Chapter 30 (2/2)

Xiao Tangqiu rubbed his chin, “If it’s all ghost-type instances, then regardless of whether they are hot or cold weapons, wouldn’t they all be useless?”

“Since these weapons are available, that should mean that there are instances where they can be used, maybe……. zombies? Disaster types?” Tang Mianmian imagined a scene filled with zombies, and immediately felt a chill. He liked watching zombie films, but that didn’t mean that he wanted to transmigrate into one!

“In addition to these weapons, there are also various yellow talismans, holy water, crosses…… but they’re very expensive. We can’t afford them.” Tang Mianmian continued to scroll down the screen, “With our current points, we can only buy food and drinks. If we scrimp, we can probably get some band-aids, cold medicine and hemostatic agents.”

What could they do?! They were too poor!

In the end, the two men discussed and intended to only buy food and the hemostatic agent. Food was very cheap – canned food and mineral water were both worth 5 points each. The hemostatic agent cost 10 points. Of course, there were also expensive food and beverages, but they couldn’t spend that many points to purchase them.

After they clicked on the purchase button, the points on their wristwatch were automatically deducted, and two cans rolled out, still hot to the touch.

Xiao Tangqiu got canned braised beef while Tang Mianmian got canned braised pork ribs. They were almost moved to tears as they ate their hot meal. The shock and terror that they had suppressed inside that horror game was brought out by the warmth they felt in their stomachs.

“Wuwuwu, I miss my mom’s spare ribs braised in soy sauce…….” Tang Mianmian ate while he cried.

Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes were a little red as well, and all of a sudden the food in his mouth didn’t taste as good.

After their meal, Tang Mianmian also went to take a hot shower. They climbed into bed early, but Xiao Tangqiu wasn’t sleepy. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open and struggled through his first night in the city of the abyss.

They stayed in the house for a few days. On the seventh day, a messaged popped up on their wristwatches reminding them that they would enter the mission world again tomorrow. After completing a D-level mission, they could only rest for seven days and then had to enter the mission world again. If they didn’t enter voluntarily, they would be forced into it. Early morning the next day, they each exchanged a bottle of hemostatic agent and set off on their second mission.

When Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmianmian reached the transfer square, it was very busy. A group of people were gathered around, as though they were watching what was going on. However, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were focused only on the mission at hand and the transfer modules in front of them.

It was only when they were about to enter the transfer module that Xiao Tangqiu looked in the crowd and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face – Meng Xinghe! ……..No, that’s not right….. It was Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan walked towards the transfer module. He was followed by his companions and seemed to be entering a mission as well.

Xiao Tangqiu heart skipped a beat, he wouldn’t be on the same mission as Shen Yuan, would he?

It gradually turned dark as the transfer module door slowly closed.

Little by little, his heart started to calm down. How was that possible? He was just a rookie whereas Shen Yuan was a District S player…… How could he be on a D-level mission?

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed before he heard the system’s familiar voice ringing in his ear, “Dear players, congratulations for accepting the S-level mission [Devil’s Castle]. Your mission objective is to [lift the castle’s curse]. The time limit is 7 days. After the mission is completed, you will receive 50,000 points, and if the mission fails, you will immediately be obliterated.”

“Finally, dear players, welcome to the abyss…….”

Xiao Tangqiu cursed, “……Fuck my life! S-level mission?! Are you kidding me? I’m just a pitiful rookie! Let me out!”

The next second, he opened his eyes only to see a bat flying towards his face. He immediately turned to hide in fear and at the same time, a lazy, arrogant voice sounded, “Aiya, there are actually two rookies…….” That person’s malicious laughter made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously looked ahead, but the moment his own eyes met a pair of cold, peach blossom eyes, he froze in place.

Meng Xinghe……

No.

–Shen Yuan.
