Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"Old Gu, the third floor looks like the staff dormitory!" Chu Ling pointed to a yellowed sign on the corridor wall. The words "Staff dormitory, non-staff members prohibited from entering" were blurry but still legible.

"Let's see if there are any weapons we can use."

Gu Ye scanned the corridor but didn't detect any monster's presence. He walked straight to the nearest room, 302, and gently turned the doorknob.

Upon entering the room, a pungent smell of smoke hit them, and the two quickly covered their noses.

"This smells even worse than the pipes my grandpa used to smoke," Chu Ling couldn't help but complain. The room contained only a metal-framed bed covered with blackened bedding and a wooden wardrobe with peeling paint. The two endured the pungent smell and began searching the bed and wardrobe.

Gu Ye searched the bed and under the bed, but found nothing except for the moldy quilt.

"Old Gu, we found something good." Chu Ling's voice suddenly rang out, tinged with excitement. He pulled an old notebook from deep inside the wardrobe, clutching a gleaming cleaver in his hand.

"This cleaver is much longer than normal, and it's also much heavier." Chu Ling weighed the cleaver in her hand. The blade was thick and the edge was sharp, with some dark red marks that hadn't been cleaned off.

He put down the cleaver, picked up the notebook and started browsing. Gu Ye leaned closer and saw the crooked handwriting on the first page before realizing that it was actually a diary.

Gu Ye found it a bit strange that the monster could even write a diary.

[October 20th, cloudy. It ate all the marine life. Chef Larson asked me to buy fresh seafood, which is annoying, especially since it's not my responsibility...]

[November 5th, rain. I got into a fight with my apprentice, Sawyer. He actually tried to take my place as the butcher. If another apprentice, Wood, hadn't held me back, it wouldn't have been as simple as losing an arm.]

[December 8th, Sunny. As a butcher, my cleaver is my lifeblood. I don't know who stole it. If I catch them, I'll feed them the cleaver. Now I only have a cleaver left, and it's really awkward to use it to cut meat.]

January 1st, fog. He has arrived, and everyone in the restaurant must get moving to serve Him.

January 10th, hazy. I saw Chef Larson put what He had bestowed upon him into the safe in his room. I'm so curious to know what it is...

[January 15th, Thunder. A big thing happened today: He split in two, and the two of Him started fighting each other. None of us cooks dared to move; we could only wait for them to finish fighting.]

Then it appeared, and it helped one of Him.......】.......

The diary makes no mention of the subsequent battles, leading Gu Ye to believe that Yuri was perhaps afraid to record them. The diary's later entries consist of everyday trivia, with no further mention of Him or It.

Chu Ling picked up the cleaver and brandished it a couple of times: "So the cleaver and the kitchen knife both belong to Yuri, the chopping board master. Now we have a means of attack too."

Chu Ling disdainfully tossed aside the table leg she was holding; it still bore the blood of the [Clawed Man]. The two searched the room again, ultimately finding only the diary and a cleaver.

"Click!"

"Apprentice Sawyer, look! I've caught two little mice." The door suddenly opened, and a [Clawed Man] poked its head out, grinning maliciously at the shadows behind it. Its eyes, fixed on Gu Ye and the others, held undisguised greed.

Sawyer, leaning against the wall outside the door, rolled his rotting eyes. When he saw the cleaver in Chu Ling's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his rotting cheeks twitched slightly, as if he were feeling the excruciating pain of his arm being chopped off years ago.

Sawyer's eyes sharpened.

Half of his face was already peeled away, revealing stark white bone. He coldly shouted at the [Clawed Man], "Seize them!"

Although he said that to the [Clawed Man], he silently stepped back, making way for Gu Ye and the others.

The Clawed Man grinned menacingly, preparing to launch an attack, but Chu Ling was faster.

"Take this!"

Chu Ling, wielding a cleaver, slashed at the [Clawed Man] blocking the doorway, but it hastily extended its sharp claws to block her. The cleaver, used by Yuri, the butcher, as his kitchen utensil, chopped countless bones and monsters every day; if it were anything less than rudimentary, how could Yuri possibly be competent for the job?

The cleaver effortlessly severed the claws of the [Clawed Man]. Had it not retreated slightly, it might have been cleaved in two by Chu Ling.

Seeing that his first strike hadn't been very effective, and knowing the terrifying regenerative ability of the [Clawed Man], Chu Ling kicked it hard into the corridor.

"Old Gu, let's go!"

As Chu Ling shouted, she held up a cleaver and blocked the doorway, covering Gu Ye's escape. The two filed out and ran straight towards the stairwell, with Gu Ye leading the way and Chu Ling following behind, constantly alert to any movement behind them.

Chu Ling paid special attention to Sawyer, who remained in the same spot, but saw that he was still leaning against the corridor, just staring in the direction they had left, without any intention of chasing after them.

As Sawyer watched them disappear down the stairs, a fleeting look of joy crossed his eyes.

"Why didn't you help!" The Clawed Man, who had gotten up, immediately questioned him, his tone full of anger. His newly grown claws pointed at Sawyer, as if he would not give up until he got an answer.

"Whoosh~"

A flash of cold light, and the arm that the [Clawed Man] was pointing at was twisted off by Sawyer and held in his hand:

"This way, I feel more comfortable looking at it."

"Ah!" The Clawed Man screamed, clutching his bleeding arm, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Sawyer.

Sawyer grabbed its arm and started gnawing on it, sneering, "You piece of trash, what right do you have to question me?"

The Clawed Man dared not utter a word and could only watch Sawyer turn and leave.

"Pah!"

"What a piece of trash!" Sawyer casually tossed the [Clawed Man's] arm to the ground, gradually disappearing from its sight. It desperately suppressed its twitching eyelids, afraid that it would go berserk and throw its life away.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" It slammed its fist into the wall.

.......

"Phew!" The two men, still somewhat shaken, returned to the private room.

"That monster named Sawyer was a bronze level eight. If he hadn't refrained from attacking, we might still be stuck there," Chu Ling said, barely managing to catch her breath after a while, still shaken.

"Yuri, who could cut off one of his arms, might be a Silver-level monster." Gu Ye shook the diary in his hand, his tone solemn.

Chu Ling looked utterly dejected. According to the information Yan Shuangling provided, this card domain was a mid-level trial domain. But with monsters resembling silver-level monsters appearing, how could it only be a trial-level card domain?

Gu Ye raised his hand and looked at his watch. It had been exactly ten minutes from when they left until they returned.

"Why haven't they come back yet?" Gu Ye's eyes revealed his worry. He decided to wait another minute, and if they still hadn't returned, he would go look for them.

A moment later, there was another knock on the door of the private room. Chu Ling, holding a cleaver, walked warily to the door and asked:

"who!"

"Me!" Upon hearing Ye Suxuan's voice, Chu Ling asked, "The code?"

After receiving the correct code, Chu Ling opened the door and welcomed them in.

Seeing that the three of them were very excited, Gu Ye asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

The three sat in chairs, and upon hearing Gu Ye's question, Li San Niang and Ye Su Xuan simultaneously looked at Yan Shuang Ling in the middle.

Without saying a word, she stretched out her hand, and a card appeared in her palm.

"How did you get the Blood Core?" Chu Ling stared at the card in her hand, very curious. Over the next few minutes, Ye Suxuan explained to the two of them how they had managed to snag an injured monster.
