“One hundred thousand it is, then.”
Zuo Lin'an's tone was casual.
“Though it's indeed a bit expensive, we won't be going back often anyway.”
“Besides, one Contribution point can be exchanged for one million in cash. As long as we're careful when dealing with players and don't run into any accidents, it's basically like earning a million a week.”
“Plus, there were corpses for sale in the trading market earlier, and a single corpse cost fifty thousand. A specter bus ticket at one hundred thousand doesn't actually seem that bad in comparison...”
Xu Youyou took a deep breath, suppressing the resentment in his heart.
“I just earned a million in cash and was planning to go back and show off to my aunt. I didn't expect that two bus tickets for a round trip would deduct two hundred thousand from me.”
Zuo Lin'an was speechless. “You earned all that money just to show off to Aunt Mei?”
Xu Youyou said helplessly, “Forget it, forget it. It's not like we can just not go back, and we certainly can't walk.”
“Instructor An Wen said before that even if he drove from Sin Hunter City to here without eating or sleeping, it would still take three to five days of continuous driving. How long would it take if we walked?”
Even if they traveled using their specter bodies, it would probably still be exhausting.
The two of them purchased the tickets, instantly leaving them with a balance of nine hundred thousand.
Zuo Lin'an also withdrew one hundred thousand to his bank card to cover daily expenses outside.
One hundred thousand should be more than enough.
Given his current unique status, he wouldn't need to spend much anyway.
Next, he packed a few changes of clothes and some daily essentials into a suitcase.
“We can take this opportunity to visit our homeroom teacher at school and tell her the good news that we've become dungeon bosses. If only I had saved her phone number back then.”
Xu Youyou said, “Our homeroom teacher? She probably found out long ago. After all, we're her students.”
Zuo Lin'an thought about it and realized he was right. “Aren't you going to pack?”
Xu Youyou waved his hand. “I'll just bring my two phones and myself. That's my home; everything else is already there. No need to pack.”
Zuo Lin'an grabbed his luggage and walked out of the house with Xu Youyou.
After waiting outside for a few minutes, a pitch-black, smooth road soon extended from the distance, with a familiar bus following close behind.
The vehicle came to a steady halt in front of them. The two boarded one after the other and noticed there was already another passenger on board.
“Huh? Are you... An Mu?”
The two of them found seats and sat down.
Zuo Lin'an looked toward the back. It was indeed An Mu, Instructor An Wen's daughter.
“You succeeded too?”
An Mu didn't seem surprised to see them.
“Yes. Although I entered Sin Hunter City a bit later than you guys, I came out yesterday, which was just in time for the dungeon that opened at midnight today.”
“I successfully wiped out all the players and made a bit of money, so I'm planning to head back and visit my dad.”
Xu Youyou said, “In that case, Instructor An Wen had three of his students succeed this time. That should keep him excited for quite a while!”
At the thought of the beaming smile on An Wen's face when she met him after leaving Sin Hunter City, An Mu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Xu Youyou, on the other hand, grew quite interested and quickly struck up a conversation with An Mu.
“Hey, were the three of us the only ones from our batch who succeeded?”
An Mu nodded. “Yes. The rest either failed to make it out or regretted their choice and left before even entering the city. We are the only ones who truly succeeded.”
Xu Youyou blinked. “Then we really are quite fated. Why don't we start a chat group? Just the three of us.”
An Mu didn't refuse. “Sure. We can share our experiences and tips on dealing with players. I almost slipped up this time.”
Zuo Lin'an pulled out his phone and saw that Xu Youyou had indeed invited An Mu into a group. However, instead of their original two-person group, he had created a brand-new group for the three of them.
He didn't say much, silently forwarding the video he had taken of Lin Deyou's Qi Deviation into the three-person chat.
An Mu glanced at it and gasped.
“So you were the one who made that forum post?”
Zuo Lin'an replied, “Yeah. You've seen it?”
An Mu was quite interested. “I did. No one has ever seen a martial artist suffer Qi Deviation before, so your post actually became quite popular.”
“Tell me, how did he end up suffering Qi Deviation?”
Zuo Lin'an shrugged. “This Lin Deyou completely lost his cool just from a few words of mine.”
“I never expected him to react like that. It actually gave me a bit of a fright at the time. After suffering Qi Deviation, he broke through from a Second-Rate to a First-Rate martial artist and even threw a punch at me.”
He added a few more brief sentences, roughly explaining the cause of the Qi Deviation.
Only after understanding the details did An Mu realize what had happened.
“So that's how it was. Then it actually makes a lot of sense.”
Once they started talking, An Mu quickly warmed up to them. Although she had seemed a bit cold and distant at first, she became quite talkative once they got to know each other.
Furthermore, she seemed to get along incredibly well with Xu Youyou, who was equally talkative.
Xu Youyou said, “At that time, there was this player in my dungeon...”
An Mu asked, “Really? They were that strong?”
Xu Youyou continued to boast, “It's not just me. Brother An is the one who's truly powerful...”
Zuo Lin'an stopped talking after participating in the initial conversation.
Chatting with two chatterboxes?
There was no need.
As they chatted, Zuo Lin'an also learned about the situation with the players An Mu had faced in her dungeon.
Back at the training base, the students of their batch generally knew the Death Rules each other had formulated.
As for An Mu's rule...
It was said that Instructor An Wen had specifically chosen it for her based on past data. It suited her perfectly and made it incredibly easy for players to trigger.
Furthermore, thorough preparations had been made for her method of execution.
After all, An Mu was a girl.
In a place like Sin Hunter City, relying on her own strength to kill everyone one by one was simply unrealistic, so An Wen had prepared poison for her.
Inside Sin Hunter City, everyone who triggered her rule was poisoned to death.
“I chose a small criminal settlement and had everyone trigger my rule. Then, I found an excuse to get the boss of the settlement to gather all the members for a meal.”
“I poisoned them during the meal, killing everyone.”
As for what excuse she used to convince the settlement's boss, they didn't ask. That was An Mu's own capability.
At this point, An Mu let out a soft sigh. “My dad really worried himself sick over me.”
“Although I learned a lot of combat and killing techniques from my dad, women are naturally at a disadvantage when it comes to raw strength. Not to mention, the criminals in Sin Hunter City are mostly cunning, treacherous, and physically robust.”
“So whether it's getting them to trigger the rule or killing them, I had to choose a less obvious approach.”
Zuo Lin'an asked, “So that's why Instructor An Wen chose this Death Rule for you?”
An Mu nodded. “My dad said that the initiative to make players trigger the rule must always remain in my own hands.”
“Combined with my personal factors, the dangers in Sin Hunter City, and some experience from our predecessors, he formulated this rule for me.”
“Those who continuously gaze for ten seconds, die!”
