Chapter 39: The Imperial City That Never Sleeps 1

Views:

In an 11-story townhouse.

Covered in scars, Cha Gong took the sightseeing train back to his apartment in the central space.

He twisted the door open and tiredly took off his shoes and socks. When he was about to enter the bathroom, he suddenly heard very light footsteps behind him, and then something sharp pressed against his back.

Feeling the coolness from the sharp weapon, Cha Gong was so scared that he immediately straightened his back.

"Xiao Cha, you still remembered to come back? Do you still remember me?" A hoarse and heavy voice of a middle-aged man sounded behind Cha Gong. This person's voice was very heavy, like a hammer hitting the heart again and again, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Upon hearing this, Cha Gong instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He forgot that no one could forget him.

"Brother Liang, why are you here?" Cha Gong slowly raised his hands and laughed ingratiatingly, "You must be tired after coming to the 11th floor, why don't you come into the house and talk slowly?"

Brother Liang slowly put away his dagger, then casually pushed Cha Gong forward and said coldly: "Stinky boy, Mr. Lin asked you to return to the world and let me take you to see him."

Cha Gong was pushed by him and staggered, almost falling on his face.

He hurriedly held onto the wall beside him to steady himself, and stood up with weak legs and feet, smiling: "Boss Lin wants to see me? Brother Liang, can you tell me some news?"

"Young Master Lin is dead." Brother Liang glanced at him, narrowed one eye, and said in a deep voice.

Because he had a long, crescent-shaped scar on his face, when he squinted his eyes, half of his face was distorted, making him look particularly violent.

However, compared to Brother Liang's appearance, his words are even more terrifying.

"W-what? The young master... is dead?!" Upon hearing this shocking news, Zha Gong was struck by lightning and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Brother Liang frowned and looked at him, not replying for a long time.

"How could the young master die in the dungeon?" Cha Gong said in disbelief, "Doesn't he have a pass?"

Looking at Cha Gong's innocent look, Brother Liang sneered: "His death is related to your partner."

"My partner?" Cha Gong slowly widened his eyes.

One year in the reincarnation hell is equal to one day in the central space. After seven days in the central space, it means he has spent seven years in the reincarnation hell. Brother Liang suddenly mentioned the word "object", and Cha Gong couldn't remember who his object was for a moment.

Cha Gong thought for a while and suddenly said in a lost voice: "Xia, Xia Qi?"

How is it possible... How could Xia Qi meet the young master again

Also, how could the young master’s death be related to Xia Qi

In a blink of an eye, seven days in the central space and seven years in the reincarnation hell passed. His partner might have killed his mistress, which made Cha Gong feel completely confused and unable to adapt to the rhythm of the central space at all.

"Stop talking so much, Mr. Lin still has a task for you."

Brother Liang grabbed his arm, kicked the door open, and pushed Cha Gong, who was frightened like a dead dog, out the door.

Xia Qi once again pulled himself out of the copy.

When he arrived at a dark space, a familiar system voice sounded, and the system began to settle the copy for him.

Use clearance items to clear the game: If you successfully clear the advanced dungeon within the last minute of the game, the reward time will be reduced to 10%.

Reward time (has been lowered): 1 day of survival in the present world and 2 days of survival in the central world.

Current total time: 2 days of survival in the present world and 2 days of survival in the central world.

Since he always delayed clearing each copy until the last minute, Xia Qi had very little time to survive in the central space.

But Xia Qi didn't care, as long as he had time to rest.

Then, the system started to reward him again.

Item name: Mermaid's Hair (bound)

Level: No level

Other notes: You are married to each other, and you love each other without a doubt! This is your wedding commemoration, don't think of selling it to others!

Xia Qi: “…”

Looking at the hair that had turned silver in his system backpack, Xia Qi sighed with regret.

Originally, he was planning to sell the hair to other players, but in the blink of an eye, the hair became a bound item.

This game must be trying to mess with him.

Item Name: Mermaid's Scales (bound)

Level: No level

Other notes: Every scale that falls off is in the shape of love for you! This is a souvenir of your sleeping together, and you can't even think of selling it to anyone else!

Xia Qi: “…”

Xia Qi: "Does the system backpack have a destroy function?"

Sorry, the props in the game cannot be destroyed!

Xia Qi's eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I should throw it away, right?"

Dear, bound items cannot be discarded, so we recommend that you keep them carefully.

Xia Qi: “…”

Xia Qi silently stretched out his fingers and dragged the mermaid's hair and scales to the bottom two compartments of the system backpack, placing them together with Queen Mary's wedding dress and red diamond wedding ring to collect dust.

After settling the dungeon rewards, the system began to give him rewards for killing the boss.

Xia Qi’s reward for killing the boss of the “Blue Sea Mermaid Pearl” copy: 20,000 sin coins and trident.

Current Sin Coins: 29000

The sudden appearance of the trident surprised Xia Qi a little. He quickly reached out and opened the system panel and began to read the introduction of the trident.

Item name: Trident (bound).

Effect: Listen, the sound of the sea crying! A little sadness has great power, your tears can break the heart of the Sea King. As long as you cry, the Sea King will send marine creatures to avenge you.

Level: lv1.

Other notes: You are Aquaman's man! Please note that you are not Aquaman, but Aquaman's man!

Xia Qi: “…”

Xia Qi looked down at the trident in his hand and wondered, would the fish taste better if grilled with the trident

Reward settlement is completed!

Heading to Central Space...

When he opened his eyes again and returned to the central space, Xia Qi was back on the top platform.

He was wearing the casual clothes he had taken out of the central space closet last time. The casual clothes, which had been tattered, were now intact again.

This time, Xia Qi still did not choose to return to the real world, but continued to prepare to pass the level in the central space.

So he asked the system to call the train.

Please wait a moment, the 13th floor travel train is about to arrive.

This time, the train that came to pick up Xia Qi was heading to the 13th floor. The familiar open-air sightseeing train came to him again.

Before the train door was fully opened, a passionate and obscene laugh rang out from inside the train: "Hey, survivor No. 5201314, it's you again!"

Xia Qi looked up and saw that gay purple-haired man No. 250 was sitting on the train again.

How come they are so destined to each other

Seeing Xia Qi still in a daze, the purple-haired man waved at him: "Come up quickly!"

Xia Qi stepped into the train. When he entered the door, he found that the woman with red curly hair named No. 438 was also there.

However, the red-haired girl seemed to have no interest in them at all. She looked out the window coldly and had no intention of coming up to talk to them.

These two people took the same train with him last time and became his neighbors in the townhouse. Unexpectedly, this time, they would take the same train again.

"How does it feel to be in the advanced copy? It's exciting, right?" said the purple-haired man with a smile.

Since they had met last time, Xia Qi was not as cold as when he first came, and replied: "It's OK."

Unexpectedly, Xia Qi was finally willing to speak. The purple-haired gay man immediately became interested and said to him with a smile: "Then why don't you go back to the real world? Isn't it good to go back and relax?"

"I still need to prepare some supplies in the central space." Xia Qi glanced at the scenery outside the train.

Just like the last time, when he passed the 1st and 2nd floors, he saw the people in the cages torturing themselves crazily. Some were banging their heads against the wall, and others were biting the iron bars with their teeth. Everyone looked like they were in a state of collapse, wanting to die but unable to.

"Then you've found the right person." The purple-haired man whistled, "I have a lot of tradable items on me. Are you interested in taking a look? If you still think it's not enough, then you can only go to the space trading station to buy supplies."

"Space trading station?" Xia Qi asked puzzledly.

The purple-haired man was about to say something when the red-haired woman who was looking out the window suddenly snorted, "Humph, why are you going to a space trading station? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

"Hey, you bitch, you finally spoke." The purple-haired man said with a smile.

The red-haired woman glared at the purple-haired man viciously, then looked at Xia Qi and said calmly: "Don't go to crowded places until you reach the 14th floor or have absolute strength."

"How do you know he's not strong? I think he's very capable." The purple-haired man continued to refute with a smile.

"Hmph!" The red-haired girl looked at the purple-haired man with contempt, snorted again, and stopped talking.

Xia Qi pondered for a moment. It sounded like the space station was a busy place, and there was a high chance he would run into other players.

Now, he is not yet fully familiar with the world of sin games, and he is indeed not suitable to show up in crowded places.

While the train was still there, Xia Qi said to the purple-haired man, "Let me take a look at the props on you first."

The purple-haired man gave Xia Qi a sly look.

The reason why Xia Qi proposed the transaction on the train was obviously to let the outspoken red-haired woman be a witness so that he couldn't do anything to cheat others.

"What do you want?" asked the purple-haired man.

Xia Qi thought for a moment and replied, "Medicine, food, or cooking utensils for healing."

"Oh, you're quite good at it, but you've found the right person. I have a lot of good treasures."

The purple-haired man began to take things out of the system backpack, and then took out a bunch of odds and ends.

Looking at his movements of taking things out and his habit of collecting all kinds of props, Xia Qi frowned, feeling that the purple-haired man looked very familiar.

After picking and choosing among a pile of items for a long time, Xia Qi finally selected 5 rolls of bandages, 2 bottles of hemostatic agents, a small milk pan, 10 packs of compressed biscuits, and a lighter that was said to have unlimited fire capabilities.

In the game copy, only props recognized by the game and issued to players can be brought in and out, so if you want other props, you can only buy or trade them in the central space.

"Have you finished choosing? Do you plan to trade with sin coins, or barter with me? I like the barter method." The purple-haired man said. He was born with a collecting habit and liked to collect all kinds of props he had never seen before.

"Exchange with sin coins." Xia Qi decisively chose sin coins. He was now wearing only bound items, and the only unbound silver table knife was thrown at the octopus by him.

"Ok, 10,000 sin coins, I'll give you a 99% discount on the neighborly friendship price."

The train whirred and brought the three people to the 13th floor.

Compared to the last time they lived in a small townhouse, the conditions of this apartment were much better. Not only was it a two-story building, it also came with a small yard.

After saying goodbye to the purple-haired man and the red-haired woman, Xia Qi returned to his room and had a good rest for two days.

Two days later, the game started again.

Dear survivor Xia Qi, welcome to the sin game.

Map loading... Player matching successful!

Please note that this is an advanced copy. Except for special terrain, the map will enable a killing mode between players!

It's killing mode again.

In the last instance, there were many mid-level players, so the young master was the only one who attacked the others. This time, the instance should be mostly high-level players.

Xia Qi couldn't help but start to worry, will the killing between players become more intense

As he was thinking, the scenes around him began to spin rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, he came to a dark hall.

Dear survivors, in this instance, all survivors will be divided into two camps: the Light Extinguishers and the Secret Keepers. Now, please choose your favorite camp!

Xia Qi frowned. Are we going to divide into groups and camps again

However, this time, the names of the two major camps, "The Light Extinguishers" and "The Secret Ones", sound very strange, unlike the simple hostile relationship between the Blue and Red camps of the past.

He was just thinking about it, when suddenly, in the darkness not far away, two beams of light suddenly fell. The light on the left was yellow, and the light on the right was red.

The two beams of light hit different platforms. On the platform below the faint yellow light, there were 6 pitch-black coffins. And under the mysterious red light, there were 6 black-sailed boats with red roofs. However, these black-sailed boats looked very unreliable, as if they were made of gray paper.

Xia Qi looked at the black-sailed boat and wondered if it was going to go underwater again this time

But that’s not necessarily the case. This coffin doesn’t look like it was taken underwater.

Then, another "ding dong" sound was heard, and 12 beams of light were cast down from the sky above the entire dark hall, and each beam of light accurately landed on a different player.

Xia Qi narrowed his eyes and adjusted to the strong light. When he gradually saw the surrounding scene clearly, he suddenly met a familiar gaze.

"Cha Gon?"

Xia Qi was stunned when he suddenly saw Cha Gong appear opposite him.

Seeing Xia Qi again, Cha Gong didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he pulled the corners of his mouth and gave Xia Qi an awkward smile, saying, "Xia Qi, are you going to join my camp this time?"

Xia Qi looked at him warily. In the "Rose Earl" copy, the two of them had already torn their faces apart. How could he possibly join Cha Gong's camp

As the two were talking, the muscular man standing next to Cha Gong whistled and said to Xia Qi, "Hey, you have a good boyfriend."

Different from the muscular men I had seen before, this muscular man had very tight muscles all over his body, especially his thick arms, as if he had practiced boxing. What was even more terrifying was his face. He had a big scar from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. Because of his triangular eyes, he looked at people with a fierce and somewhat evil look.

The first time he saw this person, Xia Qi instinctively felt that this person must have committed a murder.

Not only that, Xia Qi looked around and found that most of the players matched this time were adult men. These adult men all had good looks and none of them looked easy to mess with.

However, in the corner, Xia Qi saw an acquaintance.

His next-door neighbor—the red-haired girl.

The red-haired girl was also slightly stunned when she saw Xia Qi.

"Let's divide into camps. Time is running out."

I don't know who reminded them impatiently, and then many people went straight towards the sloop.

In the sin game, although ghosts exist, few people are willing to choose unlucky things. Who wants to lie in a coffin as soon as they enter the door

What if I end up lying down with a ghost

Without waiting for Xia Qi to stand up, Cha Gong glanced at Xia Qi, and rushed towards the wupeng boat with the scarred man.

Xia Qi pursed his lips, chose a completely different direction from Cha Gong, and came to the coffin under the yellow light.

Just as Xia Qi was about to observe how to use the coffin, the red-haired woman walked directly to his side. She opened the coffin lid with one hand, stepped in and lay down, sneering: "Light extinguisher, interesting."
