The "frog" in the sculpture's mouth, isn't that the player?
The supermarket boss's expression changed abruptly.
"What the hell?!"
In an instant, that ominous feeling in his heart turned directly into intense emotion, rushing straight to the top of his skull.
"What do you mean he killed you all, and the floor changed?!"
The boss lost control and questioned the shattered pieces on the floor, but in fact, he didn't need an answer; he vaguely understood something.
That player upstairs was probably a complete fraud!
Seeing his disguise seen through and knowing he couldn't deal with the supermarket boss, the player deliberately spun a massive lie.
Thinking about it now, tracking the [Hunter], witnessing the [Hunter] scamming—probably all fake.
The supermarket boss's skin trembled in layers, and with a snap, he crushed the teacup in his hand, sending tea splashing.
That damn bastard. He clearly tried to use the [Hunter]'s information for a scam, failed, and temporarily changed his goal.
The player putting on that act was just to lure him away, then kill those statues to buy himself a chance of survival!
With the floor changed, it was indeed very difficult for him to find the player!
Something was wrong, but the supermarket boss couldn't be bothered to think too deeply about it.
He stood there, his flabby skin stretching due to anger.
"My bone gold coins... my snacks!"
"All gone! All gone!"
"What's wrong, sir?" the fake person next to him asked politely.
The supermarket boss shoved it away.
"Memory Supermarket!" he roared aggressively.
The next second.
Accompanied by a brief dizziness, the boss slammed hard onto an empty shelf.
The loud noise drew the attention of the players outside.
Zhu Yan, holding a fragrant roasted giant squid, hid in the crowd, eating and watching.
This squid wasn't cheap, but it smelled amazing.
Besides this, he had also stolen some freshly baked sandwiches, roujiamo, and drinks, just in case.
"What was that sound?"
Beside Zhu Yan, a player nervously tugged at his companion.
"A shelf probably fell," the other person said cautiously. "Someone shared news in the group that the horror creatures on this floor won't attack."
Zhu Yan silently took a bite of the squid.
Through the gaps in the crowd, he had already seen the boss's head, swollen like a balloon, with fine purplish-blue veins clearly visible on the scalp.
Zhu Yan knew this wasn't the right time to watch the drama, nor the right time to joke around.
But he couldn't help himself!
"Oh my, this horror creature is obviously angry."
Zhu Yan said with a grin, dodging backward while stretching his neck to watch the show.
"Did you see, his head is about to turn into a giant blister..."
"Get out here!!"
The supermarket boss's shrill voice echoed through the entire corridor, interrupting Zhu Yan's meaningless complaints.
...
"You're saying he's the [Hunter]?! You're saying the [Hunter] is really level seven?!"
Inside Dorm 303.
Qin Yang's surprised voice and the supermarket boss's shouts from outside mixed together, along with the sound of Yang Zhanbai chewing.
"Yes."
Yang Zhanbai swallowed his food, sneered, and shook his head.
"Where did you get the audacity to think the information on the [Wanted Poster] was fake?"
His complexion had completely regained its color; at this moment, the few of them were standing in front of the mirror, watching the boss's angry back.
"This [Hunter] is offending both sides, angering players and horror creatures alike."
Chen Zhaoxing hummed absentmindedly, staring at the mirror while rapidly carving something with a small knife.
"Is the cockroach delicious? The one I gave you is a realistic modified version I developed. The body was changed from a hard chocolate shell to a caramel shell, and the filling is liquid chocolate sauce... Oh, did you feel that juice-bursting sensation of a real cockroach when you bit into it?"
About 3 minutes ago, Dorm 303 was luckily teleported over as well.
There were six people in the dorm. Qin Yang, pale-faced, was cowering in the corner with his companions, observing Yang Zhanbai's expression.
The stories from both sides matched.
Qin Yang swallowed hard.
The thought that he had actually been tricked by the [Hunter] disguised as a horror creature made anger and panic weigh so heavily on him that he could barely breathe.
If it weren't for that blonde guy named Xu Tongguang taking pity and pulling them along, they might not even be alive right now!
"The [Hunter] is indeed very strong; none of us are a match for him."
Qi Yinming's head ached at the thought of this.
"If only we could find Zhu Zeyu. If Zhu Zeyu were here, maybe there would be a way."
Yang Zhanbai savored the taste of the cockroach candy and reached out to Chen Zhaoxing: "Give me another one. Did Zhu Zeyu reply?"
Qi Yinming's gaze swept over a spot in the air.
"Not yet." He was a bit disappointed. "If it really doesn't work out, we'll just have to follow Qin Yang's suggestion and take the risk of providing clues to the real frog."
"No," Yang Zhanbai said coldly. "Absolutely not. None of the horror creatures are any good. The rewards they give players will likely cost the players their lives."
"Going over there without any guarantees, are you guys crazy?"
Qin Yang's lips trembled as if he wanted to argue.
Yang Zhanbai glanced at him coldly, lifted his chin toward the mirror, his tone already carrying a warning.
"Watch it. In front of me, you better not do anything stupid."
"Who here doesn't have a couple of lives on their hands?"
Qin Yang shivered.
No one spoke anymore. Everyone unanimously looked toward the mirror. Chen Zhaoxing casually handed a new cockroach to Yang Zhanbai.
"Oh, this one has cockroach egg cases made of popping candy... Huh, what is this boss doing?"
...
In the corridor.
The boss's dull gray eyes carefully scanned every face, trying to trace the familiar scent of that scammer player.
A cold, slimy aura, like a snake, slithered through the corridor filled with the smell of food.
To Zhu Yan's right, a mouse wearing a chef's hat lost its grip on a spoon, the iron spoon hitting the ground with a crisp clang.
Dead silence.
Many players were terrified and shivering, and the crowd slowly began to retreat.
Zhu Yan slowly crouched down to ensure the supermarket boss couldn't see him.
He hadn't logged into that player account "Zhu Zeyu" for a long time.
He needed to change locations, find time to see what Qi Yinming had told him, and add some drama for himself.
The supermarket boss was about to lose it.
If he didn't run now, when would he?
The boss's violent voice pierced the stifling air of the corridor.
"I'm going to tear him apart—tear him apart!!"
At the same moment, Zhu Yan shouted the password in a voice only he could hear.
"I love geoduck."
It felt as if a hand grabbed his ankle and pulled him hard toward the ground.
Zhu Yan felt his body lose balance, but the expected fall to the ground didn't happen—
At the last moment, he saw the supermarket boss lunge into the crowd in an almost crazed manner. The scene before his eyes blurred into noise, then quickly became clear again.
Zhu Yan almost instinctively activated [Roleplay], rapidly transforming into the appearance of the supermarket boss.
"Are you alright?" a polite voice rang out. "I am terribly sorry... but why did you just send me flying?"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
