Maintaining a state of tension for extended periods can easily lead to a mental breakdown. Giants are already irritable, and if they don't sleep well, their temper becomes even worse, leading to a stronger urge to fight—a vicious cycle.

Moreover, sleep is a basic necessity; not sleeping is definitely not an option.

It's similar with the ghosts. Although Ningbao doesn't know what the weakened period is yet because she doesn't interact much with ghosts, this rule is definitely a measure to ensure the survival of the race.

Of course, these two rules alone have many loopholes, but there is actually a whole system that supports them. It's just that Ning Bao and Wen Ya didn't delve into it, because reasoning is too mentally taxing.

Moreover, it's not easy for them to gather information. They can't speak, so they can only listen to gossip, and what they hear is purely a matter of luck. If they could speak human language, these giants would probably immediately categorize them from cute little creatures into monsters.

Oh, right, Ningbao made another huge discovery: not every ghost looks so scary. Some are beautiful or cute, and some are even humanoid. After all, ghosts are divided into ghosts and monsters. Ghosts, of course, can be anything.

Ning Bao once saw a beautiful older sister. She wasn't as tall as a giant, only about 1.7 meters, and clearly wasn't a giant. Her hair and skin were white, almost transparently white. Moreover, even though it wasn't raining, she was holding a bright red oil-paper umbrella.

Ningbao was a bit of a sucker for pretty faces, so she immediately sidled up to her. The older woman even squatted down and patted her head, but the warmth of her hand was so cold that even through the thick fur, Ningbao shivered.

The temperature was so cold, it was exactly the same as Ghost Fang's.

Because Guiya pinched Ningbao's face too hard, it caused Ningbao a little psychological trauma, so the little husky immediately backed away. It's true she likes things to look good, but that's without any other influencing factors. Who doesn't like things to look good? But if there's any danger, Ningbao doesn't like it.

However, the older sister didn't do anything to Ningbao; instead, she gave Ningbao a cute rabbit doll.

Mumu said that you shouldn't take things from strangers. Ningbao is an obedient child, so she wanted to return the rabbit doll to the pretty older sister. But in the blink of an eye, the pretty older sister had disappeared. If the doll hadn't been there, she would have thought she was hallucinating again.

Afterwards, Wenya checked the doll and didn't think there was anything strange about it. However, just to be on the safe side, Wenya still suggested throwing away anything of unknown origin to avoid some melodramatic plot twists like in the movies.

Ningbao is not yet associated with the word "rebellious," so of course she didn't have any objections and immediately tried to throw away the rabbit doll.

As for why the doll is still with Ningbao, it's because when Ningbao just threw the doll away, Bai Gao's system information, which was definitely delayed, showed that the rabbit doll was a key item, a ticket to some core area.

Ningbao, who just threw away her rabbit plushie: ...

Although she didn't know what the core area was, the word "core" sounded very important. Ningbao had no choice but to whine and search. Luckily, she was a puppy now, with a very keen nose, and she followed the scent all the way there, the whole process taking only a short time…

Five hours!

The poor child was almost exhausted, how could she have thrown it so perfectly? Everything seemed to be in her favor, and she just happened to take the doll far away. As a result, she ate three extra bowls of rice for dinner that night, and then went straight to sleep. And because she was so tired, Ningbao's snoring was deafening, waking Wenya quite a bit.

The good news is that Mumu thoughtfully provided earplugs; the bad news is that the earplugs didn't have very good noise isolation.

Wenya later learned that the earplugs were ineffective because they were a magical artifact specially crafted by Mumu to counter sonic attacks. Simply put, they required energy to activate. Wenya had used them like ordinary earplugs, inputting virtually no energy, so it would have been a miracle if they had worked.

The next day, after learning the truth, Wenya, sporting huge dark circles under her eyes, practically burst into tears.

Rewind to the present. Although Ning Bao and Wen Ya spent so much time, they only managed to find out two rules that led to instant death, and they still only had a superficial understanding of the entire rule system.

But it's alright. As long as the instant-death rule isn't violated, violating other rules will at most mean the enemy gets stronger, or several sides are weakened. With the pile of talismans and array plates crafted by Mu Mu as a backup, Wen Ya isn't worried.

She and Ning Bao do have weaknesses, but they have breath-holding talismans for underwater combat, mind-clearing talismans for encountering illusions, explosive and lightning-fire talismans for ranged attacks, and speed-up talismans even if they're outmatched and need to escape. In addition, they have a bunch of array plates with various effects.

At times like these, Wenya would sigh, "Mumu really thought of everything." The only downside was that the quantity was still too small.

This world is certainly enough, but Ningbao might not be able to summon Mumu in the next world. If all the supplies Mumu prepared for Ningbao are used up at once, Ningbao might suffer in the future.

So even if you have the confidence, it's better not to use it if you can avoid it.

"Mission complete. Special items detected in the host. Would you like to activate the special instance: Core Area?"

Those two instant-death rules are of course rules, and together with the first rule, Ning Bao and the others have already completed the first task in the White Cake System.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

At this moment, Bai Gao stared intently at the words appearing on the task panel, reading them aloud to Ning Bao and Wen Ya, sentence by sentence. He read very slowly, a pace that usually creates a sense of pressure. But Bai Gao wasn't trying to intimidate Ning Bao; he simply wasn't familiar with some of the words, so sometimes he even spoke them one by one.

Finally, after reading all the words, Bai Gao breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although he was a high-ranking official, his actual level of education was not as high as Ning Bao's. Recognizing characters was really a bit difficult for him.

"Dungeon? What dungeon?"

These are two real worlds, and not worlds created by games, so how come there are things like dungeons?

Wenya expressed her doubts about this.

Bai Gao shook his head in confusion, indicating that he didn't know either.
