Deep in the Living

Chapter 399 Cooperation
Waiting area.

Several waiters wearing rabbit masks rushed over immediately with a stretcher and various medical supplies after detecting that a participant showed signs of life loss after passing the level.

All I saw was flowers all over the ground, and Rody standing there with his arm squeezed dry.

"Do you need medical assistance?"

"unnecessary."

Before Luo Di could respond, Hua Yuan rejected him outright. She waved her hand and took away all the wild flowers on Luo Di's arm, no longer squeezing his vitality.

The injury is not serious, it's just that the nutrients have been drained away.

Hua Yuan also knew that Luo Di did not do it on purpose, so he secretly gave him a small bottle of nectar. As long as he drank it, he would be able to return to his best condition.

But her face looked very unhappy, as if she was very disgusted by such a sudden touch.

“Rodi, don’t touch me suddenly next time… You should know why.

Also, we are now in a master-servant relationship. If your behavior is seen by others, the reputation of the sisterhood will be affected."

"Not next time."

Luo Di was very calm. It was indeed his problem.

"Ah! I mean not here."

Just when Hua Yuan was about to say something, Yu Lu, who had not been very engaged and didn't care about the direction of the game, suddenly floated over and stood between the two of them.

The eyes under the bangs seemed to be staring at Luo Di, and the cold voice seemed to lick the surface of the eardrum:

"Rodi, when you were about to leave the first level, did you see anything?

The surveillance footage only showed your personal camera. You seemed to have seen something at the time, so you chose to speed up your pace. Finally, you wanted to reach out and touch her, but you touched Hua Yuan directly. "

"Ah?" Luo Di was surprised. "Because the exit is right in front of me, considering the possible risks, there may be monsters attacking from behind, I naturally quickened my pace.

The exit seemed to be covered with a thin film, and I subconsciously reached out to push it away, but I was teleported back here."

Yu Lu did not respond to Luo Di's explanation, but stared at him quietly. After about a minute, she nodded.

Also at this time,

The waiter who was previously in charge of gambling betting came and brought back the sisters' gambling money, which was five times the amount they had earned, not a penny less.

Hua Yuan quickly put her share into her purse, which was even a little full. She was so excited that she hugged Luo Di's neck and kissed him hard on the face, even making a pecking sound.

This money came too easily, it was equivalent to Hua Yuan's salary for two months of hard work.

Even Yulu smiled faintly, temporarily putting aside her doubts. Dime coins are very important funds, more useful than banknotes in human society.

However, Yu Lu immediately came to her senses and grabbed the waiter who was about to leave.

"Excuse me, why did the betting against Rody suddenly close? Do you know the reason?"

The elephant waiter responded: "The boss closed it himself and didn't tell us the reason. But based on the experience of closing bets in the past, there should be a big gap between the rank of the slave and his own strength, which led to the wrong multiplier estimation.

If Mr. Luo Di chooses to continue to participate in the subsequent levels, we will re-determine the odds based on his performance in the first level, and he can continue to place bets later."

"Besides us, has anyone else bet on Rody before?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you about this due to privacy issues."

Yu Lu didn't force it, and even if she wanted to, she didn't dare to mess around here. Since she couldn't get anything out of him, she chose to rest. The long observation made her a little tired, and a rope fell from the sky.

She actually fell asleep hanging on the rope.

Luo Di also stole a glance at this special sister who was arranged by his grandmother, and vaguely sensed her true purpose.

Not long after he peeked, a slender white arm swung over and patted him on the back, "Hey~ Wu Wen and I are not enough, right? You're interested in Sister Yu now?"

"No." "Your eyes are wide open, and you still say no? Forget it since you helped me make so much money in the first round, and quickly take a look at the pituitary gland you collected."

Rody took out the miniature Iron Maiden, and inside it was the pituitary gland with transparent bone-like seedlings growing on it.

"It's really good. This kind of appearance can be sold for a lot of money. This monster itself is not weak. If it can develop in the future and the plant matures, it will definitely be able to survive in the corner for a long time.

You can actually kill enemies of higher levels. You are worthy of being the man I think most.

You can keep the pituitary gland for now. Since you have Mr. Kraft's characteristics, perhaps you can directly absorb the essence from it to assist the growth of your own plants."

"Hmm..." Luo Di was actually more concerned about something else. "Hua Yuan, the second monster I killed had a strong stench inside its head, and its entire brain, including the pituitary gland, had turned into black liquid. Are these the monsters that were affected by the disaster that you mentioned?"

"Yes,
The entities of fear destroyed their originally stable pituitary structures, causing the normally growing plants to no longer be restrained, and to develop chaotically, become twisted and deformed, and become degenerate and corrupt.

Whether it's for you humans or us monsters,

Fear entities are extremely dangerous.
Our pituitary gland can use the fear entity as nutrient soil to allow the pituitary plant to grow rapidly, improve the system, and advance to the next stage.

The entity of fear itself can also have a negative impact on our pituitary gland. Once something goes wrong, you will become a slave to fear, your system will collapse and you will be in complete chaos."

Luo Di recalled the knowledge he had heard from Miss Youzhen. "I heard that those humans who are attacked by fear will eventually turn into plants and take root in the corner forever... Could it be that the thing I just killed is still in the early stages of transformation? If I leave it alone, it will eventually turn into some kind of deformed plant?"

"Yes, the transformation process takes time. The liquefied structure you see when you cut open his brain is actually a kind of tree sap.

Of course, plant transformation is only the most conventional one.

If some guys are chosen by fear, they may turn into something else, a dangerous individual dominated by the corner... In short, Rody, you only need to know that fear is the biggest obstacle to corner exploration.

There are two main reasons why corner exploration is currently limited to the middle level.
One is that we haven't found the official [connection port] leading to the deeper level.
The second is that the entities of fear in the depths are even more dangerous and can penetrate any hole. Even if those who are not strong enough accidentally go to the depths, they will be immediately swallowed by fear.

So Luo Di, you should try not to run around alone. Even in the middle level area, you will still get into trouble if you encounter a disaster."

"Ah."

"Two corpses are far from enough, right? How many do you plan to collect to build the so-called Demon Ascension Gate?"

"I don't know. The more the better."

"Then you must do your best. Based on my observations in the first round, there are many powerful servants participating in the [Death Challenge], who are even more powerful than the skeleton you killed.

Moreover, Mr. Question Mark has a very active mind, and no one knows how he will arrange the next game.

Don't lose, I will bet on you later~ If you lose, I will beat you to death! No, if you lose, it is equivalent to dying in the game.

It doesn’t matter, the same goes for corpses!”

Seeing that the topic of conversation seemed a little off, Luo Di stopped talking and chose to sit on the ground to recuperate.

About half an hour passed.

The time for the first level [Deep Lost] has come.

All the surveillance screens on the wall were shut down one after another, but before they were shut down, it could be seen that a huge, inescapable, terrifying object entered the game area and eliminated the slaves who failed to escape on time.

The spotlight once again fell on Mr. Question Mark, and a penetrating voice echoed throughout the audience:

“Congratulations! A total of 279 participants passed the first round, with a pass rate of 21.3%! This is higher than I expected.

Before I announce the rules for the second round, participants can choose whether to continue. If you want to withdraw, please raise your hand now. "

There was complete silence, no one raised their hands, or rather, the servants simply could not make their own decisions.

"If not, let's start the second round of the Death Challenge! This round will adopt a cooperative system. Slaves can participate in this game with their masters, of course, only one master.

Once a slave dies during the game, the master will be forcibly eliminated, so masters must protect the slaves you have personally selected and work together to pass the levels.

Please do not do anything that violates the rules of the game, otherwise no matter who you are or what forces are behind you, I will personally wipe you out."
