blood that was gradually congealing and nine copper coins.

【…】

"...Aren't these people pushing themselves a little too hard? It's only been thirty minutes." Dao Lin looked at the golden pocket watch in his hand, then raised his icy blue eyes to look at the leaderboard on the large screen in the air, his lips twitching slightly.

However, compared to others, Mu Yegui's 6 silver coins at the top of the list seemed like a mere formality. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; those with lower combat strength should collect their coins slowly..." Before he could finish speaking, Dao Lin saw the gleaming gold coin lying on the ground in front of him. "Good..."

"Not good at all." Dao Lin kicked it aside, completely ignoring it.

At that point, once he gets the gold coins, he'll jump straight to second place on the leaderboard, and everyone will likely target him.

He doesn't have much ability to protect himself, so he'll just have to collect it slowly, little by little...

This list only shows the top 100; those below can only be viewed with special items. Therefore, he only intends to be number 101, and if necessary, he will also have to throw some coins to ensure that he is not noticed by others.

"First, we need to acquire some items; we'll probably need to open the Surprise Boxes." Dao Lin turned to look at the exquisitely wrapped gift boxes in the corner and sighed deeply.

He's probably only suited to this kind of slacking off.

"Hopefully, I can get a weapon."

Daolin removed the ribbon and opened the box.

The first thing you see is an extremely small pistol, complete with a silencer.

The gun was carefully examined, but no signs of tampering were found.

A group of people were running past him not far away, completely ignoring Dao Lin who was seriously opening the box, as if he didn't exist, and no one noticed his presence.

Zhu Yan patrolled the streets in a black sleeveless robe, the outer garment half-draped over his shoulder, revealing his fair skin and giving him an alluring air. He yawned lazily and asked, "So boring..."

"Master! Can I really kill all the players who pass by?!" The girl, carrying a huge hammer, swaggered behind Zhu Yan, completely lacking the elegance a girl should have. Her long, smoky green hair was neatly tied into a ponytail and hung down behind her head.

She curiously scanned the empty streets, seemingly annoyed that she hadn't encountered any players.

"Misha~ No~" Lan cried, weakly clutching Mia's sleeve, pleading, "It'll damage such great amusement park facilities~"

"Is this all you see?!" Misha said angrily, taking a few steps back and shaking off Lan.

Zhu Yan glanced at the time on the large screen in the air and slowly said, "I'm pretty bored too. I'll give you five minutes to kill on your own, okay?" In the middle of the night, all he wanted to do was sleep, and he was starting to regret agreeing to be Fei Xiu's guest for the September episode.

"Understood!" Misha bowed, then eagerly shouldered the sledgehammer and charged forward.

Dao Lin, engrossed in unpacking the box, was completely unaware that a patrol team had just passed by and escaped unharmed.

He slowly stood up, a hint of a smile in his icy blue eyes, and murmured, "Preparation complete, we can begin the game." He hadn't expected it to be so easy; it was clear there were plenty of '71' Surprise Boxes here.

A player not far away had only managed to let out a miserable scream after opening the surprise box before a hairy claw ripped through his throat.

A fluffy white rabbit with long ears stood on the box, staring intently at the corpse before it with its ruby-like eyes. It moved its three-lobed mouth slightly, then hopped away.

No one would have imagined that such an adorable rabbit could kill a person so easily, without giving them any chance to resist.

Surprise boxes are always accompanied by unpredictable dangers.

Only the luckiest people can get the items they need.

The lucky one is truly lucky; everyone else is just a hardcore grinder.

I won't just write from one person's perspective for the September episode; I'll cover almost all the important supporting characters.
