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

Chapter 231, page 1.17, 8: A Night of Madness
"Is it already morning?" Dao Lin leaned against the wall, looking at the bright sky. He glanced down at the gold pocket watch in his hand, the hour hand at eight, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is now 8 a.m., which means that the war that started at midnight has temporarily ended.

He glanced up at the huge screen in the air, a knowing look flashing in his icy blue eyes. Sure enough, they were all familiar faces.

【…】

"As expected, as long as you don't touch them directly with your hands, they won't be counted in the score." Dao Lin looked down at his hands, which were covered in black gloves. In his left palm lay two gold coins and three silver coins.

"But we don't know when this vulnerability will be fixed, so it's better to deal with the potential problem first."

He clenched his left hand into a fist and turned to walk towards the commercial street.

I don't know what will happen during my first break. I only have one hour, so I'll use these two gold coins to buy necessities.

As Dao Lin pondered this, he walked towards the commercial street. Suddenly, he sensed something and paused slightly. Then, he turned around abruptly to look at the boy who had just brushed past him.

All that could be seen was an unfamiliar back view. The white brocade robe was intricately designed yet extremely simple, outlining the young man's slender and tall figure. The gold patterns were delicately depicted, making him appear noble and elegant.

Her long, jet-black hair was simply tied into a ponytail with a sandy gold ribbon, swaying slightly behind her head. Her hands were placed behind her back, and one could vaguely see a rolled-up scroll in her hands, making one wonder what would be revealed when it was unrolled.

Dao Lin was slightly taken aback, his icy blue eyes fixed on the figure that was getting further and further away. He felt that this person was a bit strange, as if he had seen him before and felt a very familiar feeling.

he……

who is it?

The next second, the figure vanished into thin air.

He blinked his icy blue eyes, subconsciously rubbed them, and slightly opened his mouth. Dao Lin's expression showed a hint of surprise. Had he disappeared?

Or is it just that he's sleep-deprived and his eyes are blurry?

Dao Lin yawned deeply, tears welling in his eyes, looking utterly exhausted.

"You're a little late." Shui Qi sat in a seat at the outdoor cafe, raised the steaming hot cocoa in her hand, smiled lightly at Dao Lin, and said slowly.

A plate of sandwiches sat on the table, while Fei, who was sitting opposite Shui Qi, remained silent, holding a glass of milk.

"How did you two end up together?" Dao Lin walked over with a headache, pulled out a chair and sat down, covering his head with his hands and saying uncomfortably, "Staying up all night is too exhausting, especially with my brain constantly working. I feel like I'm going to die of premature ejaculation."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Shui Qi was taken aback at first, then suddenly burst into laughter, "You're too weak, hahaha." Dao Lin: "..." I really want to tear this person's mouth apart.

Fei silently took a sip of milk, picked up a sandwich and took a bite, listening quietly to the two exchanging information. In her heart, however, she was thinking of leaving immediately; she didn't want to stay with these two at all.

"So, these little games really can only be played with strategy and brains, or you're doomed... That really fits the script of this world." Shui Qi said slowly, resting her chin on her hand and raising her narrow blue eyes.

"I'm going to sleep for a while." Dao Lin yawned, leaned on the table, and slowly closed his eyes.

Shui Qi pushed the sandwich plate away, frowning, and said, "Can we eat breakfast first?! We only have one hour of rest time, and you expect to leisurely eat breakfast during the second game?"

"It's okay, no one will notice me after the game starts, I can have breakfast in peace." Dao Lin muttered, not knowing if the others heard him clearly.

"That's why I hate lucky people the most." Shui Qi tightened her grip on the hot cocoa cup slightly and said through gritted teeth.

Not far away, Mu Yegui was holding a coupon and looking for a place to redeem it.

"All areas lead to a commercial street, and surprisingly it's not crowded..." Ke Ya looked up at the screen in the air and exclaimed in surprise, "There were 100,000 people at the beginning, but now there are only 10,000!! And it's only been eight hours!"

"Newspapers for sale! I need a copy of the latest newspaper!" the newspaper boy called out as he walked by, holding up a newspaper.

"I'd like one here!" Shui Qi turned around, raised her hand, and said with a light laugh to the newspaper boy.

"One silver coin, thank you for your patronage," the newspaper boy said, extending his hand towards Shui Qi.

"Huh? That's expensive." Shui Qi looked very surprised, but still took out a silver coin and put it in the newspaper boy's hand.

He had barely opened the newspaper when his narrow blue eyes darkened.

[Breaking News! The pirate ship captain in Zone D and the beast tamer in Zone G were killed by Mu Yegui in a single encounter! Attention all players!]

Shui Qi: "..." Killed two instance owners, you really are worthy of being called Mu Ye Gui?
"Oh~" A chorus of boos came from the surrounding area.

Mu Yegui blinked her clear, silver eyes, looking at the crowd that surrounded her but dared not approach her out of fear.

"Is something the matter?" a soft, sweet voice asked gently.

"No, no!" the group said in unison, while involuntarily taking a step back.

"Ah~ How terrifying, over there." Shui Qi straddled the chair at some point, hugging the backrest with her hands and gloating.

"Hmm..." Dao Lin shifted his position on the table and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, I sat up abruptly, turned my head to look in a certain direction, but saw no one.

"What's wrong?" Shui Qi looked at Dao Lin while hugging the backrest, her expression showing a hint of confusion.

"No, it's nothing." Dao Lin shook his head, lowered his eyes to look at his hands wearing black gloves, and a dark glint flashed in his icy blue eyes.

It must be an illusion...

perhaps……

Is it really just an illusion?

If it were just an illusion, the same feeling wouldn't be experienced twice.

Sure enough, that person really exists.

In the corner, the black-haired boy leaned against the wall, clutching the scroll in his hand, and sighed softly, "It's too dangerous. I can only avoid this area."
