GOR Chapter 574 This Instance Dungeon Is Infected

Time is an interesting concept.

The reason why it is interesting, is because the concept of time is always relative. This is something that many people could vaguely sense. However, they would never ponder too much about it.

How long is ten minutes?

Six hundred seconds.

This amount of time may be enough for the heart to beat a few hundred times – most people could probably do that.

However, this 10 minutes’ worth of time, is it long, or is it short?

For a student who loves to play games after feeling tired from studying, if that student were to spend that 10 minutes playing Kings of Glory (Arena of Valour in the West) or some other similar games, that 10 minutes would pass in the blink of an eye.

If he were to study with all his heart, each second would feel like a year.

This is a very strange concept. Many people could vaguely sense it. However, not many would actually try to ponder through it. Whenever they think of this issue, majority of them would use a certain thought to comfort themselves: It is due to the difference in emotional state. When doing something you like, you would feel time flowing quickly.

Is it… …

… … … just because of that?

…

[System prompt: Instance dungeon D5093 has begun. Duration for this instance dungeon is 300 minutes. This instance dungeon’s quest is of the confrontation type.

[Countdown: 299 minutes 59 seconds…]

Chen Xiaolian had received this prompt 10 minutes ago.

To be exact, when this instance dungeon started 10 minutes ago, Chen Xiaolian had received the prompt through his personal system.

Back then, Chen Xiaolian and Soo Soo had made their way into Bran Castle. They had just stepped into the hall when the system informed them that the instance dungeon had begun.

At the same time, the entirety of Bran Castle underwent a refresh process.

The scene around them began changing.

The ancient and dilapidated looking castle gradually became new. The positioning of some of the items too, changed.

One of the changes happened in one of the towers in the left corner of the castle hall. That tower had bronze cannons with rusty surfaces. The rust on the surface of the cannons gradually faded away. The fence set up around the castle that had been turned into a museum gradually disappeared.

The pictures and frames hung on the wall to introduce the place also disappeared. In its place were some weapons such as swords, axes, blades, shields…

A weapon rack appeared in the corner and was filled with spears.

The number of tourists in the castle was sparse in the morning. However, they were still there. The instant the instance dungeon began, the tourists inexplicably disappeared.

The instance dungeon had begun.

However, what happened next, shocked Chen Xiaolian to the core…

To be exact, it was at this moment, 10 minutes after the instance dungeon began that Chen Xiaolian entered a state of shock and… … … he also felt a trace of… …

Horror.

There was only one reason for that, the ‘system prompt’ in his personal system.

The first few sentences were not surprising.

What shocked Chen Xiaolian was the final prompt.

[Countdown: 299 minutes 59 seconds…]

Even after 10 minutes, that prompt remained unchanging.

No change!

In other words, the system’s countdown was not ticking down.

…

Ten minutes earlier, the countdown was at 299 minutes and 59 seconds.

Now, ten minutes later, the countdown showed the same thing.
