After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 68: Fulai Inn (III)

Views:

Nie Shuangshuang originally couldn't say that she disliked him, but this man was so irritating that Nie Shuangshuang would get angry as soon as she saw him.

But I never expected that after completing more than a hundred copies, I didn't see anyone who also thought that weapon cleaning was important. It turned out that this player who could make people angry to death actually had the same opinion as me.

Nie Shuangshuang instantly felt that his face became much cuter!

Nie Shuangshuang wanted to continue discussing with him about the cleaning and maintenance of weapons, but Lu Tonghe really couldn't help it.

He cleared his throat: "Um... um, is this really okay?"

Nie Shuangshuang's first reaction was "Is it okay to look in the mirror with the blade of a knife?", but when she turned around and saw Lu Tonghe looking at the candle in his hand, she suddenly realized.

"Oh, this one, sure."

"Ah?" Lu Tonghe asked a soul-searching question, "But didn't the NPC forbid us to take it?"

"If he says not to let me, then I won't let him. He knows about dungeons, do you? He's a player, are you a player? Do you clear the level or does he?" Nie Shuangshuang taught him, "Young man, you should be braver! You should be more active in thinking!"

“Taking candles from other empty guest rooms” obviously would not trigger the waiter’s death rule. Perhaps the copy rules did not expect that someone would have such, uh... courage

Nie Shuangshuang also wanted to share with him, for example, "You can test the NPC's bottom line first, and if it doesn't work, immediately kneel down and apologize" - this is also possible, the NPCs in the copy are very intelligent, they will analyze whether to take action based on the specific situation of the player who triggered the death rule.

To put it simply, it's a matter of treating each player differently to their situation. As long as the veteran players are not too bad, they can usually do well by playing around with the death rules.

Of course, violating the death rules does not mean that you should ignore the NPC all of a sudden, that would be a suicidal act.

Players will certainly not confront NPCs directly, but the stronger the players are, the more they will swing wildly on the NPC's bottom line, trying to maximize their benefits without triggering the death rule. This is the correct way to pass the level.

"That's right, we need to be a little braver." Jie Fangcheng also agreed, "At worst, we can just kill the NPC directly."

Nie Shuangshuang: “…”

Nie Shuangshuang looked at him: "Brother, aren't you a little too brave?"

Even Nie Shuangshuang decided to take the risk only after observing that the waiter NPC would not take action.

Why does this person seem to have decided not to kill the NPC after observing that the waiter NPC would not take action? ?

Jie Fangcheng looked bewildered: "Didn't you say that we should be braver and more active in thinking?"

"?? You have an active brain!! If it's not your brain, just escape from your head!!!" Nie Shuangshuang rolled her eyes and put away the knife.

Damn! This guy is still very irritating!!!

Nie Shuangshuang continued to unlock each empty room.

Boom—

The rain gradually got heavier.

Nie Shuangshuang glanced at the patio and said, "Why don't you go back to your room first and take care of your paper dolls. I can do it by myself."

Paper dolls are very fragile and must not be exposed to rain or well water, otherwise they will die.

Although the guide says that this kind of doll is very obedient and well-behaved, it is an NPC with a low IQ after all. Who knows if it will run out directly because no one is watching it. It is still raining outside, so it is better to keep an eye on it.

The reason why Nie Shuangshuang dared to come out was because she had a wealth of personal props. Even though these props were severely downgraded now, they could still deal with some small BOSSes in the first-level book.

For example... the resentful baby in the courtyard.

According to the guide, this thing is an evil ghost that comes to eat children every night.

The missing children in Fulai City will eventually drown in the water. They will gather in the patio of Fulai Inn along with the rain. Only candlelight can scare them.

But the light of a candle was only enough to scare them. By the third day, the resentful babies had become stronger, and a candle flame could no longer scare them.

If players want to avoid being harmed by this monster, they need to light another candle for themselves.

However, the boss of the evil shop only allows each player to redeem one candle per day. At that time, some players will choose to steal other people's candles, and some strong ones will choose to kill other people's paper dolls, forcing weaker players to depend on themselves. So on the third day, the difficulty of the dungeon will suddenly increase, and that is when this terrifying dungeon will show its fangs.

As for now, Nie Shuangshuang is strong and knows the strategy. She is used to taking the most dangerous parts, so she is used to letting the two of them go back first.

Lu Tonghe knew her style of doing things. He had been well taken care of by her when they went through the dungeon together before. After such a long time, Lu Tonghe felt that although he was not a very good player, he had some confidence in the first level dungeon.

"I have the lock-picking skill, I'll go with you." Although he really... had never been so arrogant and blatant as to disobey the NPC's words, Lu Tonghe still spoke up at the first opportunity.

Jie Fangcheng also spoke up immediately: "Then I'll go back."

Nie Shuangshuang glared at him again.

Jie Fangcheng spread his hands: "I don't have any lock picking skills, I can only kick the door."

Nie Shuangshuang was used to being mad at him, so she waved her hands helplessly after hearing him say that: "Go ahead!"

Jie Fangcheng retreated back to his room in two seconds without saying a word.

Lu Tonghe looked at the silhouette of his window.

After returning to the room, this person immediately lay down on the bed without making any noise, which vividly demonstrated what "lying flat" means.

"Who is that..." Lu Tonghe couldn't help but mutter.

Nie Shuangshuang didn't say anything, but just stood on each side of him and quickly opened the door to get the candle.

At this time, the sound of rain was mixed with thunder. When a flash of lightning passed by, Lu Tonghe, who had just held the candle in his hand, saw out of the corner of his eye that there seemed to be a small, short figure standing next to his shadow on the wall.

He turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind him.

illusion

No, although Lu Tonghe is just an ordinary player playing in the first-level book, he believes in his own prudence and intuition.

Something is watching me!

Lu Tonghe's heart was pounding. After quickly coming out of the room, he didn't hesitate and ran to find Nie Shuangshuang who was still checking into a room.

"Sister Shuang, I just saw a child standing next to my shadow, about this tall."

Nie Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, and asked reflexively: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"should not."

There is a doll figure standing next to the player's shadow. This scene is likely to appear in the later stages of the dungeon.

Because the image of this doll is the sign that the resentful baby in the well will target the player after it becomes powerful.

If the resentful baby becomes stronger, the decoration left by Nie Shuangshuang in the room will no longer be impressive.

Nie Shuangshuang's expression suddenly changed: "Go back to your room and see if your paper doll is still there."

The two of them quickly rushed back to Lu Tonghe's room and just stood at the door. Nie Shuangshuang's expression was particularly solemn.

The door... is open.

Because Lu Tonghe was going to come with her to get the candles from the empty guest room, Nie Shuangshuang also used props to set up some defensive props in his room.

These defensive items are not too powerful, but they should be enough to deal with the resentful babies in the courtyard on the first day.

When they opened the door, they saw that the paper doll on the bed had turned into pieces of paper and had been torn into pieces by something unknown.

These resentful babies will indeed become stronger as the paper dolls in the players' hands and the dolls brought by the guest NPCs die, but this shouldn't happen on the first day.

Why

This copy is very strange. The crucial NPC Tianshi disappeared, and the resentful baby in the courtyard increased its strength greatly on the first day. It doesn't look like a first-level copy with a 35% clearance rate.

But that's not what the Chaoyang Guild and Professional Alliance's strategies say!

"Something's wrong!" Nie Shuangshuang became alert instantly, "The copy has changed! We can't just listen to the NPC. Otherwise, since we went to the Tianshi's house just now, we didn't get the paper doll and couldn't enter the Fulai Inn. Then we would have died long ago!"

But why the change occurred and how to complete the copy after the change suddenly became confusing.

—But these things can be dealt with later.

Nie Shuangshuang pushed Lu Tonghe into the room without saying a word.

"Light the candles! Don't go out!!"

A candle can only cover one paper doll or one player. The doll or player covered by the candlelight will not be attacked by the resentful baby. This rule, which is the most basic setting of the copy, should not be changed.

Then Nie Shuangshuang turned around, flipped over the fence, and fell vertically towards the patio.

When she was about to fall into the well, she turned suddenly and landed at the mouth of the well.

Under the rain, Nie Shuangshuang stared straight at the dark sky, like a flame burning in the dark sea.

—She was indeed burning.

A large fiery red rose bloomed on her body, and the overlapping tongues of fire shot up two meters high, instantly igniting the entire patio. The flames flickered, almost covering the entire inn.

In such firelight, Lu Tonghe saw his own shadow again.

This time he clearly saw that there was indeed a small figure following his shadow. It seemed to be a chubby little baby, who was reaching out his hand to grab his trouser leg.

Lu Tonghe's hair stood on end - because he turned his head and did not see the little baby's body, he only saw a bloody hand that was about to touch him.

He immediately closed the door and lit a candle.

The dim candlelight enveloped him like an invisible protective film, isolating the hand from the candlelight.

what happened

Lu Tonghe had never seen such a first-level book before.

It is generally recognized that the first day of a copy is the safest time, but why does this copy seem to be killing them from the moment they enter

Something was wrong... something was really wrong.

—Something is wrong.

Nie Shuangshuang fanned with the fan in his hands.

When she was arguing with Fang Cheng, the poison needles shot out from the fan in her hand only caused the ground to collapse, but in the copy, the fan's own skills were activated.

[Item: Fire Fan - Rare (Broken)]

[Introduction: O owner of [Heart of Flame], is this the golden fan that you dropped, or the silver fan, or this Palm Fire Fan that can fan out endless lava fire? ]

A large ball of fiery red flame, like a fire dragon, shot out from her fan and roared towards the patio.

From the pitch-black sky came a sound like a baby crying.

Countless pairs of dark eyes opened and looked at her in the courtyard.

No... it's really not right.

This monster is too powerful!

As mentioned in the guide, the Heavenly Master controls these resentful infants, and she will refine them for her own use.

The refined resentful baby will be brought out of the patio by the Heavenly Master. One of the tricks to clear the dungeon is to find the bones of the Heavenly Master's drowned child. In this way, the Heavenly Master will treat the player as one of his own, and will help the player defeat the City Lord at the hundred-day banquet for the City Lord's son.

But what's happening now

The guide describes the situation in the patio in detail.

There are seven resentful babies in the well. Later on, these seven resentful babies will merge into one. At this time, you can use candles to lead the resentful babies out of the well, and then salvage their bodies.

There are too many resentful infants in the well now... It's as if the Heavenly Master had never appeared.

If the Heavenly Master doesn’t show up, how will the final battle be fought

Nie Shuangshuang used to not be afraid of the final BOSS of the first level, but now...

The fire dragon went out after circling twice in the water. From the corner of his eye, Nie Shuangshuang saw a small baby squatting next to his own shadow.

No, the copy has changed too much. The strength of the resentful baby is now a mystery, so we can't act rashly.

The flaming rose immediately closed, and the flames and firelight that were originally radiating outward converged, wrapping Nie Shuangshuang inside.

She exerted force on her feet and jumped up suddenly. She immediately jumped back to the second floor on the east side like a small flame. Then she opened the door of her room and went in. She pinched her fingers and a flame burned at her fingertips.

Nie Shuangshuang lit the candles.

In her room, the paper doll had disappeared, leaving only scraps of paper torn by something unknown.

The candlelight enveloped her, and Nie Shuangshuang sat on the bed.

She is not a person who is very good at thinking. When she was clearing the dungeon before, she liked to go through it with the president.

Outsiders only know that the president is a sunny, cheerful, honest and enthusiastic person, but people who have a good relationship with him know that the president is very thoughtful and has a good brain, and he can always discover things that ordinary people cannot.

You don't have to think when you follow the president. Just do what the president says.

Now, in order to let her see through this first-level book that was full of weirdness, Nie Shuangshuang could only start biting her fingers.

What was going on? Why wasn't the Heavenly Master here? Why were there so many resentful infants? Their strength was unclear, but it was definitely not the kind described in the guide that seven resentful infants could be easily dealt with by combining into one.

These resentful babies are densely packed, at least hundreds of them.

With so many, how could they get the remains of the Heavenly Master's children and gain the Heavenly Master's trust? Is the Heavenly Master still there? Where is he?

No... The most important question to think about now is how to get through tonight

No! The new players all listened to her. She told them to light the candles after midnight, and that one candle could only cover the paper doll.

Will the resentful baby target them as well tonight

At this moment, there was another loud thunder.

Boom—

And for some reason, Nie Shuangshuang seemed to hear a scream.

This scream definitely did not belong to the players, it was the scream of a child.

Can’t wait any longer!

Nie Shuangshuang held the fan in his hands again.

She and Lu Tonghe were not slow in their movements. They had already collected all the candles in the empty guest rooms in the small building to the west. There were a total of twenty-seven candles at this time.

Each player is given another one, and it would be difficult to use it until dawn.

At least we need to go to the empty rooms in the north and sweep around to ensure that every player has three sticks, so that they can barely get through the night.

They have to get through tonight first. At least they won't need candles during the day. Then they will have time to find the Taoist priest and think about how to pass this copy.

Nie Shuangshuang completely ignored the resentful baby that was waiting for her.

She also has a warning skill, although it is not very effective now due to the demotion. However, the resentful baby that is waiting for her is obviously not very strong, so she can easily defeat it.

Nie Shuangshuang opened the door, and then... was stunned.

On the second floor of the small building opposite, Jie Fangcheng, carrying a stick, yawned.

Nie Shuangshuang: “…”

Nie Shuangshuang yelled: "Why did you come out???"

What is this person doing in such a dangerous situation? ?

Jie Fangcheng was yelled at when he was halfway through yawning, so he turned his head to look at her.

Nie Shuangshuang has good eyesight, so she goes to look at his shadow first.

Fortunately, there was no resentful baby squatting at Jie Fangcheng's feet.

This kid!

"Go back!" Nie Shuangshuang kept walking.

Time was precious, so she could only roar first, then keep walking, and instantly catapulted to the small building in the west.

Out of the corner of her eye, Nie Shuangshuang saw Jie Fangcheng seemed to wave the baseball bat in his hand.

If Nie Shuangshuang turned her head to take a look at this time, she would find that the short resentful baby who was attached to her shadow like a thorn in the flesh was hit by a stick in the air and rolled over violently, then jumped out of the railing in fear and jumped into the well.

After Jie Fangcheng hit him with the stick, Nie Shuangshuang and his companions had already disappeared from the small building in the west.

“…Ah.” Jie Fangcheng also got up from the bed after hearing the noise outside.

Nie Shuangshuang's skills were activated too quickly and the battle ended too quickly. By the time Jie Fangcheng slowly opened the door and walked out, Nie Shuangshuang had already been ejected back into the room.

The child's body was swollen with blisters, giving him the appearance of a giant. His eyes were dark as he stared at him, and his fingers were trying to grab his clothes - Jie Fangcheng immediately dodged.

"Have you washed your hands? Uh," the child seemed to have been in the water for a long time, so the question seemed a bit strange, so Jie Fangcheng asked again, "Have you wiped them? If not, don't wipe them on others!"

The resentful baby didn't listen to him at all and continued to rub his fingers on him with excitement in his eyes.

"Meat... living meat... I want to eat—"

The next second, he was hit by Jie Fangcheng's stick and flew away. With a scream, he fell back into the patio in a parabola.

"Little brat." Jie Fangcheng was very dissatisfied, "Why are you pretending not to understand?"

At this time, Nie Shuangshuang went to sweep quickly. Jie Fangcheng looked at her with his hands on his back, took two steps forward reluctantly, then thought of something and turned back to the room.

In the room, his "paper doll" was lying on the bed, looking more like dead and quiet than asleep.

Jie Fangcheng was very dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, wake up."

The paper doll continued to play dead.

"No way, big brother? You're slacking off even with your own people?" Jie Fangcheng was shocked, and then he put himself in his shoes and thought that this seemed like something he could do.

But in the end, the paper doll opened its eyes reluctantly, and its white and black pupils looked at him.

"what?"

Jie Fangcheng pointed outside the door and said, "The naughty kid is starting to make trouble. Go take care of him."

The paper doll's expression turned painful: "Really? Big brother? You even screwed yourself?"

"What do you mean by myself and not myself?" Jie Fangcheng said very straightforwardly, "I am my true self and my ego, and the others are... secondary selves."

The paper doll gave him a thumbs up: "Absolutely!"

Then he stood up reluctantly.

Jie Fangcheng was prepared. He slapped the table and broke it into pieces, then handed him a table leg.

"Give."

The paper doll sighed, lifted the table leg onto its shoulders, and swaggered out.

Over there, Xie Fangcheng put the baseball bat on his shoulder and walked towards Nie Shuangshuang in a swagger.

.

First floor on the east side.

Compared to other players who basically kept their distance from the paper dolls in their arms after getting them, Xie Yutong was actually quite happy to have such a doll to accompany him.

Although this doll exudes weirdness in every way, it would be too scary if I was alone in the room.

"What's your name?" Xie Yutong couldn't help but talk to the paper doll.

But for a newcomer like him who has just entered the game, the power of his soul has not been strengthened by the game, and his soul power is very weak.

His doll would only look at him, its pair of big black eyes somewhat creepy.

Xie Yutong's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

It doesn’t matter, everyone has a paper doll like this.

The old player named Nie Shuangshuang didn't look like a pervert who enjoyed killing others. Xie Yutong stayed at home all year round and was a person with a strong intuition. He could feel that although Nie Shuangshuang looked like he had a bad temper, at the same time, he was also very warm, just like the sun.

She won't hurt herself.

There is one person among these people who will not harm him. For some reason, Xie Yutong has a very strange feeling... This person is different from ordinary players.

He seemed to come from, how should I put it... a higher level.

It’s that Jie Fangcheng.

"It's a weird name, isn't it?" Xie Yutong said, thinking for a moment, and talking to his paper doll, "Do you think... will I make it out of this dungeon alive? I heard that the survival rate in these horror dungeons is very low. Someone like me who is useless might die in the first dungeon, right? Like the cannon fodder in the comics?"

The doll still didn't speak, but just looked at him with wide eyes.

"That should be the case," Xie Yutong said, but he felt a little unwilling in his heart, "In the eyes of powerful people, small characters like us should be cannon fodder. But I am also... a relatively special person."

Although his own life was unremarkable, he still felt it was very interesting and different.

The paper doll reached out and touched his fingers.

The temperatureless fingers felt like paper, but Xie Yutong suddenly felt that he had a strange psychological connection with the strange doll in front of him.

He thought about his dogs and cats.

"Since you don't know your name, why don't you call yourself Xie? Let me think... How about you call yourself Xie Xiaotong?"

It’s just like raising cats and dogs, it’s quite interesting!

Xie Yutong felt that the paper doll seemed to smile as well.

The paper doll created by the power of his soul is also tainted with his own aura, and also has the same personality... and intuition as him.

After Xie Yutong came up with this name, he saw the paper doll in front of him lower its head.

He just smiled and said: "Hey, you think this name is good too, right?"

Boom—

Another thunderclap.

A flash of lightning flashed, illuminating every detail in the room like candlelight.

Xie Yutong's smile froze on his face.

He also slowly lowered his head like a doll.

Then, he looked into a pair of blood-red eyes.

Those eyes came from the head of a three or four-year-old child who had died a tragic death, as if he had been chopped in half and thrown into the water.

The head has no body—although the shadow is complete.

The child's eyes were fixed on him, with a smile on his face.

"Meat… "

Although he didn't hear any sound, Xie Yutong clearly saw the syllables coming out of his mouth that was split in half.

There was thunder outside the house, but Xie Yutong seemed to hear the sound of water drops from the child's body falling onto the bed.

His face was pale, and the paper doll seemed to be frightened just like him, sitting there motionless.

The child's eyes turned to the paper doll.

Eat this first... This is an appetizer.

The resentful baby happily stretched out his hand again, and the fingers on the shadow were about to grab the paper doll.

—Paper dolls are made of paper and are very fragile.

—Your name is Xie Xiaotong.

Just like raising a kitten or a puppy... I have a strange psychological connection with myself, as if I were another tiny self.

Xie Yutong didn't know where he got the strength from, and he grabbed the paper doll almost reflexively and pulled it behind him.

The resentful baby in front of him opened his eyes wide and looked at him with hatred.

"No!" The resentful baby stretched out his hand angrily, "Give it back to me! Dessert! I want dessert! I want to kill you—"

Xie Yutong's hands and feet were cold.

Is that it

After his death, he inexplicably came to a horror game, and he couldn't even make it through the first copy... Well, before in the real world, he was just an ordinary cannon fodder.

In a dungeon with such a low clearance rate, those who can clear it are all outstanding. He is a cowardly cannon fodder with no special skills. He really deserves to die...

But just as the resentful baby's hand was about to touch him, the paper doll he was protecting behind him suddenly "puffed" and doubled in height like a balloon man that was suddenly inflated.

The paper doll stretched out its hand and pressed it on the resentful baby's hand. With its tremendous force, it nailed the resentful baby's shadow hand firmly to the bed.

"Ahhh!!" the resentful baby screamed angrily.

The paper doll is the embodiment of Xie Yutong's consciousness. Just like a person's desire to survive, it will manifest unimaginable power at the moment of life and death.

But only for a moment.

But just a moment... was enough.

Just when the paper doll suddenly turned into a piece of paper because its soul power was exhausted, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Before Xie Yutong knew what was happening, a gust of wind blew by, and the resentful baby let out a series of screams of "Ahhhh", and then rolled out of the room without stopping as if it had seen a ghost, jumped into the well, and disappeared.

The well was filled with dumplings. One after another, resentful babies were pulled out of the room and jumped into the well with a plop.

The new players' vision had not been enhanced by the system. Even if it had been, Aunt Li and another veteran player who had completed two dungeons were not very strong and could not see anything. They could only see things with the help of lightning when it thundered. Most players did not see what was whipping the resentful baby, and those who saw it briefly had dazed faces.

"Table legs! Table legs! Sticks! Sticks! And a white thing that I can't tell what it is!!"

There was an old player who had completed the game more times and could see it after his eyesight was enhanced, but he was doubting his own eyes when he saw it.

"Is that... the doll of Jie Fangcheng?" The old player was shocked. "How is that possible?"

The doll was really fragile. He felt like it would break if he squeezed it.

After beating up the resentful baby, Jie Wawa originally wanted to go back. His lazy and slacking look was very similar to Jie Fangcheng.

But he moved his ears and sighed helplessly.

In the patio, the water was tumbling, as if something huge was about to come out of it.

If Nie Shuangshuang was here, she would be able to see after her flaming rose bloomed that the resentful babies were like pebbles, finally piling up in the well to form a huge monster with countless densely packed eyes.

“What a hassle.”

The monster's "hand" stretched out from the well, and it was trying hard to support its body to climb out of the well. It roared at the sky.

Nie Shuangshuang was already looting the candles on the second floor. Behind her was a long string of unwilling little resentful babies, but Nie Shuangshuang didn't have time to pay attention to them.

Three rooms left.

After the looting, quickly share it with other players, and ask them to light two candles. We’ll talk about it after we get through the day safely.

But when he heard the roar outside, Nie Shuangshuang's face changed and he immediately came out of the room.

Just as she came out, the roar turned into a scream.

“Hoo… Aa ...

The monster didn't even show its head, and fell directly in front of Nie Shuangshuang, causing a large splash of water in the sky.

Not only that... Nie Shuangshuang seemed to see the phantom of a black palace, which fell directly into the well from the sky like a suppression.

But the shadow of this palace is so unreal that it is hard to tell whether it really exists.

However, another thing appeared very clearly in front of Nie Shuangshuang.

A wet paper figure turned back into a palm-sized piece of paper and slowly floated into the well.

“Oh shit.”

Nie Shuangshuang turned around suddenly and saw Jie Fangcheng standing beside her for some reason, looking listless.

I'd rather die than do any more work. Is this really something I can do

After thinking about it, Jie Fangcheng fell silent again.

Nie Shuangshuang looked at the paper doll, then at him. For a moment, she didn't know what to ask first. A thousand words gathered at her lips: "Is that your paper doll?"

"Um."

Nie Shuangshuang: “…”

Nie Shuangshuang couldn't figure it out: "Why did it go down?"

Jie Fangcheng was annoyed: "He jumped into the well."

Nie Shuangshuang: “…”

Nie Shuangshuang asked again: "What are you doing here?"

"Come and help."

As soon as he appeared, the invisible resentful babies following Nie Shuangshuang all ran away, fearing that they would be caught.

The shadows of these resentful babies are still normal, but when they appear in front of people, there is often only one part. Jie Fangcheng can see them. Not only can he see them, but it is difficult for Jie Fangcheng to hit that kind of entity. However, he does not need to hit this kind of arrogant virtual entity with a stick. He only needs to wave it from a distance and the Yin energy will be transmitted. He can hit them with one hit.

It’s great that I don’t have to chase these little things.

He was an expert at stick skills and the pain of his blows was extremely severe. The news of the beating spread among the two groups of resentful babies.

After all, Nie Shuangshuang has completed the game so many times, so she still has some vision.

She asked, "The one in the well went down. Did you shoot him?"

"Is that so?" The paper doll was also his, so it could be considered that he hit it.

Nie Shuangshuang was silent for a moment.

Jie Fangcheng thought she didn't believe it. After all, he had been disbelieved so many times that he was kind of used to it.

The next second, Nie Shuangshuang looked up suddenly: "Boss! Help me! I don't understand this book!"

"Ah?" Jie Fangcheng was stunned for a moment, touched his nose, and was still a little bit unbelieving, "You believe it?"

Nie Shuangshuang is truly extraordinary.

"I believe it." Nie Shuangshuang fully demonstrated her greatest advantage of having completed hundreds of dungeons. "Did I complete these dungeons so many times for nothing? If something is unusual, there must be an unusual person! Look at you!"

Nie Shuangshuang looked at him and felt his irritating temperament... What irritating temperament! This is called a unique style!

This kind of idle character who just eats and waits for death... that's called the calmness and composure after having seen a lot of things!

As for the baseball bat on the shoulder... well, it's unique!

“Boss!” Nie Shuangshuang’s eyes immediately lit up. “Boss, help me pass this level! This dungeon is too difficult! I can’t get through it!”

Jie Fangcheng was almost used to being yelled at by her, but he felt a little uncomfortable when she suddenly called him "boss".

"Uh... uh," Jie Fangcheng was unusually reserved, "Isn't there a guide for this instance?"

Nie Shuangshuang immediately opened the guide and showed it to him.

"Sir, the times have changed, and the strategy can't keep up with the changes!" Nie Shuangshuang said, "Look at this place."

Nie Shuangshuang pointed out that the players should go to the Heavenly Master on the first day, and the Heavenly Master gave the players dolls: "The Heavenly Master is gone, and I got the doll myself, and then I followed the strategy of Chaoyang Union. But normally there should be a Heavenly Master here. You see, if there is no Heavenly Master, the players who come in have no strategy, and this dungeon will be a dead end from the start. But this game will not have a 100% dead end, especially in the first level dungeon where there is a high probability of a team of newcomers. This is impossible!"

"Oh." Jie Fangcheng nodded, feeling that this statement sounded familiar.

“Now, this Heavenly Master who is supposed to appear… look here.” She even used “you”.

Jie Fangcheng interrupted quickly: "No, no, no, you, you, you can do it."

This girl really has a very changeable personality. When she yells at people it’s very natural, but now... well, she looks a bit like a bootlicker, but that’s also very natural!

Nie Shuangshuang readily agreed: "Okay, okay, you, you, you. Look, here."

She flipped two pages of the guide and came to the part about the resentful baby.

"The resentful infants in the courtyard are not very strong. Most of these monsters will be refined by the Heavenly Master, and only seven small ones will remain. These seven will merge like the Calabash Brothers, and I should be able to deal with them after the fusion, but I just saw that there are at least hundreds of them. Hundreds! How can I deal with them? Why doesn't the Heavenly Master refine them?"

"Is the Taoist priest slacking off?" Jie Fangcheng said, thinking from his perspective.

Nie Shuangshuang's forehead jumped, and he silently said "This is a big deal", pretending not to hear: "Anyway, the strategy is wrong. So after listening to this, do you have any new ideas for passing the level?"

Jie Fangcheng asked back: "How do you originally clear this instance?"

It completely exposed the reality that he hadn't studied any strategy at all.

Nie Shuangshuang held back for a moment, and explained in a slow and gentle voice: "This is how the dungeon ends. The city lord is the strongest, and the Heavenly Master is on our side. She will have a big fight with the city lord during the Hundred Days Banquet, and we players just need to watch the show from the sidelines, and the dungeon will be cleared."

"Oh." Jie Fangcheng nodded, "Then I actually have an idea for passing the level."

"What?"

"During the Hundred Days Banquet, I had a big fight with the City Lord, and you players just watched the show from the sidelines, and then the dungeon was cleared." Jie Fangcheng said sincerely.

Nie Shuangshuang: “…”

She couldn't help but: "Do you know what the city lord's strength is?"

"have no idea."

"Then just say you want to fight him?" Nie Shuangshuang's voice became higher.

She was just trying to show some courtesy to the boss, showing some symbolic flattery, but she still had a bad temper and her voice was very loud.

Jie Fangcheng smiled and said, "Let's give it a try."

"???" Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help herself, she roared, "Brother, wake up! This is a horror copy!! You still want to try? How are you going to try? What if you fail? Are we all going to die together?!"

"Then let's do this," Jie Fangcheng suggested to her, "Tomorrow I will go and have a big fight with the city lord and just beat him to death. Isn't that the end of it?"

Seeing that Nie Shuangshuang was about to roar again, Jie Fangcheng hurriedly spoke up: "But this copy seems a bit similar to the copy I cleared."

"Ah?" Nie Shuangshuang exclaimed "ah" very loudly.

"In the first dungeon I cleared, the key NPC was gone. Someone told me that the key NPC might have been taken out of the dungeon," said Jie Fangcheng.
