This bug is amazing!

Chapter 40 Hidden Level
squeak--

The iron gate made a teeth-grinding sound.

When it was fully opened, a paper effigy appeared in front of the two.

Chinese-style supernatural monsters.

【Name: Ghost Marriage Paper Puppet】

Risk level: Low

[Note: This is just a random comment; I'm too lazy to make it up.]

"It looks like a paper effigy burned for the dead."

Ji Yi "analyzed" and then looked at Miss Cat: "Do you think burning this thing will kill it?"

"Who burned it?" Miss Cat adjusted her collar.

“I’m dressed perfectly normal. Is it Mr. Giba who’s judging people with prejudice?”

"."

Where did your mind wander off to?

"I'll take care of this paper figure."

Ji Yi took out a windproof lighter.

brush--

He rushed forward at lightning speed.

Click.

A tiny flame slowly rose, but the moment it touched the paper figure, it vanished instantly.

Ji Yi: "?"

"Who the hell took the paper doll Boruto made?"

Paper figure: "."

boom!
suddenly.

The paper figure suddenly raised its foot and kicked Ji Yi in the stomach.

Ji Yi didn't add any points to her agility, so her reaction time was slow and her movements weren't very flexible.

boom--

He was knocked away and crashed solidly to the ground.

Because of his high physical strength, the blow did not cause any injury.

"You have no sportsmanship, you dare to ambush a 26-year-old old comrade like me!"

Ji Yi was furious. He got up and was about to punch the paper figure to pieces.

But then Miss Cat arrived in front of the paper figure.

He chopped it down with an axe.

The paper figure instantly split in two.

[Level 1 cleared]

[Reward: One roll of toilet paper]

"."

Looking at the two rolls of toilet paper in her inventory, Ji Yi's feelings became complicated.

"Leave the monsters behind to me, you just need to support me."

Miss Cat tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle and looked at Ji Yi.

".good."

The two walked towards a corner.

There are stairs leading to the second floor.

"The monsters in two-player mode will be a bit harder to deal with, but don't worry, I will protect Mr. Giba."

"I wasn't scared."

"Then could you please stop cowering behind me?"

"it is good."

Ji Yi emerged from under her skirt:

"I really can't see anything, it's amazing, it's always new and interesting."

"."

Ji Yi was genuinely sighing.

"Even the Eye of Data can't see through it, this equipment is truly amazing."

As they were thinking this, the two arrived at the second floor.

Before us lay a narrow passage.

There are two forks in the road at the end.

Miss Cat turned her head: "It seems like it's one side for each person. You can choose one."

Ji Yi: "Wait, I think something's fishy."

"what?"

"Could this be a path to survival or a path to death? If we choose the wrong one, we'll be doomed?"

Miss Cat: "There are no such traps on the first ten floors."

"Anything is possible. For example, one of these two paths might be a dead end, while the other might be a passable road. We need to consider it carefully."

Miss Cat: "If you encounter a dead end, you can turn back."

"No, no, no, what if this road is designed so that you can only go in but not out?"

"..." Miss Cat sighed. "What do you want?"

"Better safe than sorry. As the team's strategist, I should guard the crossroads. You go to the left and test the waters. Come back to me when it's safe."

"."

Miss Cat fell into a long silence.

She didn't say anything and walked to the left.

Looking back before leaving, Ji Yi indeed intended to wait in the same spot.

Shaking her head, Miss Cat disappeared into the depths of the passage.

after awhile.

Ji Yi pricked up her ears, making sure that Miss Cat had gone far away.

He immediately sprinted towards the right-hand passage. "If it weren't for the Eye of Data, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that there was a hidden level here."

Hidden Level: The Twins' Labyrinthine Corridor

[Triggering condition: Both players defeat the gatekeeper monster, choose not to enter the next level, and return to the fork in the road]

Thirty minutes later.

When Miss Cat returned from the left passage, her face was visibly cold.

“Mr. Little Jiba, the monster in the right passage hasn’t been dealt with, I can’t get through.”

Ji Yi looked surprised: "Really? Then it seems I was overthinking it."

"."

Just as Miss Cat was about to say something...

The scene has changed.

buzzing-

As the terrain shifted automatically, the two passageways underwent severe deformation.

When the noise stops.

What was originally an ordinary passage has been transformed into a twisted and eerie tunnel.

[Hidden level triggered: Twin's Labyrinth]

Miss Cat narrowed her eyes: "You expected this all along?"

Ji Yi scratched his head: "No, I'm just afraid of the dark and don't dare to walk alone."

Miss Cat's expression kept changing, but she didn't expose Ji Yi's clumsy acting.

"Will Mr. Kiba, as the commander, be stationed at the crossroads this time?"

"No! I understand now. As a leader, I should be hands-on and at the forefront. That way, we can split into two groups, cooperate and achieve mutual benefit, and we'll definitely be able to quickly take down the hidden level."

"it is good."

The two stepped into the fork in the road at the same time.

The road ahead was dark and deep, the entire passage looking as if it had been twisted into a pretzel.

The road surface was rough and uneven, and the bricks and stones were twisted.

Ji Yi didn't run; this terrain is easy to slip and fall.

We walked quickly into the depths.

A pure white mechanical puppet appeared before us.

The puppet is humanoid, about two meters tall, and its material looks like jade.

【Name: Yang Kui】

Risk level: Low

[Note: Corresponding to the Yin Puppet, defeating it will reward you with "Twin Jade - Yang"]

"Just by looking at the name, you can tell it's a good prop."

A hint of excitement flashed across Ji Yi's face.

brush--

"Shunpo!"

Ji Yi quickly came to Yang Kui's side.

"Ordinary punch!"

A punch landed on Yang Kui, sending shards of stone flying.

"Sound turn!"

With another instantaneous movement, he dodged Yang Kui's counterattack and appeared behind his opponent.

"Continuous normal punches!"

Bang bang bang!
Ten punches per second, each strike carrying tremendous impact.

Yang Kui did not fall; instead, his arm joints twisted strangely and suddenly, launching a grabbing motion behind him.

"shave!"

Ji Yi disappeared from the spot again, and then reappeared in front of Yang Kui.

"Ultimate move - Serious Punch!"

boom!
The fist slammed out like a bullet, and the powerful force of the punch exploded with an impact force of tens of tons the moment it made contact with the puppet.

Wow!

The puppet was dilapidated, with its parts scattered all over the ground.

One strike kills!

"hiss"

Ji Yi covered her bleeding fist:
"Damn it, I cut my hand on the shards."

While the hidden attribute points did give him a body that could freely wield speed, it was still far from being invulnerable to blades and spears.

"Since I didn't buy any medical supplies like bandages, I can only try using raw rice to make charcoal."

The data told him that a vein in his hand had been punctured and needed to be treated.

Take out the rice.

He grabbed a handful and swallowed it.

"Hmm? The effect is good."

Data Eye clearly visualizes the character's status.

【HP: 97%】

【HP: 98%】

【life.】

After eating three large handfuls of raw rice, the wound has healed and scabbed over, and I feel very energetic.

Good skill.

"I'll have to learn all of A Luo's skills sooner or later; I can't just pay the apprenticeship fee for nothing."

After secretly making up my mind.

Ji Yi looked at the extra reward in her inventory:

【Name: Twin Jade - Yang】

【Effect:】
