You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

The fat man, with a bitter face, wearing a pair of yellow rubber gloves he had taken from his desk for washing dishes, and holding a pair of pliers, carefully walked to the dead mouse.

He crouched down, enduring the nauseating stench, and used pliers to pry open the rat's open mouth.

"This smell is so damn strong, it's even stronger than the third brother's sneakers that he hasn't washed in a month."

The fat man muttered to himself as he used pliers to grab the rat's sharp incisor, which was three or four centimeters long, and pulled it out forcefully.

"Crunch."

[System Notification: You have obtained a 'Broken Mutant Rat Tooth' (gray debris). Due to its integrity being less than 50%, the supply station refuses to recycle it.]

"Damn it!" The fat man smashed the broken half of his tooth on the ground. "This broken system is picky! It won't accept anything that's broken!"

"Hey, be careful! This thing's really crunchy!" Chen Fei pointed and nagged from the side. "If you break all our instant noodles, you're going to be gnawing on a metal cabinet today!"

The fat man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replaced it with a dead rat.

This time he was careful, gripping his teeth and slowly applying force.

A soft "pop" sound.

A perfectly intact front tooth, streaked with blood and with a slightly yellowish sheen, was pulled out.

[System Notification: You have obtained 1 "Complete Mutant Rat Tooth" (Quest Item).]

"Got it! Got it! The first one!"

The fat man was as excited as a miner who had struck gold, carefully putting the teeth into a plastic bag.

For the next hour, the four-person team from room 404 transformed into ruthless cleaners.

They pushed down from the third floor to the second floor.

The roaming monsters in the corridors and the lone rats hiding in the dormitories gnawing on corpses all became their ATMs.

Su Hao's position as the main DPS is secure; at this stage, the [Bloodstained Thug Fire Axe] is practically a game-changer. Unless he's being ganged up on by a horde of rats, he can basically one-shot them all.

Zhao Lei's combat experience also became richer and richer. He even learned to use the terrain in the corridor, such as pushing over trash cans or kicking down doors, to create obstacles to trap the rats.

The fat guy is the worst off.

His actions have now changed from uncontrollable vomiting at the beginning to numb, assembly-line worker-like behavior.

He stepped on the rat's head, clamped and pulled it out with pliers, and threw it into the bag. The whole sequence of movements was fluid and lifeless, like a walking corpse.

"How much more is needed?"

After kicking open the fire door of the stairwell on the first floor, Su Hao leaned on his axe, slightly out of breath.

The intense battle not only boosted his experience bar to 80% of Lv.2, but also raised his control over this digitized body to a new level.

The fat man shook the heavy plastic bag in his hand, and a rattling sound of bones clattering came from inside.

"I just counted, and we're pretty lucky, the drop rate is about 70%. We've picked a total of 182 whole ones. We just need 18 more to reach 200 to exchange for instant noodles."

"Damn it, this job is inhuman."

Chen Fei leaned against the wall, feeling his wrists trembling.

Why is it so quiet on the first floor?

The four of them walked out of the stairwell, and the beams of their flashlights swept across the first-floor corridor.

The atmosphere here is completely different from upstairs.

The first floor is the dormitory lobby, which connects to the outside iron gate and several dormitory manager's offices and storage rooms.

At this moment, the stainless steel gate facing the main gate had been severely deformed by the impact, and had been dented inward in a terrifying arc.

It was covered in bits of meat and black hair.

Clearly, the massive swarm of rats earlier had broken through the door from the outside and rushed in.

The corridor floor was covered with crushed rat carcasses and human bones, and blood had even pooled into small puddles on the floor.

But strangely enough...

There isn't a single living monster here right now.

It was so quiet that you could only hear the four of them breathing.

"This is too quiet." Zhao Lei frowned, gripping the broken broom handle tightly. "Something's definitely up to no good. Everyone be on your guard."

Su Hao nodded and slowly moved the beam of his flashlight along the corridor.

When the beam of light swept across the end of the corridor, past the "dormitory manager's office" that students usually avoided, the beam stopped.

The wooden door to the dormitory manager's office was half-open.

Unlike other places, it wasn't plunged into absolute darkness inside.

Instead, it emitted a strange, flickering dark red light.

Like the red light in an old-fashioned photo studio, it stood out starkly at the end of the dark corridor.

"Holy crap, there's light?" Chen Fei lowered his voice, a hint of tension in it.

"Red light... Could it be a red-named monster? Or maybe the boss of this floor's starting area?"

The fat man instinctively shrank back behind Su Hao.

"Whatever it is, go and see."

Su Hao gripped the fire axe tightly, his eyes sharp.

"We've basically wiped out all the ordinary rats in this building. If there really is a boss, killing it will definitely drop a huge loot. If it's a safe zone, even better."

The four of them tiptoed along the wall, slowly making their way toward the dormitory manager's office.

The closer you get, the clearer the dark red light becomes, and you can even faintly hear a very regular "snoring...snoring..." sound coming from inside.

It looked like some huge wild beast was sleeping and snoring.

Su Hao walked to the door and took a deep breath.

He gestured to Zhao Lei, indicating that he was ready to break in.

Zhao Lei nodded, swallowed hard, and then yanked open the half-closed wooden door!

"Don't move! Hands up!" Chen Fei shouted dramatically, raising a fruit knife and preparing to rush in.

Su Hao also raised his fire axe, ready to strike at any moment.

however.

When the beam of the flashlight and the dark red light in the room intertwined, illuminating the scene inside the dormitory manager's room.

All four of them froze at the doorway, as if they had been frozen in place.

The imagined monsters covered in tentacles, or the gigantic rat king, do not exist.

In the center of the room, on the worn-out single bed, lay a person peacefully.

To be precise, he was an old man wearing down-to-earth floral shorts, a faded yellow tank top, and plastic slippers.

The old man was lying sprawled on the bed, clutching a chipped stainless steel thermos tightly in his hands, snoring loudly like thunder.

And above his head.

A line of system text, prominently displayed and emitting a soft green glow, floated above the screen:

[Jiangcheng University Beginner Village - Mysterious Merchant]
