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

Chapter 252, page 1.17, 29: A Night of Madness
A rustling sound came from the bushes, and then another man dressed in strange and elegant clothes came out.

His long, dark red hair was tied into a long ponytail that hung down to his waist, with a gold hair clip with a tassel at the end that swayed gently as he walked.

She wore a light blue, high-necked, diagonally-fastened robe embroidered with golden cranes. The outer robe, seemingly made of black gauze, partially concealed the robe, giving it a mysterious feel, yet it did not appear gloomy at all.

Holding a longsword adorned with a blood-jade pendant, he exudes the dashing yet elegant air of a swordsman.

That flamboyant and beautiful face, like a peony proudly displaying its beauty to the world, was unforgettable at first glance. Her golden-orange eyes were as dazzling as the sunset, and the touch of vermilion at the corner of her eyes was like the finishing touch, making her even more stunning.

With a calm expression, he stared intently at Mu Yin's retreating figure, and said in a low, captivating, magnetic voice, "Mu Yin." The two simple words were as elegant and mesmerizing as a cello melody.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yin pouted and said, "You didn't give me any cookies, so I have to find food myself. You're not a good owner at all. My expressionless face and I are starving."

Putting everything else aside, Mu Yin is quite adept at shirking responsibility; only he could make his cravings sound so innocent and genuine.

"Did you feed yourself too much, and then you went berserk and attacked the players?" Ling Tong raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.

Ling Tong tried to interact with others, and after taking the first step, she at least stopped rejecting them, and her personality became more and more like a normal person. Of course, this was only in front of Mu Yegui and Mu Yin; when dealing with other strangers, she still maintained that cold, unapproachable demeanor.

"Hmm..." Mu Yin felt inexplicably guilty because he had done it, and it had happened just yesterday.

His narrow blue eyes looked at Ling Tong with a hint of probing. He had never seen this person before, but he felt a sense of familiarity with him.

Red hair...

Suddenly, Shui Qi seemed to remember something, but she couldn't grasp the flash of inspiration no matter what she did.

What were we supposed to do when we boarded that spaceship?

Ling Tong glanced at Shui Qi, who was deep in thought, her golden-orange phoenix eyes darkening slightly, but she showed nothing when she looked at Mu Yin.

Fei watched the parade gradually disappear in the distance, then turned his gaze back and paused for a moment when he saw Mu Yin and Ling Tong, who had appeared out of nowhere. He seemed not to have realized when they had arrived.

"How boring, let's play cards." Mu Yin rummaged in his pocket, the white mask and black book ornament at his waist swaying and clinking softly.

Mu Yin took out a deck of cards and waved it at Fei and Shui Qi, saying, "Exactly four people."

Shui Qi's lips twitched slightly. No, no, the psychological trauma from playing cards on the ship and at the hotel hadn't faded yet, and he didn't want to play cards again at all. Besides, in this place where danger lurked at any moment, he simply couldn't relax and concentrate on playing cards.

"There won't be any danger," Mu Yin said, looking up at Shui Qi as if he knew what he was thinking.

"How so?" Shui Qi asked.

“Because I have cleared out all the apostles lying in ambush around here, and the dungeon owners who are guests are now in the guest seats in the distant tents, in principle, as long as they don’t get within 20 meters of the parade, there will be no danger.” Mu Yin’s fingers twitched slightly, and a handful of gold coins appeared in his palm.

"I have 70 gold coins here. Want to place a bet?" His cold, dark gold vertical pupils were arrogant and domineering. A slight smile played on his lips as he gestured, and the gold coins fell to the ground.

The gold coins landed with a crisp sound, drawing the attention of the surrounding players, their eyes filled with greed and desire. "It's simple. If you lose, you have to leave behind an organ from your body—a finger, arm, foot, heart, head, etc., anything goes~ But don't worry, I'm not after you for the food; I just want to see you torture yourselves."

Seeing the people hesitate, Mu Yin continued, "As long as you win, you won't have to pay any price and you'll even get a gold coin. Don't you want to try your luck?"

On the leaderboard at the top of the screen, Mu Yin's name was prominently displayed at the top, with 80 gold coins, a full 55 more than the second-place finisher.

One gold coin requires killing at least 100 yellow-named NPCs, and 80 gold coins would require killing 8000 people. Therefore, Mu Yin's claim that he slaughtered all the NPCs around him was not an exaggeration or a lie, but a complete fact.

Furthermore, Mu Yegui also possesses 25 gold coins, and his gold and silver coins also meet the minimum requirement of 10 gold coins.

While Shui Qi was inwardly shocked, he didn't forget to scan the restless players around him, even his so-called teammates were incredibly tempted. Everyone ignored the fact that losing meant losing an organ; they were all only thinking about winning and getting gold coins.

The dungeon will end in two days. If you can survive these two days and have ten gold coins, you can leave this dungeon alive. Among the hundreds of thousands of people, only a handful of lucky ones survive.

No one wants to die.

Ling Tong leaned against the streetlamp, clutching the sword, seemingly too lazy to stop him.

Shui Qi frowned, but didn't say anything or intend to participate, even though she had a very bad feeling.

Fei gripped the handle of the staff hanging at his waist, as if he was ready to act at the slightest provocation.

"One by one~" Mu Yin sat cross-legged on the ground, casually shuffled the cards, and then spread them all out face down on the ground.

"You win as long as you draw the cards I call out in one go. You can play as many times as you want, but if you lose a round, you have to pay a 'deposit' for that round." Mu Yin rested his chin on his hand, looking at the ragged woman who had squeezed in front of him with a smile on her face, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Ace,” Mu Yin said. “Draw the hidden ace from here.”

He repeated it again, as if afraid they wouldn't understand.

Shui Qi's expression changed slightly, and the fingers gripping the pistol tightened slightly.

"You have to draw the ace accurately, otherwise it will escape. If it escapes, it will be very difficult to find. Even if you leave behind an organ, you will die from excessive bleeding~" Mu Yin hummed a song happily and said lightly.

His words seemed to be implying something, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that his entire focus was on the deck of cards in front of him.

He flew back three steps, completely away from the fountain, and without hesitation drew the hand stick from his waist and held it in front of him in a guarded posture.

Ling Tong sighed softly, then suddenly spoke to Shui Qi and Fei, "You'd better not make any rash moves."

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to a stranger. Although it was a reminder, he was starting to open up more than before.

This chapter is all in riddles.
