This bug is amazing!

The only way to pass Chapter 128
【Name: A Top-Tier Delivery Service Card】

[Type: props]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Pay a fee to purchase what you want and have it delivered (delivery within two hours), no cooldown time]

[Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes]

[Note: Niuren Express, cross-industry service! (Also note: Please do not purchase items beyond the delivery person's capabilities.)]

Looking at the card in front of her, Xie Jiayi was somewhat tempted.

The shrewd person pressed on while the iron was hot: "To be honest, this voucher won't be of much use to you, but it's crucial to me. I believe this is a worthwhile deal for both of us."

Xie Jiayi simply asked, "What do you mean by paying a certain amount of compensation?"

The expert patiently explained: "Anything of value can be considered a reward, such as money or goods, but currency without purchasing power is not acceptable."

This is easy to understand. For example, in a zombie dungeon, it's useless to take a lot of money from the bank. The currency system in that world has long collapsed, and money has become worthless. It's impossible for people to exploit bugs to exchange for a lot of equipment.

"Not bad." Xie Jiayi nodded. "Then let's change it."

The two exchanged props.

The deal was completed just like that, and it went smoothly.

The man carefully tucked the voucher into his pocket and got up to leave.

"Wait!!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the staff break area.

Xie Jiayi was stunned. She checked the time. There was still an hour before her shift. Why was Ji Yi awake?
The expert was taken aback upon hearing the sound and looked in the direction of the voice.

His position was blocked by the shelves, so he couldn't see Ji Yi.

"Brother Niu, wait a moment before you leave. I want to discuss something with you."

Ji Yi, naturally, couldn't see the big shot from his position. But according to the rules, he couldn't come out directly at this moment, so he could only shout from afar.

The expert followed the sound and took a few steps forward, finally arriving at the passageway directly opposite the back door.

He asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"I want to return it."

As Ji Yi spoke, she pointed to Ma Yong.

Yu Arima: "???"

"Send this guy back to me. I made a mistake. I meant to buy Arima Kishou, but I ended up with this piece of junk."

Arima Yu: "."

"Hurry up, return the goods, return the goods, and take this person away."

The expert was taken aback for a moment, but didn't have any objections.

His delivery service allows for returns.

Seeing this, he grabbed Ma Yong's arm and said, "Come with me."

"Eh eh eh?"

Yu Ma disappeared into the darkness outside the convenience store, completely bewildered.

A moment later, Miss Cat walked towards Ji Yi step by step, her face full of doubt.

Ji Yi had already picked up paper and pen and was writing rapidly:
"I've already dreamt about the key events of the next three days, and now we're facing a certain death situation."

Miss Cat stood to the side, quietly watching Ji Yi write.

"But I have a risky way to break the deadlock. You must remember my orders and execute them strictly! Engrave them in your mind!"

Turning it over, Ji Yi wrote on the blank back, this time in larger and bolder font:

"From this moment on, you are only allowed to stay in the lounge and are not to come out! Someone will take care of everything!"

As you continue writing, the font size returns to normal:

"Water, food, and even chamber pots will be provided in the room. Don't go out until the dungeon is over!"

Miss Cat frowned and picked up her pen:

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No need. Just wait patiently from now on. Too many people will actually make it harder to pass the level."

Ten minutes were almost up.

Ji Yi got up to leave.

Feeling Miss Cat grab her arm, Ji Yi turned her head in confusion.

She handed over the "Amazing Delivery Service Card".

"Take care." Miss Cat patted her chest.

Ji Yi took the card, somewhat bewildered.

Then he patted Miss Cat's chest.

Miss Cat: "."

Why that expression? Did she not mean that?
Without saying anything more, Ji Yi went straight to the cashier and reset the ten-minute timer.

Next, I walked to the shelves: water, drinks, food, and then a few basins and buckets.

Take these items to the lounge.

Everything is now complete.

You Ma Yong has also been seen off, and Miss Cat has been settled in.

The next method of passing the level might be his most risky yet, but he believes the success rate is quite high, at least more reliable than using an electric baton to shock Grandpa.

Thinking to myself, I waited quietly for the latter half of the night to arrive.

3:27 am.

A familiar-looking guest arrived at the door.

"Wow, it's my brother-in-law!"

Then Song Wanyao ran happily to the counter: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Ji Yi: "."

What the heck is "brother-in-law"?

"Sister Song, is there some misunderstanding between us? Miss Cat and I have absolutely no relationship whatsoever. No, it's just a pure revolutionary comradeship."

Ji Yi spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.

"I understand, the uglier the better, right? Brother Ji's aesthetic doesn't suit my looks."

Song Wanyao said sweetly.

Ji Yi offered a very straightforward, "straight man's" evaluation:

"To be honest, putting aside personal aesthetics and analyzing from an objective aesthetic point of view, Miss Cat's appearance is rather far from pretty. Moreover, she said that this is only after the beautification in the game, and she is even less attractive in real life."

As he spoke, he secretly observed Song Wanyao's reaction.

To be honest, he was still a little skeptical about the idea that Miss Cat was even uglier in real life, so he wanted to test the waters.

The other person's tone was very natural: "Sigh~ Brother Ji is such a sucker for good looks. So what do you think of me? Do you like me?"

Song Wanyao did not deny Ji Yi's statement, but instead turned her attack on him.

Ji Yi frankly said, "From an aesthetic point of view, it looks pretty good, but it's not my type. I prefer Lai Lai to be a bit bigger."

Song Wanyao: "."

She stopped teasing Ji Yi unnecessarily: "Brother Ji, are you playing a dungeon? What difficulty level are you playing?"

Ji Yi nodded: "Yeah, it's a nightmare level game. I'm duo queuing with Miss Cat. She's resting right now, and we're taking turns on duty."

"Oh~" Song Wanyao said thoughtfully.

"By the way, I have something to ask you now that you're here."

Ji Yi didn't intend to continue chatting.

"What do you know about this convenience store and the road outside? Tell me, I'm very curious."

Song Wanyao glanced at the clock and nodded.

Then he plopped down in front of the cashier: "There's a lot to say about this."

She spun around, moving her feet from outside the counter to inside, her little toes dangling back and forth.

Ji Yi's attention was momentarily drawn, and she glanced at it.

[Large size 34.]

'I didn't ask you, why are you so concerned about this?'

I thought you liked it.

'roll. ’

"This road outside is a highway that leads to various worlds. In theory, ordinary people can travel on it. However, if you lack experience, you will most likely get lost on the road and never be able to return or reach the next destination."

Can ordinary people also take this path?
Ji Yi remembered the old woman from the first night; it seemed she had wandered into this place by mistake.

"As for the origin of this path, I don't know. Who knows? Anyway, all sorts of intelligent life forms from all walks of life use it, so it has a long history. However, due to the instability of this path, reaching the destination is often not guaranteed. You might want to go to World A, but you might accidentally end up in World B. So many people know about it, but not many actually travel this path." I see.

Ji Yi nodded, then took out the [Dimensional Coordinate Device].

"I've already entered the coordinates of the 'nightclub,' but I can't leave the convenience store. Could you please enter the coordinates of the area outside the store for me?"

"Wow, this is a great thing!" Song Wanyao's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll help Brother Ji this once, but Brother Ji must remember my kindness and use it to bring Sister to me."

"Don't worry, you two sisters are so close, would I bear to break you up?"

Song Wanyao chuckled, picked up the dimensional coordinate device, and walked out of the store.

Ji Yi smiled helplessly and shook his head, then lowered his head and waited for her to return.

Below their line of sight was the counter where Song Wanyao had just sat.

It's still warm.

That's nonsense. Nobody would believe that.

Touched it with my hand.

'Mmm, it's still warm.'

As expected of the highest level of pseudo-human, its body temperature is incredibly close to that of a human.

【.】

"Brother Ji, what are you doing?"

Ji Yi looked up and saw that Song Wanyao had appeared in front of her as if she had teleported there.

He remained calm and unhurried:
"I noticed the counter was a bit dusty, so I just wiped it clean. Don't misunderstand. Have you recorded the coordinates?"

"Okay." Song Wanyao returned the dimensional coordinate device to Ji Yi.

Looking at the notes, sure enough, after the entry for "nightclub", there was an additional "deserted road".

"Great, let's continue our conversation. What do you know about this convenience store?"

Song Wanyao sat on the cashier's counter, her index finger resting on her chin, as if she were reminiscing.

"The proprietress's name seems to be Cuihua. She must have connections to be able to open a shop here. Of course, connections are one aspect, but she's also quite capable. According to the power rankings of a certain world, she should be considered an S+ level fighter."

I see. But it doesn't seem particularly impressive.

At least in terms of combat power, it's not even at the top level in an island nation; it can only be considered first-rate.

However, the ability to traverse dungeon worlds doesn't seem to have much to do with combat strength.

Those fake people in the fake human apartment are very weak, yet they can reliably enter other worlds.

The "expert" clearly didn't possess exceptional strength, yet he was still able to traverse various realms.

Whether or not one can enter other worlds depends on two things: whether the technology tree has been developed in the right direction and whether there are connections. Strength plays a very small role.

Having understood these points, Ji Yi gained a general understanding of the dungeon world as a whole.

"By the way, do you have a way to contact the landlady? It's not that I can't lure her over, but once I see her, it basically means I'm doomed."

At this point, Ji Yi noticed that Song Wanyao glanced at the clock again.

She really couldn't stay any longer.

Song Wanyao sighed, "I'm sorry, Brother Ji, I can't help you with this, but if you're worried about your safety, I can be your bodyguard for a while."

How long can you stay?

"Hmm, before eight o'clock."

"Can't we stay for another hour? Just one hour."

Song Wanyao simply shook her head: "I can't do it. I have to leave before eight o'clock."

"That's it"

Ji Yi sighed.

The last resort has also been blocked, so it seems we have no choice but to resort to the original plan.

"Miss Cat is sleeping in the lounge. Would you like to see her?"

Song Wanyao gently shook her head: "No, let my sister rest well. We'll have another chance to meet next time. After all, Brother Ji has a coordinate device, doesn't he?"

"Ah."

Ji Yi didn't try to persuade her further.

The two chatted casually, while customers came in twos and threes, making it a relatively peaceful time.

Around six o'clock, the hunchbacked old man came again.

His eyes lit up when he saw Song Wanyao, and he excitedly pounced on her.

Click.

With a single slap, Song Wanyao struck the old man on the head, shattering all his bones and causing him to collapse limply to the ground.

It turned into a puddle of mud.

Ji Yi: "The trash can is in the backyard. Hurry up and throw it away, or I'll get punished."

Song Wanyao: "Oh."

It was past 7:50 when Ji Yi said goodbye to Song Wanyao.

I was all alone in the shop again.

I wrote down what I wanted on the purchase list:

Scalpel, anesthetic, and portable organ transport refrigerated box.

Time flies, and eight o'clock arrived in the blink of an eye.

There is less than an hour left before the faceless man attacks.

Ji Yi picked up the anesthetic and injected it directly into her face.

With data-driven oversight, there's no need to worry about incorrect dosages or injecting the wrong spot, potentially causing you to faint or die.

You should know that there are many nerves in the face, and it's easy to have a mishap if you're not careful.

To ensure that his scalpel would be sharp enough during the surgery, he tried to use as little anesthetic as possible.

After doing all this,
He took the remaining two items and went to the bathroom.

"If you can't leave the counter for more than ten minutes, then I'll have to be a bit ruthless."

Looking in the bathroom mirror, Ji Yi picked up the scalpel and carefully inserted it into her jaw.

I do not know how long it has been.

A bloodied face lay inside a portable organ transport refrigerated box.

With her head covered in blood and gore, Ji Yi returned to the counter.

Then, the crucial item was retrieved:
【Name: The Faceless Mask】

[Effect: After wearing this garment, facial features will disappear, and everyone will experience cognitive impairment towards the wearer. If a new face is not found within three days, the wearer will remain faceless forever.]

[Note: This could be a last resort for survival in a crisis.]

Touching the smooth mask, Ji Yi fell into thought.

You'd better think this through.

Text popped up in front of me.

Everyone will develop a cognitive dissonance towards you, including you and me. I will disappear just like last time, refusing to acknowledge you as my master.

Even I cannot discern the Faceless Ones' past. These masks are not simple; they are most likely related to deities. The consequences of your failure will be severe.

Do you think I will succeed?

【.meeting.】

"Isn't this the end?"

Ji Yi's logout button has already been used to give him a chicken leg.

If he paid such a high price and still failed to clear the game, and instead lost a level, that would be unacceptable to him.

Having been comfortable with Yangyang for too long, Ji Yi felt a great sense of crisis, which forced him to take risks to become stronger.

And this is the only way.

In his dreams, he had tried to disguise himself, even when he appeared as a landlady, a cleaner, or a non-human monster.

He couldn't shake off his identity as an "employee," and the Faceless Man only recognized his identity.

They must abandon their identities to escape the massacre.

Slowly put the mask on his face.

Beneath the mask, the mangled flesh gradually healed, giving rise to a smooth, rounded skin.

"Who am I again?"

The faceless one muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the clock struck 20:58.

Another faceless man walked in outside the convenience store.
