Chapter 96 Cleansing

In mandatory missions, the time in the instance is not synchronized with reality, but fluctuates. However, the total duration generally does not exceed three days.

Although Bai Chen entered the instance earlier than Yuan Qing, Yuan Qing actually came out earlier than him.

Compared to the dire situation on his side, the other party's forced mission this time was a standard survival dungeon. The main theme was a survival guide under an unknown apocalypse, requiring them to survive for seven days in a world where humanity had completely perished.

"----Then what?"

Unable to resist, Bai Chen asked.

"Then I survived for seven days and came back."

Yuan Qing glanced at him and continued drying her hair with the hairdryer.

"Because I hadn't showered for seven days, the first thing I did when I got back was take a shower. Is that a problem?"

"Since you're not going to go into the details, why did you go through all that trouble with the backstory?"

Speechless, Bai Chen rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I'd love to."

'

'

"And how long are you planning to stay in my room?"

Yuan Qing put down the hairdryer and turned to look at him.

"Or are you actually waiting for me to bandage and treat your wound?"

"There's no need for that—never mind, let's discuss some things tomorrow."

Looking down at himself, Bai Chen stood up from the sofa.

The other party seemed to genuinely intend to stay here for an extended period. He remembered that the room was very simple before, with only a bed and a table. But now, the room had clearly undergone a careful renovation, with many pieces of furniture added and the main color scheme adjusted to a sky blue hue, making it look quite comfortable.

Although he didn't know why the other party insisted on staying in the player city and refusing to return to reality, since the other party didn't take the initiative to speak, he simply didn't bother to ask.

After closing the door behind him, Bai Chen arrived at the front hall of the prop shop. It was nighttime, and the lights in the front hall were off, but because it was close to the square, it looked quite lively outside.

Just as Bai Chen was pondering whether he should go back to reality, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep, several friend requests appeared in front of him as if they had been pre-arranged.

【Knife-cut noodles】, 【Another bowl】, 【Door panel】, 【Qing ritual】, 【Quantum self-braking】, 【Karmic Dream】 — Except for the last one, Karmic Dream, whose meaning is somewhat unclear, almost all the teammates in this dungeon are here.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Chen decided not to accept their friend requests and sent them all a message.

【Dust White】: Unlocked with 500 friend slots.

After sending the message to the group, Bai Chen didn't check the replies. Instead, he opened the system auction house and anonymously listed an item at lightning speed.

[System notification: You intend to list the item "Langya Staff" in the system auction house, with a starting price of 5000 game coins and an auction duration of one day. Confirm?]

Although he received a reward of 30,000 game coins in this mandatory mission, it wasn't even enough to recoup his expenses in the dungeon.

Not to mention the nearly 10,000 game coins he spent opening the [Wandering Corridor] twice, the cost of using Void Alchemy to deal with his teammates in the dungeon was an astronomical figure, almost emptying his savings.

[Pharmacopoeia] This talent is useful, but it's also incredibly expensive. If he hadn't earned some money from opening a shop, it wouldn't have been enough to support this talent.

Putting aside the fact that he basically saved them all during the ritual, and he has already suffered so much loss, what's wrong with taking a piece of the other side's equipment to make up for it and recover some health?

Uh—could the other party really be here to ask for their equipment back?

Bai Chen looked at the two transfer notifications that popped up one after another with a subtle expression.

Less than a minute after he sent the message to his friends list, Qing Shiyi and Quantum Self-Shock promptly transferred money to him and sent him another friend request.

After a moment's thought, considering that the Langya Staff was no longer in his hands and that there was no way to prove anything, Bai Chen accepted the friend requests from the two people.

[Quantum Self-Braking]: Experts, please help!!!

[Quantum Self-Binding]: Ever since I came back from the dungeon, I've been having diarrhea non-stop, and medicine isn't helping. What's going on?

Is diarrhea a side effect?

Upon seeing the message from the other party, Bai Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Previously, he had used a lot of drugs on the other party, including the [Zombie Potion] and the [Amplification Potion] which could temporarily boost attributes.

He had studied the [Zombie Potion] all night and was fairly confident in it, but the [Amplification Potion] was basically something he made by hand in half an hour, with unknown and uncontrollable side effects.

He had initially thought he had gotten lucky and successfully concocted a new potion on his own when he saw that the other party was alright, but now it seemed that there was still a long way to go.

After sending a few simple messages to explain, Bai Chen glanced at the dots in the other party's reply and then looked at the message sent by Qing Shiyi.

[Qing Shiyi]: Thank you for your help with the dungeon stuff.

[Qing Ritual]: By the way, are you currently in the Player City?

[Qing Ritual]: My president has something to discuss with you.

"President—Karemu?"

Looking at the private messages in front of him, Bai Chen stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He was referring to when he first encountered that demon spirit, but if it was through the Seishi ritual, that would be much easier to understand. He remembered that the Langya Staff seemed to have originated from this guild master's hands—

As if he had just thought of something, Bai Chen opened the auction house interface, and sure enough, the buyer of the [Family Portrait] that he had anonymously put up for auction was none other than Huo Lingmeng.

After glancing down at his current attire and sending a message to Qing Shiyi, Bai Chen decisively logged off.

He had already been stabbed more than a dozen times. Although the wounds had been barely healed, all the bloodstains were still on his clothes. Given his appearance, it's no wonder that Yuan Qing was so disgusted with him before—he would have done the same if he were in his shoes.

With a flash of white light, Bai Chen's body appeared in the dark and deserted living room of the villa.

"Haven't they come back yet?————"

Bai Chen glanced around and frowned slightly.

To be honest, he was a little worried about Yin Hongxiao's situation.

"I wonder when she entered the instance—she'll probably be back soon?"

While pondering this in his mind, Bai Chen first went back to his room to get some clothes, and then went straight into the bathroom.

Aside from Yin Hongxiao, if we consider the timeline, if Su Qun hadn't failed in the novice trials, then that guy should be ————————————

I've already left, and I don't know how the other person is doing now.

However, it's just a beginner's trial. As long as the opponent doesn't intentionally cause trouble in the dungeon, and there aren't any overly reckless players in the team, given their previous experience of soloing [Wandering in the Corridor], passing the beginner's trial should be quite smooth.

----perhaps.
