[A powerful sense of destruction.]

The system's voice completely stopped.

Pei Zhao had already spread his arms and was falling straight backward.

Kairos collapsed into Su Yuan's arms, utterly exhausted.

"Your Highness, I look forward to our next meeting."

【1--】

The countdown has started again.

When Su Yuan came to her senses, she was already in the waiting room.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Rewards are being calculated.]

[Rewarded host lifespan: 1, current lifespan: 4.5]

On the live stream page:

[Congratulations to the player who uprooted the willow tree and achieved the hidden achievement: Saving Happiness City.]

[Escape from the Occupied Zone dungeon completed, final rating: SSS!]

System rewards and dungeon ratings occur almost simultaneously.

After the viewers in the live stream recovered their screens, all they could see was a large, bloody line of text describing the dungeon.

The live stream page then displayed "closed".

The viewers in the live stream went wild.

The dungeon rating was clearly displayed in the sky on the live stream screen just now, so how come the dungeon rating changed from SS to SSS after the screen went black?

What exactly happened?

The system's rewards are still being calculated:

[Congratulations, host, for achieving full affinity and successfully unlocking the eerie ability: Eerie Aura Empowerment. This ability can only be applied to oneself. After use, it will imbue oneself with eerie aura fluctuation values ​​based on the host's mental strength. Current eerie aura empowerment level: C-level.]

Su Yuan was somewhat dazed, seemingly still not out of the dungeon.

The system felt a pang of sympathy for the host while also being comforted that the host could sense sadness.

[Host, don't be sad. There's nothing we can do about it. The target's soul was too damaged.]

If it weren't for the soul fragments temporarily holding him together, he would have been gradually consumed by himself.

Su Yuan's long eyelashes fluttered.

The system hadn't expected its comforting words to be so effective.

Su Yuan slowly moved her lips.

[Host, what do you want to ask? Don't worry, the target is an extremely high-risk anomaly; this level of danger isn't enough to kill him. At most, disrupting the dungeon's program will result in being punished by the dungeon.]

"Damn system! Go to hell! Why didn't you tell me sooner that Pei Zhao's soul was incomplete!" Su Yuan angrily pointed at the void and cursed.

The system jolted violently.

It's really overthinking things!

How could the host possibly feel sadness!

Detached from space —

A pair of brown-green eyes appeared dark and mysterious under the moonlight.

Kairos tugged at his gold V-neck shirt, got up, walked to the table, and picked up a glass of whiskey that had been prepared beforehand.

He stood on the top floor of the building, looking at the night view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Young Master, the master suspects that you suffered mental trauma in the dungeon, so he has specially prepared ten bottles of high-grade mental nutrient solution for you."

Outside, a man's voice was respectful.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sir, you seem to have some curiosity about that young lady."

Kairos took a sip of whiskey, feeling the liquor dance on his tongue as it coolly flowed down his throat.

He glanced sideways, his eyes carrying a warning, "Tell him not to spy on my princess."

"Yes."

Kairos stared at the glass in front of him, and the reflections on the glass coalesced in his pupils to form the image of Su Yuan.

"Have Yu Qing come see me."

The man was taken aback, not expecting that the young master would remember Yu Qing's name.

The last time the young master inquired about Yu Qing was after she came out of the dungeon; he met with her alone once.

The reason seems to be because of one person.

"Yes"

-

Su Yuan opened her eyes again, and the things in the villa room came into view.

She felt a slight astringent sensation in her chest.

It must have been that Pei Zhao held her too tightly in the dungeon, and it hurt her.

She issued a stern warning: "This kind of slip-up must not be allowed to happen again."

The system muttered: "This is not something this system can decide."

"Knock knock knock—"

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

Su Yuan stretched her back and got up to open the door.

Qin Yu, wearing an orange and white jacket, coughed lightly and said, "I need to come out for a bit."

In the living room, Feng Yao leaned against the wall, An Lan sat next to the main sofa, and Qi Lin was in the center.

Su Yuan decided to choose the single sofa on the right.

"Everyone's here. Enough with the nonsense." An Lan looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. "The support team sent by the Federation arrived in Jinzhou two hours ago."

"The team leader is Qi Jing. The Federation's intention is that the support team will be responsible for all matters in Jinzhou City this time. Everyone should understand what this means."

"In addition, we need to go to the next mission location tomorrow. After Professor Song from the Pharmacy Academy extracted the residual toxins from the captain's poisoning incident, an antidote needs to be made according to the Federation's instructions. The antidote requires a special plant from the Red Mist Forest."

"The Federation's intention is for us to escort the people from the Pharmacy Academy to complete the collection."

"Our first team will have priority access to the completed potion."

Qin Yu and Feng Yao remained silent, and Qi Lin kept quiet as well.

Only Su Yuan suddenly raised her hand.

"I understand the new mission, but why should we give up our half-finished mission to this guy named Qi Jing just because he's here?"

Su Yuan didn't understand, and was even a little angry.

She even earns money from this task.

An Lan didn't shy away from the topic, saying, "Qi Jing's father is the Federal Minister."

She scoffed dismissively, "If the Crown Prince wants merit, who would dare to disrespect him?"

"The Federation does offer rewards for missions, but they're not much."

An Lan's tone was normal, as if this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

Qi Jing, surname Qi.

Su Yuan had a guess in her mind, but, since they were both from the Qi family, Qi Lin didn't seem like someone who relied on his family.

Song Shixiu's words suddenly flashed through her mind.

Abandoned son of the Qi family.

Is Qi Lin someone the Qi family doesn't want?

My head is so itchy, I need to get my brain working. Stop it now, what does all this have to do with her?

An Lan stood up. "Alright, everyone, rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

She suddenly looked at Su Yuan with a teasing look in her eyes, "Oh, by the way, Professor Song asked me to tell you that he really wants to see you."

An Lan's gaze lingered on Qi Lin for a moment before she smiled slightly.

Feng Yao followed closely behind and left.

Su Yuan also planned to leave.

"Su Yuan, please stay for a moment."

Su Yuan looked at Qin Yu, wondering what else he wanted to do by keeping her behind alone. Qin Yu gave her a look that said, "Good luck to you."

She obediently sat down: [System, is Qi Lin alright now?]

System: [The toxin codenamed S has been completely eliminated, host, please rest assured.]

"Does the captain have something to say?"

Qi Lin looked at Su Yuan seriously, "I know everything about what happened to you in the bizarre dungeon."

"Does the captain even visit when he's injured?" Su Yuan exaggeratedly covered her mouth, "I'm so touched."

"Su Yuan, be serious." Qi Lin said in a deep voice.

Su Yuan leaned back, crossed her arms, and adopted a languid posture.

"Captain, I'm being very serious."
